I think it's brisk! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />Oh right, the....idea~<br /><br /><br />Well, Known to VERY few of you, I just got a web-cam and I plan to make my first broadcast tomorrow on Youtube at: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/user/Marushachan">[link]</a><br /><br />The thing is, I do not have a clear topic to talk about. I do have a slight attention-span problem, so I need to have some kind of topic to return to if I wonder off on a tangent.<br /><br />So? Any ideas? Nothing about politics since I really could care less on that topic. I love animals, maybe that could be one. Hmm...I'll just put up a poll and see what is the popular vite by tomorrow afternoon.<br /><br />If you want me to shout out at you, say so in a comment below!<br /><br /><br />...Yes, you are all about to see the Multi-talented Maru-sha....LIVE! <br />Break out the happy-snacks~! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/party2.gif" width="36" height="38" alt=":party:" title="Party" /><br /><br />================================<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br /><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></a> ]]></description>

But only these three of the seven entries stood out from the rest!<br /><br />Be proud of yourself everyone! This has been a wild rife of a contest and sadly, the finally loop is here.<br /><br />There is ONE winner per category:<br />Best Crack <br />Best Fluff<br />Best of Both Worlds (Crack and Fluff)<br /><br />+++++++++<br /><br /><b>The WINNERS!! <a href="http://furrydanceplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/f/u/furrydanceplz.gif" alt=":iconfurrydanceplz:" title="furrydanceplz"/></a></b><br /><br />BEST Crack:<br /><a href="http://derrot.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/e/derrot.jpg" alt=":iconderrot:" title="derrot"/></a> - <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Derrot.deviantart.com/art/Shark-Fins-138318918"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs51/150/i/2009/269/3/c/Shark_Fins_by_Derrot.jpg" width="118" height="150" /></a></span></span> (NagatoXMaru, KisameXNagato CRACK)<br />--<br />Seriously...SERIOUSLY?!! What the hell as the artist snorting when they thought this up? THIS is what true crack is. Unexpected and disturbing hilarity. No one else used the pairing of NagatoXAnyone in the whole contest, making this stand out and be on top. All the other pairings were interesting or even predictable. This artist thought outside of the virtual box and created a piece that makes me laugh and creeps me out to the fullest. First place can go to no one else but <a href="http://derrot.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/e/derrot.jpg" alt=":iconderrot:" title="derrot"/></a><br /><br /><br />BEST Fluff:<br /><a href="http://cristinik.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/r/cristinik.png?4" alt=":iconcristinik:" title="cristinik"/></a> - <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://cristinik.deviantart.com/art/Akatsuki-Daze-Contest-Entry-136548560"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/253/c/b/Akatsuki_Daze_Contest_Entry_by_cristinik.jpg" width="150" height="85" /></a></span></span> (DeixSaso fluff. MaruxKarla fluff + OC)<br />--<br />The cuteness...the sheer cuteness of this entry alone shot it up the ranks. The pairing is predictable, yet done in a fluffy manner. I can't ever see Sasori being THAT nice to Deidara, making this SLIGHTLY cracky, but it falls more into the fluff area. Congratulations on Second place, <a href="http://cristinik.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/r/cristinik.png?4" alt=":iconcristinik:" title="cristinik"/></a><br /><br />Best of Both Words:<br /><a href="http://aug325.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/u/aug325.gif?1" alt=":iconaug325:" title="aug325"/></a> - <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a  class="mature" href="http://aug325.deviantart.com/art/Sex-Ed-138318704"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.net/fs50/150/i/2009/269/9/2/Sex_Ed_by_aug325.jpg" width="150" height="109" /></a></span></span> (Jashin, Dana, Hidan, Maru CRACK/FLUFF)<br />--<br />This decision was hard. It was all left up to Originality. Never has there been an entry based on a real conversation entered in a contest I've had with someone here on DA. It takes real creativity to re-enact a totally cracked out situation in a drawing. The art itself isn't high, but it's far better than I can do and the idea behind it all is the real crack. Third place goes to you, <a href="http://aug325.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/u/aug325.gif?1" alt=":iconaug325:" title="aug325"/></a><br /><br />+++<br /><br />Runner-Ups (Honorable mention)<br /><a href="http://puppylover6948.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/u/puppylover6948.png?1" alt=":iconpuppylover6948:" title="puppylover6948"/></a> - <span class="shadow-hol... ]]></description>

