Well, here we are at another first of the month. Woo-hoo. And this time, I'm getting the update up o the proper day! How clever am I? Haha, don't answer that.
Anyway, without furhter ado, here is a little peek at my 'recent' list:
Beauty and the Beast: One of my Fairy Tail's Fairytales. I am most ashamed to admit that, while I've been re-reading this fic, I've done very little in the way of writing more. I don't know why, but it's not really cooperating at the moment. I suppose it's because I've been so much more into One Piece. It's actually 7,800 words long, which is pretty good.
Compatability: This one is a One Piece fanfic that I've been trying to work on. It's a SmokerXAce fic, mostly centered on how Morgana came to be (Yeay~ M!Preg~!). It's giving me a bit of trouble at the moment, but I'm sure I'll get through eventually. Unfortunately, it's still only 2,500 words long. Bleh.
Dark Prince: This is a really old Stravaganza fanfic I started and have been staring at in the hopes of writing more, but... Ah, well. It's really not very long at all. I haven't even finished the prologue yet... Ugh. It'll probably never get finished, just like everything else on my laptop...
Mutant Rescue: Well, this was seen last month. and since then, it's grown by about 1,000 words, which isn't too bad, I suppose... I don't really have much else to say about this, seeing as I rambled about it last month.
Not as Stupid as She Seems: Ah, this one is a little fanfic I wrote when I was craving some SmokerXAce that wasn't too depressing. It's just a light little piece about Tashigi figuring out that Smoker's sleeping with a pirate, and not just any pirate at that. I might just put it up on DA if Furry thinks I should. The whole thing is only 1,600 words long, but even so, I'm kinda proud of it.
Pheromones: This is another One Piece fanfic, that I'm sure I've mentioned before. I really don't know if I'll eveer put it on the internet because, well, it's a very, very shameless self-insert and really just a way for me to get my hopeless fangirling out of my system. Though, it is a very impressive 7,500 words~ I'm so proud! Teehee. And there's Sanji-smut in there too~ Yeay~
Rebellion: Ooh, this is a new Young Samurai fic I started that I really like. Basically, at the end of the fifth book, Jack thinks about all the friends he's made in Japan and how, if he continues to make more good friends, he knows he'll get home eventually, and I thought: 'What about the friends you've already got?' And that's what started the idea. Basically, all of Jack's friends, and a few of my own OCs, because I'm shameless like that, get together and get organised trying to help Jack to the coast behind his back. It's also another excuse for me to have Tari train Yamato and Akiko and Yori as ninja. It's almost exactly 3,900 words long, which isn't too shabby for me.
Smile For the Camera: I had another look at this recently, but any inspiration I had for Naruto fics has completely dried up, unfortunately. I'm just... not interested at the moment. Oh well, I have One Piece~
The Little Mermaid: Another one of my Fairy Tail's Fairytales. This one has been crawling along, but still advancing a little. It's not quite as long as the other one I've started on, (see Beauty and the Beast at the top), as it's only 6,200 words long. I really need to work out the rest of the plot for that one first... haha...
And that's all for now...
I'm off to watch more One Piece! (I finally reached episode 400!)
Ja ne~

Neglected
I really have been neglecting this poor blog. I feel ashamed.
But, I suppose, the upside to neglecting my blog is that I have actually been so busy working on creative stuff that I haven't had time to update.
Mostly, I've been working on my Next Generation characters. The Fairy Tail ones are... well, halfway complete. I've done most of my favourite pairings: NatsuXLucy, GrayXJuvia, JellalXErza, GajeelXLevy, AlzackXBisca and MacaoXCana. I'm working on RomeoXWendy and trying to work out if I should do HappyXCharle or not. Then my obsession with Freed smacked me in the face and I decided that I'd jump on the bandwagon and pair him with Mirajane just so I could see what he would be like as a father. And last of all, I'm really rather leaning towards LaxusXEvergreen, but loads of people seem to support ElfmanXEvergreen, so I'm waiting to see what all this 'evidence' is that they keep harping on about (I have yet to fully catch up with the anime, let alone the manga) before I make my decision. And last of all, I kept wavering between LyonXSherry and RenXSherry, but I ultimately decided that the Trimens (Hibiki, Eve and Ren) really need to stay bachelors. So LyonXSherry it is.
