Taking the Plunge

Ok, so I took the plunge! I applied for the JET program, and now I'm getting all the paper application together. I have to have it to the Japanese Embassy by November the 24th. It makes me a bit nervous- I'll be away from home, and I don't know when or if I'll be able to go back. But it's not like I've even been accepted yet, so I can't say...

But, on the other hand, a long-term wish of mine will be fulfilled! I'll finally be able to go to Japan, and experience it firsthand. Is it bad that, in recent years, I haven't been as enamoured with Japan? I guess because now I know so much about it, and its problems.

But, I'm still excited!

I love Mifune. He manages to sound deadly and badass even when willfully handing out candy to children he feels sorry for. If Mifune were real, I think I'd marry him.

So because I am dancing back and forth between reading Twilight and City of Bones while watching Supernatural (have to have something to counteract the scariness), I felt the need to say some things.

Upon the first few pages of Twilight, I am already enraged. Bella, why can't you be even a little happy that your father bought you a car? A fucking car. Most teeagers would die in happiness at the thought of a vehicle solely for them (the ones in Hollywood being the exception). What the hell.

Is it sad, though, that her writing is actually better than Cassandra Clare's? I thought they would be basically on par... (Though it is not only writing that is awful with Clare, but character reactions as well; I can't count how many times I would think to myself "Someone in that situation would not have done that, you lying whore!")

Well, I'm sorry your life is so fucking boring, Clary. Why don't you go and try to make it more interesting, like volunteer work, or cleaning your house, or even fucking studying. It might even make you step out of yourself, and give a new purpose to your life. Oh wait, you're just a stupid fucking self-insert, of course you couldn't possibly do any of these worthwhile things. Fucking suburbanite kids.

This is why we can't have nice things.

EDIT: Ah, fuck I knew Jace was a Draco Malfoy insert.

EDIT THE SECOND: Um... Cassandra? Tawny is dark blond. Not pale. K thanks, bye.

AAARRRGH, IT BURNS LIKE A THOUSAND SUNS

Dear god. At first, upon reading City of Bones, I thought to myself "This is just as bad as fanfiction!"

And, then, by page nine, I had realized my error. It is by far worse than fanfiction. It's so mediocre it's awful Who would actually pay someone to write like that. Or, rather, who would pay someone to write like that about themselves? It's an awful, awful Mary Sue. Even worse than Twilight.

Dear god, what has literature (regard the small "l") become?

I have discovered another little new heaven; smoked swiss and ham bagel sandwiches baked in a convection oven. So good.

Today I have two classes- both health classes, and both in the same building. Yay! I'm thinking I might drop one, though. I only need 11 more upper division credits, anyway.

Okay, and now I shall go and pretend I am not as pathetic as I really am.

... I want to go home.
