It was a really sweet drama, but these things scare me when you can relate to them. The main woman's therapist (she thinks a HUMAN is her PET DOG, of course she is in therapy) basically sums up at one point in the series that some people find it hard to love other people, placing armour around their hearts to avoid getting too close to someone who will eventually hurt them. These sorts of people tend to form a strong emotional attachment instead to a pet, loving an animal who will always need you, who will never judge you, and who you never have to be anything but your true self around. In turn, the love you have for anyone else will never be able to compete with the sheer devotion you feel towards a pet that will always accept you unconditionally.
I think this is true for me. I'm fairly sure that I never been in love. The fact that I am unsure about it I think proves that I haven't. Sure, I have liked boys, but proper love? Nah. I never let myself get close enough for that, nor have I ever allowed myself to care enough to get my heart broken. The only time I have ever felt my heart break was the last time I saw my cat. I loved that cat more than I have ever loved anything in my whole life, and I probably still do, even though he died over two and a half years ago.
Obviously I realise the relationship you have with a person is completely different from the relationship one has with a pet. If the two were the same, it would either be a very boring relationship with a person, or a sick and perverted relationship with your pet. What I am referring to is simply that it seems to me to be so much easier to let down your defences, whether subconscious or not, around an animal to let them into your heart than it is to do the same with a person.
J Dramas are funny things. The kisses tend to be pretty lame by western standards, and normally always two characters will accidentally end up kissing by falling over on to each others lips. But Kimi wa Petto was different. Other than the first time, they were proper kissing!! Still not great, but from what I have seen so far of Drama kissing, it was like mild porn. AND THERE WAS NO 'Oops, I fell on to your lips, how awkward'.
I was trying to find a good 'accidental kiss' picture, but this long awaited kiss from
Zettai Kareshi is just too amusing not to put up.
HOT.
Don't look directly at it, the pure unbridled passion will burn your eyes!
(Thinking what happens after this hurts my heart.)
The same actors always show up too. Remember my rant a few posts ago about Makino choosing Tsukasa over Rui in Hana Yori Dango? Well Tsukasa in that was Momo the human dog in Kimi wa Petto, and also is in the new Drama I've started, Gokusen. The guy who played Rui is also in it, and he was also in Hana Kimi. The girl from Hana Kimi was also in Atashichi no Danshi (that's the one with the sauna) with another one of the guys from Hana Kimi, and in Nobuta wo Produce with the guy from Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. Two of the guys from Hana Kimi were also in Mei-chan no Shitsugi, and one of them was also in Zettai Kareshi. So basically, everything I have watched so far already has a familiar face in it, which is nice in some ways, but off putting until you can stop thinking of them as the previous character.
Oh, and I've finished Vampire Knight again now too. The characters all change so much after a certain incident, and it makes me so sad. I much prefer the first 30 or so chapters, although I just don't know where the plot is heading right now, so I'm as sucked in as ever.
I'm trying to decide whether to start on the manga's of the dramas Ive seen so far, or carry on with my old plan of reading the other works of the mangakas I have already read something of. I think I got to V in the alphabet anyway, so I may as well finish that first. I used to struggle finding new manga to read, but now I think I have a good list to be getting on with, as well as a plan of reading the four suggestions that come up on onemanga.com for every manga I have already read.
In case you were wondering, for the dramas, I am making my way down the top 20 Asian dramas on dramacrazy.net, watching only the Japanese ones. Maybe I'll do the other ones eventually too, such as Korean Dramas etc, but I don't want to confuse myself when I am just starting to pick up Japanese.
I know you don't care, and I don't really know why I decided that I should tell you all this, but hey, you guys already know I'm a loser, so never mind.
Oh, and I finished my skirt that used to be a pair of jeans today. Its pretty cool. Maybe I'll post a picture some day.
This is a long post, and one that doesn't say anything new.
To sum up:
1) I am single and likely to stay that way
2) I like manga, anime and drama
