This and that

Thank you all for the kind words about my grandma--I talked to my parents last night and she's doing okay for the moment. She can't talk, but she seems to understand them, and she can move enough that at one point she took off her blood pressure cuff. Heh. I think she must not be crazy about the hospital, because Dad mentioned he was getting The Look from her. Oh, Grandma.

I meant to post this earlier in the week, but this was my very entertaining weekend. I was surprised by how good the food was at the tea house. I ate roots, y'all, and enjoyed it. And genmaicha tea = OMG YES MORE PLZ.

Meant to post these at the month changeover, but monthly fic links over at [livejournal.com profile] herdedcats:

And now, a meme: Name any character I know and I'll tell you three reasons why s/he sucks.

Rukia. And Milly.

I knew you were gonna do that.

Rukia

1. She really needs to not be so accepting that certain people are better than her and that's that. Question WHY you won't get seated! Don't assume your brother is always right!

2. She's not someone who needs to be protected, no, but sometimes in her bluster to show she's fine, she ignores people's feelings and that's lame.

3. STOP LETTING YOUR GUARD DOWN IN BATTLE, WOMAN, IT'S WHAT GETS YOU HOLES IN YOUR TUMMY.

aaand Milly

1. The idiot savant thing is fun, but sometimes she needs to cut the childish front out and act like a damn adult.

2. Meryl might be the senior partner, but looking to her to make every decision puts too much pressure on her, damn.

3. Girl does not know how to dress to her figure. Being on a shitty desert planet is no reason to be unfashionable.

Yeah, not a lot of reasons she sucks.

Dammit, I was gonna do that!

SO GIVE ME ANOTHER.

I'm glad your grandma is doing well. Mine is not enjoying the hospital either. She's on a respirator and she keeps trying to take it out.

How about...Renji, Byakuya and...Hiro.

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2007-06-07 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope both of them don't have to be there too long!

Oh you're evil.

Renji:

1. He shouldn't have let her think he didn't care anymore, I'm sorry. Even if he did think she'd be better off, if he was her best friend, he should have known her well enough to know how that would make her feel.

2. He needs to get some damn tactical strategy skills, for a vice-captain.

3. GET SOME SELF ESTEEM, DOGGIE.

Byakuya:

1. He sucks for hiding behind duty to avoid making the hard choices.

2. He sucks for that whole "you can't have a seat but I'll let you think you're just not good enough" business.

3. He sucks for telling Rukia she looked like Hisana but not why. A NORMAL PERSON WOULD THINK THAT'S WEIRD.

Hiro:

1. Uh...he sometimes is a little too cutesy.

2. Don't send Ando away, dumbass, you're lost without him.

3. Uh, he could use a better wardrobe?

Blood pressure cuffs are a pain, I totally get where your grandma is coming from. *hearts* I hope she can go home soon.

As always I feel obligated to go against the norm: Laguna Loire. Because Laguna needs more love.

1. He needs to learn to say "no" to people. DON'T STICK AROUND HELPING SOME PEOPLE GET A GOVERNMENT TOGETHER WHEN YOUR PREGNANT WIFE IS WAITING FOR YOU.

2. I find the dorkiness to be adorable, but he shouldn't retreat into it as a defense mechanism when he's nervous.

3. He should have found Ellone sooner, since apparently there's only one orphanage in the ENTIRE WORLD.

Hospitals suck, I'm totally with your grandma.

Ichigo.

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2007-06-11 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. :)

1. I can see WHY he's got the hero complex, since everyone spent all of the SS arc telling him he was the only one who could save Rukia, but really, he needs to stop thinking he's the only one who can fight.

2. You get run through all the fucking time, boy, you have no call to be acting cocky.

3. He needs to think of his family more. Sure, he can't tell them about the shinigami stuff (or so he thinks) but he should at least come up with a bullshit exucse for his absences so Yuzu doesn't get scared and cry.

NO ONE SHOULD MAKE THEIR SISTERS CRY no.
