klenaOk. So, in order.
...I...I am yours...
OK. Artwork? Check
Fruits Baskets~! <3 Oh MAN have I fallen in love. I picked it up about...I dunno. Just before I left N.Ireland? And I could see the instant appeal - I understood why people liked it and cosplayed it and fangirl/boyed over it so.
And well...yeah I'm in love. I bought 4 yesterday and...oh gods. OK so 4 out of 4 volumes of Furuba have made me teary and choked-up but 4? I read it at 2(?) last night and just sat in tears. FLOODS OF TEARS. (I think also being slightly homesick and feeling sick were also getting to me BUT STILL)
So I really want an icon of Tohru and Rabbit!Momiji from Vol. 4. You know the image I mean. ;_;
Actually there was a lot of that manga that could have been iconned.
So yeah. Furuba = ♥
Now...
Fruits Basket fangirling? Check.
LITERATURE.
I JUST HAD AN AMAZING ENGLISH LECTURE. I mean, I had my seminar today with Dr. Higgins (who's particularly awesome~!) on 'Vathek' (fucking bonkers novel) but the lecture was on 'Great Expectations'. Who hasn't read 'G.E?' Me~!
So I went into the lecture (4pm - batteries starting to wind down) and took, like, 4 pages of notes in shorthand and it...it MADE ME THINK. That sounds really stupid, doesn't it? But what I mean is that I was challenged on an intellectual level that I haven't been for the past year or so (I mean study wise, obviously). And the lecture was -interesting- because he talked about "Little Britain" being a contemporary of "Great Expectations" (yes, the T.V show.) and he compared it to "The Turn of the Screw" and he *fanboyed* over Henry James and said at one point
"The version we've assigned for the course also has 'The Aspen Papers' in the book and it's the best short story in the world ever....OK, so now that we've established that fact!"
But...I realised that, even though I love my Japanese class - and I really do - I'm enjoying English on another level that is sorta higher but yet not. Does that make sense?
OK. Literature? CHECK!
I am DONE!
I am also meant to be going out in about an hour for a Japanese Society meeting. Therefore I need to get -Five- done before I go, me thinks!
(now do I use a literary icon or a different icon? Decisions decisions~!)
