So, just in case anyone decides to check here as well, I swear I'm not dead, and I've not abandoned my internet activities. Rather, I've been stuck moving nearly cross country via car trip, and now that we've arrived I've discovered that our internet provider absolutely loathes us (the feeling is VERY mutual) and has kicked me off intermitedly since our arrival. Couple that with major writers block and it all equals a very large ouch for productivity.

But I figured out what was causing the problem, and have fixed it, and am once again trying to do something productive. But it's going slower than I had hoped. As weird as it sounds, with a shorter school day, I'm getting less time to write. But it's coming along, and I've re-worked the outline, so now instead of chapter nine being useless filler, we have a brand new plot device ahead and a new (non-crossover) character to deal with. Yay plot device. Also, complete outline of arc one is done. Working on arc two as well.

I had wanted to mark my return to the internet with a special drawing as well, but it looks like that's not going to work out. I'll have at least one random one-shot to try and make up for that I guess. Not really the same value, but hey, it's something. Maybe that drawing will come later. Like when I have a tablet. Or not. Who knows?

So anyway, long story short, I'm near Nashville, TN, now, so if anyone's going to MTAC in April, a group of friends and I are going as the Trigun Maximum group. From what Gavin said, there won't be much confusion on that level. (I heard it's ninja year, which means Narutards galore. I hope for at least ONE Kurogane. That would be nice.) We'll probably also be there as the YGO-Abridged group, and on the third day, I will probably go as Yukito. Or maybe Gino. I haven't decided yet. Whatever. It's not till April, I still have time. And since I'm not SEWING my costume (Thank God; I feel bad for our Wolfwood; he's actually making a giant cross with scrap metal and everything. No idea how he's gonna carry it, just glad I don't have to. Meryl's even getting 50 little water derringers to tie to the inside of her cape. Me? I'm getting giant... feathers and trying to figure out how to attach them to my arm, shoulder, and face without ruining my coat) I have plently of time to think about it all. Should be fun; I'm really looking forward to it.

I shall be back soon, and once I remember what it was I wanted to post on this in the first place I shall try again. WIsh me luck; I shall do my best. -bows-

Soooooo....

I bought this computer game on gamestop.com, because I've been wanting this game since it came out, about four years ago, and finally decided, what the hell, I'm gonna get it. Aannnnd, since I do (unfortunately) have Vista I was well prepaired to fight with it to get it to work. 

However, I was unprepaired to fight for over five hours and still get nowhere. :/ Finally, I sent an email off to gamestop because I was pissed and still wanted this game, and exactly 24 hours later they send me a response, saying that the download link they give you when you buy the game is incomplete, and you need to click another link they have to send you to get the game to work. I continue to fail to see the logic there.

But, it's downloading the other file now, afterwhich I will probably still need to actually install the game, and then knowing Vista will most likely need more time to fight with the system to allow it to play to begin with, so I see several more hours in my future before any gaming can get done.

Booo. It failed. Again. I'm not sure why I'm surprised. Damnit. What am I supposed to do now? The gamestop people will probably only think I'm stupid if I mail them back again, and this sure as hell isn't working. I think I'm going to go cry in a corner now.

P.S. Yaaaay Shark Week! My once yearly consolation of love that I have found comfort in since I was a tiny child! You never fail me! *shakes fist at Vista*

This is, ultimately, a rejection letter. 

I am sorry to say this, but I am afraid we have grown too far apart and must now go our seperate ways. I am just no longer able to look at you and say you are my fandom. I still like you as a friend fandom, and would like to hope that we are still able to see each other on a lighter level, but I just can't see it working out with you as my absolute fandom anymore. It's not you, it's me. I am no longer able to stand the whining of the rest of your fandom members, and many of the discussions are now doing nothing but making me very angry, and because I'm worried you are now attracting a too stupid level of attention for me to properly deal with and still manage my temper. As a result, I would like to have time to simply step back from each other and once again regroup ourselves and get back into a better frame of mind. I hope that maybe in the future we can try again.

In the mean time, I will be going back to live with my origonal home fandom, Trigun Maximum, which still retains my absolute loyalty due to it's complete awesomeness even over the span of time. Don't worry; I'll still visit you on Wednesdays. Please take this time to regain your own awesomeness and get a good hold over your fans again. I still have faith in you, and will continue to moniter your progress well through the end of your series. Defend yourself, as you still have the wonderful powers of CLAMP behind you. I'm sure you'll be able to pull yourself out of this slump eventually.