I put on my Akatsuki cloak and she dressed as Obito Uchiha, the washout of the Uchiha Clan. <br /><br />We WALKED to the site and I dragged her there on a chained leash and some delivery guy thought we were into S&M <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> Which is true, but we're not gonna tell just ANYONE! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />I brought my Akatsuki paddle and finished the Uchiha Clan paddle inside of the hotel. At the Naruto gatherings outside of the convention hall, Naruto cosplayers used them to their advantage in photos, which I was very proud of <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bow.gif" width="21" height="16" alt=":bow:" title="Thank you! Thank you!" /><br /><br />My ZETSU coplay was a great success! It was just...GREAT! And who knew there were many Zetsu fans besides me?! I was glomped like 13 times and photographed 40 times. There was this time :iconobitu--uchiha: wandered off from me and when I tried to find her, I was stopped to get photographed, then like six other people came up and took pictures too. I was blushing with pride, but the face makeup kept it hidden from view! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />Then when I cosplayed as Tsunade, my Obito cosplayed as Akatsuki Kakashi (le gasp!!). There was a huge Naruto gathering in the morning on the 3rd day and I had to Uchiha Paddle <a href="http://obito--uchiha.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/o/b/obito--uchiha.gif?1" alt=":iconobito--uchiha:" title="obito--uchiha"/></a> out of bed. No joke. We made it in time and it was great! The Kakashi cosplayer from AnimeLA who motor-boated me, and also there was the Tobi cosplayer from said con. I was one of three Tsunade cosplayers who the four Jiarayas had a ball with. <br /><br />And le gasp...I found the PERFECT Kisame cosplayer and pretty much each time we saw each other, we hugged! It was a riot for people who wanted to take Crack Pairing pictures. Seriously...I liked this Kisame a whole freakin' lot! He let me swat him with the Akatsuki Paddle and everything! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> If that's not Otaku-Love, then what is?! I bet he has a girlfriend though....he MUST...<br /><br />Me and Obito were sad when the con finally ended. We just went into the Dealers Hall and bought things on the last day. She found herself a long-distance friend and I was so happy for her. I hope he comes around and woos her heart, soon. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Did I mention we met up with AnimeOTK members there, too? *sly grin*<br /><br />We wanna do it again next year!! Now it's....morning! I'm sleepy...<br />I'll add more to this later! See ya'!<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br /><br />================================<br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Quote of the moment:<br />----------------------- <br /><b> <i>ÂI stole a baby from a candyÂ ZetsuÂs dark half said.<br /><br />ÂUm, donÂt you mean you stole candy from a baby?Â<br /><br />ÂHeh heh...noÂ the dark half responded.</i> dialogue between Zetsu and Pein - Akatsuki Daze</b><br />*<br />*<br />*<br /><br />I just got some rather quizzical-ing comments on my "Young Love" deviation.<br /><br />I'd like to thank <a href="http://obito--uchiha.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/o/b/obito--uchiha.gif?1" alt=":iconobito--uchiha:" title="obito--uchiha"/></a> for trying to point out the rudeness and wrong to the commenter(s). I'll take it from here.<br /><br /><br />NOW LISTEN UP!!<br /><br />Almost a year ago I became intrigued with the Akatsuki thanks to <a href="http://renjisbabysister.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/e/renjisbabysister.png?1" alt=":iconrenjisbabysister:" title="renjisbabysister"/></a>, who was a big fan of my past works with my Inuyasha fanfictions. <br /><br />So after she told me more about this organization of S-class criminals, I decided to write my very first Naruto-based fanfiction on them. I even promised <a href="http://renjisbabysister.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/e/renjisbabysister.png?1" alt=":iconrenjisbabysister:" title="renjisbabysister"/></a> I'd use her OC Karla-chan. The fanfic went over MUCH better than I thought, thanks to all of you! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />WARNING!! FROM THIS POINT ON, I WILL USE MY BETTER JUDGMENT AS A WRITER. PREPARE FOR SOME SEVERE DRESSING DOWN.<br /><br />Now, <a href="http://renjisbabysister.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/e/renjisbabysister.png?1" alt=":iconrenjisbabysister:" title="renjisbabysister"/></a> is on my back about how I changed Karla. I will admit, I did. I did a lot for the sake of the fanfiction. In <a href="http://renjisbabysister.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/e/renjisbabysister.png?1" alt=":iconrenjisbabysister:" title="renjisbabysister"/></a>'s fanfictions, Karla is a girl with somekind of VERY useful jutsu that the Akatsuki wanted for their personal gain, so Leader (yes, I know his name is Pein) sent Sasori and Deidara into Karla's home village to kill everyone except her. <br /><br />Huge Mary-sue point...<br /><br />Then Karla is taken back to the Akatsuki and told what she is there for and that's it. Her age is around 4 or 5, I'm not sure. Anyway, Karla becomes attached to Sasori in a father/daughter sense. As Karla grows up into a young adult, Hidan has eyes for her and thus rapes her (Very Hidan-like). Karla is now pregnant and gives birth to emotionless twins.<br /><br />It doesn't stop there. Karla ends up mating with all the Akasuki members, except Sasori (no penis maybe?) and Pein. All the while the Akatsuki just lets her blend in with them and not even wear the cloak of their organization. In other words, they accepted her in quite quickly.<br /><br />Mary-sure point...<br /><br />So the reason I changed Karla so much by <a href="http://renjisbabysister.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/e/renjisbabysister.png?1" alt=":iconrenjisbabysister:" title="renjisbabysister"/></a>'s standards is because I didn't want Karla to be known as the whore of the Akatsuki, but the gentle little girl she is in Akatsuki Daze.<br /><br />After all, Akatsuki Daze is rated PG-13~<br /><br />So sorry that I changed Karla so much from her original status, but really....can you all blame me for doing it?<br /><br />================================<br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

