Teriyaki x Tsumaranai

or, one must simply accept one’s bizarre taste.

Musical taste. When people ask me, ‘what music do you like?’ it is near impossible to give a proper reply. And while a lot of people jokingly say ‘anything,’ how many people really like things on opposite sides of the line?

Observe. Taken from my Last.FM stats: (not exactly in order)

*Vivaldi and Linkin Park are in red because even to me, that comparison just doesn’t make sense.

Bipolarity is starting to sound logical, because admittedly I don’t mix the left and right side together. It all depends on the mood. There is a classical-music-loving, peaceful side, who forgives the jerk who MPKs in Niffleheim ‘ah, maybe he mobbed too much, it happens to all of us….’ and there is a murderously irritable side who snaps when a Poring (just a Poring) moves toward common loot, ‘YOU —–ING JELLY, YOU, —— THAT’ kind of side.

That could also explain my taste in manga and anime, and life in general. I have loved certain children’s books (particularly Thief Lord…) and find delight in utterly normal things like clouds, falling leaves, and sunlight on a wall. Yet I have also lost patience with many supposedly mature books (Interview with a Vampire comes to mind… )

Anyway, I don’t get what my point was with this post. Beware the Mr Hyde side of Tsu? Do not judge a book by its cover, blablabla? Hmm. I’d better ask my ‘smart side’.

This year, my schedule is rather odd. I have been held back, not cause of a failing grade, but a triple combo of PE-PE-MST (math/sci/tech), general-ed subjects that are required for me to continue on to 4th year.

Far from being annoyed, I am rather pleased.

First of all, I have a job. It takes up a fair amount of time (and wrist pain) but money is money, and experience is experience. Secondly, I’ve been dying to take Japanese classes, and with the time I have now, I went ahead and signed up for it!

Thirdly (but this should be the first) I want to study. Study, out of the classroom. This year I want to experiment, observe, and test until I find the style I feel is ‘mine’. Also this is a chance to catch up on things I fail at- such as anatomy- since I even have time now to go out and sketch, or to read those huge volumes on artistic techniques, interior design and human proportions at the library.

There’s an animation course being offered too, but I plan to take it next semester. <3

I feel happier than I would have if my schedule had gone as planned…
