OURAN! FMA! I approve. I really need to read the Ouran Manga. I am soooo slow.
Donna is exactly what the Doctor needed. <3
You know, I've got my 101 in 1000 list and one of the things on it is to write a poem that doesn't suck. Poetry puts me at a loss, mostly. There are poems that I like, and there are poems that I don't like. I can't really put my finger on the differences though, except to say that I'm not a fan of rhyming all that much. I need to figure out how structure works.
The Ouran manga is a lot of fun - I highly recommend read it if you have a chance.
Ah, poetry. It's structured and un-structured all at once and it's so tricky to know which word should go where. I'm not sure how poets do it, really - I tend to stick to the absurd, rhyming-type poems myself. :D
I wrote fanfiction for a while, mostly based on characters from the game "Fire Emblem". At the moment, I'm working on a sort of pseudo intellectual romance piece...and the memoirs, of course!
As I said to XLemurofEvilX I quite enjoy "Megatokyo". It's a webcomic/american manga which has tendencies to get...complex. I recommend ".hack//legend of the twilight bracelet" for light reading - very enjoyable!
Oh sweet - I live right near that now. I'll be there next time it's on. And we'll definitely visit you at Armageddon if I can drag my friends away from their Stargate fangirling...

Thanks - I'll have a look at those two. I think we have that hack series at work, which would be quite handy.
I'm quite intrigued by the term "pseudo intellectual romance piece"...

Basically, it's 10% Douglas Adams-esque comedy, 20% romance, and 70% intellectual angst. Yes, a teenager writing angst. How original! =P

woo manga and music

That's what I thought! I have so much to catch up on. If you have any manga or music recs, I'll gratefully accept them. :)
Katiefoolery 2 years ago
well music would say Muse, but as I can see you got that covered, haven't got the new album yet myself.
As for manga, I'm currently reading Bleach
littleweirdguy 2 years ago
Bleach is an excellent choice. :D I'm thinking of re-reading it and then trying to catch up.

I'd reccomend Death Note and Othello. Both excellent mangas.
Oh and you should watch Glee! *nods*

I read the manga, and saw the anime, of "Death Note". Friends of mine think it's the greatest thing ever, but I really didn't find it that good...
I quite enjoy .hack, and Megatokyo...

I tried reading Death Note a little while ago and just couldn't get into it for some reason. I shall have a look for the other one, though.
Glee is indeed a lot of cheesy fun! I'm enjoying it.

If you're after cheap manga, go to the farmers markets, that's where I found Othello and Guru Guru Pon Chan. Four for ten bucks!
There's also a really good manga about an anime convention... which I cannot remember for the life of me. Curses! DX
But it is awesome

Which farmers' markets? I only ever seem to find the ones with food. Which is nice and everything, but it's not manga.
I'm going to Armageddon in a few weeks, so I'm hoping to find some cheapish stuff there maybe. Hell, I'll buy it even if it's not. :D

Uh... the Heathmont one was the one I was at.
You're going to Armageddon? I'm going too! You should check out the Deakin Anime Club table *hint hint*
