Allchange
Hello! Well, it's all change around here! I sense this will be a pretty long post so I'll give you bullet points so you get the picture if you don’t want to read the whole lot! With no more ado, read on!

Ahem...

* I got the job!
That's the Christmas job I mentioned before. It's only for eight weeks but it'll give me a nice amount of money for Christmas. I start on Tuesday and I'm half-nervous, half-excited. The manager is insane. My interview was the weirdest thing I've ever experienced! She was just sitting there on an upturned box, eating biscuits and drinking tea while she complained about how much she hates customers... She really made me laugh! I hope it all goes okay...

* I've FINALLY added a new picture to theOtaku!
And yes, of course it's a Beyblade one! What else would I do for my comeback?! Hehe... It's of Yuriy and Boris and it will be the cover for RONGU Long Vacation. Please go take a look if you have time and please be nice! Here's some little bits of information about it that you might like to know: The book that Yuriy is reading is guide to Japan; There’s references to two Japanese vocalists in there somewhere..; It took roughly five-six hours to paint, I think; It's done in watercolour, but then I added pencil over the top. I think this technique is pretty unique to me...Heh. And that's about it! If you don't like it, that's fine but please don't tell me!!

* My doujinshi's very nearly done!
Well, that is to say that I finished the toning last night. I've got two more pictures to paint and some random little doodles to do before scanning it and doing the lettering. Now that I've got this job it's ruined my plan to get it scanned on Tuesday... Heh. Nay bother - I'll get it done soon. If you know any Beyblade fans who like doujinshi, feel free to tell them about it... Hehe. So cheeky _

* I'm addicted to Ghost in the Shell again!
And if all goes well, you should be able to tell that from my site. The plan is that it'll be Ghostie themed, but it'll probably go horribly wrong. Anyway, Tomyo and I have just finished watching Stand Alone Complex and it's just awesome! I went and bought Innocence on Monday, but it took us three days to watch it... It wouldn't play on either of our PS2s, and then in desperation we tried it on the DVD player that broke a few weeks ago... and it worked. But it stopped playing and broke again fifteen minutes from the end! I was so annoyed! I returned the DVD thinking that it was that that was faulty, but we had the same problem... Our PS2s are very temperamental (They only play certain DVDs), and I knew that but our newer one is getting worse... Anyway, we were frustrated so we decided to watch the original movie again. When it had finished I made Tomyo try Innocence again, and it randomly worked!! So we finally got to see the end three days later! It's awesome. I'm going to get 2nd Gig as soon as I can 'cause I'm just addicted! I love Section 9!! Heh.

* My Christmas doujinshi may still go ahead...
I really want to do it as it has been planned since about May last year! It's kind of a crossover with the one I did last Christmas, and there I two more I want to do over the next two Christmases to make up a set of four. It's pretty ambitious, but... So, I'm going to see if I can get started on it fairly soon, obviously after RONGU Long Vacation's finished! That's been a mammoth project and it's only 46 pages long... Heh. Anyway, if I do start it there's no way it'll actually be finished for Christmas but hopefully it'll be done soon after.

* I really love FAIRY FORE and Tomyo really loves Miyavi!
...there's nothing more I need to add to that.

Jeez, I'm such a fangirl... I often think what a sad loser I must sound like!! Hehe. Oh well, this is theOtaku after all! It's where I belong ^_^

Rightio, I'll be off in a minute but first I'll leave you with two quotes. I heard both of these today and they really made me laugh...

QUOTE OF THE DAY 1: Li Biao - a Chinese percussionist
Li Biao: "Not everything you can hit makes a good percussion instrument."

I tried it on Tomyo and he's right...

QUOTE OF THE DAY 2: This was a synopsis for an episode of Naruto I read in the TV guide.
"Kakashi believes Zabuza isn't as dead as he seems..."

Hmm... People are funny!! I'm going to go and laugh at Tomyo now... See you!!