In short, Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLES, please tell your fans to stop sucking.

Sincerely,

Bajiijuu. *insert hearts and sparkles*

 Wow, I'm amazed that so many people don't know Legal Drug. D= 


Anyway, I guess I'm just used to the Tsubasa mentality, where crossovers are expected and almost required. I mean, it's an entire series of crossovers. Not a single story arc goes by without a crossover of some kind. Well, if you want to be serious, not a single chapter goes by without a crossover, considering Tsubasa recent-proving tie-ins with CCS. (I totally saw it coming, too! Go me!) I guess I just got used to that. You'll probably hear me saying this again later, but no one seems to listen to me anyway, so maybe if I say it enough it'll get through: I DID say to expect this, in the summary, even! I said, and I quote, with bolds to help, "The Touya/Yukito fic that maybe should have been put under Tsubasa. Will include crossovers galore and an AU, CCS-independent original plot." THIS MEANS CROSSOVERS. With mainly CLAMP series, I'll admit, but I have at least two main, non-CLAMP crossovers planned as well, one of which has already been seen.

EXPECT TSUBASA LOGIC, 'cause that's where I just came from. 

Ah, btw, yeah, just because it's a Touya/Yukito fic under CCS does NOT mean the plot has to be a tiny, fluff-filled thing. It may get pretty bad during arc 2. It's called Eclipse for a reason. :/

Bah, enough ranting! I'm off to check for more CLAMP sketches now.

Well, even though I'm sure no one will check here, I decided to do it anyway. 


My house is very cold. But I guess I'm glad to be back in my own timezone. I'm really pissed that none of my 'friends' listened to me the MANY TIMES I said I was going to be gone and spammed/yelled at me ENDLESSLY for not being here. Guh.

I'm thinking about not posting at the Touya/Yukito comm anymore. I don't think they like me. T_T 

I need to unpack now. Suitcase crap EVERYWHERE. Ew. Dunno what to do after that. 

Edit: Oh! Oh! THIS makes me feel better! Lookit what Wikipedia says!

"The October 2005 issue of Neo (magazine) includes an interview with Masao Maruyama, Madhouse's founder and series planner. In the article he reveals the studio is working on a Trigun Movie that will be released in "a couple of years". The November issue of Anime Insider also confirms this news.

In May 2007, Nightow confirmed at the Anime Central Convention that the Trigun movie was in the early stages of preproduction with a near-final script, although he did not divulge any plot information.

In February 2008, more details about the Trigun movie emerged on the cover of volume 13 of the Trigun Maximum manga, announcing that the movie was scheduled for 2009"

*spazzes* WTH DID NUMBER 13 COME OUT??? D= I WANT!!! I LOVED that book! That's it, it's official! I am now scrounging the internet and collecting info on the Trigun movie! (I heard Nightow-sama himself was helping with the script, and that it was an origonal plot, so hopefully it won't turn out as crappy as the anime did.) GLEEE!!!!

 SUMMER! YAY! *happy dance of a thousand joys* I am so happy to finally be out of school. XD This year I had the WORST CASE of summer fever that I have ever had IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Free time is a Very Good Thing. Summer work equals Bad Thing, though. T_T Life is going good now, though, so I have time to dedicate to Those Things I put myself up to on the wonderful World Wide Web, and I'm finally getting around to catching up on all the series I'd fallen behind on, including my all time favorite fandom. Again. For the nth time. XD Tsubasa has been fun though, recently, I have to admit. I'm really confused as to why everyone else is so confused by it, however. Well, I guess not really. I mean, I get it, but I think it's just 'cause my brain  has been trained to work that way after so long of spacing out. I'm finally looking forward to seeing where it goes now. 


Most importantly, however... Does someone, ANYONE, have a larger version of this picture?



I've looked EVERYWHERE but the largest I can find is a 630x454 version, and since my old computer died all the places I had gotten a bigger version from before have died, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Actually, any of the wonderful Toshimi Nigoshi's work would make me very, very happy. I really want to make a background of this, but.. If anyone wanted to help me, I'd be willing to trade! I lost most of my stuff when my computer commited suicide, but I do happen to know my way around this particular fandom, and I'd be willing to trade what I do have! XD Scanlations links, a new one-shot request fanfic, and.. I say this hesitantly.. maybe even a crappy fan art, if someone wanted one. (Don't know why you would; I have no idea how to color anything on the computer. *sweatdrop*) Anyway, the point is, I want help with this, and I'm not so cheap as to ask for a favor without something in return. XD (I should go mucking about those Japanese fansites again, but... *laziness attack*) 

