Layout: Featuring Himura Battousai from a Shinji Yamaguchi Doujin that I scanned myself. Kenshin kind of looks like a vampire, but I like my designs dark with lots of black and red. I prepped the image and decided the colouring but my bro pieced it together because he’s better with html. I love Yamaguchi’s Doujinshi, so it seemed perfect if I had to stare at it every day...

Yes, I'm here... no, not in a deadly car accident or maiming bar fight. Just still having computer problems. Some days it's nice, some days it's very angry. I've gotten my newER one, but alas, it needs a video card. Yeah, quick fix... but. Ugh. Just more problems.
So in short, stories and artwork are being worked on. Specially What Went Before and very specially, WWB artwork. It's been more fun to draw for it than write for it in the past month. I'm thinking about actually drawing a few comic pages were it will be scenes from the story. But in the meantime, I'm drawing a pic for every chapter and I'm going to post them AND the story on Nekoonline.net when the time comes.
Updates are... I don't know when. I've made some ridiculous promises in the past, and I don't wanna make them anymore. But I just wanted to let you know nothing has been abandoned, that is including Himura and Kamiya. Thanks. >_<
P.S. Peoples that I was emailing about a month ago, sorry for the abrupt halt in emails. I'll explain better when I email you within the next few days. AND KILL BILL ROCKS! :P
12:38 a.m.
This Blows...
Well, my computer has gone to the all time low. It's gotten to the point where it just kind of shuts down on it's own or gives me a minute warning.
BUT! I'm getting sent a newER computer soon, and most importantly, one that works! WAHOO! But I'm not sure if that's gonna be in a week or two or three before it gets up and running.
Believe me, if I had the money, I would of bought a new one, but we spent too much money on trying to fix this one and getting my old files back, that my brother's old computer from home will do for now. But I will probably get a new laptop soon, but that won't be for 2 or 3 months.
So, those of you reading this for updates on my stories, I can't say I will have one soon. It's because my computer won't let me type it! I don't even have a spell check at the moment! X_X I say you're going to have to wait another month before I have something new to post... the same goes with any CG artwork. I just don't (and can't) want to work on either and have it deleted while I'm in the middle of it. But I have come to the point where I'm writing on regular paper *Gasps* And that's because I really have had the itch to friggen write! I love working on WWB, DAMMIT! So, maybe I'll have a couple of new things to post when I do. :D
Thank you to those who actually wait for my updates, and sorry to keep you waiting. I know it's aggravating and stupid. But when everything is fixed I promise you more regular updates and more. *Smooches*

Kill Kill KILL!
My computer... died again. AGAIN! Can you freaking believe this crap!? I went out and bought a scanner I was saving up for and installed the software for it... and the computer crashed. It wouldn't even allow me to get back on windows. It was completely dead. And no, the fixing my computer bit didn't work... I still have the pirated version of windows XP on my comp. The recovery dics won't work, blah blah blah. It's so trashed... I'm so pissed.
Anyway, as you can see, we got it back up. But it's still fucked up as it was before. I don't even have Microsoft Word on this version... I've got Paint, and that's like it. So, therefore, because of the crash, I lost my fricken chapter nine of WWB. AGAIN! X_X It's like it's a sign to stop or something... but, I think I'll stick with it. I really, really like this story, and drawing the art for it. Which I actually posted some. Check it out on in MM.org and DevART gallery. I also lost some art I was working on... So. That leaves me to this: I'm not going to be working on anything important untill this comp is fixed for good. Because it breaks and shuts down all the time, and I have to email myself saved item I don't want to lose because my CD burner doesn't work, and I can barely surf the net. Hopefully this will be solved in about a week. Was 'spose to happen this weekend... but shit happens. :x
Speaking of art... I was accused of stealing some. An old Beatles watercolour I did. It's not like they said I stole it from so and so's gallery, because it's not in anyone's else's gallery (lol) but they said there was no way in hell I could draw that. Bah. Pisses me off. I know when you compare it to my anime art... it's a lot different :? Yeah, that's because I blow at anime art. I'm better at pencil sketches and watercolours. Well, it's the first pic I've scanned (because I just got the damn cursed scanner), so when I post more of my traditional mediums this will go away. Hopefully. I don't know... I just had to rant about that. Just irks me really bad. And I just realized I don't have links to my gallery up. Here's my DA one. It's got the Beatles pic in it:

