*WARNING: SPOILERS MAY BE HIDING AHEAD*
OK, I know it's a bit late but Happy New Year Everyone! OK, I'm now on volume 46 of Naruto manga and oh my gosh! How sad is it now? I can't believe what I've read! I can no longer bring myself to dislike Itachi.
So, anyway, I can't wait for to get my paws on the next volume but seeing as I have been unable to get to my local manga store, I'm just going to settle for a simple fangirly squee.
Oh! Another amazing thing happened to me (manga-wise); I now own the final volume of Fruits Basket! I can't believe what has happened! It's so sad but also so very, very cool. To anyone who has not read Fruits Basket, why not?! It's amazing! Don't judge it by the anime as it's only covers up to vol 6 (I think) and the manga has 23 volumes.
What else has happened? Oh, I think i may have lost my Ouran High School Host Club vol 2 anime! ;.; I can't remember lending it to anyone so I think I may have to go hunting for it... Although, I have vol 1 f the manga but I can't find vol 2 anywhere so I may have to shop online...
But anyway, enough about my manga/anime searching, as I may (or may not, I can't remember) have mentioned before, I am cosplaying as Gaara from Naruto at the MCM London Expo in May '10. Now, I was going to may a paper-mache (sp?) gourd but then I thought "why risk breaking it on our way up there?" So, instead of a paper-mache (sp?) one, I (read: my mum) am going to make a stuffed gourd, sort of like a gourd shaped pillow. It'll be lighter, easier to make and (hopefully) far less likely to break. Not to mention if it does break, then it'll be easier to fix.
Well, I will keep you posted on the gourd-making front and hopefully I'll upload some pics on deviantart (I'll prob link it)
Anyway, I better get going, thank you reading!

Ouran High School Host Club
Oh my GOODNESS! I started watching Ouran High School Host Club about a week or two ago and I couldn't help but fall in love with it. The music is so sad but also so good! I want it as my ringtone! I'm kidding, but I do like the music.
It annoying, actually, I watched the first disc of vol. 1 and I wanted to watch the second disc but denyed myself it until i had done all my uni assignments... it didn't work. I ended up wathing it instead of doing my essay >.< but I got te essay done so no harm done... really... Anyway, I've now got the seond volume and have watched the entire thing and you know what? I still love it! I just wish there was more... Ah, well.
Anyway, I better go; I've got an xmas party to get ready for... yay(?) Sorry this post is so short but thanks for reading guys!

Naruto Manga and next May's London Expo!
Ok. I'm now on vol 37 of the Naruto manga but I can't read any more because my friend has bought me the next three volumes for Christmas so I must wait it out until then ;.;
On another note, I have already decided who I'm cosplaying as at the next London MCM Expo (which isn't until may 2010!) I am going as my current favourite character.... *drum roll*... Gaara! ... Yeah, I know not really much of a suprise really is it? but I've got the costume custom made and it's so cool! also, I have a gourd bag as well as the headband so all I need are the shoes and then I'm good to go!
And this (next?) year, me and my friend Saz won't be going alone! Oh, no! I have made a private group on FaceBook where there are at least six of us who are going (who everyone else is going as has yet to be decided) but with a bit (read: tone) of luck, we will all be going for the entire weekend and maybe longer, depending on who can afford to do what ^^
Well, I'm all excited now, I just wish the expo was closer. Anyway, I better get going as I have work later today (I really hate my boss) Have a nice day everyone and I'll try and update soon!

