Goodbye for now!
I think I'm not going to be updating for a little while. This has more to do with schoolwork than anything else, but I just don't feel like doing much anime stuff right now. I think I'm growing out of it.

Of course, I've said that a million times before, and it always passes. We'll see what happens.

The thing that's turning me off anime right now is that I can't do NON-anime things as well anymore. I haven't been dedicating myself as much to realistic art as I should, and I've realized it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to write anything that's not a fanfic anymore. How am I ever going to succeed at these things if anime keeps getting in the way?

What brought this on? A visit to my high school, where all my teachers wanted to know what I was doing and where I was going and where I was headed. And I didn't have much to tell them. I'm still so lazy and such a slacker. Yet despite all my procrastination and laziness, they still believe in me. Can we say guilt trip? I felt really bad when my English teacher told me how I was going to be big, and how he'd be looking for my books someday.

So I've decided I need to stop taking life so passively- letting things I should hold onto slowly slip by. I want to be passionate about things again, instead of taking such a lethargic view of life.

So I'm cutting out my distractions. I'll still be around, maybe, just not near as much. It really is time for me to grow up.
