hiiii long time no see whoever is reading this. Im pretty bad at consistency as it is and ontop of school work and other bullshit and fun stuff going on I kinda forgot about this website until I remembered it one morning. So what has been happening? Well I wish I could tell you but I have the memory of a goldfish and all the stuff I could talk about is about personal stuff that I shouldnt share for the internet to see even if this is some obscure website no one cares about and I control everything doesnt mean I can disregard internet safety drilled into me.
Spring break is around the corner and I could not be any happier. School isnt entirely horrible, atleast usually not work wise. I get my assignments in and do my best and sometimes i struggle but I did well this year. The only thing I fear is that I mightve just been lucky this year as I feel like now Im as confused as I was at the beginning of first semester. Even then I am okay as of right now so no need to worry. The real exhausting part is just the day in general, and some classes. My morning period 1-4 classes are pretty chill aside from period 4 which I hate sometimes. Its gym and its not because Im some lazy bum who doesnt wanna do anything, its the people IN gym that sometimes annoy me. Luckily most of them are pretty chill and its mostly off moments, I still like participating. Some of them get a bit touchy which I tolerate like I do most of the time in school. I usually dont get mad at alot of stuff. Unlike my english class. My english class is full of people who think its funny to play music and then stop to try to get the teachers attention or making small noises or caressing my elbow or some shit and turn away as if nothing happened. It just peeves me and I dislike it. I come home tired mentally.
Enough of school, I have finished a book series and another book after all this time. I finished multiple books. I finished Wuthering Heights. Its an amazing gothic drama in my opinion, the characters and their interactions and their depths are the pinniacle of this book, i loved it. The book series I want to talk about which ive finished up till volume 8 is called Otherside Picnic, a "sci-fi" yuri book series, though slapping the term "Sci-Fi" kinda irks me. Due to the fact there was BARELY any sci-fi elements throughout the 8 novels. The basic premise of it is that theres a door to another dimension called "The Otherside" coined by the portagonist Sowaro, who is also the narrator of the books and everything is from her prespective. The Otherside is full of monsters and weird stuff that can relate back to internet urban legends (think like slender man and stuff but since this novel is based in Japan its Japanese online mythos instead of American online true ghost story myhtos) now (Spoilers kinda??) its revealed that the monsters on The Otherside simply take the form of these true ghost story characters in order to try and communicate with humans better. Now what irks me about this being called Sci-Fi is that it feels more supernatural than anything. The two main characters, Sowaro and Toriko both discuss what this could mean and its merely POSSIBLE that this could be aliens or something, but it isnt really sci-fi or anything, and honestly it feels more supernaturalish most of the time anyway. Does this take away from the story being good? No, I enjoyed it, but I was expecting more Sci-Fi elements, though maybe my sci-fi reads simply arent branched out enough plus its written in Japan, cant expect Japanese Sci-Fi to be like American Sci-Fi. The final book I wanted to speak about is called "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a colombian novel detailing the multiple generations of the Buendia family and the fictional town of Macondo. This story is merelt beautiful and speaks on the cyclical nature of humanity. It uses magical realism in order to represent and exaggerate different things and symbolize stuff such as belief, purity, and lunacy even. I would reccomend giving it a read, its a bit complicated with the family names and trees but a worthy read imo. The book im currently reading as of right now is Dante Alighieri's Inferno, the first in the Divine Comedy, detailing Dante himself and his guide, famous poet Virgil, on their journey through hell. Im not that far into it as of the moment but im enjoying it so far, I will give the other two books, Purgatorio and Paradiso, a try in the future once i get my hands on them. (or download them on my kindle for free) Thats the end of my ramblings for now, it feels so good to write on this blog, i dont know why i stopped updating, my mind feels more clearer now after I rambled on and vented out some of my frustrations. Its hot as hell in my room right now and 11:48 PM, good night. My fingers are getting tired from typing on this huge ass keyboard this entire ramble plus the coding I did for the overhaul. I wont promise it and will probably go away for a bit until I remember this website but ill keep it updated. Bye bye from Retr0
also Voyager is my main and favorite Reverse:1999 character!