But the ones I've been paying most attention to is the One Piece ones. Of course, its still a little difficult with the lack of pairings, but I've finally settled on ones that I actually like. Obviously, there's still NamiXPaulie and UsoppXKaya, but I've also decided on ZoroXTashigi (They have one daughter called Kuina) and SanjiXRobin, which I'm officially in love with. It's almost my new One Piece OTP, but unfortunately, SmokerXAce still holds that spot. And I'm ashamed (not really) say that I've included them in my Next Gen. plans. They have one flame-retardant daughter called Morgana (who looks just like Fem!Ace. Heh)
And because I only have two friends who can bear to RP SmokerXAce with me, my obsession with the pairing is slowly taking me over and driving me insane... So I'm going to ramble here for a while. If you don't like gayness, don't read past this point.
Basically, I feel like explaining the story behind Morgana, and how she came to be. I'll admit to having an unhealthy obsession with M!Preg. I dunno what it is about a guy getting pregnant, but it's somewhere between adorable, hilarious and sexy. Anyway, as I say, unhealthy obsession, so whenever I find a gay pairing I actually like, well, I'll look for any excuse to get one of them pregnant. One Piece made it surprisingly easy. The way I figure, Devil's Fruit screw with your body, giving you all these superpowers, especially the Logia ones. And there I am presented with two men with compatible Logias. And seeing as they can turn their body into their element, it even solves the 'OMG how do we get the baby out?!' dilemma.
If you don't like spoilers, don't read beyond here.
So, there you go. Ace is almost always on the bottom, so he's the one that gets pregnant (and a pregnant Ace is very fun to daydream/write/RP about). The way I always imagine it is that this is all going on before the timeskip, and that when Ace is supposed to die protecting Luffy, Smoker pulls them both out of harms way (and then has a go at Ace for being reckless with the life of their kid). After that, obviously, Smoker can't be a Marine any more (though at this point in my daydreaming, he's gotten so fed up of the non-just 'Justice' of the Marines that he really doesn't mind), so he and Ace run away and settle down quietly in Water 7, where Smoker and Tashigi, and a few of Smoker's more loyal men, become sort of... Vigilante Bounty Hunters. But yes, then Morgana is born, and of course, she'd be born a charred skeleton because the only way to get her out is to have Ace turn his stomach to fire and pull her out... Hence the flame-retardant baby. WOOHOO~! She's completely fireproof, and when she was a toddler, Smoker kept on having to pull her out of the fireplace because she rather enjoys sitting (butt naked, as the fireproof-ness doesn't extend to her clothes) in the middle of a roaring fire. (Probably reminds her of the womb. Hurr.)
After Morgana's born, Ace gets a job at Galley-La, because it's the only one he can really get as a wanted man. And of course, being rather skillful, he's soon damned good at building ships and is promoted to Foreman (because, lets face it, after the whole CP9 betrayal, Galley-La really needs some new Foremen). Of course, you can't keep a man like Ace from the sea for long, and Ace and Smoker, and Morgana too, do spend a lot of time sailing the Grand Line, becuase they can, and therefore, Morgana was raised to a life at sea, and she just can't imagine how people can bear to stay on land for any length of time.
Ok, I'm done rambling, those who don't like gayness can start reading again, though there may be some spoilers ahead.
Moving on to another Ace-related topic, when I was looking for pictures of Ace's mom (to get a better idea of what a female Portgas would look like), I found lots of really sweet 'if only' family pics, and spent an hour bawling my eyes out... though, this one did make me laugh:
Ace's Family
Roger got owned. Haha.
Incase you hadn't noticed, I'm in a total One Piece mood, and I'm proud to say I've been watching more of the Anime. But I feel kind of sad because Kuma's just turned up... and this sort of feels like the beginning of the end... Ah! Best not think about it, or I'll end up crying again. I'm gonna be a total wreck when I finally get to the bit where Ace dies... Shit.
No more spoilers. Feel free to start reading again.
Also, I finally got round to looking for some character songs sung by Sanji... and I adore his singing voice. There's two that I found, Moulin Rouge and The Great Blue. With The Great Blue, I can really imagine Sanji on stage at one of those posh uppity restaurants, playing the piano and singing. Excuse me while I go swoon and fangirl over that image. Here's the song:
The Great Blue
Well, I really ought to go watch more One Piece. I still have over a hundred episodes to go. 130 at least... Haha...
