I’ll look around and see if I can add a “preview” function… that’s the sort of habit I like to encourage. Thanks for the suggestion.

And Tae, I love ya. I thought about nitpicking that you didn’t know me in middle school… but I’m pretty sure you’ve read things I wrote in middle school (you brave soul). And thanks for the link.

I NEED that audio clip! I must find one!!

Carmen, awaaaay!

((also, commenting needs a “preview” function because now I’m always afraid I’ll use the wrong sort of tag for italics and stuff. Cater to my special needs, and all that. :p ))

Twilight is covered in crack. There is no other explanation for its appeal. Or she’s got some mind control experiment going on. I downloaded the PDF to torture myself with….it ain’t worth it. *I* write better. You and Gremlin have written better since middle school, easily. As soon as I read the review (a roasting really) where they picked out such charming verbatim descriptions such as his ‘incandescent chest’ and ’scintillating arms’….well. You can imagine. If you’re curious and want a laugh, reading Shinga’s chapter by chapter summary:

However, I do have a fantastic memento: this brief audio clip I found somewhere that just says (as solemnly and melodramatically as you can imagine), “The fate of the world is at stake, and we’re forced to rely on a trained monkey!”

Sometimes I look at the Gatchaman (even though I knew it as G-Force too, the actual name seems more accurate) box sets and think about buying them. And then I bleach my brain out.
