Now what?

Hello.

So I thought I would give an update on how my little manga/anime obsession is going, seen as how I haven't mentioned it since I finished reading Tsubasa.

I had mentioned on 17th May that ''I might rewatch the Tsubasa anime, or start xxxholic or Chobits, or other some other anime/manga''. In the past month and a bit, I read xxxholic, and watched the 2 anime seasons and extra bits and pieces. I read Chobits, and attempted to watch the anime, but wasn't sold. I have just finished reading and then watching Vampire Knight. Along with all of this, I have been simultaneously rewatching the subbed version of Tsubasa.

I loved Vampire Knight. So now I'm feeling the same sort of thing that I felt when I had just finished Tsubasa. When you come to the end of something that you really enjoy, its always a bit bitter sweet. Like Harry Potter, or Twilight. I suppose I have a condolence in Vampire Knight in that it is still ongoing, unlike Tsubasa.

I post things on here somewhat haphazardly. I don't really plan them, I just stick them up when a tweet isn't long enough and I want to get something off my chest. So I guess the point of this post is that I don't know what to read/watch next. Last time, I sort of had a plan, whereas this time, I do not. I guess I'll just close my eyes and pick something, or else make my way through the top 50 list on onemanga.com.

My backspace key keeps sticking. Its very annoying. What with my 'i' rarely working as well, my laptop seems to be very very slowly breaking. I know it could be worse.

OK, that's all.

Goodbye.

New Addition to the Family

A few years ago, I adopted a young lady I refer to fondly as Pinhead.

A few days ago, I adopted another young lady I am going to name Thistlehead.

I put them in their room facing each other so they could get to know each other. I think they are getting along well, and I'm sure we will all be very happy together.

My building a business week by week book came yesterday. Week one says to buy stationary, which I'm quite excited about, and clear a work space. Week two says to work out the meaning of life. I like this book.

Ooo and also, I talked to my mum about the business thing. Now she realises it isn't going to be the be-all-and-end-all of my career, but more like a while-I-haven't-got-anything-else-to-do-why-not-give-it-a-try, I think she is feeling happier about it. I may be wrong, and she has just decided to give up, but either way! I can get started on making things!

By the way, Pinhead and Thistlehead are dressmakers mannequins.

PS - I worry that the red and orange fish at the bottom of this page bully the yellow one.

Sigh.

Lately, I have been entertaining the thought more and more of setting up my own business. I first had the idea while at Uni, but never really thought much on it. Then, a few weeks ago, my auntie suggested to me a way out of my career slump was to 'get more arrows for your quiver' and to broaden my market. So, like doing another course or teacher training, etc. From then on, I started to think I could set up a little Internet based business, selling custom made costumes and whatnot, and be able to fit it around any other commitments I have, whether it be work or otherwise. Anything I get from it will be profit, as I would have to put very little money into in the first place, literally just the domain cost and maybe some advertising.

I have spoken to many people about this. My friends were fantastic (I love you guys for cheering and clapping when I need you to). Random boys said I should go ahead. Even a friends mother was supportive and enthusiastic. My own, on the other hand, has not been.

OK, so she is entitled to her opinion, and if she doesn't think that its the best course of action, then that's fair enough. What really pisses me off is that she complains that I don't talk to her about what I'm working towards, when if I do, all I get is criticism, and not even the constructive sort. Which leaves me less likely to want to talk about it with her in the future. Which means she hasn't got a clue about whats going through my head, how much I have thought about this. Which will piss her off because she doesn't have any control over it.

I am doing this. I'm not saying it will be my career, its more like another option. But I'm suffocating here. I need my Independence.

I'm sorry for posting this all up here. No one wants to read this. But I guess I kind of see this like a dairy, a way to get the stuff I cant talk about out loud of my chest. So sorry, and feel free not to read anymore.