Ja ne~

Happy Birthday to The-Other-Me!
All I can say is, my writing took a total flump until a few days ago.
I blame Mary and all the stress she vomits up on every avaliable occassion.
I impressed myself yesterday, writing a whole 2,500 words for TRG in one evening. I think I'm going to set myself a target of 1,000 words a day, excluding weekends, and I've also made a rule that I can't watch more than one Anime episode for every fivehundred words I write.
I doubt I'll stick to it longer than a week or two, but that'll be another 10,000 words in it, so... Whatever. Heh.
In other news, I've been working some more on a Next Gen Harry Potter fic I swear I've mentioned before. Albus Potter, Rose Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy and my OC Zoe Dursley are in the same year at Hogwarts, but all in different houses. Somehow, despite this social barrier, they manage to maintain their friendship all the way through to their fifth year. However, as well as facing their OWLs, they're also faced with the Trials of the Hogwarts Four, which no other student has ever survived in the history of Hogwarts.
I've got all the trials planned out, roughly, I'll admit, but still. It's gonna be good fun to write once I get round to it.
And, finally, I suppose, I feel like telling you all that it happens to be Setari's birthday today. All leap and flail in cheer. I am offically 21 on the internet now~ Woohoo~!
I suppose that's all for now. I don't really have much else to say...
Ja ne~

Next Generation
I would apologise for the long delay between posts, but I doubt either of you who follow this blog are really all that bothered. But still, I feel bad for neglecting this bloog for as long as I have. Bad me. Quite a lot has been going on actually, but I'm not sure I'll be able to remember it all.
Well, first things first. For those of you that don't know, the next book in an amazing series is coming out on the 4th of October, and I'm really not sure I'll be able to wait that long. The Son of Neptune is the second book in the Heroes of Olympus series, which is a follow on of the Percy Jackson and the Olympian's series (five books long). I am so very, very excited and I really, really do not want to wait until October. I actually just downloaded the first chapter of Rick Riordan's website and it really is looking to be an amazing book.
On a related note, I bought the first book of Rick Riordan's other series, the Kane Chronicles, the other day, and have only just started reading it. As you may or may not know, the Kane Chronicles are all about the Egyptian gods (just like PJatO is about the Greek gods, and HoO is about the Roman gods), so I'm not keeping up with this one as I did with PJatO. Either way, it's looking to be a very good read, but I don't really have the time, or the perseverance to read a lot at a time. Still, gotta keep at it.
The other books I bought along with The Red Pyramid (first book in the Kane Chronicles), is the latest Skulduggery Pleasant book, called Mortal Coil as well as The Ring of Water, which is the fifth book in the Young Samurai series, and finally, I decided to look into a new book(or series?) called Time Riders. I haven't started reading it properly yet, but I read the first chapter in the store, and it's looking to be good. Fingers crossed. But still, that means that I now have eight books on my shelf that I haven't read yet. God, got to catch up to myself. (That sounded weird.)
Moving on from books. I spent the best part of today and yesterday working on a little fetish of mine called; Next Generation OCs. I confess, I'm hopeless about it. Quite a while ago I made about 21 Naturo Next Gen. OCs, and since then I've been making little scribblings in my notebook about One Piece and Fairy Tail Next Gen. OCs. Well, I finally started working on them for real, getting it all onto my laptop and such. It's good fun, though Once Piece is difficult, owing to the lack of compatible females (Seriously, Oda-sensei, you're just encouraging the yaoi fangirls!).
Let me start at the beginning, cause I have a feeling I could ramble about this for hours. I'll start with my Naruto NGOCs: Obviously, I worked on the basis that my favourite pairings would happen. Duh. So if you don't like NaruHina, SasuSaku, ShikaTema, NejiTen or KibaIno... then I'm very sorry. I won't go off describing all of the OCs, cause we'd be here forever, but I'll just mention my favourites. First of all, there's Akai, Naruto and Hinata's oldest. When she was concieved, the Kyuubi basically used some of his chakra to transfer himself into the foetus. So... Akai isn't a jinchuriki, exactly, because she kind of is the Kyuubi, in human form and without the Kyuubi's memories. (It was also me poking at the whole Nature VS Nurture thing. Lots of fun.) Then, I guess there's Ryuu and Cho, kids of Neji and Tenten. Both are named after winged animals (Ryuu = Dragon and Cho = Butterfly) because of the whole 'Caged Bird' thing and Tenten's dragon scroll move. Others that are worth a mention are Inoue (Ino's daughter, obviously), Rin and Mei (Uchiha twins), and Shikari (Shikamaru's daughter, duh.)
