The Mouse's Roar

i want to write drabbles/ficlets for Skip Beat and Until Death Do Us Part... anybody wanna give me word prompts?

seriously i feel like the laziest person alive... i borrowed Bird By Bird from the library to inspire myself to start writing seriously and haven't even written on LJ since i got it.. even mellie 's wonderful writing challenge that i had thought to take on has been brushed aside... (how are you doing with that by the way?)

so yeah i suck

in other news, everybody needs to start reading the manga Shinobi Life.. it's really yummy and intriguing and flangsty and all the good things good shoujo manga is... smartycat are you reading this?

i'm also feeling deprived of good Zutara fic.. tho Chains by Wohitzi is finally turning in an interesting direction! I want some well thought out post-series character development!! if I knew how to write it, i'd do it myself! my one fic idea kind of died.. do you remember it coley_merrin ? I think it grew too big in my head and got convinced that i'd never be able to write it all.. i need to do that 1 inch picture frame thing..

anyway grandlarseny , today is that last day of june and i never finished posting my fic recs... but then again.. nobody else did either... soooo.. i don't feel so bad? ::sheepish:: do we have a new challenge for july? maybe i should just post my recs here...

ok that's enough rambling for now i guess...i'm all over the place lately..maybe that's why it's so hard for me to just sit down and do something -_-

i have a lot of random thoughts in my head today so i will use the space i have handy to get them all out

1) i have a friend (more like my brother's friend) who finished his PhD from Princeton and is now teaching at Georgetown.  He gets kicks out of arguing ppl into circles or at least until they strangle him out of frustration.  He really enjoys it.  This bothers me.  But every time I bring it up he proceeds to argue with me -_-; I've given up trying to disagree with him, but it still bothers me.

2) I shouldn't get so bothered by above-mentioned argumentative-ness because I have my own perverse desires.  I often contemplate, very seriously, causing havoc for no apparent reason other than to see what happens.  I look at a busy intersection and think "i wonder what would happen if i walked right into the middle of that?" or i think about throwing my cell phone through a store window, would thecell phone break? how mad would the store owner be? would ppl crowd around to see what happened? what if i decided to drive on the wrong side of the road?  how long could i last before getting into and accident? yes.. very disturbing, i know. you can take solace in the fact that i have never acted upon these urges.  I am thinking of writing a story with a character who doesn't have my self-control/inhibition... i need a plot though

3) I just finished watching the Skip Beat anime.. were there really only 25 eps?? how could they just stop it there? it was worse than the ending to the karekano anime.. seriously.. but i loved seeing ren in action.. guh.. so yummy

4) the FMA manga is kinda weird.. i can't pinpoint exactly what i find off about it, but i'm not enjoying it as much as i enjoyed the anime...

5) i'm being lazy about my final paper.. my adorable prof was kind enough to excuse me from the rest of classes as long as i handed in the final... but i still haven't started it... i need to not set myself up for failure (again)

6) i'm hungry

( i'm getting really good at these fake cuts! )

see told ya i'd be writing fic!  this is the Mr and Mrs. Elric piece though.. the Royai will be coming in a few days i hope... i need some inspiration..

and! at the behest of my entire f-list (seriously you guys), i have started reading the FMA manga.. i can take a hint! so let's where it takes me eh?

also, smartycat ! did you notice the new chapter of skip beat!??? ren really needs to kiss that girl til she's good and weak-kneed... god he is so yummy, i just can't take it anymore

ok so first a stolen quiz:

You Are Impressionism

You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways. You tend to focus on color and movement in art. For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail. You can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature.

second:

you all have to check out this new shoujo manga being scanlated by condensation called "C-Blossom".. it's like Full Metal Panic without the mecha, shoujo-style! the art isn't bad and the story line is like the perfect AU of Sousuke/Kaname (or even 1xR for that matter)...

smartycat you are so EVIL!! i jus finished readong tokyo crazy paradise!

WHERE IS THE FANFICTION???