She'd let us all rub her belly and she'd say the baby was moving and that it liked all of us <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />Mom: Well, then I guess pregnant teachers are alright in commercials then.<br /><br />Me: *starts laughing* Remember when I was little and I thought that babies came out of your leg?! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br />Mom: Hahaha! You thought that?<br /><br />Me: yes. But then I saw this movie while I was still about five with you and the babysitter. Then I knew that babies came from your stomach.<br /><br />Mom: They come from your vagina<br /><br />Me: *snickering*<br /><br />Mom: Who even thought up that word? Vagina? Vaaagiiinaaa!!<br /><br />Me: <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" /><br /><br />Mom: And then the word penis? I mean...what if the penis was called...umm...a door?<br /><br />Me: then the word word would be the word penis! And then we'd have this scenario! "Timmy! Shut the penis! You're letting in the cold!"<br /><br />Mom: Ok...then maybe if we made the word vagina...hmm...the word dot or period?<br /><br />Me: Then the period and dot would be opposite, too! "Stanley! You didn't put a vagina at the end of your sentence!" And websites would be wwwVAGINAdeviantArtVAGINAcom <a href="http://iloveitmoreplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/l/iloveitmoreplz.png?1" alt=":iconiloveitmoreplz:" title="iloveitmoreplz"/></a><br /><br />Mom: Oh dear lord, Maru-sha! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br />Me: *laughing fit* This is going on my journal!<br /><br />Mom: Oh nyuuuu! *still giggling*<br /><br />-<br />-<br /><br />So you see....my insane-ness came from my mother's period or dot and also my father's door!

