I was doing so well for a while there!

[ltgmars]

Everyone predicted that I would fall off the updating wagon soon enough, but I didn't realize it'd be that quickly! Every few days I'd be like "ohgosh gotta post" and then I'd just never get around to it, so now's the time! I will do it! Here's a super boring and rambly rundown of my last few months

Comments

I'm so happy that you got to hang out with family that you love! It's always exciting to be back amongst familiar faces, and your post made me wonder if I'll have uni friends that I'll be able to go back and hang out with after I graduate. The conclusion I came back to is that I can't be sure because I probably won't live in this state when I graduate.

I'm so excited for you! JAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. I'll email my itinerary to you after you get settled then we can totally meet up and hang!

/hugs I find that it was really important for me to work towards finding a balance between being shameless about my writing (no matter how much I don't like a thing, I will either edit it till I love it or just love it anyway because hey I wrote it!) and wanting to work towards one day being better than everybody else (a girl can dream). So I totally understand the competitive ego thing behind wanting to "prove" yourself. /pats Just write what makes you happy! All writing is complete self-indulgence anyway. <333 I hope you feel better soon

It's so hard to keep up with people as you grow up and move away and your friends split off into different parts of the world (look at me -- I'm going to Japan!), but it is nice to know that you have some people you can relate to, even if you never get to see them. :3

And yesssssssssssssssss IDK where all you're planning to go, but you're always welcome in Nagoya -- I assume! I don't even know what the housing situation is yet. XD

I feel like I'm also not willing (feel ~too busy~) to put in the time it takes to really polish my writing, which is pretty unfortunate. XD Like the majority of what I write ends up just being something I slam out when I'm pressed with a deadline, and I hardly get a chance to process it and let it sit and reflect on it and make those edits that I want. I think I'm really going to make an effort to write more non-exchange fic so I'll get that chance, and then maybe someday I'll know that I've put in the work to feel good enough so I can stop getting so anxious about it. XD

Where will you be in Japan.
At least you are moving after August hell. Ugh. It's already horrible weather.

I hate like every single thing I write but I realize I'm being dumb. But then again the reason I write is that I get an idea that just don't go away. So it's a balance. Shirotori has been helping with that.

[ltgmars]

I'll be moving to Nagoya! And yeah, I'm very much looking forward to avoiding the rainy season and the summer heat, at least this time 'round.

I find Shiritori to be simultaneously really useful and really stressful -- because it does force me to write, but then I get too "busy" and all I can do is slam out a few sentences, and how much can you even say? :< But yeah, I guess those ideas have to go somewhere!

[cutselvage]

Family! Weddings! Hot femme outfits! Friends! And of course congratulations on your job (I hope if you have time and it's not too forward, we might be able to meet when I'm over in November too :D)

The writing stuff is hard, oh man. <3 But at least there's always Bun-chan.

[ltgmars]

Um I was already kind of assuming that I'd be on your November itinerary XD so no worries bb we'll make some magic happen. :D

(Bun-chaaaaaaaan)

[barbosa2007]

Dropping by to say that I enjoy reading your RL updates! I don't have anything much to contribute in return but I'm really excited for your move to Japan! I hope the Countess travels well and you guys settle in smoothly.

[ltgmars]

Ahh thank you! I hope so, too. :3

[yomimashou]

Sorry for this late comment, I meant to comment on this when you posted it! I also fell off the updating wagon again, but I'm always happy to see your posts~

Good luck with all your moving stuff! I'm excited that you'll be here soon. And both weddings sound like they were really great. You've got lots of people rooting for you all over the world ♥

[ltgmars]

Posting is hard somehow! I have all these things to say, but making it, like, intelligible just feels like so much work. XD

Thank you! I'm excited, too~~~ As it turns out, due to Visa Things, I won't be able to move till probably mid- or late-October boooo so no Bun-chan stage play for me boooooooooooo. But! I'll be in Japan for the long haul, and I'm excited to be able to spend more time with you guys and to have more regular access to so many things that make me happy. :3

[yomimashou]

Yes, exactly XD I feel like it's rewarding when I actually do it, though, so... ganbarimasu.

Oh no, visa things are the worst T__T I hope Bun-chan has another play you can see him in soon! And maybe we can go to a concert together sometime~

[ltgmars]

He does have another one coming up -- he's in Yaracchi's musical in December, and I've already asked my friend to put in a bunch of ballots for it. XD So that helps make things a little easier to cope with, even though I've been looking forward to this particular stage play since DECEMBER. ._.
