GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Aug 7, 2008

I'm bored, I'm impatient, and I really should be sleeping now, but I'm not.

Bleeeeeeeh. That's how I feel.

I was going to go to bed 2 hours ago, but instead I decided to waste my time looking for the new Bleach movie's trailer. There are screenshots of the trailer, but a video hasn't been uploaded yet. And I want it!

I know as soon as I see the trailer, I'll just want another one. Then I'll be waiting oh so impatiently for the opening and ending of the anime episodes to feature clips and then I'll still want more. I can't be satisfied. I thirst for IchiRuki fanservice. Wow, I feel like a zombie/vampire. *wipes drool*

Besides the missing trailer, the other thing that randomly irked me today happened when I was cruising around the BA forum and I noticed a user who used to a crazy IchiRuki shipper suddenly become a crazy IchiHime shipper. (and I mean crazy, like shouting "VICTORY is the IchiHime nation!"...okay, not that crazy, but you get my gist, they're very gung-ho)

And I just wonder how stuff like that happens. *ponders* I mean, this person used to/still does write very involved IchiRuki fanfic and then they decided to switch teams? What happened to loyalty? *uh Lindsay, it's just a pairing in a manga...* Shut up me! I unreasonalby feel betrayed by someone I've never met! Let me vent!

It wouldn't bother me if it was just a casual reader who didn't care either way or a reader who was often distracted by shiny objects. I'm a fan of shiny objects myself. But I don't understand going out of your way to ship a pairing (cause shipping wars seriously scare the poop out of me, you have no idea how many times I edited this post so I wouldn't offend anyone ) joining a forum, dedicating time to declare your love for your pairing and then just throw it all away to bat for the other team with just as much gusto.

I suppose everyone ships for different reasons. Some ship because they love a character, some because they think a pairing is mostly to happen, some just to piss off everyone else (hehe) and I know everyone has the right to change their minds. But I generally prefer it when people change their mind and agree with me, not the other way around.

I honestly don't care who/what people ship as long as they're not jerks about it. Or as long as they're entertaining. Because then even if they're insulting me, I can get a giggle out of it.

Bleh. This just proves my point. See how much time I'm wasting thinking about imaginary couples in love? I'd feel like such an idiot if I read the next Bleach chapter and realized... "Oh...yeah, Ichigo and Orihime really do work." Man, I'd be seriously peeved....wow, I really hope that doesn't happen...Eh, I'll just live in denial, it'll be easier.

I admit that after reading the manga (I started on the anime) I became aware of why people liked the IchiHime pairing so much. The anime pretty much ignored Orihime until her role in HM came up, not to mention they portrayed her as being afraid of Ichigo in the beginning instead of loving his funny faces in the manga. (Ah Orihime before she got all emo-fied. I miss her!)

But it'll take a lot more development between her and Ichigo for me to decide that Renji can have Rukia instead of Ichigo.

On a completely different note, I tried some new gum today! *see, this is my love for shiny things that smell fruity* It's that Orbit gum, with the british "Dirty mouth, clean it up!" line. I was in Target and I just had to try the Sangria Fresca, Strawberry Mint, and Maui Melon Mint. That's actually the order in which I enjoy them too. The Sangria reminds me of that Fruit Stripes gum with the zebra and skin staining tattoos. I loved those when I was kid. Although, the flavor literally lasted about 4 chews. Orbit lasts longer! The Strawberry was good, you know...like strawberry. I was deliberately NOT thinking of Ichigo as I chewed, because that would be sad.....Ah, and the Maui Melon was too minty for me. Yes, I'm aware that it's gum and mint was in the name...I'm afraid I'm just complex like that.

And yup, I just wrote a paragraph about gum after whining about something just as stupid and unimportant.

OH! I just remembered. I tried to explain to my mom about Bleach (yeah, that failed) and I showed her the first 3 volumes of the manga with Ichigo, Orihime, and Rukia on the covers. The first words out of her mouth were, "Oh she's cute!" (Orihime) and then "What's wrong with her head?" (Rukia)

Betrayal from my own mother!

Fin.

You can really tell when I'm up too late huh? These blogs get extra random and long. Oh well...I wonder if the trailer's online yet...

Shipping gets nuts, doesn't it? One of my good friends on les forums (KujakuValentine) went from being a staunch IchiHime shipper to an UlquiHime as her OTP (but she was still an IchiHime shipper) to now...UlquiHime and Ichi X who-cares-because-Ichigo-is-dumb shipper. It's interesting to have witnessed this transformation firsthand and feel...well, I don't really feel betrayed, but it's a strange feeling, nonetheless.

Your gum sounds delicious. Can I have some?

Absolutely. I'm getting addicted to this stuff. Like, I can't remember the last meal I had...

KVs funny! I read that and it made me giggle. As stupid as Ichigo is, I really like the fact that he's blind to that kind of stuff. If he were a different kind of guy, Bleach would be a totally different kind of manga.

I'm usually more in favor of IchigoxRukia than IchigoxOrihime, because they are an interesting pair. Plus, I do laugh at the certain moments they had together.

Hope you find the trailer also.
