Break's Over, Guys

I haven't felt like writing in quite a while. Actually, that's a lie. I've felt like writing, but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. After spring break, it's been the same monotony again. I'm trying for decent amounts of sleep now, but I got sidetracked by online manga last night. I guess I'm never going to develop any self restraint.

No cool library items today, although last week, I found an article on fashion for corporate executives in the 80's and I thought it was hilarious and copied a picture of a guy trying to look cool in his suit with suspenders. ^_^ That will go on my door, once I manage to take down the huge Legolas poster that Sarah put up a few days back.

Spring break was nice - I went home as usual. Did some more clothes shopping, avoided doing homework although I brought tons of stuff home, washed lots of dishes, played massive amounts of DDR. All that good stuff. Ah, I had Brett come visit too, since most of my high school friends didn't have spring break at the same time as me and no one was around. It was maybe a bit awkward for the both of us, but there was great fun to be had in touring Londonderry, raiding the uber-ghetto FunWorld (I totally forgot how scary and sad that place is), and evading the zombie geese. I managed to beat some 9-foot DDR songs during that time too (Tsugaru, Matsuri Japan, Frozen Ray), though only on my own system, of which I am painfully aware that the timing is all off. >_<

At long last, I'm making myself a pair of wings. I've always wanted a cute little pair of feathery angel wings to wear for absolutely no reason at all (well, not always, but definitely since sometime in high school when Brynne made herself a pair and they were awesome), so I started thinking about cosplay for Anime Boston. And then, since Alissa offered to lend me her Matrix trenchcoat, I decided to cosplay as Yuli, the vampire from Pop'n Music. Pop'n Music is a game that I really know nothing about, other than it's a Bemani type thing with colorful buttons. Okay, that's a lie. I get the idea of the game - it's more like I know nothing about Yuli other than he's the singer for the band Deuil, the other two members of which are a werewolf and a mummy. XD Ah well. In the end, instead of feathered wings, I'm making a pair of red dragon-esque wings out of wire and cloth. So far, they're looking pretty good although I've only done about half on one wing. I'm really excited to finish - I can't wait to wear them! They are rather small - each wing is about a foot and a half long, and they curve nicely, and I rather like them. Sewing the cloth together is a bit complicated though, since I'm going for a ribbed look, which requires several small pieces stiched together, and I don't know how I'm going to finish off the base of the wings, and how to get it all to be wearable. No matter. I'll cross those bridges when I come to them. I just wish I had more time to work on them.

I've decided that I need to become a better person. Only problem is, I'm not sure how. Maybe I need to stop being so bitter. Or maybe people need to stop pissing me off. Certain people need to learn to grow up. Seriously. Aren't we all adults by now? Maybe I should actually come out and say it sometime. Not that I think it will help.

I think I'm a little too possessive for my own good. If I could detach myself from my surroundings a bit more, I think I'd feel a good deal less frustrated. But then I'd probably just end up feeling more empty than I am already. My goal in life seems to have been to play a supporting character role, and I often feel like that even in my own life. This can't be right.
