anniversaries, turkey, and pain medication
hello,
it's my two year anniversy on myotaku! i feel old now it seems like forever ago that i stared myo oh well time flies when your having fun!

well last time i posted i mentioned that i was going to be getting a root canal done. i did get one done and it took forever! my jaw was so tired while they were working on it that i just wanted to close my mouth but i couldn't and they kept yelling at me! then i had to have three fillings put in right after that and my wisdom tooth pulled! don't worry they had me so numbed i couldn't feel anything except for the shots those hurt so bad i nearly cried! i didn't come to school yesterday (which is why i didn't post) but i did come today because the pain has subsided for the moment that and because i'm hopped up on pain medication -_^

tomorrow is thanksgiving as i'm sure you all know.
it's the only holiday that allows you to eat your own weight in turkey! (i don't do that) i won't be posting again till monday so i hope everyone has a great thanksgiving!

yes and i nearly forgot that wednesdays are my manga review days so i'll do that now.

~redmoonchick's super manga review!~ editon #2
last week i reviewed the manga "death note" a fairly unisex manga. this week the boys aren't so lucky. because this week i'm reviewing the manga "beauty pop"! a shojo manga released by viz.
beauty pop is about a girl named kiri who goes to a school with three boys who are beauty experts (one cut's hair, one does nails, and the other does overall beauty) these boys call themselves the scissor's project. kirir the heroine also does hair but she does it in disgiuse. working on girls that the scissor project finds too "ugly" to help. kiri is very skilled and people begin to notice labeling her the mysterious "X". before too long the scissor's project boy's find out that kiri is "x" and decide to hold a contest between the two. kiri vs. all the boys to see who is the better stylist!
what i liked about "beauty pop" is that some of the character's are very likable like kiri and her friends. while other character's like the scissor boy's you want to punch in the face for some of the things they say to the girl's they deem "ugly". i also enjoyed seeing the hairstlyes that kiri created and how each person she helped got a happy ending nice if not a little cheesy. the character's hairstlyes in "beauty pop" are good and i don't know about other girls but i found myself copying some of the easier ones in the manga.
as for some things i didn't like. sometimes the boy's are just a little too mean to the girl's in the manga paticularly the girl in the last chapter (who happens to be bigger)but i guess it helps keep the manga true to life because who hasn't been picked on because of the way they look before.
i really enjoyed "beauty pop" which is rare because i don't usually go for shojo but the character's are compelling and if you read volume one it leaves you with a cliff hanger that i guarantee will make you pick up volume 2 (which comes out in december)
overall i enjoyed "beauty pop" it's a light airy read that's not to serious.
