oints:It's about damn time I updated this journal, maaan. HOW ARE YOU, ALL?!
I'm finally a senior in high school going onto her second semester! I've already been infected by senioritis, so I hardly even give a damn. I've been applying to too many colleges for my own good (*cough 20+) and stress has been pounding down on me like a heaving downpour. Though, I was accepted to Barrett, the Honors College at ASU, so I'm pretty much set. I originally wanted to attend Embry-Riddle at Prescott, but I've decided to stay close to home.
My life's a bit of a mess as of late and I hoped that during this winter break, I could patch up the skewed fragments, but I was a bit of a dumbass and even procrastinated in attempting to get my shit together. You know what I did instead?! PLAY FFXIII FOR HOURS ON END. I've never finished the game; I finally bought it just recently and there's too many feels for me to handle, haha. Lightning is too tsundere, it's absolutely adorable.
So, here are a few updates!
My love life is inexistent. And, I actually feel mega-relieved about it. With too many things to juggle at the moment, having another person in my life isn't something I can really handle at the moment, ahaha. It actually ended around the time school began! The parting wasn't bitter or anything; it was…mutual? I'm not even sure anymore. I honestly don't like to think about it much these days.
Though, I will say that as of this moment, the extent of my love life is probably this floaty kind of feeling towards an old flame. Something's there I tell you; I just...can't materialize it. I can't help but feel like it's so much…more. It's a type of bond that's lasted years of absence and whatnot. Ahaha, it's absolutely delightful. In due time, I guess…
I must admit, my first official relationship made me realize a few things about myself (and learn a few lessons):
- Affections in public make me feel awkward as fuck;
- I can spend hours on end fantasizing about the romantic things I can do with another person, but when I'm given the opportunity to do something, I generally get nervous as hell and everything slips my goddamn mind;
- I need to be more honest with myself;
- Kissing feels weird;
- If I don't feel the same way towards someone else, I should be able to say so;
- I am perfectly capable of finding my own means of happiness without the help of someone else;
- My mother taught me how to be more tsundere than I thought;
- When I'm fucking sad, I resort to ice cream (Thank GOD for high metabolism), romantic comedies, and/or venting on Twitter;
- I should not say "I love you" when there is a part of me (despite how SMALL) that doubts the notion.
I COLLECT ANIME FIGURES NOW. Damn straight, children. I'm currently at 8 figures at the moment (my Ui Hirasawa figure came in sometime this month! ♡) and I mean to be an avid collector as I grow up. This has always been a hobby I've been meaning to take up, and THANK GOD I finally did. I must say, it feels really great. I've made my first pre-orders on AmiAmi earlier this month! Based on the poll, I actually went ahead and pre-ordered 3 figmas: Kirito AND Asuna (SAO) along with Henrietta (Gunslinger Girl)! I originally pre-ordered Kirito and Henrietta, but Asuna came up the day after, so I thought, "Aw, what the hell." So, yes. Look forward to pictures of my collection in the future! ; u ;
Fasdkjhaksjehrklasher I'M SO EXCITED TO GET ASUNA AND KIRITO THOUUUUUGH. I LOVE THEM SO MUCCCCCCH UGHHGJHKJGHKASJRLACNAE
I was recently published! Well, I'm going to get published. I entered my poem, "error, error message" in the contest Creative Communication holds thrice yearly. They have an upcoming deadline sometime in April for poetry, so if you're interested, go ahead and visit the website! But anyways, I entered the poem under the title, "the last dip of a one-sided tango." It'll be published as a part of an anthology of poems and such.
If you haven't noticed already, I deleted my Tumblr! I deleted it all the way back towards the beginning of the school year in an attempt to channel my attention toward schoolwork (which worked like a charm, mind you). Though, I sort of regret it. I could have at least preserved it, you know? I had some fantastic friends on there. *sigh. Ah well. I've actually opened a new unagihime account. It's empty as of this moment, but I intend to return as soon as I have time.
I am incredibly sleep deprived. I've lost so much sleep nowadays that it's not even funny. On average, I sleep about 2-5 hours a night. What the fuck kind of sleep schedule do I even have?! For a while, it was for finishing homework, but nowadays, with less things to do, I've been up just because I couldn't even sleep. The other night, I stayed awake till about 4:30-ish AM reading an entire fanfic of about 20 chapters and I had school in a few hours, haha. I stayed awake for over 12 hours with 2 hours of sleep. I wanted to die. (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻
AND I HAVE A CAR NOW. WHAAAAAT? I don't even have my permit or my license yet, but my parents have already invested in my graduation gift! They snagged it for a deal, too. It's a 1997 Honda (I'm unsure of the model…) and it's beautiful. Though this month, I'll be learning how to drive! …FINALLY. I'm 18 and I can't even drive yet. Pathetic, haha.
Uh, there are more things, I guess. But, they're not really that important to mention. I'll be trying my best to be more active here on dA, though! Getting a premium membership is fantastic, haha. I originally bought it for my friend,
, but I was just lucky that dA was offering a Buy 1 Get 1 deal on memberships. c: Recently finished anime:
SWORD ART ONLINE. (Kirito and Asuna have been added to my list of OTPs. I'm honestly not that big of a fan of Suguha; the cousin x cousin relationship was awkward for me. I know it's acceptable in Japan and all and that sometimes, love is something that can't be helped, but it's just a little weird for me right now. Her big boobs don't impress me! ~PETTANKO4LYF~ Though, I guess the reason why I'm a bit iffy on my opinion of her is because her character hasn't really grown on me as much as Asuna's… I'll be reading the light novels, so I hope my opinion of her changes in a more positive light.)
Working on:
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Follow me on Twitter! I tweet like an idiot and I say dumb shit 24/7.
Instadamn (username: unagihime).
AND friend me on myanimelist! Check out what anime/manga I've watched/read, wahaha! (Please, if you have any recommendations, don't hesitate to note me, comment, whatever.)
Alright. It's 2 in the morning and I'm exhausted. Good night. I love you all. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
