Occasionally something so hilarious comes up I feel the urge to post it in this journal.  Usually courtesy of Steve.  This isn't remotely fic/writing related, but it is LJ-related so I suppose that's my justification for this piece of amazing genius.

This is way too much fun.  I'm definitely going to have to finish this series at some point.

Writing Byakuya/Hisana is  so much more interesting.  And I can't believe I wrote Byakuya/Hisana HUMOR.  That's right, HUMOR in a pairing that is almost always angst.

Bleach is such a guilty pleasure for me. Another fandom I'm in primarily for the characters; the storyline is pretty meh at best. I almost stopped following it when it degenerated into the arrankaru arc, but when I saw a few scenes with real jewels of interaction betwen Ichigo/Rukia/Renji/Ishida, I decided to check it out again. I'm mostly irritated because KT's already saddled himself with a ridiculously huge cast of characters. I know there's no reasonable way he can really develop all of them, but he keeps committing himself to *new* characters when a good chunk of the Gotei-13 is still sorely under-developed. It's not like the Bleach plotline is all that fascinating, and I doubt it's what keeps most of us coming back to watch it (oh god, that Karakura being the site needed for the ouken news was so horrifically cliche, even for Bleach). Even the main character, Ichigo, I've found to be utterly uninteresting except in combination with snarky interaction with Rukia/Renji/Ishida/random other Gotei-13 members. =\

Of course, I'm probably a bit biased because my favorite characters are all from Soul Society. Well, ok, and Urahara-san too (that guy is just freakin' hilarious. Less Aizen, more Urahara please <3).

I am indeed alive, but I've decided I really don't care for journals, period, so I've decided to make most of my preceding entries private and switch this over to a writing journal. My daily life isn't so exciting I can be bothered to take the time to write about it.

A list of things so human
  denial
  cruelty
  eyes so cold, so cold as snow atop Fuji, distant as snow atop Everest
  unbending mind
  unbending will as the unmovable rocky armor of Fuji
  unbending mind trapped in delusion -- like the peak of Fuji clouded in mist
  eyes so cold, so unseeing, blinded by icy mist
  eyes too cold to see pain, to see that the unbending will of Fuji against the howling tempest has left the mountainside barren, the vegetation in utter ruin
  eyes whose tears have long frozen unshed, dissipated into the icy mist

A list of things so tragic
  a baby's death
  a baby's slaughter
  sacrifices
  mindless sacrifices
  meaningless sacrifices for men to whom one's life is just an expendable weed to guard the rocky armor of Fuji midst the howling tempest
  a nation's history
  the world's history
  the history of slaughter and the millions of murdered children
  the millions of murdered children and their potential crushed before their spring like the hapless fauna on Fuji by the claws of the bloodthirsty tempest
  a mother's tears
  a wife's tears
  a child's tears as thick and steady as the winter snow falling atop Fuji, as the winter snow burying Everest's peak

A list of things so human
  negligence
  willful negligence
  murderous negligence, cowering behind the icy veil of the mist, knowing the storm will rage and the blossoms and saplings will be crushed but the veil of mist shields the view
  cynicism
  despair
  despair and hate so deep it has imploded and become as nothing
  apathetic cynicism of too many tears piled atop Fuji and it's mingled with the mist and blinded the eyes and the eyes have frozen and have turned into that empty, hollow ice

It's a sad day when term papers inspire one to write poetry. Mingjian Life Trivia for 500. The poem was composed for the term paper on this topic. Mingjian Life Trivia for 600. The poem's title was inspired by these two artistic creations. Need artists' names in the answer for full credit. And shame on you if you have to Google to find one of them. Mingjian Life Trivia for 400. The style of the poetry is heavily based on this. And again, point deduction for Googling the answer!

On another note, I'm completely converted to LaTeX now. Worship it.
