So it’s getting pretty scary that I don’t have a job yet. Hope somebody calls me back, geez D: More resumes to go out tomorrow woo!
But on to less stressful things. 
In my large amounts of free time (I MISS CRAZYLOSTSTAR) I’ve been watching some Kyo Kara Maoh and Junjou Romantica. Junjou turned out to be one of the more enjoyabe BL anime (with a potential second season, depending on how the DVD sales go), though its main couple is the only one that seems to have any substance for me. The other two relationships, while somehow intertwined with the first, just don’t connect on a realistic or emotional level. They have stories and backgrounds to accompany them, but their reactions and personalities often don’t make any sense. This anime also offers a healthy dose of “I’m going to throw you on the bed, and you’re going to fight me, even if you just said you wanted this,” which gets uncomfortable.
Seriously, it’s still hot if both parties consent. You don’t have to simulate force/protest every time, all the time.
Still hoping for a second season, though.
During other hours, I installed Mabinogi in my WoW withdrawal, searching for some game to play that my laptop could handle. It has some interesting turn-based fighting, and some remarkably realistic animal animations, but hell if its difficulty doesn’t spike. I uninstalled it.
Next up was Maple Story, but I just can’t navigate it. If you want to do quests in other cities, you either have to come up with the incredible (at low levels) sum of money to be teleported, or you have to somehow walk there, but being 2-dimensional, you can’t avoid the mobs in your way, so you’d never get there if you’re low level, trying to do other low-level quests. I don’t know if I’ll keep Maple Story either.
Finally broke down and used crazyloststar’s computer to log in to WoW, remembering the time limit on mailbox items, but I’d already lost everything in there–mostly auction items that didn’t sell, but also auction money from things that might have sold after I listed them before I left. Grumble grumble. That’s a lot of gold. Ended up killing a few hours with a lowbie rogue that seems to kill things a lot more slowly than rogues ought to.
So envious of her video card. 8D;
I can’t wait to have a job so I can buy things again. Like furniture and computer parts! Ooooooooo.
