Anyway. School. Well, I was mostly kidding when I said I don't know if they'd want to put up with me for another four years. Though I imagine the department heads must be a little frustrated with me. I was quite a thorn in their side last semester when I kind of went into a reclusive stage. But, er, I'm better now, so things should probably be okay this year, I think. As for social stuff, it's weird, man. My tiny undergrad school had so many things to be involved in, but now that I've changed schools, this one hardly has anything. All the student organizations are either sports or religious-centric, no arts organizations at all. So I'm going to take a look at the town theatre organizations and see what I can get involved with... I might have to wait a while though. Oh yeah, and when I say I might get a job, I mean a real job, haha. I'm probably going to do something with the school library or writing centre, but I want a real job too at the grocery store or something. Something labour-intensive. The pay is shit, but I find that it's difficult for me to be happy unless I'm working with my hands.

I'm trying to imagine you as intimidating in real life.
It's not working.
Hah, well, you'll have to try harder, I guess. ;p I find it easier to see how people would find me intimidating in real life than online. Plenty of people seem to find me scary online, and I'm not sure why, as I always try to be friendly, or at least civil. But in real life I guess it makes sense enough, because I'm very quiet and I don't smile and I always look like I'm glaring (I don't do it on purpose - maybe my face is stuck like that) and I can't hold a conversation at all. I'm getting a little better, in that I can speak when I need to, and approach people when I need to, but for the most part I guess I seem stand-offish and rather formal, and then people find that intimidating. In summary: I am Sweden. Or maybe Norway (someone said I'm a Norway). Sigh.

Television - well. I must admit, I do love crime dramas, even if they're all over the place nowadays. Some of my fondest memories are of watching Law&Order with my parents when I was very young. Most of the new stuff isn't as good as the original L&O, though (or maybe I'm just biased). I don't like how some of this new stuff seems to be less about solving the mystery + the drama of the trial and more about the shiny, flashy special-effects and technology.
Anyway, yeah, it's pretty crazy how much tv some people watch. I would argue, though, that spending a lot of time on the computer is marginally better than staring at a television all the time. It mostly depends on what you're doing on it. Most of the time when I'm on it, I'm either communicating with someone or doing something creative, and even if that creativity is just fanfiction or, er, pretending to be a country, well... at least I'm doing something.

Regarding Nosferatu: Ehhh, well, you might end up taking the piss out of it. Possibly. I think part of the reason I found it so scary is because I was watching it alone, in the dark, during a storm. Heh. But I do hope you find it interesting, at least.

...Er. Yeah, the Jesus as a rock star with his crossdressing vampire BFF in Montreal story was from my teenage years, but I didn't stop working on it until 3/4 of the way through undergrad. *facedesk* So it... technically went on longer than that. The reason I took so long to scrap it is because I loved the characters so much, and writing them was so much fun, that even though the story was ridiculous, I wanted to continue. After I finally admitted that it was silly, I considered trying to figure out a way to salvage the characters, start over, write a story that actually made sense. But I couldn't come up with anything. I might turn back to it one day, see if I can try again.
