I'm so conceited I'm going to talk about my own life right now. They're just scraps and bits that kind of come to mind, nothing important.

So for the past, I don't know, half year-ish or so I've been looking at poetry at dA. And I've discovered a love for something I consider raw poetry. If you've ever read anything by ~livingcomforteagle, then that's the kind of thing I mean. And if you combine that with a running theme, that's really impressive too.

What does this all mean? I might be submitting some of my terrible poetry sometime. I started on some things a while, while ago (think December), but one got deleted so I had to start over and I don't have the same spark and it doesn't have the same feel as when I first wrote it, so I think I'll just drop it (which is a shame, really).

I might also put a sketch dump or something up. It would probably have a bunch of also really old stuff, like things before my style shift (which feels like a while for me). I've been drawing more over this past week compared to the rest of the school year, and experimenting a little with paneling for comics, so I might be... somewhat active? Probably not.

We've only got two more days of finals left, and man, I am so ready for summer. While it doesn't feel like I'm going to be leaving these classes and never returning to them, my mind is totally on the fritz. Everything I think about is not working and just chilling, reading a whole bunch of fanfiction or watching a whole bunch of an anime or TV show, just because I will finally have the time.

Only not. My summer's swamped with running camp, Vacation Bible School volunteering, Workcamp, Library Summer Desk volunteering, band camp, and AP packets for next year. I'm already seeing this summer as a busy couple weeks of school- just get it over with. Only there won't be any reprieve come September- my major realization this year (besides the fact that I totally wasted my childhood with not knowing how good I had it) was that no matter how much life sucked and you wanted to fling yourself off a cliff due to your workload, next year is going to be even worse.

I've been flitting around with old stuff, old interests. We can call it a Renaissance or something. Anyway, this mostly means that I reread all of the Dr. McNinja comics. If you haven't read them, get to it. Rereading all of it at one time actually allowed me to connect plot lines and jokes, especially with this last storyline, the first out of ten-ish that I actually followed on the Mon-Wed-Fri schedule.

It also reminded me of my burning love for Dark Smoke Puncher. I can't help it- I love the kid. The fact that he's in the car with McNinja right now makes me so excited, and I hope he's an intricate part of this storyline.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for anything? Movies, books, fanfiction, webcomics, mangas, anime, anything at all? If I haven't heard of it, it'd be pretty cool to check it out, and if not, then at least we can have a decent discussion (but if you recommend Twilight to me I will probably disembowel you. And then redirect you to a killer site that recaps why it is so wrong).

I saw Star Trek. That was really cool. I'm interested in seeing Transformers 2, but I'm not sure if I have the initiative to actually pursue it. I really wanted to see Haunting in Connecticut back when it first came out, but I didn't have enough time. I love Kyle Gallner.

Supernatural season finale was killer. I was going to say more, but ~Kschu hasn't seen it yet. When it comes out, we should totally have a Supernatural marathon and just watch it for how-many hours straight (on a side note, I'm really into the idea of film festivals recently. Obviously you can't tell).

Smallville's stunk. I was really hoping that Kyle Gallner was going to you know, actually have a chance to act like Bart in the years since he hasn't played the kid, but no. Only one remotely Bart-sounding line from him, and even that was forced. I hate script writers. Especially when Jimmy, Jimmy the kid who had all of his dreams come true in this episode, gets killed. I actually had sympathy for you man, I actually cared about Davies, and then he goes and stabs me and Jimmy in the back. Oh, at least they have littlebrother!Jimmy to act as the photographer once he grows up.

Last thing, I promise. So I've got two sisters, and both have now graduated high school. The younger of the two just graduated today, and I don't know how to feel about it. There's this overwhelming happiness that she'll be out of my life, but at the same time, it's depressing. Because I really like her and the rest of the kids in her class. Meanwhile, my other sister doesn't really talk to me that much, seeing as she's always at college or, in the case of this entire summer, at a Japanese language-intensive camp. But when she does talk to me, it always makes me feel bad, because she's really nice about everything, when she really doesn't need to be, and I feel like I'm always being selfish around her with possessions and stuff. She was here for a day for other sister's graduation, but she just left again. And there's this humongous weight on my chest or something.

Ugh, enough introspection. Return to your lives and I'll return to reading Allan and Supernatural fanfictions.
