Arg.

I like begining my entries with monosylabic utterances.

I don't know why.

Yesterday, I went with Lord Buffington all the way to Merced, passing (by chance) through the lands where I spent my childhood as a wee lad.

I saw the house I lived in for nearly eight years.

It brought back a lot of memories. Even when I was younger, I always had issues with nostalgia. I don't understand that, either. I think I spend far too much time worrying about the could-have-beens instead of the still-might- bes.

But I can never let go of that nostaliga. Video games and books, these things are always something that's interested me. Anime and manga, too. Because you can look at it, and once it's over, you can watch it again. You never have to worry about losing a moment of it -- it's all going to be there for you to come back to.

And then, when that's done, you can explore the could-have-beens by writing ... fanfiction. Or just see where the story goes next. And I have to wonder, looking at it like that, if it's really a good thing for me to be writing fanfiction.

I want to go back to school....
