I am doing better today! A little. Still exhausting to work seven classes with no break longer than 15 minutes... But I came home and found new One Piece, and I was too exhilarated to focus on sleep or... I am mostly fine (but exhausted), and One Piece makes me squeak like a giant rubber ducky or. Something. (Fangirls hearts: Oda's chew toys!) Possible coherent post to follow tomorrow, which is Friday yay~

It just keeps getting better . OH MY GOD THIS CHAPTER SLAYED ME. IT'S. IT'S. OMG SO GOOD SO GOOD I LOVE ODACCHI FLASHBACKS!!!!!!! And AWWWWWWWWW ACE you found the most adorable new family EVER...But it makes me happy that we got this much, at least! And Ace met Shanks!! An age-old mystery solved!!!) Don't die. Nobody is allowed to die. NEXT CHAPTER; I WANT IT LIKE BURNING OH OH GIMME

One Piece folk - you guys, you guys ! Have you seen the official web page for the next One Piece movie? Have you ? If the answer is "no?", then [ go here ]. Go. Now. I'll be here when you get back...PIECE MOVIE. DECEMBER 19 - JUMP FESTA, BABY . I WILL BE THERE. And I'll bring all the sparkles I've saved up during one year of KICKASS STORY, and unleash them all on Odacchi and his seiyuu posse!

I'm growing more and more convinced that One Piece's Eiichirou Oda isn't just telling a story. (Not even when that story is one of the best and most engaging every created!) Oda is changing the world...can carry them far away from you without dimming your love for them - who slip right into place in your life once you finally meet again. That's what family is about. Not about blood. It's about love.
