(.....sorry about this)

...There's something so beautiful about lurking in fandom, but especially lurking in yaoi manga/anime fandom, man. Maybe it's just that I get so excited about it and the love is so pure. Wah!! It's so liberating to just love the pretty boys and squee madly if one sort of looks funny at the other and be like, THIS IS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT, OMG.

*sigh* I love being shallow. It's beautiful, gorgeous thing, I swear. It sucks ass to think too much about fandom stuff, because like, while it's fun to analyze (otherwise I wouldn't), it's still distressing to nitpick and know when something's wrong with a story or a picture or what have you. Blissful ignorance, how I've missed you!!

...No, I can't come up with anything of substance for the life of me. Porn, porn, porn... it is my life. Well, the_leaky & like, Sukisho (omg, a new yaoi anime!! yegads, my life is complete!!). Also, I'd always claimed I don't read manga, but as always when I claim something (like, SHOOT ME IF I EVER READ HARRY POTTER) `Color' got me hooked like a bass. Yes, my mouth hanging open and everything, wheeee!!

Ahahah, I haven't gotten to like any particular manga/anime enough to want to read fic for it yet :> Besides, there's too much non-fanfic to read! Woo! No more wanky meta!! I AM FREE, FREE AT LAST!


...Yeah, um, the blond with the ponytail it is :D And the... um, COLORS OF THEIR SOULS BEING ONE >:D ...I really don't know what got to me about it, but suddenly... it's like a lightbulb. I even downloaded the horror that is irc to try to get the rest of the manga, I was like, going MAD with the need to know what happens next even though it's so obvious there's like NO ANGST.

And I have noticed that like, EVERY TIME, one of them has light hair and one has dark. I don't really... um... get that o_0 Maybe the manga-kas think the readers couldn't tell them apart otherwise...?

Are you managing okay with irc? It took me quite a bit to get used to it. Nakama is by far the best channel for yaoi mangas.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Man o_0 I know how to use irc to chat, but it's -really- confusing even though I looked at a tutorial... when I looked at the fserve or whatever it was, I couldn't even tell if it had Color, 'cause it had this list of... uh... well, one of them said 'Nakama', which is a group of different comics, but I don't know what it means... so I gave up and requested it for Streamload in the morning even though that takes longer. Not as long as bittorrent, though o_0 Then again I'm trying to download like, 1 gig with bittorrent, like... there's a new Mirage no Blaze OAV :>

Here you go, great tutorial for IRC leeching.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

yee, thanks! :D
...though generally I'm content with streamload requests >:D 'Cause usually I don't have broadband, y'know, so it's... well, I guess I don't need broadband for irc...? Hmm :>

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

Huh, no of course you don't need broadband. I've spent *months* downloading. I think I've got around 15GB of mangas lying around. I don't even read them any more, they have all blend into one in my head, all pretty, gasping schoolboys, and rookie cops, and melancholic vampires, and twin brothers in love, it's all one, skin and hair and long legs, and impressive amounts of fluids and angst.

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

There is one manga I think you will like 'The Other Side of You' which can be found at Nakama. It's great, angstiest angst, but with a happy ending. I remember you describing Draco as 'need', so you might find it very H/D. Gorgeous blond schoolboy mad in love with old friend, now enemy, dark-haired schoolboy, and therefore is a completely cruel ass to dark-haired guy, then pretty much attacks him and gropes him, then is ashamed and decides to leave guy alone, and is depressed and very pretty.

!!!!!AAAAAH MUST GET!!!!!
...I love almost all schoolboy-crush-type stories :D :D :D :D EEEE :D

...I think I found a new addiction -.- Though not-so-new, since I've been obsessed with comics for -ages-. Melancholic vampires...? I've yet to see those :)) Though I've found a djinn story :>
It's just... better if there's pictures in it :>
Yeeeee, more reading! >:D!

...trying to download things off irc is... driving me slowly mad :> Is there like... any other option? meep? *pitiful noises*

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

Well, get on AIM, I've got it all in one folder and can send it to you, it will take some hours probably though.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

wah! Um... I'm leaving my mother's house to go home :(( Can you upload it to yousendit or streamload.com...? Or ...um... maybe... uh, something else will turn up ^^;; I do have volumes 10 & 11 for my efforts :>

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

Okay, will try yousendit and send you the link.
