One project and one exam down, one paper and two more exams to go. :/ My Japanese exam was today (ironic given that today is the 68th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, and that I bought the first volume of Barefoot Gen in the college bookstore -- what, it was on sale! XD), and I have to say it went very well! So I'm spending the next couple of hours ( Read more... )

Your answers to the year in review meme were so much more interesting than mine. Of course, I guess my life was more interesting when I was in college than it is now.

Barefoot Gen, from what I've read, is really good. I haven't bought any of it (I should've bought the used volume I found at McKay's but it wasn't the first one, so I left it there). I recently found most of Banana Fish used at the same bookstore but decided not to buy it because honestly, there were a lot of volumes and I'm running out of room. Also the story looked kind of weird, at least from what I read in the first volume. I mostly just wanted it for the art and I already have too many manga I bought for that reason. -_-

I think I remember reading/hearing about the École Polytechnique massacre in college, but I forgot all about it until now. More recently I read about this guy (the "an heroes" articles on Encyclopedia Dramatica have been one of my guilty pleasures lately). So sad ( ... )

I'm not getting comment notifications, for some reason. I'm really tired right now, but I'll answer them soon. Be patient!! B\

Actually, very few of those actually pertain to college -- just March and November, and maybe February and December. And yeah, life in college is interesting, but it would be more so if I had friends and a better disposition. :/ I really hope things don't go downhill after I graduate. :(

I've heard nothing but good things about Barefoot Gen as well. Have you seen the movie, by any chance? It's really good, and I highly recommend it. (And is Banana Fish by the same mangaka ( ... )

What are these /cm/ things?

Collections of images from http://zip.4chan.org/cm/imgboard.html

Basically collections of all the images I saved from recent threads on /cm/, a board on 4chan (basically the SFW version of /y/, the yaoi board).

Oh I cannot wait to start doing the year-in-review memes (I'm such a memewhore it's not even funny).

Ecole Polytechnique is a very sad day up here every year - especially a few years ago when there was another shooting at a Montreal school :"( So fucking senseless and sad.

7. Makes me sad.

37. They are indeed very impressive.

54. I AM YOU

68. WHERE IN CANADA

75. aha ;) I hate most of it too (except for when I don't, lol).

Same; I love them way too much. XD ( ... )

54. Oooh, floorplans - I made SO MANY OF THOSE, my bff and I would draw horse stables and map everything out on graph paper, aha. You were not alone in your weirdness! Alas I've never played a game boy.

68. MFYYYYY. Halifax is an awesome city, there's a lot going on and it has a really neat culture - all the Maritimes are beautiful, actually. Alas I have never been to Vancouver or Montreal, I'll have to remedy that and report back to you, aha.

54. Yeah, and they were all either traces of floor plans I got from museums or aquariums or places like that, or places I completely made up. :DDDDDDD (And re: Game Boy: Don't worry, you weren't missing much. :P)

68. I've heard a lot of great things about the Maritimes, but because their economy has been in the tanks for a long time now (especially Newfoundland), I'm not sure if I'd actually want to live there, Halifax notwithstanding. And I really want to go to Montreal, considering it's like, two and a half hours away from college. XD
