wee... back from "Halloween" screening. Was expecting horror, but was not horror. Even less horror than weekly "Boogiepop Phantom" with its creepy music and Sandman-like images. Watched Mermaid's Forest. I think I watched the other mermaid at Liz' house 2 years ago in dub... very typical and predictable, esp. since I saw the other one. Also watched Petshop of Horrors, which is pretty entertaining in a lighthearted way. It's cool how they used a different source of mythology for each "pet", though. And yes, the rabbits in "Daughter" were scary. The episodes all start with "D" "Daughter", which is about family relationships with man-eating rabbits, "Delicious" which is about obssession/love with man-eating mermaid, "Despair" which is about loss of hope/love with reptilian Medusa, and "Dual" which is about power/obligation with destructive Kirin, but was kinda lame. Overall very entertaining, though, with classic androgonus male, rough bishonen, and weird myth things. And dessert.

At advisor meeting yesterday morning: "So, your academics are fine right now. How are you socially?" Umm... just because I look like antisocial weirdo doesn't mean I am antisocial weirdo. Well, at least not all the time. Sure, many things, I'm just used to/more comfortable doing by myself, but I don't shun company. We're even hosting a prospie on Halloween! And ppl haven't been avoiding me b/c I'm weird. Well, at least not noticeably. And I have ppl to talk to, etc. outside of house, too. Yes. This is just one long defense for my antisocial activities (like not going to frat party last friday or rarely sitting in lounge.)

Hooray for being antisocial (in specific contexts)! People don't seem to understand that it's perfectly normal to not want to spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the presence of others. :-P People are cool, as is spending time with them, but time alone is important too. So I guess the point is... more power to you, being true to what you want to do, rather than feeling the need to conform to what people think you ought to go (frat parties, lounge). And that may sound cheesy, but I think it's true. So there, world.