It fits perfectly in all the right places~ It came with the shoes and kunai and many other accessories.<br /><br />Oh, and my Zetsu cosplay is slowly coming together. I'm using the minimal ideas, but it really looks great so far. I still need to get black and white pairs of gloves and face paint. Anyone know what type of face paint I should get??<br /><br />Also!! I want my fans opinion. I'm planning on getting my hair braided into individuals soon. Should I just get my hair braided, or add synthetic hair along with mine to make my hair look longer? I was thinking about putting white colored hair in, but I'll go with my hair color. Its just for the summer and it won't hinder my cosplaying for upcoming anime cons since I'll be getting wigs.<br /><br />Your input would be appreciated ^^<br /><br />================================<br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Quote of the moment:<br />----------------------- <br /><b> <i>"Tobi has a funny feeling in his pants!"</i> Tobi - Akatsuki Daze</b><br />*<br />*<br />*<br /><br />So far I'm reviving the dead Akatsuki Daze fan fiction. It should be up in a day or two. I really love the plot twists coming up.<br /><br />As for random, I'm in a mix of RPs as of late.<br /><br />One with <a href="http://gaarazpanda669.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/a/gaarazpanda669.gif?3" alt=":icongaarazpanda669:" title="gaarazpanda669"/></a> that involves her OC Panda and Jashin becoming lovers and raising young Jashin-adopted Hidan and also making children. Their first line of children were Miyomi and Zura, girl and boy. Miyomi is a natural born hell-raiser just like Jashin, while Zura is Uke-like, timid, and likes to paint. <br /><br />Recently Panda gave birth again to three kids, Usagi, Tamaki, and one child that's unnamed and looks like Zetsu's offspring thanks to a poison Sasori "accidentally" used while delivering the triplets. <br /><br />Also in the RP, time passes so Hidan grew from age nine, to twelve, and now sixteen. He's been in love with Itachi since he was twelve and even did "it" from time to time. Itachi resides in the same house as Jashin and Panda now since in the RP he recently lost his family when an earthquake fell on everyone in his house. Jashin can't stand Itachi since he's an Uchiha. In reference to "My Jashin", Hidan was raped by Madara Uchiha and since then, Jashin cannot trust any Uchiha. <br /><br />Thankfully, Panda isn't a pushover and makes sure Jashin doesn't kill poor Itachi.<br /><br />Ah~ That's one RP down.<br /><br />The other RP is with <a href="http://obito--uchiha.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/b/obito--uchiha.gif?1" alt=":iconobito--uchiha:" title="obito--uchiha"/></a> and its about Zetsu and Obito. We're both dorks and wish Obito was Tobi. <br /><br />Well, more like Zet, Su, and Obito.<br /><br />I really like this RP since Zetsu found a way to make both his sides two different bodies. And also since Obito was crushed by a rock and revivied by Zetsu, he's pretty much mentally screwed up in a comical sense. (How else could Tobi be so goofy?!) Whatever time that's not spent on missions, Zetsu teaches him. <br /><br />One day both of his sides were arguing and after trying to pull away from one another...it worked. It turns out the Light side was a woman, while the Dark side was a man. So Zet and Su were now two separate people; brother and sister. <br /><br />Su is a sweet girl who thinks of Obito more like a son than just a teammate. When angered, all the calm in her vanishes, yet she cannot bare to lay a hand on her precious Obito. Zet is the loud and more mean of the pair, often bullying Obito. Su claims to be the older of them, but Zet tells her they were born at the exact same time since they were still one body as an infant. Su argues her side came out milliseconds before Zet's.<br /><br />Most of this RP is spent in the Akatsuki hideout or on missions. Both Zet and Su eat nothing but meat or other ninja. Obito calls Zet his dad and Su his mom. <br /><br />I'm done talking. I just did this to make me tired enough to go to bed. Any questions on the RPs above? Comment me. <br /><br />Night all my fans! I'll see you later. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />================================<br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

I gotta order my Tsunade cosplay, fix up the large leaves for when I cosplay Zetsu, and possibly make my friend a Jashin cosplay.<br /><br />Now to go congratulate myself with some sleep~!<br /><br /><br />Oh, be on the look out for a Summer-Themed Contest I'll be having soon! <br /><br />Sayonara! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br /><br />================================<br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

The luuuuucky dude's name is Larry and he's from Nigeria, the richest country in Africa. My mother took off a little over a week ago to go there to meet him as his family. He asked her to marry him today and my mother called and told me. She's so happy. I'm...I'm...I really don't know.

