The past few days, I haven’t been sleeping. Haven’t been able to, really. And the number of hours I’d get would just keep dwindling and dwindling, from 5 to 3 to…so on. I was never tired or exhausted – couldn’t nap or even fall asleep during car rides – but the random headaches were worst. Even if my eyes were closing on me at my desk, once I got to bed I was wide awake again. Not even thinking about anything, but I was awake all the same. So I eventually gave up.
My parents aren’t panicking any more, at least. Though mom keeps pushing her “you just have to stop thinking so much” thing at me, like how she pushed the “you can’t do this! You’re young, you should be happy, you have lots of time ahead of you,” at that friend. I shouldn’t get bitter at her for that, though, because it’s what all people without the experience or training say. Sadly. No excuse for ignorance.
I’m a pretty sad person, sigh. Either way, I seem to finally be tiring myself out, so whatever.
We went out to see Hancock here, but I forgot that as it was a global release, that meant that they'd probably done the dub in time for it...and since we went to a smaller theater, not the one that does show English movies undubbed because of the expatriates...sob. We didn't know it was a Chinese dub until the movie started, and then me and my brother basically went "...oh, fuck." My parents asked if we wanted to leave, but whatever, we stuck it out. I mean, I could understand all of the main stuff, just none of the subtleties and only 40-50% of the jokes. The whole experience was irritating. And this makes me think that all Chinese female VAs/actresses' voices suck miserably, from everything I've heard so far. Is the flitty, flute-y, freaking annoying voice just that popular?! D: Sigh, otherwise. Dad was all "see that helped you practice your Chinese!" but lakdjg. It seemed pretty good from what I saw though, and holllllly shit Charlize Theron, but yeah, I have to go find an English version now. -_-
Yes, I’ve finished quite a few series over the past 1.5 months. Well, quite a few for me, at any rate, considering I don’t get into a lot. ( Non-spoilery babble for La Corda d'Oro, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Ghost Hunt 8D )
But yes, after all of those series. Mmmmmn Naru. See, there’s an emotionally retarded character that I like. I dunno – Dex was baffled when I said I didn’t like Tsukimori (initially; yes, blasphemy, whatever) or Yunoki or a bunch of characters who again are supposed to be my favorites. Everyone should just give up on pegging me because what I watch and who I like, I have discovered, are entirely unpredictable. :D Ouran’s still the biggest case of that. There wasn’t a single person who didn’t think that Kyouya would have been my favorite, but he doesn’t even rank up there for me ._.
Eh, though, okay, yeah, sometimes who I don’t like surprises me as well. I actually thought I’d like Tsukimori a lot more. Naru didn’t surprise me. XD I didn’t think I’d like Kahoko, nor Mai. Then again, I’ve realized that most of the characters whom I absolutely love and adore…are ones who I’d absolutely hate, loathe, and detest in real life. If I met a real Hei, I’d probably run far and wide. I would probably have glaring matches with Naru. Fill in every other favorite character of mine in those blanks as well. Even the girls…well, it wouldn’t be that problematic, and I think I’d get along nicely with Haibara, but I think I’d see them like the second lunch table next to us. That’s all. I dunno, is this strange? 8D What can I say…characters whom I don’t have to interact with are one thing, but I won’t deal with them in real life.
Oops, haven’t effectively studied Japanese or Chinese all week. I guess that goal of getting fluent in Chinese over the summer is definitely going to go straight out the window…*headdesk x 100*
I should also probably stop being depressed and an insomniac. Though I’ll never take that suggestion of antidepressants and sleeping pills. Ever.
Hm, I feel like changing my tags system. It's horribly and unnecessarily convoluted. I really am meticulous, to have a numbering system in there. -____-
