I had to feed the cats right away lest they waste away. At least, that's what The Boy thinks at any rate. Today's a pretty slow day. I'm either going to post on IB today or tomorrow on my latest manga volumes. It depends on time and everything.
I had a little adventure yesterday. I was trying to print off a CD cover for the latest CD I burned, but I kept having problems. The printer carriage kept getting hung up. I was looking and looking to see if I could find the cause, but I couldn't see it. I was getting very frustrated to say the least. I kept trying different options and stuff to see what the problem was. So finally, I took another closer look inside the printer housing itself and came across the problem. There was someting stuck in the tracks preventing the carriage from going acrosss like it should. I plucked it out and was ready to toss it, but first I wanted to do a test print to double check and see if that was the only problem. Well, the test sheet printed off fine, but the paper drooped as it was coming out. I grabbed the trusty flashlight and took a gander. One of the flappy things that supports the paper as it come out was missing. Then, I take a closer look at the thing I took out of the printer tracks. Sure enough, it was one of the "wings." So, after a little bit of time I was able to reinstall it properly (getting the little spring in place and everything). Now, everything's hunky dory. Of course, I should have charged myself $50 for labor.
Here's an interesting meme I swiped from
flamika:
a. Post a list of fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favourite character and pairing from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
The ones I like that weren't guessed are italisized.
Fruits Basket (now keep in mind, I have quite a few)
flamika
Char: Hatsuharu, Rin, Kureno, Akito
Pairings: Haru/Rin, Kureno/Arisa, Shigure/Akito
Why I like these particular characters? Hmm, a bit of a toughie. I guess I just symathize with them to a great extent. I mean, Haru is just so cool and they way he cares for Rin is just so sweet and heartfelt. And Kureno's just such a sweetheart. I mean, look at all he's given up for the sake of one person. And as to him and Uo, well even though their meeting was pretty brief, they were actually very happy and they both really need that in thier lives (I know, longer than a sentence, I'm sorry).
Rurouni Kenshin
flamika
Char: Kenshin
Pairing: Kenshin/Kaoru
This one is easy. Kenshin is a really conflicted character who after years of being a professional killer, wants to do something good in his life and try and attone for his past. He can actually start to have the happiness he deserves with Kaoru.
Trigun also guessed by
flamika
Char: Vash
Pairing: Vash/Meryl
This is basically the same as Kenshin. Vash has been through a lot in his long life and basically all he wants to do his live on and try and be a regular guy and help people time and again, but his brother (and others) are just making it difficult for him. Meryl is one of the few people who see him as just that: a guy who wants to go on living and do the best he can in life. She sees the gentle caring person he really is and wants to share part of his burden with him which I think says a lot for her character (besides, I run the
vash_meryl community...)
Immortal Rain (this one's gonna be easy)
wicked_roses
Char: Rain
Pairing: Rain/Machika
What is it with me and angsty guys, eh? Rain is such a sweetheart, though. I mean, he's lived so long and had so much happen to him, he needs to have someone in his life that makes him happy, and that's Machika. True, she was out to kill him, but once she saw his true self, she couldn't help but fall for him. *squish*
Wolf's Rain
flamika was on a roll!
Char: Kiba
Pairing: Hige/Blue
What is is about Kiba that draws me to him? Is it his beautiful eyes or his fierce determination. It's one of those, I know. Plus, the whole time he kept thinking he was such a loner, but then he found true friendship within his small pack. And Hige and Blue's blossoming relationship was just so cute. And towards the end... *hold back tears* Those last moments always leave me feeling verklempt.
Saiyuki
flamika
Char: Hakkai
Pairing: none
I like Hakkai a lot. Again, sweet guys with a dark past. I feel an incredible amout of sympathy towards guys like him. He deserved none of what happened to him. He has such scars, not just physically, but emotionally as well.
