Did some online stuff that I have been meaning to. Sorry for the late update Satsuki chan but your keepsake has been added. ^^v Take good care of Watari's cake cutter. *laughs* I also added some new blog links. Hi Meia!! Hi Eve *waves* Hope everything is genki! And I also changed Val's blog link! I love the new name and the layout! *_* But I already told you that you are Goddess-like ne? ^___^

Ok now this part is gonna be my con report, part 2!! You can't stop me, muwahahaha!! And just because I am a hopeless fangirl, I am gonna gush about Midorikawa san a bit more! I loved it when this girl decked out in goth girl asked him if he was married. ^__^ The answer was yes so she then asked if she can be his concubine!! ROFL!! I couldn't believe she asked him that!! Then he said: "I may play tough characters in anime but in truth, I am very weak. If I cheated on my wife, she would punish me." *DIES DIES DIES* Midorikawa san is whipped yo!! ^___^ There was a female Tamahome cosplayer who asked to sit on his lap and she whined when he said no. @_@;; Geez, what a loser. I also loved how the panel started. Somebody brought out a pitcher of water and two cups. Midorikawa san poured a glass for his translator and then for himself. When he did that, the whole room just went "AWWW!!!". He looked up so surprised at our reaction!! It was so cute how everyone was like: "Oh he is so polite and sweet!". @_@;; One girl asked him how he liked America so far and he commented that this was his first trip to the US. Out of all of the stuff he has seen, the roads really amazed him. @_@;; He said that compared to Japan, American roads are very wide!! LOL!! I had wanted to ask him a question but I was too scared. ;_; I later on saw him in the hallway when I realized I was walking RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. I was literally half a meter behind him! I was so tempted to glomp him but I didn't. x.x;; I didn't want him to think I was some crazy ass fangirl...although I am. ^^;;

One thing that was really funny about the con was the actually city that it took place. It was falling apart I tell ya!! It turned out there had been a gas pipe that had exploded in the sewers. o_O;; My buds saw a manhole that was spitting flames and another one that had exploded into the air. O_O;; When the fire alarm went off during the movie, all of these people were wandering the streets. The sky was lavender due to the pollution, all of the street lights were dead, there was police everywhere blocking streets, fire hydrants was gushing water EVERYWHERE to contain the flames in the sewers, and there was smoke coming out of the manholes! To complete the picture, there was a bunch of Nicholas D. Wolfwood cosplayers walking around with these GIANT CROSSES!! I tell ya man, I thought it was the heralding of the apocalypse!! Fire, floods, and men bearing crosses!! *laughs* It's a good thing a manhole lid didn't explode on us. >_<;;

Me and my buds didn't have a place to stay on one of the days so we crashed with some people we met at the con. Kinda dangerous? Yeah but it was ok. When we got to the room, there was a party going on. o_O;; Lots of booze. Then one of the couples locked themselves into the bathroom and started having sex!! >_<;; UGH!! I have heard of people randomly picking up and having sex but UGH!! And later on, when one of the guys went into the bathroom, he was screaming!! Turns out there was fur and bits of blood on the sink. x.x;;;; I don't even wanna KNOW what they were doing in there!! But yes, I slept on the floor of a hotel room with a bunch of people I had just met. ^__^ Ahh, how I love cons. >_<;;

I think that about summarizes my con experience. There was a whole bunch more but that is pretty much the important stuff. ^__^ I did run into a girl in the Yami no Matsuel ML. She had a lot of good stuff that I was drooling over. ;_;

And oh yes, for my fellow partners in crime I hope to join you soon. Working with my parents day in and day out is no fun but I will try to make room in my time for you ok? *hugs all* I do miss the craziness. *laughs*

I AM BACK PEOPLE!! MUWAHAHAA!! *_* Oh I am so very tired but I am feeling pretty genki. ^_^ I know I owe emails to a lot of people but I swear I will get back to you. @_@;;

I had a lot of fun at the con! And yes indeed I got Midorikawa Hikaru's autograph!! *SQUEALS* He was SO CUTE!! And SO FUNNY!! ^___^ The panel was really interesting and the amount of fangirls in that room was amazing!! Some of the questions that they asked him was so funny! I think the most memorable one was when this girl asked him what he thought of the Heero x Duo yaoi out there. His response: "I think it is good. What other pairings do you like?"