                <description><![CDATA[ Quote of the moment:<br />----------------------- <br /><b> <i>"Tobi has a funny feeling in his pants!"</i> Tobi - Akatsuki Daze</b><br />*<br />*<br />*<br /><br />Well summer is nearly here for college students. Here is my list for summer activity.<br /><br /><br />1. first day home: 13-hour sleep marathon (seriously. I start all my vacations with me gaining the sleep I lost)<br /><br />2. July 3rd-6th: Anime Expo! Any of my fans who are in the Southern CA area are encouraged to go. You'll see me definitely. I'll be Zetsu. Glomps are accepted with prior warning. I won't bite~ >.><br /><br />3. Mid-July: Going to visit my little sister <a href="http://akatsukisaijou.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/k/akatsukisaijou.jpg?1" alt=":iconakatsukisaijou:" title="akatsukisaijou"/></a> for a late b-day party/sleepover for a few days. Our big sis <a href="http://obito--uchiha.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/b/obito--uchiha.gif?1" alt=":iconobito--uchiha:" title="obito--uchiha"/></a> will be joining us and several cosplay skits will take place.<br /><br />4. I most likely will not be home very often since my home freaks me out due to spiders and the noises it makes at night. Soooo~ I'll be over a different friend's house every other night or so.<br /><br />5. My mother might be getting married for the...Jeez...for another time. I'm happy for her, but I really dun want a repeat of other men she's married. I plan to keep my distance.<br /><br />6. Upon returning to South Dakota in early August, I'll be going to Sogen Con 2009 with <a href="http://secretsheik.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/secretsheik.jpg?2" alt=":iconsecretsheik:" title="secretsheik"/></a> and possibly her friend Robert, who in my opinion, is a cool guy and I hope he can come ^^<br /><br />7. Publish Unlikely Angel. *crosses her fingers* I pray for at least a hundred people to buy it at least. It'll be a great feeling for me to have my work immortalized on paper and in the hearts of readers for generations to come.<br /><br />8. My birthday is June 14th, so I gotta think about what I wanna do. Hmm...maybe just go Whale Watching and then go to Red Lobster. Oh my gawd...that's terrible! Going to eat seafood after seeing them! *evil chuckle*<br /><br />9.  Other random things~<br /><br /><br />NOW FOR WHAT COMING UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE!!<br /><br />There was an anime-related event last weekend! I won a free ticket to go see L:Change the World movie next Thursday. I plan to leave campus Thursday afternoon and possibly take <a href="http://secretsheik.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/secretsheik.jpg?2" alt=":iconsecretsheik:" title="secretsheik"/></a> to see it. All fans in the Sioux Falls region are really encouraged to go! It's a great movie!<br /><br />That's it for now! I'll see you all later!<br /><br />================================<br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

I'm ashamed of myself and feel terrible. I want to tell my family, but I can't. They've done so much for me and I just don't know how to tell them that I'm not a great student and I really don;t want to waste their money on getting mediocre grades.<br /><br />That is why I've decided...<br /><br />I'm going to finish up my first year of college, then during the summer I shall go out and publish my first novel. It's my life-long dream to be able to write without a care in the world and bring people wonder and amazement through my own imagination and imagery. <br /><br />I really cannot see myself doing anything else, but maybe a part-time job on the side. I truly hope my work can finance living expenses, food, and of course going to visit my friends and going to anime conventions.<br /><br />I'm setting my dream out into the world, now it's my job to finish what I started and then jump into my dream. <br /><br />I do not want to turn back.<br /><br />All I ask of your guys is to have faith in me and cheer me on. <br /><br />~ Maru-sha<br /><br />================================<br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Quote of the moment:<br />----------------------- <br /><b> <i>"Tobi has a funny feeling in his pants!"</i> Tobi - Akatsuki Daze</b><br />*<br />*<br />*<br /><br />Oh my Jashin-sama....<br /><br />Words cannot describe the feeling of the con I just went to. My feet ache, my back hurts, my bra is too tight...<b>I loved it</b><br /><br />Me and <a href="http://secretsheik.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/secretsheik.jpg?2" alt=":iconsecretsheik:" title="secretsheik"/></a> (we'll call her Leader-sama) drove to St. Paul for this con and we arrived earlier than expected. The location was inside of a hotel and there were 'normal' people there who were both shocked and I'll bet amused at seeing so many cosplayers. There were over 3,500 of us and to my big-city standards, that wasn't too many, but just enough. <br /><br />On day one, I got my badge and wandered around with Leader-sama who cosplayed as Pein and her buddy Robert who was Kakuzu; he even had a briefcase full of fake money! Me? I was cosplaying as Maru of course. Well, during the badge-pick up, I was Yomiko Readman from Read or Die, but once I saw all the Akatsuki cospalyers, I went and put on my cloak and blended in. <br /><br />We started a random conga-line that consisted of Akatsuki members and other Naruto characters. It went for a while before someone said we had to stop for a minute. Leader-sama shouted "disperse!" and we all took off in various directions in the crowds. I'm SURE someone has a video on youtube of it~!<br /><br />I participated in the "Iron-Pen Drabble" contest where we had to write a fanfiction that involved a mystery item and it had to be 100 words. No more, no less. I don't think I won, but my entry was pretty darn funny and I shall post it here ASAP.<br /><br />Oh! There was an Orochimaru cosplayer that I clung onto during a few durations of the con and I got my picture taken with a Tsunade cosplayer as well. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />The techno dances were freakin' awesome. I danced until my feet were numb, then kept dancing. I even got inspiration for a new fanfic from it. There was a mass conga-line in the rave, too. It broke up several times, but reformed each time, getting even longer. (That's what she said~) Someone came as Kisame and brought his prop Samehada along. Leader-sama and I grabbed all the discarded glowsticks we could and decorated it so that by the end of the dace it was glowing brightly. <br /><br />Me and Leader-sama were on the Fanfiction panel on the last day which I found VERY fun! It was a new experiance to be ON the panel instead of in the audience and give people fanfiction advice.<br /><br />One thing that got me by surprise was that someone called the police on some cosplayers who were across the street taking photos near the cool looking bridge. Apparently wearing a mask and holding baseball-bats and swords makes you somekinda terrorist. I wish the city was aware of the fact there was a con going on...stuff like that never happened at Anime Expo or Anime LA.<br /><br />All in all it was FUN!! I rate it 10/10 and I'll be posting videos and pictures of the con soon. <br /><br />Until next year, See ya' Anime Detour!<br /><br />=== <br /><br />Cosplays used:<br />Yomiko Readman from R.O.D<br />Maruhanabachi (Maru) from Akatsuki Daze<br />Techno dance attire - FLCL T-shirt, Comfortable jeans, Sound Village headband, glow-sticks<br /><br />================================<br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3193494"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3193494.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br />================================<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Enjoy these at your leisure<br />------------------<br />SogenCon clip 1: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EhHOxFhL2nk">[link]</a><br /><br />SogenCon clip 2: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Dy27JIG-8&feature=user">[link]</a></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

