Finally

Things are looking up.

Well, sort of. I am... not entirely okay, but I'm hardly one to rant about it to a handful of barely interested followers.

I started university. Courses are interesting, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to keep up with my good marks. Tezca's found a place that we could stay in for the year, so we'll probably split the rent.

My family was not that happy with this plan of me getting away from them, but they really can't say much about it. There was some trash talk thrown around about my choice of romantic partners, but it's not like Tezca will care about what some dumb fucks call her.

My DS has gone missing, and I doubt I'll ever find it again. That is... not good, but bearable. Could be worse.

Blahblahblah, don't have much else to report, but some asshole had marked down Operator Symbols at a public school nearby. I actually spent some time examining them. Reading and watching all of this ensured that my skin is now very capable of crawling.

Isn't paranoia fun? And completely, utterly stupid?

Things of Note

I haven't been posting much. Much of that has been due to hanging out with Tezca for the whole day, and then meeting up with her again on Sunday. While I am quite sure only three of you really want to hear about my personal life, as I have only once seen a signpost that looked remotely like Slendy, there is not much else to report.

Sorry to disappoint~

We talked about Marble Hornets, whether or not I should get into EMH despite the chance of being utterly confused... and the blogs. She thought Core Theory was a bunch of idealistic crap that read like a fantasy book. I would like to add that it reads like a rather plausible and well-written fantasy, and the twists in White Elephants were pretty awesome, so our complaints differ.

We also debated Operator Symbol usage in between sweet nothings and myth swaps. I'm sure anyone listening in on the conversation would have been worried about our sanity, as we were getting weird looks the whole time. Might have just been my hair, though.

Regardless, it was fun. I have not lost time nor been teleporting around the place and I managed to get out of the house for two days with no trouble. All in all, it went quite well.

Declaration of Intent

Alright. Welcome and thank you to my shiny new followers, all three of you. Whether you are insane, amazingly dedicated writers or telling the truth, it's nice to know I have so many people reading this.

That said - please don't give me too many "you're in too deep, get out" comments because they will eventually become monotonous. Instead, let's play a game.

I keep reading and watching, and nothing happens. I comment on the things I find stupid in the mythos, and hopefully do not draw too many aforementioned remarks about my doom.

I keep reading and watching and delve too deep. I issue an apology, and allow everyone involved to call me an idiotic fucktard who needs her eyes gouged out and her girlfriend slaughtered for infecting her. Calling me a fucktard is a rare honour, you know.

Yes, I'm making light of this. No, I won't stop. I see why Tezca's so interested though, with the tree symbolism and callbacks to German and Egyptian myths. Gives me some ideas, as it were.

Yeah, I Was Busy

Um. Part of it was Pokemon Red, though I did grind and beat Falkner in my Nuzlocke - I'm doing pretty well right now.
Bakuphoon - M, Level 16
Impa - F, Level 15
Norima - F, Level 14
Mornir - M, Level 14
Ymir - M, Level 15
Sly - M, Level 13

But, uh, another reason for my silence was that I've been kind of busy being social. I went to the Harry Potter premiere - not at midnight but still, the first day. And it was awesome. And I met this really nice girl there. Like, absurdly nice and geeky and willing to discuss Pokemon challenges and how at the end of the third movie you could wait to see if Harry would say "Nox" at the end of the credits....

You get the gist of it. She likes mythology too! Mostly Scandinavian and fairytale sort of thing - not the modern versions but the Grimm stuff. Black forests and death and cannibalism everywhere. 

So yeah, traded numbers, MSN - we chat a lot. She's a big fan of symbols and different interpretations of them. Like those Japanese and Chinese characters apparently can mean five different things depending on context or minor variations as you write them... and other stuff too, like how snakes are deceitful in western culture but a symbol of guardianship in the east. We're going to meet up next weekend again.
