*shiny eyes*

Somebody bought me a 2 month extension on my paid account.

THANK YOU! (whoever you are...)

Also, there are apparently rumors of a Korean version of Hana Yori Dango.  While I'm sure it would be very pretty and have unhealthy levels of angst, the problem with that is that the story requires a heroine with a spine who doesn't let anyone push her around, a quality most kdrama heroines are severely lacking in, including the ones I like.  Still, we'll see.

Last Exile eps 13-17 and pesky bases

( me is still not sleeping well )

I think I need icons of Vincent, Sophia and Alex.  Err...individually or in any combination.  Whatever.  (I am currently pretending that my Darcia icon is a suitable stand-in for an Alex icon.  Hmm...I wonder which would win in an angst-off?)

Meanwhile, this base desperately wants clever text, but I'm drawing up a blank:

10 Reasons No One Wants To Be A Fairy Tale Princess

1. You probably have at least one dead parent. Maybe two.
2. You’re always falling into a coma.
3. Your husband has the exact same name as every other princess’s husband.
4. You have an evil step-parent. Possibly evil step-siblings, too.
5. Your boyfriend falls in love with you in five seconds because you’re pretty. He doesn’t care if you went to Yale and graduated at the top of your class or if you think 2 + 2 = 7. He also doesn’t care if you help old ladies across the street, or like to kick them in the shin and steal their canes. As long as you’re pretty.
6. All the other girls hate you because you’re pretty and the cute guy likes you. (Welcome to high school. And fandom.)
7. All your friends are dwarves or talking animals.
8. Curses. Somebody is always cursing you. And it’s always because you’re pretty, or because your daddy forgot to invite them to a party. They never do it because of anything you’ve done.
9. There’s only ever one good looking, age appropriate guy around. Sure, he’s the prince, but wouldn’t a choice of some sort be nice?
10. Really, you shouldn’t worry about #5, because all you really have to do is clean, dance, and look pretty when the prince comes to rescue you. You don’t need a brain or much personality anyway.

Basara Vol 25

( How did Yumi Tamura pull that ending out of this story? And does anyone care how implausible it is? )

and now, only 2 volumes of side stories left... 

ETA;  Implausible because you don't expect that kind of ending from this kind of story.  Not remotely because it was bad(because it wasn't.)

quickie question for the SDK fans

Does anyone know off-hand(or have the books right beside them) which volume it was where Bon and Akira were separated from Kyo and Yuya because they fell down the hole? Specifically(if it's in 2 separate volumes...it all blurs together for me, as far as what volume ends where) when Tokito is revealed to be the one messing with Bon's head? (very mildly spoilery for for something somewhere in the teens.)
