Sprained it again

I was walking around a mall when suddenly I felt a pain in my right ankle. It was like a needle was stabbed into my ankle. Argh. Sprained my sprained ankle I thought. I should have brought along my crutches.

What's going on out there?

I was preparing to rollerblade with my younger sister and her friends, when-- I'm going to add exciting details -- I rolled down the driveway, hit the edge of the driveway, rolled on the grass, rolled off the grass (which was 10 cm high from the streets), and fell on the street. During the time of my fall, I had this brilliant idea that not landing on my knees would mean no broken legs, SO I landed on my ankle instead. (Nice... NOT.) I've been handicapped since Tuesday evening with a swollen whatever the area around the right ankle's called.

Over the past few days, my freakishly pale skin has been pink, red, purple, blue, and now-- get this -- it's black. Of course, there was pain to go with the colours. I'm just glad I can ditch the $40 crutches I had to buy and use for the first 3 days after the fall. Yes. I can walk again, but the form of walk is different and is painful. Along with the pain, there's this feeling that something's bouncing in my foot as I walk.

Me thinks something broke in my right foot and ankle area.

Northern Anime Festival 2009 and FanEXPO 2009

I was planning to attend Northern Anime Festival, but I forgot... about it. I applied for summer classes, and it's easy to distract me with work when I feel my life depends on it. I'm disapointed in myself for not thinking through my own schedule and not being able to make a video about it. There's also a chance that the summer classes may interfere with my trip to fan expo. If that happens, then I'm not attending fan expo this year for sure. If I do end up attending, I'm looking forward to the cosplays this year. If you're a cosplayer and you're reading this, don't let me down!

I want to attend at least one Northern Anime Festival, so I'm planning not to take a summer course the next year.

On another note, I want to know what you think of an e-fanzine about Toronto anime conventions. It would consist mostly images, videos, and comments on cosplayers. The rest would be about the set up, management, and people who attended the convention in the view of the e-fanzine collaborators (if I can get them).

Pleasacure update

I'm going to try to post more in Pleasacure because it looks like a lot of new and interesting webcomics are appearing at full power. Manga always has something new and interesting coming out, but I'll see if I can get people to help out with chapter reviews (?).

I've been trying to make a ringtone for myself. I made whistling, yelling, and annoying ringtones, but I'm not satisfied with any of them except for the calm one that says "You've got a phonecall." Really. I thought I could do better than this. Then I tried singing a song. I ended up making a very short song about my house number 123. It's so lame, I thought: hey, I can cause bleeding ears with this! I put it up on MySpace music.

I'm currently going through mid-term examinations season. I've never taken summer school before in high school and now I'm taking summer school in university. There's a lot of work (mostly readings) to do. All the class days and test periods, which should have been a period of 4 months, were compressed in a period of 2 decimal something months because of a long strike period with the faculty at the university. I think I'm fine with the compressed dates because I don't know what is the norm. Maybe the feeling of work and days being rushed is the normal? I don't know.

I've been away from this blog for a long while. Keeping accounts on hiatus on any network is a habit of mine. I hung out with a few friends on July first. We played painful twister, pool, ate snacks, pizza, and Siena's birthday cake. I call any gathering with cake involved a party, and was it a party. We partied until early night and went out to light sparklers and watch a bit of fireworks at a local school field. Two friends already left by then. The whole field smelled of gunpowder and someone claimed to have seen a bat flying around. We then went back to Ariana's house, trashed the sparklers, cleaned up the basement we were partying in, and headed to Oie-Lin's house. It was getting dark, but it felt good walking with friends in clear air. When we got to her house, some of us watched her feed her Koi fish out in the back where more fireworks are being set in another local school field. We watched the beginning of a horror movie, but before it got to the half-point Lucy and I already left the party.

Environment

... can be the what, the why, or the how of a surrounding, a place, or a condition. What does the environment look like? What does it feel like to live in that environment? What are the relations between subjects found in that environment? Why is it how it is? How did it become what it is?

Everything including justice, sustainability, ethics, science, and art ties in with the environment. Everything can be found interacting with one or more types of environments, and share those environments with other things from the same or different environments.

Being environmental means to associate oneself with an environment. It could be any kind of environment. For example, the Internet could be considered as an environment. What an environment is depends on the subject's perspective. At least, that's what I believe.

I still don't completely understand what the study of environment is, but with what I've read in the news, with what I've seen, and what I've experienced, this is all I can say about what I believe environmentalism to be.

Any objections? I'd like to read/hear it.
