Blargh, I lost what I had so far of my Natural Selection Exercise paper, so now I have to start over. I mean, I wasn't that far anyway, but it still sucks.
Got ユンナ's TEENS -song collection- album today and imported it into my library, which I'm pretty excited about because it has ほうき星, 手をつないで, and the Japanese version of Password 486 (titled, appropriately enough, パスワード486-日本語version-), which are all songs I enjoy.
Anime Pulse uploaded some sort videos from Sakura Con, and I must say Ichigo looks kinda funny in that suit and with his hair slicked back (not with grease or anything, though).
[EDIT: On looking over the instructions for paper more carefully, I realized I did the larger part of what I had already done wrong anyway, so I guess it's not such a loss.]
[EDIT 2: You know, I really enjoy my bukatsu, but at the same time sometimes I feel that it's too passive to really be considered any real katsudou. Not that bukatsu really matters in the U.S., but I had that in junior high and high school (math team, mainly, and sports outside of school), and I really enjoyed it, even if I wished I had put more into it. So yeah, part of it is that my socializing at M.A.S. leaves something to be desired, but I still have my friends there, and I'm not completely anti-social during breaks. But there's also something about, well, sitting quietly for 3 of 3.5 hours that, while enjoyable and something I definitely don't want to give up, also isn't very fulfilling. (And yes, I know that's what social nights are for, but even then my anti-social tendencies get the best of me, and... I dunno.)
So yeah, I kinda want to join a sport club at the U. I mean, technically I'm a member of the University Badminton Club, although I haven't gone to a single practice ever. Maybe I should start actually attending that? Sweat some of that perspiration of youth before I'm no longer a wakamono. Or I could start attending the Twin Cities Go Club meetings more? Even though I suppose that wouldn't give me much of an opportunity to socialize with people my own age.

[EDIT 3: Sometimes when I talk to Patrick I really sense that it's good that I'm not still with him. I think I was probably attracted to his constant optimism, but sometimes it just strikes me as... irresponsible and childish.
Nastassja
is jenny your pastor?
Patrick
One of two
She's the really wonderful one
Eric - the other - is kind of depressing
Nastassja
in what ways?
Patrick
lol
He talks about sad stuff?
Struggling with faith
Lots of pain in life
Guilt
His Easter sermon was about GUILT
And he said some interesting stuff, but... Yeah
Like, perhaps some people do focus on the negative too much, and perhaps this other pastor goes too far in that direction, but if I were religious I would find it just as spiritually irresponsible to always talk about hope and joy as to always talk about the difficulties of life and the ways in which we fall short. That said, I'm not very good with heavy stuff either, but sometimes I think Patrick goes too far and is too active about avoiding it. This is something I think I've always noticed, and it's one of those really deep yet intangible things which creates a bigger rift between two people than one might expect.]

Tee hee.]
