Dang it, now I wanna ride a boar

Hello, internet. Guess where I'm at in the Bleach manga now? I just finished volume 9. All sorts of crazy things have been happening, the craziest of which involves Ichigo running afoul of a gang of Soul Reaper-hating thugs in the Soul Society. But what's super crazy is this gang moves around on boars. Not just any random hogs, but like hogs you'd find in the wild. And they've trained them to do things on command! It's fuckin' crazy, and I love it!

Well, so much for the Soul Society arc "sucking." This shit's got me hooked! This is the exact kind of zaniness I need for the rest of my summer vacation! Oh wait! That's when the current part of the storyline takes place! During Summer vacation! Man, you know how'd awesome Summer vacation would've been like if I were like Ichigo during my teen years!?

"Hey guys, I need to bust out a friend of mine from a parallel world, and I can't do it by myself. Come on, it'll be great! We'll meet new people, spar with giants, play with fireworks, and throughout the whole thing, we'll kick some ass!"

Okay, uh, why am I talking like how I did when I was fifteen right now? Okay, fifteen, and whenever I wasn't surrounded by scumbags? Is Bleach, causing me to rekindle my teen years? That's kinda strange, because every year I spent as a teenager, except for when I was 19, was either somewhat hellish, or absolutely Hell on Earth.

Oh wait, Bleach is escapism. It's making me think how awesome high school would've been if, you know, my "friends" weren't assfucks, and we had super powers, we'd be doing awesome shit during the summer. Yeah!

Uh oh. I better stop. I'm starting to not make sense. I better stop before I utter something Orihime would say.

But yeah, Bleach comics=fun.