Great job!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />Crack Pairing - yes (MaruXSasori)<br />OC - yes<br />Hentai-ish - yes<br />Candy cane - yes (relates to above <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />)<br />--------------------------<br />2nd place<br /><a href="http://gaarazpanda669.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/a/gaarazpanda669.png?2" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongaarazpanda669:" title="gaarazpanda669"/></a> - <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://GaarazPanda669.deviantart.com/art/Akatsuki-Daze-112026140"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs41/150/f/2009/037/3/d/Akatsuki_Daze_by_GaarazPanda669.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br />- A close second behind :iconsercretsheik: was this piece.

This entry had me near tears. Very well thought out, I'm just sad it was so short. I never would've put the pair she wrote about together, but now after reading this, the paring seemed very likely.

ATTENTION!!! THE CONTEST END DATE HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO FEBRUARY 10TH!! USE THIS EXTRA TIME TO ADD MORE ENTRIES TO YOUR ENTRY LIST IF YOU SO DESIRE ^_^</b><br /><br />Welcome to the new year, my fans! It's time for another contest! This time, the theme is holidays.<br /><br />Since the holidays are now over and fresh in your memories, this theme should be easy. Yet for those who sadly did not have a special place in their hearts for the holidays, you may enter a WRITTEN <b>hentai</b> entry. <br /><br />Of course, you can combine the two themes, since it is the season to be horny~.<br /><br />Also, you can enter a <b>Crack-pairing</b> fic or drawing. The rules for this category are simple, <b>DO NOT</b> pair the following pairs together, yet still follow the rules in the rules section:<br />--------------------<br />Sasori/Deidara<br />Pein/Konan<br />Zetsu/Maru<br />Tobi/Deidara<br />Zetsu/Tobi<br />Itachi/Kisame<br />Hidan/Kakuzu<br />Maru/Hidan<br />Orochimaru/Kabuto<br />=====================<br />Rules:<br />------<br />Everyone hates rules, but these have to be addressed.<br /><br />0) This is an <b>Akatsuki Daze</b> based contest! Make sure your submission follows somewhere along the lines of the initial fan-fic. Do you see Naruto or Sakura in Akatsuki Daze? No? Then they really shouldn't be in your entry unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary or they are only mentioned. <br /><br />1) If you are doing a <b>drawing</b>, no nudity... This is a contest for all ages. It can be ecchi, but not hentai. Got it? Good.<br /><br />2) If you submit a work of prose, have a field-day with it. This is a contrast for those who just want to submit something hentai and rule 1 only hinders them.<br /><br />3) You can add Maru or Karla if need be. They're not original Akatsuki members to begin with, <b>but your work will be kicked up a few points if they do happen to be in your submission.</b><br /><br />4) If you're writing or making a picture, it MUST contain this one simple thing. <b>A candy cane</b>. As long as the item is named in the story and is used in some way, the story passes.<br /><br />5) Limit 3 submissions per person.<br /><br />6) ALL THE RULES ABOVE MUST BE FOLLOWED OR YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE PUT IN THE TRASH-BIN<br /><br />7)<b> UPDATE!! You may use your own OC in any fashion, be it fic-wise or in a drawing!</b><br />==============================<br /><b><i>PRIZES!</i></b><br /><br />WOOT! There are prizes!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /><br /><br />1st prize - Three month subscription to deivantART and your OC entered into a future chapter of Akatsuki Daze<br /><br />2nd prize - One month subscription to deviantART<br /><br />3rd prize - your OC entered into a future chapter of Akatsuki Daze<br /><br />There you have it, you many enter a holiday drawing or fic, a hentai fic, or a crack-pairing drawing or fic. Heck, if you somehow get all of them into your entry, consider yourself almost guaranteed a prize. <br /><br /><b>Contest ends: February 10th<br />Contest begins: five minutes ago</b><br /><br />================<br /><br /><b>Contestants so far: </b><a href="http://furrydanceplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/u/furrydanceplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfurrydanceplz:" title="furrydanceplz"/></a><br /><br /><a href="http://secretsheik.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/secretsheik.jpg?2" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsecretsheik:" title="secretsheik"/></a> - entry 1: <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://secretsheik.deviantart.com/art/Xmas-no-Jutsu-108971909"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/009/d/0/Xmas_no_Jutsu_by_secretsheik.jpg" width="118" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://kalinereine.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kalinereine.gif?4" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkalinereine:" title="kalinereine"/></a><br /><br /><a href="http://puppylover6948.deviantart... ]]></description>

