So I'm now secretary of Oxford Uni Kendo society. I had my first committee meeting last night, which took forever, and didn't really get a chance to practice Kendo. Aparrantly last year's committee were awful at record-keeping and we've lost a good amount of club armour because people never returned them/felt the deposit they left behind was well worth the kit (it is). This year we plan to be much more organised, starting with a proper database of all the club members. I never realised how much admin stuff and organisation goes into running a club - obvoiusly I know there's a lot of work, but to be in on every single teeny detail is quite a new thing. 

Ahaha, so yeah, I already made a great start (irony) on being the secretary. After our initial meeting we decided to extend it a little just so we can sort out things there and then but one of the committee member had already entered the dojo and was starting to practice. I had to go to fetch back him but I made the mistake of going too late because by the time I entered the dojo, everyone was already in armour and I had no idea who was who! It was all rather embarrassing and involved me running around peering through their helmets. Not cool. 


I finished watching Lovely Complex. It was a really sweet and endearing story and made me all girly and mushy for a while. Also, from a completely different anime, hot damn Zero (Vampire Knight) is sexy!

My, I'm jealous of your job. Sounds really great - too bad that there was this incident the very day you started, though. :/

I'm sure you'll do a great job as a secretary, it's obvious you are serious about it. ^^

Oh, and Zero is soo gorgeous (Kaname isn't even half as gorgeous!)O_O Have you read the manga? I started to read it when I had watched the first episode... Sigh, I'm a bit pissed at the author right now, since I don't like the recent developments in the story... Feels like there's so much focus on Yuuki, and I'm not very fond of her. Oh well! XD

Haven't read the manga but I kind of know the main plot. Kaname irritates me, especially in the context of Kaname+Yuuki=eternal love, although if there were more Kaname-Zero interactions I wouldn't mind :P
The problem with shoujo anime is that it always focuses too much on the main girl protagonist, and if you happen to not like her..you're a bit stuck. This is why I love shounen anime like Prince of Tennis more because it features minor characters more evenly.
