I promised Ikasu-sensei that I would post this, as she wanted to see Lulu and his cat-walk (GET IT?!) of shame that I talked about in my last post. I'm a girl of my word (...about three days after the fact).

( do your little turn on the cat-walk )

The rest of this post was intended to be full of lame soul searching, but I figure Lelouch and his cats should stand alone. Off to work I go.

more things I should not have bought but it could not be helped. really. honestly.

I know at this point you guys must think I'm rollin' in dough, but I'm not. I just go where the sales are. >_>

BEWARE OF HUGE AND CRAPPY IMAGES UNDER THE CUT

I really gotta stop goin' to the city for a while.

Today was an extraordinarily LONG day-- but I mean that in a good way. I actually got my car yesterday (and have since affectionately dubbed him Grell, after the FAAAABULOUS and ridiculous red head from Kuroshitsuji, because my car is also fabulous. And very red), and driving it was a bit... well, it's not that hard. But the first test drive was like taking a test all over again. And I always have to remind myself "TO THE LEFT" when making a turn. I still have this urge to veer to the right. But anyway, today I put on my brave face, pulled out a map, and resolved to find my bank without having to ask for directions. After driving around half of the town in confusion, I found it. Eventually. Pfft.

After that I drove the car back home and biked to the station to hitch a ride for Niigata city, woooo. I went to see Summer Wars, which was, quite frankly, awesome.


( THE POWER OF LELOUCH'S HIPS COMPELS YOU )

Tomorrow is laundry/lesson planning/zone out day. *yawn*

Jacked from yaminokaitou. Woooo.

Is there a hobby you want to take up?
- Many, many things. The problem is I tend to have ADD. So initially I always start with a lot of interest and I throw myself into things fully-- and then not too soon after, I'm looking for something else.

What is your favorite time of day and why?
- Night time/early, early morning. I tend to be more creative during this time. Some of my best ideas came to me at 2 and 3 in the morning, haha

What kind of books do you read?
- History, when I actually manage to crack open a book.

What is the weather like today?
- Humid and rainy. YUCK.

What's a major wishlister of yours?
- Like, thing that I really want you mean? I guess that would be to travel the world.

Who is your celebrity crush?
- At the moment it is totally Sakurai Sho from ARASHI but I always feel like kind of a sleeze when I crush on singers/actors/etc.

What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
- Tales of Hearts, onigiri, and Taiko no Tatsujin.

What are you listening to right now?
- Tv in the background (lunch hour at the office)

What food could you eat every day for weeks and not get sick of?
- Pizza and/or spaghetti.

What websites do you always visit when you go online?
- LJ, NeoRomance forum, Blogger, JapanToday, Twitter.

What was the last thing you bought?
- A train ticket. Commuting is expensive!

What was the cutest thing you've seen today?
- Junior high kids playing baseball~ *MOEEEEE* (lol totally not 'moe' at all by maybe Japanese standards, but I find the strangest things cute)

Does the weather affect your mood?
- I don't think so. Like if it's dark and gloomy out, I kind of like it. Sunny days are nice too of course. I like rainy days, though combined with humidity it's pretty gross. But my mood doesn't change really.

What is your zodiac sign?
- Sagittarius

Do you want to learn another language?
- Oh for sure. I'd like to go back to learning Russian again, then some French, Korean, and Italian.

What do you like to do when you need cheering up?
- Music. Combine that with biking and/or video games, and I feel 100x better.

If you had to live in another country, what country would you live in?
- Italy! Sounds like such a beautiful country. Too bad I don't know any Italian, lol.

One thing you want to change about yourself.
- Everything, haaah.

What are you looking forward to?
- Going to Niigata again this weekend to maybe see a movie by myself. Maybe.

