1. Who was your first kiss?: Mike Wayt. There was a spark for me, no idea if he felt it. It usually means a person is one of your soulmates.

2. Who is the last person you kissed?: Craig Owens. Long time ago, I kept falling in his mouth and it pissed him off. I can't help I have a tiny mouth, yeesh.

3. What is the story of your most romantic kiss? No idea, it would be Mike Wayt. He taught me how to kiss kinda. My next adventure is my fiancee.

4. What is the story of your worst kiss?: Nick Blackburn. Zero chemistry.

5. Who do you want to kiss right now?: Josh, my Fiancee.

I’ve been wondering if I want to share my random ramblings here. Not because of any sort of worry that it doesn’t suit my journal (what else are journal for?), but because most of my rambles are well. Not researched or anything. And I don’t wanna just have some half-baked rant on here for everyone to judge me on, but I don’t know if I have the motivation to verify that I wasn’t talking out of my ass. Thinking I’ll settle for access locking the rambles… I trust that the people who have access will not jump to bullying me if I’m actually being really stupid.

Yet Again, Stuff-

First, last quarter's JFF movies!

No Longer Heroine - I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. It's a delightfully meta movie about a high school girl who's always been in love with her friend and how she's always expected to end up with him despite never telling him her interest. There are a few too many subplots, but everyone was a joy.

Teiichi - Battle of Supreme High - this was a good movie but I also didn't really like it, if that makes sense? Basically an over the top story about student council elections.

My Love Story!! - live action version of the manga, makes a few changes for format but overall the same story and a lot of fun.

Handball Strive - about the power of social media in an area still recovering from the 2011 earthquake, and friendship, and ooof, social media.

Bento Harassment - this is the genre of generational conflict movies that turn up a lot, and it even has the required parent getting sick, etc. There is so much delicious food, though and one unresolved subplot that's a little maddening.

Megane Glasses - a slow movie about nothing and the middle of nowhere and just... finding one's own pace. (Also food.)

Restaurant from the Sky - this is about a man and cheese, but also food and mourning and family and community. Peak culture drama, tbh, but I feel like it's a hard genre to recommend movies in because things happen but quietly.

As usual, I am procrastinating on this quarter's movies. ^^;;

School of Rock - haven't seen this since it came out but my father picked up a copy and saw it for the first time and then insisted I watch it. Still good!

Majestic Prince (full series + movie) - this is an anime about giant robots and fighting aliens and it is tropey and ridiculous and Absolutely Understood The Assignment.

Flying Witch 12 & 13 (Chihiro Ishizuka) - I sometimes worry when otherwise chill manga, especially slice of life(ish) series, get past about volume 9... But Flying Witch is still full of ridiculous charm and these volumes were great.

The Dragon Knight's Beloved 8 (Ritsu Aozaki, Asagi Orikawa, Akito Ito) - wraps up an arc and see above, the next volume is going go be make-or-break for the series keeping my interest. The leads are still super-cute though.

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! - this was recommended and it was pretty good. I like series about fans and media creation, and I liked how the real world blended with what was being created or what could be created. Unsure about hanging onto it, though. (For now?)

Finally, the long, lingering bitter cold has ended! It is actually supposed to be above freezing basically every day for at least a week. Work was noticeably warmer last night! I will hopefully no longer be spending all my extra energy just trying to stay warm! I do seem to have picked up a mild cold, alas, but so far it just seems to be minor congestion.

I finished up Yoroi Samurai Troopers (though watching the dub as Ronin Warriors, this time around) after many attempts over the years, and then paid up for Crunchyroll to watch the sequel. (Which is amazing so far.) Since I'm going to be paying for CR for the next bit, if anyone has any recommendations for series to watch, I'm all ears. I do want to watch the Apothecary Diaries and there are a couple of Gundam series on there that don't have physical releases.

Aside from trying to stay warm and watching brightly-colored nobs, I'm still working on various models, archiving stuff, and sorting through notebooks and papers. I'm trying to do some notebook consolidation, especially with various notebooks with only a handful of pages left in them that I was keeping for a few rogue notes.

I also found an old organizer that has a bunch of lines pages that I'm using for daily to-do lists. The kicker is that it's a 2019-2020 student organizer, so like July-June, but the blank pages in it start in March 2020 and there's just nothing written after that. Owww... (I mean, I still make March 2020 jokes so... I guess this is fair.)
