Nagi's Journal

Usual disclaimers apply. Not mine, if they were, I would be a lot better off…
Warnings: who knows, I have no idea where this will go or even what I'm doing, but it's safe to say there will be shounen ai, probably yaoi, possibly lemons, angst, dirty language and maybe violence. I CAN promise no character death, but that's about it…
Day 18: Free Time?
Today's entry is supposed to be about what we do in our `free time'. Free time… free time… I think I have to look that one up. I don't know what `free time' is. In all seriousness, WHEN am I supposed to have any free time? Between being in school, forever, and then homework, and then Schwarz-work, and missions… I barely get time to SLEEP let alone `free time'.
Okay, I do get to get out occasionally. Usually, if I have free time (and I'm not grounded) I try to spend it with Omi. I don't think you necessarily have to call them `dates', but we do go out and do stuff. Usually something to eat, maybe a movie if there is anything good out (and we haven't spent our money on new computer stuff), and the café. Sometimes we'll hang out at the mall, or go computer shopping. Not that we buy stuff… but it's fun to look and try out the games and equipment. Especially when we start asking really technical questions that the clerks can't possibly know the answers to. Omi's talked about taking me over to his place eventually, if no one else is supposed to be home. I'm not sure if that means they don't know about us, or if they do and aren't happy. He hasn't shared.
Besides doing stuff with Omi, I like to spend time on my computer. Chatting, surfing, hacking, playing games, it's all fun to me. Except when I have to do annoying stuff for Brad, but that falls under Schwarz-work and not `free time'. Once in a while, one of my online friends (ever notice how it is easier to make friends when they can't see you?) will ask me to help with their web page or something like that. I like doing it, since I can't have one of my own. Can you just SEE the fit if Brad found out I had a web page? Even under a pseudonym, he'd kill me. So I have to be creative with others pages.
I also like to draw, a lot. Maybe as much as I like the computer. Only drawing is more satisfying at times because it all comes from within. In many ways it is the only way I can truly express myself. I'm not good verbally, I can't really write, I play the violin but I don't compose… so it's my drawing. They usually fall into one of two categories, `fun' and `therapy'. The fun pieces are my usual animé/manga, chibi Omi's that sort of thing. The therapy pieces are intensely emotional. No one ever sees them besides me. I don't give them to anyone, and I usually destroy them. It's not that I don't want anyone to know what I'm feeling; it's just that those pieces are VERY personal. I don't want to share.
What else do I do? I read occasionally. Even out of a book! ^__^ I like fantasy and science fiction the best. Oh, and my manga. Hey, I consider that reading, and they come out more often than books do. Sometimes I'll read some online stuff. It's amazing what you can find online. Entire libraries! It's sooooo cool.
I watch little TV. I can live without it and it's just easier to do something in my room than to fight Farf and Schu for the remote. I can usually get up Saturday and Sunday before Schu, so then I get the TV till the cartoons are off. Past that point, I don't really care what's on. I couldn't care less about sports and sitcoms bore me. Once in a great while, I'll rent an animé video or Schu and I will pick a few tapes together and have a movie night. But usually, I let them have the TV.
I listen to music, but that's something I usually do while doing something else. I rarely listen just to listen. Every so often, I'll pull out Bavol's violin (yes I kept it) and tinker. I wouldn't say I'm good or anything, but I like to play around. And being able to read music is a useful skill.
That's about it. `Free time' is such a foreign concept to me. I might get an hour or two a week, usually on the weekends, but that's it. I don't mind, all that much. I like to be busy. But once in a while… I'd really like a little more time for me.
