*hugs jmtorres*

I'm watching Utena, and I'd forgotten how much I loved it. I just watched ep 20, "Wakaba has flourished verdently" (I think). Man, it still makes me feel sorry for Wakaba, for being one of the people who really is just a bit-player, who'll never be particularly important in the grand scheme of things.

Then again, looking at it from that angle almost makes you see why Wakaba/Saionji could have worked. They're both characters helplessly overshadowed by their "best friend". They get caught up in the plots, but never really drive them. (Yes, I still love Saionji, brute that he may be.)

*sighs* Then again, the entire Black Rose saga is a bit like that. It's all these tertiary characters who never really get a say. And, if you think about it, a lot of the Akio Saga is about the secondary characters and taking advantage of their known weaknesses.

I love the shadow girls completely, and always will. However, the scenes where the Black Rose elevator's going down still gives me the impression of the coffins moving up, not the elevator moving down.

And, you know, I still kinda want an Akio icon with the caption "Super Slut Triumphant". Aestheticism once described him that way, and it's just stuck, regardless of his lack of actual... y'know, *triumph* per se.

Hmmm... I'm wondering if there's many people who'd be interested in getting together over, say, Easter Weekend, and watching some eps. We could pick a day in the long weekend, and overdose on pretty, gender-confusing anime. *g*

That is the second time tonight that PSP has closed on me when I'm within minutes of finishing this damn icon.

Man, I hope I saved sometime in the last half hour.

ETA: It was saved! Yay! (I mean, this wasn't the font I was going to use, but it's saved as JPEG, so there's no easy way to stuff around with fonts and layers now. It's like fate told me to stop messing around and go to bed.)

Quote is from Rocky Horror, and it seems highly suitable for Akio (and Revolutionary Girl Utena in general).

Hmmm... I have TV going in the background. On the good side, I just flicked and found Ashton Kutcher. Yes, I like the boy. He's pretty. (He doesn't need to be witty.)

Also saw an ad for "The L Word". On the good side, it's starting next Wednesday. On the bad side, it's taken Angel's timeslot at 10.30pm. (Apparently, in the age old fight of lesbians vs. vampires, the lesbians win the bette timeslot.)

*sighs* I guess Angel's move to 11.30pm on Thursdays is permanent, which means that the Buffy repeats won't be shown. Damn. I was enjoying watching the S1 fun.

Quiz

Sorry, guys. I know I'm spamming, but I just had to post this. It's a list of the most used words on my LJ. I'm so amused that it shows my Casey-love.

And now, I'm going to bed. *g*

Can't study. Clowns will eat me.

News today: I suck; mum rules.

I stayed up until 6am rereading "Being an Anchor". Yes, I've read it twice before. Yes, I know what's going to happen. (Intriguingly enough, I think I've become more picky with SN fiction. The over-use of "Case" started to bug me, and it's a pity that S2 directly contradicts certain aspects of that fic. Still love it, just was surprised to notice those things.)

So, yes, I should have studied today, but I slept in past midday, and woke up when mum came over at 1pm to encourage my studying. Man, she even bought me a "motivation present" - a funky little discman, which I've been hinting about for my birthday. Mum left after we watched Angel, and I just haven't got around to starting studying yet.

I could always do it later tonight, I'm just enjoying having the place to myself and being able to stay online at the moment. *g*

I think I'm going to write something for contrelamontre challenge, and see if I can work in all my most used LJ words.

This is highly interesting reading. It's one guy's experiment "To literally have sex with myself."

*sigh* You know you're too involved in SN fandom when you write feedback to a fic and say that it put a relationship into stark relief, and you have to fight the urge to write "stark relief (Bwah, bwaaah!)". Lord help me.

Well, I tried writing for the contrelamontre challenge this week, which was to including the following items:
- 4 yellow objects
- 3 different types of animals
- 2 mind-altering substances
- 1 pair of high heels

I got three of them, but ran out of time and couldn't add the mind-altering substance. So, here's a silly little SN fic to amuse you. ( Marigold and Saffron )
