So getting drunk on Bailey's last night and then staying up 'til three am reading FF7 fanfic was apparently not a great idea, because I feel crappy today. Not even really hungover-crappy, just...out of it and in a funk. Thus why I am sitting here morosely sipping at my tea and playing Flash minigames on MSN Gaming Zone.
I dunno, I just have this looming sense that I've horribly overcommitted myself again. Four classes this term, which are all interesting but fairly intense (one of them is actually a graduate-level class hahaha), Tuesday night gaming - I'm starting a campaign of my own up again, a comission for Mara-cookie I'm kind of tearing my hair out over, waiting to hear back from another job...I'd like to take a martial arts class but am terrified of looking like a total tool (and weeabo, out here - they don't joke about 'UBC' standing for 'University of a Billion Chinese' for nothing), and it would cut 'nights I can raid' down from like...two or three to none. I enjoy WoW, but...I think even with getting home before 7:30pm every night I still totally don't have the time for it.
QQ, fml, etc. I did get a little more writing down before the ennui and angst kicked in, so fic just needs some bits and pieces to connect the middle to the ending properly and some heavy editing. It is the longest piece of fiction I think I've written ever.

I took tai chi. I'm Irish. XD No one made fun of me, surprisingly. I can't quite say I fit in, but people were nice to me. If anything, I find that most Asian/non-white in general people are just happy that there are white people that give a damn about cultures other than their own... XD
And I'm sure I've overcommitted myself, like I always do. 4 classes, 3 of them English... sorority treasurer (I'm in a queer sorority, how badass is that?), another club, and I am applying to grad school in October... Plus, all the fic I'm writing. XD Oh and my job. lmao.
Aw, are you talking about the Tseng/Rufus? *grin*

Plus it would be two nights a week. But it's always something I've wanted to learn, and I really need to get exercise somewhere other than walking to the bus.
Man, that sounds like a sorority I'd actually join. I /almost/ ended up as treasurer for our gaming club, but then someone else with even less of life than me volunteered, so I let him take the fall. So two English classes, two Biology classes, tabletop and online RP, ridiculous amounts of sewing... XD
And yeah, the one I mentioned yesterday. Technically not really slash, although you could view it as the very beginning of that sort of relationship, I suppose.

Date: 2009-09-14 06:01 am (UTC)From:XD I'm the English major in my relationship. I also work as a writing tutor. Max is the one who always needs writing help. Though most of the time, he's too ashamed to ask. Silly boy. My trouble with writing is keeping things relevant in my stories XD Or keeping people in character.

Date: 2009-09-14 06:22 am (UTC)From:See, I do that, but mostly only on my blog - see the amount of time I spend here talking about cosplay and characterization stuff. My papers for class are usually lacking in detail, in contrast.

Date: 2009-09-14 07:01 am (UTC)From:Yeah, I know XD My parents both have advanced degrees (from Harvard, no less), so there's a certain amount of loving if unwanted pressure to do something big with my life which...does not help, haha.

Date: 2009-09-14 07:28 am (UTC)From:My parents are totally nerdy, which is awesome, but at the same time, the high standards - not so awesome. Particularly as I'm the oldest - my little bro gets of crazy easy compared to me.
