This is hilariously true:

In 2008, redbrunja resolves to...
Connect with my inner sabriel.
Cut down to ten rants a day.
Go hellsing three times a week.
Put fifty neurotic writers a month into my savings account.
Take evening classes in sumire.
Ask my boss for a kyoshi.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:

Also, I was trolling around on tv tropes (damn you, [livejournal.com profile] fairest1 !) and was wondering what you would call that think Sanzo did where you TRY to go crazy and kill people because you precious person got injured, but fail.

Also I tried searching for the straight version of this (precious person is harmed: massacre ensues) via looking through the Saiyuki and Naruto pages, but couldn't find it.

Also, does Tsunade quality as a vain sorceress? I say no. While she fits the letter of the definition, I don't think she has the spirit: she never mentions her youth, she is never shown being overtly sexual (beyond what is impossible to avoid with those breasts), and she isn't threatened by other, younger woman (if she was, she wouldn't have trained two that we know of).

Yeah, and despite the time zones, whenever I am awake at an obsence hour, lj is ALWAYS dead quiet.

And I'm not a fan of vainity as a motivator as well. I think it has potential and could potential be tragic (like, someone who needs to be beautiful because she lives in a world where that is her only value) but it's always used for women and it comes across as very old-school sexist.
