I'm back.

If anyone has had anything major going on in the last three days, I'm really sorry I wasn't around to comment on it. I've been in Rocky Mountain House Alberta, at a wedding, without internets. A 12 hour drive later, I am now back in North Vancouver, where there IS INTERNETS. SWEET SWEET INTERNETS.

I will do my best to catch up on what the deal is with everybody. Maybe if you feel like it give me a one or two sentence update? I'd like to know what's been going on and give everyone some love without having to dig through four day's worth of posts 'cuz i'm lazy and my eyes hurt from so much driving ^^;;;. I've missed everybody!!!<3<3<3

(Wedding report later... dramaz.)

Location: HOME. THANK GOD.

I left the house at 2:30 pm today and did not return (at least, not without friends and to actually shut down for the evening) until after 3 a.m.

It's now edging towards 5, and I am awake. Wide awake.

Tomorrow: I will try and work on some Taka and Dee sex sequences I have been contemplating. How is everyone else doing?

The past few days, ever since seeing a post in Mercy's lj linking to Pulitzer prize winning photography about a little boy losing his fight with cancer... I have been feeling not so good. And then reading the news about Sarah (of the Sarah-day post a while back) in fairemma's lj... well, I am upset and confused.

I don't really know what to say. Pain and sadness are strange in that they are so personal, and so encompassing all at once. I never thought my heart could be in so many places at the same time. And it's funny, because it hurts, but there really isn't anything I can do for anybody.

So, I will listen to Johnny Cash and daydream about safe and beautiful places, for everyone, and post these pictures of Dee because somehow, life goes on. I will never know how.

I have been feeling less than stellar the past few days, and I can't quite shake the blahs. School is winding down and I am getting anxious about what the hell is to become of me and all my various unfinished projects in the next two weeks, and beyond that, what I'm going to do with myself all summer. I apologize if I have not been as vocal as usual... I am very, very preoccupied.<3

BUT. But. That is not the point of this post. If anyone is low on their cute quota for the day, I order you to visit this blog immediately. Be prepared though, it is the killer kind of cute. Watch that first video and you will agree. (From beyond the grave, because you will be dead of the cute. Like I am right now. Oooooo.)

Yes, that's right, I'm blogging about my life. What the heck? Who knew it would come to this.

Last night I did a whirlwind tour of Vancouver with two friends. The adventure had us visiting just about every neighborhood this city has to offer. (Except mine. Shunned. Ha.) But it was full-on awesome. And filled with good eats. (And some homework, believe it or not.) A few quick snapshots, if you like... ( Clicky clicky. )

I give up. I can’t win. Someone is always better at life than I am. Everyone whines sometimes. I always just choose the wrong person to whine to. Sorry.

In other news, my roommate (the opera singer) is playing super nintendo for the first time. She keeps screaming obscenities, and then bursting into high notes. It’s pretty funny.

If I am a bit quiet for the next few days, it's because I am attempting to write a 4000 word essay about The Seven Samurai. I'm trying to tailor my thesis so I can talk about heroes and antiheroes, and discuss contemporary ideas of these two things. Really the whole point is to ramble about how Kurosawa made a brilliant film that holds up even today. The characters are fantastic, it's beautiful to look at, there's action, and there's witty banter! (Not to mention the Toshiro Mifune factor. Mmm... Toshiro Mifune.) What more could you ask for?

I'm just concerned because I don't know how much is supposed to fit in 4000 words, and I'm afraid I'm going to stray too far from my original intentions. Or too far from the movie I'm supposed to be discussing.

Did I mention I'm really bad at writing essays? 'Cause I am. Anyway, any words of wisdom are appreciated. I will live again around Wednesday-ish. (It's funny, I am saying that I will be quiet, but I will probably spend a whole bunch of time procrastinating on the computer/lj. Me = stupid. ha ha.)

It's one of those run down weeks. I can't compel myself to do anything, I'm feeling really anti-social, and I'm worrying intensely about things that are miles away.

But a belated Happy Valentine's Day to the f-list. You guys are grandness<3<3<3

Today I at least managed to accomplish something. I've had this cardigan for a million years that I've never, ever worn, because it fit way too big. And I'm not a big cardigan fan to begin with. But today I chopped the sleeves off, hemmed them, and took it in about 4 inches. And now I will wear it. Tomorrow!

Taka benefited from my chopping as well, getting a new sweater out of the deal. ( Boys can wear flowers (with a mostly-nude appearance by Dee) )

To all of my lovely flist, my apologies. I have been sick and (mostly) away from my house+computer+camera+boys+comfortable bed DX this week, and on top of it I'm looking after my little brother while the parental-types are galavanting in foreign countries.

One of my little brother's teachers seems to be a feminist who thinks it's more appropriate to use feminine pronouns for everyone on a personality quiz instead of something gender neutral, and I feel compelled to ask her why... I just don't want to cause issues for the bro. I am infinitely curious how you justify "she, herself," as being equal vs. "they, themselves, or s/he, him/herself." Maybe it's just because I'm all about the gender neutrality in most aspects of life, but it genuinely irks me that she'd just flip the original exclusionary "he" into a new and equally exclusionary "she"... Baffled, in fact. If I were a parent, I'd want a word with her. But I rant.

Tomorrow: Gin's new faceup, complete with freckles, news on the Taka front, and hopefully a good night's sleep in my own bed. Perhaps even some Saph spam, since a package from hunted made it today. Thank you, Mid!<3

Dee is a little bit sad that he and Taka are on a break (of undetermined length). But he made himself feel better by pretending to be someone else for the afternoon. I absolutely love the colour of this wig, even if I don't really have an excuse for it.