Anyway... I'll keep you all posted on my comp, and when I finish some new fanart for WWB. :D
11:48 p.m.
Yes, I'm working on it...
Oh boy. Well, tomorrow I'm getting a package with the recovery discs for my computer. I have an illegal copy of XP office uploaded on my comp right now... but windows found out, and they're not letting me use a few programs. Like WinAMP and Media Player. So here I am not able to listen to my music or burn my files I have downloaded since the last crash. So I'm gonna load up my computer with my old software --legal software-- but I'm freaking. Because I'm wondering if it's going to wipe my harddrive and I'll lose ALL my files again... *Sigh* We shall see.
So, I have been writing WWB's chapter nine. It's just I'm afraid if things don't go well tomorrow, I might be knocked off the net again for a long while. So I figured I'd leave you the introduction of the next chapter as a peace offering if things go horrible wrong. Here it goes. Remember, this is a rough draft. It might change, and mind the mistakes...
What Went Before, Chapter VIII
In the mornings, when he was just but a child, he would go out to practice. In the afternoons, and also in the evenings, he would practice. That's what he did for a long while.
Practice.
Not practice how to ride bikes, or normal things kids did. No, he practiced how to master the traditional arts of Japan, the arts of the Samurai. And the newer ones, the mastering of guns. He did it day and night until one could say you could not get any better. But he could, and he did.
And that's what got him noticed.
It bought him a ticket to what he now calls life. At the age of fifteen he was already feared among his circle.
He already had killed. And it has not stop since.
It was true, that was probably what his job position could be described as. Assassin for hire. Best in the business. Never failed on a mission. And so, that's how they had used him for a long while. A shadowy figure who came in the dark and disposed of who they did not want around to see the next sunrise.
Except he was not for hire. He was already involved in a tight group that was not easy to get into, and even harder to get out of. He was, perhaps, the best in the business. But definitely not the best at handling his bloody dealings, despite what they thought. And he had failed a mission. Not one of his jobs he was employed for. But the mission to make sure he never would let an innocent die.
It tore him apart. More than anyone would ever know.
But to hide it, he practiced and got better. A lot better.
And the inverted cross still swung silently around his neck as a reminder of his past failure.
End of intro.
And don't forget to email me, kiddies, if you have a question or just wanna rip me a new one. Ta!

One shot shot
This is a little tid-bit from the first RuroKen one shot I've been working on before I can get up the strength to rewrite chapter nine of WWB after it was deleted. Ugh... anyway, this is mellow and angsty --the way I feel at the moment. Mind the mistakes... it's in a very rough stage.
I cannot hear anything.
It is silent.
The snow is always silent, white, pure and constantly falling, but I can still not hear it.
There is nothing.
He is always quiet, careful to never, ever make a sound. It has been poured into his essence to do so from what I can gather. Still, there is nothing as he walks in front of me, trailing through the thick snow.
Ever so quiet.
Even I always try to be quiet, try to be unnoticed when I trace through my steps, but still, I cannot even hear my own footfalls.
I cannot hear anything.
And it brings me to my knees --where I wish to remain. Quiet, unnoticed and nothing.
But he notices immediately. Always so quick to notice the worst, things very wrong. He turns, and brings his hazy eyes to rest upon mine.
I stare, on my knees, not knowing what to do.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do when he silently stretches out his hand. It's so unlike him, but at the same time, very much like him. Cold, but not frozen.
But still, I cannot hear anything.
I don't know what to do.
And I fall into the darkness.
Know who it was about... who was speaking? Well, that's the first part, and it's going to include a lot of the major players from RuroKen. I've had the idea for this fic for a long ass time, and this is the second time I've tried to write it. Hopefully it comes out cool this time. Let me know what you think! =^.~=
