Well!
Despite my previously expressed reservations about it, I've somehow ended up learning to drive. It's not... the worst, but it does terrify me a little. God, curbs are just the most annoying thing, but I really like driving with a clutch! It makes me feel so much safer, even if braking is a pest. I feel so much more grown up driving a car that ( Read more... ) -
Thunderstorm
We had a bad thunderstorm last night. I mean really bad. Power tentative, visible bolts of lightning, potentially unsafe to the point that we should hide in the basement. And... I knew it was really bad. I knew that something terrifying was going on, the awareness pervading my entire being, but I -- felt no terror ( Read more... ) -
Stupid driving...
I don't want to learn how to drive, to be honest. Driver's Ed has put the righteous fear of the road into me, thank you very much. It wouldn't suit my lifestyle. Too expensive to own a car. And furthermore I'm still not eligible to get a permit for another week, so honestly? I don't care. The Driver's Ed system is way too complicated, anyway! Too ( Read more... ) -
Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care...
I feel myself turning into one of those people who doesn't make schoolwork a priority, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's just... everything works out in the end, so why put in the effort? I know I mustn't tell myself these things, but I say them anyway. -
...should I post more often?
I feel like there are't as many things for me to say in this context as there once were. Right now I'm failing a class seriously for the first time, but that's about it. Comment box fic has become more rewarding for me than stuff with my name attached, because I'm praised beyond belief for nothing but adhering to expectations. I'm not even logged ( Read more... ) -
Do I Even Need To Say This?
If a single byte of information about me ends up on facebook, I'm going to have to punch a fish.

Bechdel wa?
So my boyfriend and I have gotten in an argument about the Bechdel test. I think it's completely valid. He does not. Our main disagreement concerns Death Note (which, technically, passes with some conversations between Mrs. Yagami, Misa, and Sayu) and Lord of the Rings (which does not). He claims that despite this failure to pass the Bechdel test, ( Read more... )
