Random babble.

[askerian]

So recently I've been v. depressed sob sob over how much my f-list activity has dwindled. Used to be I'd have to go back two pages if I missed one day, and now there's maybe four more posts a day and I am a sad and emo Asuka.

But then I thought, hey, I haven't been posting much either.

Mostly I keep feeling like I can only post, and therefore spam people, if I have either fic or manga observations to share.

I don't post my random thoughts/plotbunnies/crack scenarios because right now most of them are about Homestuck and I'm pretty sure most of you guys aren't into that and i've been enough of a virus vector already, and I haven't seen a good fandom meme that I haven't done already in ages (kinda want to do a "opinions on pairings" meme for homestuck because I have ~feelings~ but aaaaa), and my real life is boring as fuck and not something interesting enough to share. (okay no yes I've gone from 180 pounds to 144 in the last six months and i'm not done yet! >:O i'm exactly five feet tall so yes, still quite visibly overweight. shut up i'll be proud if i want to be. told you it'd be boring!)

But as a result I'm complaining of something I'm doing too. Hrrm.

It doesn't help that I'm guilting over not writing much teamwork recently. (but hey! the other day I started chapter two of the wedding fic. It has Sasuke and Naruto and Sai at a bathhouse. Sai keeps being Sai at the two of them, which is hilarious but hard to balance lest I fall into total moronisation of the guy. :/ Still, it's not teamwork proper. hrrrrn.) I think part of that is the canon hasn't been really grabbing me as much as it used to recently. Insane!sasuke is so frustrating and Naruto the lone hero who makes token "efforts" at team fighting while gloriously bathing everything in his radiance as Sakura is sidelined... meh.

(the rest of that is that I have to write a Sakura-POV fight scene while naruto and sasuke are off having relationship angst in the background. I like writing fight scenes, but only if there's emotion in it, and I REALLY like to write character interaction, which cannot be focused on right now because dramatic tension blahblah. If I keep stalling on it, it means I'm doing something wrong with my plotting, but I haven't figured out what that is yet.)

I need to rekindle my love for Naruto. Maybe a reread/rewatch. Idk.

I need to friend more communities with interesting stuff on it? but like what. No clue. aaa.

I need to start posting on LJ more! D: but about whaaaaat. DX

Argh. Stupid f-list. Update more, damn you!

I would love to see Homestuck stuff from you! This might be a bit blunt but, it's your journal, why are you letting other people dictate what goes on it? If you worry that much, just put it under a cut? I personally just skim or skip over things that i don't like or have no real interest in. Doesn't seem like it should be an issue?

Also, congrats on the hard work paying off! And, would you be entertained by a live blog of Naruto? (I am idly poking at the story occasionally but must admit that I am waiting for the series to end to decide if I want to finish it. What is it with Shonen Jump series having amazing beginnings and characters and just...kind of drifting to a random end?)

idk, what's a live blog? .__.;;;;;;;; is it like people talking on video? I don't understand very well when people speak english, especially when they're not professional actors who train for clear diction, so probably not. and yeah, god, also all the shonen series that just... idk, fall into cliche endings because that's how a shounen series formula go, and all the originality and life is leeched out... blergh.

Live blogging is kind of like what you're doing with the Naruto chapters now, except more stream of consciousness. So like when you post your chat logs with friends?
I just, crying so much. So much potential! So much interesting set up! And then...it mysteriously is forgotten or something.
