I realised I'm still stuck in the past when it comes to AFF, when people were a lot friendlier in general and stuff.

I mainly belong in the 'roleplay bubble' of AFF now. What other 'bubbles' are there here? Applyfics, the social side of AFF, and then there's the actual fanfic side of AFF. I'm sure there are many smaller groups as well I don't even know about cause I'm not as super involved on this website anymore as I used to be as a kid (okay, not kid technically...teen? I did join AFF when I was 12 though, holy crap--).

Somehow I keep on seeing the word "toxic" being thrown around everywhere these days, and it makes me wonder...is this what AFF has become of now?

I'm seriously feeling detached from whatever's happening on this site now, especially since I'm no longer up to date with K-pop. Is this what growing up's like?

This is the first personal blogpost I wrote up this year (minus that spazz post about seiyuus at the start of this year cx) and it just happens to be this.

I don't know where I'm going with this post.

A little life update from me, I guess. I am now legal at age 18. I graduated high school last year and now I am studying nursing at TAFE. I initially got into Bachelor of Health Sciences at Deakin University but I dropped out within the first semester cause the research culture of university was just not for me. I don't care about academics. I just want a job. So, I entered into something more practical, but still health-related. This Diploma of Nursing will only take 1.5 years. After graduation, I will be working an an enrolled nurse. I know nurses are in demand in Australia, and I was wanting to use my life to help my people, so here I am. The pay in the future may not be the greatest, but at least is better than what my dad is earning. Life is good.

Currently I am super active in the (male) seiyuu fandom. I'm still too lazy to watch anime in general, but I mainly keep up with the titles so I know which seiyuu has worked in which series. Also, anime music is ridiculously good. K-pop sounds too messy for me now, and I've always loved the Japanese language. There's a whole flood of idol boygroup animes recently (most were originally video games or drama CD series or something) and their music strangely appeals to me. Tsukiuta's stuff is definitely the top in my list. The whole concept + production is super impressive.

Speaking of anime music, that new super gay iceskating anime 'Yuri On Ice' has started broadcasting this week AND HOLY CRAP I WANT THE ENDING SONG OUT ALREADY WACCHAN Y U DO DIS TO ME I DON'T WANNA WAIT A MONTH FOR THE FULL VERSION--

I know I was super fangirly over Hirakawa Daisuke at the start of this year when I got back into the seiyuu fandom after leaving primary school SEVERAL YEARS AGO but since then my knowledge of other seiyuus has broadened. Currently been saving pictures of Kakihara Tetsuya (I do not believe this Japanese-German kid is turning 34 this year!) and Eguchi Takuya (at 187cm, he's HELLA TALL for a Japanese guy) on my laptop because I've been roleplaying as them + I find them attractive. XD Aside from these guys, I may or may not have developed a love/hate thing over Shimono Hiro too (PRISCILLA WHY). His '' voice is super adorable, he laughs like Elmo, I love how adorably M he is with other seiyuus (protect this precious lamb pls even the guys want his --) and I still want to sleep on his beautiful 'pigeon' chest. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The cutest '80-liner ever. <3

Getting into seiyuus have made me appreciate old men whilst the K-pop idols are getting younger and younger every year.

(should probably close off this blogpost before it turns into another seiyuu spazz post)
