30 Day Character Meme - Day 26 (Kaleido Star) ... And another meme

26. Character you wouldn’t mind having as your boss



Cathy Taymor

I kind of wish this question asked which character you WOULDN'T want as your boss, 'cause I could probably write a whole essay about how terrible a boss Kalos is. *laughs* But answering the actual question, I guess I'll go with Cathy, the director of Layla's off-Broadway play who ends up following Layla back to Kaleido Stage and becoming Mia's mentor. (Cathy's the one with the magenta hair. That's Mia she's terrifying.) Yeah, Cathy is demanding and kinda scary sometimes, but unlike Kalos, who would rather sit back and let his employees figure things out on their own, Cathy is at least willing to help people to get the results she wants. She actually LEADS.


( Days To Come )

And this little meme has been traveling around my FL lately. This particular version is dark_branwen 's, because I also have too many fandoms to limit the list only to fifteen. I'm also sticking to anime/manga only.

List fifteen twenty-five (I have too many fandoms) of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, if they're so inclined.

(Order is totally random)

1. Shigure Sohma (Fruits Basket)
2. Rue (Princess Tutu)
3. Yuri Killian (Kaleido Star)
4. Helios/Pegasus (Sailor Moon)
5. Yuko Ichihara (xxxHolic/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)
6. Ran Kotobuki (SuperGALS)
7. George (Paradise Kiss)
8. Sora Naegino (Kaleido Star)
9. Gourry Gabriev (Slayers)
10. Yurika Doujima (Witch Hunter Robin)
11. Harima Kenji (School Rumble)
12. Touya Kinomoto (Card Captor Sakura)
13. Haruka Shitow (Rah-Xephon)
14. Touta Matsuda (Death Note)
15. Tooya (Ayashi no Ceres)
16. Nicholas D. Wolfwood (Trigun)
17. Hotohori (Fushigi Yugi)
18. Sagara Sousuke (from Full Metal Panic)
19. Sailor Pluto (Sailor Moon)
20. Balsa (Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit)
21. William Jones (Emma)
22. Yasushi (Yasu) Takagi (NANA)
23. Kyoya Ootori (Ouran High School Host Club)
24. Tazusa Sakurano (Ginban Kaleidoscope)
25. Junko Saotome (NANA)

Argh, it was hard to narrow it down to even twenty-five! I almost decided to do thirty so I could list Light (Death Note), Kaho Mizuki (CCS), Takumi Ichinose (NANA), Hatori Sohma (Fruits Basket), and Michiru Kaioh (Sailor Moon), but all those fandoms were already represented at least once on the list... Well, I guess I ended up listing them anyway, didn't I? *laughs* Just not officially.

Anyone see any patterns?

I've been a bad Sim-Mommy!

For the first time since I started playing Sims 2 about two years ago, the social worker came and took all three of the children of one of my couples. I'm still kind of in shock about it. All the couple did was leave their children home alone for a couple of hours after school, something I have my sims do all the time. Usually I just get a warning! And to make it extra cruel, all three were set to age up into teenagers in just a few hours. I thought about just closing out without saving, but I had been playing for about three hours up to that point and hadn't saved once, so I wasn't looking forward to the idea of replaying their entire childhoods again.

On the fortunate side, I did have one of my nice elder couples who were about to experience Empty Nest Syndrome adopt all three of them, so it's not like they were lost forever. And they kept all their skill points and relationship points! Yay! Of course, adopting them set them back in age to the beginning of childhood, which is annoying, but I suppose I can just use a cheat to age them up to teenagers like they should be.

Man, I can't believe this happened. From now on, I'm making sure to have someone available to babysit when I know the parents won't be home by the time the kids arrive home from school!
