Cake is back from hiatus.
Goodness knows why.
I haven't really been anywhere, or done anything, and I don't know if anyone still uses lj, but...
LJ,
I... I missed you.
ू(; ॄ;ू๑)
I um, also have, like, three tumblrs now. I might get another one for drawing, too.
Whyyyyyyy.
(That's not where I've been spending my internet time, btw. Not on twitter, either).
[INSERT TUMBLRS HERE]
Anywhoop, instead of catching up on CurrentCake, let's just take a peek at whatever was in this saved draft from whenever ago.
I sure have some odds, bodds and ends:
♛ 13 punctuation marks that you never knew existed
♛ The Museum of Obselete Objects
♛ Peeps are building the Babbage Analytical Engine, a computer from the 1830's
♛ This shop made their floor out of pennies. Like, literally glued hundreds of pennies to the floor, instead of using, I don't know, a roll of carpet.
♛ Sedlec Ossuary, Kostnice. A church MADE OF BONES. Made. Of. Bones.
It's amazeballs. Hit it up on images!Google, yo.
Catherine Feeny - Mr. Blue
The happs:
⚜ moving house at some point
(therefore the house must be Spick And Span At All Times and sometimes I get kicked out so strangers can wander through it. It's rather trying).
⚜ bought a ukulele, have yet to find the time to do more than tune it
⚜ discovered how to order things from 6% Dokidoki. This is a trap. As soon as I have enough money, I'm blowing about $500 on this. No regrets.
⚜ don't actually have any money ever. Not really sure why, but it might have to do with medicine and bills. I have enough to play, but this is the first week in months that I've had money actually in my account. What.
⚜ don't have any time ever. I'm somehow not counting all the nights I dick around on the internet.
⚜ bought a bunch of stuff, waiting excitedly for my copy of Sfeer Theory, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Revolution, Cucumber Quest, Rose somethingorother Versailles release...
Plus, ponies. All the ponies.
Yesterday I bought more DS games. Have I played my DS for more than five minutes in the past four months? No.
But they were Avatar TLA games....
⚜ been enjoying my Samsung Galaxy SII, which I have named Sandwich.
⚜ working at the café every day, since my units don't run this semester. Will graduate next semester and proceed to (a) freak the fuck out, (b) move to Japan?
⚜ D&D. I am still terrible at this. But Corbie is growing as a person! I was against this at first; I am a bad person.
I received RAINBOW dice for my birthday, so I'm looking forward to rolling something above a 2 next time we battle. It will be the first time, ha ha ha.
⚜ went to the doctor about the depression.
He at least took me seriously from the beginning, but I feel a bit like...
the things wrong with me are so minor. All dietary related, basically. Like, the microflora in my guts were out of balance. Possibly my neurons are sluggish or my adrenaline is out of whack, but he didn't mention that on Monday and I forgot to ask. I kind of wish that was the case, so I could feel like there was really something wrong with me.
But it is costing me ALL THE MONEY.
Like, a billion boonbucks.
I've spent over $1,000 in (herbal??) medicines, vitamin things, tests and appointments. In the space of two months. I take about 14 pills in the morning, no joke.
⚜ Back at Lindy Hop / swing dancing.
It's fun; I wish I could be back at my old level though, where I was in the advanced class and not just doing swingouts forever.
Alyssa and Ben are ♡so lovely♡ though. I always get admiration-crush things on my swing teachers, because they're always so cool~~
⚜ catchin' up with bros pretty often.
kind of made a new (old) friend, which is neat.
keep missing the lolita meetups, though :/
Had my birthday party last weekend, and it was FAN☆TAB☆U☆LOUS.
There were bubbles, pass the parcel, a CASTLE MADE OF JELLY, facepaint, rainbow dinosaur biscuits, lots of friends, juice boxes, Eurovision semi's, and lots of wonderful friends ♥
⚜ Korea. Did I mention Korea? I was there for two months? Yeah, that was pretty boss.

reading
The number of books I'm reading at once, has increased to truly ridiculous numbers.
☆ The Pillow Book - Sei Shonagon. (Makura no Soshi). Since the longest section is about four pages, this is my lunch-break thing, since my lunch break is only 15 minutes.
I'm still blown away by how much I can relate to someone from 1000 years ago, in a totally different culture.
I'm going to redo that meme, guys.
☆ Oh! My God!! 原宿ガール - Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. I've read, like, five pages of this. Less incentive to power through when I need a dictionary for every fourth word.
☆ Science: a history - John Gribbin. The reason this turns up on my reading list so often is that yes, it has just taken me about two years to get through. I basically forget about it for six months and then marathon it for like a week.
☆ Children's Encyclopaedia of Dinosaurs - Michael K. Brett-Surman
☆ Dinosaurs: a field guide - Gregory S. Paul
☆ An Edwardian Guide to Life - Cornelia Dobbs. Legit written in the Edwardian era, which, apparently, was only ten years long. Who knew. Well, apart from people who know anything about history, I mean.
☆ The Book of Human Skin - Michelle Lovric. Still don't want to touch it. Still hate all the characters. Still only a third in. Still can't bear to actually just stop reading it.
☆ The Shadow Theif - Alexandra Adornetto. Mediocre children's' book.
☆ The Tough Guide to Fantasyland - Dianna Wynne Jones
☆ Evelina - Frances Burney. A classic literature.
☆ Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild. A quaint children's book.
☆ The Annotated Brothers Grimm - Maria Tatar. All the fairytales. OMG. This book.
☆ BL manga on free manga websites. oh my god, so much porn, www. But I've found some gems:
☆ Anything by ぢゅん子 (Junko, but spelt in a quirky way). Especially Kasa no Shita, Futari and Starlike Words.
☆ re-read Unidentified Friendship Objective again, because it is everything I ever want from a feel-good short story and s2b2.
☆ Going to re-read Cry Havoc by Muun again, because I get withdrawls like whoa. I can't wait until this is published, so I don't have to re-read the same couple of snippets over and over.
☆ HOMESTUCK
HOMESTUCK
HOMESTUCK
I have no words.
I'm in... act 6, I think. The kids are just starting to catch up to the trolls, after a chapter of troll exposition.
I HAVE NO WORDS.

watching
Almost as many things as I've been reading. And I have yet to finish any of them.
ರ_ರ;
★ Adventure Time
★ Once Upon a Time
★ Season2 of AGOT (not having seen season1, ha ha)
★ MLP:fim
★ Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
★ Korra
★ Mawaru Penguin Drum
★ Baccano!
★ Muppets Tonight
★ Cardcaptor Sakura - in Japanese without subs (mostly). I can basically understand everything, because it is a show for nine-year-old girls, and I have seen it all in English and read the manga like three times...
Still just a little impressed with myself, though.
★ Community season3. Man, it got weird. It got weird.
★ I've seen about three episodes of New Girl: Jess, and it's pretty bad, but I have such a crush on the main character, played by Zooey Deschanel. The plug for the show literally says Jess is "adorkable". That's my favourite word, guys.
This will do for now. Yup.
