My Favorite Type of Manga


Hello. My last day of school was Thursday, May 26, 2022. Today is Sunday, May 29, 2022. I've only spent two days out of school, but it feels like much longer. I've found myself quite bored at home. However, two good things have happened. On Friday, I went to my school's graduation which was awesome. I got to see the seniors one last time. That same Friday, I began to read a manga called Arakawa Under the Bridge, which is now on the list of my favorite manga (which can be found on the sidebar underneath "Favorites ^_^"). I absolutely LOVED it! I completed the manga yesterday. 410 chapters went by like nothing! Wow. I love manga with absurd characters, like Beelzebub and Hinamatsuri. Actually, I believe I found this manga looking for series like Hinamatsuri because I loved it so much. Right now, I'm reading Genshiken, but I'm not really feeling it. I'm going to drop it and go back to looking for manga which give me the same wacky vibes as Arakawa Under the Bridge, Hinamatsuri, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, Beelzebub, and the like. 

I'm watching Stranger Things Season 4. I am so scared lol. My favorite season was Season 3. I'm looking forward to how this season goes. The villain, Vecna, is extremely disturbing to me. If I saw him, I would just crumble into dust. I wouldn't scream, I wouldn't panic, I'd just spontaneously combust. I'd cease to exist. 

My mom is in Togo right now. I am looking forward to her return. This is really my last summer as a high school student. Wow. This time next year, I will be 18 years old and a high school graduate. I've accepted that I am growing up. I'm actually looking forward to graduating now, simply for the robe, the ceremony, and all the attention I will get. It's also likely that I will be Val/Sal and/or Star Student (highest SAT/ACT), so that's even more special attention. I just love attention and I'm not afraid to say it. My senior year is going to be great, I know it. I am going to be not just okay, but great and awesome and just happy and joyful.

Currently, I am feeling like crap, but I know it's because I'm bored stuck at home. I just need to arrange hangouts with my friends. I'm also seriously considering getting a job. Of course I want money, but my main motivation right now is having something to do. Sitting at home makes me feel so depressed lol. I need something to replace school. I have no idea what to do with myself at home. I do not like summer lol. Most students look forward to summer and the end of the school year, but I absolutely dread it. I don't know how to function without the pressure and stress of school everyday. I don't know how to function by myself, for myself. I know that's the actual problem that I should solve, but I have no clue how to. I also get depressed on week-long breaks from school for the same reason. Well, whatever. Anyways, I'd really like to be a babysitter. I like kids, and kids like me back because I get on their level instead of playing like I'm big. I'm going to try and find some babysitting gigs. I'd prefer that over working retail because my schedule is more flexible. I don't think that I can handle the commitment of that type of job. I absolutely despise any sort of commitment. I do not want people to rely on me in any form or fashion. I could not be a mother as I would not want to be responsible for a small child. I feel like a baby of mine would just die. I don't want to birth kids anyways. I want to adopt older kids since they're usually overlooked. In that case, I'd do my best to care for them and connect with them. I just could not do a small child because there are too many ways for me to mess that up. This post went all over the place, but I guess they always do. That's just how I speak, as well as how my mind works. I'm going to go look up babysitting jobs near me.

Elvis, 2022 - ★★★★★

Baz Luhrmann, you are my guy 4L. What an awesome movie. I'm sickened by the level of greatness that movie possessed. But I mean, who can be surprised? This was a Baz Luhrmann film after all. Austin Butler put his SOUL into his performance as Elvis Presley. What a beautiful film. Super duper kudos to the whole cast and crew. And I give a special shoutout to makeup as well as the editing crew. They did their thing! I know some will have complaints about the extravagance of the film, but 1) it's about Elvis, what did you expect? and 2) It's a Baz Luhrmann film, what did you expect? Baz Luhrmann was the perfect guy to make an Elvis movie, he completely gets how to put on a show, just like EP himself. - Letterboxd http://dlvr.it/STHvDQ

Vogue: An Ode To The Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag

  This image is from the Vogue article,  An Ode To The Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag . I think it's such a lovely photo. I bought my own MJ tote bag today, yasss! It is so beautiful!!! I got The Small Tote Bag in Black . After tax, it cost 210.60. I only have 9.33 left lol. I have 30 more bucks on the way, but 39.33 still isn't much. This summer I have  to get a job. I want more Marc Jacobs tote bags. I also want clothes, so I really need the money. My odd jobs are inconsistent so I can't rely on that to buy bags which cost over 200 after tax. Now, here are some general updates: - Today, I watched Brightburn, as well as Sparky and Micaela and Hamster PSA, so that's 3 more parts of James Gunn's filmography I've completed. - Right now, I am watching Movie 43. I really like it! This is so funny lol.

Yet the Town Keeps Going

In my May 31 post titled "Being Weird", I said, "Now that I've completed Stranger Things, I don't really know what to do. I've been reading  this new manga , and I like it, but I'm not obsessed with it. It's fun, that's all. It's not like Arakawa Under the Bridge, or the series I read last summer where I spent every waking moment on them. I don't think there are many more series out there that can consume me the way the stuff I read last summer did.". Here is an update on that manga. The manga is called Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru or SoreMachi for short. In English, the name is Yet the Town Keeps Going, but I like to call it SoreMachi. I read it from May 29 to June 5, and I totally loved it. At the beginning, I was not obsessed, but as I read further I could not put it down. At first, I felt it was going by slowly, but eventually, it started speeding by and I was at the final chapter (138.5) in a flash. 139 chapters went by like noth...
