nebulia: a nebula (naked sano-rurouni kenshin)
So I just finished this great book--The Naming, by Alison Croggan. I've seen it a couple of times at Borders, wanted it in paperback, but then I found it in the school library, checked it out, and read all 450 pages in one day.

It was fantastic. High fantasy with a Tolkienish twist, but still wholly original, and with less angst from the main character. Not to mention what I presently see (though it could possibly--and it will make me sad--change in the next books, as Schmitty tells me that the second and third are out, and I know the school has the second, which I will check out tomorrow) as a wonderful, slow-building romance between the main character and her mentor/teacher/protector guy who is pretty awesome anyway and definitely my favorite character. Not to mention it's the kind of book/romance I always look for, one that has the couple paired as teammates working together, not enemies, separated, or with the girl (or sometimes guy if it's a girl power story) on the sidelines. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. Croggan's world is not as developed as Tolkien's, which to me got overwhelming, but it is still vibrant and clear, and there's a sense of verisimilitude which I love about otherworldly fantasy novels.

So. Go read.

Choir concert tonight. Hacked up yet another lung and possibly my stomach as well, because I kept trying to hold in my cough until I gagged.

Not a good idea. Don't do it.

So. In ninth and tenth grade, in HYC, there was a guy in choir who was a good friend of mine, and within the first two months of choir, I had a serious crush on him (he was eventually nicknamed by me and MBF as My Lovely Black, which is what I'll call him here). I totally thought I was over it, however, by July on tour, when my friend Alley and I turned around on the Disneyland train to find him and DrumMajor totally making out, and I wasn't really jealous. We maintained a good relationship--we were a group of friends--until he left choir at the end of last year, and I hadn't seen him since.

Until today, when he showed up for practice and I totally realized I'm still not over him. On the plus side, there's a total chance he could come back to choir next year, which means I can be better friends (or maybe more) with him. On the other hand...I've like him for a really, really long time and nothing's happened and I just want to get on with my life. But he's kind of what I'm looking for in a guy--he's WAY taller than me, kinda cute, friendly, funny, a good singer, smart (we can have both crack!conversations and serious ones), gives killer backrubs, and all that stuff. I mean, he's got his own faults, but still.

It bothers me that I still like him.

Grr.

But I'm glad to see him anyway. He's also a good friend, and it's always good to see good friends.

In other news, I added four new cuts last night. I'm hiding them better, but still I just want to frickin' slap myself whenever I think about what I did. Grr.

was amazing. Oh my goodness. I knew that Sevy was Lailah, but wow. The Sandalphon/Metatron thing? OMG!

And the grown-up Metatron controlled by Sandalphon was HAWT. The scene with him and Lailah had me cackling with sickened glee.

Meanwhile, yay for Sara being back in her own body! Boo for Raphy being such a bastard! Honestly, he was sich a bastard in this volume; geez!

As for Kira...still hot and still my favorite bishounen, but a bastard, too. Of course, he is Lucifer, and you gotta feel bad for everyone who's thrown their lot in with Rosiel (goodness...), but still, you'd think he'd feel a little bit as he was slaughtering people right and left. Of course, this could be the fact that Kira's hiding in their somewhere and this is Rosiel's Lucifer as opposed to anything else.

Michael was cool; his sensing Lucifer made me laugh but I love Michael no matter what he does, because he's been a bastard (though a lovable one) since Day One. Setsuna is growing up, which I like; he's a lot less hot-tempered and is acting more like savior, especially dealing with Raziel, who you can't help feel bad for, because he's so adorable no one takes him seriously.

The scene with Lailah and the now-dragon-thing (I can't remember his name; I want to say Yggdraisil (sp) but I think that's wrong) at the end was really, really sweet. I feel bad for Lailah, even though she was Sevy. She still had a heart; she still cared for Metatron, even beyond the project.

And I miss Zaphikel, who was just frickin' cool. He liked tea. I liked that.

So...I really want to know what happens, but still...I don't want it to end. :(

Umm. Choir today. Both in church and in community. Inc hurch we sang at the service; our guys were gone and I was the only alto who actually sings. It was interesting, to say the least. Community choir went well too.

Umm...no school tomorrow. Yippee!!

anneliese still down. Gosh, this sucks.

Gas was 1.99 a gallon. I could fill up my tank on 20 bucks. YAY!

FFN is still down, but whatev.

Went to Borders today and picked up Host Club 7 (yay!) and Her Majesty's Dog 4 (yay!)

Oh, boy. The picture in the back of Host club has my mind reeling out Dark!Hunny/Haruhi perversion (*evil grin*)...but the story was great! I really liked this volume...it may rank up there with 1 and 3.

Her Majesty's Dog 4 was good because something HUGE and plotworthy happened...though, if anyone else follows it, have you noticed that Hyoue and Amane kiss less and less as the volumes go on? And also...if Hyoue needs to at least touch Amane to feed, then how did he manage to go without touching her for a while?

...and now he's not in human-form any more. It's getting more angsty.

I love it!

What else...Church choir was this morning, and I'm the only alto who's not in 7th grade and who sings out. Community choir was this afternoon, and we got placed vocally, and i'm on the end, which is a blessing and a curse. Blessing: I'm on the end. Curse: I'm next to the piano, so if I mess up, it's obvious. And they can hear me, which is scary anyway. But whatever. In choir DrumMajor--whose life is really looking up; not only is she Puck in her school's Midsummer's Night Dream, she also got the Best Drum Major (or whatever) award at the competition she had yesterday--is my only real friend. Now the FlowerSeller and [livejournal.com profile] gigglesphin are gone, we're all alone. *sad face*

But...

I have homework. So there.

Oh, yeah, and I ran into the other little kid that reminds me of Yahiko (It's uber-creepy--he's even ten, only he's blond...*shudder) today. He was on his bike, he made fune of me for having manga with me, I called him a wimpy freak, he called me a baby, and I flipped him off, and walked away.

Yes, I met the kid during VBS at church. Yes, he's called me a lesbian and told me I sucked balls before. So, yes, I flipped him off.

He's not too bad, though--we're friends. Our friendship is based entirely off of insults, and it works.
