nike_ravus I feel like i used to have interests, and like, focus. That's shit, i never had focus.
But i did used to have interests. And i didn't read trash all the time. New low: the Sookie Stackhouse novels. At least they're not Twilight (gag, I read one page and was like, whoops, i'm done). the Harris books at least have character, southern character, even if the plot is a rejected script from a canceled police procedural.
I have learned three things from writing fanfiction: 1, that i cannot stomach writing romance. 2, that i actually can write porn, if i approach it with the mindset of this is going to be dirty and wrong and hot, but nothing else. 3, that i can write bad police procedural plots.
I am becoming a hack. This blows.
I need to study for the GREs, because it seems pretty clear that if i am left to my own devices i will collapse from brain atrophy.
I used to like anime and manga, but now i can't stand it. this depresses me. Maybe i should just try to dig up some articles on japanese linguistics, since Japanese pop culture leaves me cold.
So, i need some new interests. Any suggestions for something entertaining but intellectually stimulating? And preferably without lesbians in. Just so i don't get sucked back into this trap of repulsive trashy excess. But girls with weapons are highly thought of.
My room is an oven.

Date: 2009-07-26 03:50 am (UTC)Oh, don't bother with their names. When I talk about them to my friends, I just refer to them as either Jensen and Jared, or Boy!Alex and Boy!Lorelai. Miss Li breaks my heart later on (HOW COULD SHE NOT CHOOSE JARED/LORELAI? HOOOOOOOOOOW???) and then the stupid show gets all political and shit. WHATEVERS. I should just post a list of episodes to watch and episodes to skip.

Sophia Bush is very hot, but oddly, I don't think the show likes her very much. I have not seen enough to judge fully, but there always seems to be a weird moralistic overtone to the scenes, maybe in the music, that says "this is not the right thing to do. A moral comeuppance is soon to be had."
Unless its Lucas or a scene where the ultimate goal of a happy hetero family is being shown in which scenes the music says, "this is destiny. And once the ethnic child disappears, destiny will prevail."
Now i want to watch OTH. But i must go make bread.

Date: 2009-07-26 03:53 pm (UTC)Watch the Season 1 episode where Haley (and Mouth) subs in for a cheerleader and joins a competition. That one is actually pretty entertaining. (YES, I OWN SEASON 1 ON DVD BUT IN MY DEFENSE I BOUGHT THEM FOR THREE DOLLARS IN CHINA.) Meanwhile, Lorelai uses an annoying babyvoice when speaking to Christopher after they get married. Fail!

it that way but it was still good.
Hope you keep at it one day.