Then there's One Piece. I feel more like gushing about this one because it's quite small at the moment, because, I say again, of the lack of females in the series. I suppose it started when I fell in love with Nami X Paulie. I decided they'd have two kids, a girl called Bellemere (I know it's kind of over done, but it's so common for a reason. Nami would call her daughter that.), and a boy called Raguna. I got that name partly from FF8, and partly from the Aqua Laguna. After that, I started to think about the other pairings in the series. The only nearly certain one I could think of was Usopp X Kaya, so I worked on that one next. It was a bit of a struggle, but then I suddenly realised... Usopp would call his first son Merry, wouldn't he? After that, I decided not to look too deep into the names I was picking, and just try and pick something that Kaya or Usopp might pick. I got Raphael, and then Rowan and Willow, who're twins.
After that I run out of pairings to work with. The only person, other than Nami or another guy, that I've seen Luffy paired with is Hancock and from what little I've seen of her, I don't like her, nor do I think she's good enough for Luffy. I toyed with Zoro X Robin for a while, but I don't know if I like it or not. Then I thought it might be an idea to pair Zoro with Tashigi. That's one fucked up relationship there, for sure. And it's one I think I like less than Zoro X Robin for real, but if anyone knows any Zoro X Tashigi stuff that could sway me to that pairing, please comment with a link. I toyed for a while with Robin X Franky, too, but I don't know how I feel about that one. Obviously, Brook and Chopper aren't really going to have kids (and if Chopper does, they'll be reigndeer) and that leaves Sanji. I hate Nami X Sanji with a passion (Nami is so not good enough for him), and the only other person I really see paired up with Sanji (other than Zoro, which is a big NO THANK YOU) is that Carmella woman, who is not good enough to even compete with Nami, and that says it all. So... yeah, in short, after I'm done with Nami X Paulie and Usopp X Kaya, I get well and truely stuck (though, there is also Vivi X Kohza, which is cute. Teehee)
Then there's Fairy Tail, which is going to be big. I've got all of Lucy and Natsu's kids, as well as Gray and Juvia's. I'm working on Gajeel and Levi's and Jellal and Erza's right now. It's kind of stressful and stuff, but still good fun. I'm trying not to ramble too much like I did with the One Piece one, so I'm not going to mention any names or anything, or I'll end up doing a fullblown rant.
Finally, there's Harry Potter. Really, JKR did most of the work already, but I've always always thought, contrary to JKR's statement, that Dudley would have a witch daughter, and I thought it would be lovely if she (who I decided to call Zoe) was the same age as Albus, Rose and Scorpius. That way, they're a set. Albus in Hufflepuff, Rose in Slytherin (haha Ron), Scorpius in Gryffindor (haha Draco), and Zoe in Ravenclaw. I'm planning a fic about them and their adventures at Hogwarts, but I don't know if I'll ever really get around to writing it...
And last of all (I think), I have an informal job interview on... tomorrow. And I need a bath. Haha. Fun. But yes, it doesn't really have much to do with my writing, but still, I don't care. I'm kind of nervous, kind of excited and... I don't really know what, except it's happening and it's new and different and... yeah. It's weird, that's what it is. Weird.
Ah, yes. I went to see the latest Pirates of the Carribean movie at the cinema, and it has rekindled myfetish for love of mermaids. Those fucking tails, dude... I nearly jizzed in the cinema.
Aaand one last thing (For real this time... I think), I had a random thought while watching X-men. Wouldn't it be cool to see a One Piece / X-men crossover? So, yeah, I'm thinking about writing about it, but it's only the beginnings of an idea at the moment, so no details.
Yes, I think that's all for now...
