Today I need to do:

-Dishes
-Vacuum
-Figure out what to do with the paper bags (recycle to be honest)
-Make advising appointment (may have to wait til Monday if not open)
-Ask Mom where I can get my tires filled
-Ask Mom to help me get my car's lights replaced (right blinker out, left dying)
-put clothes to give away in closet
-fold and put whites away
-sort through mags to recycle
-possibly buy new bookcase
-sort through clothes to give away
-dust

Do all this while listening to Throwing Shade or Welcome to Night Vale or Hyphenated-Lives.

Also, I caught up on SNK, and I am SO upset at Reiner and Bertholdt. Ymir and Krista/Historia are in grey spots for me right now. I really want to know more about Levi and Erwin's relationship. Until cannon proves otherwise, they are boyfriends. Although, now I'm leaning towards unrequited love, Levi->Erwin, though I don't want that to be why Levi joined the Scouting Legion. I love Jean and Armin's friendship. I'm really glad I didn't get into this manga right away, because it feels like one of those series that's best to read after at least the first arc is out because there's so much information that has to be revealed, especially with the world building, that it can be confusing. Still need to watch the anime. Also need to watch the last episode of Free!. I keep putting it off, but with a new special out, I really need to catch up.

Also still have to watch Sherlock Season 3, Doctor Who - 9 and 10, and the last half of that space cowboy show that's not Cowboy Bebop or anime. Also need to catch up on The Daily Show with John Stewart.

I'm probably going to end up watching a lot of classic British/American geek shows just because my friends like them and not because I want to. I definitely prefer E4 shows like My Mad Fat Diary and Skins or American teen shows like the O.C. or Freaks and Geeks. I wonder how Teen Wolf is doing this season? Maybe I'll watch it after all.... Also need to check out AHS: Coven and finish watching The Thick of It and then watch In the Loop.

But let's be honest, I'll probably do a couple chores while listening to Throwing Shade and then spend the rest of the nigh on tumblr and ONTD.

Catch up on SNK manga. Maybe Hirunaka no Ryuusei? Listen to all the Pop Queen's albums. I don't know how it happened, but I started listening to Katy Perry's Teenage Dream last night, and now I'm listening to Britney's Circus. I haven't been in the mood for pop music in forever, but I'm here for it. Maybe I'll pick up Beyonce's album at Starbucks today.

Still have to:

- grab laundry from dryer
- make advising appointment
- buy textbooks
- grocery shop
- get boots from parents
- shower
- make hair appointment
- spend 20 mins organizing room, putting clothes away

My roommate, L, makes videos with her sister on youtube in a vlogbrothers brotherhood2.0 style.

Hawaii by The Strokes is really not allowing me to express my frustration right now. Switched to Babyshambles Down in Albion.

I really like her sister's videos because she usually gives a life update or just shows footage of places she's visiting in France, but L is so annoying because she always tries to be deep and give meaning to her mundane activities, which alright, fine whatever, but she puts on this really annoying teacher voice that sounds really fake, but then she also sounds really unsure of herself, and it's just exasperating to watch. I'd just not, but then she'd get hurt if she brought it up and I said I hadn't watched it and would then make me watch it in front of her, and then I'd have to hide my expressions so she wouldn't see how painful I find it.

She's also started dating a 17-year-old. Her best friends are 18 and 19 respectively, and she keeps making friends with their friends, so she just ends up hanging out with teenagers when she isn't with N and me. ( We're 21.) I mean, they're in Running Start, so at least they aren't high schoolers, but it's still awkward when I meet someone and assume they're 19/20 and then find out that they're 17/18. I know 4 years isn't that large an age gap, but L will have her Masters after this year.

I think the reason why my roommates rub me the wrong way so often is 'cause they talk about how mature they are compared to others our age. I might not be pursuing a Masters or finishing college in 4 years, but at least I don't have illusions of maturity. We're not better than others just because we don't get fucked up every weekend and thirsty Thursday.

IDK. Maybe they want to align themselves with a clique (nerds) because they went to such large schools where there were enough people to have cliche cliques. My school had less than 200 students, so we were all forced to interact with each other. Maybe that led to us not stereotyping each other as much? Like, we still had groups, but there was a lot of crossover.

I personally don't identify as a nerd. Yeah, I like anime and manga and reading, but that doesn't make me some sort of outcast or better than others. Also, it's pretty weird to take pride in disliking sports. I'm not a huge fan of sports, but I don't think that they're pointless the way L and N do, never mind that sports can provide community bonding experiences and chances for exercise. Sure, some of sports culture is seriously messed up, but you could say the same for the music and arts world they love. (though I feel it would just go in one ear and out the other with lots of defenses about how art uses the brain and sports are stupid)

Oh! Speaking of manga, I started getting into it again and am so happy I did. For some reason, I just couldn't get it in me to read anything. I'll do a manga post soon of what I'm reading and planning to read. I hope this also means that I'll get back into anime soon, though lately all tv watching has been too passive for me. Like, even when I want to watch something I get restless and end up pausing to go on tumblr or ONTD.
