NO YUKI AND HARUHI GOT KICKED OUT.

Oh well, there's still Azusa.

Go ahead, whoever's writing my story. Skip ahead a few days and see my next blogpost cursing the fact that Azusa got kicked out. Go on. I dare you.

…

I sound retarded.

Right. Time to start gushing. I borrowed Snow Crash today. Yes, if you check NLB's records, like the stalker you are, you'd find out where I got it from. Go ahead, make a time machine, and say hi to me, and how awesome you think I am.

Narcissistic sidetracks aside, the most awesome character in this book is Y.T.

Not Raven, the castrated dude with a hydrogen bomb on his motorcycle sidecar wired to explode upon his brain death. And absurdly sharp glass knifes, with blades a molecule wide that slices through everything.

Not Hiro, the dude who programmed in a katana simulator to the book's version of Second Life while it was still in its infancy, and can wield a katana in real life just as well.

Not Uncle Enzo, mafia boss, owner of a pizza franchise that promises you the pizza in 30 minutes from your order, or your money back, free pizza for the rest of your life, a guaranteed income for the rest of your life as a spokesman, and death for the poor delivery kid.

Y.T., a 15 year old girl who is only known by the initials of her nickname, Yours Truly. Only she knows what Y.T. really means. She mainly refers to herself in the third person, to outside observers, and first person, only to herself. Enough gear on her to break out of anything, including an FBI building, leaving fifty unconscious bodies behind her.

I guess it's because I feel the closest to such a character. A CrazyPrepared PluckyGirl, to put it simply. It might be because of an inherent lack of self-esteem.

…Wait, did I just psycho-analyze myself? Dammit, me. Should I blame TvTropes, my love for writing, or my literature teachers?

Right. Literature teachers.

The closest thing you can get for the universe's ButtMonkey, eh?

Come to think of it, with my dream of becoming a teacher, I'll most probably end up with Literature. Or History. Those two will let me use TvTropes like crazy, and call it research.

Heh.

Or a Chemistry teacher. Physics practicals all come down to forces, electricity, or a combination of the two. Bio practicals involves chemicals interacting with organic stuff, and you writing down the observations. Like dripping Benedict's Solution on bananas to differentiate between the rip and unripe ones, when all you can do is pop them into your mouth. Knowing how stupid people can be, it's most probably an experiment somewhere.

Chemistry pracs involves mixing chemicals and observing what happens. This lets me invoke things like EducationThroughPyrotechnics. Yes. Mix sulfuric acid, nail polish remover and hydrogen peroxide, and we get an explosive. Well, not exactly. Explosives, by definition, decompose exothermically. TATP decomposes endothermically.

But still. Watching things explodes has its charms. It's different from deconstructing characters, analyzing characters, drawing references and playing with EverybodyIsJesusInPurgatory. One's a beautiful thing that rends stories into pieces, and the other's a dangerous, but beautiful beast.

I sound dangerous, don't I?

Dangerously out of touch with reality, and more than a passing interest in explosives, and anything that packs a punch. In love with characters in novels, stories and anime. Possibly bisexual. Come to think about it, the last isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Anyway, I've found that I can't write a story without a single reference to ANYTHING.

I tried writing a story based on the trope IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer. I ended up referencing fluoroantimonic acid, something 20 quintillion times stronger then 100% sulfuric acid and Burn Notice.

So currently, I'm watching Robin Williams.

I'm also addicted to Futari no Honey Boy. Yes, the OP to KissXSis. Yes, it's ecchi. It's horribly funny too.

I'm not complaining. The OP is still awesomely catchy. The ED is catchy, but more calm. It's like Utauyo Miracle and No Thank You, in a way. I'd mention Motteke Sailor Fuku, but it's kinda hard to pin down the ED.

So, 21st September, K-ON!!'s new image songs for Yui and Mio are coming out. The jury's out on whether I'd download it immediately, or wait for everything to come out. On October 27th, the album of K-ON!! singles come out, including the song they played in the finale, Tenshi ni Furetayo, and the song Mugi composed, named Ichigo Parfait ga Tomaranai. There's 2 discs, with the second the list of songs they recorded in the second-to-last episode. It's around an hour long, maybe slightly shorter, so it kinda tells you a lot about how well their recording session went.

Fuyi no Hi too. A song form Mio to Ritsu? OH HELL YEAH!

I'm not including a link to Tenshi, mainly because the copyright claims come down really fast. The one I'm listening has 65 views, and I've downloaded it. I don't really need the vid, just the MP3. Okay, fine. The vid's great, with bits from both seasons, showing how beautiful everything is, and is SweetDreamsFuel. So, I've got both the vid, and the MP3.

Also, I just realized that all of the Let's Go versions are pretty much the seiyuus singing together. Some guy on Youtube mixed all 5 versions together, and as it turns out, the seiyuus' timings are pretty spot on.

Right. Now I'm listening to genderbent versions of K-ON songs. I'm not surprised people squee when they hear genderbent Mio sing Fuwa Fuwa Time. I personally squeed when I saw the first pic from the genderbent version of Don't Say Lazy. Yui, or Yuu, still looks genki and amusing. Mugi, or Muji looks more of a bookworm. Not nerd, bookworm. They're different. Mio, or Mikio looks weird. Ritsu, or Rikku, looks positively awesome.

They just look dumb in the second pic.

Yui, in Cagayake Boys sounds slightly ditzy, but cute in a way. Very shota, in that case. I almost want to go look for yaoi of Yuu, but yeah. The last time I went to look for Yui porn, I stumbled upon a terribly evil fanfic.

Along with that, we have Watashi no Koi wa Hotch-kiss, by Yuu. Yeah, that just solidified him as Shota in my mind.

Ritsu, or Rikku, sounds odd. Really. Just listen to his image song. When he shouts at the start, the song of the cymbals and other instruments. It's like God Knows, male version. Not very convincing.

Still, Yuu the Shota makes up for it.

On the other hand, Super Driver, when handled by the same guy/group of people, sounds decent. Really. Go ahead. Give it a try.

Mabel, ReferenceOverdosed.

I promise, none of the links lead to the Snow Crash bitmap.