::dies::

what a cop out ending... there was supposed to be a wedding dammit...stupid taku-nii (i don't care how hot you are)

actually what i really want are some asago/scarface cop fics... anybody? anybody? bueller?

also it just hit me that the art style seemed rather familiar... has this mangaka done other stuff i might have read?

i gotta freaking sleep now... 5 am @_@ (i did this with eternal sabbath too.. and that was also your fault, imouto-chan)


i'll take some more recs tho because i'm a masochist

i think it's because i've been wearing my brother's hand-me-downs my whole life...

anyway.. tokyo crazy paradise is freaking awesome smartycat and yes i want more! i've jus finished vol 3 so there's no rush... tsukasa is adorable but ryuji seems a little too built for a 14-yr old

and speaking of transvestites, i was watching 'Some Like It Hot' yesterday and my love for it was renewed... tony curtis is pretty funny dressed as a girl but jack lemmon is hysterical... i cannot get over it... he's seriously one of the best comedic actors of the 20th century...

favorite scene:

Jerry: Have I got things to tell you!
Joe: What happened?
Jerry: I'm engaged.
Joe: Congratulations. Who's the lucky girl?
Jerry: I am!
Joe: But, you're *not* a girl! You're a *guy*, and, why would a guy wanna marry a guy?
Jerry: Security!
Joe: There's another problem.
Jerry: Like what?
Joe: Like, what are you gonna do on your honeymoon?
Jerry: We've been discussing that. He wants to go to the Riviera but I kinda lean towards Niagara Falls.
Joe: Jerry, Jerry, will you take my advice? Forget about the whole thing, will ya? Just keep telling yourself: you're a boy, you're a boy.
Jerry: I'm a boy.
Joe: That's the boy.
Jerry: [coming around] I'm a boy. I'm a boy. I wish I were dead. I'm a boy. Boy, oh boy, am I a boy. Now, what am I gonna do about my engagement present?
Joe: What engagement present?
Jerry: Osgood gave me a bracelet.
Joe: [takes it and inspects the stones with Beinstock's glasses] Hey, these are real diamonds!
Jerry: Of course they're real! What do you think? My fiance is a bum?


::sigh:: what a classic!!

i wanna make an icon out of the two final lines from the movie

jerry: but you don't understand, osgood.. i'm a man!
osgood: well, nobody's perfect

i jus need a good background to put it on... ^^

it's been updated! go get the 2 new chapters from here:

http://www.blubbblubb.net/manga/

(did u get to the kiss scene yet?? wasn't it awesome????)

on a side note, certain people need to get a grip on reality and drop their martyr complex.. i'd elaborate but i feel a friend-locked post is more appropriate...

so it's 7:30 am, and i'm awake... and no, it's not because i woke up early.. it's because i stayed up late

and it's all Smarty Cat's fault

Eternal Sabbath is insanely awesome, like so so so cool that i started reading it at 11pm and got all the way up to the most recent ch 46 about a half an hour ago... was leeching off IRC like there was no tomorrow...

and of course, who am i to keep such lovely things to myself? i got Lsrs addicted too!! which wasn't hard, mind you, since the art is frickin gorgeous and the plot is somewhat reminiscent of Trigun's Vash and Knives thread... and we all know how much Lars luvs her vashy-poo... we had some good fangirling moments on that as well...

but yes, you all need to read this manga! that's an ultimatum from the grand-high poobah missies!

i uploaded the prologue jus to spread the joy

and part 2:

try it! you'll like it!

why isn't anybody online yet?? i need to gush incoherently at someone!

linay finally finished 'Broken Pieces'!!!!!

and for the love of god if u don't know what i'm talking about go here: www.fanfiction.net/~linay

the ending was freaking awesome... and she wants to write a sequel and i never thought i could love an AU kenshin fic this much... but apparently i'm not the only one... 3000 reviewers can't be wrong... oh it's so so good... i wanted to cry so bad

quick ppl, read! so we can discuss...

EDIT: imouto-chan.. parfait tic is going to be the death of me... volume 12!! both chapters!! i can't make up my mind anymore!!! i was totally leaning toward ichi for the bulk of it but now...argh!! how long is this planning to go for?

ok so first of all smartycat, u manga pusher, u've got me hooked to this manga u were advertising.... i'm absolutely loving it... sooo pretty... gotta love shoujo... ow if they would jus hurry up with chapter 6! i'm dyin ova here! got any other good recs to tie me over? that request goes out to everyone btw..i'm a hardcore junkie -_-;

second, also looking for some good fics recs for quatre/dorothy and detective conan... jus started watching it on CN...and it's really too cute... and i've always been a sucker for a good mystery... (perry mason and columbo all the way!!)

so yes much help would be muchly appreciated.. ::watery chibi eyes:: pretty please with a cherry on top?

so i picked up sensual phrase the other day... tres yummy...

curious tho... is the person who made this the same one who did haou airen? because the male leads are surprisingly similar in looks... and the fact that the female main charas r both portrayed as naive and virginal.. makes me think that they may be products of the same imagination...

am i way off?
