(game of thrones spoilers)

over the summer i've been trying to do some things to make myself get off the computer for a few hours. initially i had started watching game of thrones, as well as starting tron uprising (though i'd been planning on doing this for a while). after a while i noticed that tron is the only thing i kept watching consistently. i don't really understand why i've slowed down watching game of thrones but the further i get into the series the worse my apprehension got. like, when  i first started i watched the first episode and half of the second on the same day. i'm now on the 6th (?) episode and i've only seen half of it. and that was a week ago. and i actually made it worse by spoiling things for myself by reading the tvtropes pages for the books. i know i'm afraid of getting attached to the characters but it's not like i'm gonna skip out on seeing the dark knight rises because i don't want to see the characters get hurt. 


i noticed that i did a similar after i read the hunger games. the book ends on a slightly bittersweet, but altogether happy note. i knew that things would get shitty in catching fire and at the time i refused to start it because i didn't want to ruin the moment. i figure it's the same thing except instead of getting to the end of the first season and not wanting to ruin the end, i'm trying to savor the calm before the storm (storm= ned stark's death). sometimes i wish got had come out before i became more emotionally available, because i'd be waiting for season three like everyone else, or at least on the second season.


sorry about the long ranty post and the long absence. this has been bothering me for a while and i wanted to say something about it. i probably won;t be posting much more because i'm on vacation right now


mood: generally happy but also a bit nauseous idk