Edit: Ah... never mind. I found a CD of all my old crap from two computers ago, and, well... *is amused as hell now* I had some funny crap. Seriously funny crap. Oh wikipedia, is it true that the Trigun movie is now officially schedualed for 2009? Can it possibly be? I... would love to believe you, but I'm afraid I won't be a true believer until I see the pre-order on YesAsia.com. /edit

Speaking of which, I should go look for release date info concerning Trigun Maximum chapter 100 and Tsubasa. That had me laughing so hard, even though I was dearly touched. XDD I want to do some fun things with this fandom later, but first I think I need a tablet. And... well... an animation software. >_> 

Oh! Right! Through staring at CCS again, I did somehow end up doing more screenshots, though I only did a few episodes and one of them's not done yet, but I figured, you know... *shrug*



Dawww man... I just not-payed-attention through Jurassic Park 3. My favorite childhood video. I think I want to have a marathon of those now. *shrug*

Well, as it turns out, there are two things that really can distract me quite well from what I was planning on getting done: Bronchitis  and a new puppy.

So yeah, as it turns out, it wasn't a really bad cold or allergies, or maybe it was, but it's not now. I'm honestly very happy just to know what's been wrong. I'm on antibiotics now and it's getting better than it has felt in months, so I guess this is a good thing too. Too bad it had to happen so close to the end of the school year.

The puppy, on the other hand, is a distraction I gladly welcome. I've been wanting him for four years now, and he's just as cute and fluffy and hyper as I had always hoped. He's even litter box trained, wich is a great plus in my book. =D I may have to put pictures of him up later, but the camera's in the other room now and I don't really want to move. XD;; I'm still trying to figure out what middle name to register him under. I just don't think Lord Gino Weinberg Tate works for such a fwuffy little thing, and plus I think the name Weinberg is just silly, so I wanna come up with something else. (I know. Nameing my dog after a character? For shame. But hey, it fits. XD The thing is, I have the horribly feeling Sunrise is going to kill of Gino, in which case I will cry untill CLAMP draws Yukito more often. Or Legal Drug starts again. Whichever comes first.)

Speaking of Code Geass, I have been most amused by the recent.... 'happenings'... of Turn 5, to say the least.



When my Gino stops growing, I can garauntee I will make him a Knight of Rounds uniform for cosplaying on weekends. XD Maybe if I can not be stupid, I can rig up an RC car to look like the Tristen and roll him around in it, if he'll let me. 

Well, I wanted to keep drawing, but since my computer is already up, I think I'll just finish working on the next chapter of Morning Moon. I need to start actually writing again, otherwise my postings will catch up with what I already have done. XD Might not be a good time right now, though, 'cause the doctor prescribed nothing but LOTS of Nyquil, and that does put my brain to sleep.

Ick. I should be doing school work to catch up, but I still have a horrible cough that makes me lack air so much I become light headed, so I felt like nerding it up instead. So, this is what I do. XD

Somehow, I started off on episode nine of CCS and ended up near episode 55, which scares me. XD

Well, not very thorough, but hopefully still amusing. I may be forced to do this more often if I have the time. XDD You can tell I really wasn't going for the plot, but you know. I had fun, what more can I say?

Actually, I did this over Christmas break, so yeah, it wasn't like I completely had absolutely nothing else to do. XD It took a while, but I finally figured out how to work the screenshots on my computer, so I decided to take complete advantage of it, and I just happened to notice that I 'accidentally' left CLAMP in Wonderland 2 running on repeat, and being by myself at home with no one on yahoo, well, this is what happened.

You can obviously tell I tended to favor the sections with the series/characters I personally like the best, so you will most likely be able to guess my favorite CLAMP series shown here. XD I did end up with more, but I wanted to keep this post a nice, even number, so I might just post them later.

=D Massive amounts of pictures ahead, beware.


Well, I didn't bother cropping the red bit off the edges, so it's time to play the guess my OS game! D= Well, that took longer than I thought to put them all on here, so I think I'm done for now. Remember to click on them to get the big version! XD Time for bed now~

Well, this is it!

I've been meaning to start up a new LJ with the Bajiijuu name for a while, so I guess it's about time I actually did. It's nice to finally have a comepletely fandom-obligation free username for once. Plus, no matter where you want to use it, it's never taken! =D

I plan to post here often, and do great things with this journal, and hopefully I will even get my first community post within the week, so wish me luck! Dozo yoroshiku onegai shimasu! *bow*
