Red Pill, Blue Pill
You ever rewrite something and it never seems good enough? This feeling is similar but it's more like no matter how many times I write to exorcise it, it's not enough. I have a pretty good memory but the downside of it was always processing. I have to process everything one by one and when the workload is more than usual, I just can't take it. ( Read more... ) -
Arrived in L.A.
It's not my first trip to L.A. and I doubt it will be my last. It's a stopover before Tokyo so M and I are staying here for a day before catching the flight over. The joys of using two different carriers. It's not my first time to Tokyo though the last time I went there was almost ten years ago so it's safe to assume it's changed quite a lot since ( Read more... ) -
Oh the Injustice
Ever since I got my iPad mini two years ago, I've been dedicated to the Injustice: Gods Among Us mobile game. While I've dabbled with other games, this is the one that I play with the most and have continued to do so. It's easier to pick up than a console game and because it's on an iPad mini, it's convenient to play when I have time on my hands. ( Read more... ) -
Houston, We Have a Problem
I started this LJ almost ten years ago during a trip to Hong Kong and other cities in Asia. I've been neglecting it quite a bit since I usually write in my paper journals but there are days typing seems more my speed. Reading some of my older posts, I realize how silly I must have been at an earlier age. At least I now know some of my worries were ( Read more... ) -
Into the Belly of the Beast
If I pass in one more assignment, I would have passed 4 out of four courses last semester as well as got most of my required courses done so that in the fall I only have one required distance course and the other three can be electives. However to get to that point, I need to first pass that one leftover course and get two of the three of this ( Read more... ) -
Face, Fanfics and Forward
I've been using the Clarisonic Plus for almost a year now and I can't disagree that there is a visible improvement. The blemishes now aren't as bad as before and the intensive scarring I had before is reduced. Give another few months and I'll probably be as smooth and unblemished as I was a few years ago. I have been falling behind with my skincare ( Read more... ) -
Identity in Transit
The road to condensing my personas down to two or three was a process that didn't happen overnight. Like any mess, to create it is far easier than to clean it. By my count this is a mess I've been perpetuating for years. I know my main identity is one of the keys needed to keep going. I need to stop running away from that name just because I don't ( Read more... ) -
Kindness Towards Self
If I had to list the most common piece of advice my counselor gives me is to "be kind to yourself", which is something I really suck at. Facebook is particularly evil when it comes being mean to myself. Weddings, babies and lifestyle posts don't affect me because those will come in good time. I'm not even sure I want the first two and most of the ( Read more... ) -
Change, Change, Change
Since I've banned myself from the journal I write on my computer, LJ is my last resort because I know it's like pulling teeth sometimes to get me to post here about personal things but I started this LJ for therapy so I should continue what I started since it helped before. I seem to feel better this weekend. I did my weekly quiz ahead of time. I'm ( Read more... ) -
Too Many Names to Name
Fandom has moved onto Tumblr. I look at this journal now and wonder what to do with it since there's no fandom to connect to anymore by it. I've banned myself from writing in my paper journals. Why? Because it's distracting. The amount of time it would take me to write out a page by hand now compared to my typing speed, it would just make more ( Read more... )
