sing me something soft, sad, and delicate

I'd warn for spoilers, but let's face it: I'm probably doing you a favor by spoiling this series for you if you're lucky enough to NOT have wasted your time reading this manga.

( Day 27 - A pairing that you loved and ended up hating? [Everything will be all right... if by "all right" you mean "I'm my own father"] )

This answer is more wank-free than I thought it would be! Probably because I'm not repeating fandoms. *yawn* The pairings I like usually tend to be the ones no one "understands" anyway.

( Day 21 - A pairing you like and no one else understands why? [Pleased to meet you.] )

Oh, and if I were to repeat fandoms: jiji-mago and/or supersize-conbi, Franky/Robin, KoiMiku, and Kurogane/Tomoyo would probably count as "ships that no one understands". Just sayin'.

I went to the optometrist today and dropped $275 for new glasses. They're not even designer frames, transition lenses, bifocals, or anything fancy like that! (They're high-index lenses, because I'm blind as a bat and they'd be really thick otherwise.) I wear contacts!!  In any case, that was money from my "I Deserve A Sick New Phone" Fund and my 両手に大尉大作戦基金, so it looks like I'll be putting off both until August. :/

Meme:
( Day 17 - A pairing you thought would never work out, but did? [putting less and less effort into this meme] )

Is anyone else ridiculously happy with the last couple of chapters of One Piece? Oda-sensei, never leave me.

Has anyone read the web-doujinshi "Niji"? The one where Kyon and Koizumi have a boxing match in front of the entire school with the prize being (IIRC) a kiss from Haruhi? I want to fangirl about this with someone... anyone... *crickets chirp* ._.

MOVING ON:
Event-planning wise, this probably wasn't the most awesome sauce wedding out there, but it made for a satisfying conclusion to a series I'd been following for a while and it was the first wedding scene I thought of when I saw the question, so yeah.

( Day 12 - Who had the best wedding? [if the title didn't give it away, nothing will] )

NYT article about the circle lens fad.

Putting aside my "lolwhut" reaction to the ladies they interviewed for the article (from the girls that swore by circle lenses to the FDA representative that had no clue what they were)... Big eyes ain't all they cracked up to be, aiight?! One of my classmates in elementary school told me, "You're not really Asian, your eyes are too big!" which made me cry and has given me an eye-complex ever since. (I was in first grade, okay?)

So whenever I hear about people wanting doe-eyes, I just kind of go DDDDD: BE PREPARED TO BE CARDED AT THE AGE OF 40 at them.

Although those purple ones are pretty awesome, ngl.

Meme:
Looking back on it, I could have chosen a SuperUltimate!OTP for this day, but since I already found the graphic for this pairing I'll talk about them instead. (That particular SU!OTP doesn't really fit any of the days in this meme anyway. It defies things like mere memes with its badassery; let's just leave it at that.)

( Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene? )

Tomorrow's choice should be ridiculously obvious, btw. Just saying.

EDIT:  Happy Independence Day to both my birth country and the country of my ancestors ^_~

Have Day 03 and Day 04 in one post.  Also, excuse the lack of witty text - I'm about ready to pass out now, kthx.