I have nothing interesting to share. Like that's anything new. Since I haven't really started working yet, I usually have a lot of time to kill after sitting in an office staring at the wall all day, haha. I've traveled around town quite a bit, and it's good exercise, but that's about all I do after work everyday. Which is not a complaint at all. I love biking! When I'm not biking (which is like... at the end of the day), I stay here and watch Japanese television, which is almost an endless source of entertainment based on its commercials alone.

A weekend or so ago, I did go to Niigata city, which is about an hour and 10 minutes or so away from the village I'm in by train. I went there with the intent of exploring, but the weather was so crummy that I almost considered heading back a little while after I got there. I did cover several blocks though, so my $10 trip would not be a total waste... and I was rewarded with finding an Animate. And it's easy to find too. So I went in and looked around. Picked up some (relatively cheap) junk. Woooo.

( lol merchandise (huge pictures under here folks) )

the end.

*plays Tales of Hearts wooo*

lol i'm still not packed. *screwed*

um yeah video games

( very odd assortment under here: Duel Love, Gyakuten Kenji (a.k.a. the 'EDGEWORTH IS AMAAAAZING' game), Kuroshitsuji, Oshare Princess DS. LOTS OF PICTURES UNDER THE CUT )

Aaaand I have a million other games I'm not done with yet, oh geez. And this post is way longer than it should be.

BACK FROM KANSAS CITY!

I guess not many people knew I was leaving, but... I DIGRESS.

It was a great time. Sensei is an awesome hostess and I am soooo grateful for all of her hospitality. ♥♥♥ Thank you sensei~~~! I also ate too much. *pinches stomach*

So. Japan in two weeks. What the flip. I'm a nervous wreck but I'm good at hiding it. Last week of work this week, I don't know how in the world that is going to go, but I guess I'll find out.

Too much other stuff happening. Too many bills to pay. Too many things I'm still not sure about.

*reads Angelic Layer and goes to bed*

video game ramble, move along, move along.

( I'M OVERLOADIIIIIIING (contains indepth thoughts on Lux Pain [no spoilers] and other stuff no one cares about) )

When did video games become my entire existence? *headdesk*

I never do these things but this one looked fun.

My answer: Takemoto Yuuta from Honey & Clover

From the moment I started the series, he was my favorite. Because something about him was very, very real to me. And I could see a lot of myself in him, which very rarely happens with me (I tend to "identify" with my favorite characters, but sometimes that just means I am more prone to say so because I like them, not because I actually am like them at all). It also helped that a lot of what he went through, particularly in the first season, was similar to what was going on in my own life at the time, what with struggling to find purpose and meaning, wanting something but not knowing how to get it, not knowing where to start. And just his attitude towards life, how he expressed himself (or rather how he was unable to sometimes), also kind of stepping aside and holding things in until he couldn't anymore-- synced pretty well with how I am, so... (and plus it has also been my dream to just get on a bike and ride until I can't ride anymore-- yeah I'm still planning to do this one of these days) It has been a while since I thought about this series, but I'd watch it all again just for him.

Bonus!Answer: Asch from Tales of the Abyss

This feels pathetic to say, even for me, because I have not gone through half of what he had to deal with. But. Asch was 75% of the reason I bawled like I did at the end of the game. Don't get me wrong, Guy and Luke were my favorites and I was moved by them as well-- but in a different way. With Asch, it felt like I was watching myself from several years ago. Asch is what I would have been in high school had I not tried to change. Had I not tried to let go of my bitterness, the feelings of betrayal and being cheated-- not cheated out of a life like Asch, but something similar. Which sounds dumb and lol everyone had it bad in middle school-- but yeah, I was a very angry person. And that anger has kind of followed me since. Like him, I can be incredibly difficult and stubborn, and I'm more prone to do things myself than rely on other people (though I insist on wanting to help others, and we know Asch didn't just HAPPEN to show up all the time because he was bored, c'mon). And though I do complain about many things, most of the time it's so much easier to not speak, to not tell others how I feel because of this need to deal with it on my own. I can be cold and just... wretched about it if I have to, just to push people away.