Ja ne~

The only nearly certain one I could think of was Usopp X Kaya, so I worked on that one next. It was a bit of a struggle, but then I suddenly realised... Usopp would call his first son Merry, wouldn't he? After that, I decided not to look too deep into the names I was picking, and just try and pick something that Kaya or Usopp might pick. I got Raphael, and then Rowan and Willow, who're twins.
After that I run out of pairings to work with. The only person, other than Nami or another guy, that I've seen Luffy paired with is Hancock and from what little I've seen of her, I don't like her, nor do I think she's good enough for Luffy. I toyed with Zoro X Robin for a while, but I don't know if I like it or not. Then I thought it might be an idea to pair Zoro with Tashigi. That's one fucked up relationship there, for sure. And it's one I think I like less than Zoro X Robin for real, but if anyone knows any Zoro X Tashigi stuff that could sway me to that pairing, please comment with a link. I toyed for a while with Robin X Franky, too, but I don't know how I feel about that one. Obviously, Brook and Chopper aren't really going to have kids (and if Chopper does, they'll be reigndeer) and that leaves Sanji. I hate Nami X Sanji with a passion (Nami is so not good enough for him), and the only other person I really see paired up with Sanji (other than Zoro, which is a big NO THANK YOU) is that Carmella woman, who is not good enough to even compete with Nami, and that says it all. So... yeah, in short, after I'm done with Nami X Paulie and Usopp X Kaya, I get well and truely stuck (though, there is also Vivi X Kohza, which is cute. Teehee)
Then there's Fairy Tail, which is going to be big. I've got all of Lucy and Natsu's kids, as well as Gray and Juvia's. I'm working on Gajeel and Levi's and Jellal and Erza's right now. It's kind of stressful and stuff, but still good fun. I'm trying not to ramble too much like I did with the One Piece one, so I'm not going to mention any names or anything, or I'll end up doing a fullblown rant.
Finally, there's Harry Potter. Really, JKR did most of the work already, but I've always always thought, contrary to JKR's statement, that Dudley would have a witch daughter, and I thought it would be lovely if she (who I decided to call Zoe) was the same age as Albus, Rose and Scorpius. That way, they're a set. Albus in Hufflepuff, Rose in Slytherin (haha Ron), Scorpius in Gryffindor (haha Draco), and Zoe in Ravenclaw. I'm planning a fic about them and their adventures at Hogwarts, but I don't know if I'll ever really get around to writing it...
And last of all (I think), I have an informal job interview on... tomorrow. And I need a bath. Haha. Fun. But yes, it doesn't really have much to do with my writing, but still, I don't care. I'm kind of nervous, kind of excited and... I don't really know what, except it's happening and it's new and different and... yeah. It's weird, that's what it is. Weird.
Ah, yes. I went to see the latest Pirates of the Carribean movie at the cinema, and it has rekindled my
Aaand one last thing (For real this time... I think), I had a random thought while watching X-men. Wouldn't it be cool to see a One Piece / X-men crossover? So, yeah, I'm thinking about writing about it, but it's only the beginnings of an idea at the moment, so no details.
Yes, I think that's all for now...

Monthly Update
Well, it's a day late, and for that I apologise. A lot of thing were not happening yesterday, and I never got round to it. (By that I mean lots of things were supposed to happen yesterday, but there's one certain person in this house that is a lazy, insensitive, unsupportive bitch who can't get anything done.) So yes, here is my monthly little update about what's on my 'recent' list:
Cerys: This here is a Merlin fanfic. It's about a woman called Cerys, who was best friends with Ygraine and Nimue. As the series tells you, Ygraine dies and Nimue is banished for her death. But Cerys vowed to protect Arthur with her life, and has been doing from the shadows since the day he learned to ride a horse. In order to help her protect him, because seriously, one person is not enough to ever keep Arthur out of trouble, she offered to teach girls how to defend themselves in return for their oath to help her protect Arthur. She currently has twelve students. The fics about 3,900 words, which is pretty good for me. Heheh...
Family Reunion: This is an original story about Taye Morgan. (I'm pretty sure I've mentioned him before in this blog.) It was really just an exercise to get me used to writing the characters, but it sort of got bigger than I expected. It's about 3,000 words (my usual, it seems) long, and I only meant it to be like... 1,500 or something.
