Fuck off, anxiety
But seriously, anxiety is so fucking stupid. I can't believe I've been a wreck all day just because I wrote a note in a forum to an author I like. Hitting "post" on the message started a whole cascade of thoughts a la: "Why did you do that? She doesn't want to hear from you. She doesn't give a shit that you live in the same town. She probably will ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Apparently these days I only write here when I am having problems with my anxiety. I guess it's because I feel like I want to tell someone, but I also don't want to broadcast it on my facebook or bug my friends about it. I suppose I feel like no one will care, or maybe they won't know what to say and it will just make them feel awkward too. I don't ( Read more... ) -
Best Rom Com Drama Ever?
It's official: Flower Boy Ramyun Shop is one of the best rom com dramas ever. I was wrong when I said the main character was a girl, because it's totally all about the male lead (Cha Chi Soo). Can I say just one more time how refreshing it is to have the GUY swooning all over the girl and NOT after she's already confessed and made him have to think ( Read more... ) -
Flower Boy Ramen Shop
Since I've been sick the last few days and my computer's been on the fritz I've been watching a lot of dramas since they aren't particularly taxing on my brain and pass the time quickly. After initial hesitation based almost entirely on the name of the show (and its implications for the genre of the piece), I bit the bullet and started Flower Boy ( Read more... ) -
It's all in your head
I spend far too much time being crushed by what I imagine to be other peoples' expectations of me. -
Noticeable
I'm observing a Japanese class three days a week at Joel's school. Every class the teacher takes roll and at the end she always says "Peggy-san mo imasu, ne..." (and Peggy is also here...) since I am not on the roll. Today it sounded like she said, "Peggy-san ga inai..." (Peggy's not here) and four or five people all went, "Yes she is! Peggy is ( Read more... ) -

Nice Guy
Nice Guy (The Innocent Man) makes me realize why it is that people like soap operas. I've never bought into American soaps mostly because they never end and so I never really saw the point in getting involved with them. Korean melodramas have the distinct advantage of having a beginning, middle, and an end, so you know there will be a real ( Read more... ) -
I am not a library
A couple of people have asked to borrow my comics recently. When it was just the professor I am working with and one other person, I was pretty open to it. Now that ANOTHER person is asking, I am starting to get concerned. I don't really like loaning out my stuff to start with. I definitely don't want to become known as a comic book library for ( Read more... ) -
Linguistic Limitations
Last week when we were flying back to California for a wedding, I found an abandoned copy of 50 Shades of Grey by our gate. It's very difficult for me to turn down the opportunity to pick up a free book--particularly when it's supposed to be terrible--so I grabbed it. I didn't get a chance to really get into it until today. I'm about 150 pages in ( Read more... )
