Then there's really nothing that we can't do
If we wanted to, baby
We could exist on the stars
It'd be so easy
All we gotta do
Is get a little faith in you
[...]
If only you believed like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believed in miracles, baby
So would I.
– Jefferson Starship, "Miracles"

Personal Nonsense: The Ruka Rant: A hideously malevolent (and mostly, but not completely, irrational) damnation of all things Ruka. Why I hate him. Ruka lovers should probably not read this. Or maybe they should. Warning: lots of obscenity.
