So, two eps of Real Drive, one ep of Library War, and one ep of Daughter of Twenty Faces, and I've found my three favorite shows of the season. Well, okay, those and Soul Eater. For shows.

Real Drive is gorgeous. ( Real Drive fangirling )

I loved Library War, too. I don't think I've laughed so hard at a show in a while. ( Library Love )
Still, I like Kasahara and Doujo, and I'm a sucker for a good books-are-awesome-based story, so I'm hooked.

IG PLEASE, PLEASE don't do what you usually do and screw these up. PLEASE?

I randomly downloaded Daughter of 20 Faces, and though it's a bit odd and I've never even heard of it before, once again, I'm a bit hooked. It's...odd. Really odd. I can't describe it any differently than that, but I really enjoyed the first ep, wacky animation and all, (though I still wonder how big-headed girl is a "treasure"), and I'm gonna keep with it.

Note to self - watch these this season:
(x3 while I'm still thinking about it)

1. xxxHolic Kei (<333)
2. Vampire Knight (!!!!)
3. Soul Eater (it looks WEIRD, but I'ma sad, sad Mamoru fangirl)
4. Real Drive (IG x Shirow = awesome)
5. Library War (zomg IG I love you)
6. S.A. (read vol. 1 today :3 pretty cute)
7. Itzura na Kiss (also cute manga~)
8. (maybe) Macross Frontier (????)

Flist to the rescue, please?

So, I might have, you know, put off certain aspects of a project for my research class. Like a survey. Haha, bad me. Really ;-; So I was wondering if you guys would rescue me? I need to basically turn in results for primary research, and while the internet might not be the ideal way to do that, I'm pretty sure it counts, kinda. Sort of. At any rate, I'd love you guys lots if you could answer some survey questions for me? It's nothing weird, I promise! This is due Sunday, so I'm worried, and I really dun wanna like, make stuff up, 'cause I think that would be cheating. So. Help? Pleeeease? *puppy eyes*

Questions:

How much television did you watch as a child?

What rules did (or, if you're younger, what rules *do*) your parents have about your television watching/game playing/computer usage?

How old were you when you got to see a rated R movie?

When you were a kid, did you think smoking was cool?

Did/do you think your parents have an accurate idea of what kind of media you were exposed to?

Do you feel you were influenced by the media as a child?

What do you think about the way kids are influenced by the media?

What do you think influences kids most? (tv, music, magazines, video games...)

Do you think media influence is a serious problem?

When/if you become a parent, do you think you will have rules for your kids regarding television/computer/game usage? If so, what?


So that's basically all. I would be so very grateful for your guys' help, and I'll screen comments, so, y'know, no sharing personal information. Anyway, basically all I'm supposed to turn in are the list of questions and names of people I surveyed, so...yeah. Anyway, that along with your name, and email, if you're comfortable.

Did I mention the grateful part? Cause I so am. HELP!

♥ THE DRAGONAUT FRIENDING MEME ♥

I would also just like to say that an essay on the history of storyboarding is THE most ridiculous assignment I've ever had. And there have been a lot of stupid assignments.

That is all.

Oh, no it's not. Revamped Dearly Beloved. HINA! ♥♥♥♥ Add one more *pimp* to the title.

Probably the last thing I'm gonna finish before school starts (Monday x_x), though I wanted to revamp my collective, and found the perfect image... ;-;

Anywho - revamped my Mary Elizabeth McGlynn fanlisting! About time XD I made the last layout in PSP 8, which I haven't used in, oh...two years?

Siren - the Mary Elizabeth McGlynn fanlisting

fyi, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is the woman behind the Silent Hill songs, as well as Motoko's brilliant English voice actress, not to mention Kanoe, Julia, Kurenai, Jagura, and so on. She'll also be playing Balsa, if those Bang!Zoom knows what's good for them *shakes fist*

I think this is the first time I've used an actual picture of her...or Motoko, for that matter...

I ♥ Rental Magica!

...that is all

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd   Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.