There's more to Asch than just negative things, but I don't try and fool myself into thinking I'm really as kind as he really is (because as I kinda hinted at before, we all know the boy is a pushover and has a heart of gold and all that). And I'm not totally like him, obviously-- he's not a total doofus like I am usually. I feel that if Asch had been given a little more time, he could have gotten a little better, maybe even have been a little more open, even if there was no possible way for things to ever be completely normal again. He deserved a chance to start over, like I kinda got when I got away from the people who shaped me into the moody person I am today, haha. I have people who care about me despite me being a total bitch sometimes (i love you all ♥ ). He had to leave behind the people who could have helped him through it. (Like Natalia. *shakes fist at failed OTP*)

LOL EMO. Okay goodnight.

p.s. If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

I am just full of memes tonight.

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO POST THIS but watch me do it anyway.

I spent an entire evening frolicking in a parking lot with a bunch of kids and I have to say, it was pretty eye opening. Considering I'm going to be teaching middle school/elementary children in the near future, I figured "Well hey, why don't I try spending some time with some kids here" and I gotta say, I'm TERRIBLE at asserting authority. I'm more like "Hey guys, what's up *acts 13*". I don't know what I'm going to do when faced with a situation that requires me to act, y'know, my age. Because as it is, kids don't listen to me. They'll hang with me, but not follow my instructions because none of them consider me an adult. Which I suppose in some ways is good, since a good portion of them find adults irritating and won't speak to them, but at the same time, if I tell a kid not to throw rocks and they still do it anyway, I can only give them a stern look but I don't know how to come across without looking like I'm trying too hard (then again, who the hell am I trying to impress?).

All that aside, I told one of the kids that Pokemon Gold was getting remade and she freaked out. And then I told her that I was going to get it and another kid was like "Dude, you're going to buy it? Aren't you like... 20?" And I just kinda smirked and said "yeah, so?" And he's like "lol ur awesome"

*EGO BOOST*

Although you should never tell a kid who's hardcore into pokemon that Digimon is a better tv show. Because they will tackle you into the dirt and call you a liar. TEAM DIGIMON!

So yeah. My brother is cleaning up on Persona 3 and I've watched it so much I'm practically dreaming about it, so it kind of feels like I'm playing it too. Good heavens it seems complicated. I don't think I'll ever play it, but watching the characters is pretty fascinating. And my brother likes it too, even though when I got it for him the first time around, he played for like an hour and said it was stupid. Now he can't shut up about it. Go figure. So far from what I can tell, Junpei is like, still my favorite character. He's the only one who's not so emo that I want to kick him in the face like everybody else. Predictable Omi is predictable. Though I would still go out with Akihiko, when he's not being a douche or making out with Mitsuru.

I haven't gamed in a few days, mostly because I've come home and just not wanted to do anything, and when I have break at work, I try not to play anything too complicated, because the last thing I need is to get into an epic cutscene only to have to turn it off because oops mah break is over. I haven't watched anything lately either... *mellllltiiiiing*

Thus... I have nothing of value to talk about obviously. So much going on, and yet nothing going on. Weird.

By the way, why is the weather so crappy lately? ...Where is summer? I hate summer, and even *I* miss it. WTF at all the gray clouds everywhere.

First of all: Happy Birthday ♥ to mah buchou, yaminokaitou

Second: This weekend was kind of pathetic. Nothing happened and I was conked out for most of it. Blaaargh. But I get a short week at work again (because of my crafty vacation planning skillz), so maybe next time I can sleep because I want to, not because I'm OD'ing on pills.

On the real life front, mom lost her job last week, so things have been tense about that. At least we knew it was coming kinda, though that doesn't make it any less sucky. But, we're praying something will turn up, big or small.

