On the upswing

1.14L vodka: acquired! There are also clamato and white vermouth.

Amazon Japan shipment: came! This is the one that was supposed to be unreasonably delayed, I'm glad it's not.

• Crimson Spell 1
• Finder no Sekiyoku
• Shin Petshop of Horrors 2
• GetBackers 32
• Harem de Hitori (a collection of oneiric, bittersweet fairy tales by Hoshino Lily - if like me you secretly think the best stories in that catboy manga were the non-explicit "Polynesian" ones at the end, you'll probably want to get this.)

The theme of this shipment is clearly FLASHBACK TO THE SEVENTIES. It's not so bad when Yamane Ayano does it, but Akino Matsuri OMIGAWD THE HAIR I am traumatized.

I'll probably read Crimson Spell tonight. Spotted extra pages, maybe the story will finally make sense.

My mother just found a white hair on my head, haha. I'd been wondering when they'd start. My sister who's still in her teens has been getting them for years!

Argh! Woman, I'd have given you my copy of Harem de Hitori, I have no use for it.

...Shin Petshop of Horrors? (Why do I feel I already knew about this and forgot?)

[petronia.livejournal.com]

XD XD Well, it's no use if you don't tell me the list of what you'd like to get rid of in advance! I guess I never announce what books I'm planning to buy, if only because the majority are impulse purchases without any planning involved.

Could be? XD I know I talked about it when the first volume came out. There are even scanlations, though I can't remember at the moment what group is doing them.

Ancient....ancient!!!...

*thinks about your age*

Oh wait ^^;;;
[in fairness, I do have several gray hairs myself...but they aren't super obvious]

I had more grey hairs when I was five than I do now.

Such a shame, too. I was proud of them, damn it! They proved that I was once brave enough to give myself head injuries practicing stunts on the stairs. XD

I've been finding white hairs (and mutant zebra hairs that go white-black or vice versa as well) in my hair since my early teens. I was traumatized when I first discovered them and still am to a lesser degree, except I find some sort of twisted delight in searching them out.

I'm still wondering why some Asians in their teens get white hairs. Is it a result and directly proportional to the amount of stress we deal with, which seems to be in the case of a friend of mine (as possibly me as well).

I spose I should make a list of unwanteds, except if I do that I'll be tempted to stick price tags on.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Well, I was going to say that if it turned out to be more than one book, say, then I'd buy them off you. ^^

[petronia.livejournal.com]

In the case of my sister I can well believe it's stress. ^^; Genetics are probably also at work - both my parents have had white hairs for as long as I can remember. But it seems to go to salt-and-pepper and stay there.

Night Exile (http://nightexile.cjb.net/) does.
