wobble wobble

Okay so we just had a big earthquake.

It was an upper 5 where I am (or between upper and lower 5) and I don't think we've had something that strong in the greater Tokyo area since the disaster in 2011?

Ugh I'm still feeling kind of wobbly. Earthquakes are scary.

I was going to write about something different tonight but I guess I'll just put this here for now.

Writing calms me down. But I also appreciate friends reaching out and calling me to keep each other company and calm down and ... it helps. It helps to not be alone.

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.
