So let's try this semagic thing
I downloaded this client called Semagic awhile ago that lets me write LJ entries on my puter, and post them later when I have an internet connection.
There's really so much floating around in my head right now, you have no idea. Maybe I should make it a habit of writing a little in my LJ every day on the train.
Today on the train (in the morning), I finished reading Shiroi Heya no Futari (I forget who it's by, but it's an old classic). With that, Candy Candy, and even Arisu ga Fushigi, I've suddenly rekindled my love for manga.
WHICH CALLS FOR CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I understand a little bit...I was having a hard time getting back into manga because of all the stupid stuff they have for kids these days, but I go back to the 90's manga or even 80's and 70's and there's my shoujo wonderland. It's so awesome! It doesn't even matter that they're all about schoolgirls--the characters and the execution of the story is just so different than manga today. Not to mention the art style, since today everything is done digitally, and back then they couldn't do that of course.
I don't know why I love traditional art so much and dislike digital art so much. I really don't, I mean you'd think I love the digital look considering what a computer nerd I am, right? Ironically I only like digital art that resembles oil paint or watercolor, or something similar.
Actually, on the topic of schoolgirl manga again, so far all of the Jousei manga I have read, besides Nana, really make me want to puke because they are all about Office Ladies lamenting about men and marriage and being cute, attractive women. BLEH. Shoujo plz. Or fantasy, that would be ok with me. But even shoujo romance is ok with me for some reason.
Anyway, along with that, I'm still undergoing my spiritual epiphany thing, and trying to organize my future at the same time. It's a little confusing, and it's lonely without Ken, but as long as I don't slack off I think I can make it.... If I don't accomplish anything new as a result of this, I don't know what I'll do with myself. I don't want to be that person who wakes up one day with a middle aged body and several kids and a boring-ass job and goes, "What happened???" (Assuming I don't die or become handicapped from the swollen lymph node in my head first D: It's starting to ache again...)
Well, one of the things I want to start off with is not writing entire posts like a dopey 15 year old anymore, even when I'm angry or depressed. Somehow my dark humor likes to express itself in lolspeak etc. I just don't want it to become habit, ya know?
I'll let you know how the rest goes....
