Oh I'm a Class-A nerd and I'm okay...

...and if I end up writing a random filk of The Lumberjack Song on that subject, someone needs to commit me to an asylum.

But... alas, I have at last descended into the depths of complete nerddom.  My closest co-conspirator in the PPC, the lovely julyflame, was good enough to show me a site that had manga uploaded.  A site which I intend to take full advantage of.  At the moment, I'm just getting through OP. But...

Yes. Ph34r me.

Actually, it's just that... I don't know. It's like, it's a different medium from what I'm used to, you know? Like I'm not a huge comic book fan, but I adore sandman.  I guess it's just that I've been toying with Apocalypse!verse and the idea of using it as my experimenting ground. Like... my other various 'verses thus far are pretty straightforward, writingwise. Just standard sci-fi/fantasy books. But I'm trying a REALLY bloody weird style with Apocalypse!verse's first book, and may want to just... play with as many different storytelling methods as I can with it, y'know? Because that's what it is.  It's a world about telling stories as much as anything. (You can tell that I'm heavily, heavily influence by Gaiman and particularly Sandman.) I swore I wouldn't include things like this here, but this is a life development more than anything.

Because I'm going to investigate this other mode of storytelling. ...Besides, it's hilarious watching some of the expressions in manga. Like when people are like "Uhm, you can't do this..." Luffy: "Okay! *Darts off to do just that*" People: *FURYFACEWITHSHARPPOINTYTEETH* YOU IDIOT!

Luffy, btw, is a little... more stupid but sharper in the manga?  Like, he's a lot more prone to doing insane things, but he's... sharper. A lot sharper.  I like it.

BTW, in Boston 10th-13th of April. I'm getting really torn now.  And wondering just what I'll do when faced with certain choices I'm likely to have to make. Still, even if there isn't a choice... WHEE I HAVE THE BEST FALLBACK EVER. *DAAAAAAAAANCE*

But I need to go do math now, so I don't fail.

Tessa tomorrow!

EDIT: Mental note to self: Save Picture As ASAP, before I run out of time, and then do it as I read. 'Cause I CAN, and EEEEEHmanga. AKA Canon Reference! *Daaaance*

I think, in college, my order of language learning will be: Gaelic, Japanese.  'Cause I'm starting to pick up a word here and there, and it seems like a fun language.  Also, because I'm a nerd. (Example: I randomly started telling myself stories last night and using Shakespearean English to do it. As in, full proper grammar, with thees and thous and the whole nine yards. And it was SO PRETTY I nearly cried.)