At work people are kind of freaked about me leaving because it's probably going to make things that much more difficult. There's a lot of pressure on them to find someone new and rearrange the departments, and a lot of pressure on me to teach whoever replaces me. Which is like, crap, because I hardly know my own job anymore. It's changed since last fall, because of the whole buyer change and I only do maybe half of what my predecessor trained me to do, so I can only hope that I'm able to give the new person the correct info. ...not that it'll be my problem anymore after I leave, but that makes me feel like a douche for saying that, so, nevermind.

VIDEO GAMES WOO

Okay guys, Professor Layton and the Curious Village makes me feel like a dumbass. It's a mystery/puzzle/adventure thingy that fools you into thinking it'll just be a cute and fun sort of thing but really it's just out to make you feel bad about yourself for not using our God-given sense. After about three hours of play I am ready to put it down and put myself out of my misery because obviously I don't deserve to live for not being able to figure out even the simple ones. But then, I've never really been a puzzle/riddle type of person (lol thinking outside of the box? wtf does that even mean?), but I need more brain exercise in my life. Well... this game gave it to me. Really I'm only playing it for the British accents. And the fact that the little kid/side kick is named 'Luke' puts strange yet charming images in my head of little Abyss!Luke running around in shorts and a cute cap and being like 'what should we do next, Professor?! :D' Of course Jade would logically be the professor, but somehow in my head it always ends up being Guy (who looks fabulous in a top hat, I must say). But, moral of the story: I'm still a dumbass.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 on the other hand... well gosh, it just suits me perfectly. Granted I would probably enjoy it more in english, but then I don't really need English to enjoy pedobait!Roxas, do I. So far running around with the Orgy members (lol... orgy *immature*) is probably the best idea anybody could have come up with ever, even it most of them are very bitchy and only want to yell at me because Roxas is kind of a doof right now. A doof as in, 'duuuuh what are we doing what's a heart i don't get it i need someone to hold my hand while I pee'. Which Axel gladly does for him. The explaining I mean, nobody uses the bathroom, I swear. Though I bet Axel would oblige for him, if asked. He's just that nice of a guy in this game. Which, kind of confounds me, because they're really laying it on thick with that 'omg we're bffs man'. Eating ice cream on the clock tower everyday after a mission sounds totally ideal and it's very cute though, so, no complaints. Just interesting.

I'm not completely lost as far as plot goes though, but I can't even described how screwed up it appears to be. I googled it. And the more I read, the more horrified I became. I can't wait to play this in English.

Lux Pain deserves it's own damn entry, because I really want to gripe about it. I'm simultaneously bored out of my skull and curious as to WTF is really going on. For the umpteenth time I am so glad I did not pay for this.

And that's it, short and painless, g'night.

BIG MASSIVE EDIT: ( WAIT HAVE YOU SEEN THIS OMG )

Finished Vesperia this weekend. SCORE.

( ...I'm proud to call you the mother of my children, Yuri Lowell )

Also finished Infinite Ryvius with Michelle-hime and Aya. It took us, what, almost 8 years to finish this show? IT'S ONLY 26 EPISODES. We're awesome.

This series ruined space for me. I would never want to go there, especially if I was trapped with a bunch of stupid kids who don't know how to take a friggin' chill pill. Kouji takes the award for the most pathetic protagonist in the history of ever, and yet-- I think he was my favorite character, because damn, he needs SOMEBODY to like him. I don't know what it says about me when my fav character in a series is the one who gets the stuffing beat out of him and ends up in a concussion every single episode. I wish I was exaggerating. Why did he only get kinda cool in the last two episodes?

Meh.

p.s.: HOW IS IT JUNE ALREADY

Okay, quickie update. For some reason everyday this week I've come home from work with the intent of doing a bunch of things, but the minute I have a chance to sit down, I'm out like a light. I swear I'm narcoleptic sometimes. So yeah, I always wake up 4 hours later very groggy and disoriented and everyone else is asleep. What the hell, body.

