Oh! By the way. A Lucky Star OVA has been green lighted! Yay~ No one knows what it'll be about or anything like that yet though.. But, they'll probably release that info soon. It'll either be really crappy and just tie up loose ends (show stuff that happened in between episodes and stuff) or it'll actually feed the need for the end and show what happens for the rest of the day that the girls are in high school. That's my ideal OVA anyway.. I'd probably be satisfied either way.

On a side note, I went to the dentist the other day. Turns out I have impacted wisdom teeth.. Like, horribly impacted. I mean, my top wisdom teeth were practically growing horizontal to my teeth. The X-ray was like a nightmare! The dentist there said she wouldn't touch them, but she got me a REALLY good referral! She got me someone who would pull all of the teeth for only $350. Considering that they usually charge 1k per tooth, that's really lucky.

And~ I bought Okami for the Wii a while back. I couldn't help it. I'm starting to think I need more of a challenge now that I've beat it for the PS2 about 6 times, and I've gotten anything and everything there is to get, as well as come across a few glitches and such. So now, the next step is to naturally conquer it on the Wii. xD The picture is MUCH more clear, and the load time is better as well. The controls are going to be a little difficult to get used to, but I'll get the hang of it. Overall, I would recommend it for any Okami fan. ;D

Anywho, that's all that I can think to type right now. I'm off to play "Motteke! Sailor Fuku" until my ears bleed now. Bye bye~

And the new Adventure mode is like.. Out of this world. And in case anyone was wondering, Mai Otome S.ifr is airing in Japan now. Not sure when they release new episodes, but episode one is out which you can watch on Veoh (haven't bothered to check YouTube, yet). So, my birthday is coming up March 19th.. I'll finally be 18. The first thing I'm going to do is make an appointment for myself on the 29th so I can set up surgery for my leg. I really hope that they don't have to keep me awake for something like that.. I'd be utterly horrified.

Annnd St. Patrick's day is almost here! Which explains alot of things about my dreams. I've been having nightmares about snakes biting me and people I know. And these dreams are like.. Extremely vivid. In one dream when a snake bit me on the hand, I tried pulling it off with it's fangs still in, and I saw the skin tear and stuff. >< I dunno, maybe I should have been Catholic.

Anywho, that's all I can think of to type right now.
Bye for now.

Anywho.. Sorry again for not being up to par with the fanfic/color fills from Doropanda/and my own drawings.. Which I haven't done any in what seems like forever. I have alot of work that I have half finished though, including a new chapter, Dev ID, and a piece of work for Nao's Birthday. (The last one can be expected on June 13th. xD) I've also been doing some AMV's lately as well. So, yeah. If you're interested, look me up on YouTube...

Thanks for understanding, everyone!

It was now 7AM and I decided to make Shannon breakfast in bed. Then.. It happened... KATHUNK KATHUNK KATHUNK. I thought.. "What the hell is that?" KATHUNK KATHUNK SLAM. It sounded like someone had thrown a rock inside the dryer. After about 2 minutes, I decided to check it out. I opened up the dryer and started skimming through the laundry. Nothing. So, I started searching pockets.

And there they were... Shannon's jeans that she had worn the previous day.. It was like a horror film, I tell you! I felt along the pocket and felt something.. Square. I reached in and I immediately knew what it was, "... No."

I took it out, and in my hands sat my poor defenseless SP, covered in lint and equip with Final Fantasy IV. Just then... I believe the life in my face was spirited away. I quickly turned it on, expecting to see gibberish show up on the screen... Instead, like music to my ears, "BLING!" and the Gameboy logo shot up!

I felt like wanting to cry as I wiped off all of the lint and took out the cartridge. After about 30 minutes, I started thinking, "Oh no.. I wonder if the saves had been wiped off?", 'cause that's usually what happens. If the game still works by some bizarre miracle, it won't be able to save anymore anyway. So, I shoved it into my Advanced and low and behold, the saves were still there! And the SP: the only thing that changed was that the light is a bit dimmer.

Ahh~
Nintendo.
My passion for you has re-kindled big time.

I slipped and fell at work, getting a serious injury. Two managers saw it happen, and I reported it to another within the 60 day period. No one did anything, all of them knew it was my 'first job', and I was never informed about workers comp. So now I'm stuck paying all my hospital bills, and I'll probably need surgery to correct the problem (they think it's a torn meniscus). I'm in pain everyday, and some days it's hard to walk. Shannon even had to get me crutches. xD

Anywho, just wanted to let you know that even though I had something bad happen to me, it's giving me time to write. So, expect a chapter very very soon (hopefully, I haven't lost my touch). =3

I've been put on a 41 hour week starting Sunday. There's a lot of 9 hour shifts, which means I'm going to want to die after this week is over. But, thankfully, I have 4th of July off. The holiday isn't a big deal to me, but I know that a lot of people wanted it off. So, I got lucky.