*DIES DIES DIES*

*laughs* Can you believe he actually said that?? And to make it even worse, he said: "Oh, did you know that Duo's seiyuu lives in my neighbourhood?" DOT DOT DOT. SILENCE. I hope he was insinuating what I think he was!! *laughs* He also did a lot of voice clips and that was really cool. ^_^ He did the famous "Omae wo korosu" and other lines too. ^_^ I liked his Schuldig chuckle. *grins* It was also interesting when he gave inside info on the Weiss group. @_@;; Like how Koyasu Takehito once came right to his ear and whispered: "Midorikawa san...you have SUCH a voice...". *CHOKES AND DIES* Now I keep seeing Aya with Schuldig!! >_<;; His Mikage lines from Utena was cool too because he was talking to an Anthy cosplayer who spoke Japanese. ^_^ That was like watching the actual show. Heh. So now my Fushigi Yuugi manga 4 has the signature of Watase Yuu, Tamahome's seiyuu, and in about two weeks, Yui's seiyuu as well. Meta is an ambitious neko. ^^v

That was definitely the highlight for me but there were some other really good stuff. The dealers room was huge!! I got a Orphen DVD which I am drooling over. I also got an Azumi Tohru artbook! *_* She is one of my fav doujinshi artists ever!! Her YYH stuff is to die for! Picked up the newest L'Arc en Ciel CD and I also met up with some fan promoters of the Clicked Best Single 13. Ack! They even took a pic of me. @_@;; If no one knows what the hell I am talking about, well the new L'Arc en Ciel was released in the US as well and one of the things the official website does is sponsor people all across the US to promote the CD with posters, stickers, etc. Then those fans take pics and post it on the site. Cool ne? Well hopefully my picture will be edited out. *coughs* But it was still cool meeting them because I had wanted to do it as well but since I live in Canada, I can't. ;_; The CD is so good!! I love it!! The only bad purchase was my Saiyuki artbook. >_<;; I got the second one and I was so happy I got it dirt cheap!! Then I ripped open the plastic seal and discovered that some of the pictures were discoloured...kind of "spotty". URG!! I finally get my hands on Backgammon 2 and I can't believe this happened!! >_<;;

I didn't watch too many shows because I had seen most of them. I did catch this movie called Battle Royale. It's an acutal movie and not anime so I wasn't sure what to expect. I can sum it up in one word: BLOODY. @_@;;; It was a really good movie but holy moly it was violent!! I can handle blood and guts really well but this made even me a little queasy. o_O;; Basically, a class of high school kids is taken to an island and they have to kill each other until one lives and is victorious. @_@;; One cool part was that one of the actors looked like Gackt!! Identical I tell ya!! And he was such a crazed psycho killing machine in the movie! Me and my buddy was like: "You go Gackt! Kill those little suckers!!" He was awfully handy with a machine gun. *laughs* Then some jackass pulled the fire alarm in the last 5 minutes of the film!! Argh!! But we all kind of ignored it and watched it anyway. ^^;;

There was a lot of cool cosplayers. I saw a Count D cosplayer and I was so happy!!! She even had Q chan!!! Too bad she didn't have Leon with her. *cough* I saw so many Subaru cosplayers! A TB Subaru was walking with a X Subaru and it was such a surreal moment. Lots and lots of Vash and Nicholases. I also noticed a large amount of Cat Boys. With skirts. *LAUGHS* One particular one stood out for me and he was hilarious! He even had girls giggling and following him around. @_@;; Which reminds me, I got stalked by this creepy guy. x.x;; I always get followed around in cons. >_<;; What am I? Stalker Magnet Girl? ARGH!! But I managed to lose him so it was ok. ^^v I did see a cute Tasuki cosplayer and I wanted to glomp him but I didn't. x.x;;;

