I found out at a very early age that searching for an innocent and cherished childhood show on dA will corrupt your soul and send you into tears. Sure, to each their own, but, err, I did not need to see Scooby Doo and Shaggy doing that. It's only made worse because some kids don't know when the mature filters are necessary. I mean, whether some things should be labeled mature can be debatable, but that's just a given. A GIVEN. Oh, the days when the Internet could still shock and astound me. Not so much anymore.
Oi, man, that seems like a lot of work. I'm not even interested in the My Little Ponies whatsoever, but yet for some reason I kind of. . . get it. It's that universal understanding nerds have, for when it comes to spazzing over something most people aren't interested in, or like in this case, putting a lot of effort into something most people wouldn't be interested in, you know? I don't know if MLP is nerdy or not, I'm just defining "nerdy" here as liking non-mainstream stuff (actually, I've heard that nerd relates to intelligence and geek refers to being overly interested in stuff, but I figure there's no harm in using these terms interchangeably and besides, I like the word "nerd" more than I like "geek" but I digress). Or maybe this universal ways of nerds is just totally a figment of my imagination ;___;
I do really love it when people have a collection of something. It doesn't even matter what it is, whether it's ordinary like rocks or something a bit more quirky. Especially when they have their collection out, it gives you something to look at. I think it makes the person more interesting too, haha. Then again I can usually find something interesting about anyone (though it might take awhile, especially if you're talking to someone who doesn't want to admit to liking something uncommon).
I'm a pretty fast reader myself, but it sometimes takes me awhile to read books just because I get distracted easily. I'll read half a page and then my mind will wander off thinking of something else. This of course, isn't so bad when I finally get my reading mojo on, but it's still annoying. Ich, I have a feeling that reading too much fic might have skewed what my brain expects to see when I'm reading. If you know what I mean coughcough I hardly got any reading done over the summer. I finished one and managed to get half-way down a tl;dr one, but that's about it sob. Speaking of long novels, there's one I've been all notsureifiwant.gif about, Infinite Jest or something. I picked that sucker up and realized that you could probably use two of them and start weight lifting with them. Though, I'm probably not ready for that so I'll just stick to. . . Lincoln's Briefs or something which is a very silly book I found in Chapters the other day. Something about Lincoln staging his own assassination and then running off to Canada to live a life of high fashion. Somewhere along the line, he adopts an albino moose. The back also reads, "Honest Abe? More like HONEST BABE!' and you're probably thinking "that sounds stupid and you have terrible taste in books" but it's not my fault if I enjoy reading silly things every so often ;___; The bastardization of history is something I hold dear to my heart.
Too late, I have already resisted the tempting ways of English! I mean, I was thinking about going into English once, back in the day~! When I was like, in grade nine or something. Not that it matters much because you're speaking to someone who has probably wanted to go into every goddamn field at some point. The English thing wouldn't work out anyways, I hardly pay attention to grammar. Most of what I write probably sounds terrible because I don't fret too much how I'm writing unless it's being marked. I write how I talk, more or less. Minus those silly/dorky mannerisms/voices/expressions you can't translate into text.
I remember in art, some people were talking about what they use to colour their digital art. It really is hard convincing people that Photoshop is not the end all be all for colouring digital art. I think I may have convinced them though, especially when I told them about the prices for the others. And when it became sort of obvious that I knew more about these programs than they did hoho
