I had curry rice for the very first time and am convinced it was a divine experience. We went to Okunoshima, a six hour trip there and back. We were mauled by rabbits.<\/li>\n<li>I have Scrivener now and have been making good progress on my novel\/novella\/Thing. First drafts still make me cringe, but every change I make only paves a way forward. I feel good. I feel like I&#8217;m actually armed with a machete to hack through the brush, instead of something like, you know, a twig.<\/li>\n<li>I submitted a flash piece somewhere. Is it weird that I&#8217;m excited to receive a potential rejection? I will probably frame it.<\/li>\n<li>My spotify playlist exploded. Ugh don&#8217;t make me list them, don&#8217;t make me list them DAMMIT: Sharon van Etten (always), Wild Nothing, Rammstein, Depeche Mode, M.I.A., Bj\u00f6rk, Cathedrals, London Grammar, System of a Down, Neon Indian, Blouse, Echo and the Bunnymen, Pastel Ghost, Crystal Castles, Abhi\/\/Dijon. And this band named Gesaffelstein, takes me right back to my 15-year old goth-child days, me with my spiked hair and pink fingerless gloves.<\/li>\n<li>Netflix. And by Netflix, I mean Breaking Bad binge-watching.<\/li>\n<li>How in the ever-loving god did I start watching anime again?<\/li>\n<li>Hello, I&#8217;m 26 and I like Inuyasha.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m 26 and I like Samurai Champloo.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t watch Ghost Adventures unless you want to be bored to sleep. Child, this is my advice to you.<\/li>\n<li>My favorite director is officially Hirokazu Koreeda. Watch &#8220;Nobody Knows&#8221; <em>twice<\/em> and you will cry for eight years.<\/li>\n<li>Bioshock 2&#8217;s multiplayer is a good stress reliever. Most days. <strong>When there&#8217;s no lag. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Also fun way to kill stress: lifting weights; leg press; hundreds of crunches on a big red balancing ball. I can go up to 300 now \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n<li>As of March, I went completely gluten-free for the sake of my skin. The hard part? Watching my boyfriend inhale all the food I can no longer eat: Graham crackers. Ramen. Fucking extra dark hershey bars, which are the only kind I care about.<\/li>\n<li>I read so many good books in the past year, oh my god. Don&#8217;t read my goodreads reviews because it&#8217;s basically me throwing up fangirly rainbows and hearts.<\/li>\n<li>Currently reading Jenine Cap<span class=\"st\">\u00f3<\/span> Crucet&#8217;s &#8220;How to Leave Hialeah.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>I have so much catching up to do, and it&#8217;s not just with books. I&#8217;m getting there. I&#8217;ll get there.<\/li>\n<li>Song playing right now: &#8220;Serpents&#8221; by Sharon van Etten. Some lyrics below:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>I was lost in the world. \/ You wanted me to run and I climbed instead. \/ Searching for the answers I will never find, \/ but that&#8217;s ok, \/ I know what I&#8217;m doing this time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Figured it was time for a visual rehaul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[13],"class_list":["post-108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-personal","tag-look-an-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=108"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":114,"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108\/revisions\/114"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.fightfayre.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