Oh wow this is getting very long. ^^; Well it was an action packed week. The only bad part was that my aunt and I couldn't find any rooms!! We had to scour all over the place and had to go way outside of the city find a room!! It sucked! Oh the things I do for anime cons. @_@;;

For those who I owe emails, linkage, keepsakes, etc. I am so very sorry for my disappearing act. I most likely will not have internet access but if I will do, I will post a message here. Ja ne minna! ^__^

OH MY GOSH I WANT TO BE IN BALTIMORE RIGHT NOW!! I WANNA GO TO OTAKON NOW!!! I HATE BEING POOR! I WANNA MEET MIDORIKAWA HIKARU AND GLOMP HIM AND RAVISH HIM AND AHH!! I WANNA GO TO OTAKON!!

*cough* Ok...Ok...I am calm...NO I'M NOT!! >_<;;; Dammit!! I wish I wasn't so fricking poor! Then I would have gone down to Otakon with James and have met Midorikawa sama. ;__; CURSES!! I didn't know he was even going to show up there!! And I know I hated his role as Tamahome but he was so cool as Zelgadis! Hell, even his deadpan voice as Heero was pretty cool. *_* WAHH!!

*gets an insane gleam in her eyes* Ne ne...Taryn san...you are in Baltimore now ne? *_* Are you going to Otakon? Can you get me an autograph? I'll give you money, my body, my soul, ANYTHING. *_*_*_* KYAHH! I wanna go!! *is going insane*

Curses! Why doesn't the anime cons in my city have cool JAPANESE seiyuu as guests!!?? We only get English seiyuu who does Pokemon!!! >_<;;

Well I finally got around to scanning my fanart of Lavender san's character, Norisu. @_@;; Truthfully, I think it looks horrible because the story is so serious and my art style isn't. >_<;; Oh, when will I escape drawing in SD-ish style?! I did try colouring his hair though...it turned out kind of funky. o_O;;

I am sure I will be ok, Kit. Thank goodness for me, my bro is no longer in dorm. ^^;; If he was, then I would move far far away! And yes, it seems Reinselft san DOES know a lot of people. But then she is just so lovable. ^_^ Don't we all want a piece of her? Oh my. That sounds awfully hentai! *LAUGHS*

*hugs tight* You're welcome, Alison chan! ^_^ Oh the banner looks so cute in that small size! Maybe I should shrink them all. ^_^ Now that you are the keeper of Tatsumi's bank account, won't you let me have some of that precious okane? ^__^

Hey Stella, sorry I didn't go out with ya today. No offense but I am glad I didn't. If I had stepped out in that heat, I would have fainted. @_@;; And people think us Canadians live in igloos and drive dogsleds. -_-;; I'd like to see them broiling in 38 degrees celsius plus humidity.

And oh yes!! I was surfing around some random blogs when I found one that had linked me! o_O;; So I am returning the favour!! If you are reading this Lin I am sorry I didn't link you sooner!! *waves madly*

I feel pretty shitty. x.x; My boss is supposed to call me but she still hasn't. UGH. Life is a bitch ne? *crawls into bed and dies* I finally did manage to update my site yesterday so that's good. @_@;; I had keepsakes that were requested in mid July!! Once again, sorry for the delay for your keepsake addition. ^^; I am usually pretty prompt about my updates but life got a bit hectic ne.

Well you are a genius, Reinselft. ^_^ And ORO?!?! o_O;; You know the artist to the sexy Sanzo pic? Wow. The net is so vast and yet so very small. @_@;;

Oh my goodness, I thought i had written about my trip down to my university. Didn't I? ^_~;; Well unfortunately, I am in a double room with a roommate. ;_; I am in the same dorm that my bro was in and I asked for the quiet floor so I will be on the same floor that he was on too. ^^; If I get the same room as him, I will be very scared. O_O;; Hopefully, I will get a nice roommate. ^^; And oh please do another piccy, Kit san. ^_^ I love your stuff.

