Translations and Weekly Anime

Hello everybody~! It's 20 minutes till midnight~!!

And ten minutes ago I submitted my translation test to the Alice Dreams scanslations people.       :D Only to realize 30 seconds after sending it that I made a HUGE translation error...here it is:

朝っぱらから　
いちゃついてんなよ

My first translation: "Nice entrance this morning, Carp (<Koi=fish)"

When I looked at it again: "I don't wanna see you two cuddling so early in the morning"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

H-how did I miss it by THAT much!?

I hope I didn't make any other mistakes...!

Anyways, i'm glad I got it turned in and I hope those in charge of the scanslations for Alice Dreams approve of my work. Oh, and I DON'T use Google translate or anything. Online translators are usually almost always wrong.. (>.<)

In other news, I am currently watching 54 animes...it used to be 51 animes but, that changed today. Since I am trying to watch so many series I have split them all up so I watch  a certain amount of episodes and a certain selection of anime shows every day.

And lastly (on a random note), there is a big, fluffy, white with a little bit of caramel brown colored stray cat that has been terrorizing our other cats and bunnies outside everyday for the past two weeks. I have named that cat Thomas (if it's a boy)/Delilah (if it's a girl). And today I made it my mission to capture the kitty. I failed 40 seconds later when my mom told me not to. So now, i'm just going to feed Thomas/Delilah from afar in hope that I will be able to befriend he/she through time...it's not working so well...

This is a picture of Thomas/Delilah that my sister, Jenny/Minami, took from her window

I guess that's all I have to share for now~! Thank you so much for reading~!! Have a great day; it's 12:48 AM :D So, now i'm gonna go watch some anime~! Bye byes~!!!!

Anyways, on Monday, I learned how to play basketball~! I mean, I've played it some-what before but, I have never actually known the rules (^.^;) So, I was really surprised when I found out the rules weren't the same as they were in this manga series I read (lol). It turns out that if you get in trouble (foul.?) you don't get handcuffed to your partner, who knew, right?! So, for most of the instructions I was really confused.... :<

^ (^o^) Omg, is that a typo?! (>.<) ^

Oh, and the game players consisted of: Aoshi, Kakashi, Sasuke, and I (Lucia...or Mikumi). For the last hour we were there these two other boys showed up and we were ready to throw down! ....but, we got logged D:

I was gonna post a picture of some [anime] people playing basketball when I found this...

Notice that they are all guys and the girls are just sitting there watching this all go down...

The next day, Tuesday, I got my books and student ID for my senior year coming up on September 9th~!

Oh, and when I got home my imouto (little sister) made these amazing peanut butter cookies that were HUGE~! They were the best peanut butter cookies I have EVER had~~~!

OH MY GOSH (this has nothing to do with anything but...) a few years ago I found this Korean video about these animals/sweets that live in this cookie/gingerbread like town! And I just now found it again~~~~~~~! Go follow this link! It's soooooo cute~!:

Lastly, In case you don't know, I have loved manga and anime for awhile now and have taught myself how to write and speak a bunch of Japanese. So, while reading manga on mangafox I cam across this group of translators that were recruiting people to translate Japanese -to- English. So, now I am taking a test to see if I will be accepted as a part of the " Alice Dreams" translating/cleaning/scanning team~!

My test includes translating two pages and then e-mailing them to the translators. If I am accepted; I will be translating AT LEAST one chapter per every two weeks ( a manga chapter is usually 20 pages; that's around 40 pages if you include that there are two sides to ever page :D ). I'm really excited, I have already translated the first page and I am working on the second one~! Wish me good luck!

I can't help but worry that i'm going to have to pull some all-nighters... (^_^;)

That's all I have for right now~! Thank you so much for your patience and I promise to write more blogs from now on (unless Akamaru crashes again....lol).

Must read more books...must learn more Japanese....

oh, I have read 120 hours this summer (well, I think I read more... I just recorded that much..)

Catherine Finale~!

Summer's almost over and my blog is still going~!

OMG~! I finished [watching] the game Catherine -! So, today's blog is gonna be about me finishing the game's walkthrough. 

After 5 days of watching Catherine (for a total of 8 hours), I finally made it to the end of the story. :D  Now, I don't wanna give away much but, i'll say this; there are 8 different endings you can get. Throughout the game you are asked questions and are given options on how to answer people which results in the ending you will receive. My favorite ending was one that included Katherine (there are different endings with Katherine as well). 

Lastly, my favorite girl character in the game was........

