Random happenings + Meme
I can never think of what to call posts about nothing in particular. |D;
I guess the main thing that's happened is that I was accepted into the university in Japan I applied to, so I'm happy about that. 8D Thanks to everyone who wished me luck with my application. We visited it last month, and liked it a lot (probably over the one which I failed in getting accepted into). The term starts in September, so hopefully that'll go alright. (Lots of forms, though. ; ).
I was also accepted to the summer course run by the university, which is July-August, so I suppose I'll have something to do over the summer, at least. Apart from that, I've mainly been studying for my Japanese exam in June, which I'm... not that confident about. |'D Hopefully that'll be alright too, nevertheless.
In the meantime, I'm really getting behind on my translations. |'D Would be nice if I could get back to those sometime. (It's telling that I don't usually make personal posts, and yet my last post was a personal one. ; ). Not a lot apart from all the university stuff going on, though. It's getting a bit warmer, which is nice.
Secondly (just for fun), a meme taken from lthemilkeater:
Pick 20 movies/video games/literary works/TV shows and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds (TVTropes). Without cheating(!), have your friends guess.
1) Sporadically employed veteran with unhealthy eating habits makes his way in post-war Bakumatsu-era Japan. With aliens.
2) Skill at sport bestows ability to defy physics and commit genocide against the dinosaurs.
3) A misogynist addicted to smoking and cocaine lives together with an ex-army doctor with a mysteriously migrating injury. Together, They Fight Crime! The Big Bad is a math teacher.
4) In a desert wasteland, an older boy takes other people's monsters in order to perform therapy for them.
5) You fight against angels led by a legendary hero and ruin his plans for world peace
6) A baby is switched at birth, which causes great problems later on. Meanwhile, a cynic with a fondness for antique cars, a rare book dealer, a Granola Girl, a man who breaks things, one of the last witch-hunters in Britain and the witch-hunter's landlady attempt to prevent four rather sinister bikers from causing The End Of The World As We Know It.
7) A lawyer with spiky hair defends the innocent through courtroom antics and really dramatic pointing, beating down an old friend and said friend's mentor in the process. His old boss sticks around to help from beyond the grave.
8) Fourteen Fifteen messed-up children play a fun game with Humongous Mecha. Neon Genesis Evangelion is happy and optimistic by comparison.
9) Ex-cop spends the night in a cheap hotel counting the number of apples in paintings. If he thinks fast he can use a vending machine.
10) A teacher copes with his dissatisfaction with society by encouraging people to kill themselves. Hilarity Ensues.

13) A ragtag bunch of Nakama are broken horribly and put themselves back together with The Power of Friendship.
14) A girl travels through her own dreams to collect goodies. Said dreams are completely and totally disturbing.

17) Three kids defeat the aforementioned [previous entry on TVTropes] time-travelling facelike entity ten years earlier (when he still had a body and wasn't a facelike entity)- by singing to him.
18) Four schoolgirls talk about nothing.
19) A delinquent meets the sickly daughter of Kamina and Belldandy, and they (re)start a club with his best friend and some other girls.