I HATE being a girl. In my next life, I want to be reborn as a man. Than I won't have to suffer with things like MENSTRUATION and CRAMPS and BLOATING!! *clutches stomach in pain* Ouchie. ;_; The drugs aren't working. @_@;; Besides, if I am a man, I can pick up pretty boys. *_* I think I'd make a pretty decent looking guy. *laughs* Sex change operation, here I come! ^___^

I was surfing around the net yesterday and found a really nice fanart site. As I was browsing through, THIS pic of Sanzo caught my eye. *_* WOW!! The style isn't true to Minekura sensei's style but still...WOW! *drools*

Which reminds me, hey Kit san I like the new fanart. ^_^ The pose is very Saiyuki like. And is that a taser in Tatsumi's hands? O_O;;; As for Wild Adapter, it's the continuation of a previous manga called "Shiritsu Araiso Koutou Gakkou Seitokai Shikkoubu". Here is a link to a really good summary of it. I think Wild Adapter continues a few years after Shiritsu. The guy who looks like Hakkai is named Kubota and he is working for the mob. I think. x.x;; But there are these monster-ish people running around. I was confused at that part but then it showed Tokitou in the alley with his clawed hand. Tokitou is actually Kubota's best friend and they used to be the muscle for the school council in their old school. In Shiritsu, Minekura sensei used to draw Tokitou with a gloved hand or with a clawed hand. I thought she was just being artistic but now with Wild Adapter we get an explanation! *_* YEAH!! I think it's pretty obvious that Kubota is working as an enforcer in the mob since he used to do that in high school. @_@;; Moving up in the world I guess. I haven't had a chance to totally figure out the plot yet but when I do, I'll contact ya. ^^v And your new layout looks nice. The picture looks fine to me. ^_^ Now I am tempted to do another Saiyuki layout. ^_~;;

Thanks Reinselft. Glad you like the new layout. ^_^ I love your new layout too! So is that three Zoro layouts in a row so far? Hmm...and what kind of flaw did the picture have? Maybe it was scanned from a two page spread?

Hang in there, Tsukineko chan. *hugs* Don't overwork or you will collapse. @_@;; Gambatte!!

Ahh...I want more Inu Yasha and Gravitation. ;_; It's times like this I wish I lived in Japan. ;_; Ok, now I am gonna go eat or I will faint. ^^v

Oh I am so tired. *yawns* I didn't sleep much last night. I added a tracker to this blog because I am curious who comes in here. Maybe I will get hits from people I don't know! *laughs* Now for the social blogging that I have been neglecting!

While I was gone, I see your obsession with Zoro has increased. o_O;; You know you have it bad when the manga starts talking to you in your head! *laughs*

Val san has gone bye bye again and Satsuki chan is still mostly offline. ;_; I miss you both.

And I would like our blog back soon, Kit san. I guess our blog being deleted really killed the momentum eh? Hopefully we will get it back soon. ^_^ *hugs* And please do a WA layout! It'll be great!

You like Nokoru and Suoh, Leareth? Oh gods, that is making me think of the cracked fic me and Kiri once wrote. x.x;; It was so crazy but funny. ^^; By the way, I like the new Tat x Tsu layout. ^_^

And I see you got a new layout too! Ohh, kitties! KAWAII! *_* I love it, Alison! ^__^ And I promise I will get to your keepsake request soon. x.x; I have been so bad with updates on my site. >_<;;

Hi Lika chan! I have actually read some of your fics! Umm...I read the one where Kusanagi is standing trial for Yuzuriha's murder and one other. *can't remember* But the first one was really good. ^_^ I liked it a lot. Good luck with the sermons. >_<;; I hate it when people try to convert me into religions against my will.

I am back and with a new layout! ^__^ I am so very happy to be home. *kisses Toronto's ground* What am I gonna do when I leave home? I won't miss the nagging but I will miss my city. I have been living here for more than half of my life. *sighs*

I have also added Pippi to my list of blogs! Hi hi!! *waves* Um, I hope you don't mind me calling you Pippi. If you would rather I call you Aya, I will. ^^v

Thanks Kiri love for your gifts. ^_^ I am loving it. The piccy on this blog was scanned from the artbook you gave me. And the Gravitation pencil board is so cute. ^_^ Is it just me or does Shuuichi look awfully young compared to Yuki? ^^;;
