What the hell.

I come home and I'm ready to drop at 8pm. I stick it out til 10 and then go to pass out. And I can't. What the fuck? I'm exhausted but I can't fall asleep. Shit.
My feet are completely shredded by my shoes. All of my shoes, it seems. I wore some old flip flops today that I brought with me from Canada and now I seem to have blisters? Sort of. They must be really deep because there isn't a bubble on the surface but just feels like a build up of fluid near the arch that I can't drain. It's kind of uncomfortable to walk but not painful. We'll see how we go tomorrow. Maybe I'll just have to drop more to numb the discomfort.
Got a recommendation today from someone... I didn't really think of what would happen if someone recommended something but we didn't put it up. I have tried to get passed the first chapter (I had enough trouble with the first paragraph) but I can't. I really have a hard time taking something seriously when they can't even get their gender references correct. It's quite bloody confusing. It's just.. not good enough. Starr? What do you think?
Well... I cleaned house today. Finally, I tackled the bathroom and you could eat off that shit now. I'm so proud of myself. It wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be, thanks to my mold killer. Although I thought I might pass out from the fumes at one point -- even with the ceiling fan going. Might have been a bit of overkill with the spray. Whoops. Met up with Justin and went to find the Tokyo Daibutsu (Buddha), the 3rd largest sitting Buddha in Japan. It's somewhere in West Tokyo but we managed to find it as well as the Akazuka Botanical Garden where I painted a little picture as a keepsake. The old ladies were so cute. I am quite impressed with my skills. I'll have to take a picture of it.
I was supposed to go to Ben and Andrew's tequila party but I just didn't have the energy. And I can't stand stuffy rooms with too many bodies so I wouldn't have had a good time anyway. I went home and maybe I should have gone to sleep at 8 anyway. Hrmdfsa. I guess I could finish watching the first episode of HYD2. I wanted to watch House but I think I need to restart my computer because the freaking device manager keeps crashing so I can't change the region. :/

Date: 2008-07-19 05:22 pm (UTC)I think that it's an archive for anyone's enjoyment for anyone who wants to use it, and there should be a variety of fics suited for different people's tastes. That being said, it's still our site, and personal taste is one thing, but a disregard for the english language is another. And you know, the fic might be an excellent one, with a great plot or something. But I don't think either of us will ever know because the chances of us getting past the first few paragraphs are pretty slim, I think.
On the site, you already put up that the fics should at least stick to basic grammar rules and stuff, right? Maybe in that section, add to it that fics will be put up at our discretion, if we feel that the fic isn't up to par with the others on the list, and we hope that they will understand that that's simply because we're trying to collect a quality list of fics, not every piece of fanfiction out there or ... yadda yadda yadda, I dunno. It's too early for me to think coherently so I'm already stretching it. XD
Anyway, there was another rec, a Shohno fic, that I read and it was really cute <3 If you haven't read it yet, you should. Served as a nice bit of wake up fluff for me that I could appreciate even through my sleepy haze of doom.
