Hello! I'm fine thank you for asking. Ironically, I'm not on here as much because I'm in the middle of a book series. Once I finish it (6 in total). I'll decide if they're worth consuming multiple bullets or one. SO it's funny that you pointed out my lack of reading. They're each about 500 pages long so it takes me about a week to read 2 at a comfortable pace. 

Ohh so you're been binging! I just finished my own binge, but you're probably well aware of that lol. I saw you posted in the forum and I'll read it later on. Like I said I'm really involved in this book series and I usually stick to one thing at a time. Larkawolfgirl just commented on my page actually. Super flattered she decided to do my challenge. So that was pretty neat. 

Gate seemed interesting. I was up in the air about it, but considering nonetheless. Ajin seems up my alley and I'm definitely going to watch ERASED.. Since I binge I struggle keeping my interest up on ongoing things so I've made a personal choice to wait for thing to finish. So I'm just waiting.

That is a good idea and is what I am doing with Gintama. I honestly can't imagine just watching that straight through. Out of the love triangles Zero no Tsukaima is the worst (even though I see it isn't tagged as such), so you may want to spread watching that out as well. Love triangles usually don't bother me that much unless the characters annoy me themselves, and Siesta in Zero no Tsukaima did. I think it's not tagged with it since Saito and Luises' relationship is pretty stable, other girls just end up liking him. In Ef the love triangle is really just the one girl being sad because her love isn't requieted.

I'm really happy to hear that Tales of the Abyss is one you think you will enjoy the most :). 

The ones I hadn't seen yet when I made the contest were: Log Horizon, Zankyou no Terror, Charlotte, Date a Live, Prison School, Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, and Mononoke. I have now finished Zankyou no Terror, Date a Live, and Prison School. I'm watching Rainbow right now for ScarletRain's contest, and then I will start Mononoke.

See, on a conscious level I understand that I make good choices and should feel proud of myself, yet I am always feeling like I'm not good enough. Even just yesterday I decided to look into starting up freelance work and thought to myself "looks like I probably can't do this either, because I can't compare to the competition." What it really comes down to is that I feel proud of myself as myself, but that I don't think I stand out enough in comparison to other people. And part of it comes down to the fact that I know I can find a job, but I don't just want any job. I have set things I would enjoy doing but don't feel like I am good enough at those specific things. But I'm working through it, and lately, I've been feeling better about myself each day. I'm earning marketing certificates for class, learning and growing from taking Udemy courses, and though I haven't actually gotten down to writing it yet, I plan on writing an ebook and self-publishing it on Kindle.

As for your circumstance, at least you learned from your experiences. That's how I view life, nothing but a learning experience, a way for us to learn more about ourselves and aobut how we want to express ourselves to others. From your experinece you can better help your children not to be self-destructive.

I actually don't need to only watch things for the contests, since I actually don't have that much left to watch, I just have the habit of plowing through things as quickly as I can for the fulfillment of finishing. Not to mention people keep suggesting that I watch things, and I'm just like "but I have to finish these contests." 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy participating in the contests even if it limits what you can watch, and I hope you have a wonderful day as well!

Again, I've only seen the first episode of Log Horizon so far, so I can't really judge it. I just know that my favorite thing about Sword Art Online is how dramatic their situation is. While they do find a rhythm to their new life they are never entirely content since they know they might die any day. I had thought Log Horizon would be similar except without the harem, so it is disappointing that they completely cut that aspect of the story -_- But I guess it is a nice counterpart since SAO doesn't really address the NPCs and the politics of the world that much at all.

Ah! You have to watch Brotherhood. The beginning isn't as good as non-Brotherhood since it moves faster, but it really does get better. The homongulous make a lot more sense and the ending is much more fullfilling. 

Both of my parents were strict, but my mom affected me more since she would yell for hours and I could never figure out how to please her. I knew what to do to please my dad, I just didn't couldn't quite do it. For example, my friends would never leave me alone until I asked if I could play, which meant I would bother him when I wasn't supposed to. He was also really into math and would be disappointed when I didn't understand complicated math problems. The worse he ever did was spank me, though. While I was still frightened to ever upset him, the spankings were short. Upsetting my mom was worse since I would be stuck crying for what at least felt like hours. I would get to the point of pushing my head into the carpet and begging her to tell me what to do to get her to stop. The worst thing is that she would always just say "I don't know" and keep going. 

Now my mom is always surprised when I break down or hold myself to extreme perfectionistic expectations. She doesn't realize that she is partially the blame for it. The other is just because I am very developmentally driven. I always want to improve myself and be excelent at at least one thing. I feel like I am good at many things but not good enough to actually be able to do it as a job or anything. 

Yeah, I don't think I will join VampGirl's even if I finish the other contests. There are so many on that list I haven't seen yet, and I would like to regain the freedom to just watch what I want again.

Have a wonderful day!
