hello 2021

Happy New Year dear readers!

I hope you made it into the new year safe and sound.

I spent New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in a slightly down-sized traditional Japanese way, which basically meant eating Osechi, being too full for toshikoshi soba and then eating ozouni without mochi because uh forgot to buy mochi lol. All the while the TV was on and there was Kouhaku, Johnny's Countdown, some Gaki no Tsukai and Ariehen Sekai.

Under normal circumstances there would have also been a visit to the shrine but unfortunately the times we live in right now don't really make that very appealing right now.

Anyway, I hope 2021 will be a good year for you. Stay safe and stay healty.

Knowledge is power (aka Wissen ist Macht)

Some of you might be wondering why my blog title is what it is and to be honest, I don't remember who exactly gave me that nickname but it was before I got my teaching certificate at some point... People were telling me I was like Wikipedia, just in human form. I had a lot of knowledge, sometimes random or useless knowledge, sometimes useful. It's always been a thing for me, to accumulate knowledge, to try and keep myself informed. Some people saw it as showing off (aka "Klugscheisser" in German) and others appreciated it. (This post contains thoughts on mental health issues. If that's something you might not want to read, please do not continue beyond this point).

quo vadis - where will the road lead you

People always say that life is easier when you have a goal to work towards. I don't think this is wrong but at the same time, I also don't think it is completely true. In a way. Like, I honestly can't say that I have a real goal in life right now. I have little stepping stones, milestones but the road that lies ahead leads into the unknown (okay sorry if you got the song stuck in your head now). None of the 'typical' goals really appeal or apply to me: getting married (muh), starting a family (meh), buying a house (mmh), having a lot of money (pfft), get a job you like (yaah)... On some days, it's hard to keep going, knowing that you're just...walking further and further into a sheer endless expanse of NOTHING and on other days, it feels like you're free. Weird, isn't it?

Okay, I give in, here's a blog - Kira Life Update

Okay, so Blogtober 2.0, if you will? Or if I'm allowed to do that lol I noticed that blogging about fandom related stuff only is hard and maybe not all that interesting for people, so I decided to make a more personal blog after all. And after interacting with Pippa on her blog, I found that THAT was what I do miss from LJ and so yeah, here goes. This first entry is an update on what's been happening in my life - in a nutshell. For the future, prepare for a bunch of random stuff, rants and what not. I will most likely be talking about: life and work fandom stuff stuff that is on my mind living in Japan food More specific fandom stuff will still be on the other blog but fandoms not covered by that (yeah yeah I have too many fandoms, I know) will be on this one.