Anyway, list:

( real life: JET, jobs, etc. )

Okay RL is semi-depressing, cutting to video games.

( video games )

And that's it for right now. I really want to talk about Avalon Code one of these days (which I actually own, haha), and since I finished it a long time ago and have started over, perhaps I'll have more to say about it next time. Yosh. G'night.

This is mostly for Aya-buchou's benefit: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6666795

It's a video from the Japanese version of Vesperia. We were super curious about the Japanese voices, and I've gotta say, I prefer the english for everyone except maybe Yuri (haven't heard Flynn's yet tho').

Yuri - The same, sexy and totally flippant about everything
Estelle - She sounds more like an airhead than she did in English, and that's saying A LOT.
Karol - He sounds like a mascot more than a human character. It disturbs me.
Judith - ...She actually doesn't sound too bad, and she still has that 'lol you're all dumber than me' way of speaking.
Rita - Not fond of it, despite sounding less bitchy.
Raven - I don't know, almost the same, just, um, okay. lol It fits pretty well though.
Duke - HAHAHA okay I thought he'd sound like a little boy in Japanese to counter his deep rumbling tone in English, but it's also creepily similar in Japanese. Go figure!

I really need to hear Flynn's now.

+ GURREN LAGANN MOVIE = EPICCCCCCCC. Okay, it really was just the first half of the series condensed into an hour +, but y'know, it was still really good somehow. And Kamina still gets me EVERY DAMN TIME. The action scenes in this? Spectacular. Successful squishing of a lot of content into an itty bit block of time? Well... it could have been worse. Character development? Failed just a tad. Well, maybe more than a tad. Kamina and Simon were flushed out pretty well despite the circumstances, which is to be expected, Yoko a little less than the series, but still pretty good, and even Nia, who isn't in the movie until it's almost over, had more development than, say, Roissu or Kittan. Kinda sad... BUT STILL GOOD. I just wouldn't recommend watching this too soon after finishing the show, because then it just feels like deja vu. Now if I could just watch the second movie I'll be all good. I haven't seen a torrent for it though.

+ Kuroshitsuji - LOL OKAY I CRIED. It's over and now I... now I don't know what to do. This anime started out as a guilty pleasure and turned into that much more, all in the span of like three episodes. I still think the whole lot of it is just fanservice, but the ENDING. Oof. Yeah, I'm still weeping, haaah.

( more thoughts on this (with spoilers), feel free to skip since it's just some tl;dr BAWWWWW-ing anyway )

What's next? I don't know. *mope* We'll see what happens tomorrow, I am exhausted. Finishing series takes a lot out of me.

In other news-- Almost done with Vesperia, ARGGGH. Last... effing... boss. I get a four day weekend this week and can you believe we're almost done with May already? Where is this year going?

Still catching up suru, but first, a meme-- brought to you by bangflip.

Comment and I'll give you three fandoms to meme.
She gave me code geass (aww dammit), ouran, tales of (what? I think I'll just pick one)

this is like that other meme, only less wordy. i think.

code geass
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?: I don't remember. I can't say it was the first time Michelle-hime showed it to me, because that would be kind of a lie. Probably the crack that the fandom produced.
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA *insane*
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?: No real favorites, I think. I liked all of R1, and then I liked episode 23. Everything else is a blur.
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?: I probably should be but I'm embarrassed and afraid of being shunned (only cool people are in this fandom, tru fax).
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?: ...No.

