[FFML] [Haruhi/?] The Job You Love

[Kevin Callahan]

Related, I believed that Haruhi was more along the lines of a demigod  
or minor kami. She has some fairly amazing powers but cannot always  
access them or control them. Further I have heard it explained from  
others that she may indeed be an omnipotent being retroactively  
limiting herself because full access to her powers would present no  
conflict and therefore no amusement. I tend to side with the goddess  
argument under these conditions. Conditions that agree with facts in  
evidence which would otherwise disprove the goddess theory.

Slightly more ok topic, as usual I enjoyed DB's work.
