Grab Bag- Long!
- It's been posted, so now I can definitely talk about it- I am now co-mod of kifu_archive! :D I've never actually modded anything before, so we'll see how this goes. But Qem and I had a little pow-wow session and we have a bunch of ideas to try for next round, so we'll be bombarding you guys with those later. >D The real shocker? I was a prime candidate for co-modding blind_go along with Pye, apparently. O_o I was stunned. We talked about it in depth before we decided who was going to take on what and decided that BG was definitely much better off with her. Obviously. :D This is... strange. Good, but strange.
- I've signed up for a virtual 5k at the end of April. Hooooooooooly fuck. I have no IDEA what possessed me. On the upside, I know for a fact that I can walk 5k, and I don't have to run at all if I don't want to. Which, let's face it, probably isn't going to happen anyway. But I can try, right? ^_^;;;
- Tax money from federal got deposited into my account already. O_o Sooner than I expected. Man, I love e-filing and direct deposit. <3
- That being said, I have around $1800 in savings now. Which is weird- this is the first time I've had that much in there, I think. And it's definitely the first time I've had that much saved up without it being earmarked for something already. The plan is that once it's up to 3k (which will take a depressingly long time), I'm going to open up a separate savings account and dump it all in there. That's my "just in case" fund. Then the current savings account can start racking up monies again for all the stuff I'm actually trying to do financially- you know, aside from the nest egg that I'm dealing with now. I know 3k isn't a lot in the big scheme of things, but it's almost three and half month's take home pay for me.
- A bit more than halfway through Kuroshitsuji now. I think I like it? It's kind of morbid so far. XD It even had me looking up more info on Jack the Ripper and victims, because while the name and basic premise is general knowledge, specifics are not. And, of course, that's REALLY morbid. Aside from that, I'm a bit stunned at Ciel, because he's not who I initially thought he was going to be. He has his moments, but in general he's not that person, unless he's completely different in the manga- which I admit is possible. But probably not.
Still, though, this intrigues me. Which is a good thing because that'll keep me watching it. Even if my heart has already completely broken for Ciel on more than one occasion.
- Mrrr. I was playing with an icon for a few hours and still didn't like the results. Pye played with it for five minutes and came out with something WAY better than mine. I felt like a toddler with fingerpaints. Pffft, artists. XD (<3 Cousin~)
- In other news... guh, I'm like an addict or something. I keep wanting to undo certain things- at least one of them, anyway- I'm just... bored. And it's kind of lonely, if I'm really honest about it. But mostly bored. I haven't, though. I put a background on my phone that says "COURAGE" in big letters. It's totally a Glee reference which makes me die a little on the inside, but it's effective. I look at that when I'm tempted and I remember why I'm doing this in the first place- for my own well being- and that giving in so soon would just be pathetic.
- Finally saw Inception. Verdict: Meh. I think it got hyped up too much for me to actually enjoy it, like The Princess Bride and Rocky Horror. My favorite part was the ending. ^_^;;;
