I've noticed that the majority of characters that I like in anime turn out to be the tsukkomi characters. For those unfamiliar with the term, it's from Japanese comedy. Tsukkomi usually refers to the one [of a manzai duo] who isn't goofy, and points out the mistakes of the boke (literally: idiot) by making quips or retorts.

Tsukkomi characters are almost always level-headed and somewhat serious in anime. Such characters that I've found to like the most in recent anime I've watched include:

Kagami from Lucky Star
Nagi from Hayate no Gotoku
Yomi from Azumanga Daioh
Nenene from R.O.D. the TV (though not really a comedy, her role was still a tsukkomi)

:D

Dance Concert today. We'll be getting ready to go in a little while. I haven't had a dancing day in a long time. I haven't been to Urban Hope in well over a month (and prior to that one time sometime last month that I did go, I was absent for a month as well). There were no chances to practice either, so I figure I'm pretty rusty. I've been doing handstand push-ups and my arms still seem okay. But I don't know if I'll lose my breath too quickly when doing floorworks and toprocks/uprocks. It's possible, since endurance is lost quickly when you don't exercise it. D:
