Heyo everyone in internet land. I've been missing all of you as I try to get a router so I can have web at home. Until then I've gotta get it from other places such as the library or my parent's houses.

Sorry XD

I've been working lots at the Tim Hortons I work at. They've been giving me 35-40 hours a week so I only get one day off to relax and I don't even get to then since I've got DnD and picking kids up. It's hectic but to be honest I kinda like it. It distracts me from remembering that I'm alone when I'm at home.

Christmas is around the corner and we had our first snow this week here in the mitten state. It's been so cold I have to wear 3 jackets and a scarf. I really need to buy a pair of gloves before I freeze my fingers off lol It's so cold, when I was on drive-thru today, some people had to open their cars because their windows were frozen shut! XD

Speaking of work, I swear to God the most awesome customer came in today.

She walked in, went straight past me and into the bathroom. That happens sometimes so I ignored it, but when she came out the looked at me, rolled her eyes up and made zombie movements and went cooooffffeeeee~
I about died I was laughing so hard. I told her zombies didn't drink coffee and we laughed at each other.

I'm really glad that there's such awesome people in the world cause she really helped make today not be horrible.

Also, speaking of Christmas, Cassie you should be getting yours in about......a week or so?

Mwahahaha

Also! I'm amazingly excited about this piece of information:
Volume 12 of Decendants of Darkness is finally coming out in Japan! I've waited so many years for this moment I almost cried when I saw rubyd's journal: [link]
A little background upon this.
My 3 favorite artists are Yun Kouga, Yoko Matsushita, and Yukiru Sugisaki. If I could just meet one of them and express my feelings of inspiration to any of them, I can die a happy person.
When I was in high school, I picked up Yami no Matsuei when the anime came out in Japan. It was the first show I watched from start to finish and is one of a select few anime/manga in my "trancends favorites list of epic anime and manga". Other titles in this category include Earthian, DNAngel, and Terra E. (I have my reasons shush lol) I started collecting the manga when it was first published here and you could say I was obsessed with it. (I've even got volumes 1-11 in Japanese XD)
When the new volumes stopped coming out, I was crushed, hoping and hoping for this day to come.
And now it has. *soul flys away*
I know it's just a new volume, and Yoko might not decide to continue the series, but I'm still excited nonetheless. It's been more than half a decade since I've been able to get excited about it so I guess I'm just a bit pumped.

Also if anybody hasn't noticed, DNAngel's been releasing new volumes as well. Maybe all the manga artists had a huge meeting and said "OI Let's all finish what we started!"

If so I missed that meeting As I still have 9 stories to finish lol

Also, Strudel Filling volume 1's rough draft has been finished. I'm extremely happy with it and I can't wait to share with everyone. Especially those of you who've stuck with me from the beginning. I couldn't have finished this first hurdle without your continued support and critiques.

I've also started drawing everything traditionally again. Once I get a scanner I can show you all how much I've improved. I really feel bad, especially for my Anime League friends since I can't upload anything new for you guys to look at.

I'm going back to my cold apartment now XD (My window in my bathroom won't close so the icy wind goes right in my house stealing all my heat) I'll talk to you guys next time I can!

Hey everyone, it's been a few weeks again since my last update. Last time was whiny I know but I promise I won't do it again this year! XD

I'm just kinda chillin, waiting for 10pm when I go into work. They've had me on nights a few days these past 2 weeks since so many people have quit at the 2 stores Joe owns. It's not too bad, just a little boring fixing everything up by myself.

I got the cy--uuuutest top at Value Village the other day. I might have to use it someday to cosplay the cheshire cat. Pink/purple horizontal stripes lol I love it ^-^ What's even more surprising is that it's a large and fits me perfectly! It's not even too short in the long sleeves like most larges are! I went there for a black shirt to cut up to wear to City Club, but I'm soooooo happy I found that shirt. I dunno why.

I also got a new bra, but no one wants to hear about that



So I've been working on and off on all my stories again. Volume 1 of Strudel Filling is almost complete, however I'm debating on whether or not I'm gonna rewrite it again and make some of the events happen a bit later, such as Atori and Tyrin's date or the model job. It seems a bit fast paced to be all happening on the same day and that's one thing that's bothered me about the whole story.
My Boi's also getting a rewrite. Possibly into light novel form since it crosses over with Forgotten Angel, which I have almost completed.
My Gurl has been scrapped and Broken Wings has about 1 volume done.

I seriously need to make a list and start with one so I don't get overwhelmed. That's how I end up getting sick of doing everything and take long breaks.

I've gotten a few new manga recently.

Gestalt volumes 1 and 2
Fall in Love like a Comic volumes 1 and 2
Shugo Chara volume 7
Pokemon Green
07-Ghost Volumes 1 and 2

I think I got 2 more but I forget what they are at the moment. I'll get back to ya XD

I just found out Pandora Hearts and Kuroshitsuji are being run in Yen+ magazine, so you know what I'm gonna buy monthly now XD Oh Gilbert I'mma have you in print form yet!

Which brings me to my new favorite character of all time.
GILBERT= [link]
See him and tell me he is not worthy of my love! XD He's just too adorable. XD
He's gonna be my next cosplay project so look forward to seeing me as him at Ohayocon!
It'll probably take until then just to get the gold contacts for him lol

Also! It's probably old news, but there's gonna be a Kuroshitsuji musical.
Watch it and fall to Sebastian's sexiness! [link]
