   Alive!

Sorry for the whole week of not posting ^_^; I�ve been really busy. And tired. And depressed about my homework The list just goes on ^_^ I�ve discovered that buying books and manga is another form of therapy for me. All my busyness and anxiety just kind of built up on me Sunday morning, and when I saw how bright and sunny it was outside, I just went out the door and didn�t come back for about 3 and a half hours. Originally I was just going to the bank and gas station, then I decided to go out and look for the Fruits Basket card game since I decided it was time to buy myself something. I want those damn character cards! So, off I went to a semi-nearby comic shop to look and see if they had it (since Borders doesn�t carry it O_o). They didn�t, but they did have Trigun Maximum #8, so I bought that, and decided to run down to Gamer�s Paradise and see if they had it. They didn�t T_T They�d never even heard of it. So, I went to Waldenbooks and placated my sore feelings by buying 4 books (one of which was The Once and Future King, on sale for $7.99. Score!). Upon leaving the mall complex, I spied a Borders I had never been to before (I think), so I did a U-turn and decided to go for one last hopeless attempt at the game. I still failed to find it. But I did happen to spy the manga Juvenile Orion. Upon reading the first two chapters and scanning the back summaries, I got that shiver-y feeling that said �Buy all five volumes, it will save you gas money later��. Of course I listened to this voice (one of the more trustworthy ones in my head), and hauled all five volumes with me to the register (and actually, they only had #5 as part of a package thingy that came with a box for the other 4 volumes, plus two little Tsukasa and Tomonori key chains, so I had to shell out 10 extra bucks for that). As I left the store, I realized two things. First, my purchase of the Juvenile Orion mangas had completely made up for not finding the card game. And second that I had left my bottle of water on the register counter of Waldenbooks back at the mall O.O After deciding to leave my water to it�s fate, I vowed to one day find those damn cards, and to finally go home and do my massive drawing project. Well, things didn�t quite work out that way. Unable to leave unread new manga in order for homework, I quickly realized that the only way to get anything done was to just read the damn books now. So I did. In two hours. Damn does my brain hurt. Needless to say, they were good. And funny. And I wanted to cry when I discovered that the series is one of the first I�ve ever come across to NOT have an anime version somewhere. *sobs* Why! I mean, I know it�s kind of short, but that�s what 13 episode series� are for! It would be so pretty! *has short mental break-down* Ok, I�m done whining now ^_^ *sigh* Now I�m going to have to reread the series later at a slower pace, when I have more time. I can always look forward to that! I love the humor in it. Especially the relationship between Tomonori-sensei and Tsukasa. Overall, the story seems to support that they have a very much Father-Son relationship, but the author loves to put them in situations that can be easily misunderstood *Muwahaha!* It is the inevitable fate of bishonen. Much like cross-dressing. *more evil laughter* Anyway, I must go now to actually work on this project, so I will bid you all farewell. Bye! -Quotes of the Day- Itsuki: �Don�t cry. This was all my fault.� Kirihara: �No. Don�t blame yourself. You didn�t do anything.� Itsuki: �Hello!? I tried to kill you. That�s why Kaname transformed.� Kirihara: �Oh yeah� are you still going to kill me now?� Itsuki: *falls face-down* �Nah, the moment�s passed.� Kirihara: �Thank goodness.� Itsuki: *still face-down* �I don�t believe this girl.� Tsukasa: �Tomonori-san.� *hugs* �I wish you were my real father.� *Kirihara runs by* Kirihara: �Good morning!� *notices the hug* �Oh! I�m sorry. You were having a private moment.� *runs away really fast* Tomonori: �Kirihara!! Wait a minute. Don�t misunderstand!!" Kirihara: *as she runs away not listening* �Sorry!!� Tomonori: �Kirihara!!� Tsukasa: *laughs* Tomonori: �Tsukasa.� Tsukasa: �I do like you, Tomonori-san. Even if you aren�t my real father.� Tomonori: *slumps* �Stop. We don�t need any more misunderstandings.� Tsukasa: �Hahaha!� -Juvenile Orion- (those poor, poor bishonen... ^_^)
