August November 2007 edit:

This journal is once again partially friends-only. Like just about every other journal. I keep personal life ravings locked, not that anyone really cares. And because of LiveJournal's new rules, I am going to be very picky about which fics I make available to the public. If you want the rest, ask to be friended.

Friend me for extra fics and general ravings. Please leave a comment somewhere if you do, as I like to know who is friending me. You only have to leave ONE comment saying why you're friending me. I get sick of random people friending me and never saying who they are.

And kudos to anyone who understands the relevance of this date. Or the quote.

Saw the midnight showing of Harry Potter 6 and holy shitttttt.

That movie DEFINITELY made up for the book. The sixth book really bored me for some reason (as did the fourth), but the movie for this one was awesome. It was a little cramped though, and cut out pretty much everything school-related (though the book was kind of like that, too). Relationship angst was a little bleh but they managed to balance it with friendship stuff (Harry comforting Hermione and vice versa = win) AND BELLATRIX BLACK YOU SEXY BEAST.

I wanted to dress up but I came right from work, so yea. Did not happen.

But I was very impressed. And now I'm sad, just as I always am after coming from a big Harry Potter event. Whatever I had with that fandom isn't something I'm ever going to feel again, and lame as it sounds, I feel like I lost something. That and the older I get, the less likely it is that my life will ever be anything but mediocre and seriously fucking boring. Hell I lost my chance to go to Hogwarts 12 years ago. I'm slowly being killed by nostalgia for something I never even had.

._.

So pandatchi is poking me to update, and my life is just so exciting that this is all I have to say:





LL Rude J owned by pandatchi and pikacheeka like whoah. If you want him for the night, well we charge by the 5-minute block.

LOL YOU BE TRADEMARKED MAN.

Evidently I can not escape the drama even when I'm not online.


Has anyone heard/seen anything weird going on in my username lately? Anyone see any comments or posts made that probably weren't by me?


Because I was just defriended and blocked by someone I liked, and she sent me a very long letter about how I've been sending nasty emails to a friend of hers. She said that I and several Gundam people on my FList have been harassing Sapphire Hime starting around June 10th. So has anyone on my FList started having this same problem recently?


I don't know. I would think that if someone did get into my username and was fucking around, I would have received a few more complaints than from this one person, but I don't know.


She said they were EMAILS, but I don't know how that can be considering the security I have on my email account. If it is from my email, then I have a serious, serious problem, and I'm wicked freaked out now.


SO.
I guess the deal is that someone is running around sending nasty anonymous messages to another girl in fandom and claiming they are from me. Said person is also showing anonymous threads in memes and claiming they are from me. Seriously people, what the fuck. I haven't been around in a friggin month. I guess someone got bored and wanted to start some fandrama and evidently I'm just a big target. Goes to show how popular I am.

So I finally got my butt around to seeing the new X-MEN movie and omg.

Am I the only one who found Sabretooth ten times hotter than Wolverine? And that was one scary intense kid playing young Sabretooth



They gayified Gambit more than I ever thought was possible. And I'm kind of confused about Deadpool's identity but I was never a hardcore X-Men fan so it was probably just something I didn't know about. And even though Sabretooth-as-brother is questionable I like it. Because from what I understand his past was ambiguous and he knew Wolverine from waaaaay back, so I guess throwing them together as half-brothers works.

Now I want to go try and read some more. I've read maybe 10% of the comics (seeing as there are probably a million) out there and saw all the other movies, but idk Sabretooth <3 Even though he's damn unattractive in the actual comics and in the other movies, I just think Liev and all is well.

But more than anything I want Victor x James slash. Or better yet, doujinshi.

Anyway, good movie. I highly enjoyed it. Lot of people bitching about the plot being bland because it was so simple/straight-forward, but that didn't bother me. I don't want anything deep and thought-provoking, and most of the time when they try to make this kind of movie too complex it ends up coming out shitty (cue in Spiderman movies) Hell, give me explosions, violence, and hot (older) guys trying to kill each other any day and I'd be happy. Especially when they're mildly gay for each other.

Anddd just because this needs to be noted. MARK YOUR CALENDARS, GUYS.
Marvel Bromance Volume 1
Sadly, it does not look like we are getting any claw-boy action there.

Sooo AnimeBoston. Went all day Friday and about half of Saturday. I got in so early and didn't have to wait in line really, which was nice compared to last year.

( Break down )

Went through dealers room TWICE Friday and again on Saturday. Couple of Gundam 00 things here and there, but not much. Someone had the petit props from second season, but I have most of them so I didn't bother. There was a shop that had a lot of things available for pre-order on the Gundam comm, soo. Yea. This is the haul, but it's not much.

