Not much is going on in my life. I'm catching up on hobbies and mail (I have a bunch of paperwork to do to get money back from various universities and I also was asked to join Phi Beta Kappa (an honorary society), which requires paperwork and membership fees). And wondering if Dr. Lee fell into a black hole, as he never seems to be around when I want to talk to him about grading.

I got Volume 4 of the Chrono Crusade manga yesterday. Currently this is my favorite comic ever, and Rosette is rising quickly to be Favorite Female Character Period.

I like Rosette. I like the fact that even though she does have this OMG!Angsty!Backstory, she doesn't dwell on it. Here's a character that admits she will most likely be dead by 30, either by the fact she is an exorcist chasing after a very powerful demon or by the fact she has bound her soul to Chrono's, which allows him access to his demonic powers, in exchange for part of her life essence. Either way, she will most likely not lead the life she thought she would have (she wanted to be a doctor as a kid, to help people. She also promised her brother they would be explorers) -- she is a nun, albeit an unconventional, gun-toting exorcist one. She doesn't really angst about it or dwell on it -- she enjoys what time she does have, and works to meet her goals (finding her brother). She also encourages the people around her (Chrono and Azmaria, and even Satella) to not worry about htings they can't control -- I probably wouldn't give a character like Azmaria the time of day (she's not really my kind of character), except Rosette and her interactions with her are wonderful.

Overall, I like the perceieved message of the manga -- you have to keep trying to move forward in life and don't worry about things you can't control. And staying optimistic.
