Long-ass post OF DOOM AND ANGST (hence the Resident Squeenix Angstypants icon)

I think I need a change of scene. And by that, I mean a COMPLETE change of scene - I need to live in a different place where I know no one and start from scratch.

This is not because I don't love everyone here in KC, and it's not even that I'm particularly unhappy with my life here at the moment, but I just feel like it's kind of stifling and that I don't really feel like I really have the freedom to mature here. Over in England I was out on my own, growing and changing by leaps and bounds and really discovering who I was, and then I got back to KC and all that kind of stagnated. And, to be honest, I know I'm really immature, and I would kinda like to change that, at least to a certain extent. I mean, there are times when I hear myself say something or see myself do something and immediately think, "Oh my God, way to act/sound like an 8-year-old." I'm 21, which places me squarely at the high end of the age range among the WC student staff (which ranges from 18 to 22 or 23), and yet I feel like I'm the youngest and have the least life experience - and when even the 18-year-old and the 20-year-old are more mature than you are at 21, you know you're in trouble.

Anyway, all angsting aside, I've found a new favorite manga. Mystical Prince Yoshida-kun rocks, in an OMG CUTE AND ADORABLE way, and I command all of you with any kind of cute tolerance to go check it out. Unless you hate puppies and kittens and baby seals and go out of your way to kick or harpoon them every time you see them in the street, you'll probably like it. And Yoshida-kun ROCKS - I want to be like him when I grow up.

Anyway, here's some memes from umechan:

Now to watch some Bleach (I finally found the first ep to download) and then some more Gilgamesh. :D

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Welp, I'm in the paper for the book club thing. This is a link to the online edition, which doesn't have the pictures, but I was surprised to see that my picture came out pretty well. (Even if I do look about 12.) And they even made me sound halfway smart! :D

On the other hand...

Well, at my stepdad's insistence watched Fiddler on the Roof this evening. Spent most of it wondering why the second oldest daughter (Hadl/Huddle/whatever) reminded me so much of Shannen Doherty. OMG PRUE DON'T HOOK UP WITH TEH COMMUNIST!!!1!

During the movie, I managed to finish my first knitted scarf, and started on another from a really nice mohair-esque acrylic. My finished scarf is a little uneven, but overall it's pretty good-looking. Also, my mom did two scarves this weekend to donate to the V-Day stock to sell. (So she officially rocks.)

I wish I'd had a chance today to watch Gilgamesh and/or Bleach and/or Gakuen Alice (I downloaded the first ep based on umechan's recommendations) and/or Great Detectives Poirot and Marple (of which I'm almost finished downloading the first four eps - I can't wait to see anime Hercule and Miss Marple!). Ah well, maybe tomorrow - I'm hoping to spend most of it knitting so that I can have another scarf done and we can sell them with the vagina chocolates to make some money at the V-Day table on Monday or Tuesday.

*yawn* I was up till 3 this morning, so I'm thinking I'll hit the hay a bit earlier tonight.
