So HSO continues to consume my life--do you know how weird it is to be browsing random Tumblrs and come across people talking about it?
So weird. I don't know what I would do if I were actually Fandom Famous. Probably die.
But I love HSO; I have been continually surprised by the sheer enthusiasm and creativity of some of the participants. Almost everything we got in for round 1 has been of mindboggling quality. I am eagerly looking forward to future rounds!
Here are some non-HSO things I have been doing over the past few weeks or so:
- UTENA omg. I have been meaning to watch for fucking ever, and I had a blast doing it with
relares and crew. IT WAS SO GOOD. Trippy! But look, I ate up Princess Tutu with a spoon, I was never not going to love Utena. Even if I probably need another six viewings to understand what the fuck was going on there. (Also:
lesbians.)
- Writing my
god_tier fic! I, um, didn't touch it for months and then suddenly pounded out 4k in two days--still don't know how that happened, I am pretty slow with the words in general. But I like this fic! It is my baby, and I just want to cuddle and love it until it becomes as awesome as it can be.
- Speaking of,
media creation claims are open for
god_tier! If you're an artist/mixer/what have you, give it a whirl.
- A little over a month until I have to go back to school! I am so excited aaaaa this year I am going to meet people and see the city and do all the things I was too antisocial and miserable to do last year! (SPEAKING OF: if you live near Chicago tell me! I want to meet people.) I am taking organic chemistry and DIGITAL STORYTELLING and an excessively pretentious course involving Adam Smith and Marx that I am looking forward to a lot. ahh, I miss Chicago already ;_;
- I think that's it???? I have been sort of consumed by fannish nonsense lately. There is a whole stack of Respectable and Literary Books by my bedside that I have not touched. I would rather reread Strider's Edge for the eighth time, I guess?
I also bought a paid account in what was one of the stupider decisions I have ever made. You will notice that I keyworded every icon with Rose in it to the same Rentals song, but, uh:
Please let that be you
Knocking on my door so loud just like you do
Bringing a message or two
You know you are my faith, and I love you
I rest my case.
