tarigwaemir1. Saw March of the Penguins with roommate. Baby penguins are adorable! ::sprinkles millions of ASCII hearts:: Also, I've decided that I want a husband with a penguin personality: male emperor penguins starve for more than three months keeping the egg warm throughout the winter while their wives go off to feed after the ordeal of producing the egg. What devotion!
2. I've suddenly remembered the real reason why I want to be Peter Wimsey. (I've just finished Strong Poison, by the way.) Not because he is witty, has an excellent memory for quotes, loves collecting books, possesses riches and fame and a title to boot...no, those reasons pale in the face of his true asset: Bunter! I want to be Lord Peter Wimsey so I can have someone like Bunter around all the time. After all, he does everything excellently whether it be cooking, photography or crossword puzzles. Moreover, he has a fashion sense! I would never need to shop for clothes again! Which brings me to the next point...
3. Among many of the items that I politely agreed to have purchased for me as gifts from my generous and loving family (that is not meant to be sarcastic, no matter how it may sound), my uncle's wife gave me two blouses and...a pink-striped push-up bra with matching underwear. (Made of a rayon-polyester blend no less.) I fear that I will never bring myself to wear the latter, but I put on one of the blouses today and was once again amazed by the fact that it fits. By "fits" I mean that it does not expect me to have a figure, so that it actually more or less reflects my actual body shape. O_O No wonder some people buy all their clothes in Korea; not only is it cheaper but it also doesn't make you feel like you're wearing someone else's hand-me-downs. I might even enjoy shopping if that were the case. ::gasps dramatically:: But then again, the selection of clothes isn't all that different even if the cut is. The whole reason for this long-standing quarrel between shopping and me is that what I really want to wear are billowing robes and velvet-lined capes. ^_^
4. Halfway through Issola. The Jenoine are kind of uninteresting, which is why it's hard to keep my attention on the plot. ::sighs:: Anyway, now that I have a sense of what most of the Houses are like, I have concluded that I am probably by nature an Athyra but my parents tried to bring me up like a Lyorn. I am not cool enough to be a Dragon, alas.
5. Oh yes, I forgot to say: the last paragraph of Norwegian Wood! Totally redeems the white flagpole quote a thousand, no, a million times over! ::is in awe::
Yours &c.
Post-script: Whoa, I completely forgot that my original intention was to post the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
30_kisses themes I wrote today. Hm, maybe I ought to save posting until I finish them off; I want to post in one big batch. But you aren't missing much; they are only notable in that they are my first successful attempts at fluff.

Date: 2005-08-02 01:53 am (UTC)One day, I may be able to write proper Hana Yori Dango fic; if I write it now, it will invariably be...painful.
The popular Taiwanese live-action drama "Meteor Garden" was based on this series, by the way.
