Boyfriend withdrawal leads to manga reading :P
Soooooooo Sooooo So long since I have read manga with a passion, other than reading Naruto and Bleach every week.... but that hardly counts. I think it has been at least 3 months since I finished 6 chapters or more consecutively. I reminisce on the days when I would read manga all day, eating bad food and making awful and embarrassing noises when super cute manga boys say cute things to cute girls. You know... the gurgling giggle, and the almost snorts.... The sounds are so embarrassing that I don't read manga in front of other people usually.
Anywho, I'm digressing from what I really was thinking about. Since I have been having a longer than usual stint with a boyfriend, shoujo romance manga has been on the back burner. I can see how this makes sense as a trend but it makes reading manga now after so long all the more painful. I don't know about you but when I read a manga romance.... I feel pain. Not an excruciating pain. A beautiful pain. A pain that is sort of heart wrenching and seems sort of shallow. My brain attempts to tell me that I'm being superficial and dramatic. But I love and hate that feeling. It sends me into a spiral of emotion.
I don't think any of this would be possible now in my life if I wasn't living away from my boyfriend for the last few months. If I was with him..... there probably would be no ridiculous emotional reaction to manga because I have him. My boyfriend makes me feels as emotional as any manga and then it goes deeper and further than there. Love in real life is not really comparable to the stories.
I think this means I'm growing up.
wish me luck!

College is Anti Manga
so.... going to college has made it nearly impossible for me to read the level of manga that I am use to. I think I'm going through withdrawal. I have nearly cut myself off entirely from my addiction. I can't read anything to length because I know I will get cranky when I have to go to class instead of reading.
Maybe over christmas i can read manga day and night. Maybe.

I'm so excited about my summer of anime, I'm hoping to make many friends.
I will be handing out free colouring pages at the cons.

Manga Entries 777 XD
I just thought that number was exciting.
In the tarot 7 is the Chariot... it has to do with mastery and keeping things on track. If you don't keep everything together with this card you won't go anywhere. However if you get everything to function and serve you then you are on the way to mastering something.
So I'm thinking and feeling this mean that I could be on my way to being a manga master?
What do you think?
Interesting.

Anime North *meeooow*
So, it's official, I'm gonna be Hinata at Anime North this year.
I'm going to get colour contacts on the weekend to make my costume amazing .... hopefully I will work hard on the rest of my costume too XD.
I'm so glad I can go to this convention again this year.
So many people to meet, so much stuff to buy, so few moments of non fun :D.
I really want to meet people from MAL at anime north... I wonder if I will. I'd like to meet a cute Narutard boy as a side note XD, but maybe I am just dreaming.
It's good to dream.
Goodnight.

5 126 chapters oops.....
Whoa so when did that happen?
I remember being at 3500 chapters... weird.
On a side note sort of related, I was about to print off my manga list to take to Anime North this year and give to people but.... it's 11 pages long, even double sided 6 pages is a lot to be giving people.
So I'm wondering what I will do instead?
*sigh* I just want people to be able to find me on MAL after the con.
XD
goodnight
