update on my not-so-interesting life!
Mar. 6th, 2007 12:29 pmI'm not bored with LJ! I've been busy with work, friends, trips, video games, reading, etc. etc. Updating LJ at home is a bit of an ordeal because I can't make long posts for some odd reason. I can do it at work and making witty posts at work is a bit beyond me since the place sucks me dry sometimes. ;)
Anyhoo! I was also hit by a small truck last Saturday so I was out of commission for a few days as I recuperated. No broken bones, no head trauma, nothing except sore limbs, hellacious bruises and a better understanding that trucks and bikes don't mix. Considering my head slammed into the windshield when it hit me, I consider myself very lucky! I'm also am down to my sixth life. Hmmmm.
One thing I've been doing a lot lately is baking. I've made tons of different kinds of cakes and cookies and as soon as I get a bit of real time and patience, I'm going to make a pie completely from scratch. What kind of pie? Hm, not quite sure since I'm not actually all that fond of fruit pies.
After the funk I sank into after the Japanese proficiency exam, I'm finally starting to get back into the groove of studying. Yeah, I failed the third level, something I'm not too terribly surprised about. I've only been studying a year and I wanted to take the third level? Yeah, right! Worst thing though? I missed passed by only twenty-some points. Now there's a pity.
I've also been skiing and I went up to Nagano for a completely awesome weekend. Hm, been going to the gym before I got hit by the truck, and once my left leg is fully healed, I'll be back there. I hope. 0_0
I've discovered the AMAZING CHOCOLATE-COVERED BISCUIT KNOWN AS TIM-TAMS. They're from Australia (I think?) and they're like nirvana in one little chocolaty cookie. MMM.
Reading a LOT. Books, manga, fanfiction. It's been a reading time! Best of all? Some of my writer's block is finally fading away after nearly a half-year length. I'm working on a Tifa and Cloud piece for Kingdom Hearts II and I'm trying to finish that goddamn Sakura and Kakashi genfic. Lots and lots of unfinished Akito fic, lots and lots of new Gundam Wing fic. (OMG, YES. RELENA!) And maybe one or two Harry Potter stories though I seriously doubt it. I just... don't have the urge to write HP fic anymore though I still devour other writer's stories.
A friend is on the verge of finishing Okami, that gorgeous new game for the PS2, and I'm on the verge of borrowing it!
I'm going to get a DS from Japan instead of the US; it's region-free and just simply easier.
I've become somewhat interested in American Idol. Somebody help me!
Heroes is THE BOMB and Claire is just so effing awesome!
Um. I think that's all. There's a lot more, but I do believe that Demeter is getting some of her old schnanglings back! =) At this point in my life, I'm so content and happy and just pleased in general.
And the occasional angst fic to make me sniffle is just the cherry on the cake.
