LOL I UNDERSTAND. Though it's ALWAYS better to have more than less because it's so much easier to take things out than to try and shove things in. I wish I can go into some deep plot planning, but sadly I don't have that kind of time anymore. Hopefully in the summer I'll get to do some more writing and reading, but for the most part right now I can't u ^ u

Haha yeah. When I was in high school I had so much time to kill and I was really bored in a lot of classes so I found myself just fleshing out characters to the max (all the way down to their little quips and quirks) and then the story lines had sub plots for all the characters. For this one story I even had a different set of notes for character arcs for ALL THE CHARACTERS. So it was crazy. Now I'm more of a let it grow writer since I don't have that kind of time. But I want to!

I'm a great visual person so I think if you work better under visual circumstances, then you would benefit from the notecards!

I actually drink black tea with milk and sugar if I want some caffeine in the morning because coffee is WAY too strong for me haha. But I haven't done that in a while. I've been buying a lot of white and herbal teas (yum). My naps are so long ahaha. I can sleep for like three hours for a nap and then get up and feel fine. It's a rare occurance that I take naps that are short of an hour.

I totally understand wanting to get everything out of the way! I used to be like that but I get too fidgety and restless that I HAVE to do this if I'm planning to do something for a long period of time. For instance I used to sew my costumes for hours on end when I had breaks. But I would play something on Netflix in the background so that I have something to gauge time and like when one or two episodes had passed I gave myself a third episode to break and then back to work. It's good because if I get too engrossed in something I won't eat or drink (which is really bad ;-;)

It definitely helps with keeping you focused and not feel overwhelmed at the same time. For me personally, it gives me time to lose focus and goof off for fifteen minutes before getting back into gear. I get really fidgety if I'm sitting for too long, so it helps with that.

I make lists ALL. THE. TIME. My memory is pretty bad now a days because I'm pulled in different directions and it's hard to keep focus on one thing, so I have to make To-Do lists all the time. It makes me keep on top of things!

Tea has always been a to go drink for me if I wanted something calming. Though usually I go for the herbal and white teas, I only have black tea if I want some caffeine.

I think you'll have fun with it! I definitely liked the book well enough and I think it's a good book to have a fun adventure on. The characters are pretty great. I think Alyssa had a great character arch and I'm curious to see where the series goes because I think this could've been a pretty good stand alone.

I hate people who control the lives of others. Let them make mistakes! Let them be who they want to be!!! Like he took away an amazing opportunity for her to go to London because he was supposed to go with his girlfriend? Like uhm... OK. Jeb is just too controlling and dadlike for me to see as a viable romantic partner.

I think that's what it was for me too! Morpheus is totally not a great guy by all means, but he believed in Alyssa and he trusted her in a way that Jeb didn't. He trusted Alyssa to make her own decisions and that's probably what made me like him even more.

HAHA. I think it would be a great movie. It definitely plays to it, but we already have a few Alice in Wonderland movies, I think it might not be a good idea pfff.

That reviewer articulated what I was thinking a lot better than I did haha. But my biggest annoyance is just that there's this whole blanket of "oh its the 80's so this racism is ok" and it's like no??? IT'S NOT?? It was just disgusting to be honest. I don't know man, there's just a lot of stuff I don't like in this book and the story for me is just not a well written one either.

I thought I was also alone on this one, but I'm really happy that I'm not lol.

Thank you! I actually am thinking about retiring these things. I love them to death, but I need a new "professional" pair of glasses. You should totally cosplay at ECCC! Doesn't matter if it's super serious, it's just really fun to do! My first cosplays weren't serious at all and then super perfectionist mode kicked in and I just couldn't help myself. My first cosplay was actually Sen from Mononoke what a coincidence! It's honestly one of the easiest cosplays I ever did so you did yourself a good one on picking that hahaha.

I definitely recommend watching The Wind Rises and Laputa Castle in the Sky. Honestly just watch all of the Miyazaki films. Ooh anime! Have you watched any recent ones? My boyfriend and best friend are really into One Punch Man! It's really funny and the action sequences are really cool. Though if you like a more slice of life one, I recommend Your Lie in April!

Ahaha don't worry you'll get through them. We all have really boring classes at one point. I have a few friends in Australia actually. I would love to go there for a little bit!
