fitiaSine wave of a mood I've been having these past few weeks. But today, I'm riding the high of a delightful weekend spent in Paris for Easter, so I've found the energy to write (a bit) in the public journal again!
That's it for me now, I think. Hoping to read more books and watch new movies and create more art this month! Last month I only managed to read a couple short stories.
- COMPLETED MY FIRST WRITING PROJECT THIS YEAR JDSFHJSDKJFSD YESSSSSS. Very happy with myself! I'm really glad for the fan gift exchange I participated in for forcing me to finish something on a deadline. I do look at the fic I wrote and think that I could do better, but I am mostly satisfied with it, and have gotten some positive responses to it. It's really encouraged me to start dusting off WIPs and making an effort to finish them.
- I am still mostly listening to K-Pop, and hoping that I get over it soon. Not that the actual music is the problem: I typically listen to a huge amount of K-Pop anyways because I like the songs! It's just that now I've started caring about the idols too, and I've become so repulsed by stanning/celebrity culture that I wish the affection would just dissipate on its own...
- Actually, speaking of BTS... they really just released their best-looking music video in a while to pair with what is objectively the worst song on their new album. Have I ever had a single win with this group since 2020. At least the choreo for 2.0 is fun.
... that is, after I watch BTS's interview on Hot Ones this Thursday. And then I'll move on. I need to move on. Their album wasn't even that good, why am I still here (she says, after seeing a picture of J-Hope and smiling affectionately. God. Get me out of here!!)
On the plus side, recent release-wise, this song by Yena was super good and catchy (ha). I respect this return to old, 2nd gen sound and aesthetics so much. K-Pop is at its best when it's colourful, a bit weird, and an earworm!
That's it for me now, I think. Hoping to read more books and watch new movies and create more art this month! Last month I only managed to read a couple short stories.
