Bummed, But Moving On
I got rejected for Emperor Penguins, and am now feeling pretty stupid about how sad I am/was over it. I am thinking that I may simply make a fansite for them as an outlet for my love. I have a domain name in mind, but I can't afford any additional ones right now, so I will probably hold off on that, or maybe see if someone is offering subdomain hosting with a name that would fit nicely.
The current to-do list, with deadlines, is: American Studies (July 5), Etymology (July 24), Names (July 24), and "The Road Not Taken" (July 25). I've been asininely lucky with approvals recently, so it just makes me feel even stupider about being so disappointed over one. (Granted, that was one kinda "the" one, but still.) I'm feeling pretty good about my schedule and am happy it's summer, so that I can make these listings more than just membership-based and instead more content-heavy. I also have two namelistings (Carrick and Seanan), but those are pretty quick and simple to do. :)
A little while after getting my rejection e-mail, I saw that German went back up for adoption. I've already applied twice and been denied, but as I said in my application, I clearly already know what it feels like to be rejected, so the prospect of it is less scary for this listing. :) As with others recently, I have a ton of things I'd love to do with it, but we'll see how it goes. :) I'm not a native speaker, which in some ways makes me feel like a native speaker is more deserving by default, but at the same times, I feel like chosen love is something really special, so no matter which way it goes, I think it should be great. :) I'm hoping it gets some awesome applications!
If I don't get any applications by tomorrow, I'm going to close Newsweek. :( I don't feel like I can quite bring myself to close Emiliana, Afterglow, or the Misogynists HL, so those will stay up. I've actually be listening to a lot more Emiliana lately and am now feeling like it's not one I would really want to part with, so that's a good thing. :) But boy, does it need a layout! So those might be some other summer projects for me.
