I'm ALIVE!
God I really hate it when people write "then" instead of "than". It makes me wince like something stung my eye. But you know what really, really irks me?

WHEN PEOPLE WRITE "LIGHTENING" INSTEAD OF "LIGHTNING".

Just. What. Why. And I see a lot of really good authors with excellent grammar make this mistake multiple of times (no I'm not a stalker). WHY. I mean, with "then" and "than" I understand that people use "then" more than "than" so it's kinda understandable why people would make the mistake. But "lightening" is imo a more obscure word than "lightning". Geez, I don't even know if it's real or just a made up word. :\

TLDR "lightening" makes me facepalm and headdesk a lot. Oh, and I want to rant too.


Pee Es, I love how angry, infuriated, irritated and other similar moods in my moodtheme has Gokudera in it.


Hey flist, what's up?

I always thought maybe lightening was the british spelling of lightning, so I let it slide though it annoyed me to no end, but I just tried to google and it doesn't look like that, so. I'm with you on the crusade against using "lightening" to mean "lightning" there.

And then vs than, god. Don't even get me started.

EEEEEVVYYYYYYY. How's Chicago?

I-it didn't even occur to me that lightening might be British, though I googled lightening first before posting this, and I was right in thinking that lightening is the present participle of lighten.

But seriously, "Outside, lightening strikes"? GAH *headdesk*

K, um, let's stay away from then vs. than.

It's great. :D How're you? There's an HP con in San Fran this July-- any chance of you being there? :P

I guess I've seen it used by so many generally decent writers that I've excused their behavior. :\ though it is good to know my instincts were right.

*pets*

A-ahaha, um, I might be going to Anime Expo in LA instead. (I am so removed from the HP fandom now.)

I know, right? The person who had that mistake is an RP player I have utmost respect for, which kinda added to the ick factor. :(

Eeeee, you know Reborn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *is so happy* See, I'm pretty sure none of my flist knows Reborn. Boo. And that's a Reborn moodtheme, not just Gokudera. 'sides, if I'm gonna put a one character moodtheme there, it's gonna be Yamamoto. :)b

Hehe, KHR is awesome xD I'm clearly late in entering the fandom but ah well xD I couldn't stop reading the manga when I started it and ended up getting very little sleep for 2-3 days >_> And Yamamocchan is made of awesomesauce<3 Though Gokudera's still my favorite, hehe 8D Also, asdsljgdafkeybawrdsmashhe 8059 icon <3 Such good taste, you have PauPau, such good taste <333 (I am sadly afraid to fangirl 8059 IRL because I am surrounded by Everybodyx27 fans -shifty eyes-)

And hehe yeah, I kinda waddled away from the animanga/yaoi fandom for awhile back there so I wasn't really on LJ much xD; And I'm good, I'm good. Canada's cold and has whacky weather, but it's all good, heh.

Inorite? I've been a fan for over a year, and I've never missed the weekly spoilers... In the One Piece fandom, I lasted 3 months, I think, and then I lost interest waiting for those spoilers. :|

Well, I can see the allure of vongolorgy, but I also see Dera as the Vongola bicycle... instead of Tsuna. (and to think I'm pretty possessive of 8059, I don't like Yama sharing his Dera-chan! lol Don't even let me start on 5927 YUCK).

Yama is so awesome... I think my bestfriend disowned me 'cause I kept on rambling about Yama's awesomeness. Dera is awesome too. ♥

UGH, Washington is cold too, so I hear ya.

....-subtly tries to hide 5927 doujins- (I...I...but...puppy-doggy-obsessiveness and...and....-twiddles thumbs-) Haha, part of me is agreeing with the Dera as the Vongola (pssh, why stop at Vongola) bicycle but I do believe that has something to do with my obsessive make-fave-character-the-passable-uke-thingamajig-habit....

What I don't really get is when people make Hibari the centre of all raburabu attention :\ And ukefied...wutwutwut. I can only really see that happening with Dino :\

Yama is made of awesome. Goku is made of rainbow-colored awesome. Hence, why 8059 works -nodnod- Ok, it really makes more sense in my head...and prolly when I'm drunk or something(And aaaw, -adopts abandoned Pau <3-)

Summer ;A; I long for thee </3

Young lady, you're too young to drink.... right? :P

Oh yeah, Frana's the one who likes to ukefy her favorite characters (even if they're not uke). Hahaha. Um. And about 5927... see, I'm a rabid 27kyoko shipper so I really can't see 5927 except horribly one-sided. (Except when I kinda don't want 27K in canon because that might end up with 59Haru, which I like even less than 5927. 'sides, I prefer 2759, eheheh.)

About ukefied Hibari, I hear ya. D18 <3333333 And Hibari is as close to a godmode as Reborn, so I can see the appeal why people, esp. the Japanese fans, LOOOVE Hibari to death. But I'm still smarting from the latest poll with Yama at the 8th, below Squalo, Xanxus and Dino who were absent in the 1st half of the Future Arc.

8059 IS AWESOMESAUCE TO THE EXTREMEEEE!!! ok, I'm through.

Yes, summer please.

Ahahaha....-shifty eyes- I'm 18 now? Er...as...of...last month anyway -shifty eyes- I was too young to look at porn too and look how that turned out

And hehe, yeah. Not so much anymore, but somedays I still get the urge to ukefy everybody, kekekeke....Oooh, I see, I see. I'm kinda meh-ish on 27Kyoko but they're okay. I don't really care much for either Tsuna or Kyoko (except when I make fun of Tsuna) so them together doesn't really do anything for me, lol. (-twitches at 59Haru- if...if...that ends up as cannon...I can prolly ignore that. Same with how I manage to ignore HeeroxRelena throughout Gwing [DENIAL FTW]....-chokes at 2759- </strike>Though to be honest, I'm starting to like that after reading this really well written TYL!2759 fic....Tsuna is so gonna be a BAMF Don in the future 8D...well, maybe not but still</strike>)

Yama needs more loving ;A; (though admittedly, I'm terribly fond of Squalo and his Squalo-ness)

Oh you are? LOL sorry. :P

Tsuna is.... yeah, I love Tsuna, but I'm not the type of person to go for the main character. 27K works in tandem with 8059 so I'm ok with it (together with other pairings AS LONG AS THEY STAY AWAY FROM MY OTP -__-;). About 59Haru, ever since *SPOILERS* RyoHana came out everyone was fearing for Reborn to become Digimon (where everyone was paired off in the end). If it happens, I'll probably barf or something. (UGH.)

I. Won't say anything anymore because I'm pretty sure I'll just continue ranting about Yama's awesomeness. And Squalo is ttly awesome too.

P.S.
Frana. Hibari's seiyuu (Takashi Kondo) will be playing as Vald of Crimson Spell. JESUS CHRIST UKE!HIBARI.

Ugh, sic Haru on someone else BUT KEEP HER AWAY FROM (YAMAMOTO'S)GOKUDERA D< (RyoHana kinda came outta no where [Lol, I was rooting for RyoIpin despite the age gap] so er, maybe they'll come up with some weird out of the blue pairing for Haru? -prays- [PAIR HER WITH IRIE OR SOMETHING])

P.S. UGH. WUT? I...I..I REJECT. NEED TO WATCH IN MUTE NAO. (Actually, since I really haven't seen Reborn the anime, it's not as bad for my brain). BUT STILL. Anything uke!Hibari (aside from when it involves Dino) = DNW.
