so, i finally finished love mode, and now i'm in a rather reflective mood. for one thing, the drawing has improved beyond all reason in the last book. it's mind-boggling. even izumi looks sexy! (~gag~ heresy...) i kind of wish shiki hadn't been so... perfect. it makes it hard to deal with him as a living character. it's as if we only get to meet him through the memories of reiji and takamiya, and they only remember the best parts, since he's dead. i feel bad for naoya, having to live up to shiki, but he's been doing better lately. yay for naoya's newly-developed spine!

and kiichi makes me go WAH!!! i want him to run off and live in sin forever with Haruomi and Tien Lee. but then, Kiichi and Haruomi make me go squish as it is - i don't know if i could deal with two Haruomis. i might die of the sexy.

anyway, much love to little miss thunder-thighs for sending me the link! i'm already busy corrupting our youth with it. =)

p.s. dying of the sexy is *definitely* not a bad way to go...

aaaaaaand I went through the mail tonight and found your package! I don't know how long it's been there - my parents never give me my mail anymore. =(

but =) because you are the nicest and most awesome person ever! I have tons and tons of snuggles for you, so, if you're free after five...? or if you're interested in doing the Shakespeare thing, I think I'm going this Sunday. either way, i need to see you to give you all the hugs (and cookies) you deserve!

and, in case I haven't made it clear enough: Thank you! You are too sweet for words!

wah! I went to see ze play the day before yesterday (it's wonderful! they did a great job with it), and I'm leaving for parts unknown (aka Vinelhaven, ME) early tomorrow, so unless you're free today...

anyway, I meant everything I said! you're definitely worth it.

come to think of it, you're not going *all* that far away...I'll be back from ME on the 29th, and free 'til BLS starts...hm. Must get my Veronica fix somehow. :o)

...see, this is ironic. I'm going to Maine as well. I believe we're leaving on the 18th. And we're back sometime around Labor Day. When does school start for you?

I move in on the 10th. yay.

We stay in a house on Bryant Pond (or Lake Christopher. I think one is the actual body of water and the other is the town, but I don't know which is which). It's inland and not very far north, I think.

*but gives a very sweet smile anyways* :D The last book was seriously so much love. I really felt Shiki was perfect for Reiji, but then Takamiya wouldn't have gone monogamous and Naoya would be quite lonely. But, I felt so bad for Reiji at the end. I'm glad he has opened his heart to someone who's completely different than Shiki, and well ReijixNaoya fluuuuff :D

Yeah. Izumi looks like a bratty version of little Reiji and Naoya a less horny version of little Takamiya. O_o I wish all of Love Mode had this good of art. T_T

Shiki reminds me most of Kiichi. I think that's one of the reasons Reiji falls for him, but that's so squicky incest. AND KIICHI. HOW I LOVE THEE. T___T; Haruomi might be occupied, but Tien Lee still hasn't been wooed by Yi Shin. You still have hope! (but I bet he's totally enamoured with Kiichi too...Kiichi should just take both of them in and have lots of lurve XD)

AND YOU!!!!! FIND A DAY TO BE FREE SO I CAN BOMBARD YOU WITH SOME NEW SHOWS. I HAVE FOUND CRACK CRACKIER THAN POT DOUJINSHI. AND IT'S AN ANIME. YOU WILL LOVE IT. OURAN KOKO HOST CLUB. I WIIIILL MAKE YOU WATCH IT.

You'll love Kyouya. He is Kiichi/Inui/Fuji all rolled up in one.

Shiki was good for Reiji at that stage in his life, but once he got his seme-legs under him, I think Naoya was more his type. And yes, by the way, half the attraction was totally the similarity to Kiichi. Right when he has that heart-to-heart with Takamiya about almost-incest, he's thinking about Kiichi, like, "I should not love you in this way but I love you so much in other ways that if you needed me to I would." (incest bothers me less than it should in manga, really...)

um, well, I'm free weekends except this one. I think I've talked Nick into seeing Taming of the Shrew on Sunday - want to come? also, would your parents release you for a weekend trip? I'm headed up to Maine soon for my yearly mind-melt, and my folks said I could invite some friends.

I'm kind of held up with a sprained calf and stomach flu all this week...I'll be lucky to get out actually ~_~ But Maine! *___* I would love to if my parents release their vise-like grip (that would mean a lot of wheedling and um. yesh. a lot of wheedling and not exposing skin i.e. in tanks for a while o.x...I can't believe my parents still think tanks are underwear and cannot be worn in public -_-) Also, I might be busy with driving lessons. BUT SANKYUU SO MUCH for allowing an invite in the first place!!! :DDDD I will wheedle if you'll give me a time/place/location/etc. Because my parents are still. Well. Victorian in that sense.

Love Mode makes me melt when I reread it. Such a good story, but I want more of Aoe Papa and Nishiki!!! And the Kashima Sr. Jin thing O_O
From: [identity profile] meretricula.livejournal.com
eek! feel better soon, sweetie.
um. so, my family is driving up a week from Saturday, i.e. the 19th. I'm taking the bus back home on Monday or Tuesday so I can go to work, and then taking the bus back to Maine either Thursday after work or sometime Friday. Then I stay for another week, and then my family drives home so we can finish packing and send me off to college. >_>;; would either of your parents want to talk to my folks? i don't know, parental units like to commuicate with each other for some reason.

I <3 Kashima Sr, but why is he so evil? and poor poor Nishiki. ~shakes head~ too sexy for his own good.

Veronique! My darling! Having received your phone call, I am trying to get in touch with you! Hold me not in such suspense! My heart cries out for you.

(I have been at work all day and am very, very tired. I apologize for this oddball comment.)

~huggles~ already emailed you, so hopefully the suspense is over?

*corrupted youth pops up* Heh, Izumi, sexy? Don't make me laugh. *rolls eyes*

Reiji and Naoya forever! Wow, now that you've mentioned it, Shiki IS like Kiichi... And Kiichi rocks. :P 3TP with Haruomi and Tien Lee, huh... *cackle*

Pretty please send me more Viewfinder! Although Reiji is cooler than Asami...

well, at least he looks presentable...

but there's always the temptation of momentary experimentation... you think Reiji ever did it with Takamiya? it'd be kind of pretty, in a hilariously over-seme'd way...

I will! as soon as I can bring myself to get out of bed and crawl over to my desktop computer, instead of lazing around on my shiny laptop... heh, btw, since you've read both LM and VF, Kiichi x Feilong: totally good for Feilong's nerves?

Hmmm...

Reiji/Takamiya? That would be interesting...

Don't worry, I'm lazy too...

Definitely. XD

oh, btw: the chapter 5 you have, did it have a letter appended to it (like 5a or 5b)? 'cause I have it in two sections, and I wasn't sure if you had both.
