Am I really lazy?

So today's my day off and I was telling my friend about what I was going to do today -- sleep, play games, work on my model, do some laundry. My friend gives me this wierd look and goes, "that's it?" Well, yeah. So she kinda says "you're not going to hang out w/ your friends or chat online or something?" Well, let's see, the other friends I have work, I'm sick right now, I haven't chatted in a long time or even posted or read newsgroups in a while, my emailing habits are horrible. All day at work all I do is talk w/ strangers, co-workers and friends. I think I do enough 2-way communication. Course my friend can talk for hours, and she's a lot more extroverted than me.

I did manage to get some decent sleep. About 11 hrs worth. Mind you, I can't seem to sleep even 8 hrs straight. It was 4-2-2-3 hrs today. So I went to bed about 6 (I was reading Hikaru no Go), woke up around 10, turned over and slept another 2, got up and had breakfast, finished Hikaru, napped, played FF8, napped, got up for dinner. Yes it was CAT DAY. Considering most days I end up getting only about 6 hrs of sleep and the last few days b/c I'd been coughing and drowning in my mucus, I've had days where I've only had 4 hrs of sleep. I think I deserve to get to sleep in.

Hikaru no Go was excellent as usual. Obata-sensei is such an awesome artist. Sai is sooo hot, and Akira's adorable. I think the appeal is that Hikaru's trying to learn Go on his own, but also willing to exploit Sai's connection w/ him, which doesn't make him annoyingly goody. He's just a kid, and acts like one. Some stories have characters where you wonder why in the world they have any appeal (ex. Fushigi Yuugi's Miaka getting every one of the Suzaku Warriors to fall in love w/ her . Even Noriko!!!! Oh, she's a breath of fresh air, whoopee, so she's a nice girl and tries to do her best. Well then all the women in ancient China must be bitches then, cause Miaka is whiney, indecisive, mannerless, brainless, and very useless. Jeez. Yui was so much better), or are soooo good and perfect, you just want to kill them instead of emulate them. Which is an odd reaction I suppose. Aren't we supposed to strive to be better, and therefore learn from those who can do something better than us? Then why must we seek falliability or are jealous of others? I suppose it's that inborn instinct for dominance or survival. If all we do is support others, then our own genes don't survive as well. Of course there's also benefits to the followers by the extention of favouritism to the followers, which must imply some kind of competition either btwn the followers or btwn camps. Well it's been a while since Anthro, but that was fun. Never took Philosophy though, but I'm sure Socrates or the like have already thought about this.

Anyways, I think Rumiko Takashi-sensei creates the best female protagonists: Akane Tendo from Ranma 1/2, Kagome and Sango from Inu-Yasha. I haven't had chance to read a lot of her other stories, but they're not whiney. Sure they get frightened, scared, cling to the guy but they end up dealing with it and not complaining about it again. I wish I were more like them. I'm just such a coward sometimes.
