An Ichigo/Orihime Defense

On a related note: libekory wrote a rant that, although it was intended to dissect Ichigo/Rukia arguments, reminded me of all the reasons why I think Ichigo/Orihime is africkingdorable and can totally work.

"Sorry, I'm not allowed to get hurt anymore." Eee.

Last post, I promise (probably)

I spent all morning talking about Ichigo/Orihime, and then I go and post a Chad/Orihime fic at bleach_het. Some might say that I am doing it wrong. I think that I'm one of the few people doing it right.

"Come Back" by Echo Image reminds me of Lavi and Allen's fight. I have not dorked out this much over a slash pairing in quite a while; I almost exclusively ship het in Bleach, and there are definitely some slash pairings in Tales of the Abyss that catch my attention, but I can't talk because I made Asch into a girl, orz.

But Lavi/Allen has just the right amount of "We're really close friends who touch and hug and watch out for and desperately need each other" mixed with "There are ticking timebomb issues that mean that someday our relationship is going to explode." A+

Letting your emotions out is for losers

See, this is the kind of my person I am: I spend thirty seconds sobbing, hating my life, hating my luck, hating everything, and then I tell myself that I am going to stop and I do. All better.

Well, I still hate everything, but I'm not crying anymore.

On a related note, I recently purchased a new desktop computer and a new soundcard to use on it. When it arrived, I attempted to install the soundcard and it did not work. So I attempted to install my wireless card, and it did not work. After speaking with tech support, we concluded that it was a motherboard issue, and they sent me a new desktop.

The new desktop arrived. The soundcard and the wireless card just will not work. Either I don't know how to install hardware, or I have the worst fucking luck. And either way, I have to just return everything and ask them to give me my money back.

I'm so bitter and angry and hateful right now. Why can't I have nice things?
