Oooookay. I’ve tried this in the past, and I failed. Miserably. Mainly because a lot of the things I put on my old list were related to 1) animanga, of which I am no longer an obsessive fan / 2) liberal activism, which I abhor / 3) high school, which I am no longer part of (hells yeah~!)
So let’s try this again =)
