Of new fandoms, and hair junk

SO I have a new fandom to add to my long long list. Death Note. I wish I would have watched this series sooner. I had a couple people poking me about it, and I finally caved. MY WORD I AM SO HAPPY I DID. It's quickly jumped to right near the top of my favorites list. I think it beat out Naruto. Naruto had been at the top of my shounen list for almost TWO YEARS. I'm around episode 22. I'm hoping to finish by the end of this week. <3
The oozing awesome from Death Note-
-L, he's a detective. HAS A HORRIBLE SWEET TOOTH, and constantly sitting all scrunched up in chairs. He's just too cool for WORDS. Before I watched Death Note I always wondered about him. He looked like a very interesting character. Now I can't get enough of him.

-The animation is AMAZING. The scenes with Light's dramatic writing into the Death Note are great. (You get to see that in the trailer I linked below) The dramatic cake scene in episode 18 too. Oh, and the epic potato chip chomp made me laugh. I never saw someone eating potato chips so dramatically. LOVE this series. LOVE.

- Of course the plot is great. I probably should have mentioned that first. The mystery of it is intriguing. YOU know who Kira is, and you also know who L is. You just don't know when one of them is going to figure out the other one. Especially once L, and Light are interacting later. They are mere inches apart as Kira tries to figure out L's name to kill him, and L tries to figure out if Light is really Kira.

- The shinigami (god's of death) Ryuk, and Rem are both seriously cool. The personality differences are great. Ryuk could probably care less about what happens to Light unless it means he can't eat apples anymore. While Rem is so dedicated to Misa, and wants whatever makes her happy. It's entertaining to say the least.

The only part I DON'T like is the second opening, and ending. It's disappointing since I loved the first ones so much. The new ones are just shrieky, and annoying. The animation is rather cluttered in the second one too. That is probably my only complaint. Well besides Light being a total jerkface, but that's just part of the series. XD

Anyway, here's a fan made trailer of the series that does it justice (at least *I* think it does):

So if you're interested I suggest you check it out. Definitely worth giving a chance. (You got to see the amazing potato chip nom. Did YOU ever eat a potato chip, and look that cool? I don't know about you, but I just look like a chipmunk packing it away in my cheeks.)

On a complete side note, today I put this green hair spray stuff in my hair. I got three cans yesterday in different colors. Green, black, and blue. It's interesting...I'm not sure if i like it. It says it will wash out with the first shampoo so at least if I don't like it I'm not stuck with it.