I heard from my Grandma the other day, and apparently, my mother is back with her boyfriend. Which means she's more than likely back on heroine and cocaine. I'm pretty sure he's beating her and controlling her as always... When hearing this, I was going to pack up my shit and go down to FL with a couple of my buddies to get my stuff out of there before she like.. Sells it for drug money or something. And also, try to talk her out of it all.

But the next day, when I was about to reel my plan into action, she called and told me she was going to leave in a week to go to Maine. Though I highly doubt that, I don't want to show up at her house and not be able to enter.

Anywho... I love Shannon. I always will. I fall more in love with her everyday. And, I love you all as well! I'll try to add a chapter of 'The Siren's Game' as soon as I can. D;

Love ya, guys.

At first I was rather slow about getting everything done... Since it requires hard labor and this would be my first job.

But... I've gotten a bit faster now, so I've had them increase my hours. I now work Wednesday to Sunday, and just in the nic of time. I've calculated that with my pay and Shannon's pay, (minus luxury expenses, groceries, debt pays, car payments, etc. and plusing the money that we can get on our birthdays and christmas, as well as the tax return) I've come down to the fact that her and I can buy a trailer at about $24,000 in about 14 months give or take.

It could be faster if I get a better paying job, and the both of us got a second job... And if we took going to the movies or out to eat out of the estimate. But, I'd rather not just because I know how the two of us are. So yeah, it'll suck for a year give or take a few months here and there, but I'll own my own trailer at the age of 18. Not to mention a car!

Shannon has a Lumina that needs an engine.. And my uncle sent me $2500 not long ago. Unfortunately, I spent $100 on an ab lounge, $100 on rolly chairs, about $550 on two desks for Shannon and I along with a bookcase, about $200 in groceries, and $200 in a washer and dryer... (Most of the stuff was needed, but still. I swear I was ass raped down the line.)

Anywho, I have about $1300 left of that money. The engine only costs $400, but unfortunately the cars also needs seals, and the labor to install the engine and take care of that is horrible on my budget. Can you say $1600? Gawd.

So, yeah. There you have it. I only have two days off in a week, I'm basically broke no matter how you look at it, and I'm constantly tired. xD If you got any tips on how to get rich quick, now would be the time to dish them out to me. <3

Love ya, guys.

Well, I got about $100 from my mother, $25 from my g-ma (lawl), and I'm going to be getting 2.5k from my uncle soon. He's been saving up since the day I was born.. He was going to wait until I was 18, but I think now is good enough. I'll probably put it into buying a car so I can actually get a job and not have to worry about transportation.

I'm probably going to blow the $100 on whatever.. $50 on buying a glass vase-type thing from Wal-mart, some gravel or river rocks, a few aquatic plants, and then buy 4 African Dwarf Frogs for it all.. (I'm starting to feel like a hoarder. But without a dog, that's what happens. xD) And probably 2 more female Anole's to see if I could get some breeding going on.

The other $50.. I'll definitely spend on Magna Carta for my girlfriend. She wants it so bad, it's hard to pass up the opportunity. ^w^ So glad she doesn't come onto dA.. xD

Wish me luck.
;D

We ended up getting three Betta fish and had them each housed in their own vase with pieces of a Pothos vine. The first one we got was Poseidon, who was, what do you know, blue! And we got him color coordinated rocks (blue). Then, soon after, we got a gold and a crimson fish and gave them the names Zeus and Hades as well as give them color coordinated rocks as well.. Poseidon and Hades are doing wonderfully, but unfortunately, Zeus died within the first week. xP

Anywho, we finally found a place that would except a small dog.. But I would need my mother to move in with us to have a second income to keep it up. The bad news is, I can already tell that she's going to flake... 'Cause she doesn't seem to understand how impossible it is to find a place that will allow a dog here. It's either "Cats Only" or "No pets".

The good news is, I finally got my Social Security card so I can start applying for work. I'll probably end up working constantly so I can have a damn dog.. >< Without one, I'm going psycho. (No, really. It's a psychological problem I seem to have. Too emotionally attached to dogs or something...)

What's making it worse is that my mom has officially given away my dog... You know, Boo. My dog that I love dearly and asked her to look out for until I had a place to keep him. Yeah, that dog. Member how I said she let a lady who just lost her own dog watch after him? Well, apparently, they're both getting attached to each other. So, after mourning/crying for Boo for about 2 months straight, I've finally just decided to say "fuck it" and get a puppy of my own. One that my mother won't give away for once. =/

I'm hoping for this one Wire Fox Terrier that I've seen for a few months now in a pet shop I applied for, but considering both the male and female have been there for a while, they might be gone by the time we have a place.

