G-defend manga

[maderr]

Bought volumes 2 & 3 off a woman on ebay...and when I got them they turned out to be in Chinese. Which is useless to me. Does anyone want them or know someone that would be interested? I won't even charge for them, I just hate for them to go to waste sitting here when someone else might actually be able to read them.

In related news, somebody tell me that my depression will not go away if I buy G-Defend in Japanese. I'm *this* close to buying some of that and more of Bohra Naono's work on JPQueen or some such.

Oh! Speaking of things I want but shouldn't (and these, won't) buy, I am muchly in love with this and this.

Sorry, but the opening is too much to pass up...

According to scientists, semen acts as an anti-depressant

From the article: "The study, which is bound to provoke controversy, showed that the women who were directly exposed to semen were less depressed. The researchers think this is because mood-altering hormones in semen are absorbed through the vagina. They say they have ruled out other explanations."

I've seen those I <3 Yaoi bagsa before and I kind of wanted one but I am afraid of people knowing what yaoi is and thinking I am a pervert <.< especially here.

But those Hellsing bags are cool, too 0.o

That's my only hangup with the yaoi bag - do I really want to explain what it is to everyone in the office that asks? No.

I may get the hellsing one someday. I have one already, but I *really* like the one with the pentacle.

Lol!

Dude, I set that up rather neatly. That is priceless.

But I'm not *that* depressed quite yet.

You know... the last time you made mention/notice of this bag, I recall you be revolted by the mere sight of it. Is there an explanation for the reversal. Because I'm telling you, there's been one.

There's gonna be ice on the sidewalks tomorrow. Am not happy.

You don't need them

TRust me on this dweeb you don't need them. But then again I didn't need the alton brown measuring cups but I bought them. Go ahead and get them. You only live once. have some fun. And the Jap anime sounds as though it could use a good home.

But if you ever do become *that* depressed, call me before killing yourself. Gotta give me that chance to help! ^_^

Also, did you see that last post I made in my LJ?

Heh. I will probably get the manga after I'm done with all this freakin' over time. A sort of "good girl, you didn't kill anyone" present.

You're on crack. I distinctly remember loving the bag the first time I saw it. I said "I want this" and you said "is that a hint?" because it was right around my birthday.

If you're doing the overtime, then you oughta give yourself some kind of pat on the back. (I mean, there has to be some kind of pay off for all the frustration pain and suffering.)

As for people asking about yaoi. You could always lie and tell them that it's Japanese for chocolate and that if they want to sound sophisticated they should all go out and profess to the world at large how much they love yaoi. ;3

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

No. You abhored it. Because I hated it, and I said there was no way in hell you'd be getting it from me. And you said that was a good thing.

(I might be paraphrasing a bit here, but I know you didn't like it.)

Re: You don't need them

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

Damnit. You just completely fucked my birthday present for you. Thanks for ruining it...

[maderr.livejournal.com]

I'm telling you I DID. You must be confusing it with something else. *ponders*

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'm telling you, you didn't like it...

[abiona-sashenka.livejournal.com]

The I <3 Yaoi bag is a laugh and a half... love it.

By the way... most of the girls here who would be into yaoi had never heard the term before (O_o).... could you remind me what it stands for again, oh person who wrote her thesis on it?

[kiyoshi-chan.livejournal.com]

Pity I have G-D already... I could translate it for you if you want? I mean, I have them in Chinese too, so even though I can't do scanlations I can more or less tell you what's happening. O_o;

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Hey, that'd work. Would save me having to buy them all over again.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

'Yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi' roughly translated as "No climax, no point, no meaning"

But it's an outdated term. We use it here, in Japan they tend to call it Boys Love, or BL.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

DUDE.

I totally don't remember that.

Re: You don't need them

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Hee. Don't encourage my bad spending habits. But yeah, I think after this is finally all over sasuga is getting a nice bit of my paycheck.

You could always lie and tell them that it's Japanese for chocolate and that if they want to sound sophisticated they should all go out and profess to the world at large how much they love yaoi. ;3

*dies*

[abiona-sashenka.livejournal.com]

Ah, thanks muchly. I seemed to remember you saying it was an outdated term in Japan, but the girls I have discussed it with are American, so I thought they may know, but *shock* they did not! I will spread the BL now. :-D

[kiyoshi-chan.livejournal.com]

Can do. I'll start doing it as soon as Meia returns it to me. =_=;;; (She borrowed volume 1 to 20. All at once, too.)
