First entry ever!

Yup, that it is. Not much to say, other than I'm not sure if I'll ever have much to say. In any case, hello to those unfortunate to stumble across this Livejournal! May whatever deity you pray to have mercy on your non-physical essence...

Welcome to the group! I'm a newbie myself, and not much up on all LJ is capable of, but I still remember how to say hello. That picture is Hotaru from Sailor Moon, isn't it? I confess it's been awhile, and when I looked closer I realized I couldn't be completely sure ...

Ya, you got it in one. She's pretty much my favorite character of the anime, manga, and resultant fanfics, though the ones I've read involve Ranma some way or another, since I stumbled upon Ranma fics first. Haven't read many pure Sailor Moon fics, and finished none... Never really liked the idea for world peace in that series. Reminds me of Maggot-face herself, Jasmine.

Plus, well, I also have a thing for large-scale destruction. the more destruction, the more I like it. Black holes are pretty much the ultimate cool thing in my book.

My anime education started out with the santitized, G rated PIC version of Sailor Moon, but I got into the more interesting stuff soon enough -- including the whole lesbian couple thing in SM, and the idea of a guy who gets wet and turns into a girl ... not your typical American cartoon stuff. And I was also bothered by the Imperial world peace idea from SM ... seemed a bit too ... imperial. But Hotaru is a fascinating character, a cute young girl who just happens to have the power of total destruction.

I don't know about black holes, though. Too total, like a serial killer who just goes straight to the killing, without all the fun torturing, first. (Clearly, fun is a relative term in this conversation.) From an astronomical standpoint, it seems to me a supernova would be a more fun destructive force, because you can actually see the destruction.

Ya, started out with DIC's dub of Sailor Moon, as well as Gundam Wing. I kinda expanded slowly outward on my knowledge from there thanks to a few people on the forum I frequent. Came to Ranma through a Evangelion crossover fic, after having watched NGE. About the only other character I really like in SM is Setsuna. She's a lot cooler than people make her out to be; I know that in Ranma X-overs, she's mostly portrayed as a manipulative bitch, which just isn't so. I'd go into detail, but I don't feel like ranting right now.

As for black holes: Only partly true. While you can't see the black hole, per se, you can still see it's effects, such as ripping a planet apart or slowly consuming a star through a stream of hydrogen. Besides, a supernova is over so quickly, while a black hole can be so much slower, so much more graceful. Both are still pretty cool, but it's like comparing a good modern-day song to an orchestral symphony.

'Cuz, well, he's kinda gone downhill fast since he started the prequels. Him and Speilberg should start working together again. They always seem to do better when working together.
Good to hear that the lady is okay, and it's to be expected that you'll be called out suddenly when you work as a volunteer firefighter. Accidents and fires don't really stick to schedules.
