❶ Choose an episode of anime or television series you have on your computer. Make sure you're certain you want that one, you cannot change your mind. DO NOT TELL YOUR FLIST WHAT YOU CHOSE.
❷ Make note of how long the episode is here -> 23:29
❸ Ask your f-list to choose a time between 00:00 and whatever the length of your episode is. Be specific, (ie: 19:11, 21:09, 02:42)
❹ Make them an icon using THAT FRAME ONLY no matter what it is. And remember, you can only use that ONE episode you chose previous, even if the person posting isn't familiar with it.

Hit me with it! This looks like fun! ^_______^ I have a feeling like no one has seen this show though (which I wouldn't blame them, it isn't that good XD;;;;; )

As for life, uhhhh, well Mari and I are trying to find a house to rent with a certain sheep ♥ I really hope we can find something, I would so love to live in a house. Plus, if we can get a house I finally get to pick out a kitten to join the other kitties! Plus plus, hoooouse~~ XD

In other news, my better job that is only part time? May become full-time. Which would mean being able to get rid of the other not so good job. XP You have no idea how hard I'm hoping this goes through and it could as soon as July if things work out the way my immediate boss and I want. *.* Wish me luck?

Oh, btw, arivess and kurosakihisoka, I haven't forgotten your guys' pictures, I swear. Still plan on doing them! XD There are sooo many things I want to draw, especially lately. For a while I was in one of those art funk things, but I think my inspiration is coming back ^__^ I'll have to make use of it while it's around, heh.

Hmmm any other news is like, all RP related. XD; I finally got Maguri's app done. DEAR GOD. And I swear it isn't as long as it looks ;.; It's 11 comments, but they aren't full comments, they aren't! ^^;;; Lol, I'm really bad at summarizing, what can I say? Especially when I've been reviewing the canon for it anyway. I'm thinking I'm also going to pick Himawari back up too.... I really miss playing her. I think I could move her out of her sad funk too after having lost a good chunk of her friends all at around the same time. And come on, walking in-game event >D (Though if I do bring her back I sure hope more people make use of that from time to time, ya know? Wasted potential makes kitsune cry *nods wisely* )

Oh yeaaah, cosplay and con. XD Those are coming up. AE is early-mid June and I have to get the finishing touches on the Mahou Tsukai Tai costumes done that weren't done before that I can actually do myself. The rest I leave in the capable hands of Kakumei-peeps. I'm really looking forward to it even if I somehow think I was an odd choice for Aburatsubo. I love him, so it's okay! (Speaking of which, I think that somehow at Sakura-Con, Ayame convinced me to cosplay Kurogane. Wtf, how did that happen? But it'd probably be kid!Kuro, like from some of the splash pages though. Gotta remember to ask for the contact info for her wig-commissioner extraordinaire since that Vash wig was almost exactly what I'd need for Kurogane XD)

And a couple of the Canadians are coming down for a concert soon too, so we get a mini-visit! And then Chris and Sora's wedding is next month! And the mid-year purification at the shrine. Dude, I guess a lot of stuff is coming up. @.@

I could probably ramble a whole shit ton more now that I've started, but that's always the case, so I'll stop there. XD (I have to be up WAY too early tomorrow and was up WAY too early this morning to be this awake right now XP )

So I've been keeping up with LJ in terms of reading the flist and all that, but posting, once again has been eluding me. XD; Ah well, I try. Kinda. Time to list it XD:

-NaNo: Tried it, kinda floundered, gave in. ^.^;; But I'm still going to be working on that story though I'll be posting it in this journal instead because I want it here. I'll ask if people want a filter for it later when I start putting what I have up (not that there are many people to ask XD) In any case, it was a fun experience and I'd be willing to try it again. (I seriously have such little self-discipline *flop*) LOVED reading kaitou_marina's though. Shall have to nag her to get back to writing it soon because dood, I want moar.

-New job: Is going well. Lots of working extra while training and to get things caught up from the time when no one was even filling this job. @.@ But hey, it's better pay than the grocery store and I like the work better too, so it's not that bad. Getting up so early everyday though... x.x Ugh, that I could do without. Ah well.

