"oh Suzuna"
0 comments, it seems

Warning: This post contains no intelligent content at all; I will be writing about particular titles of Japanese manga and rambling on about it as if you know exactly what I’m talking about. Thank you.

I’ve been reading Eyeshield 21, so yeah I’m always a bit slow at picking up things and probably every other manga-lover out there has long finished with the series, or what is available of it online, but bear with me. I really like the character of Suzuna, a cute girl with a mostly flat chest - yes, I empathize with the latter characteristic, and may I add that I only noticed because she was pointed out to having a bra cup size A and having ‘no sex appeal’, so no I’m not that shallow - and while reading the series I had this nagging thought, which was that I’d seen the name “Suzuna” before. I don’t know if it’s a common Japanese name, but it did strike me that I’d read some manga series somewhere with a character in it called Suzuna. Or it could be anime, but I rarely watch anime.

It’s just really bothering me because I feel the information is right there in my head, within grasp, but I’m not taking the right steps towards it. AnimeNfo’s character search was no help. I did a little searching online, though I gave up quite quickly. If anyone has any ideas it would be nice. It’s not important, just you know, when you think you remember something and you can’t, it’s quite annoying. Notes: I don’t watch/read Naruto, or Inu-Yasha, or something called Moonlight Lady, which is hentai (Wikipedia informed me of this one), so if you were thinking of suggesting that one you’ve got cheek. =P

I’m pretty sure it’s not an obscure series. I don’t know. Could be a game. But I’m not really big on anything that isn’t Final Fantasy.

Anyway, back to more productive things. Note to Joey: Thanks again for the link to PHP Form Mailer script, it’s working out really well. =)

Just a thought: If MYFCOnline.com is about Marrying Your Favourite Character… why are they allowing online marriages to non-fictional people, i.e. non-characters? I think that kinda spoils the whole thing. =/ Oh and I love Edward Elric, love the dude, imperfect hot-tempered prodigies are to be loved, but as much as I like reading about him I wouldn’t want to marry him.

"Fruits and… Planets?"
2 comments, it seems

Been catching up with Fruits Basket and OMG I can’t believe it’s nearly over now. I feel happy at how things are working out, but sad at the looming ending. And OMG that was such a bland typical thing to say but in my fangirl mode my vocabulary skills drop sharply (not that they were at an admirable level anyway).

OH OH and if anyone remembers that I, being incredibly lame and at the same time being an incredible perfectionist, had yet to finish a single Final Fantasy game despite having first introduced to the charms of Ifrit and Shiva in 2000/2001, due to my insistence on playing the games ‘right’ and progressing with level-ups, and getting as many GFs, or attaining as much Materia, or completing as many side quests as was possible of myself… if anyone actually remembers that, well remember differently.

FOR I HAVE BEAT SEPHIROTH. XD

Okay fine, it wasn’t my game file, it was Yazid’s (though I contributed significantly to it, it is about a year old now). BUT STILL. And I never had to get the bloody Gold chocobo to get to the Materia caves. Just a lot of “Comet2″ and Summons and taking advantage of Limits and gawd I love “Magic Hammer” ^_^ (did I use that in the final battles though? can’t remember).

I have a brief memory of one time I stumbled into the final battle with Ultimecia in FF8: I wasn’t ready for it, I just got to the area by accident, and thought, “What the hell” and decided to do a sort of test drive, or test battle, and see how tough she was. I think I was wiped out in 5 minutes. XD The fights with Sephiroth, in comparison, weren’t easy, but not that tough, you just have to keep going at it.

…That was directed to any other poor soul who has yet to beat the game. ^^;;

Anyway, I now have an important website to work on. *sigh*
