1. I played so much league. LoL is life-consuming, and because I have much better internet when I'm not at school, I magically become so much better at LoL because I'm no longer playing with 200 ping. I think I just enjoyed being better at the game, and I was able to play with my friends a lot more. My rank is officially "I am not shit at this game"
2. Caught up with friends many times
- Saw the Ghostbusters movie. It was silly, but delightfully so. Though my friend did comment that I was like some kind of "laughter slut", laughing at literally everything in the movie. I didn't think I was that bad, but maybe I am too easily amused by the wrong things.
- Played Articulate one night, that was fun. It's like, pictionary with words? So you have something that you have to describe to your team, and your team must guess what it is. I think you're not allowed to spell it out, say it starts with a certain letter, or say "it sounds like __". But we bend the rules a bit, and on that night I learnt who "Francis of Assisi" was.
- Played cards and other silly board games with other friends. There was one about exploding kittens, which I think is a variation of UNO. Then we played coup- and I really hate that fucking game, because I keep losing. It's not even that I'm terrible at lying, it's just that when I lie, I don't even know WHY I should lie, or what my end goal is.
3. Played too much Pokemon Go. It's the new hype, but I gotta say it's a fucking terrible game. There's just...nothing to DO most of the time, and it took me like, an hour, to discover it was more efficient to camp at the library, where there are 3 pokestops and permanent lures, as opposed to walking around town looking like a tool. Except, I had so much fun the first couple of days, just playing it on my own. I was so keen I left the house for an hour or two JUST TO PLAY POKEMON. It was kind of unreal- I never had that much enthusiasm for outdoorsy stuff.
4. Then I ended up mountain climbing with one of my best friends. I tripped and left myself with a bruise on the back of my foot, I also managed to crack my phone screen, but luckily I got that fixed the same day. It was worth it though, because it was actually super-duper fun, and I got to play more Pokemon on the way. Found a wild Aerodactyl and Rapidash. It's sad that they took away the tracking option in Pokemon Go, I saw the silhouette of a wild snorlax only yesterday, but I had no idea where the fuck it was.
5. I went clubbing for the first time, and it was as miserable as I expected it to be. My feet were sore, the music was probably ruining my hearing, and when I saw the other kids having fun I just felt... out of it. Like, it wasn't my idea of a good evening or good fun. The alcohol tasted like medicine, except it's not even good for my health. I think I should just accept that I'm better off listening to an orchestra or watching a play, as opposed to going clubbing. I have no idea why my friends are so into it. They say it's easier to pick up girls- and I dare say it is, because the bass gives you the illusion that your heart is beating fast, and the adrenaline rush mimics the feeling of being in love or having a crush. The rising temperature, grinding bodies on the dance floor, plus all the alcohol- undoubtedly, it is easy to pick up girls. But you know what you also pick up? STDs, unwanted pregnancies, and regret the next morning because you're with someone you wouldn't have been with, if you even had a half-decent conversation with her. I guess if you're into one-night stands and just a "good time", sure, but for my friend who swears he's after "true love" and "long term relationships", it seemed awfully dumb.
6. My main regret is that I didn't draw as much as I wanted, and I didn't play piano as much as I wanted to. I worked a bit more on a song, but it really wasn't much. What I need is constant practice, which unfortunately I don't do often, because it's harder to access a piano up here now.
7. Oh, I watched some anime and binged some manga. Re-Life was pretty good. I won't say really good, because it wasn't anything special, but it was enjoyable. It's kind of scary how now I'm into all the seinen material, whereas when I was in my teens, I was shounen only. I mean, yeah I'm getting old and I've shifted off the target audience, but I don't like being reminded that I'm getting old. I say "getting old", but I'm actually incredibly young compared to a lot of the people I work with, and because I'm so fucking clueless these days, I just earn zero respect. I guess it's better than being old an clueless, because then it'd take a lot more effort to learn, and people would look at you like you're retarded, as opposed to just inexperienced. I guess my problem is, if I don't speak with confidence (and I rarely do have confidence in myself, unless I know I'm at 90-100%), then people kinda shit on me and assume I know 0%, when in reality I'll know about 70%.
I better go make up the other 30% now. Holidays are over, after all.