It's time for another contest! This time, the theme is holidays.<br /><br />Since the holidays are now over and fresh in your memories, this theme should be easy. Yet for those who sadly did not have a special place in their hearts for the holidays, you may enter a WRITTEN <b>hentai</b> entry. <br /><br />Of course, you can combine the two themes, since it is the season to be horny~.<br /><br />Also, you can enter a <b>Crack-pairing</b> fic or drawing. The rules for this category are simple, <b>DO NOT</b> pair the following pairs together, yet still follow the rules in the rules section:<br />--------------------<br />Sasori/Deidara<br />Pein/Konan<br />Zetsu/Maru<br />Tobi/Deidara<br />Zetsu/Tobi<br />Itachi/Kisame<br />Hidan/Kakuzu<br />Maru/Hidan<br />Orochimaru/Kabuto<br />=====================<br />Rules:<br />------<br />Everyone hates rules, but these have to be addressed.<br /><br />0) This is an <b>Akatsuki Daze</b> based contest!

Then they really shouldn't be in your entry unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary or they are only mentioned. <br /><br />1) If you are doing a <b>drawing</b>, no nudity... This is a contest for all ages. It can be ecchi, but not hentai. Got it? Good.<br /><br />2) If you submit a work of prose, have a field-day with it. This is a contrast for those who just want to submit something hentai and rule 1 only hinders them.<br /><br />3) You can add Maru or Karla if need be. They're not original Akatsuki members to begin with, <b>but your work will be kicked up a few points if they do happen to be in your submission.</b><br /><br />4) If you're writing or making a picture, it MUST contain this one simple thing. <b>A candy cane</b>. As long as the item is named in the story and is used in some way, the story passes.<br /><br />5) Limit 3 submissions per person.<br /><br />6) ALL THE RULES ABOVE MUST BE FOLLOWED OR YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE PUT IN THE TRASH-BIN<br /><br />7)<b> UPDATE!! You may use your own OC in any fashion, be it fic-wise or in a drawing!</b><br />==============================<br /><b><i>PRIZES!</i></b><br /><br />WOOT!

Just Wow. A very talented artist who blew the top off the rest of the art submitted into the contest! This picture captures how sneaky Hidan can be and how Maru can be so trusting that she's gullible. And Hidan's boxers are just too funny!! 1st place can go to no one else. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />-----------------------<br />2) <a href="http://kalinereine.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kalinereine.gif?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkalinereine:" title="kalinereine"/></a> entry 1: <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4646386/1/Second_Times_a_Charm">[link]</a> <--- WARNING!! HENTAI!!<br />Now here was a nice shock. I never knew someone would've really submitted a hentai into this contest and to be honest, it was one of the few hentai I've ever read. Being a fan of Hidan, this story made me remember how cruel the sexy Jashinist can be. It was pretty well done and had an amazing twist at the end that made me say "aww". 2nd place~ <i... ]]></description>
