and then dizzy asploded

...

Okay, not really. If I asploded, y'all'd know pretty quickly. Plus, it'd be damn messy.

So, I wanted to let y'all know something.

First off, I'm sorry about my recent activity, or lack thereof.
Secondly, I have an explanation behind that slump of mine.

As some of you know, my cat, Truffles, passed away about a month ago. Not super-funfun for me. Not in the least. I'm recovering, but, well, it's taking some time.
But, hey, that has nothing to do with my activity right now.
Nope.
Something else is. (gasp!)

As not-quite-as-many of you know, I started writing fanfiction in the Yuugiou fandom last spring. One thing has led to another, and now I've become quite involved in writing my fanfiction, as well as another project.
Again, I want it duly noted that I have been taking Japanese for the last three years; this is the first year that I've been unable to take it as a class, and have been forced to learn it on my own. I've been reading, watching anime in Japanese, and doing anything to keep myself at least at the barest level of fluency.

I have been adopted into a professional fandub by ProjectYGO as a translator. That means that I'm going to be taking episodes of Yuugiou from Japanese, translating them (via listening) into English, and handing them over to my boss/other translator for inspection and adaptation into the script.
As you can imagine, this is much harder than it sounds. I have to check my work by watching episodes with English subtitles; that should show how nervous I am. Good thing everyone there has become my second second-family and is incredibly nice and welcoming.

Plus, it's my senior year, and I've got bloody College Physics this quarter, followed by Calculus next quarter. And I fscking hate math and science. Good, yes, but that stuff is pure evil. And then there're those things we call College Applications and Scholarship Notebooks that are chipping away at my 'freetime'.

Anyway!
I'm not leaving Warriors Within. Che. You'd have to work a lot harder to get me to ditch this place. But I am doing a lot of stuff in addition to this these days. I'm going to try much harder to be on here on a more... regular basis.
But it might help if certain threads (-cougheclipseanddarkpawsquee-) were staying active... (Foxx?)


But, yar!
Much love,

TRANSLATING? God damn, Dizzers. No wonder!
Well, those are all weak but certainly plausible excuses. Indeed, Dizzeh is forgiven.
[scowls] I already told you, I thought that thread was finished...

[[don't]fear[the]reaper]

-smirks- I'd have to summon Chi-chan if you hadn't forgiven me.
On second thought....
-whistles sharply; a velociraptor with red toe claws and markings appears-

This is Chi-chan! She keeps me working on my projects... and is damned useful in battles.
Anyway! My excuses aren't that weak, Foxx.
And that thread isn't finished enough for me. Yet.
[[trivia: "chi" in Japanese means "blood"]]

[angels.to.demons]

Really? Hmm. Answer me this; what the hell is a velociraptor? -question mark-

No, they aren't too weak, but, y'know. ; They're almost as weak as my excuses. "School; I'm busy; I don't have enough time." xDD Certainly not as weak as Jaide's.

And, I'll post in that thread later.

No muse right now. xDD

[[don't]fear[the]reaper]

Muse is a magical substance: it's hard to come by when you need it, and when you want it, you have way too much of it.

Horrid stuff.
