GQ is a magazine for men, and it makes objects out of women, as does every other damn mag on this stupid rock.  ya know, this whole finals thing is crap.  my math final is kicking my ass all over this room, and biology ain't looking any prettier.  oh well.  i shall stay strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;going to Disneyland over Xmas.  fantastic!  you will find me at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride...and that's about it.  perhaps the Deppster will show his beloved, wonderful face.  yes, doubtful i am, but that's fine.  yay for trips!  i just want out of this place, but that doesn't mean i'm going to enjoy all that time with my family...erg.  going from complete freedom to prison ain't such a nice thing.  i'm not looking forward to this month.  it's just unfair, it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well i'm off to watch more Johnny.  marvelous, beautiful man.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5247336-107111750734126510?l=rainjewel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5247336/posts/default/107111750734126510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5247336/posts/default/107111750734126510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rainjewel.blogspot.com/2003_12_07_archive.html#107111750734126510' title=''/><author><name>rainjewel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03871134718491581660</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247336.post-107085099366220590</id><published>2003-12-07T18:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-12-07T18:38:11.450-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Cleaning the old room-o.

Inu-Yasha NEVER comes off nice (at least to Kagome), except in moments where he turns the scene into an absolute mush fest. it's so completely enticing! he has these two different extremes as a character...i simply, completely, without a doubt, adore that scene where he turns human and is badly injured by that pscho spider-monk scene (albeit, the subbing "Give me your lap." comment was a bit...brusque? that and i about died laughing from it. really, it's a lot of fun to walk around commanding of people. "GIVE ME YOUR LAP." Beeyotch). i love that scene. and the famous, "i-was-so-scared-i-was-going-to-lose-you-but-back-to-the-well-with-you-wench" scene. he just sounds so nice and broken when he tells kagome he was scared. AAAAAHHHH!!! all together now. AAAAAAAHHHHH. very good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inu-Yasha rocks my bananas, if you couldn't tell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, i really need to stop finding a new anime character to crush to death with my affections every other week. seriously...i need a life! a life now! but like any true otaku, i know that anime boys and girls are much better than realy people. they never talk back! well...they never really do much of anything for that matter. i just wish there were better girls in anime. jeez-loo-weez. girl role models? let's look at one very bubbly example: Sailor Moon/Usagi/Serena/Bunny/Odango/Too/Many/Goddamn/Names (she has about as many names as that freaking Aragorn!). she's stupid. she eats food like a shop vac eats dust, a crybaby, and have you ever noticed how she never attacks without being told too? my god! she runs around and gets hurt (or all the other sailors get hurt protecting her), tuxedo mask (TUXEDO-KAMEN-SAMA!! those words haunt me *sighs*) shows up on some weird, undoubtedly high location, spouts a speech that rivals the thinking of Treize Khushrenada and has enough sugar-coated love morals to make me marry my dentist, and THEN AND ONLY THEN, will she use her power after dear Tuxedo Mask says something like "Now!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strong words my friend, strong words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and there's really no end to it. all anime heroines are weird. all of them are usually completely horrid to the guys they truly like, or they're wusses, or they're, ya know, clones of the guy's mother's soul. yay to Evangelion for that lovely piece of imagery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ah, phone call! i have friends! later, amigas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5247336-106244879807394105?l=rainjewel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5247336/posts/default/106244879807394105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5247336/posts/default/106244879807394105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rainjewel.blogspot.com/2003_08_31_archive.html#106244879807394105' title=''/><author><name>rainjewel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03871134718491581660</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247336.post-106209727713530332</id><published>2003-08-28T12:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-08-28T12:01:17.003-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i am so damn pissed at this moment. i cannot, for the life of me, find a download for Diane Michelle's "Back in Love" (english ending them to the first El-Hazard OVA series). i have everything else i want...but this! and it's such a damn cute song! and Alielle is pretty damn cute herself, despite the horny little slut factor. i mean, she's kugging princess Fatora (who for the record is a bitch)...but she's a princess! what is WITH these two? they're both exceptionally good looking, and they obviously care about each other, yet all they do is hit on Shayla-Shayla and Nanami (well that's Fatora's record, but Alielle will hit on anything with boobs). *sighs* but i want that song! it's all i want! jeez! i found all my inyasha, i found my wonderful fave Ranma songs...i also can't get any Evangelion music for the bloody life of me, but oh well. but i do have a cute new chobits song. i suppose i should shut up and maybe go off to my english class. yare yare!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5247336-106209727713530332?l=rainjewel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5247336/posts/default/106209727713530332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5247336/posts/default/106209727713530332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rainjewel.blogspot.com/2003_08_24_archive.html#106209727713530332' title=''/><author><name>rainjewel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03871134718491581660</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247336.post-106167703136288426</id><published>2003-08-23T15:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-08-23T15:17:11.363-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>WHEE!

You know, it's rather frightening that Zel has such a large fanbase that seems quite hellbent on making him into some supergod and Amelia into a crack-addict-justice-freak. i loved the guy since the minute the opening credits rolled for the first season, and i didn't even know what a cynical, serious dude he was. however, everyone seems to give Zel perhaps a little more credit than he is due, just simply by character misrepresentation. I mean, Zelgadis Greywords has faults. Amelia wil Tesla Saillune ALSO has faults, but they both have good points as do most people (exceptions to this rule would be people like...oh....Hellmaster Phibrizzo who was just plain evil and psychotic to boot. And don't start with the argument that there was redemption to be found in him because he didn't kill Martina when he first revealed himself to be the Hellmaster because eventually he DID kill her, the man she loved, and all her friends save Lina Inverse, who he then used to try and destroy the world. That makes him a major baddie in my book). But I digress. I would begin to rant on Zel and Amelia and everyone else, but I suggest that you visit this site here: &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/mascotterra/slayersmain.htm"&gt;http://www.geocities.com/mascotterra/slayersmain.htm&lt;/a&gt; which is officially the most mature and serious informative shrine to the characters of slayers. It's Pro-Amelia and Pro-Canon Couplings. I, a notorious fan of non-canon/fanon pairings, adore this site. And in complete honesty, Amelia does get on my nerves occasionally. But so does Zel, Lina, and Gourry, and especially Zangulus who more or less confuses the poo out of me. He just seems so aimless, while at the same time constantly trying to fight Gourry....again. Feh.

YAY. all right, no one go "EEWW." i'll kill you. i promise. actually that's not good news at all, but i have to put SOMETHING down, don't i? well, i did see bennett today, and she brought me back my esca tapes (DOUBLE YAY), alongside a pic she drew for me. chibi heero and duo. me wuv 'em. that is my shining ray of sunlight in a day that sucked in every other way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;currently i am smacking around an english assignment, which concerns writing a story about knights, damsels, and King Arthur. it'd be easy if i knew a small tidbit about ol' Arty, aside from the vast insight i gained from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. does the black knight ALWAYS have to win? oh well. bad as it's going, i'll post it at fictionpress.net anyway, seeing as how fanfiction.net finally realized what their name meant. ^.^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well i must return to my saga, "Of Gabriel and Brint." stupid, stupid name for a stupid, stupid project. but i must return to it anyhow.