Ouran High School Host Club
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?: Tamaki.
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?: I think I already have "moved on" so to speak, but it still holds a special place in my heart.
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?: The newspaper episode and the one about how Kyouya and Tamaki met. ...basically all the Tamaki-centric ones though. *I'm sensing a theme here*
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?: I'm a lurker, I should have mentioned that before.
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?: Yes, though I think it's partially dead now. :/

Tales of....... *drum roll* everything hurr
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?: It's all Aya's fault. Entirely.
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?: I'm in the middle of it so naturally right now I don't think I'll ever move on.
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?: Favorite... um. Abyss. Though Vesperia is waaaay up there now, but probably for all the wrong reasons.
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?: ... *lurk lurk lurk* I write a lot of fanfiction for Abyss (and lately Vesperia) though, I just don't post it anymore. And I want to contribute more doujin and graphics. *is so effing lazy*
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?: DO IT.

okay back to that stupid list thing I was doing:

+ Kuroshitsuji - I'm hooked again and my torrents are SO SLOW. And okay, do they really want me to believe that Sebastian is not a creepy pedophile? Because he is. And Grell is... wow. Just. WOW. FABULOUS WITH A CAPITAL 'F'. I am half way to the end. Ganbaroooo

+ World Destruction - LOL I can't believe I'm still trying to finish this, but I honestly think it's cute. I even like the female lead, which is... kind of creeping me out. Kyrie is so adorable and worthless too. Unfff.

+ Bakuman - THIS IS NOT AN ANIME WHAT IS IT DOING HERE-- okay so I started reading this and it is the only manga I've read in like a year and a half and I am in love with it and that's all I'm going to say right now eeee~

My folder looks cleaner already and I only watched two things today. I'm going to try and polish off the Gurren Lagann movie tomorrow (I AM LITERALLY VIBRATING WITH EXCITEMENT AND MANLY, MANLY EMOTIONS) and maaaaybe (quite possibly) get back to Eden of the East.

Real life lately = retarded. I like the weather though, even though it can't decide what it wants to do.

Time is flying by lately.

I haven't had like a real post about anime in a long time.

teh list a.k.a stuff-I-should-have-finished-six-seasons-ago:

+ Amatsuki - YES! I FINISHED IT. AFTER HOW MANY MONTHS OF STARING AT THE SAME TWO FILES SITTING IN MY TORRENT FOLDER. And it was terrible. Terrible as in terribly cliff hangy. I know a lot of people quit watching this like 6 episodes ago because it just seemed far too slow, but that was something I didn't really mind. The problem is that because it was soooo sloooow for 11 episodes, when it gets to the final two they're like, "OKAY TIME TO DROP A BOMB ON YOU LOL *plot happens*" and you're like, 'wait, but the show is... WAIT JUST A DAMN MINUTE--' but your cries go on deaf ears because the show is over. Whoops. I still loved it. Season 2 yes plz.

+ .hack//G.U. Trilogy - Otherwise known as "Sakurai Takahiro grunts and screams for an hour and a half". This was kind of a disappointment. The animation? Spectacular. The choppy retelling of the games that I love so dearly? Not so much. (though Sakurai Takahiro grunting and screaming is pretty sexy. Just not for an hour and a half.)

+ Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Parallel Works - Okay this doesn't really count as an anime I guess, since it's basically made up of 8 music videos. Most of which are TOTALLY AWESOME. Viral was in it a lot. Playing pachinko and riding on a horse and SAVING TEH DAY. With guest appearances by Kamina and Simon a.k.a the main characters lawl. Speaking of which, I also watched Viral's Sweet Dream, which is like this short OAV thing that makes me want to marry Viral and have lots of cute little beast babies with him. Meanwhile, I continue to wait for the movie to finish downloading (I don't even know why I want to see it so badly since it's just a retelling of the show, but mmmmm Kamina).

