Exclusive Insanity

I was reading an old rant that I had saved a link to some time ago, on an issue I have some agreement with. Then I went into some of the comments - and found an interesting point in someone's reply.

The point being: if fans can take a canon het pairing and break it up to form a yaoi pairing... why can't het fans take a canon yaoi pairing and break it up to form a het pairing?

Thoughts?

Well, I had to work yesterday - other than that, it wasn't a bad day. I love spring break.

I did get *something* done for school - I looked up the method I was going to need to use in my program that I couldn't remember. So now I have it. I just have to put it to use.

Heh. Yeah...

I watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds yesterday. It was a cute movie, and a lot like Miyazaki's other works. Very man vs nature, and there were some neat female characters. Actually, most of the male characters were pretty dull - Nausicaa and the other princess were the most interesting. I had to do a double take when she was doing her hang-gliding, though - her tights/pants were too close to skin color. Looked like she was giving everyone below a free show.

But it was a good movie. I enjoyed it.

Other than that, not much happened. It was a nice, slow, boring day. Very nice.

So today is the first official day of my reading break (seeing as how it's the first day I have off from school) and I intend to sit around. Excellent. I'm vaguely thinking about homework and trying to be noble and get some of that done, but it probably won't happen.

I want to do some reading, and some writing, and some watching of stuff.

Yesterday, I didn't do a lot. I slept in since I was out late the night before, and then had to work a bit later on. Work was actually not that bad. There were no customers from about six o'clock on. It was great.

Quiet nights are the best ones.

Wow... I have nothing to write about here. My life is so boring... heh. I like it that way, though - it means nothing bad is happening.

There's a meme going around where I'd get people to ask one question about my writing... That seems strange to me. I can't think of any questions to ask the people who have it up, so I don't know what anyone would ask me.

What is there to know about a person's writing?

Fuzzy speakers... argh...

Ah well. The exam went pretty well yesterday - I'm pretty sure I did well. Unless I did everything totally wrong, but I don't think I did.

I went for lunch with V, Jen, and Jo yesterday, which was a lot of fun - it was good to see them all. We're going to try and do the same thing again today before I go to work.

Jo, V, and I went to see Constantine last night as well. I figured it'd be crappy, but it wasn't *too* bad. A bunch of stuff was just kind of convenient plot device without much explanation or development. The female character couldn't do anything for herself, as usual. Catholism is, of course, the only right way and blah blah blah. Other than that, it was decent.

It was fun to hang out with my friends. I came up with Jo and V, and Sarah met us there for a while before the movie. So that was cool. We went to Future Shop, into the mall, and up to Chapters. I found the director's cut of Legend for about $25, so I bought it. I might watch that today, or - if I don't have time - maybe tomorrow.

We'll see. Work tonight, and then hanging out with V again before she has to leave tomorrow.

I can't believe it's been a week already... Time's gone by so fast...

Someone wrecked the speakers for the computer... And it was between yesterday and this morning. Yesterday, they were fine. Today, I turn them on and first they're at full blast, and then - when I turned them down to the point where I could listen - they were incredibly fuzzy.

Margh. My sister are idiots. And my parents don't give a crap about the speakers, so since I'm the only who cares I'LL probably have to buy new ones.

No one else is ever using them if I do - I don't care how childish that is. They are not going to ruin MY speakers.

The computer goes in today. If dad doesn't buy new speakers, I'll do it myself. 'Cause I can't listen to stuff like this. And I still have anime to watch on this computer.

Bleh. I'm so selfish. Ah well.

Grandpa's funeral yesterday was basically a church service with a eulogy tacked on. I hate it when they do that. Grandpa would probably hate it too, because despite the fact that our entire family is Roman Catholic, he actually wasn't. My grandmother was.

That's what tends to annoy me about people who take their religion to an extreme, though... They act as if it's the *only* right way, and try to push it onto everything. Unfortunately, a lot of my mother's family is like that. They're good people otherwise, but damn, that gets annoying.

There were a lot of pictures at the reception, and my sisters and I went around looking at them. It was nice to see things my grandpa had done. I don't have regrets, really, but I'm glad I got the chance now to find out a little more about him.

Today's my busy day, but I'm ready for it. I have to turn in some poems - but all I have left to do is type them up and print them off. So, it's all good. Other than that, classes will just be lecture.

I'm also meeting V at lunch today, since we have the poster sale at the campus for the next two days and we're going to check that out. It's tradition, though - we do it every year.

Hopefully there's nothing good, so I don't spend any money.

We will also be taking our computer in tomorrow morning to get all the spyware removed from it. It is getting a little out of hand. And the fact that as I am typing this, a popup interrupts me only proves my point.

In any case, we will have a spyware-free computer by tomorrow afternoon. At least, according to the guy on the phone, who said it would only take a few hours.

I watched Kyou Kara Maou episode 31 yesterday. It was pretty good, very exciting. I enjoyed it muchly.

I still have to watch 32, but I'll do that later.

Also, Happy Valentines. I was going to write a fic, but forgot completely. Ah well. Have a fun day anyway.

Forgot to mention, my comic updates today! Heh... I like today's comic - it's not the greatest, but I love what Jeremy did with the art in this one. It's very nice.

In any case, you can find that here, if you're interested.

I want to thank everyone who commented with nice and comforting thoughts about my grandfather. Honestly, I don't know what to think about right now - it's way too easy to carry on with life as usual. But I guess that's what you do, isn't it?

The funeral is on Tuesday. The obituary was in the paper today. I feel okay, and mom seems to be doing well. She went in to work today - to keep herself busy, she said.

I remember when my other grandfather died, my dad went out for a long walk. Of course, he had that awful disease where he couldn't move or talk very well, so once again we knew it was coming. I knew my father's dad even less than I knew my mother's.

It's strange. I never knew my mom's mother - my real grandmother died before my parents even got married, so I only know my grandfather's second wife. And even her, I don't know very well. I didn't know my dad's father very well because you couldn't get to know him in that state. I know my dad's mother VERY well - I'm sure that I'd be crying if she passed away.

It seems so strange to me, though.

In any case, I got my comic stuff done yesterday, and some writing, and a good chunk of homework. I had belly dancing and I saw Jeremy for a while. It was a pretty good day.

Meh... weird...

I watched through episode 29 and 30 again last night with Jeremy. He wasn't as sad as I was, the bastard. But his favorite character dies later, so hah! Never mind the fact that I didn't want that character to die either... bah.

Oh well.

Episodes 31 and 32 of Kyou Kara Maou are available for download - yay! That means I'll have new stuff to watch. Excellent. I also have more comic stuff to do, and I'll probably have more schoolwork to take care of after lab this morning. Bleh. Oh well... School comes first, and then comic. Then KKM.

I can be patient. Really.

Looks like this entry is going to be extremely short... But I have nothing to talk about at the moment, so... yeah. Guess it'll have to do.
