or my excuses for why I haven't answered your email or comment on your post or reply to your reply or in a timely manner # 43069587216859

*pets* I totally understand. Every other of my posts or replies here are prefaced with "Argh I'm sooooo behind with LJ!!!!!!!111"...

*slaps self* I'd forgotten you were due for a new niece, until you mentioned it last week.
...Really? A baby that doesn't like you? That's unusual! o.o;
As for your other nieces, as usual I loved the knitting pictures (you big bunch of knitting-crazed insane people! *lol* *huggles*). Hope they had a great birthday and I'm sure you will spoil them rotten the next time you see them. *g*

I've really enjoyed reading all your posts about the HK movies, even though I've not seen any of them. Especially: Anita Mui as the skirt chasing highly incompetent very male Emperor Qi. YES PLEASE. *g* I like my boys to be girls (which is why I like Ouran Host Club and HanaKimi). ;D

...oh, and the lobster pic still cracks me up. XD I should work that up into a t-shirt logo or something. <3

*squishyou* I totally agree with your previous sentiment that we need to find a job tha pays us to be online all day.

The baby likes me now! Just had to get used to me (and apparently needed to scream her lungs out until she did.) ^___^ The birthday for the other nieces went very well, and glad to hear you’re not sick of the knitting pictures yet. That’s very good because there’s more coming.

Awwww, thanks! Between you and the very awesome enyka, I don’t feel so bad about posting so much about them.

LOL. You really should watch Wu Yen then. I think out of all the Hong Kong movies I’ve seen recently, Wu Yen and Peking Opera Blues would be the ones I would recommend for you to watch, especially Wu Yen. Anita Mui is bloody brilliant as the male emperor.

...oh, an) d the lobster pic still cracks me up. XD I should work that up into a t-shirt logo or something. <3

Hee hee hee. It’s so true, you pwn lobsters, even a giant lobster so cunningly drawn on PAINT (it turned out so much better than I had hoped it would XD). I can’t say for many people. Giant lobsters are the epitome of coolbeans.

And now for the very belated reply to your wonderful comment on Donna.

Her longing for something more in her life is usually the sort of storyline that's given to 13-year-olds (I'm thinking of all those "coming of age" movies)...but searching for meaning isn't something that stops after the teenage years.

You said in one sentence everything I was trying to express in several paragraphs that I wrote in three bus rides home. The “coming of age” phrasing hits the nail on the head. I actually said, “OH!” when I read that because it’s EXACTLY what I trying to get at *bows at your greatness* Donna’s story is a coming of age story, and we don’t get those for people over 25, especially ones as well told as hers. I love that she’s coming of age, but she’s still very *adult*.

Heck, going by TV you get to 25 and then your life is all set - degree, car, house, marriage, kids, etc. This goes on until you hit 50, suddenly realise your grown-up kids don't understand you, you're in a rut with your job, etc, and buy a bright red convertible sports car to feel better (or something).

So true. And I think I’m going to decide to not let TV and other forms of media dictate where I should be at certain points in my life. That’s a pretty restrictive and depressing timeline to base my life on.

Thankfully I've noticed at work that most libraries are getting into the whole "learning is for life" deal. GO, LIBRARIES, GO! \o/

LOL! LIBRARIES ROCK! Especially when they have Hong Kong movies and Doctor who boxsets ^____^

Heck, I didn't learn how to use the internet until I was 24, and I sure hope there will be other major discoveries for me next year when I'm 34, and again at 44, and for many years to come. I don't want to stagnate or stay in the same job for life. I fully plan on going to university before I'm 40, and do a totally different major than I've ever done (which means art & film are out! *lol* Must do something NEW).

Good for you, Ammie! I’m glad you’re still planning to learn and do different things and go to university *throws sparkles for you* I had a bunch of goals, but I think the one I’m going to concentrate on right now is learning Chinese and learning more about Asian history (so stereotypical for an Asian girl coming to terms with her cultural heritage, but meh, whatever. Hong Kong movies are full of lesbians :D)

Just wanted to add that I feel so lucky knowing someone like you, someone who’s mature and responsible and working (too many hours; the only thing I really miss about school is being able to skip classes and waste time online *g*), but who’s also still learning and asking questions and exploring new things.

Um...in conclusion, Donna works well in DW, a show where the main character is an itinerant Peter Pan traveler who never stays in one place and never grows up.

LOL. Yes, indeed. The doctor is the ultimate Peter Pan figure in modern fantasy, and it works surprisingly well with Donna’s story as the older coming-of-ager. She has the maturity and “adult authority” to make him face things he doesn’t want to face and question him constantly, while still being able to enjoy the travelling and mystery-solving, perhaps even more so than the younger set (I love Donna’s glee in everything.) They're awesome together.
