This is a personal blog, where I'll post... well, what I want.

[Insert Title Here]

(since I couldn't think of a good title)

So, I'm here for an update, since I haven't given one in a month or so.

I'm going to start with what's been on my mind lately - boys. While I'm still into Ninja (I'll get to that later), there are two new guys. One I'm going to call Barry (no, that is not his name) and the other I'm not really going to say much about him other than that he exists simply for the reason that I don't think much will actually happen.

About Barry, well, Idunno. I met him pretty early in the school year (he's in the anime club presidency and comes regularly). He's interested in a lot of deep anime and controversial topics, but he handles them pretty well (as in, he never insists that he is right and such. He just gives his opinion and leaves it there, and can be open to new information or ideas and yadda yadda). He is a lot different than Ninja in interests (other than, you know, anime in general), but can be similar in personality. The thing is... okay, well, I don't actually know him all that well. The stuff I just told you is stuff I've gleaned from being with him in anime club and the few one-on-one conversations we've had. The other thing is that, well, he's six and a half years older than me, and I'm not sure whether I should make that a big deal or not. Either way, I do plan on asking him on a date in a couple weeks or so, so I'll see how that one goes down.

And despite my attraction to Barry increasing and attention to Ninja decreasing, my loyalty still lies with Ninja. The fact of the matter is that I hardly know Barry, while I know Ninja pretty dang well. I should clarify that I feel like I know Barry fairly well, but I know I need to get to know him better before I make any sort of accurate assessment. Hence the date plan.

On other stuff, things have been both good and bad. I've never really related to the phrase "living for the weekend" until I hit college. Nothing really exciting happens for most of the weekend, I just go to school, go home (to my apartment), watch anime, do homework/housework, and that's about it. However, once Thursday night hits (anime club), things really start picking up, and my weekends end up being pretty enjoyable, since I can really hang out with high school friends, college friends, family, or just get some time to myself. It's really nice.

And that's... mostly it for now. Oh! And I went to a couple conventions near me (well, one I just kinda hung around outside with college friends, since I didn't actually have a ticket). They were both pretty fun (though the one I had a ticket to was a lot more fun). But, yeah.

I think that's it. I'm going to go and... work on homework, or take a nap, or something.

A Wild Update Appeared!

Since it's been two months (down to the exact day) since I last updated y'all, it's about time I do it again, don't you think?

First off, I've mentioned this in the descriptions of some of my wallpapers, but the reason why I haven't been on here as much is college. I've been living away from home for the past month, and while I love my roommates, I'm not super close with them and I may never become good friends with them (despite the fact that they all seem to be good friends with each other).

That isn't to say I haven't made friends here. I've become decent friends with the anime club president, and I've made a few other friends from anime club and from my Japanese class.

As for my major, well, officially I'm declared as English, but after a bunch of thought, I've decided to double major in English and History. Sure, I might in college longer than most, but I feel like it's the right thing to do and that it's what will make me happy.

As for the friends back home, we're still pretty close, but a lot of us have already left on LDS missions and there are a couple that are still leaving in the next couple of months, and I know I'm going to miss them. Still, in the process of everyone leaving, I've become a lot more close to a guy friend (whom I'll just call J-Dog) than I ever thought I'd be. He's probably the closest thing I have to a best friend at the moment.

In regards to Ninja, despite not seeing him (other than emails) for almost three months, I'm still deeply attached and in love with him. It comes and goes, but he's certainly the guy I love the most still (the only other candidate being J-Dog).

In other news, I dyed my hair a dark red, and I love it ^^ and I'm going to a nearby convention next week, so that's going to be a ton of fun.

Lastly, I'd like to mention this song, as it illustrates a lot of what I've been feeling lately. I'm on my own now. It seems a lot more colder, but a lot more wider. By opening up my life for more risks, I'm opening it up for greater reward, and so far, it does seem to be paying off.

Thoughts on Stuff... and an Update

I'll start with the thoughts on stuff first, then I'll update you on other basic things on a second page (so if you don't want to deal with deep/depressing fluff, you can just skip to the next page). I've been thinking on stuff during this ...

He's Gone, Got a Licence and Job

An update to you all -

So today Ninja goes on an LDS (or Mormon) mission. For those who don't know, that means for two years he will be serving in an area (his is in Japan) where he will serve the people there and help teach others about our gospel and beliefs. It also means that for two years, our means of communication with each other will be reduced about one email a week, as well as possibly an occasional letter or mailed package. Now while I know I'll miss him, I completely support him and am proud of his decision. I don't know what will happen to our friendship/relationship, whether it will stay strong or deteriorate, but I know whatever happens, it was meant to be.

In other news, exactly what the title says - I got my licence and a job! I've been looking for both for a while know. I've had my licence for about three weeks, and while I've gotten into a few stressful situations since then, it's not so bad. As for the job, well, I just got hired today. Yay~ I'll be doing factory work, making goggle parts out of plastic molds. I don't know when I'll start, but it'll be pretty soon (as in by the beginning of next week).

For anime, I finished both seasons of Vampire Knight and I just finished Macross Frontier (I'll probably have the review of that up by the end of tomorrow). Both were okay, but neither really stuck with me too much (despite what you may think about Vampire Knight). So I'll finish the spring anime that finished airing next.

Also, final bonus - Next season of Hetalia comes out tomorrow! I am so stoked! Ahhh!

The Postitives and Negatives of Being an Adult

A lil' update, since I haven't given y'all one since about a month ago.

It's interesting shifting my perspective from one of a minor child to one of an adult. It comes with some of its benefits, such as opening your own bank account, and with its negatives, like having to do your own laundry =.= One thing I still need to do before I can proudly call myself an independent adult though, is that I need to get my driver's licence. Yeah, I'm a slacker.

The 2015 Sketch Challenge is going okay, I'm still pretty behind, though I do plan on catching up... soon...

Last Thursday was my school's Solo and Ensemble Festival. I think I did pretty well on my trombone solo, and expect to go onto region, but I know I could've done better if I had practiced more. Also, Region Jazz Festival is this Wednesday.

As for my emotions overall, I'm having my ups and downs. There are days in which I'm really frustrated, and days in which I'm really happy. It's thanks to you guys, though, that I'm pushing forward and sticking to the things I need to even though they may be crappy sometimes ^^ Thanks for all your guys' support!
