Hello. In my opinion, I have a lot of negative and annoying aspects, but I wouldn't call myself a bad person.
I feel like I'm still growing, so I totally understand if I'm not your cup of tea at the moment
or if I become way too over-steeped for you over time.
Heck, I understand if you never drink tea.
I think I'm finally on the path I was trying to get on. It'll be a slow journey, but I see the progress, I have the routine, and I've decided to stop putting everyone else before me so I can work on what I want to work on. I'm not planning my life around what everyone else needs only to have the same people wonder why I'm not where I want to be. There will be times here and there where I still put others first at the sacrifice of my time, but those will only be for the things I really want to do or already agreed to last year. For the most part though, this year, I'll be reclaiming my time. I'm already very happy about how this has been going.
Hopefully you're all doing well!

My Lists- Sorry for the inconvenience if you're trying to recommend things or something, but my lists are actually incomplete! I'll explain why.
For Anime:
1. I own many VHS tapes/DVDs that I haven't watched yet. They're not in my PTW/On Hold. I usually add as I watch them. I might go through and add them all one day.;;
2. I have a habit of sampling: watching the first episode (sometimes only half)/chapters but not adding it. Nowadays, if I do this I try to comment in the first episode discussion.
3. My dumbass started bookmarking things in a "For Later Review" folder instead of just putting it on my PTWatch or PTRead. OTL I guess there IS a difference though. Though admittedly, I might just keep an anime in that bookmark list even after review when it should just be in my PTW.
4. There are anime I watched as a child but haven't put on my list (Beyblade, Medarot, etc.) I'm just leaving them alone for now. My On Hold's already out of control.;;
For Manga:
1. Honestly, I just don't keep my manga list up to date. I think I mostly add things to my bakaupdates lists, and even that list is not complete or up to date.
2. Much like my anime list, I haven't actually added everything from my physical manga collection onto my list.
3. Some manga didn't have entries in the database when I read them.
I'm sorry.
Ratings- If it's rated above 5/10, then I probably considered it at least okay. 5/10 is teetering on blah and okay. Anything from 4/10 to 2/10 means I either didn't care, I actually thought it was bad, or I just had no strong feelings about the anime. The things rated 1/10 are actually the things I have some bad things to say about.
Also, the best way to describe my ratings is to say that they are tiered. For example, it's not that I dislike things in 4/10 and might not even think they're that "bad". It's just that I might not feel it's on the same level as everything above it.
Watching- Mostly seasonals. I do sometimes rate my seasonals as compared to each other as opposed to a rating for the long run. That's not my intention and it's a bad habit. I usually plan to fix it later.
Completed- These are things I know for sure I have completed and might have even had to rewatch from the start just to make sure.
On Hold- Here's my former problem child. I set everything on my On Hold list to 0 episodes watched as of 2/4/2018. I had previously been guessing the amount of episodes I had seen and taking ten or twenty episodes off the count I thought I had seen. Or I might have watched every episode of a show while it aired in the U.S. but I took off like more than half just because I just have no idea if they even aired the whole show or took out a few episodes. It's been a really stupid system because I intended to re-watch all those series from start to finish even if I was pretty sure I watched most/all of the episodes anyway. If that's the case, just set it all at zero, right?
There were also some shows where I knew exactly how many episodes I had watched but I had watched them all out of order (watched some at a friend's, watched some at an anime club while joining late and therefore was starting to watch at a halfway point in the series, bought volumes 2, 4, and 5 of an anime DVD set but nothing else, they had rerun episodes on TV all out of order, missed some episodes when it was on TV, etc). Most I just decided to watch from the start again and just now set to zero. Or I knew exactly how many episodes I watched but forgot everything so I'm just starting all over again.
So then there are the things that are legitimately on hold until further notice (shows that were delayed, gained more episodes that I currently don't want to deal with, etc.)
Also, some of these are shows I will probably never finish/rewatch the way I want to but I pretend I actually will. They're there to show that I'm at least familiar with them and so folks don't rec them to me because I already have plans for them.
My On Hold is complicated. Ask questions for any clarification.
Dropped- Stuff I will never catch up with in my lifetime and I know it. That being said, it's probably best to set them as dropped for now. I can't even remember what was what. If I ever do get to them in my lifetime, I will probably watch from the start. I have nothing against these shows, mind you. Otherwise, I don't drop anything.
Manga List Note- Yeah, I'm so sorry, but a lot of my manga list is incorrect. There are a lot of manga I'm reading, have completed, or plan to read that's just not on there. It's just that there are so many that it's a bit of an overwhelming undertaking.
Additionally, most chapter and volume counts aren't updated at all from what I'm noticing. I think for some of these, I was content to just add it just to remember to keep reading it, but I know I've read more than what I say I've read of it. And then for some, figuring out which chapter I left off on means going to my bookcases, rearranging stuff to get to the volumes, then seeing which actual chapter was the last I read. I am so sorry. It's a lot. I haven't really had the time or patience to do it. So sorry, but yeah, my manga list is probably not a good way to gauge much of anything.;; It's pretty much just for me to understand and not really anyone else.
