I've just read through chapter 100, volume 17 of the Fruits Basket manga in the past two days. I finally understand Ichi's sig, and find it amusing. I have also met all 12 members of the zodiac. And of all the things I've seen...
I don't think I did this right, so just don't read if you haven't gotten this far in Furuba.
I am twitching over the last thing. Akito. Is. A. GIRL. W T F . That is just so hard to wrap my head around. I guess it makes it obvious she's different, cause she can love all over them without a problem. It's just so weird... in the anime, Akito was flat. I don't get it. I did think she was a girl at first, but then the entire rest of the series I've thought of her as a guy... and gay with everyone... and it totally worked into the evil abusive child thing. But now it just seems wrong. Give me a few chapters and maybe I'll get it a bit better. Plus the whole 'I broke the curse, so you never got to see me turn into a bird bwahaha' thing before it.... Gah and now Momiji! He got all hunky, too.
I am loving this series. I am sad there's only 36 left... what will I do after that? I'm impressed at how well they did the anime version, well except for the Eng dub. I really like Toru now though, and I like all the characters more and more. It's so odd how well Radiohead seemed to fit the emo scenes, especially with Yuki. Now I've got Practical Magic on, and it's been pretty hit or miss. Sixpence works well too. Ah, the old cds... Shrek and Practical Magic. Ho lordy, now what... I can't keep reading these all night... can I? I've been all cave nerd this weekend. I suppose since mid terms are over I should go do something fun this week. I do want to go back to Kuzuha Mall, and the food store.
Ok I broke down, I'm on 117... I cant help it, that shit's addictive. I like writing, and I miss the US. I like my adventure, but it's not the same without close friends. I want to make friends, but it all seems so fleeting here. I'm gonna be a senior; it's hard not to think about partings and goodbyes right now. It's like I can see the timeline of everyone, but not me. There are three timelines, and I want one of them, but it's only a 1/3 chance. Here's hoping...
I miss the warmth
And I miss the sun
I miss the ocean
I miss everyone
And I miss the bridges
That span across the bay
Tonight, it seems like ages ago
