Resist the angst...

[katiefoolery]

Well, two weeks have passed, so it must be time for my update.  I really have to get around to updating more regularly.  And by “regularly” I mean “every couple of days” obviously, rather than “every fortnight”...  Because while that’s regular, it’s not exactly prolific.

Luckily, you were saved from a post of relentless angst by the following characters:

They arrived on my doorstep this morning in a rather innocuous looking parcel.  Said innocuous looking parcel was filled, filled I say, with an absolutely insane amount of wrapping paper.  I was surrounded by the stuff by the time I’d finished unwrapping everything; sitting there, drowning in a sea of green paper.  And the people to blame are the wonderful crazedturkey and flippyfrog.

*hugs them both*

I absolutely love the expressions on their faces.  Ichigo looks quite crazed - not the sort of look you really want to see on someone in charge of a rather large, sharp-edged object.  And Rukia looks a little disgruntled, but I imagine that’s mostly because I put her in between Urahara and Kon.  I don’t know what I was thinking there.

And as an extra bonus, you get to see the top of my amazing-but-only-cost-seven-dollars keyboard (best keyboard ever - I’m never letting it go) and half of Sideshow Bob’s sardonic face.  Also, a manicure kit... because you need one right by the computer, don't you?

So yes - I was going to be angsty today, but I decided to be grateful for the amazing friends I have instead.

Yay! you got it! And aren't you happy I didn't buy that second packet of tissue paper to wrap it all up in? :P

Second packet? Gods, I'd still be unwrapping them now... :P

Thank-you thank-you thank-you! I loves them so much!

*hugs*

I'm glad you got some cheering up in the mail ^_^ *hugs*

That Urahara plushie is priceless!!

Awww...what a fun gift! Yeah Ichigo looks a bit evil :D

But remember...never resist the angst XD Angst is our friend!

It's brilliant! He even has a fan. :D

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

It certainly was a lovely surprise. :D

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Hehe - he looks insane! It's brilliant.

Oh don't worry - I was angsty for a good half of the day until various things and people cheered me up. :D

How marvellous! :)

(Also, it took me ages to find Sideshow Bob - possibly because his face camouflages in with Ichigo's (?) hair. Now that I've found him he is glaringly obvious, of course.)

Hehe - he's even more disgruntled than ever, now that these newcomers are completely blocking him out. :D

Heh, having wasted a week downloading and reading scans of Bleach (baaad karma but so very worth it), I can actually recognise those adorable plushies. I agree with gogochan that the Urahara one is probably my favourite. Just clear up one thing for me please? Did Flit and Turks actually make these or are they available for sale somewhere? Because if so, wooow, I stand in awe of their textile manipulation.

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Huzzah, another Bleach fan! It's definitely worth buying the manga eventually - you get lots of little extras that aren't in the scanlations. :D

No, Flit and Turks didn't make them... but they did wrap them up in lots and lots of tissue paper.

Heh, I think I read the whole Soul Society arch in about two sittings because it's so very addictive. Plus, the drapery of their shinigami robes are so pretty to look at. *bats at prettiness*

... but they did wrap them up in lots and lots of tissue paper.
*snicker* Also an ancient and often undervalued art.

Oh yes - I don't know how I would have coped reading the Soul Society arc week by week. It must have been as frustrating as it is to be reading the current arc, addictive as it is. The chapters are too short! I'll just be getting into one and it'll suddenly stop. I need a bigger fix than that!

Aww they are so wonderful!
I would grin every time I would use the computer. Urahara seems the happiest of them all doesn't he?

I'll have to hunt around for my own Bleach plushies.

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Kon seems pretty happy too - you just can't tell because he's stuck behind Renji. :D They definitely do make me grin when I'm sitting at my computer.