-Holiday Mash Up: Dear god, coordinating like... 4 families it feels like (plus hoping to visit innate too somewhere in there). But I think we'll make it work, so it's all good. A little worried about the gifts I still have yet to get (or think of wtf @.@) since time is rapidly running out, but I'll manage. Somehow. XD Then gotta figure out when/how to get to Canadaland to see all of them for fun times and visiting and xmas. Also, teh JENNI visit, must. figure. out. Oh and ya know, Mari's birthday's in there somewhere too. Wish me luck people. Wish me luck. XD;; Oh yes, and we have a Christmas Tree. A real one. And it's all decorated and stuff despite not having quite enough lights for our liking, it still worked out and is pretty and sparkly. ♥

-Snow: Good grief, it isn't that much of it, no, but it's been so cold it makes everything really icy. Ugh. I love snow, I do, but worrying about people getting around in it is bad. Buuuuut, like I said, other than that I really like it. It's so pretty. *.* (Even if I have to try to catch buses in it that pass me by at the stop without slowing down. TWICE >.<)

-Shrine: Zomg, the Shinto shrine covered in snow was so beautiful. And didn't pound any mochi myself this year, but it sure was tasty. Oddly enough, I think I've grown from hating red bean paste to not minding it at all. Huh. Anyway, the ceremony was nice, the grounds were really lovely, watching the mochi pounding was fun and I took lots of pictures with my phone. (Man, I want a real camera for things like that. Someday *sigh*) I also bought part of my dad's christmas present there - protection and luck amulets from the shrine. I've been kinda worried about him lately, so... I hope he'll like them and they'll help. In any case, I really enjoyed the visit this year even if getting there was a bit of an icy-road adventure XD;;;

Hmmm that's about it for a life update sort of thing. OH, shibbyfangirl, a little bit ago (a week or two after you asked actually) your package arrived! Sankyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ ♥ I looove the genuinely Hokkaido kitsune bag XD and the cute lil' Fai cleaner strap. He's now proudly hanging from my DS. And it's always nice to get letters. I really should send them more often knowing how good it feels to get one. ^^;; But thank you so much!

Now to probably get ready for bed soon since I have to get up early tomorrow just to see if I go to work or not again (didn't today, it was closed due to potential and then actual snow and icy conditions).

Once again, it's been some time. SakuraCon has come and gone and well most of you already heard about it. It was very マーマー. =_= *shrugs* There were awesome and fun parts and then not so much. It balanced out. Maybe I shouldn't have dressed as Himawari of all people XD; So damned expensive though (not the con itself, just the stuff surrounding it), so lately has been... not so great money-wise.

It's tight. Doable, but tight. Which makes me worry about upcoming expensive crap. *sigh*

BUT, I'm not going to dwell on that right now. Instead I feel like babbling. mukashixmukashi is nearly ready to open. Most of what still needs to be done is admittedly stuff in my care, but I'm plugging away at it. Mostly just need to do the last two comm icons and scan the world map and do a bigger map of the central RPing area and some mod-only reference stuff. Oh yeah and write my app.... Lol. I've done everything on it besides the parts that require thought. XD; It isn't that I haven't thought about what I'm doing for Kurogane there, not at all, I've got that done. It's managing to write it down coherently. I've never been too great at apps because you need to summarize things and I tend to babble like you all haven't noticed already XP. So I'll have all the information but also a lot of extraneous stuff and sometimes in orders that don't flow the best together. I'm going to try and avoid doing that on this one, but we'll see. XD; Must do good app to set a good example for applicants, ya know? So the pressure is on ^.^;;

Also been trying to get through the end of an arc in a private RP too and that's just been... heh, hard to do. Esp. with trying to keep up at Memento and get Mukashi off the ground and watch anime at home with kaitou_marina. XD; It feels as if around work I don't have enough hours in the day. Add the fact that things need to be so cleaned and straightened around here again and it's just a little overwhelming. And that $ shit I said I won't talk about too ._.

But, I shall prevail! YES! Because I have little other choice. LOL.

In any case, that's life in a nutshell again.

p.s. does anyone know good fairytales or legends or myths that involve particularly unlucky people? >.>

EDIT: Uh.. somehow my computer future dated this and I wanted to post again so you just get both posts now? XD;; This is actually something I wrote on the 16th.