Either way, wish me luck!

No matter what I did, the eggs didn't last. Whether there was an issue with the misting, or the food, or the heat, I always screwed up. When figuring this out (like last month) I began investing to get a new pet. I walked down the hall outside and noticed a 20 gallon fish tank sitting outside of my neighbor's apartment. So, I knocked on the door and asked if I could have it, and she said 'sure' right away. She even offered to clean it for me (that's a little too nice, don'tcha think?). So I brought it home and cleaned it in the shower with some Comet, bought some gravel, used the left over soil I had from "breeding" the crickets and basically waited until we could get more money to invest a bit more before buying the lizards.

Took us about 2 months, but we finally got everything in there (mostly thanks to my hard work and my grandma's $150 birthday money.... Oh yeah, Shannon picked out the um.. Lamp.. Yeah. She helped.) Well, PetSmart's shipment came in and we got my little Green Anole lizards. Got a male and female who's names are clear in the title, also got mealworms for them. xD I almost felt like a little kid. I ran in, misted the area, turned on the lamp, put them in the tank and just sat there and watched them... Yeah, right. I watched them for about 5 minutes then took Donatello out and watched him change colors. (Either I'm too warm for him or my grin was scary).

Anywho.. I'm very happy with my two little lizards. And I hope to get another female or two tomorrow.. Or a Venus Fly Trap.. I haven't made up my mind yet.

.. I still want an Iguana though. ;-;
Thanks for reading!

I would want to go to PetSmart today, but it's pretty impossible. Shannon went back to school (as if she wasn't exhausted enough working full time for work) so she's hardly going to have time to spend with me. Except for the usual weekends of Saturday and Sunday. She promised me tomorrow though..

By the way, this Saturday I had started on The Siren's Game Chapter 8.. I think it was 8. I should be done by tomorrow. Oh, and a warning to all of you gamer's out there.. Don't ever rent or buy "Rule of Rose" for the PS2. IT IS THE WORST VIDEO GAME ON EARTH. The gameplay sucks, the story line is all right, it's confusing as hell, and just is not worth the 40 dollars. Wait until it goes down to 5 dollars if you're interested.

I still don't have my computer here. My mom is treating it like a chore to send it. She had left Florida to travel the U.S. with my dad's friend, leaving my dog and cat with people she doesn't even know. The one who is taking care of my dog, Boo, is already getting attached. In fact, the first thing she said was, "Oh, he looks just like my dog who passed on!" ... Right. And now my mom is saying that Boo is getting attached. It'll still take a while until I can get a job to get another apartment, too. So I might just have leave Boo with her and take my cat.

Speaking of which, Shannon got me my GED studying book the other day. Time to study my ass off so I can work! Already figured out what I want to do as well. Not only for work, but for my life. I'm going to apply to PetSmart to be a dog groomer! They'll pay for the month of training as they send me off to D.C. Then I have to work as a dog groomer for 2 years at PetSmart, and I can become certified. By then, Shannon and I can move to Maine and get our life started. She's double majoring right now, so I still don't know what she'll choose. Either way, life is good.

Thanks for reading everyone.

... Right.

So we gave up on the idea. But today I tried to call management and get the true lowdown on what I can do to get my god damn $200. She said that I would need the receipt from my mother and I would only get the money back if she paid in CASH.. Knowing my mother, she paid with a credit card. So, I'm screwed. And cold.

On a lighter note... I'm creating my own religion. It'll take me about 10 years before I'm finished and can make it legal/official. But, hey. Tis a start, right? On another down note: I'M GOING CRAZY. The apartment that I'm living in doesn't allow animals.. And I'm just about the most animal based person you will ever meet (canines most preferred). But I found out that I could keep a bird or a fish.. Unfortunately, I don't believe in keeping those two specific animals in cages/tanks and neither does my girlfriend. But then a thought came to mind.. What about to turtle? HURRAY! We still don't really have enough money for one this month.. But we will for sure next month.

Anywho, thanks for reading this ridiculous rant..
Make me feel better. Pity me.
;-; <3


Love you all,
Ringo~

I know you were all looking forward to the next chapter, and I basically just crushed your dreams on that. But, trust me, I wouldn't made that epilogue if I knew how tight of a corner I had backed myself into. That story was MEANT to go somewhere, it's why I had so much crap going on around Shizuru and Natsuki. Unfortunately, I'm too busy with the other fic and all of the artwork I want to work on that I don't have time to really sit down and think about where I wanted to go with that story. So, I'm sorry. I hope you'll all forgive me and give The Siren's Game a chance if you haven't already.

