Danganronpa: The Anime

★★★☆☆

Short, sweet, and to the point. This 12 episode anime takes the first game and sums up the major parts of it. The story of the anime is very rushed, and it not the best adaptation of the game. Although, the anime doesn't take itself too seriously. It's more comedic than the game, and cuts out the slow bits that would otherwise be boring to the viewers. 
I unironically fucked with the anime. Would I say it's in my top 10? 20? No. But, I would recommend if you are a fan of the games, and like a non-serious, comedic anime.

Daily Tarot

Hey party People,

    I missed yesterday's tarot read, so today I pulled two!

The Four of Swords (Reversed)
The four of swords reversed indicates a transition from a mentally stressful time towards a new awakening. This transition emerges from a time of rest and self contemplation, and are now ready to engage with people and the world. This card can also mean that this time is very stressful, and is reaching to a point of burnout. It is important to take time to reflect on yourself and practice self care.

The Seven of Wands
The seven of wands indicated that you are in opposition. You need to take a stand and hold your own. Have confidence in yourself, and don't let anyone take control of you. You may be in a time where you are under attack. It is important to resist, but to also need the stamina and strength to take on this task.

I Yearn For Travel

Dear Diary,
    
    Ughhhhhhh, I want to travel so badly! I'm so bored here in Louisiana, and since I can't work, there's nothing to do. The inner nomad in me yearns for a new adventure. 
    One of my friends from freshman year lives in San Francisco. I've been missing her for a while now, and now that I somewhat have the funds to travel, I've been thinking of coming up to see her. 
    The tarot cards have been telling me to reconnect with past friends, so I think this is a sign that I need to take. 
    I'll keep y'all updated if I end up going!

Stay weird,

Affogato!!

 My Love For an Affogato! ⋆☕︎˖ 

    I think an affogato might be my favorite coffee drink! It's always such a nice little treat to have, especially at the coffee bar next to my apartment. 

    Also, it might be because at the coffee shop that I frequently go to (almost everyday), this amazing beautiful gorgeous woman makes me the BEST affogato. 

    We sometimes smoke together and talk about the day, work, and other things that bother us. She's absolutely amazing, but she's married and has kids?!?! 

    I am absolutely NOT a homewrecker, nor do I ever want to get in the way of anyone's relationship. I am not that type of person.

But if she ever makes her relationship open...

    Anyway... affogato AMAZING!! Highly recommend!


Stay Weird,

I Make Music (เน‘°o°เน‘)

 Hey Party People,

    Manic here again! I've been making music for the past couple of months. By music, I mean silly little beats on Garage band. It's just a fun hobby that I like to do. 

    I'd love to share them with y'all, so let me know if you'd want to hear them!


Stay weird,

    Manic


P.S. 

If I ever post music on here, I'd love to hear constructive criticism or ways to improve my fun beats!

All About Me!

Riley Aka Manic

    Hello, I'm Riley aka Manic! I am 22 years old, living in Louisiana. For college, I went to Loyola University New Orleans in New Orleans (lol), and majored in Psychology. I have experience with Film, as I majored in Film for a while, before switching to psych. 
    I love writing screenplays in hopes I can make a feature film one day. I am also an avid reader! My goal this year is to finish at least 10 books. I love watching movies and TV shows with friends (I'm the person who talks during movies lol). 
    One day I hope to get my doctorate in psychology, with a sub specialization in gender and women's studies. I am a very outspoken person when it comes to women's rights, and the right's of others! 
    I have this blog, because I have so many stories about my life that I want to share. Also, I love connecting with people from all over, and hearing their stories.
    In today's world, where we are all divided, I think it's very important to connect with others, practice love, and self care!

Stay weird,
    Manic

UGH, job!

 Dear Diary,

    Today marks the 8th day since I've been drug tested, and I'm still waiting. For an update, last week at work (last Monday to be exact) I passed out on the job. Not like fall asleep, like PASS OUT pass out. 

    I did what any person would do, I went to the nurse's station, and told them what happened. They took my vitals and blood sugar, and then they wanted me to take a drug test. 

    This was a bad idea.

    So... I might have a little marijuana in my system. I have a medical card, and even my therapist recommended I get one for my depression and anxiety. But, since I work in a hospital setting, that might not matter. 

    I took the drug test, they sent it to the lab, and now I am anxiously waiting for the results to come back. I'm scared I might be fired. There could be many factors that could play into me not being fired. I do my job, and do it with a smile on my face. And also, we are severely understaffed. 

UGH!

    The waiting game sucks, but I remain to have hope.


Stay weird,

    Manic
