AND THEY SAID, HAVE WE DONE WITH THE WAR AT LAST?

Twenty days gone and I haven't touched this journal - why? I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

GUNDAM WING. JAsklfasfj. Nignghghhh. I put off picking up this series for so long, and now that I have eaten it whole in the last two weeks, my head has exploded and I want to sacrifice my first-born children to Okiayu Ryutarou and Koyasu Takehito. TREIZE AND ZECHS. Oh god. Can you say happy mindfuck evil best friends fighting wars WARS big machines BANG BANG BANG. I... I need to go get a calculator now. What's five multiplied by six multiplied by thirteen? That number is going to be my One True Integer now, or something. It's so beautiful that I am incapable of writing complete and coherent paragraphs. Oh, oh, Gundamn Wing. I may be ten years too late and then some, but at least I have caught the late train in. \o/

In other words, life actually has re-started. And not in the gawking-at-Okada-in-SP kind of way. Back to school and I haven't touched anything even vaugely fannish outside of GW; I'm doing research papers - general research papers - on polytheism and monotheism that will have my self-completing a, uh, uh, uh, comparative religion course vis-a-vis haunting my local library by the time I'm done. OR SOMETHING. \o/ At least I get to blabber on about an author I love for my literature paper. OH JOY, and fuzzy redlining.

Braaaaaains. So many things to write, so little time. WHERE IS THE PRESSURE. Also, can anyone recommend any good music?

Ahh, I watched it mainly in English. I definitely remember hearing stuff about how much more attractive his Japanese voice is. But! Remember, I read fanfic and stuff like that before I watched the show, so a lot of my introduction to characters was from looking at pictures and websites and stuff. I was just too young for Zechs.

P.S. Quatre was never my favorite, but OH MY GOD HIS HORDE OF ARABIAN SERVANTS!! Rashid is one of my favorite characters. XD They're hilarious!

Ahhh, I wasn't clear. DX Wilson Pickett's songs are standards in that they're classic - they aren't stuff that gets a lot of radio play, but rather what a DJ might play at a wedding to get people dancing because everyone knows it. He was most popular in the 60s. I have to get to class now, but I'll upload some of his songs later! :D

8D ZECHS IS OLD. Hehehehehe. I don't know why there's more love for him in fandom, really. Makes me think about strange academic things like the movement of fandom and its aging process and and and *shuts up* But, dude. I get the feeling that if GW was remade or reaired now, the character emphasis and fic that'd emerge would have a somewhat different focus. WOW GEEKERY.

YES HAHAHA OMG THEY RISE FROM THE SANDPITS AND WORSHIP HIS TINY LITTLE SHAPE.

:OOOOOO MUSIC! I should do a post soon, and stop withering around. xD
