Zetsuai... *sigh*

whitereflectionBeen strangely glum last evening and this am. Not sure why...I've got no reason to be so. Cranky, too--I seem to be prone to going off on odd rants, as Kelly had the unfortunate luck to witness. Meh. It's very cloudy-grey out, but I don't think it's that that's putting me in a mood--in fact, I rather wish it would be raining again. Like those cool thunderstorms night before last. That would be keen.
We didn't have our usual web page maintenance meeting at Michael's church last night--but James went in to work on setting up the computer lab. I could have sat down and watched Gravitation all the way through, like I'd discussed with Kea--but for some reason, I just wasn't in the mood (I know, I don't get it either). Instead, of all things...I wanted to watch Zetsuai 1989 and Bronze again. I haven't watched them but once ages ago, and...I know they're really not good. But for some reason I really, really like those two shows and had the worst urge to stare at them again. It's such...such a wonderful melodramatic angst fest. And the character designs and story in Zetsuai really appeal to me, for some unknown reason.
So many fans of shounen ai/yaoi, all I hear them talking about is Ai no Kusabi, over and over. I think I'm the only fangirl that doesn't *like* AnK. I really don't. I...*hangs head in shame, mumbles*...I don't like the character designs, not even for Iason, who everyone seems to lust for. And I hate the story. I even dislike most of the characters. I know the manga is different than the anime, but I still think I wouldn't like it. There's too much...'master/pet' sorta stuff in it. I guess I prefer couples that are more equal, more give and take, rather than a situation where one person is very much in control and the other is very much being controlled. Eh. Just me, I guess. But anyway, odd tangents aside, I'd take Zetsuai and Bronze, *especially* Zetsuai, over AnK any day. *sigh* Wish I could get some Zetsuai cels, but I know those are *pricey*.
I can't believe I went to bed so early last night...10:30--that's disgustingly early. I just didn't feel like being up anymore, though, and guess I did need it as I fell asleep right away. But I am getting tired of the fact that I'm crashing early most days, and yet I'm still tired, out of energy, and dragging around. Not to mention being moody. :p Bleh. It's like all my biorhythms--mental, physical, creative, emotional--are all bottoming out at once.
Couple of Kero cels coming up on Ebay just about lunch time--I'm hoping to catch at least one of them. The extra cool Kiddy of Silent Mobius cel is still some days away. Also found a cel of Yukito, Touya and Sakura that I'd really, really like, but that's almost a week off. I bet the price on that one goes too high

...um. ^^; Gomen! I just kind of really LIKE BDSM...but then, I also beleve in the credo "Safe, sane, and consensual" and in the power the submissive has over the dominant, whatever it may seem like.
*coughs, blushes, runs off anyway*

Date: 2002-06-12 02:18 pm (UTC)*looks at ending to "When Stars Descend" where the heros die*
*looks at "Magirekonde Ranmyuku"*
*looks at "Blood On Snow"*
*looks at first-ever SK plotbunny*
*looks at fic "Chrome"*
...somehow, I don't think an angsty ending is gonna throw me in the least...

Hope James' back is feeling better since A-Kon. Those things take a long time to heal. Give him a careful squeeze for me. ^_^
Dun worry about the AnK. Zetsuai is fantabulous! I like em both, myself, but I highly disagree with the ending of AnK. No way the cuties croak off!
Love the intensity in Zetsuai. And some damned good music to boot!
Wednesday prayer for Diane...
May your pockets overflow with the dough you need for your cell habit. And lighten up with the clouds!
