When I am lonely for boys it's their bodies I miss. I study their hands lifting the cigarettes in the darkness of the movie theaters, the slope of a shoulder, the angle of a hip. Looking at them sideways, I examine them in different lights. My love for them is visual: that is the part of them I would like to possess. Don't move, I think. Stay like that, let me have that.—Margaret Atwood

OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB. how did you like it?

[supersyncspaz7.livejournal.com]

It's super-fun and silly! I read the first volume of the manga years ago and when I saw it was on Netflix I started watching. I almost don't want to watch the last 6 episodes because then it will be over. ;_;
