Are there any YA novels in which the heroine falls for the hilarious best friend type (like Puck's personality in The Iron Fey series) of character? I'm getting a little tired of the "bad boy" routes. X)

How does one say "Black cats bring good luck" in Japanese?

I just finished watching Pandora Hearts and is in the mood for some darker/horror/sinister type animes..

Animes I've already watched/know about are:

-Another

-Blood+

-Ghost Hunt

-Black Butler

-Higurashi

-Hell Girl

Any suggestions? :3

I currently have a 10.5.8. macbook and would like to upgrade the software, but the only snow leopard available is on amazon for $120. I'm wondering whether it'll work for my mac (it's a core 2 duo). Any ideas?

I've had this anime idea in my head for a while, and it's been bugging me with the whole arranged-marriage-is-way-too-cliche thing.. I'll post the main outline of the plot below and can you guys give me some feedback? It'll be much appreciated! :3

Here's the gist of the plot:

There are four "Season families" (their last names are related to the seasons) and they are the most powerful families in the country. However, these families have been having...difficulties with each other, so the Spring and Winter families decided to form an alliance by having the Spring family's youngest daughter marry the Winter family's son. Not to mention their daughter is a tsundere who hates being in such a rich family. But that's not all!

The families live rather far from each other, and there are demons and other monsters all over the place. And because the families are the most powerful, the Spring family hired a group of (gasp) skilled guys/warriors to protect their daughter from demons en route to the Winter family's territory. However, on the way, the daughter slowly begins to fall in love with one of her protectors (with all the tsundereness involved, of course)...

Is the plot too cliche? If it is, is there any way to fix it to make it better? X3 Any suggestions?

It's the girl with the sword in this picture: http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/userimages/12927... (the third girl from left to right in the second row). Does anyone know who she is and what anime she's from? Thanks!

I absolutely love the Genbu Kaiden manga. A lot more than the original Fushigi Yuugi. I know the manga's still ongoing, but I suspect that it'll be over soon (Takiko's finally gathered all the warriors!). It would be amazing if there will be an anime adaptation... I mean, they made a Fushigi Yuugi anime, so why not animate Genbu Kaiden too? What do you think?

My ipod touch 3rd gen has been typing on its own.. and I tried restoring the ipod (it's been updated to the newest version too) but it doesn't work. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Is there a chance of them meeting in the Bleach manga? As of chapter 460, I think there is a chance.. but that's just me. (Episode 316 of the anime was awesomeness too.)

It's the middle of september already... and if they still don't send out the emails, I don't see the point of early registration if you get the email on sept 30. What's really bothering me is that they seem to send out the emails kind of based on which day you signed up. And for the last few days the blog hasn't been updated, so I don't know if they've been sending out more emails since sept 8.

But anyway, has anyone gotten in yet? From day 6?

From the Kane Chronicles. And how about Sadie and Walt? I honestly like Sanubis (that's what most people call the pairing) more... But what are your guys' opinions? Hopefully the last book will be super awesome. one more year... T_T

it starts at 3:48: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niyty5CNCTY

also, it was played in episode 86 as well. I've been trying to find it but it doesn't seem to be in any of the osts...

I made it up for school, but I'm not sure if it's the correct format... so any suggestions/ideas would be helpful. Thanks!!

There was a wonderfully done painting

Which when people looked at felt like fainting

But who wouldn’t know

It was by Van Gough

Indeed, his masterpieces are quite amazing

I really like Aika Yoshioka's songs for Hakuouki

and Nana Kitade and Ayumi Hamasaki...

I've already read:

Harry Potter

Percy Jackson

The Hunger Games

Twilight

Warriors

so something similar? Thanks!

What are the chances (in your opinion) of Stephen and Keiko getting back together again? I'm writing a post-story project for school, and I would like some opinions! So thanks to anyone who tells me! :)

well, I'm trying to find a song for my user page, though every time I post in one of the codes it doesn't work! does anyone know how to fix this? I'm looking for Grip! by Every Little Thing by the way, so if anyone can help that would be great! :D

like an Asian shop, maybe?

I did one of the litmus tests, and the result was 19. But, I want to know what others thought, maybe that's why I haven't gotten so many reviews for the fanfic? Here are the details:

Name: Serena

Age: 15 (a few months younger than Ed)

Height: About the same as Ed, perhaps a centimeter shorter

Notable traits: Automail left arm due to Human Transmutation

State Alchemist title: Ice Alchemist (freezes water particles in air to form ice for attacks)

Parents: Charlotte (another OC of mine) and Tim Marcoh; Envy and Lily (another OC)

Reason: Charlotte and Marcoh's daughter died at birth, so he preformed "Soul Fusion" using the Philosopher's Stone to fuse his daughter's and Envy's daughter's soul together. She is a "Demi-Homonculus" as a result. Raised by Marcoh and Charlotte until he leaves for the Ishvalan Civil War.

If she is, how can I make adjustments to prevent her from being too Mary Sue? Thanks :) I don't mind too much flames, just this time...

And I know the whole half-Homunculus thing might be more mary-sue ish but that's why I got 19 on the test...

Well, I'm writing a Fullmetal Alchemist fanfic (rewrite of another of my stories), and i've gotten like 2 people adding it to favorites and stuff..but there's almost no one reviewing it. Would anyone like to give me some ideas/suggestions? it would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
