Summary:

The Garrison has their ways of dealing with problem cadets. Shiro learns this.

Despite Sunday being hot, everything went well. It was so fun to see everyone at the local anime convention who dressed up in cosplay. There were 2 Vash (stampede variety), an Envy, Reki and Langa, as well as Shredder and April O'Neil from TMNT (not sure from which series - maybe OG animation?). Anyway, lots of cosplayers, which was cool. I didn't get a chance to walk artist alley but we got set up done and performed for the closing ceremonies. The crowd was so energetic!

I have been the creative director for this drum group since October 2016. It's only been the last year or so that I finally feel comfortable in my role and confidence in it as well. I feel that reflects on the group as well. 

Slowly getting through my current project of adding my 'mark for later' to my Notion list. I am hoping AO3 has corrected today's issue by the time I get home so I can continue. Once that's done, my next goal is to go through the files I have saved (fics and then ebooks) and get things organized in Calibre. It's a full on hobby saving fanfiction LOL

This week is fairly mild. There's drum practice Tuesday and Thursday and then Saturday is the street fair we open for. It will be a hot one but at least we are early in the afternoon, at 11:30am. After that I have two practices with some bon odori dancers for the local Buddhist church's Obon festival on August 6th. But other than that, the street fair should be the last full taiko performance until September.

So there will be another lull so maybe we might get some new members and I can get them trained by the next festival. We shall see.

 The last few months has me remembering dreams that have 9 times out of 10 featured in some way my old major high school crush. He's shown up in quite a few over the course of the last couple of years and I thought I was over him (again). THEN tiktok's algorithm brought up a few of those non-tagged videos where someone reads tarot for you and saying that someone is preparing to enter into my life and my brain goes to him. I doubt I'll ever see him again in this life but I don't know why he's persisted. Or at least the idea of him has persisted. Maybe it was the brief reconnection in the mid-2010s, pre-friend break up of hell that fucked me up, but I know that I was probably not what he wanted despite him spilling the details of what he was looking for during the lunch we had.

Anyway, he's been on my mind as a result and those damn tiktoks lol.

I guess the main reason why he sticks with me is because he is an idea. The closest I possibly got to getting a partner, which doesn't mean anything because I haven't actually ever dated anyone. Plus there is absolutely no one in my life right now that am interested in and haven't for many many years. In addition to my personal understanding of my own identity that has changed since then. I'd love to see him again. Even just to hang out. We were friends in high school, post my confession to him (he was waiting for college lol). Went to a couple movies, he helped me and my family move. 

Lots of memories. 

I'm not even sure I want to be with anyone anymore but I would still consider him. Even if we were just platonic partners lol

I need to get over him. I'm not even sure I'm still on him, other than he persists in my goddamn dreams LOL

I had the desire to watch one of my favorite genres of film, which is disaster films and end of the world/apocalyptic films so I did a search for those top however many disaster or end of the world or something and made a list of those I wanted to see or curious about.

I figure I'll add on to this post as I watch. Maybe I'll keep doing it or maybe I'll not. Who knows. So far I have 55 in my list. Some are my favorites and some unknown to me.

Follow along if you wish. First eight were on tumblr and moving forward, the rest will be cross-posted [Original post on tumblr].

Summary:

One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)
