   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... ^_^)
