I don’t know how many of you know this, but I have this embarrassing habit.

When I’m really excited about something because it’s hilarious, or hurts-so- good, or my-god-that’s-wonderful-storytelling, but mostly at the delicious angst and oh-so-pitch-perfect humor, I squeal.

Yes, I actually squee. Literally, I have this little laugh-squeal thing that everyone who has ever heard me make it has cracked up at and/or given me weird looks.

Well, I just finished Saiyuki Reload 7. I read it in the parking lot of Barnes & Noble in twenty minutes, and at every three minute interval, I was squealing out loud.

I kid you not.

At one point I’m pretty sure that someone walking by my open car window heard me and started cracking up. Either that, or someone in her group had just said something  hilarious.

Spoiler-iffic review to follow.

(And in case you were wondering, Reload 7 was good. Damn good.)

I squeek. Like I did just now when I saw your pretty green Hakkai demon-form icon.

Terms Commenly Used In Acedemia is also awesome, though for different reasons. Especially "this is the prettiest graph".

Glad to know I'm not alone. (And isn't demon Hakkai awesome? Wait until you read Reload. *fans self*)

I love the acedemia one to, and I'm so glad I found it again. I came across it once and then I forgot to save it, so I totally gacked it once I had found it again.

*resisting the Saiyuki manga...resisting!Until you're around and I can steal them all at once*

"The other results didn't make any sense."

Well, I actually don't have the complete series- I'm missing 1-5 of Saiyuki and 1-3 of Reload. Oh no, another excuse to buy manga! ("Mom, I had to! Otherwise [livejournal.com profile] mzminola wouldn't have been able to read the whole series! It's all for her sake!")

"The other results didn't make any sense."

Actually, that icon is so, so apropos for my into to language class, which is slowly driving me insane. Tonight I need to make flashcards and memorize the pronouncation symbols in the phonetic alphabet. *shudders* And they're explaining how works are formed, and it's so diffrent from how I've experience it- new works happen when shakespear makes them up! Surely I'm not the only one who knows this!

*snicker*

Oh dear. It's also hurting your spelling, unless you really do mean new "works".
Well, 'chortle' came from Jabberwhocky, and 'quiz', I heard, was a dare.

*crawls into the Tamaki corner of woe to grow mushrooms*

See if I buy you manga. You can just have no idea what happened with Goku and the river youakai and evil experiments on Kougaiji! Or wait three weeks for interlibrary loan to work! *huffs*

Actually that bad thing it that replacing 'works' for 'words' is something I did before I took the class of evil and woe. Just my classic dyslexia coming out to play. But no, feel free to look at my typos, and point and mock like a mocky thing.

I was snickering at the stuff in parentheses! I'm sorry!

I've done some really fun typos. I can't remember any of them right now, but I blame that on the tequilas the typos bought me.
Friday, April 13th, 2007 03:58 am (UTC)
Okay, that makes much more sense.

And I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person who's typos buy her tequila, get her doin' shots, and then sit back to watch me fumble at the keyboard.

Yay!

At least the typos buy- I don't know how many times the plotbunnies've stiffed me.

Those bitches. Like it's not enough that they suck your time, they leave you with the tab as well.

(Nice icon, by the way.)

The L one? Thanks. I nicked it from a quiz result, and turned it green. *pets L*

Yay Hakkai!

L almost rivels Hakkai in... well, no he doesn't be he's also very, very pettable. *loves Hakkai*
Friday, April 13th, 2007 07:25 am (UTC)
And that's suposed to be 'but'.
