Aand, first post of the year.
Kinda pathetic if you think about me posting 45 days into the year when so much must have happened over that time. But meh. It's become my curse... To really, really want to write something while on the train/walking to the train station/on the bus/at school, et cetera. But by the time I get home to my computer, it doesn't seem worth it to even write, if I remember what I wanted to talk about in the first place.
Anyway, it's February 14th. For a country with so much foreign influence, it means two things are big today: Valentine's Day, and Chinese New Year. I never really cared for both. I don't celebrate Chinese new year just because I don't have Chinese Blood in me (well do have some Spanish blood, if I'm not mistaken, but the Spanish don't have their own new year, so LOL). Then there's Valentine's, which, for the past four years now, I've spent reciting "Love? Love? You want Love? There was no love! Love is just a myth!"... Not that I'm bitter or anything. It started out as a joke back in highschool, and I'd probably do it for the rest of my life, even if I do get in a relationship of some sort.
Oh, and by the way.... As many of you may know, I'm a HUGE fan of CLAMP's work, especially xxxHOLiC (and you've probably seen me cosplay Watanuki Kimihiro, too). The thing is, I'm also not into yaoi... Which means I don't ship DouWata. And since like most people over at alcoholiclove, I ship YuuClow. Case in point: the only pairing left to ship would be HimaWata (hence the icon). Anyway, the past two chapters have left me in AWE of the recent developments in their relationship, considering Himawari has been pretty much dead since the timeskip happened. And although many are partial to say that their exchange of "I love you"'s (gotta check the RAW to see what actual Japanese word they used) seem to be just "love between two friends", I honestly beg to differ, considering that it is pretty much out-of-character for those two (or any CLAMP character, in my opinion), to be exchanging endearment so verbally if it wasn't romantic. Although, it may just be me with my wishful thinking, since I don't see any DouWata fans raging over the entire thing, and therefore, they don't see the relationship as a threat, therefore implying that the relationship doesn't exist in the first place...
...now that's just me being paranoid.
