Sometimes, I resent school and real life. I feel like I've been teetering on the edge of burnout for the past two months. I just keep thinking "After this, only one more semester" and sometimes it helps. I took an incomplete in one of my classes, so I still have a paper to write, but I think I can manage 20 pages in three weeks. So yeah, the semester's basically over. I'll remember it mostly for the way I spent it lurching from one major assignment to the next, much like a drunk in a room full of mirrors. I spent finals period with the mother of all colds. My Japanese final actually took the full two hours because I kept having to get up and blow my nose/cough/lie down for a few minutes. It was special like a bullet to the head. I kept thinking that it had to be the flu or a sinus infection or something other than an ordinary cold because this past week? I've never felt so badly in my life. I couldn't drive home on Thursday because I felt like crap, so I drove home today. The rest of the world must have driven home yesterday; I ran into three cars in Pennsylvania, and we raced each other home.
I did catch up on 60-odd chapters of Naruto last week in one glorious stretch of procrastination. Then I had a near-panic attack over the hours missed. Yay self-flagellation. And I realize this is about three months behind the rest of fandom, but Oh my god, Sasuke's outfit. What was that? Is he planning to run off and join Akatsuki? Is he working on his super gay bonus points? More bonus points, because when did Sasuke ever not make my gaysense tingle. I have yet to see any evidence that the entrance requirements for Akatsuki don't include 'Thou must be gayer than a Las Vegas Night Show'. I mean, look at them! Orochimaru left, but he still wears makeup, talks like a girl, and swishes. SO swishy. P.S. I really, really love Kakashi, Gai, and Neji. Like a lot. Neji needs to be attacked in more ways that end up with the convenient destruction of his hair tie. And Asuma! ;_;
But, I've decided that if people are going to pull pairings out of their asses in the Naruto fandom, then while they're at it, they should pull out a Shino/Naruto fic. I don't know why I want it, I just do. Or maybe I just want someone to convince me it can be done. I like Shino, for all that he and his dad remind me of beatniks. Maybe because of that. Random, but why does Tsunade have a slug as her summon? It's more than a little useless. On the other hand, watching Tsunade take on a giant snake by herself makes her even more amazing.
I need to spend several days catching up. If something super important/interesting/amusing/head-desking happened, let me know, otherwise I'll have to slog through pages and pages to get there. Also, someone please tell me not to make a crack Naruto FST with 80s pop music. I downloaded the 'Top 100 Hits of the 80s' for the ride home and it was amazing. Oh 80s.
P.S. What happened to the update page? This makes me sad.
