Sky Castle

Random note: Note to self: Learn how to say 'no'... It can't be that hard, I mean, it's two syllibells, damn it!

Heh, so I'm constantly sniffing and my head feels like it's as stuffed with tissues as my trashcan is, my body feels so tired and weary I've spent the whole day in bed all the while trying to keep my head upright because if I fully lay down my nose will be even fuller, my head hurts because there's to much stuff in it and I when someone called to ask if I'd babysit their kids till half past twelve in the morning I, of course, said yes. Never mind that I have a twelve hour long babysitting gig to look forwarth to tomorrow, or that I'm planning on going to the elf fantasy fair this sunday, I said yes.
Oh, and of course I can say bye bye to my custume... Fairies in too thin white dresses really don't pull off colds all that well *rolls eyes*

Interview meme from gunnlod, if you reply, I'll ask you five quetions wich you have to answer in a LJ entry of your own, and than spread the love to others, of course. Here goes nothing...

1) Let's say you could go back in time and meet your younger self. What year would you return to, and what would you tell your younger self?
Hmmm I'm not quite sure I would want to go back. Sure, I've been trough some pretty rough times, but things came out as they did and I am currently who I am due to that. I'm (mostly) happy to myself so no... I wouldn't go back. And btw, I'd probably not really appreciate becoming who I am now when I was younger. Different dreams and idials and the like you know?

2) If you could live forever, would you?
That's definately a NO (see, I can say no! Whiii~! ^-^~). I couldn't live to see all others around me to die. I'd never concider suiside, but if I die I die, I hope it'll be of old age and while sitting in a chair and having seen my grandchildren grow up to a reasonable age though, I'd like that :)

3) Would you sacrifice 50 IQ points in exchange for ideal and eternal physical beauty? How about 20? 10?
Ahhh No thanks. I have to say a value my own smarts a little too much for that, thank you. Beauty can only get you so far, I like being smart and studying and all that crab.

4) What was your best kiss?
Heh, I'd have to honestly say there are very fiew kisses to choose from *laughs* I've basically only been tongue-tyed with only two guys -_- Yet non of those two is the one. The best kiss is my very first honest to god romantic kiss. And romantic it was. We had been on a date (sort of :P) and he and his parents had braught me home. Our parents had been chatting downstairs while the two of us had been up in my room. Than they had to go and we where standing in front of my house and saying goodbye and he kissed me on my mouth. it was basically very innocent and soft and sweet...

5) Do you believe in the afterlife? If so, how do you imagine it?
Hmmm reincarnation seems the more believeble option to me altough I'm not quite sure wether I actually believe in it or simply think it's a beautiful idea ... As for afterlife, the idea that all souls go to a sertain place to live for ever just doesn't go down with me; I mean, damn the place would be SO over-populated by now, I wouldn't want to go there.


Some notes on characters and characterdynamics within Saiyuki, ripped from my own comments to others.

Gojyo and why he is for Hakkai and not Sanzo
The way Gojyo can be truly devoted to someone he closes into his heart, be they friend, lover or someone he feels needs to be protected or more than one of those, he will never intentionally hurt them, and take any hurt for himself that would be directed at them... And yet he is so vulnerable, once he lets someone in, they can tear him appart with one ill-placed comment. Maybe that's the part of him that speaks to me. A lot of my characters seem to have that aspect in their personalities... That is one of the reasons why I simply can't couple him with Sanzo. It is something that could most definately happen, that's something I won't deny, but Sanzo would, in my mind, unintentionally tear Goyjo appart. I know your Sanzo isn't like that, but Sanzo how I see him, is. Where Hakkai has something to offer back in return to Gojyo's protection and love, someone I'm quite sure both Hakkai and Sanzo desperately need, Hakkai can repay Goyjo with love and a whole different sort of protection and safety. My Sanzo can't offer that. He would be better fitted to Goku, who can withstand the greatest trials by bowing over and than coming back up unscattered. He can deflect Sanzo's insults and bad moods and take them for what they are with all the unabashed honesty and resiliance that our monkey posesses. I think of those four, he is the one best able to truly read people. To see all the little unaware signs for what they are; affection and love.

Goku and why I wrote him as I do
Goku isn't dumb... I think a lot of people underestemate him. He's hyper, kinda obnoxious and has a love for food, but hey, so am I! And all things considered, I don't think I'm that dumb either ;) Also, Gojyo and Goku are, indeed, like brothers. Goku can actually be pretty perceptive (like when he makes them play Mahjong in the Kami-Sama arc and also other little things he does and say in the manga) and he's a total sweetheart. And all things considered; who else would Gojyo convide in? Sanzo? Somehow I don't really think so...

Oh and I'm too lame to mess around with LJ cuts right now so deal with it
