Running From Short Sleeves

Forgive me readers for I have fallen behind, it's been a month since my last post. While I don't really have any excuses other than the fact that I've been doing other things (not more important, not less, just other) and I haven't had many interesting things to blog about. I also don't feel particularly bad about it.

I think a few witty remarks, an anecdote or two, and a cool video should absolve me of my neglect.

So spring is upon us, and while many people think of this as a joyous time with no school, running through sprinklers, going on sunny vacations, unattractive men feeling the need to wear no shirts, and waking up to the sun instead of an alarm clock. For me, though, this hot weather is only a symbol of the season where I can no longer cover myself in layers of winter clothing and I am forced to wear (I can't even say it without gagging on my own saliva)... short sleeves! Oh the humanity! My crippling self-consciousness always comes into full bloom and it doesn't help when stick figures wearing only a bandana and a smile parade proudly by.

Anyways, here's a video:



Here's another one:



So what am I into at the moment, you ask? Well, thank you for asking, your interest in my life is very flattering and only slightly unsettling.

I have formed a keen interest in soap operas, as you already know, and my fascination has somewhat grown. I've progressed from watching the American soap "As The World Turns", to the British soap "Hollyoaks", to the German soap "Verbotene Liebe". I think my fascination stems from how (despite being from various countries) they all seem to work from the same playbook/formula, all while making it so incredibly addicting at the same time. They are laughable and overly dramatic, but strangely entertaining. Don't judge me.

Oh and spring session has started. I have prepared my soul for complete and total extraction by the end of this semester.

Douleur.
