A List
Today was productive.
1. I got a haircut and highlights, which I normally wouldn't do for myself, but it was a Christmas gift from my parents, so.
2. I saw a friend who, until she tells me what she would prefer to be called here, shall be known as R, and got her into Death Note. WOOHOO! Somebody else to bore silly with tinhatty diatribes on L and Light's Big Gay Love! We watched the first seven episodes of anime, and I left the first few volumes of manga with her. Must remember to make sure she sees episode 15. "YAGAMI-KUN!!! Konnichiwa," will NEVER NOT befunny FRIGGIN HYSTERICAL OMG I just watched it again to make sure I had the right episode number and it is making me laugh until I CRY over here.
Also, I got her somewhat into FMA. Mostly I seem to have convinced her that I'm pretty much a nutcase who entertains delusions of marrying Hawkeye on the astral plane. If the shoe fits, you know? BUT she is interested, so I left the first few volumes of that with her, too. FMA is just so good; I'm so happy to be getting it some potential new fans. It makes rewatching the first two episodes, which totally could have been called "Much Ado About Dead Birds: Parts I and II," completely worth it.
3. I wrote up my first LJ post of 2008. Excuse me for being lazy.
Ummm. Just so I can have some content in this post, here, have some ramblings on which Hogwarts Houses I think Phoenix Wright characters would have been Sorted into. (I did one for Death Note characters, too. They were all in Slytherin.)
As CP'd from a text file on my hard drive:
So now I'm thinking about the Houses the Phoenix Wright characters would have been in. You know, in the alternate universe in which they all went to Hogwarts. Obviously.
I think Franziska would have been in Slytherin. She's prodigious, sure. But the ambition. My God, the AMBITION. You don't get to be an eighteen-year-old with a perfect win record over a five-year professional career by being timid, plus she's always promising witnesses what they want in exchange for good testimony, which is so Slytherin it could be in a textbook called Being a Slytherin 101. And I think her father was in Ravenclaw. Yeah, he turned out to be the type of person who would kill for his win record, but that was after the fact, so it wasn't ambition or self-preservation; it was a character flaw. I think Edgeworth was also in Ravenclaw. He's clearly an intellectual type, and, despite rumors of evidence fabrication (that did turn out to be false, for the record), he's so by-the-book it almost hurts. The best part of this is that Edgeworth being in her father's house when she herself wasn't would absolutely eat at Franziska. I'm for it.
Phoenix, meanwhile, could probably pull the Sword of Gryffindor out of the Sorting Hat. Every single damn thing he does is for Justice and Truth. He's hardly afraid of any situation, even when it involves standing up to known mobsters, and especially when it involves protecting people he cares about. Even his NAME says "Gryffindor".
Gumshoe, I think, would have been in either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. Not Ravenclaw, sorry to say, and as for Slytherin--why? But he does seem to have the appropriate qualities for either of the other two. I'd say it comes down to whether or not I want him to have been in a different House from Maggey, who is the most Hufflepuff of Hufflepuffs that ever Hufflepuffed. I think I'll go with Hufflepuff for Gumshoe, actually, even though Gryffindor would have been fine for him, too--inter-House relationships are hot, but it really only works if they're there at the same time, which they wouldn't have been.
Mia would have been a Gryffindor too. I think Maya would also fit in there--maybe it could be one of those family things. So Pearl could go there too, although she's still too young for Hogwarts when we see her in canon (the first three games, at least--I wonder if we see her in the fourth game! That would be so cool. I can't wait for the end of February), so it's a bit hard to tell. I don't know what that means for Iris and Dahlia, though.
Godot is a big mystery.