( Haul )

But in all, I guess both my fandoms are so obscure it's not funny. There were 2 Allelujahs, 1 Tieria, 1 Ribbons, 1 Regene, 2 Lockons, 1 young Alle, and 1 young Lockon. And moi as Sumeragi (technically as Lisa Kujo). That's all I saw in 2 days walking around anyway. And no Togainu characters at all. When it came to the dealers room and the artists' alley, there was almost nothing for G00 and nothing at all for TnC. I tore all the doujinshi sellers apart and all I found was one Lamento doujin, which I bought out of bitterness. But come on, one is a GUNDAM SERIES FOR GOD'S SAKE and the other is a yaoi game. Why the hell doesn't anyone have anything for them?

IS ANYONE ON MY FLIST GOING TO ANIME-EXPO IN JULY?

I want to go but need a room-mate or 2 or 3.

Been MIA the last few days because I had to buy a new AC power adaptor for my computer and by the time I realized this on Wednesday, I was at 21% battery. So I had to shut it down until I could get a new one today FREE UNDER WARRANTEE so that was exciting.

Shitload of emails and PMs and comments to catch up on because I've been being lazy lately anyway, so sorry if it takes me a little while to get back to you.

Other than that, do I have anything to say? No. Life is boring as hell and I miss Gundam.

I can't embed these ones but HALLELUJAH IN ENGLISH. Episode 11 dubbed. I laughed. Only a couple of real differences I noticed in the dub though, so not bad. But his voiceeeee.

Rewatching season one makes me cry. Seriously. Why am I so wrapped up in this show?

Article from GoodHaro's blog

All four Meisters will likely be in the movie again. Allelujah's VA aspecially talked about how there was more to be done. Tieria's VA was just OMG NEW MACHINES!!! (ha) Setsuna's is as dependent on G00 as Setsuna himself is on Exia, which I find cute. And Lockon's seems kind of bored with the whole thing.

Also a blurb about how Graham finally got over himself when Setsuna freaked out on him. So all those people whining about how they didn't get a final fight can go to hell. It wasn't bad character development. It was brilliant.

Anddddd perhaps most interesting, there were two possible endings decided on for the TV series. The movie will use the one the wasn't used in the series, which makes me think that the movie will have a bad ending or at least a sad one.

So very curious and excited. I am addicted to this blog.

List of G00 stuff I have to buy as they come out:

May 9th - “Mobile Suit Gundam 00 MISSION COMPLETE 2307-2312″
B5 160 pages 1680 Yen

June 10th - “Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Kouga Yun Dear Meisters COMIC&ARTS”
The comics published in Newtype plus one new one.
All color illustrations + original character designs
B5 144pages 1365yen

July 8th - Mobile Suit Gundam Complete Best CD + DVD. (already pre-ordered and paid for)

LOOKING FOR NEW ANIME TO WATCH. I'm ridiculously lost now that Gundam is done and I want a series that is already done that I can just start on and watch really quickly. I'm on vacation for the next two weeks. So right now anime is the top priority, though I'm also open to Manga and video games.

I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A NEW MANGA SERIES TO START. All the same requirements, though I want it 10+ books instead of 1-2 seasons. I'm fairly certain I've found and read everything published in America worth my time, so a scanlated series is fine, too.

NEW VIDEO GAME SERIES ALSO WELCOME. Any system except a PS3. Again, same requirements, but must be LONG.

I've come to realize that my standards for anime and manga alike are so extreme that it's no surprise I can never find anything I like. =\

Requirements for everything:

Serious plot. Preferably war anime/manga (all VGs are war), be it mecha or traditional fantasy or other.

Coherent plot that actually makes sense.

Non-episodic. Basically, I don't want 24 mini-stories.

All major characters must have depth. No flat characters.

The 'bad guys' also have depth and can be sympathized with.

Hero can not be dopey and annoying, then stereotypically super-scary in battle.

Romance to a minimum.

At least 13 episodes, preferably 1-2 full seasons though.

No school drama. No teenage angst drama. No annoying love triangles.

No chibi-fying or SD-ing of characters. No cutesy shit.

Good music.

Preferably a series than can be 'fandom-ized'. You know how some anime may be completely amazing, but they just don't seem the type you'd want to write/read fanfics on, or even the type that CAN have a fandom? Yea.

Have not seen/read/played obviously, not that you'd necessarily know.


Examples
Ex of anime: Gundams, Death Note, Nabari no Ou, Full Metal Alchemist
Ex of manga: Angel Sanctuary, GodChild, Death Note, D. Gray-man.
Ex of video games: Final Fantasies, Xenosaga
Things like FMA and D-Gray-man CAN be okay even though they do have some of the cutesy shit, but their plus sides REALLY have to outweigh that. I'm considering Soul Eater but again, lots of annoying shit. So I don't know.

After giving it some time and watching the subs, I can safely say that I am impressed with the ending, and fairly happy with it. Arguably, it was the best ending of an anime that I've ever seen, because they almost never end up making any sense. Most of my ranting is on the comm, but yea.