Naruto Shippuden
Hey, I am happy to say that I am now on vol 33 of the Naruto manga. And oh my gosh, the first arc is so awesome. In fact, the whole thing is awesome but I just loved the Gaara-ness of it; so cool!
Anyway, that's not all I have to say; I also know that Shippuden is being dubbed (I have only see the first four episodes on DubHappy.com) but hopefully there should be more soon ^^
You know, I've got up to 7:1 of the anime but I know that the rest of the episodes are purely filler so I'm not going to bother buying the rest. However, I may stream them just so I can watch the Gaara fillers at the end (Yea, I've already watched some).
On another note (that's not entirely unrelated to Naruto); I'm doing Media Production at uni and we are arranging to get hoodies (black not pink, Bleh!), complete with nicknames ^^ However, I have no nickname ;.; so, I chose my fav. character... yep, you guessed it, Gaara! So now, when I get my hoodie, it'll have Gaara written on the back. I know that no one else will get it but I like it so there!
Um... not sure what else to say so I guess I'll leave it at that. ^^ Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll update soon.

I'm still here!
Oh my gosh you won't believe what kind of month I've just had! First, I take ten days off work to go volunteering for the Cambridge Film Festival only to be told that I start uni the next week (this was at the start of September by the by) anywho, so I start emailing my lecturers and such and I find out that I'll be at uni on the first three days of fest. So I email more lecturers to see what I can do about this as I had already booked both train and lodgings for the entire festival. So, I email more and eventually I find out that the uni's Fresher's week (conveniently) coincided with most of the festival which means I have to email the festival people to let them know when I'll be available, it also means I had to call my BnB and tell them that I'd be coming up to them three days later *sigh* so after a lot of hassle I eventually get it all sorted (whilst starting my second year at uni with a LOAD of assignments) and just when I thought things were finally going smoothly... I'm told I'll be without Internet for the duration of the festival... NOOOOOOOOOOOO! was pretty much my reaction. yeah, i wasn't happy.
Anyway, So I got to the festival and I volunteer everyday surviving on nothing more than cheese toasties (which were brilliant), hot chocolates (which were even more brilliant), cup-a-soups and instant noodles. Imagine my joy when I came home Monday and my mother made me a fried egg sandwich.
Phew, well that was a lot to say in one breath so I think I'm gonna go a lie down now... actually YouTube sounds better.
See you all again soon and thanks for reading!

Naruto series 7
Ok, I don't know dates just yet but I have got wind of series 7 of Naruto becoming available very soon here in the UK from HMV.
On another note, has anyone heard/read the anime/manga magazine called Otaku? I think it's from the USA.
Sorry it's short but I have very little to write today sorry!
Oh but before I go, I can't remember if I've posted it here yet, but this is the link to my May 09 Expo vid, enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzOTx68rNUU

Sorry! (and When they Cry)
Hey guys! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a little while but I've just finished my 1250 word essay that was due for re-assessment next Monday. However, as I'm going to be busy until Wednesday, it had to be done for today but now that it is done, I can relax a bit more and update here a bit more too.
Anyway! today's update is (drum roll) ... When They Cry! Yes, I have become morbidly obsessed with this anime. I first saw/heard of it when I was on Youtube watching some Naruto vids and I found one (that I haven't been able to find since) that had both Naruto and When they Cry. So, me being me, decided to check it out on absoluteanime.com and sure enough that got me hooked. So now I own the first volume and i can't wait to get the second because its left me with an evil cliffy with the first episode of the second chapter! However *sigh* I'm lacking in money so I can't get it yet :( oh well...
So anyway, When They Cry (for those who don't know) is about a boy who has recently moved to the remote village of Hinamizawa where he meets and becomes quick friends with a group of four girls. Now, although everything may appear all happy-chappy with this little set up, it's not.
On the night of the Cotton-drifting festival, after everyone is done having fun and... drifting their cotton, a man has died after having clawed out his own throat whilst the woman he was seen with has gone missing. Creepy, no?
So, anyway, the boy gets pulled into (I'm going to tell you how or why; that's cheating) and slowly begins the long and spiraling path downward into madness until the end of the first chapter where things start all over again. fun, huh?
well, anyway, so that's this... periods update. (*bows* sorry I'm not more regular ;_; ) take care and if anyone knows of anymore interesting anime or they just want to say something (anything will do) then feel free! 'til next time!
