Ahh, my birthday is tomorrow~ I will be eighteen! Although, that means almost nothing here, because, well, the only thing I can legally do is vote and have sex with an adult.
Neither will be happening any time soon.
I have been watching the drama Ryuusei no Kizuna. I love it, it's cute and sort of sad at the same time, it's about these three siblings who's parents were murdered when they were kids, and now they are trying to find the man and get revenge. However, it's a lot more complicated than it seems (Shizuna, the sister, falls in love with the murderer's son, and is not actually related to her brothers Taichi and Kouichi) and the swindle a lot of people to get them back for hurting them.
I've also been watchign a ton of anime (I blame Brittany for this!), as well is reading manga. Pandora Hearts is a new one I started (on my own!) and the anime wasn't subbed, so I decided to read the manga so I would know what was happening! It's adorable! And it's got a really original plot, it almost ties in with Alice in Wonderland to some extent, as well as other old myths. Another one is 07 ghosts; I haven't gotten far in the anime, but I am caught up in the manga- and let me say, there are some very (strange) themes going on in this manga. The main characters seem a little to gay for a shonen manga (I think the aouthor is a woman). I mean, there is a piture of Teito (the main character) and his friend in the bath together (which is, incidentally, filled with flowers....) There is nothing sexual about it, it's just weird. And Teito cries alot/ gets really attatched, but otherwise he's a good character.
AS WELL, Fullmetal Alchemist has been restaretd! Since the manga was still going, and the anime and movie were completely different they decided to restart th series and have it go down the same path as the manga! this one is MUCH better (the music is more epic, the animation and fight scenes are better, the japanese voices are the same but better...) and it explains so much more! I'm very pleased with it.
Bookwise, I have recently read a lot of Micheal Ondaatje (especially for school, since my english ISU is on his novel) and Divisadero is the most beautiful, simplle but wonderful book I have ever read. i find it hard to beleive that normal people can live such painstakingly ture but beautiful lives!
As well, I have been reading the Jessica Darling series (something I started in grade nine and recently got back into- I know Lena reads them too XD) I read 1 and 2 a logn tiem ago, then recently bought 3 and 4 once I realized they existed. Last week my mum bought me the 5th one (the last one!) and I finished that too (she also ordered the 1st and 2nd for my birthday) and it ended so well (and come on, we ALL know how it ended!!) Really though, the books really excite me for university, seeing as the 3rd and 4th are about jessica while she's in college. That sort of life excites me greatly, and I'm more impatient than ever to get out of the house and be on my own!
It's coming soon. Although my average dropped from 87% to 84% I'm hoping I'll be able to raise my english mark (I can't beleieve I only got a 72%!!!!) so my average will go up again. I really want to make sure I get into Innis College (though I am already accepted into u of t!)
And that is my life in a nutshell, I guess. Nothing exciting happens XD
