Don't be bored, be awesome.

Sometimes, it just feels like a really nice way to get away from school work, and trans* issues, and distract myself with nerdy, geeky stuff.

I recently discovered Geek & Sundry, which is a youtube based vlog community run by Felicia Day and honestly a world of fun, full of stuff for nearly every cool nerdy side of things from just talking about something to webseries, with a different set of vloggers on each day of the week and one mystery vlogger. 

There’s a girl who talks about comics, the latest out or the series that just ended, and a guy who talks about characters and why they’re so iconic. His episode about the Joker’s laugh is awesome, and I’m not even that into Batman. He’s just that good. And ‘two brokegeeks’ that gives tips on how to still love stuff without needing to spend too much money, and that reminds me, I should borrow my dad’s tablet and get a load of comic book apps.

It’s also the channel that hosts Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop series, where him and some guests play different tabletop games. And a 16Bit series called Outlands, where the ‘heroes’ are going around the universe, and their legit intention is to go to planets, destroy everything, and move on. It’s set out like you’re playing an old game, which is cool.

What I’m trying to say, really, is that this site has been endlessly useful to me, lately. Usually, I get caught on FTMTrans*tastic, which is a fantastic thing in itself, but it always leaves me either really happy or really restless about being trans*. Either way, it always puts it on my mind, makes me feel really strange. I guess being the only one in the house that’s actually interested in my mental wellbeing in regards to my gender has something to do with it.

But it’s been nice to be distracted by comic books again, to watch Wil mess around and suck at rolling dice. I’ve kinda fallen out of touch with that side of my life recently. Hell, I barely have time to watch shows now, and Moony’s well past finished with Heroes while I’m still only just on season 3.

It’s been very strange recently. I’ve got coursework to do, but I can’t find the angle to start on it. Honestly, I’m stressed by it all. I have to start the Wil Wheaton investigation but I’m not totally sure what I’m looking for any more.

My media project should probably get some work, since it’s like half of my grade this year. I’m going to compare Reboot Star Trek to the original series, so I guess maybe I should watch the new films and makes notes or something. Maybe I’ll do that tonight, to feel like I’m making some sort of progress in something.

And I want to apologise if this page seems to have a while back ground to the words. It seems to happen whenever I copy over work that I wrote in a word document, since I wrote this in a free lesson to pass time.