Katherine Mcbride

Mostly because of the fact that she doesn't come after people with butcher knives like someone....

(^.^) No spoilers there..

And my favorite guy character was........

Jonny/Jonathan (that's really how they spell it), if I were to explain it would be a spoiler.

Well, that's all for now~! Have a super awesome day~~!

Climb or... DIE-! + OMG, Naruto Battles are EPIC~!

Hi again to everyone who keeps up with my blog~! :D

OK, lets get started-! So, a few days ago while watching anime on Crunchyroll.com this ad came up for a game called Catherine. Pretty much this ad is a video of this guy with sheep horns in his boxers holding a pillow and these two girls; one described as "devoted" and the other "flirtatious" . Yeah, and some sheep running around and the guy yelling "CATHERIIIIIINE!" . After this, I looked up the game on youtube and found out it is about:

In the neighborhood in which Vincent (main character) lives, there have recently been a number of bizarre incidents in which people die in their sleep with a look of anguish upon their faces. Strangely enough, all of the victims are young men. The story quickly spreads throughout the media, attracting widespread attention and theories as to the cause of death. A strange rumor begins to spread that if a person dreams of falling, then they must wake up soon or they will be unable to wake at all and will die.


Vincent is at a bar contemplating marriage to Katherine, his lover of five years who is pressuring him to get married, when he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman named Catherine. Although there are many vacant seats, she sits next to Vincent and turns out to be exactly his type. The two end up spending the night together at Vincent's house.


After meeting Catherine, Vincent begins to have nightmares every single night, which he believes may be related to the rumors. In these dreams, he and several other men, who appear to him as sheep, must escape from various horrors trying to kill him, for if he dies in his dream, he will die in reality. As dreams and reality begin to blend together, Vincent must not only fight to survive, but he must choose between Katherine and Catherine.

Now, to be honest, i'm not a fan of either Katherine or Catherine..they both kinda creep me out and make me feel sorry for our hero Vincent. Accept for the fact that apparently he is cheating.. In this game, during the part where he is asleep; you have to climb this brick/block-like stair case by arranging the blocks so that he can climb up them before whatever demon is chasing you catches you. It's climb or DIE!(omg, so dramatic. lol) Other than that, it's mostly just story line so, it's not one of those run around and kill people games (but it is bloody X3 ). I have been watching the walk throughs/commentary of it on youtube because I can't go buy the game but, still, it reminds me of an anime...which is awesome~!

Here is the trailer:

Also, as of now I am only 40 episodes away from being caught up with Naruto Shippuden~! It has gotten so sad lately (but, I won't give any spoilers), and I'll tell you this; Naruto just had an epic (20 episodes I think...) battle with Pain~~~~~~~~~~~~! Won't tell you the results but, OMG OMG OMG OMG-! It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, they're eatin sushi... :)

Guess that's all there is for now~! Thanks so much for reading. I'm gonna go fill up my pink water bottle and watch Catherine~! Have an epic day~!

The convention meeting and Jenny's/Minami's picture and Mamotte! Computer~!

Greatings, Earthlings! Thank you for reading my blogs (T_T) ~!

Ok, lets get started--! Today (yesterday...Saturday) my mom and I drove to Kent in search of the Velocity Taekwondo center....after 1 1/2 hours of searching for it...we returned home (well, actually, we looked for 2 hours..). (>.<) So, now, I have to message the Aki-con people about meeting up somewhere so they can fill me in on stuff..heheh... Gomene..

Also, yesterday, I finished drawing my sister, Jenny/Minami, a picture of Koyama, Mitsuki from the anime/manga Full Moon wo Sagashite.  I drew Mitsuki holding Takuto (in his plushie kitty form), and Meroko (in her plushie bunny form) getting jealous over Mitsuki since Takuto is blushing.

----OMG~! I am so so very berry very thankful to my sister's fiancee's twin brother, Noah, for being super spectacular and letting me borrow his Windows 7 set-up disk~! Now, I am back on schedule (after 3 days..) and will be able to continue the fandub i'm working on...though, i'm going to have to postpone it till late August because not all of my updates have gone through and I lost ALL my files. Oh, and can anyone tell me how i'm supposed to change the color of my transparent task bar? I used to be able to do it by Right clicking>Properties>Window Color

But, whenever I do that, it pulls up some other window that is not the changer-color-button-...thing. 

Well, I guess that's all for now-! Thanks for all your help everyone~! I'll try my best not to crash my laptop for a third time..but, no promises... (^_^;) Once again, thank you~!
