My brother just got suspended on his last day of school before break. Why? Because he said "Screw you" to his teacher. This was a result of my brother leaning back in his chair, falling, bumping his head, and then asking to go to the nurse. Mind you, my brother was out of school for two days last week sick and has been trying to go to the nurse practically everyday this week. He missed several classes in his attempts. Of course, the teacher told my brother no and my brother basically exploded. After realizing he had crossed the line, my brother proceeded to write the teacher a sorry note. I should add my brother is in eighth grade. Right now, he'd hiding in his room, hating himself and being deeply depressed. I think my Dad might finally believe my brother needs medication this time. He might also accept the fact that my brother just could have a learning disability since, up to this point, he's chalked my brother's shoddy academics up to sheer laziness. We are currently trying to settle on an appropriate punishment. Neither of us has any idea what to do. It's extremely depressing. And I had to go make things worse by yelling at him because I had no idea how to take that information at the time.

In other news, I haven't watched Days of our Lives in several months, maybe a year. quebelly was watching it today and I saw Bo singing Christmas carols with Santa Claus. Yes, the Santa Claus. Now I remember why I stopped watching day-time soaps. -_-

Please please please don't kill them

I don't feel like breaking out my review journal again just yet so I shall gush here. I've been trying to catch up with Gundam Seed Destiny and damn...sometimes I can't believe how much it gets to me.

Yeah yeah spoilers but since almost everyone on my friends list who actually watches GSeed Destiny is further than me, I don't think I have much of a chance of spoiling anyone.

I was close to tears in episode 7. It affected me like no other fictional global disaster scene ever has. I blame Lacus and her hauntingly beautiful and agonizingly depressing song. Still love her though. Hell, I can barely focus on the Asuran/Shinn or Asuran/Kira bonding because I am friggin' terrified about what's going to happen on the show. I think I'm about as scared of war as the actual characters. I attribute some of this to my general paranoia about the state of the real world but the rest of it is just because of how shocking the series is. Some say Destiny is too shocking and that it employs the most graphic and tear-jerking events and situations just to gain sympathy. Well, usually when something's too much, it doesn't affect me at all and this has me emphathizing with practically every character, regardless of whether I know or care about them, 100%.

And then there's Asuran/Cagalli. I don't think I have ever squealed louder about a couple in my life...honestly, ever. The squeal I gave during the ring scene trumped every single of of my Gravitation squees, my Digimon squees, and even my super-hard-to-top Buffy/Spike squees. And then they kissed and I was nearly falling off my chair. And the blushing and the stuttering and Asuran trying to be cool about the whole thing. It was just so AWWWW.

Then, I cried. Because I know THEY ARE GOING TO FIND A WAY TO KILL EITHER ASURAN AND CAGALLI NOW. I just know it. Couples never last long when they take this step this early in a series. Episode 8? My most beloved het pairing ever (yes, I'm sorry Sorashi has been dethroned in my heart) has NO chance. ;_; I just don't know how to take it at all. Stupid anime.

I guess I might try to make animated icons of the scene and maybe some stills of Asuran/Kira later. Yes, I can still fangirl about my boys while worshipping the sheer snuggleorgy that is Asuran/Cagalli. I'm schizo!
