rampant consumerism
These days, when I can manage to pry myself off of my DS, I'm usually looking at clothes. As someone who straddles the hipster fence when it comes to fashion, I'm well versed with the idea of wearing things with irony.
This makes my burgeoning obsession with kicks much easier to bear.

this is my away message
My father recently got me Final Fantasy Tactics A2. It's not a game I would've checked out on my own.
And yetIn the past two days it has become overwhelming apparent that this game is like crack- and not in the "ha ha, [this] is my anti-drug!" sort of way- no, in the "OH GOD where did the day go I HAVE TO PLAY MORE ( Read more... ) -
Apollo Justice
So I'm really bad at posting on a regular basis. ...In my defense, I did just graduate from college. Now I'm working full-time until my gap year plans start up in the fall, which is somehow more tiring than I remember it being.

Apollo Justice, Case 1
The biggest complaint I have with these games is that the actual gameplay is incredibly linear. Half of the courthouse scenes in the big cases consist of scrolling through text in which key points are made. Don't get me wrong, I like being able to sit back and watch the story unfold sometimes (I play the Final Fantasy games. NUFF SAID.) but good ( Read more... ) -
fandom and I
I never used to care that much about closely following canon so it comes as a surprise to me that, suddenly, I want to know everything there is to know about KHR. Of course this is difficult because there are a great many things that were probably not very well thought out- i.e., the (non-existent) language barrier ( Read more... ) -
meme time
I've been in and out of fandom for the past few years. I think this is the first time since high school that most of my fandoms are manga, rather than TV, series.
So hey, what better way to break in a new journal than with a meme?? My thoughts on fandom. Let me show you them.
