But first! I have a lot of stuff to upload (pictures and poems! o: ) so. I'M NOT DEAD ANYMORE, I'm going to go upload things RIGHT NOW. Honest.

Now the fun part?????

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs!

1. AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION (or not) I've decided that I want to get a double major in Linguistics and East Asian Studies, then go on to get my translation certificate in Japanese. And possibly complete my masters in one of my above subjects. What kinds of jobs will these get me? WHO KNOWS! But I have a thing for languages, and I appear to be somewhat good at them, so I... I dunno, my dream job would be translation, whether it's for the government, translating novels (!!) or manga (rofl) or anime scripts, or even just something like a newspaper or magazine or website. Probably won't pay well, but w/e, I'm alright with living a mediocre life.

2. One of the reasons I try to steer clear from alcohol is because I'm afraid that I'll love it, and continue to need to do it. I have a history of forming unhealthy addictions to stupid shit (sort of rofl) so even if it's not physically addictive (pot.....) I'm afraid I could still wind up "addicted" and that's something that I want to stay out of.

Also, I have a huge fear of (being caught doing) illegal things. If only alcohol was illegal, it would be much easier to stay away from.

3. I'm an emotional person. TO COUNTERACT THIS, I try not to openly emote unless it's something like happiness/justified anger, etc. Not having control over my negative emotions has cost me friendships in the past, so now I try to avoid expressing them. If you're one of the (un)lucky few who gets stuck with me yapping about them at you, it probably means that I not only trust you a lot, but that I'm secure*~ in our friendship. Or smth.

It also helps that at the end of the day, I'm incredibly neutral towards most things/experiences. So it's easier to push away negative responses. Letting things get bottled up is alright: it's easier and better (for me) to lose control all at once when I'm by myself.

4. I'm a terrible liar. :c Especially when it comes to writing - I hate personal essays in English because I cannot make up an experience. I have to write truthfully. Which makes it hard and I end up revealing personal things that I don't necessarily want to but I just cannot lie.

5. I am a terribly lazy person. Lately I've been trying to counteract this with exercise: I exercise for about thirty minutes a day, provided my parents aren't home / I don't have plans that interfere with that / I'm not at someone else's house. The fact that I'm super self conscious about my weight / body (despite being a decent weight for my height) helps a lot.

6. I whine about stuff, but I never actually try to fix it. SO I'M WORKING ON FIXING THAT. Oh, the irony. XD

7. A horror anime is what sort of inspired me to try to live my life better. Sad? HELL YES. But better something than nothing.

8. I'm a bisexual vegetarian. Yes, I shave, no, I'm not taking any women's studies / sexuality courses at uni.

IF YOU WANT THIS, DO IT. /uploads shit.