Kitsune Child: This is a very, very shameless self-insert where Setari basically falls in love with four guys from One Piece. I don't really have much else to say about it. It's mostly from Sanji's perspective, and it's about 3,600 words long,
Mutant Rescue: This here is a Maximum Ride fanfic where my OC, Setari, is the daughter of Marian Janssen, the director of Itex. Setari hates the way mutants are treated, and devises a plan to get as many of them out of the schools as she can. When she was a child she met Iggy and made friends with him before he went blind, but then Marian found out that her daughter had befriended a mutant and forbid her from ever talking to 'it' again. It's lots of fun to write, especially coming up with my own groups of mutants. It's just over 4,000 words long, and it's probably the one I have the most inspiration to work on.
The Dragon's Brood: Well, this fic has grown unbelievably in the last month. Last month it was only 1,000 words long, now it's 4,300. God that makes me so happy! I'm having a lot of fun with it too, and it's quite a challenge to write Dokugan Ryuu in character. I don't have much more to say about this one, just how pleased I am about how much it's grown.
Homicidal Psychosis: I decided to save this one for last, because it relates most to my life at the moment. It's a short little piece about, duh, homicidal psychosis. I completed it, and put it on dA for either of you lovely minions of mine to read:
Homicidal Psychosis
Well, that's all for now. Enjoy my furious rantings above.

London Anime Expo
HOLY SHIT!
I went to the London Anime Expo yesterday with Dagga and Sarah and... HOLY SHIT! It was AWESOME!
First, we had to get to London, which meant taking a train from Banbury to Oxford, and I was kinda nervous, seeing as it was pretty much my first time on public transport without an adult around. But it was actually really fun. Once we were in Oxford, we had to get a coach to London, which took about an hour and a half, I think. I wasn't really paying attention to the time, and I slept half the journey away (even though I reckon I was the one out of us three that got the most sleep the night before. I know Dagga only got four hours sleep). Then we had to take the London Underground from Victoria station to Tower Hill. And this was where I started getting travel sick. Sarah was way worse off than me, though. And finally, we got a DLR train from Tower Hill to the Customs House at ExCeL, or something like that. That made me travel sick as well.
But travel sickness was forgotten completely when we arrived at the Expo. There were so many amazing cosplayers there, I can't even begin to describe how amazing it was. One of my favourites was this trio of guys cosplaying as Luffy, Zoro and Sanji. It was almost possible to believe that those three actually were the characters. (And the guy cosplaying as Sanji was kinda hot. Heheh.) There was also this group of people cosplaying as Eeveelutions, and they were all posing for people to take pictures and stuff. I could go through a whole list of the cosplayers we saw, but I know I'd forget loads, and we'd still be here in the evening talking about it.
Well, then we had to queue up to get our magical wristbands of awesomeness. My back nearly gave out. I swear. We were stood in this mile long queue for way over an hour. There were a few good distractions. Sarah was cosplaying as Tobi and loads of people asked for photos, and even one person cosplaying as Pikachu asked for a hug. There was also this splicer in the que a little ways in front of us, and a Yuffie only a few people in front of us who Dagga started chatting to about FF7.
Then, finally, we got out of the queue of terror, and we finally got inside the Expo at half two (we left banbury at nine. That's five whole hours, and some). Let me tell you. It was so worth the wait. It was crowded and stifflingly hot and so unbelievably awesome. There were stalls all over the place selling plushies and figurines and posters and wall scrolls and props and bags and manga and doujinshi and cosplay outfits and hats and coloured anime contacts and necklaces and other jewellery and anything an anime fan could ever want. There was even one stall selling real swords. There were dozens of katana, and even some real kunai and shuriken, and Asuma's knuckle blades and some wakizashi. Unfortunately, you had to be eighteen to buy one. But no worries, we're going back in October (for Dagga's birthday), and we are so going to the one in 2012 too, so I can buy myself a real katana. Oh, god, I can't wait. I'm so saving up for that. Definately.
