My final exam for Elizabethan Literature is tomorrow and I'm plodding along just fine. Am surprised at how well the studying is going. But then, here I am on LJ updating my progress. >_< I feel as if there's something odd about that. I love wireless by the way. I'm also simultaneously working on my Akito Holiday Fic - hitting a point in the timeline I haven't even gone near yet. Yay.

What I love most about the holiday season? This sudden plethora of fic. There's going to be a good number of new fics on Akito cause of this occasion. I LOVE Akito-fic. Have I mentioned that before? =)

SR-71: "My World" - Oddly sad song.

Tori Amos: "Crucify" - I've just discovered Tori Amos. Thanks flamika. Am going to buy her CD "Little Earthquakes" this weekend. XD

I decided, for my own sanity, to keep a current list of all BL/Yaoi manga that comes to the US. I know I'm missing a couple, so fill me in if you feel something should be there. It starts with the newest and upcoming titles, with the oldest ones at the end. Sorted by date.

Tell me if I'm missing something. I feel like I am...

I'll definitely have to put this entry in my Memories. Gots to get me some translated BL manga. XD

There is also Gravitation. And Banana Fish?

[demeter918.livejournal.com]

*facefaults* Like, duh! Gravitation and Banana Fish! *shakes head* Sometimes I think I function on half-capacity or something.

*adds* There's a new list. That'll be the permanent (hopefully) place for the list. Unless something really drastic needs to change. >_

OMG I love Tori Amos.

Seriously, each album is a different jewel. My favorite album is either From the Choirgirl Hotel or Boys for Pele, but the latter is really weird. Harpsichords and choirs and all sorts of strange stuff.

YAY to new Tori fans!! *runs around in circles*

[demeter918.livejournal.com]

*sparkle* Ooh, weird? I'll take a look at the CD and then dl some of the songs to see if I like that album. I'm into unconventional music because it's a blast to write to.

YES. I HAVE BECOME A TORI FAN. *g*

I haven't actually read it, but didn't Demon Diary also have shounen ai? Petshop of Horrors has a few scenes of shounen ai, too. But whether or not those can be labeled as truly shounen ai, I'm not sure.

Thanks so much for making a list--it does help. There's only one or two I haven't seen in the stores, and sadly more than a few I haven't read yet. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get around to them someday. ^___^

[demeter918.livejournal.com]

Demon Diary was like Petshop, I think. Hinted, but I'm not sure if they ever crossed that line (I haven't read the last volume yet). For now, it's included, though I might make separate list that has all the series that have the subtext, but not necessarily the actual text. =) Most anything by CLAMP comes to mind. *g*

And don't get anything just yet. XD

[aka-anonymous.livejournal.com]

Well, technically, PSoH does have shounen ai because T-chan's human form kissed Count D. ^_^ And he was all for it...okay, so it was so he could tame T-chan and it was possible he'd lose a few limbs in the process, but still.

CLAMP, Fushigi Yuugi, and...a whole bunch of others.

That icon is NOT RIGHT. >_

Doraemon ROCKS, baby. XD
