(no subject)

I taught my adorable first years for the first time today at my base school and they were so cute! They were also very excited I was into Harry Potter, Bleach, Naruto, and Fruits Basket. ;) I was careful to not mention certain other series I like since I'm sure it'll confuse their little heads off but that's okay. In a year, I'm sure I can tell them that I'm fond of Koori and Mushishi and ooh, look at the new yaoi volume by Yamada Yuki whom I absolutely adore. I sure hope some of her manga get translated.

So anyways, one of them asked me who my favorite character in Fruits Basket was and I answered (but of course) that Akito was and they all gasped... but in a good way! They started saying 'onna', 'onna', 'onna', which means women and when I nodded, they looked very pleased. They were also equally enthusiastic when I said I liked Rin and Tohru. The same with Sakura and Rukia. Huh. It was a very different reaction from the ones you might find on a random message board.

I have about a million and one things to send out. Fret not. I will get it done. Eventually.
