Hello!
I decided that I'd make Monday the day for this blog as well. That way I just write two blog posts for the day and then I can wait until next week to write to more. Plus it helps that I'm already in the blog writing mode. So Mondays are the new days, yay!
So last Friday I went what I call "manga bingeing". It's when I have quite a de manga to read so I spend my whole day(or however long it takes to finish them all) on reading them. Here are the manga titles I read this time around:
Fairy Tail: Volume 31
Oresama Teacher: Volume 2
Vampire Knight: Volume 17
Kekkaishi: Volumes 34 and 35(actually the last two in the series :()
It was really fun. If you ever have any manga piles or graphic novel piles or even just any genre then I recommend going bingeing. It's a good way to get them off your TBR pile.
Speaking of TBR piles, here's my most recent one:
As you can see, I still have some titles from previous TBR pile updates. I really need to speed up my reading. Maybe I should do a binge with just all of my TBR pile. I think I'll do that.
So the last thing I wanted to talk about is TAMIC.
I don't know if I've mentioned it here before but TAMIC is The Anime and Manga Interest Circle. I've been wanting to join ever since I heard about it and I was going to go to the first meeting but everyone kinda dissuaded me so I ended up not going. Then when the second meeting came around, I decided I was going to go this time. I didn't care about the distance, the gas usage, I wanted to be happy. However that day my father had a doctors appointment. As the time for the meeting grew closer, my father wasn't any closer to getting back. In fact he didn't get back until the time when it was supposed to start.
However, I was quite lucky that day because it turned out the meeting was cancelled. I felt so relieved at that point. Because I was heavily close to tears when I thought I'd missed it.
So today there was another meeting. We were to be watching an anime movie called Steamboy. I was determined to make it this time. We went early, we arrived there on time, everything was going super well. Then, when the movie was about 30 minutes underway, in walks my little brother(who my mother made accompany me) and he said that our father was there and that it was time to go. I stood up as silently as possible, gathered my things, and left saying goodbye to everyone.
Now believe me I was sure-fire pissed at this point but I calmly went to my father and he said it was time to go and so I gathered some books my sister wanted, checked them out and then we left.
The car ride home I was fuming. I didn't let it show of course. I also tried not to be too mad seeing as my father had gotten me Ghirardelli peppermint bark which I've been wanting. I still couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment though.
I'm really hoping I can make it to two next meeting and that this time it won't be the same but I'm thinking that maybe I should just give up. Maybe I was in way over my head and I should've just stopped from the get-go. I don't know.
Anyway, sorry for ranting like this. This is supposed to be my reading and writing blog but I wanted to share about TAMIC and I couldn't do so without getting some things off my chest.
It was really nice though for the time that I was in there. I learned the names of the organizer of the event: Ash and a new member like myself: Grace. Ash seemed pretty cool(and pretty cute hehe :D) and Grace seemed nice too, like someone I could really get to know. Too bad it was cut short. Sigh...
Anyway, that's it for now.
Read on my friend,
Sumiyya <3