So, I downloaded photo shop the first time, and it worked wonderfully.. But then I noticed that the colors weren't reading right. (I got a dark red-ish yellow when I wanted green.) So, slightly annoyed, I removed photo shop and re-downloaded it. Bad mistake. From then on, whenever I tried to open a file (anything, really) it would say that there was an error and that it couldn't open anything. By now, I'm seeing red. I tried re-downloading it over 7 times, doing disk clean-ups and de-fragmenting, going through virus scans and deleting anything that looked suspicious. Nothing worked!

So, I gave up. Then my girlfriend wanted me to re-download Adobe Reader 'cause it seemed to magically disappear.. (secretly, I was the one who deleted, but meh). So I went to do that.. And it's not downloading.. ARRRRGH.

Then, I wanted to listen to music. Figured it would cool me down. I push "play".. Error pops up. It says something is wrong with the sound mixer (says I don't have one). I try to open volume control... Then it tells me it doesn't exist..

I'm starting to hate computers.

( And I'm still working on a few Okami submissions ) I'm trying to finish the next chapter of "Waiting" but, as I said before: I'm expirencing very horrible writers block.

On a side and very depressing note..

Choose your twelve favorite characters, then answer the questions underneath. Do not look at the questions beforehand.


1) Natsuki (Mai HiME + Mai Otome)
2) Blue (Wolf's Rain)
3) Osaka (Azumanga Daioh)
4) Chikane (Kannazuki no Miko)
5) Shizuru (Mai HiME + Mai Otome)
6) Sei (Maria-sama ga Miteru)
7) Haruka (Mai HiME + Mai Otome)
8) Sakaki (Azumanga Daioh)
9) Ed (Cowboy BeBop)
10) Hatsuki (Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito)
11) Yumi (Maria-sama ga Miteru)
12) Toboe (Wolf's Rain)




1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11?
Hm.. Yumi or Sei.. I would have to go with Yumi. She's alot more serious. xD

2. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?
But of course. ;D Very.

3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Toboe would probably send Sakaki on a mission to get that one chick in episode.. 3? To like him. She would most likely be distracted by a cat and would never be seen again.

4. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
Ed.. Hm.. "Advanced Hacking"

5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Um.. Wouldn't make sense.. But I suppose Blue could come to a situation where she would to Sei. And Sei could happen to fall in love with Blue. So.. It could go either way? But that's only if you wanna get screwy. xDD

6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Um.. I'm pretty sure Shizuru would pick Natsuki. xD But seeing how she isn't in the choices.. Hatsuki would remind her of Natsuki (one letter off, OMG). And I think Ed would annoy her.. So, yeah, Hatsuki. ^^

7. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Blue, Haruka and Toboe.. I doubt they would care where they went. Maybe just a booth at McDonalds. As far as discussing, I can't really think of what Toboe and Blue would have in common with Haruka. xD They would most likely just have to sit and listen to her ramble about Shizuru.

8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Osaka and Hatsuki..? WAHAHAHAHAHA! Hatsuki would just stand there and watch Osaka trip and bust her ass. xD

9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would she get it back?
If Natsuki took Sakaki's.. Cat I'm guessing? I don't see Sakaki really doing anything but begging Natsuki and getting angry. I havn't really seen Sakaki as the type of person to slug someone.. And I doubt she would land a punch on Natsuki.. ~ -swoon- <3

10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
"Walk through paradise and revenge of the crazed blonde"

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Good question.. Hm.. Something Natsuki and Chikane would work together for.. Chikane is good at everything, and Natsuki would probaly just need help with solving a problem or uh.. Homework assignments. xD So would tutoring be a good answer?

12. If 7 visisted you for the weekend, how would you get along?
I don't think Haruka and I would. =/

13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
I can't think of anything she could do. ._.

14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
Not that I know of.

15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
If Blue had to choose between Chikane and Shizuru.. I'm thinking she would go for Chikane. Can't think of a reason as to why so.. Next question!

16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
"HATSUMI!!"

17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would it be?
The only one I can think of would be "You and Me by Lifehouse"

18. 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
They're all pretty headstrong. But I think Natsuki and Sei would be polite enough to let Toboe have it.

19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
I don't see it happening but.. How about "Nice shoes, wanna fuck?" xD

20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Murder. <<

21. What is 6's secret?
Don't believe she has one. That she loves Yumi? =3

22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Yumi's school believes you should walk, not run. And Ed has ALOT of energy.. So I vote Ed. x)

23. 3 and 7 tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
Probably Haruka.
