Mine was Neo Sailor Venus- Aneya Aino

BR's was Prince Demetrius. (Like Endymion) Heh. He got named Brian Tsukino.

Sailor Moon was the first anime that I was obsessed with. I used to do fan-art all of the time for it. Last year when I was in a Romanticism class, we read Endymion by Keats. I had to suppress my squeals. Endymion, who fell in love with the goddess of the moon. Quite a fitting name really.

Naoko's smart. Zel almost wrote her thesis on the mythological influences of Sailor Moon.  

[LilChibiusa]

All of the mythology fits so incredibly well. When I started watching it when I was in the 5th grade, I didn't get any of the references. You have heard about the whole Serenity/Selenity thing; Selene is the goddess of the moon. L/R are the same letter in Japanese, so yeah. And the jobs of all of the senshi matching with their respective planets/gods/goddesses. It's too well done.

By thesis, do you mean senior thesis, as in capstone?  

[BananaRepublic]

Well, her school didn't do capstones, but it she thought about it for her senior thesis at college. She ended up writing a novel instead.  

[Zellie]

Well, I was a creative writing major.


In other news, apparently my ability to trade has been revoked since the hacking. sad  

[LilChibiusa]

You wrote a novel for senior seminar? eek I didn't realize that you were a creative writing major! I'm an English major. xd

Do you think that you can ask one of the mods about getting your trading pass back?  

[Zellie]

We didn't really have senior seminar. We just had to do one thesis per major. I double majored in English Creative Writing and Theater Arts. I also wrote three one acts and desgined and directed them for my Theater thesis.


...eh. I had to file a general account inquiry.  

[LilChibiusa]

You must have one impressive resume! Didn't you say a while back that you went to work for some movie company or something?  

[Zellie]

No, I worked at a theater company; lighting design and stage management.

I'm also still working in a bakery as a cake decorator. I don't have too much under my belt yet that's resume worthy.  

[LilChibiusa]

I would think that having written a novel and three plays would be worth something on your resume.  

[Zellie]

Well, I'm not published.  

[LilChibiusa]

Have you submitted it for publishing? One of my professors keeps telling us to keep submitting no matter how many times you are rejected. He says that, and he also tells us to make sure that our grammar is faultless.  

[Zellie]

No. Both need lots of editing before I could and they're both on my dead lappy. I'd only want to publish the plays anyway. The novel was crap.  

[LilChibiusa]

If you ever get published, tell me and I'll buy a copy. 3nodding

On a side note, I am fed up with the way my computer is handling zOMG. I enter fights and it freezes. By the time that I am able to act in any way, I am already dead. xp It's funny now to think that all of us were so worried about the battle system that they kept promising us, and how it would change the face of Gaia. zOMG barely made a blip on the radar.
