university, bleach. samurai deeper kyo, and hikaru no go.

[naanima]

Three mugs of STRONG black coffee (no sugar, no milk, consumed in the time span of an hour). Have been awake for 30 hours... and counting.

Have some good news and some bad news. Good news: I have been accepted by a University to do my commerce degree (second one). Bad news: I will be going to Curtin. No more cats time *sigh*

Have Bleach volume 10!!!!!, read Bleach volume 10!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! The series owns my soul. NEED MORE!!! Want to see this animated, but if Gonzo pick up the right I'm gonna throw a fit. Need to see the fights, the colours, need to see the major arse kicking. Need MORE Shinigami captain screen time, yes they do.

Otherwise, finally finished watching Samurai Deeper Kyo. I'm terribly in rabu with Sanada Yukimura, yes I am. Have obsessive urge to rent all of the manga (currently 20 volumes+) from WingLong. I like manga with samurai and ninja themes, yes I do. I like it that much more when historical characters appear in the series where their personalities, their dreams, their emotions and their determination is bigger than life. Yukimura's character is that and so much more complex, I rabu! Does ANYONE have the SDK manga scanlations?!! Anyone?!!! perseid? eirivan? nekomancy? anarch_kitty?!! Anyone!?

Re-read all of Hikaru no Go. I'm reminded why I fell so madly in love with the series that I bought the whole set, and why I cried when Sai finally left. WAHHHH Sai... WAHHHHH Hikaru. Also, after re-reading the series (up till 6am in the morning) Hikaru and Akira is the OTP!!I have an urge to watch all of the anime... chibi_rat, can I borrow your HnG anime?

Need sleep. Hormones out of wack, feeling shit, walked into walls, almost twisted my ankle and the headche that won't end has decided to take camp in my brain. Also slightly depressed about this year. Fuck. I think I'll go and drool over Bleach

wah. awwww won't see u around much then :(

SDK scanlations have up to vol 5 (ch 36)
i think that's where Omanga stopped scanlating because it got licensed or something?
unless some other group picked it up...

sorry, with HnG u'll have to wait a bit...till yuek har gets back >_>
i might have the new HnG special soon ^^ depending on when they finish subbing it...apparently its supposed to be like ~90mins long i think

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Yeah!!! HnG special ^__^ Happiness! I have hard good stuuf about it, altho i'm still rather blur on whether it's set around the Hokuto Cup storyline. (stupid Yueks, should have returned them to you before she left).

Hmm... SDK, must get the first five volumes off someone. This always happens, I leave one obsession (usually long series consisting of 20+ volumes) and I seek another equally long series to obsess about. Must read SDK!

And I wanted to stay at UWA as well *sigh* Oh well, there's always meeting up in the city or Mirrabooka ^__^

*rabu rabu*

[anarch-kitty.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh, sweetie, we will NOT forget you. Tho Curtin be in whoop whoop for some of us, but hey, we're also mobile so we will have to make cats time. Besides, PerSeid is living in that end of the woods. ;-)

But what about second round offers? Do you get to wait for those too?

[amei.livejournal.com]

Woah dude, spending time in the South! It's not all bad =)

Best of luck for that ankle. ><;;;

Re: *rabu rabu*

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Oh. ak *sniffles* I RABU U *huggles* She does? *perks up* it means more manga chat ^__^

Second round offers happens in Feb, unfortuantely I need to enroll by the 27th of Jan or I lose the spot at Curtin, and I really don't want to wait till second round and not get UWA, and instead end up at the Joondalup campus (ECU). So, being the safe person that I am I'll be taking the offer to Curtin.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose I'll be close to people who live up there ^__^ And I do like the a few of the restaurants up there. Yes, they have yummy food.

It's okay now, it was numb for awhile but now I can safely walk in them ^__^

(p.s. no longer joking; if i build T I R C U L T U R E will you proide the content?)

[amei.livejournal.com]

Hohoho, and you could go to JAFWA EVERY FUGGIN' WEEK!!! YEY! I like the forgot-how-much-it-is-now chicken rice which is obviously catered for students in that area.

YESYESYESYES! Was going to pester you about T I R C U L T U R E, cause silent-mooby was bitching about the lack of MCDOHLISM on the english side of the net. XD

What kind of content? I'm kinda lost when it comes to fanfic, but as far as official information goes, *pats encyclopedia*, and fanart, WELL. XD

[naanima.livejournal.com]

I was thinking avoid ALL fanfiction like the plague. I want a pretty (preferbly ALL your fanart) but informative page. Character bio and a lots of essay wank thing... or just page upon page of why people should vote for Tir as President ^__^

Wallpaper, a few pages on the important people in his life, theories on the runes/history/etc. Things that make us happy ^__^

[amei.livejournal.com]

You can count the number of good McDohl fics on one hand, methinks.
And dude, McDohl fanart? I ain't got any! My hand keeps cramping up, I think I love him too much. BUT that said, I do have something in mind.

