So I'd really like to be writing fanfiction but unfortunately my brain seems to have quit on me. 8D So, I'm hoping that (the one or two of) you would help me by prompting me for one-shots? If you want I can prompt you back.

I'd really like some prompts for Monochrome Factor or Meine Liebe or Number (I feel that Number needs at least one fanfiction. Because I'm like that.) but I'll do a Prince of Tennis one to prove to myself I still remember everything. And if I don't I can have an excuse to go watch it. And to prove that I am still a fan even if I am holding an (admittedly irrational) grudge against The New Prince of Tennis.

Finals are soon WHEEEEEEEE. And I have the flu! :Db Excellent timing! Thank you life!

(I will never get over how there is a delicious cereal in existence called "Life". NEVER.)

D:

I've got that nasty-tummy feeling and just a general sense of exhaustion. As well as kind of feeling out-of-body. Excellent, just as finals are coming up.

Also it seems my Japanese skills are not what I thought they were. Scanslating Number is difficult. D:

I'm so full of fail.

-flails for some flat soda and has none-

Snatched from leveldevil , because she can't get mad at me no matter how hard she tries. ^_^

It's so rare for me to really get excited over a manga these days, and then one I am interested in comes out and hello! I've no money. -_-

Guess I will save my money until next month and buy Number vol. 4 and Monochrome Factor vol. 8 at the same time.

I've really become the jack-of-all-trades girl at work. I can do the job of anyone else on the crew except for the lead students simply because I've not the access to certain parts of the building they do. Perhaps I'll be the next lead student?

I'm happy Thanksgiving will be soon.



Nemui~.

I wonder if America would let me form my own Ministry of Silly Walks?

I suppose not. 3:





In other news I'm going j-punk rock style to school on Thursday. Let's see if the holy Nazis kick me out for extremism! 8D

(I'm such a rebel.)

Stolen from sinnatious because she's my hero...ine. 8Db

( Writer's Block! Yay! )

A Meine Liebe fanfic that I'm posting on my journal so that I'm not spamming the comm too much. :/




Title: On My Chest
Fandom: Meine Liebe
Rating: PG-13/T
Genre: Humour/Romance
Characters: Orpherus, Ludwig
Summary: A simple agreement, made without thought, leads Orpherus into more trouble than he had imagined. Warning for OOC situations/acting.



( It was only a locket, but it had been her most prized possession, and its mere presence brought comfort. His fingertips met nothing. )

... my first Japanese drama ever! :D I am a social outcast even in my own groups of Japan-lovers because I watch taiga dramas and not romance dramas! Oh happy day!


( No, seriously I am. )</div></div>

...is it just me, or does anyone else think that Cloud and Squall should be like. BFFs? Or roommates? I think they'd enjoy being each others' roommates. And emoing at each other all the time. :Db

PS3 on the way! Final Fantasy XIII demo, here I come! -dances-

(On the other hand, I am so broke until next paycheck. -fails-)

I went to the opening social of the sci-fi/fantasy club that's on campus. I have to say... I never thought I would find a club where I could have so much fun. But that is indeed a club I want to participate in! Never before have I been able to discuss Final Fantasy AND Sonic (Sonic is a rarity where I live) and anime and translating with total strangers. And laugh and have fun with people with my same sense of humour. Holy cow.

Also, apparently I've been appointed the editor of the Japanese Club. O_o?

Visual-kei hair is fun!

On the final colossus in "Shadow of the Colossus". I think I killed the nerves in my right index finger. I played for hours and didn't beat him. I seriously am the worst video game player ever. I wonder why I even bother.

I also just inherited a PSP and a Japanese copy of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. ^(o.o)^ Playing Crisis Core, finally. And I will buy the English Dissidia when I have money. Because I don't read Japanese.

Also thinking of buying a PS3. Hm. :/ It's either a PS3 or save the money for later... what to do. >_>



First day of school has left me exhausted to the point I couldn't stand at work. Thanks to my best roomie for helping me out with driving.

I am looking for short-term editors for The Monochrome Factor Project, to release one or two chapters a month for the next few months. A Chinese or additional Japanese translator would also be welcome.

If you think you can spare some time, even just a little bit to do speech blanking, please let me know. Any help will be welcome help.

Thanks. :D





In other wimpy pleading, if you've played Shadow of the Colossus and can give me some pointers on crumbling the ninth colossus, help me please. ;--;

MOI DIX MOIS WAS PERFORMING IN LOS ANGELES AT ANIME EXPO 2009 LAST MONTH.

I SO COULD HAVE BEEN THERE. I WAS IN LOS ANGELES JUST DAYS BEFORE AND BEGGED TO LEAVE. I COULD HAVE STAYED. I COULD HAVE GONE.

THIS IS THE MOST EPIC FAILURE IN MY LIFE. ;~;

-hides in corner of woe-

EDIT: OMG. MORIKAWA TOSHIYUKI WAS THERE TOO. AND KOUGA YUN?!!! -100x epic fail!-

Cirque du Soleil is going to have a series of performances just an hour's drive away! AND I CAN'T GO!! al;skdnv;xzlkchv;oasihg;as!!!!!

( Start the rest of the ramble! )

Because I want to, I suppose. Let's see how many I can cram in here before LJ's limit begins to hate on me.

As a side note, I hate my new computer's caps lock.


Title: Gentle Concern

Rating: PG
Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Romance
Summary: Akira wakes in the night while with a serious fever, and a concerned Shirogane holds him close to comfort him. It might be a weak moment, but... Shirogane/Akira.

Author's Note: Post-anime, unrelated to the manga.

( It was only when it came down to Shirogane that Akira couldn't quite figure out how he felt. )

Because the two are so close, I pretty much existed in Tokyo at least a day or two during each week. This was possible for me because I lived within walking distance of classes so I didn’t have to spend money to get there, which gave me more money to get to Tokyo. :Db
Anyway, moving on.

( Warning for EXTREME picture-heaviness )

Hope you enjoyed looking at my pictures. I also hope it makes you want to go
explore Japan a little further than just Tokyo. ;D

So, if I'm looking to maybe apply for an editing internship in the next year or so, and my spring 2010 just opened up and is calling for something to fill it, should I:

A) cram in as many editing/publishing classes in the next two semesters as I possibly can and apply for a spring '10 internship, or
B) apply for a spring '11 internship and give myself time to build up my portfolio and not stress about an internship in the next year?

B is probably the better choice, but I've no experience with internships whatsoever. :/

Help, please.

I have managed to tear myself away from Bujingai and the Food Network long enough to finally post some pictures from my trip, now that my twenty technical issues have been overcome. :Db

( Warning of picture-heavy'ness )

Anyone know how to deal with three children (aged 13, 11, and 9) who do nothing but scream and fight and beat each other up all day and won't shut up? Ever?

Because I'm running out of ideas.

Also I still don't have my pictures recovered from my old computer. Le sigh.

... with Sephiroth in hand and two suitcases full of CDs and other goodies. :Db

(I'll have a computer as soon as I get back so I can start posting pictures, yay!)


Strange how it doesn't feel like I'm heading home. More like, I'm about to go on another huge long trip with the group. Only I'm alone and the group isn't with me. And I can speak English at my destination.

 If Akira`s parents are two of Shisui`s children, I so called it.
