   OK - having some trouble with my background, but I'll get it to work I'm sure. Heh, today was England's first game in the European football (read 'soccer', if you must) championship (or whatever). I said they'd lose 2-1, and guess what, they did! ^_^ y'know, the England football team is about the only thing the English get patriotic about, but I've never been into football. It's just boring compared to motorbikes ^_^

Speaking of which.. this is me! Yay! (That is, if the pic works).

^_^;; please don't hurt me...
Hey guys, I realise that I've not been updating my site a whole lot recently. I'm really sorry! Thanks for keeping visiting, I admire your optimism.

Anyways, lets see - quite a lot's been going on at the moment. I finished my exams (thank god), don't know how I did but hopefully OK.. My parent's business (Grunt Powersports Limited) has suddenly become serious (i.e. people are actually buying stuff) so I've been doing some designs and things for that. It always takes longer than I expect to finish up a t-shirt design, especially as they keep wanting me to change bits ^_^;.

Friday was pretty good - went on another motorbike trackday ^_^. I went faster than I've ever been round that circuit (local track) - I even scraped the footpeg on the ground round a hairpin bend! I'll have to get some proper leathers with kneesliders, or I'll end up shredding things.. The whole bike thing is going well right now actually. I'm gonna join a club so I can do some racing (looking forward to that), and I should be able to get some nice kit from the business ^_^

Oh yeah! I've sorted out my Japan trip (finally) ^_^ !! Booked a flight out to Tokyo for the 21st of August. It's a while to wait, but it was cheaper to book early (if £500 return is cheap..). I'll be going for 10 days, just me and Akira. So I don't have to speak fluent Japanese, and I can stay at his friend's house ^_^. I can't wait to go! I hope that there will be a lot of hot Japanese boys on the beaches.. ^_^

Well, that's about it. Phew! Long post, huh ^_^;; . Serves me right for not putting stuff up more regularly. I hope to be submitting some more fanart soon btw, so please keep a look out! Thanks for your patience - I'll get around to your sites tomorrow, I promise. Ja ne!

OK let's see now.. not seen a lot of anime recently -_- Sci-fi don't do midnight showings anymore, so I'd have to get up at 5:00am to see any anime there. That's not gonna happen.. Watching all the stuff on Toonami I guess (y'know, Teen Titans, Ultimate Muscle, Dragonball, Big O, Outlaw Star when it's on..) but most of them have gone back to earlier episodes (hate it when that happens). Gonna buy the 2nd Hellsing DVD when I can be arsed to go into town.. Still no new Tenchi manga in the shops (have to be imported from USA -_-). You know the original Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki OVA has only just begun to be sold in my anime shop?! Dunno when we'll be getting GXP or the movies or the 3rd OVA.. Luckily I've got the first OVA and Universe boxsets, so I think I can cope ^_^ And the whole first manga series too. And the first 3 volumes of the newer manga, and a "Sasami special" manga. But even so.. more Tenchi please!

Okies - need to get FLCL DVDs (eBay, I guess) and Rurouni Kenshin, and Inu-yasha. I think I can get Inu-yasha manga in the UK, but I dunno 'bout the others. Still determined to find "My neighbour Totoro" somewhere..

Right, that's about it (phew!). Sorry about the lack of structure, but I'm in a rush.. gotta do some revision and get out on my motorbike ^_^

See yas!

   my life currently balances to a smilie...
The Good: I just got Spirited Away and the first Hellsing DVD ^_^ !! I wanted Spirited Away for ages, and this new film, Helsing, reminded me of the anime.. it's darker than most of the stuff I get but the artwork's cool and the music's great! And I do like the story and characters ^_^

The Bad: I've started my exams.. I hate revision, and I hate exams T_T. I can't go out for the next few weeks now..

The Ugly: Goku ^_^ . What? He is, and I can't think of anything else, OK? I just wanted to do the good, bad, ugly thing, alright?

Anyways, nothin' more to say.. so Ja ne! ^_^

   aww, you guys.. ^_^
Man, I just went round a few of your sites, and just reading your posts and looking at pics and stuff has really cheered me up. It's great when people just being themselves and talking about their interests and plans can make me smile so easily. I'm so glad I'm a member here.. *sniff*.. you must understand this is very emotional for me. Thanks ^_^

OK. Sorry to drop this on you guys, but things aren't going so well right now, and it helps to write it down. Basically, my step-dad's dad is in hospital, and he's going to die soon (most likely). That's not the worst thing though - my step-dad (Jay) used to get on really well with his dad (Tony), until Tony and all the rest of his family became born-again christians. They put a whole load of pressure on Jay, basically screwing him up for life. Tony being in hospital has brought this all up again, so Jay is seriously depressed. It's making all of us feel like crap, 'cos there seems to be nothing we can do. He's thinking of leaving because he thinks he's pointless and only causes us problems, but it's not his fault and we love him and don't want him to go. Everyone's miserable.. I keep having these stomach cramps and I can't motivate myself for college, and my exams being right on top of me now doesn't help.

OK, thanks for bearing with me through that. I appreciate it ^_^; I'm trying to be positive, so on the bright side of things I saw my Japanese friend Akira over the weekend, saw Kill Bill 2 (yay!) and I've started working towards my motorbike test. So not everything's hell. I watch my anime and that makes me happy again. Ja!

Eheh, I just realised - with the changes to MyOtaku, I can't seem to hide my quiz results.. I just looked at the page, and it's kinda embarrasing to see how many I've done - and the results I got ^_^;;

   Laziness
Heh, I'm sorry that I haven't been doing much recently. I have a whole load of excuses, but the main reason is.. I'm lazy! I'm gonna try to get on here more often. Actually, I'm still trying to get the hang of all the new changes to MyOtaku. Good thing I learnt a bit of HTML 'cos otherwise I wouldn't be able to use my favourite colour ^_^

Anyways, see yas when I can ^_^! Ja! (if the pic works, it's just random ^_^)

Hey guys. It's been so long since I updated that I was feeling really guilty.. so, even though it's the middle of the night, I'm just gonna put this up.

I guess nothing really interesting has been happening recently, just been working (a lot). However, I have just got my new graphics tablet, so I should be able to do some decent computer fan art now (or at least, I have no excuses for doing bad stuff). Other than that, the only thing I can think of is a spell of good weather we've been having. Spending some time in my garden is helping to relax me a bit.

Oh yeah, and I got an A grade on my geography coursework, and my recent report is good. So that's helping me relax some too.

Hopefully I'm gonna have some real free time during next week, so I'll be submitting more work and visiting your sites a bit more! I've been round, but not left comments.. Gomen nasai!

Anyways, ja ne! ^_^ I have to sleep..
