This video has just officially Made My Day. Livin' la Vida Loca has just gained entirely new relevance, because it fits so well to poor Watanuki's woes and - and - I'm just laughing my ass off, period. Youtube, sometimes I love you, especially when I stumble across gems such as this after a long, irritably hot day like

*CRACKS UP* OMG, thanks for sharing. XD Poor, poor Wata-pon.

Sadly, the video still raises the conundrum of what to call Watanuki's dance-wiggle-flail-woobly-spin action, because I'm still stumped. ^^;;

Eh...am busy doing fic research right now (and...downloading a bunch of kurofai doujinshi X3) - and you remember I said CLAMP hadn't made it clear whether Fai was still vamp-y after he got his magic back? I got it wrong. Yuuko explicitly states that once Fai gets his lost eye back the need for vampire blood will be negated. >>;; *slinks off again*

I thought she had, but I was too lazy to go look. XD Fic research, I know it well, I'm currently doing it myself. =x Thank God for Mangafox, all my manga are currently in a box in the garage.

And clearly, there's nothing to call that move except 'doing the Watanuki'.

Said research involved trawling through the internet in search of a picture of a magic circle and a sword for two hours. *headdesk* I just had to get distracted by the doujinshi. really. Revisited some old CCS sites that were helpful - especially for telling me that Syaoran literally translates to 'little wolf'. *happy squeaks were heard*

...Watanuki can't do the Watanuki! Because...that just sounds wrong? ^^; (Though with the amount of twins/clones running around this CLAMP-verse....)

<3 Five volumes of manga and 12 episodes of anime. Two of the three main characters (and my preferred shipping) are in my icon.

Basically, at an all-boys boarding school, the school board decides that the students need to have experience dealing with girls before they graduate. So every year, two or three of the prettiest freshmen are forced/coerced/convinced to dress up as girls for school events. XD The entire student body knows they're boys, but idolize them anyway. It's mostly fluffy humor. The manga has vague hints of shonen-ai, the anime's a bit more blatant about it.

...I like the sound of this. *amused*

Ouran High School Host Club is about this girl called Haruhi who gets a scholarship to attend a high-class school for the stupidly wealthy. There, she gets coerced into assisting the Host Club - a group of boys who entertain young ladies for profit -, but they think she's a BOY to start with, and make her a host, only...to figure out (very slowly) they've got a girl in their midst. So they attempt to keep it secret from the whole school, with rather interesting rsults, while all the while hiding crushes on her. (Even though Tama spends most of the series insisting he's her father. ^^; )

XD Oh, nice. I shall definitely have to look into it, then.

There are three main characters in Princess Princess, the titular princesses. Shihoudani is totally willing to cross-dress and even enjoys it, he has a wicked sense of humor and enjoys teasing people. He's my favorite. <3 Toru, who's more or less the narrator and 'main' main character, is a princess for profit, since it comes with all sorts of perks like free room and board and free textbooks. As for the thrid princess.... Imagine Watanuki forced to be in this situation, and you have Mikoto. X3 He's even gaga about his girlfriend like Wata-pon is about Himawari. And oh, the SPAZZING.

[shadow_of_egypt]

And I'll be checking out PP. X3 Series-swap...the latest phenomenon.

...I-I love you so much for sharing this. Best use of Ricky Marten EVER.

[archangelunmei]

Cuuuuuuuuuurse yooooooooou.....

*Is on chapter 3 of Ouran, already hooked* XD Hikaru and Kaoru remind me of Fred and George, I like them. And is it bad I think I ship Honey/Takashi? Honey's always riding around on his shoulders! Kyaaaa~!

[shadow_of_egypt]

The art gets much prettier as the series goes on - the twins especially. ^^

On another note~ d'you know anywhere that has Princess Princess online? I went looking for it on onemanga where I live usually go, but...to no avail.

[archangelunmei]

You can find about half of it here. Beyond that, I'm not sure. =/
