Notes: Written for tea_and_toast. It's 99 words, not 100. However this is my journal and not a drabble comm so I don't suppose I can really get flamed here for being a word short.

He resented that she wore so much clothing. Not that he didn't fetishize the small amount of flesh he could see; the arm warmers were particularly fetching as they framed her upper arm and shoulder, so. But talking to her about the book she was reading, or hearing one of those sly comments sure to infuriate the boys, made it nearly impossible to reassure himself that Hanajima was just another object of his schoolgirl lust.

Then again, he had become a master at self-deception over the years. The great novelist Shigure would not back down from such a challenge!

You know, I used to joke I'd sell the rights to my story to 'All My Children' one day, I think instead I will now consider having it illustrated or animated. SO vast the options. ^_^

I think she's the only anime blonde I've ever liked and partly because it's so blatantly dyed. There is not enough love in all the world for Hana-can & Uo-chan, seriously-seriously.

Is it dyed? Because there are so many manga characters that don't have black hair and I never know what they're trying to say with that. I love them both dearly. Emily was saying just yesterday that she doesn't like plots where the romantic heroine wanders off after the hero and it's presumed that she wasn't really abandoning anything as she had no friends. I love that Tohru has friends who are looking after her and who also knew her mother. She lives with all those men so it's good for her to have real girlfriends. I also love that they're such misfits. I'm way down with the misfit love, clearly.

Dude, if you actually illustrated your story, you would win the Pulitzer and the National Book Award and like 27 million other things because it would be amazing. You just won't be able to do it until you're like, 50, I reckon. Perspective and all that, yeah?
