October 6 - Trying to write more

 I keep telling myself I need to write more, every time I write in this blog I feel as if some weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I guess it helps to get what's in my head out. Today I had Co-op which is like this homeschool thing where you meet at a church once a week for a few classes. I also read Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek.

For Co-op I have in order Art, Choir, and Psychology.

 Art is fun, nothing too much, the table of people I'm with is nice. Last year it felt awkward to talk to the people at my table but this year I actually want to talk to them. What we're doing in art right now is clay sculptures, specifically whatever the heck you want, so me in all my awe-inspiring wisdom decided to make an egg. The teacher thought it was funny, so the egg did its job. 

In Choir I have been placed as a tenor and it is alright, Now I know I'll never be a Bass, heck, no one in our group is an actual Bass. I don't talk to people there often, I try, but I struggle. I am working on socialization; I will be everyone's friend someday. 

Psychology is my favorite class, no offense to the others they are good too, just Psychology is better. At the start of the class the teacher uses cards from the Ungame as an icebreaker, she says it will get harder every week, and she isn't lying, today's question was "What was your most embarrassing moment as a child" So I told people about my long hair phase. 

That's all I want to say for the classes, but what I want to mention is the fact that I have a three-hour gap between Choir and Psychology. I usually do math class on my computer, but I forgot my headphones, so I review Psycho for the weekly quiz and did English homework. Everything was all fine and dandy until some kindergarteners from my Sunday School class that also go there came up to me. Nothing against them it's just when you're trying to eat lunch and there's a group of five-year-olds under the table hitting you it gets annoying. Plus, when I walked away, they just followed me all the way to the bathroom!

Besides Co-op I read Secret Identity and man I just love the story. It's so fascinating and different of an idea. On top of that I love how it gives layers to the reason why Clark hides him being Superman, on top of it being set in the real world. I have more words for it but I'm getting tired.

I'll end here, that was the main parts of my day, more happened but I don't feel like writing about it.

October 4 Update

 Haven't posted in a month, but here I am now. Not much has happened since the last post. Life has just been going through the motions, and I don't know how to break the cycle, nor do I feel the need to. In terms of comics, It's just been Fantastic Four, Transformers, and an attempt to read Spawn. School stuff happens and that's about it.

Comics:

    DWJ's run of Transformers ended semi-recently and I don't know how I feel; I liked his run and everything it's just I can't handle monthly comics. So, I've dropped Transformers from monthly series because now Kirkman is on it and Kirkman is a perv. 

    Fantastic Four by Ryan North is good just like the first run he did I just think after I get all the Skottie Young covers I'll stop buying it. Lastly, 

    I tried to get through Spawn, made it through one compendium. I just don't really care about it, it's not to edgy it's just meh. 

    The only other thing I can think of with comics is I tried the Japanese comic One Piece, but it didn't seem to be interesting after three chapters, so I stopped reading it, but that's all Japanese comics: Boring and Weird. 

    I should probably talk why I don't like buying comics monthly. First off is just the stress, I don't have a LCS at all, so I have to use eBay. Shipping prices hurt and things sell out fast, so when comics are weeks apart it is a stress just finding one seller that has the ones I want and the covers I want. So after #5 of FF, I will probably drop monthlies and switch to back issues and trades. I still have yet to try out DC Compacts.

Life:

    With School most of it has been okay, most notable is Psychology and the amount of work it has, I chose to do extra work because it will allow me to clep out of a college psychology class. I have pre-Calc for Math and it's alright.

    Besides school I'm on the upswing with socialization. I'm slowly learning how to deal with social anxiety, quitting most if not all forms of internet activity have helped and just realizing what I think is weird isn't weird.

    I've been an assistant teacher for my church's Sunday school for kindergarten, technically the role I am is called a shepherd, but assistant teacher sounds better. I'm reaching the point of doing it for nearly a year and a half. Hopefully soon I'll be able to actually teach the class one day.

Other:

    One last thing I want to say is that I have quit most toy collecting, the appeal in it is just gone. Especially with the prices of stuff these days it just doesn't work for me so most things I had on a shelf have been packed away.

And that is basically what life has been, I'll see you whenever.