Witch Hunter Robin
flamika
Char: Amon
Pairings: none
I like Amon a lot. For crying out loud, he's my RPG husband! So dark, mysterious and broody. As well as sexy as hell. *spaces out* I'm sorry, where was I... As you can see, no pairings. No robbing the cradle for this girl! *glomps Amon* Step back you read-headed hussy!
Yuu Yuu Hakusho
flamika
Char:Kurama
Pairing: Yuusuke/Keiko
Yup, I likes Kurama. He's a really nice guy, but not someone I'd wanna cross, that's for sure. And did I mention his Yoko form? *drooools* And I like Yuusuke and Keiko together. He's a bit of a punk, but I think Keiko's the only one who can keep him in line. *curses Cartoon Netwoork for taking it off the air before the whole 'evil Spirit Detective' arc gets resolved*
Death Note yep, you guessed it,
flamika, which is only fair since she's the one who intorduced me to the series in the first place...
Char:L
Pairing: none, really
Yep, I'm an L fangirl! He's just so quirky and intelligent. And even though he looks as though he needs a good grooming and in need of sleep, I find him kinda cute. Besides, he's actually pretty athletic, believe it or not! I don't really have a pairing for this series. I mean, Misa's a bit... annoying at times. Time will tell...
Hellsing
flamika
Char: Pip, Alucard
Pairing: Pip/Seras, Alucard/Integra
Yup, I love Pip! He's just such a card! Really! He's a great character and brings so much to the series. I also like Alucard a whole lot too simply because he's just so cool! And the Pip/Seras relationship started off a awkward and cute to touching and tragic... I/A just has sooo much potential.
MARS (What!? No one guessed this one!? For shame!)
Char: Rei
Paring: Rei/Kira (of course)
Of course I would pick Rei! He's not only a hottie, but again with the mysterious and dark past with which he finds help with due to his relationship with Kira. Not to sound so cliche, but she brings the much needed light to his darkness. There's been many a time while reading this series where I wished I was her...
The Wallflower (this one's a new one for me, and I don't speak of it much, so no surprise no one got it --but I would have thought
elvenmoon would have taken a stab at it!!)
Char: Kyohei, Sunako
Pairing: Kyohei/Sunako
Kyohei maybe a bad boy, but he's really very sweet. He just tries to hide it. He's been the one to get to Sunako the most and she seems most protective of him. Which is why I think they'd be so cute together. Plus, they both can kick ass.
Slayers
Char: Zelgadiss
Pairing: Zel/Amelia, Lina/Gourry
I just adore Zel! Yes, again with the angst, but I think he's mellowed some since the start of the series. Amelia's helped with that, I think. She helps to lighten his mood. There are so many sites that explain their whole dynamic much better than I could.
InuYasha
flamika
Char: InuYasha
Pairing: Inu/Kag, Miroku/Sango
My first fandom. *sigh* What can I say. Mostly I like how InuYasha became after meeting Kagome. He's become mellower and more trusting. More protective. Now if only he'd admit his feelings!!
Full Metal Alchemist
Char: Al
Pairing: Ed/Winry
I really like Al. I can't explain it, really. He's a good alchemist in his own right, yet he doesn't want any glory. All he wants to do is help his brother. I still think he could've become a State Alchemist as well... And Ed and Winry are just so cute!
Good luck!!
I got a new Zel icon from
ichiban_victory. It's really cute, but you'll have to go to my GJ in order to see 'im!

No sweeping exits
Or off-stage lines
Can make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
He does treat her unkindly so by the end of the song, it struck me as song with Kureno as the speaker. ^^
Erm, I hope that's what you needed my opinion on...
(no subject)
Faith has been broken
Tears must be cried
Let's do some living
After we die
I thought that was a good one as well. Same with this line:
I watched you suffer
A dull, aching pain
And now you decided
To show me the same
That one in particular I thought was a good line. Plus, the tone of the song itself is very melancholy and sad. That last one could fit with both of them, I think. Oh, the possibilites!
