- Song Of The Day - "My love is forever,
still the same as it was back then when I first met you.
Even if the seasons change,
the color of my love will never fade.
I'm just about tired of
love manuals and horoscopes.
Also, I'm a little weary
of the changing appearances of people around me.
I marked in my diary
the day of our encounter. Mysterious, isn't it?
Is it because of summer's love magic
that I find myself this captivated?"
- Deatta Koro no Youni, Rie Takahashi (Every Last Thing cover)
- How I Got Started On Anime - "It was so sudden. There's always something wonderful happening everyday."
After watching Pokémon and other animated shows all of my childhood I pretty much abandoned the medium altogether pretty early on because of my family's taste in TV and movies. At the age of ten my favourite movie was Good Will Hunting and I gave in to the misconception that anime is childish.
In the summer of 2013, I visited my family in Texas. My cousin, who I'm close to, introduced me to her best friend. I hit it off really well with him and the three of us began watching Ouran Host Club, which I now consider my 'first' anime. To keep in contact with them, I took up watching anime with them via Skype calls, starting with Shingeki no Kyojin and EVA. Amazed by both the depth in artwork and storytelling of these two titles, I decided to watch one on my own: Clannad.
Some tears later, here I am now: hopelessly captured by the many colours and stories of anime.

- About Me - "I don't want to say: I was happy at that time.
I would say: I was happy at that time too, just like I am now."
☆ I share a birthday with Kurisu Makise. ☆I'm a university graduate that studied computer science and biology. ☆My personality type is INFP ☆I used to be big FPS player, but really all that I still play on console are sports games. ☆I used to be a moderator on the EA UK FIFA Forum, but it is a rarity I dust off my console. ☆My favourite games are FIFA, Overwatch, League of Legends, Halo, Pokémon, and SSBM. ☆I play soccer regularly and my favourite team is Manchester United. ☆I also used to run XC and play basketball competitively in HS. My favourite team is the Dallas Mavericks. ☆I listen to just about anything English except for metal/screamo, as well as Japanese/Korean music. ☆I love Taylor Swift and oldies (80's and 90's pop/rock). ☆I love movies, but, lately, I don't watch as many as I feel like the quality is going downhill (Letterboxd). ☆Favourites include Good Will Hunting, 50/50, Pretty Woman, The Departed, Four Weddings and a Funeral. ☆My taste in TV is greatly influenced by my parents: Three's Company, House, Friends, and Grey's Anatomy. ☆I read far too fast and I burn through books at an unsustainable rate financially. ☆My favourite books include: The Art of Racing in the Rain, Kite Runner, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, The Name of the Wind, An Abundance of Katherines, Lioness Quartet, Millenium Trilogy, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Hamlet, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, The Alchemist, Pride and Prejudice, and The Great Gatsby. ☆I love to draw and paint. I failed art in grade three and was forced to stay after-school to trace lines and do colouring pages to work on my fine motor skills. It still is kind of a funny and embarrassing story. ☆Here's an album of some of my better recent drawings.

- My Rating Scale - “The world appears wonderful in the eyes of wonderful people.”
9+: Exceptional 8: Very good (this is very enjoyable and may include some favourites) 7: Good (has some standout characteristics, even if it doesn't reach higher) 6: Above average (has faults in it that hold it back from being good, for example writing or pacing) 5: Average (meets expectations for watching, i.e. very standard show) 4: Below average (bad watchable - may have *head in hands* inducing qualities and lead to blindness) 3: Bad (results in adverse feelings and would not recommend to anyone, I may have even dropped the show) 2: Very bad (even worse) 1: No words needed (the worst)
I hope that work is going well and would keep going well, even if it's stressful so far. How is the leg by the way?
For me, I've mostly been going back and forth between home and visiting relatives which is pretty annoying, but I arrived back home just last night. I spend most of my time playing Bandori since I plan on getting top 100 during one of the events in a couple months. Bandori just released officially yesterday and I have a lot of work to do. Besides that, I'm just handling things as they come. Mostly stress free here.
Yes! The show had a set of really beautiful endings but of course the last one is my favorite, it just fits the show too much. And glad to see you liked it, I've seen some users here hating on it, which i mostly blame the full length episode format. But as a source reader it was great to see my favorite scenes adapted. Do you read or plan to read the manga?
awww shiet you showing me that nico pic reminds me, SIF released cards for muse and Aqours members when they were kids and KID NICO IS SO FUCKING CUTE AHHHHHHH
back when our favorite dumpster bin was just a wee lil garbage can ;w;
Howdy! Turns out I'm still just as bad for logging on and replying late. Same old same old. I'm on break this week though, so maybe I'll finally sit down and watch something.
Regarding school, I just told myself, "fuck it," and decided to pursue computer science. I'm gonna start taking the ICS classes next semester. I should be on track to finish within the 4 years, I hope? After hearing how research is and whatnot, I doubt it's for me. I don't think I can see myself working in a lab for hours and months doing the same thing every day. I know it's different when you're interested and passionate about what you're doing, but I still don't see myself doing that. I heard my professor talk about her lab experience and talked to a few classmates who had experience from before. It's similar in the sense of doing the same thing every day. I'm outtie on that, yo. However, tackling the beast of comp sci is an entirely different thing, lmao. I need to figure out what divsion I want to see myself going into now. I'm not sure if I want IT or whatnot. What does IT specifically entail? I'm hoping I can figure it out soon, but I'm not in as much as a rush for this since now I know the general field.. I'm not sure if I'll entirely enjoy this route, but it's damn sure what I'm set on for now.
On a side note, my schedule isn't working out entirely next semester.. :/ I need to choose between a chemistry lab or my Japanese class, and I think I'm going to end up choosing the chemistry lab. Both are required for me to get my degree, but I think I'd be in an easier situation just taking a gap semester of Japanese rather than chemistry. I talked to my Japanese teacher about it and she also said I should be fine since my background with Japanese and my level of Japanese being good. Just got to hope I don't forget entirely..
Those were good readings, honestly. I want something slow and easy to get back into. Of course, also my cup of tea, so slice of life. I'll be on the lookout to watch something this week. How have you been with your injury and whatnot? How's that internship going so far? It was my birthday on the 18th, and I got a "new" car. It's a 2000 Nissan Altima, but very low mileage. So it should last me long enough. I'm only 19. I think we met when I was only maybe ~16? I don't even remember how old I was in 2014, lmao. 15, I think? Time flies...
