Jun. 23rd, 2006 09:39 pmAnime fans? I'm looking for two songs, the opening themes of Sousei no Aquarion, namely Sousei no Aquarion and Go Tight! by AKINO. Does it ring a bell? Tia.
I've been tagged to do theSeven Six Songs I'm Into Right Now meme so here it is: Lifehouse - Everything | Something Corporate - Break Myself | Thirteen Senses - Into the Fire | My Chemical Romance - The Ghost of You | Assemblage 23 - Lullaby | Diam's - Big Up [a great song about women and self-respect. It's about how they're their own bosses, how it doesn't matter if they're pretty or not, if they're overweight or not, it's about their goals in life and their accomplishements and their desires. I love it.]
I always say that I try to stay away from wanks because I just find them dumb and pointless and even mentioning them is giving them an importance they don't deserve but sometimes it's just too fascinating to miss. Mind, fascinating can mean extremely fun or seriously mad and ugly and The Mrs Scribe Story was all that at the same time. Though by the end, it was just ugly, maybe.
I honestly didn't mean to read that "unauthorised fandom biography" about the whole thing but, I don't know why, I found myself trying the first chapter and just couldn't stop. To my defense I'll say that it's written in an extremely clever and compelling way, it reads like those professional True Crime stories - and resisting those is always a bit difficult. So I lost several hours of mylife night going through the ten chapters. Yeah. I know.
It served to put things in perspective, though. No matter how wanky we think our fandoms are, it's really nothing, we're all amateurs. Fandom can drive people to do some crazy shit. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising but I can't help it, I always find myself surprised when I see to what extremes some people can go for fandom *blink*
Anyway.
Hey, I did some minor changes to my layout - well, one minor change but now things are as they should be. Also, I renewed my paid account and I now have 116 icon slots, yay!
And dude I'm torn! There's Togo v France on TF1 and Numb3rs on M6 and just - for the first time in my whole life I'm hesitating between a football match - of all things - and one of my favourite series ever. But it's the last chance France has to reach the next step! If we don't a) win and b) win with a difference of two goals, we're out! *chews lower lip* [ETA: Wait, or is that just win? In any case, it's damn stressful, is what it is!]
ETA: Argh mais j'en ai marre de ces arbitrages à la con *dies*
ETA2: HEEE OMG YES! DEUX BUTS POUR NOUS! Please, keep the good work omg! Don't let Togo score *fingers crossed*
ETA3: We're iiinnnnn! *shakes pom poms*

Date: 2006-06-23 08:47 pm (UTC)In the end, I decided to watch the game because what kind of supportrice je serais si les laissais tomber quand ça avait l'air d'être désespérée, tu sais ? Et j'ai bien fait ! 2 - 0 pour le moment, yay ! *fingers crossed*
Thanks :-) It's one of my favourite pics of the boys and I think it looks pretty good here too *g*
