was wondering why my tags on here are so cringy even though I don't post all that much, and it's because of all those imported entries from lj days lmao

hmmm

i'm doing some web design stuff and honestly, i had no confidence with code of any sort outside of basic html, but i think i'm starting to get the hang of it... after all this time. the processing paper i took in 1st year kind of scared me away from code. i did some coding for flash games briefly in second year and did some python stuff in maya to create 3d models. i also did a design branding paper where we had to make our own portfolios, that's pretty much my experience with coding. like, i tried to learn code but i didn't process it and it went over my head 90% of the time. the teachers were all "we're not going to give you the code, figure it out yourself" types but i ended up learning nothing. but I THINK now i'm starting to understand thanks to different resources. logically speaking, coding is all straightforward, but at the same time i didn't really understand it and i could never code without references for even the smallest thing so i had no confidence. anyway, coding is just one part of web design, gotta make sure it doesn't look like shit

Going through my manga collection and deciding which volumes I really want to keep and which I could do without is difficult... The BL section especially. Do I like it enough to keep? Am I going to reread it again, seriously? I can just find scans online if I want to read it again, can't I? I like this mangaka and it's their only work in English, should I keep it? Those kind of questions come up. I think I sectioned off a fair amount to sell. A lot of non-BL manga I own are multi-volume series and I only have a couple of volumes of so I'm planning on selling most of those. Natsume Yuujinchou, as much as I loved it, I haven't read in ages and the volumes I own are from the very start - a place I'm very unlikely to reread.

I was planning on selling quite a lot of my CLAMP collection because, while I was a maniac about them a few years ago, I only feel lukewarm towards their work now. I own a single volume of Tokyo Babylon and can't remember much about the series so I decided to reread the volume to decide whether I want to sell it. All the feelings from the time I read it came back. The awful, awful pairing of Seishiro/Subaru that destroyed me, the hilarious fashion of Hokuto, the critical social commentary that could still stand strongly today. Man, how could I forget how important this series is. I even bought the CLAMP no Kiseki edition of Tokyo Babylon, that's how much I loved it at the time. I've completely forgotten. Man, I think I went with Rita and Natalie to Pulsa Max to buy it lmao. I think I'll switch this Tokyopop edition for the Dark Horse omnibus ones, even though I'm not keen on the large format the quality of their CCS omnibuses were excellent. I just need to wait for people to buy my damn crap before I get money to buy these new editions....

I woke up at like 5.30 from that dream and didn't want to go back to sleep so I played on my tablet a bit before drifting off again. Then I woke up to the sound of my dog vomiting on my bed. Good morning.

Trying to translate Hachi's manga at the back of the YANKEE artbook really proves I need to get back into studying Japanese ..... wtf does this particle do what does this kanji mean wtf wtf wtff I haven't properly studied in like a year.... although I can say my Japanese is actually better than my Mandarin (laughs)

Basically the manga is about a girl thinking "if only" instead of acting, and finding happiness through something she did without much thought

i tried to hate mcr after i dropped out of bandom but i could never do it; they really meant a lot to my teenage self. i thought i buried my feelings for them back in 2008, in a grave i'll never dig up again. i've been listening to them now and then over the past year and there really is a lot of nostalgia. i used to know all the lyrics, know random facts about the members -it's all a bit hazy to me now. even after i stopped listening to them they're still my top played artist on last.fm with 5k plays - they'll probably stay at the top for quite a while because the next artists are 3k away and one i don't listen to frequently any more.

but basically i'm just here to say the black parade is still a solid as hell album

on the other hand, look at that shirtless body ahhahahahhahaha if i actually had other nendos it could be fun swapping parts (i have a miniature homura but ya.. it's miniature...)

actually, i'd love for aoba to wear a dress :"") if only i liked a female character enough to buy a nendo of them... that maiko madoka outfit might go well with aoba hahaha
