I love Shoji Kawamori's works. But I hate and love him (and the works). And although he is someone I sometimes hate to love, I don't think I ever loved to hate him (er, maybe at one point).

Watching them drift together and then apart because of their own awkwardness and outside circumstances was the best kind of torture.
And I love your icon~. Some RP buddies and I had a huge Star Trek discussion the other night, so that made me smile.

Haha, yea. I notice with ST, there's always that character or two who gets crap for whatever reason, but people should still be able to admit that the character was cool or a bad ass.
