Anime & Youtube Nostalgia

 I was recently watching a YouTube video that referenced Death Note and had a blast from the past where I remembered the early 2000s where the comment sections were full of the "L" insignia on all the AMV and youtube poop videos I watched as a kid. I've been very online since middle school, the amount of Linkin Park Naruto AMVs I have consumed are untold. Clips of Sasuke set to Boulevard of Broken dreams? A classic. It's also how I learned about the musical Avenue Q, I mean with a song called "The Internet is for Porn" how would it not be used excessively? How could I not possibly feel edgy with Dennis Leary's "Lifes Gonna Suck" playing? How could one not feel joyful listening to carameldansen?

For someone who was online very young I do feel lucky that my antisocialness at the time made it so I hadn't dealt with stuff like Chat Roulette nor did I see any of the famous shock value videos. Now a days people will say "Oh you don't know what (something disturbing) is? I wouldn't look it up" and I will always heed that advice because while more restrictions have been put in place it's still not hard to accidentally stumble on something disturbing, or violent, or sexual, or all three and I'm better off not knowing. Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss.

Anyways I think we should all go back to having the L insignia as our pfp icons. I mean look at it, it's rad as hell.

I Couldn't Write a Snappy Title to Save my Life

To start off this new blog I want to talk about how I'm really bad at titling stuff. This started when I was in high school when I started making playlists and I would show them to my friends, they'd look at the songs on let's say an early 2000's playlist and say "Actually that song is from the 90s, and so is this one" and so on and so forth. To which I'd say that the late 90s and early 2000's music was, and is to this day, hard to identify on the spot without me fact checking every song before I put it on a playlist and frankly I am not going to do that work especially if there's a bunch of songs on there. I actually had this happen again in college where I showed my girlfriend at the time a playlist called "A Buncha Tegan and Sara Songs" which she pointed out had a song on there from a different producer. While there is merit to this, it's Tegan and Sara who are singing the song and not the producer. I guess if I wanted to be more t...

Taking Testosterone Is Making Me Gnaw At The Bars On My Enclosure

 So I'm around the sixth month mark of taking testosterone to be who I truly am and I'm sure I'm not the first, nor will I be the last, to say that dealing with a second puberty in your 30s is hard. There are many many reasons for it, from having mood swings at work that I have to try and keep under control to the change in body odor, it's a lot. It will definitely be worth it in the end, I'm getting results that I like. My belly's getting hairy, I'm slowly but surely getting wispy facial hair, and my voice is getting deeper. But there's something that's been driving me crazy recently. My sex drive is so freaking high, which I'm very much not used to. I'm asexual and normally don't really think about it that much. But I've been craving it to a ridiculous degree lately which poses a couple problems. One, I'm single and have been for years and two, I'm a virgin. Since I'm going through a big change physically in my life I do...
