Battle Royale and the Hunger Games

[spacefille]

I suppose it's time for my monthly update. I just checked my friends list for the first time in ages and the front page was full of posts from people I've known well for years. It made my heart glow with the happiness of familiarity and old memories. Also makes me want to update this thing more often... Facebook doesn't cut it and Tumblr isn't

I don't know how it is in Canada, but in the U.S. you cannot drive a car legally in any capacity without insurance. You can't even own one. I'm glad you weren't hurt.

Why won't anyone read Battle Royale by Koushun Takami?! You know the actual NOVEL? It's the only capacity I'm familiar with the story, lol. Sad I can't find anyone who's actually read the damn thing. (The lifespan of most of the characters is pretty short: usually you meet, get to know, and then watch die the same person in the same chapter). Also gotta love the Bruce Springsteen references.

I'm looking forward to DBZ:TAS episode 30 too. I absolutely adore what they're doing with the series, especially since I've watched it in its full, original capacity.

I wish I had suggestions. I think people who know about your situation better with that might be able to help you. I've decided to just keep going with my degree, to hell what anyone else has to say about it. It's what I want.

Yeah, a good friend as well as others told me that I should stick with teaching for now as it apparently gets easier with time. Which makes sense. It's just... grrrriiiinnndddd...

Anyway, because I forgot, what are you taking? I've probably asked this before. :)

It's okay, it's not like we've spoken about it in a while. I'm going for a degree in English Literature. Yes, I still haven't gotten that damn thing yet. XD It'll happen.

Hi Anon, thank you. I'm going to keep on fighting through. :P How goes it for you?

I've only seen the Hunger Games movie. Keegan brought the books home, so I could read them, but he told me Katniss gets irritating after book one, so I skipped.

As for careers.... It took me 10 years to figure out what I really wanted to do, and even still I'm switching programs, lol. Only to a BA Env. studies instead of a BSc Env sci. but still. Good luck to you, whatever you do.

It's good you're still writing. I lost a lot of creative momentum by not being around creative people anymore. :(
I AM writing an Avengers fanfic though. :S It's not long yet, but it's amusing me and I think I might actually finish it.

Whoot! Avengers! I still have yet to see the movie. XD

What job are you going for when you are done your degree? :)

[ravenshaelo]

Dunno, really. Probably land use policy or something. Or land resources use or something. I dunno. I know there are careers in my field, I'm just not really aiming for anything. ^^;
