My old friend called me today and asked me if I wanted to accompany her to the dog park so she could exercise her 2 dogs. I agreed right away. I was really excited, because I was really bored and relieved that she still wanted to be my friend after all. We stood around at the park and let her dogs play a bit, but heavy rain sent us running for the car. As we were running to the car, I couldn't help but laugh and smile. I tried to contain my laughter, but I just couldn't. I felt like a kid again - playing out in the rain. I must've had the biggest fucking grin on my face that anyone has ever seen. Luckily, she didn't seem to notice. She had later plans to have lunch with her boyfriend so I only got to see her for about 45 minutes, but it was a lot of fun and cured my boredom. I guess maybe we will stay friends.
On another note, I'm still searching for a decent anime to watch or manga to read. I've gone through list after list of suggestions that people made, but I haven't found one that seems interesting enough. Death Note was my first anime and manga and a lot of people say that Death Note brought hope back into their eyes for anime and manga. So... I guess, I have Death Note on a pretty high pedestal. There are just certain qualities about it that I like and haven't found in a lot of others. Things like...
1.) How the characters look like people and not like the typical anime style
2.) An intelligent plot
3.) Something besides fucking ninjas, robots, or samurai
4.) More guy characters than girl characters
I don't know... I'm probably being too picky. Plus, I'm still a bit obsessed over the whole LxLight thing... really obsessed. And I'm getting more obsessed over MelloxNear. Jeez... I need help. :P
(Actually, I take it back what I said about Death Note being my first manga. My first manga was .hack, but I didn't really enjoy it too much. I think I only read half of the first volume before I gave up on it.)
