OH MY GOD IT'S

A REAL ENTRY.

Wow I haven't done one of these since like... January. HOW ABOUT SOMETHING um. Japan is still Japan. I go home in a little over a month now, but it doesn't really feel real. As homesick as I am, I know the few things I like about being here, I'm going to really miss. And I'll probably go through some weird reverse culture shock when I get back. Hopefully I haven't turned into so much of a recluse that I can't function in groups anymore when I get back, haah. Being around more than 3-4 people feels so stressful.

School stuff is okay. My classes are all really boring and I'm really starting to hate my Japanese class. Like, our last presentation, I was the only person who was able to read the whole thing without staring at my script reading word for word, or talking like I'm announcing for horse races or something like this one girl (seriously, she sounds like she's an auctioneer or something when she talks Japanese, it's so annoying to listen to) AND YET because my little paper that people were supposed to follow along to wasn't in the exact same format as everyone else, I got scolded in front of the class.

UHM I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LEARNING THE LANGUAGE HERE, WHO CARES IF I DIDN'T SEPARATE AND TITLE EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING...? The papers were bullshit anyway; every student had to print 22 copies, and some had more than one page! Those poor trees...

Outside of school... lol I don't do anything. I have to be really careful with money, since I'd like to have some left over after I get back for until school starts again. If I go anywhere, I spend money, so... :'D I think I'll just be a super tourist for the last week I'm here to make up for it, and go see everything one last time.

And on a little note healthwise... eh. I keep getting sick here, but I think that's more because of mental stress than actually being sick. This past week I've been having anxiety issues that make my heart feel funny and make it hard to breathe whenever I lay down, and that's been a lot of fun... I think I need to take a break from things for awhile, but I'm not sure where to take a break or how.

And of course, RP wise, which is like... most of my life these days. I am a very exciting person.

Honestly, I feel like I need to take a break from Luceti for a bit. Not the drop-kind of break, but like... big hiatus break. And maybe a drop for the character I've been struggling with (sob, Tanuma). The only thing holding him in place now is knowing that all my threads are going to be sad for awhile if I only stick with Ion; since I've been so horrible to him, he's pretty much just a ball of sad right now. And honestly, there's a part of me that kind of wants to hold off on working to make things better for him when I know next month will have some sad plots too.

Which I don't mind! But... I need a happy outlet when I'm over here in a bad mood all the time too. :'D

And that's why I'm finally taking the jump and doing this.

I've been wanting to get back into Smash for like... ever. I always waffled over it because of various reasons and things coming up...

But man, I've totally fallen in love with the game Ib. I loved Yume Nikki and .flow, but the one thing I always wanted to see was a storyline version of that kind of gameplay. Of just... creepy and unsettling things in a horror setting. And since I started playing not expecting to get SUDDENLY PARTY MEMBER, I think that made me love Garry even more. :'D And, aside from the fact that Ib as a canon wouldn't be appable in Luceti, I think I'd like him in a setting like Smash more. I'm kind of worried I might be stepping on someone's toes, but... I didn't see any other reserves or apps up, so I think it's okay... we'll see...

...anyway I should sleep now, gotta be up in 6 hours. /flies

SO, UH.

I don't get the inspiration to write and complete fan fiction very much, but when I do, it usually hits me all at once and then I HAVE TO ROLL WITH IT until it is complete. That happened tonight at like 2 am. And I wrote this and then CRIED LIKE A LITTLE GIRL because I depress myself. :|b

Since I don't feel like digging out my ancient FF.net account, I'll just leave this here. It has no title and it ends kind of abruptly, but I feel good about where I left it off. Just a drabble. |D

OKAY MINI SAKURACON REPORT because I'm too tired to do a big write-up thing and I know I never will otherwise:

( CON STUFF and then some health stuff )

Okay, so I spent a good 10 hours or so making this presentation and I gave it today and it went okay. It didn't really fill the time slot but people seemed to enjoy it and it was quirky enough. And I am so ridiculously proud of it that I kind of wanna share, so I'm gonna. :|b

( EMBEDDED THING IS UNDER THIS HERE CUT )

Not much to say today. Let's get right to it!

( 10 Days Meme - Day 9 )

BONUS: Let's do a different meme!

SHAMELESSLY STOLEN FROM missnoface !

Ask me about any one of my roleplay characters (presently in a game or otherwise), and I will pick one (or all, or two, or as many as I want) of the following to tell you:

(a) three facts about them from my personal headcanon.
(b) a reason they're amazing.
(c) five things that I'd like to see happen to them.
(d) three people that I might ship that character with and why.

HEY GUYS remember that emo journal yesterday?

FORGET IT. I AM NOW A HAPPY becaaause I turned in all the stuff I needed for studying abroad next year~!

[INSERT HAPPY DANCE OF SOME SORT HERE]

Which also means about 50% of my stress is GONE. I still have to wait until January to hear about being accepted. Honestly, accepted or not, I'm happy to know I made the effort. I figure I'll be living in Japan at some point anyway, whether I get a permanent job as a translator there or just work a few years as an ALT and/or with the JET program. But if I am accepted, that would be awesome because FUCK YEAH FOREIGN COUNTRY.

Plus, the program costs aren't much more than the costs of attending UW right now. Since it's a direct exchange, tuition at the home university covers tuition there. And since I'm covered by financial aid, not much to worry about! (Unless my aid changes next year sob.) My main issue will probably be getting approved for a student visa and all that lovely stuff, BUT those are hurdles I'll meet as I get to them! And then a new journal tag was born. Right now, it's apply-for-a-billion-scholarships time!

Oh wait, I lied, right now it's MEME TIME. Also I wish I could list more than 5 people because I such a dork when it comes to gushing over how much I love everybodyyyy. IF YOU ARE ON MY F-LIST YOU ARE ON THIS LIST IN SPIRIT. Even if we just met! Because everyone is awesome. <3

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY AMERICAN BUDDIES~

Everyone else... er, Happy Thursday. WANT SOME TURKEY?

Washington is all messed up guys, someone broke the weather. We got 5 inches of snow the past few days. FIVE INCHES. BEFORE THANKSGIVING. By contrast, last year it didn't even snow once. Definitely an El Niña this year. Still, I'm not complaining! They closed the campus Tuesday and Wednesday, so it's like break was even longer than usual! 

Man, this week has been crazy. I have to read half of a novel, do a presentation on the first few chapters of another novel, write an essay about, oh hey, another novel, and then finish all the paper work and forms for study abroad next year. @w@ And then I still have a few other readings for Japanese History and homework for Japanese class. I should probably hiatus from some things soon.

I'm not too worried about stuff though! Let's stay positive and have a meme!

( HERE BE A MEME )

Too lazy to make a huge entry.

Halloween sucked and I spent half of it on a bus. Got better once I was home though. I didn't wear a costume.

Officially came out to mom on Halloween. Wasn't a big deal. She'll probably tell my dad at some point. 

Gonna try and do Nanomango. I almost never stick through with this kind of stuff. The only one I ever finished was Haikuwrimo on deviantART. That was years ago.

I should be in bed but my suite mates are being noisy.

There's too much stuff to do, too much stuff I want to do, but not enough time to do it these days.

And now, some videos. ENJOY.

THE END.

People were complaining that they looked ugly.

So I used my powers of making everything I draw cute and this is what came out.

D'awwwwwww. The probability of a pink starter is low but I don't care. I bet it evolves into an elephant or something. IDK.

The end.
