I'm still really busy managing another comm that I happen to be a part of. Since it's the summertime and a lot of kids are out of school, I am currently managing and co-moderating a game comm for the Yuhioh fandom, which is no easy task at all. I get an average of 40-90 emails a day and my hands are sore by the end of the day. I play five characters on the comm, soon to be eight, and that's no easy feat at all.

My main job is to make sure that there are no people coming into the comm and harrassing the teens. Most of them, if not all 14 of them, are teen girls, so I have to keep a real close eye on them.

This is just a little memo to let everyone know that I am still alive and well, and I do plan on coming back here in full swing once the game starts to calm down and life takes a more leisurely pace.

Thanks for all the support and thoughts. XD

I've been super busy at this time. More than likely, I'll be like this for about another month or so. I have a lot of things that I want to do but can't because of the lack of time in a day. So far on my "want to do list" I have

Getting my eyebrow peirced, which is on hold
Finishing up my fansite
Writting more fanfiction
Collecting more music
Collecting more screenshots and fanart
Submitting fanart
Creating Icons
Keeping in touch with all my friends
Go to the Anime Expo
Creating my costume for the expo
Getting my tattoo on my back
and getting my hair done

None of these are in order, but they are all the things that I want to do and get done.

These are the things that are going on at the moment that are keeping me from getting my wants done.

Buying the house
Updating the walls in the current home for resale
Getting paperwork ready for daughter's summer school
Talking to social workers about my daughter. (real joy. . not!!)
Taking daughter to therapy (she has Down's Syndrome)
Talking to doctors
Talking to loan officers about the house and the car.
Gettin bills paid
Looking for a second job to suppliment income
Work, work and more work.

Again, none of these are in order. I seem to be bogged down even more than I should be. By the time I get a fraction of this done, I'm so tired to even get on line once I do a portion of them during the say. I do answer my emails and I do have a little time to do little things. I haven't had much time to even instant message, which is pretty sad.

This is to allow those that have been worried about me to let them know that I haven't dropped off, I'm just bogged down for the time being. No worries though. Once eveything is done, I will be back and I will finish my fansite and do the other things that I've been meaning to do.

Give me a month, and I will be back.

One of my friends that I know from fanfiction.net got shot in the leg last week. I just found this out last night when I was responding to some emails that I didn't get the chance to answer because of the hubby being on the computer all day.

I was really saddened by this. She's only 13 and no child should ever have to feel pain like that. EVER!! I was angered, mixed with sadness and worry. She tells me that she can't walk at the moment and she's in a lot of pain. She seems to be in good spirits, which is encouraging, but it's sad to see such a happy person struck like that. Anger and violence only leads to pain and suffering to another.

I had to air this out here, mainly because I feel the need to let people know that tragedy can strike anywhere to anyone. We only live one life, and how we choose to ive determines the fate of many others around us indirectly.

Sadness and bitterness only leads to more pain. I'm just glad that she's doing fine. She's really lucky that she wasn't killed. I don't know all the details that surround the shotting, but she did mention that she was in school when it happened, which leads me to believe that it was another student that did this horrific act.

When will it ever end?

Has anyone ever got this feeing that no matter what you do or say, it seems to fall on deaf ears? I have encountered that feeling way too many times before. I have made it a point to speak loudly, but I listen intentally. I'm a real go-getter, but I also know when to step back and take a deep breath.

I have a best friend that's a lesbian. I like people for who they are, not because of their orientation or background. Being open minded has it's downfalls. Most of the time, people see me as being a little uptight. *shrugs* I think that happens with all of us at some point in time.

I'm just airing out my thoughts here, and I don't want to give people the wrong idea. I may be an anime fan, but that doesn't mean that I'm a simple minded baffoon either. This is a place for fans, and being a fan of anime is something I enjoy.

I got angry at my neighbor the other day. I'm a little hot tempered at times, but that's what being an Aries is. I didn't out right tell him that he's being a butthead, even though I wanted to. He bashed one of my friends right in front of me and I told him to keep his thoughts to himself. He's a bigot, pure and simple. I had one of my trasnvestite friends over and my neighbor was bashing the GBLT community!! I was so uphauled that I wanted to toss him out by his boxer shorts!! I held my tongue because of my daughter.

I have taught her that people should be respected for who they are and the deeds they do. Greatness comes from within no matter what the color of skin is, or if anyone is gay, straight or both.

My personal oppinion on the GBLT is that most of them are the main contributors to society. They are creative, inventive, outgoing, honest, dilligent, intelligent, and the list goes on. I had a lesbian couple living several door down from us and we loved to go over to their home. I loved talking to the couple, mainly because they were just a great couple of gals. I miss them a lot. They ended up moving away because they were chased off by the bigots and that saddened me.

I can remember a time I was a bouncer at a GBLT club known as Missy B's here in Kansas City. It was on Westport Road and it was a great place. That was over 5 years ago. I wished that people would just get off their high horses and see what a great bunch of people that we have here. It's not often that I say this, but hey, it's a free world on the net.

I tell my daughter all the time that no matter who they are, you should always remember that each person that you meet in life will influence your future. I'd like to think of meeting new people as a path. Some will lead you down the wrong way, while others may lead to something spectacular. Each person leaves a footstep to follow. What path you choose to make, will decide whether or not if it's good or bad. I would like to think that it's all good, but that's not how life truely is. Sometimes life causes people to look the other way, while others embrace it.

Which one would you choose?

I have some videos that I had submitted and there seems to be a few people out there that like anime and Yu-Gi-Oh! like myself. I know that this is a rather new site, and I really like the diversity. That's what draw me to create a webpage and upload some of my content here.

I learned about this site when I was browsing through my LJ and I clicked on to the site from there. A friend of mine posted the link, and here I am now, posting some crazy stuff. ^_~ I'm a fan of wasrshipping, which is a pairing of Seto Kaiba and Alister also known in the Japanese anime as Amelda.

I think this is a wonderful place and I really like it here. I started posting one of my stories here and I plan on posting more over time.

All this site really needs is color. XD