Well, moving on from what I couldn't buy, and on to what did. Teehee. First of all, I spent about £15 on a Straw Hat of Power. I HAVE LUFFY'S HAT! Kyaa~! I am so happy about that. I'm going to wear it all the freaking time! I also spent £12 on a Mugiwara kaizoku flag (Straw Hat Pirates flag). I tried to bluetack it to my wall, but it keeps falling down, and I don't want to use pins or anything, cause they'll leave holes in the flag. So I'm kinda stuck on how to get it to stay on the wall... Anyway, I also spent a whopping £30 on an Ace-Hat for Sarah, so we could wander round the Expo as Akatsuki!Ace and Akatsuki!Luffy. Hurrhurr! It was awesome. Sarah got herself a Grell plushie for £15. It's adorable! Then I bought myself a pack of Naruto Shippuden playing cards for £3, which is awesome. There's two cards with Gaara on (Kyaa~!) and quite a few with Itachi on (KYAA~!). And finally, I bought a Gaara poster which was about £4, I think. (GAARA-KUUUN~! KYAA~!). I'm not entirely sure about what Dagga bought because she decided to be antisocial and wander off on her own. But I know she bought a hat with bunny ears on and a Vampire Knight cosplay outfit, which was sexy. She also got a Tsubasa messenger bag, I think.
After that exhausting but exhilarating three hours, we headed back, on the DLR which made me travelsick, back onto the Underground, where we got a little lost. It wasn't bad, but the DLR had taken us one station further than we thought it had, so we got to Victoria station earlier than we thought. Then we had to find the right coach to get us back, and we did, right as it was pulling out of the station. So we had to wait another half hour for the next one. Sarah was feeling travel sick and hungry, Dagga was tired and hungry, and I was just plain old hungry. Finally, the coach turned up and we got on. It. Was. Hell. The buss was way too hot, the air-conditioning was blowing out hot air, and there were no openable windows. And, of course, the heat only made the motion sickness that much worse. I tried to sleep again, but it was too hot to sleep properly, so I just dozed occasionally. The one time I did actually drift off to sleep I had a weird dream where Chopper was taking my appendix out and Sanji was perving on me in the bath. Finally, we got back on the train taking us back to Banbury, met Dagga's mum outside the station, and got dropped off back home at about ten in the evening.
Then we pretty much just stuffed some hastily made dinner into guts, then colapsed into bedand slept all the way through to the morning.
I'm almost certain that despite the three hour long journey there, and the same back, and the good hour or two in the queue, it was the best day in my life so far. I have never had so much fun before, except perhaps when I went to Disneyland Paris when I was little, but even that doesn't compare to an Anime Expo. Nu-uh. Anime Expo pwns Disneyland without question.
I've got to find a way to get more money for October... and I've gotta keep about £160 for 2012 when I can get a katana~! Can't wait!
Ja ne~!

Internet Trouble
For the last couple of days, my internet has been messing about a lot. That has made me reluctant to turn on my laptop at all, which, of course, results in me not writing much either. Still, I've started a Maximum Ride fanfic which, I admit, is a bit of a shameless self-insert which fullfills my dreams of rescuing all the mutants from the School(s) and giving them a safe place to stay.
Moving onto a happier note; I found an Open University course that's very cheap, short (which is good for me because I'm easily distracted and have comitment issues), and dedicated to Creative Writing. I'm especially looking forward to the last segment of study, which introduces you to the world of publishers and publishing. Really, I can't wait.
Me and Sarah have been reading some of the Harry Potter books aloud. It's good fun, and a nice way to reread the books. We started with book 3, the Prisoner of Azkaban, and now we're reading book 5, the Order of the Phoenix.
Also, I've been reading a 'the cast reads the books' fanfic about Percy Jackson and the Olympians, written by this author on fanfiction.net who does a lot of those 'the cast reads the books' type fics:
Percy Jackson's Myth
She's done the Harry Potter books too, with the six guys who went to the Department of Mysteries (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna) as well as James, Lily, Sirius, Remus, Alice and Frank, I think. She's also done the Twilight books, but I'm not going to touch that with a ten foot barge pole.
jlmill9
On another note, I bought the fourth Young Samurai book the other day (Along with The Atlantis Complex, which is finally out in paper back, and 13 Curses, the sequel to 13 Secrets. Is looking to be a good series). I haven't had a chance to read any of them yet (though I've already read a friend's copy of The Atlantis Complex (Artemis Fowl book 7) so I don't need to read that one), but I can't wait.
Well, I figure that's about all from me for the moment. I'll try to update soon.