We gotta inflict the TIR LOVE on people. And yeah, McDohl for President = WIN.

Character bio are we going for the official stuff; then our opinions, and ESSAYS yeah, I'll let you handle that bit. Basically a page for McDohl, basic bio, (maybe how to unlock him in the second game?), why he's so great, what influences him/his influences, pre game, in game, post game --> character interaction, SOUL EATER RUNE, speculations, why McDohl, according to stats would wipe Riou of the face of the Suikoverse... <--(made that up)

Can't wait to get this ball rolling.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

You did a few pieces here and there (the LOVE overwhelms ALL)!

McDohl so for PreidenT!!! I'll make icons and posters.

YES, exactly, official and than the LOVE, teh BIASED LOVE!!! Yep unlocking in second game is important. YES!! Or that despite the fact Riou was several levels higher than McDohl, the latter can still kick his arse.

Me too!!!

Hey, I'm about to be kicked off line. I'll give you a ring on you mobile. You know just to talk for 15mins on the Tir LOVE!!!

[-leareth.livejournal.com]

Curtin?! @.@;;;; That's like ... WAH.

Then again, you're closer to us Southies now XD

Hope your ankle and headache get better *huggles*

[incandescens]

Samurai Deeper Kyo is being released in English by Tokyopop and is currently at vol 4, I believe.

OTOH, if you read French, SDK is up to vol 11 or so there, and HnG is at vol 6 or 7.

Mmm. French.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

In English?! That would explain the lack of scanlations.

Can't read French but can read Chinese. The Chinese translation of SDK is up to vol 23. The problem is a serious lack of cash on my part. So, I might have to fold and just rent out all of it someday.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

I think the guy upstairs might be trying to tell me something... like, move to the South or something ^^;;;

Headache still here, ankle is fine now.

[incandescens]

I would entirely understand it if you did. It's very frustrating not knowing what happens next, or how it ends -- even more so when the answer is out there.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

I've folded. Have put aside cash to go and rent out the manga. *bangs head on the table* I know I'm going to regret this later but I -need- to know. As you said the answer is out there in a form that I can understand, I MUST get!!!

(of course if I fall terribly in love with the seires I'll have to go and buy the whole set *sighs*)

[incandescens]

Console yourself. It's not as if it's not useful for background inspiration for other stuff. Political maneuverings, traumatic history, neat attacks, personality problems, cool weapons with Histories . . .

[naanima.livejournal.com]

True, true, and a easier to understand split personality story line than 'MPD Psycho'. And of course, Yukimura Sanada make me oh so happy.

[incandescens]

Yukimura is . . . just plain cool. (Gold Faction Sidereal?) I'm rather fond of the Red Tiger, too.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Yes, he's cool, he's just beyond words. And his psyche is so damn fascinating and complex. I love the man.

Gold Faction? (confused)

Oh yes, Benitora is interesting. There's just something about the prodigal sons' that make me wanna huggle them to death.

[incandescens]

Sidereals; Bronze Faction Sidereals want to just stamp out these resurgent Solars and keep things as they are, while Gold Faction Sidereals want to "educate" the Solars and manipulate them suitably. As in "it'll all work fine if they just do what we tell them..."

I even rather like Yuya. She's sincere and not too helpless. Poor "breadboard".

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Ah... still rather confused, is this in reference to anything particular? (feeling rather dumb).

Yuya took awhile for me to warm up to, but yes I have to give credit to her for being not so helpless that I want to smack her.

[incandescens]

Apologies -- reference is to the rpg Exalted from White Wolf. Colour me braindead.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Ah! Now I understand. I -need- to learn a bit more about White Wolf. More of a AD&D girl myself, although lately we have been using the D20 Star Wars system for an 'Inquisitor' game.

I want to game, I miss my 24th level Bear Monk (it took us two years to get to Epic levels but we got there).

[incandescens]

I strongly recommend Exalted as a fantasy setting, though am a touch biased in that, um, I've written for it. ;)

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Will check it out.

So, how does it feel to write for an RPG? Do you write more about the rules or do you write pre-packaged campaign?

[incandescens]

Generally speaking, I myself write background and adventure and setting and character rather than rules mechanics, because I'm better at it. And the Exalted line editor knows that, too. ;)

It's quite strenuous. I have to keep up to date with the other published background stuff so as not to contradict already-established canon. I also have to be ready to take editing and correction. And put up with fan comment afterwards. "Book X is really one of the weakest of the line..."

But it _is_ very cool to see someone using something in their campaign/game that I wrote.
