Oh my god! Same with me and Lee! It's such an undiscovered anime and its so GOOD. It's a mystery to me why it doesn't have the popularity it should.

Cast is over 50% women? Check. They don't talk about dating men? Check. Great fighting sequences? Check. Probable lesbian relationship? Check. Super Powers? Fucking check.

oh my gosh, so my internet buddies (who happen to also be buddies, but in the real life and internet form) tyler and cat have both tagged me in this weird q+a thingy. not one to shy away from queries (this is the closest i get to being like an episode of inside the actor's studio), here are my attempts. the rules of the tagging thingy are:

Tag Game

Rule 1: Always post the rules  Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones.  Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post.  Rule 4: Actually tell people you’ve tagged them

if you're reading this jess and erica and thomas and joseph and julia and blaise and nicole and madeline and zoe and agnes then you know you're tagged. special shoutouts to tyler and cat, duh.

So, since tyler tagged me first, here are her questions:

1. What was your first screen name? i had several, and they were ALL terrible! a) ankharah: from my goth/faux egyptian worship phase

b) eclectic_sparkle: from my days of being super into spike jonze music videos (i'm so old)

c) eclectic_daisy: because i was a super eclectic 14 year old, and daisies are my favorite flower.

d) gutter_glitter: see goth phase

3) puella_absurd: because being a super "eclectic" 15 year old that took latin meant coming up with a super edgy and hip (read: dorky) screen name that i still can't quit

2. What is your life motto? credo quia absurdum est/ain't i a woman

3. What would be your ideal breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

*breakfast: buratta, tomatoes, crusty baguette

*lunch: buratta, tomatoes, crusty baguette

*dinner: seared scallops with risotto or grilled asparagus. or...you know, pizza from nyc.

4. What is a weird complaint you have about your physical appearance?  (Like the “my nail beds suck!” scene in Mean Girls) (You are all beautiful and perfect though): i feel anger toward my neck (adapted from nora ephron, of course), also my earlobes get flakey when the weather is dry. also my right boob is bigger than my left and it makes my necklaces lopsided.

5. What would your love potion smell like?: prada pour homme intense. the sexiest, smokiest of colognes. i steal sprays from mike whenever i can.

6. What do you wear to bed?: pj pants (always gillian + o'malley from the bullseye. always) and a random tee, either already on me, or very near me.

7. How do you feel about shopping?: love shopping. i also love shopping alone (clothes). i hate going clothes hunting with someone who takes forever/isn't fun. i do however love knick-knack (as in everything but clothes) shopping with people.

8. What do you think happens after you die?: i stop breathing, and people start crying.

9. Have you ever been to a movie by yourself? (If you haven’t, you should try it because it’s the best): going to a movie alone is one of the most empowering activities, followed by solo dinners. it's an amazing way for me to see all the movies nobody else wants to, and it feels so freeing. 

10. What are you most afraid of? death, spiders, not being liked, not being smart/smart enough, never traveling to the places i want to travel to, not being influential with my voice

11. How do you feel about cilantro? ;): i generally ask for extra in everything, so....i kind of love it a lot.