+ Axis Powers Hetalia - This show = PFFFFTTTTT. I don't even know anymore. It's absolutely hysterical and yet sometimes after an episode I sit and wonder what the hell I just watched. It is such a good stress reliever though. Oh, and here's my updated favorite character hierarchy:

1. America - I have never identified with my country more than when I watch this guy be a complete and total doofus. GOD BLESS AMERICA, YA'LL
2. Austria - Okay this is kind of WTF because um, Austria? It took me way longer than necessary to find his country on a map the other day. *TYPICAL AMERICAN HURR okay America couldn't even find Japan on a map, i think that means we're bffs* He's awesome though.
3. Italy - Ah, mi amore~! ;___; Oh you moved down to #3... But I still love you more than PASTAAAA. ....Maybe only a little more than pasta, but y'know.
4. Japan - I don't know why, because I didn't think I'd like him at all, but somehow he's higher on the list than France who...
5. France - ...is FANTASTIC. BELLISSIMO~ oh wait that's Italian, mah bad. But anyway, LOL FRANCE IS MADE OF SO MUCH FAIL but I love him so.
6. Germany - Also made fail, but much less than Italy or France, and I feel bad that he is so low 'cause I do like him. *eats sausage*
7. Britain - BURN THE WITCH. he really is a witch though, he casts curses and stuff... And those eyebrows. I'd still invite him to a fancy tea party~
8. Russia - Okay Russia scares the hell out of me. That's... that's all I gotta say.
9. ....everyone else. lawl

----
okay now for things I need to watch next, hopefully during the rest of this week:
+ Kuroshitsuji - I AM GOING TO FINISH THIS OR DIE TRYING.
+ Gundam 00 - lol nobody even talks about this anymore. :/ *missed the fandom boat*
+ Eden of the East/Higashi no Eden - I saw two eps of this and I really liked it, except that was a while ago and it's probably time to go watch more. Very well done though, so far. Let's see how long it is before I finally up and finish it, haaah.
+ 07-Ghost - Oh it is so pretty but I'm probably going to drop it... *mopes*
+ World Destruction - HAHAHA I did say I'm like three or four seasons behind, didn't I?
+ Natsume Yuujinchou - This show fascinates me. Must finish.
+ Tales of the Abyss - :|
+ Baccano! - AHHHHHHHH WHEN IS THE REST OF THIS COMING OUT ON DVD
+ Air Gear - I kinda wish I didn't own this.

So I've had Lelouch and Suzaku on the brain for an unhealthy amount of time-- and I really think they are my ultimate BROTP and even though I have a lot of those, these two appear to have eaten my brain.

Please note I haven't watched Code Geass or thought about the show since it ended. So I made an fst about it (that's logical!).

Born out of frustration at life events and at my lack of creativity in all other departments. Oh, and not to mention, they ate my brain, like I said. Let's pretend this is a really bad fanfic.

This doesn't have a title, nor does it have fabulous cover art. Maybe this will suffice:



Or not. I made that ugly thing ages ago. Why does it even exist.

( this is really long you guys i'm sorry )

( or maybe just skip my smartass commentary and get some free music )

And now that that's over with, regular, normal posts that have nothing to do with Lelouch or Suzaku or anything similar will resume someday. That's all.

Okay, so I went to see a movie yesterday, and I learned one thing:

ZAC EFRON IS AMAAAAAZIIIING

Seriously, 17 Again was waaay better than I thought it would be. And that's saying a lot, because I wasn't expecting that much. Considering the only reason I wanted to go was to see Zac shirtless, finding out that he actually CAN act outside of the cheesy Disney stereotype (though I do love High School Musical, don't get me wrong) was so nice. Granted he still played a high school basketball playing star, but I think this film showed me he could definitely do more. Also, he's just plain hot. Like my friend Corissa said (who I inevitably dragged to the movie with me because facing a whole theater full of noisy, texting teenagers all by myself would just make me so depressed), he has this way of smiling and speaking that just... just... Unf. Nevermind the fact that crushing on this kid makes me feel like a dirty old woman (...which I am, honestly)-- I'd hit it.

*has lost all credibility as a mature and responsible young woman now*

Oh wait, this is the same person who has already proposed marriage to a fictional character, WHOOPS. I guess I'm good then.

And sorry Zac, guess you'll have to wait until Suzaku divorces me and leaves me for zombie!Euphemia or something
