Slightly off-centre and hopelessly addicted to coffee.
It may be quieter now, but the voices still scream - only this time, I'm learning to scream back.

Bad with multimedia.
Can't do shit for animation.
Bad with audio.
Bad with video.
Can't write well.
Can't speak well.
Tell me, Nat, what can you do?
Convince me that you somehow belong to the world of mass media.
You write exceptionally well from what I've seen, I'm sure you write much better than you say you do as well if your language is any indication. I can't say much for the rest, but I can at least vouch for your writing, as a loyal reader who actually enjoys reading your poems and stories in the past and your blogging about the goings on in your daily life :) so don't sell yourself short, mass media is a line of work I could see you doing, perhaps maybe more to do with writing than with something like radio? I think you just fail to see your own talents, and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking you are talented and can make your way in the industry.
Hi and thanks for the words of comfort, but today's not a day of confidence for me, you know what I mean? Days like these, I do half-consider asking to change a course (even though I can't see myself in any other courses than the one I'm struggling in right now), but... Well, it's just a day. Thanks a lot though :)
I sincerely hope you get out of this funk and see just how amazing you are and how right you are for this. You love what you do and you do what you love, that's a rare thing that few can truly claim in life.
What's a patronus? According to Professor Lupin, it "is a kind of Anti-Dementor - a guardian which acts as a shield between you and the Dementor". It basically conjures an incarnation of the caster's innermost positive feelings, such as joy or hope, and is a weapon rather than a predator of souls. Patronuses shield their conjurors from Dementors, and can even drive them away. They can also be used to send messages. Well. I've always wondered what my patronus would be. Once upon a long-ass time ago when I was in Primary School, I'd have said that my patronus was a dog, mostly because my favourite animal back then was a dog (of course, that was way before I realised exactly how awkward I am around animals). Then a few years after that when I was in Secondary School, I would have said that my patronus was a tortoise or a turtle, for reasons that I'd prefer not to say. And then after I graduated from NAS, I asked myself again what my patronus co...
Dad's gone to China for a month. It's one of those leisure trips that I don't really care about, mainly because schoolwork takes up most of my time (as always). I hadn't quite thought or cared about how I might have felt about this, because well, it's just another trip. No big deal. Until I told Tish, and she said: "You don't look sad." Cue slightly blank look. "Am I supposed to be sad? I mean, I'm not exactly crying or anything." "Well, you look... Relieved." Oh. Relieved. Am I supposed to feel that way? On a more random note, meet Cally. I saw her picture on the internet, and well... She told me her name. This is where people give me strange looks and hastily walk away. Go on. I'll understand.
How best to put this, I wonder... If anything at all, this is just one of those random posts that I write and share with no explanation other than the confession that it's been on my mind an awful lot the past few days and I needed to scribble this down somewhere so I could stop mulling it over again and again. You know how people always ask you what you look for in a significant other? I used to come up with a long list of qualities and characters traits I thought I wanted to find when I was younger, and it always used to paint an all-in-all perfect picture of what I thought was my "ideal" person. It's funny how your answers always change as you grow up - not unexpected, but also refreshingly surprising when you compare what you say now to what you would have said back then. I'd stopped thinking about that question until a year ago, when I dated this one guy. Granted, it was only one date and we broke things off after that, but we did have rather interestin...
