And some nights it don't come easy // and some nights it don't come hard

- Still job hunting! Ahh, why is this so hard.

- Also watching Wakfu! Which starts off rather disjointed and slow (I blame the subs) but picks up around episode 4 or so. It's probably the only cartoon successfully based on an MMORPG. The animation style is smooth, the episodes humourous (I was a little worried because ...french humour...) and the characters interesting! Like I know people go "this princess is kickass!! and different!" but Amalie was a princess who, well, acted like a princess! She whined, she sulked, but she pulled her weight around when she needs to! While still being a bratty princess! And it's interesting to see an old guy in the party for a cartoon show. Yugo, as the main character doesn't display the normal protagonist traits either (he's still a child! he's not reckless! he helps but still knows when someone's being stupid!). All in all, I'm enjoying it.

- Trying to get back into writing again. Maybe sign up for some challenges.

- Maybe rewatch Star Trek some more. I've been rereading Observations since a pdf came out for it and it's amazing how that fic breaks my heart. My first read had me in tears, the second one not so much, but my heart aches when I go over it. I love how she entwines it with songs and quotes from all over, as if to blend the future with our past. Also, she made bad romance seem sexy.

- It's weird, filling up the empty spaces where my brother was. I guess this is how he felt when I left.

- I enjoy the Sherlock section on tumblr. I come up with a lot of interesting information, compared to when I check the LJ comm. I even found a blog for a girl who claims to be a sociopath and her insights in the differences between a "normal" person and herself.

- RP is good to me! My slump with Dean has left and I scored some gorgeous threads, Kirk seems to be doing okay, I'm easing into Sherlock's voice, etc etc. Even Sabra seems to be coming along slowly. I wonder if it's worth looking into a smaller RP though to try out different things.

- Meatloaf I heart you, but please get out of my head some time.

- I love youtube playlists. Sometimes, for fandoms I'm into, I just make a playlist and dump whatever videos I like in them. Does anyone use that or do people just click Favourites all the time?

- Sometimes, I think my life holds very little meaning. Because I don't really do or say much outside my current interests. But honestly, I'm good with the way I am.

. . . oh damn it, why did I click on that video. IT WILL NEVER LEAVE MY HEAD.

I love Meatloaf, I really do. But! His songs are addictive.

Also, if you still have a link to that blog about sherlock and sociopathy, link me.

Man, I'm really surprised the Wakfu animation got off the ground. I mean I watched the original trailers for it a few years ago, but given how long the MMO's been taking, I didn't think either projects were actually getting anywhere until I saw a trailer for the game the other day. |D

Re: youtube playlists - I use playists whenever possible, but for kind of general things like "adorable animals" and "opening/ending themes of cartoons from my childhood" (which I swear some of the staff goes through to delete the videos :T).

it's ten seconds in and already i'm making hearts - this is a good sign. ♥_♥

I do wish the 200 video limit would get lifted soon though. :(

I've never watched anything in French before. The voice acting is pretty good! --But mostly yeah, OH SO PRETTY. And the depiction of the various magic/skills/whatevers is cool.

Yeah, I found out when I was going around adding every video related to shows I watched as a kid to my playlist, which were a lot. That's the only time I've ever had that problem though, since they're probably not really expecting people to have so many videos in the one playlist.
