There's nothing like discussing the psychoanalytical perspectives and disputes that come with gendering society to fire up the libido... yeah, baby, yeah!

OK, still resisting the new Kenshin OAV. Which is good, because I have quite a few things to do tomorrow... got to put some music in my film project, do a trailer, do some readings for tomorrow's SEX tutorial...
Yes, you heard right. SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX.
Well, it's really called Family, Sex and Gender. But it's still about SEX.
Wahaha.
SEX!
...
Anyway, another dorm-mate has seen my Nausicaa AMV, which is still unfinished. My next door dorm-mate raved so much about it that I was obliged to open up the project file and show it to them.
Sheesh, I haven't touched the video for ages... I was looking at all those blank screens and mistakes and just squirming. I HATE showing my work while it's still unfinished. It just gives people the chance to slam it.
But the dorm-mate who was watching the vid for the first time likes it! She said it was very moving.
Sigh... don't think I'm going to have time for the Nausicaa video for a while. I have so many freakin readings to do, man!
SEX!
Ooh, about my film thingy... I am going to be putting up the trailer sometime soon. I'll probably put up a post about it here when I do. -

Can't breathe... just downloaded the new Kenshin OAV. It looks so freakin' fantastic!
I haven't watched it. Going to wait until the anticipation leaks out my ears before I do. Yes! I'm sadomasochist!
I'm going to wait because if I don't, I'll have nothing to do for entertainment, man... yeah yeah, there tutorials and readings and assignments... but THIS IS DIFFERENT! THIS IS ANIME! NEW ANIME TO BOOT!
The art looks just like the other OAV, but this one covers Kenshin's story after he got to know Kaoru. Kaoru seems to be the main character here... the story is told from her perspective.
Anyway, for a preview, go download Misty Caldwell's AMV. It's very nicely done. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/video.php?v=6157
Aargh... in just one night I've racked up almost 500 MBs of downloads.
3 GB transfer cap be damned! -

Hey Kyburg and Bowler
Couldn't agree more with you guys... CLIMB THAT WATERFALL!
I heard this cool quote just this weekend: "I'd rather live in faith than live in doubt." Of course, living that way means things are pretty damn scary most of the time, but it also means that you'll never be bored.
I once read about a poll they did with people over the age of 80. They asked them what they wish they'd done different in their life. There were two common answers to the question:
1. They wished they'd taken more risks, and
2. They wished they'd invested more in the things that matter.
Man, it really made me think about my own life. Am I investing in things that don't count? Am I taking enough risks? Am I living too formulaic a life? Am I too comfortable where I am? Just how far can I go if I throw caution to the wind? Am I going to regret the same things those people did when I am 80?
Frightening questions that could change your life if taken seriously.

Hey Hakura
No need to apologise for ranting... it's your own journal, you can say whatever the hell you want. And about people thinking you're a freak because you want to express yourself... I don't see why they would, but could you stop them if they did? :)
I can totally relate with your feelings of wanting to be alone, and then feeling lonely because of it. I myself am still trying to strike a balance between the two extremes. Like you, I discovered that being with people isn't the same as being able to relate to them.
And I know how being too nice can be so wearying. I'm trying to be a little more straight now with my opinions. I've found out one thing though... because I have always been so tight-lipped about giving personal criticism, people tend to listen to me when I finally decide enough is enough and finally let it out. It may be that you will find the same kind of response.
Look up, Hakura. Things will not always be this way. You will come to a point where you will be happy with yourself. And one day, you'll realise that some people think you're unique for the same reasons you think yourself a freak.

Kyburg - I LOVE sparrows... I used to have a sparrow as a pet as a child. I picked it up when it fell out its nest as a baby.
We used to let it fly around our kitchen for exercise. It took a real liking to nesting in my mom's hair. And, oh my, I just remembered this - once in a while it'd poop on her and she'd get so pissed!
