... get before seeing her. He likes the feeling even if he isn't sure he likes what it means. He's surprised when he does see her coming around the corner, rushing to him and waving spiritedly. He waves back more sedately, taking in her appearance and walking towards her at a less impatient pace. He recognizes Inuki immediately. A puppy, true, but there is no mistaking the inugami hovering around ...

... shrieking, but it was far, far better than that human drivel he was being subjected to before. So instead of moping around like the rest of you mud-crawling fleshlings, he's walking spiritedly down the street, humming along to the operatic rapping and snickering to himself at everyone getting chained together. Fools. The cause for this was ever-so-obvious, but they fell straight into the trap ...

(Crossover) Fandom: Gokusen 3/ROOKIES, Ren-Yamato Gen/Friendship

...Yamato thought they heard the name ‘Kei-chan’ being muttered. “Come on. We’ll walk you to school.” “You don’t have to,” said Goldilocks. “We’ve already done so much.” “Nonsense,” said Ren spiritedly. “We’re just your regular, hometown helpers. Always ready to lend a helping hand!” Yamato half-expected a loud guffaw at the end of the sentence; Ren’s arms on his hips and his chest puffed,...

... nothing of the sort happened. They continued playing. The sea creature petting the cat, holding it to her naked chest in a cradle, smiling down at Snowy, the cat’s paws clawing up at air spiritedly. The sea-maiden, what the Fisherman decided to call her, cooed at the cat. She made strange croaking sounds that sounded a lot like a light version of a dolphins call. The Fisherman couldn’t place ...

Not a Moment Too Soon (9/12)

..., two lunches, and one room for Igor and Mikhail?" "One room? I didn't think they were together like that?" "They aren't." Andy shrugged and glanced over to the table where Mikhail was talking spiritedly while Igor just watched him. "But, Mischa's finally going to say something about his feelings." "Good for him. I hope it works out for the two of them." "And how's Joachim doing with ...

... emerged and said “Would you mind just keeping anyone out while I wash my skirt?”, another memorable phrase from this excursion. She re-emerged a few minutes later quite pleased with herself, until I mean spiritedly pointed out the mud plastered in her hair. Nonetheless we were looking almost decent as we started off on the road back to the hotel, which was a good thing because at this point we ...

I refused to engage myself in the couple dance because I wasn't comfortable being around a guy, what more to hold his hands. Rather unexpectedly, a young man offered me his hand.

Nine Inch Nails CD Release Party this Sunday!

... couldn't? Nothing short of America's President, "Premier Bush" as Borat would say. Reznor is mad as hell and on Year Zero he proves that even the most unlikely artists can tackle politics as spiritedly as any folkie.
