It's amazing how even when I'm not in school Mondays feel like the most stressful day of the week. There's absolutely no reason they should really. I never write on Sundays, so I suppose that writing again could be the cause. Still, during summer break Mondays aren't all that different from weekends, so I don't really understand why I still dread them so much.
I haven't really done much so far today other than write. That's still making up the majority of my days really. I still want to get a bit more done today. I'm really enjoying where I am in the story I'm writing. I wish I could talk about it, but I don't want to do that yet.
For the moment, I'm going to go study Japanese. I haven't made incredible progress in learning the language this summer, but I have been studying it at least a little every day. I'm hoping I can keep that up when school starts in a few weeks.

Larry Stylinson
I don't talk about Larry Stylinson (or Lourry if you prefer) on here ever. I have it in my Twitter bio, but I don't tweet about it much. The only place that I really "talk" about Larry at all is on Tumblr, and that just basically consists of my reblogging pictures, gifs, etc. There are a number of reasons that I don't talk about it much. For one thing, I don't really talk about One Direction here on my blog or on Youtube that much at all. Perhaps the biggest reason though, is because I feel like everything I could have to say has already been said by other people. Plus, some people get really offended if they think that you've "broken the fourth wall," but honestly if anyone wants to find anything on the Internet, they can. I don't know why some people seem to think that Tumblr is a magical land where you can keep anyone related to One Direction from seeing what you post.
I made a video about One Direction about a month ago and uploaded it to Youtube, but I immediately privated it for a variety of reasons. I didn't even touch on Larry in that video though, so it's not even really the same thing. Still, One Direction and Larry Stylinson are a huge part of my life and what I spend my time doing, and for that reason I feel like I should talk about it more here and on Youtube. That's why I've decided to actually start talking about them more. It will honestly hardly affect this blog at all, but I do want to make more Youtube videos about it.
I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to say yet. There's quite a lot I could go into, and yes, most of it will have been said before. However, I don't want that to stop me from talking about it either. After all, almost everything has been said about everything at some point. I was actually going to go ahead and make this a blog post about why I believe Larry is real, but I think that would be better suited for a video and I already filmed one this morning. That will be coming soon. It may be a little difficult as I have so much to say that I really don't know where to even begin. I want to try this though. I feel as if I've been too silent about my feelings on Larry on the Internet, and I really want to end that.

An Actual Summer Break
Ever since all of the wedding and concert excitement a few weeks ago, I haven't really been doing much. Nothing really notable at least. However, tomorrow will be exactly a week until my twentieth birthday, and that's kind of a scary thought. It's hard to believe that I'll no longer be a teenager.
My days recently have seriously been filled with nothing but writing, reading, and watching TV shows. I'm kind of thankful though because I really need this for at least part of the summer. Doing a bunch of fun stuff is great, but I also need to use summer break as an actual break or I'm going to be tired out before school even starts.

Pointless Sentimentalities
I like to keep anything that is slightly sentimental to me. I'd probably be a borderline hoarder if I didn't force myself to throw away the more mundane things that I have inklings to keep. Granted, sometimes I just keep things (such as receipts) because they get put somewhere and then I never think to throw them away. Still, I have a lot of things that most people probably would have thrown away by now.
In elementary school my friends and I liked to make up freeze tag games. We eventually had so many different types of freeze tags that we couldn't remember them all, so me being how I am, I decided that we needed to write down a list. I remember that I took that list to recess with me every day to make sure that we remembered all of the freeze tags when deciding what to play. (And I typically wanted to play Halloween Halls instead of freeze tag. We made up all our own games if you can't tell.) I still have that list. It's wrinkled more than it even should be because I had this fascination with how soft paper got if you wrinkled it up, so I used to purposefully wrinkle any paper that wasn't school work. I'll probably never throw that list away, even if it's pretty useless these days.
That's just one of the small, sentimental things sitting around in my room. I have the usual ticket stubs. I even had a piece of bark from the tree that used to sit on my elementary and middle school's playground. They cut it down the year after a graduated. None of these things serve any purpose other than bringing back fond memories whenever I see them, and that's why I like them so much. A lot of things have changed (especially since elementary school), but I can still look at those things and immediately remember a bunch of memories associated with those things, even if it's really only a list of freeze tags.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 81-88 Review
I really loved these eight episodes. Shikamaru's been one of my favorite characters since the chunin exams, but he really cemented his place as my favorite character in these episodes.
It was heartbreaking to watch the episodes where everyone was reacting to Asuma's death, especially Shikamaru's reaction. The deer in the forest were a bit odd, but when that one went and got Asuma's lighter for Shikamaru I was in tears.
I also loved seeing Naruto's new jutsu. I love seeing him get better and better. At the beginning of the show I was just kind of indifferent to Naruto, but I've really come to love him as a character since the Sasuke retrieval arc.
I really don't have much to say about these episodes. I think a lot of it is because it was only eight episodes, but also, these episodes just made me really emotional. I'm not entirely sure why. There was Asuma's death of course, but I think I've just been oddly more emotional when it comes to books and TV lately. Whatever the reason, it's making it harder to pick out things in these episodes to mention/talk about. I really enjoyed them though, and I can't wait to keep watching!
