I have a project I have to do for math, and it can be anything at all, so long it's not terribly complicated. I suggested RPG/video game/MMO math, and my professor was pretty much ":DDDDD". GUESS WHAT I CHOSE.

So the tl;dr is: Could anyone provide me with some moderate/high quality screenshots of P3 or P4 for this project? Preferably of the Velvet Room or Level Up (MC or Persona) screens. Or just the character stat ones from when you talk to a party member. It would be very much appreciated, and I will definitely list you all as a source.

Thanks in advance!

So the other night I dared enough_space to actually be awake within half an hour of me coming home from work; I promised her fic if she made it.

AND SO WAS WHAT WILL PROBABLY THE LEAST-POPULAR FIC IN 07-GHOST FANDOM WRITTEN. :'D Okay, I exaggerate a bit, but it is rather disheartening how much people don't like Ouka and Gyokuran and the others. I think they are amazing. :'( Based on a pet theory of #babydragon that Shuri is the fiance that Ouka mentions in passing when she's first introduced.

Gyokuran vets the princess' fiance. She is not terribly impressed.
SPOILERS through Kapitel 53

( without, the thorns )

Sometimes, you just have some lousy times all strung together at once, and it sucks. Friends fall out, your employees--all of them, at different moments--fail you, your rolls suck, and your Hobbit looks like she's wearing a diaper. (Speaking of which, I should do a picture post soon, I haven't done one in AGES and my little kiddos are growing up so fast.)

But I critted an earring tonight, so I've got that going for me.

And my next paycheck is going to be wildly inflated by the exorbitant amounts of overtime I've worked lately (to be fair, not as much as many people, though to also be fair, I signed on for 40 hours a week, I do fine with the checks from 40 hours a week, and I don't want the overtime, dammit).

Also, this, which made me laugh really, really hard and will probably be going in my soon-to-be-redone info along with Jeff's old quote about how cool I am.

And Amanda and Tim will be here tomorrow, which should be nice.

So, on the whole, all right. Not good yet, but all right.

ETA: Oh, and how could I forget, my old friend Bailey's is back in my fridge. Yes, I know. I should not count alcohol possession as a win, but... I am. So there.

I HAD MY JEANS TAILORED. BY MY GRANDMA'S FRIEND.

GUYS, MY PANTS DON'T FALL OFF WHILE STILL BUTTONED AND ZIPPED. THEY COME IN AT THE WAIST AND STILL FLAIR AT THE HIP.



I'VE BEEN WEARING GINORMO JEANS FOR OVER A YEAR. THIS IS AMAZING.

( -too lazy to make a preview- )

Hello all,

I am trying my darnest to finish an Akon centric fic. 

Being the obsessive researcher I am, I reread his bits of the manga and rewatched his episodes.  In the middle of writing, it dawned on me that I haven't read the manga extra that showed him as a child, when he was a prisoner of Maggot's Nest.  I remember reading about it from several sources (blogs, bleach wiki, forums, etc), but I have never seen it anywhere.

Can somebody tell me where to find this?  A link would be great!  I believe it is part of volume 36 (I could be dead wrong, though), but I can't find the extra bits for any volume anywhere, just the main manga pages.  Volume 36 is Japanese only at the moment, I'm pretty sure.  I had always thought the child Akon bit was just an omake...but I can only find the omake of him as an adult, so I assume it was something less formal, just Kubo's notes or something.

I just don't want to miss details.  Bad preparation is the enemy of fanfic!

Thanks in advance!

So, today at work we walked dogs in the dark, while it was pouring rain, with lightning and thunder and finally hail, and then the roof in treatment sprang holes.

Thus, it was raining inside. And we called my manager, but she kind of shrugged it off as "nothing we can really do about it right now". Despite the fact that... it's raining all over the medical equipment and if it rains all night, what will it be like in the morning?

Well, fuck that. I'm going to Florida.

I'm tired of feeling so shitty about myself. Hopefully this will be a good distraction.

• 11:44 argh I want to open this letter of recommendation and read it sobsobsobsobsob #
• 12:30 Rui's pic reminded me that I too now have a hat! \o/ dailybooth.com/u/z10z #

I know a lot words cannot be translated, and not knowing Japanese I feel like I loose some important things. I do enjoy watching the anime with the subtitles more than the dubbed, but I do like still watch both.

Anyway I was watching episode 62 and noticed that when Gin was leaving for HM he told Rangiku “Maybe next time.” In the subtitles he says “sorry”. I don’t remember the translation in the Manga. But there is a big difference here. Him saying “maybe next time” sounds kind of sarcastic and doesn’t seem like he cares. But “sorry” makes me wonder if he does care and that there is more to their story.

Also in the English dubbed episodes I noticed Rukia calls Byakuya by his first name and brother. In the original language it is of course nii-sama. What I’ve read is that Nii-sama is a word used for an older brother out of respect. I really can’t think of anything that would translate to that in English. I do remember Rukia calling him Lord Byakuya one time, but I’m still not sure about that translation. Also in the original language when Rukia is saying nii-sama it seems like there is some affection in her voice. In the English version when she says brother it seems cold and I can’t get the emotion of her caring as much as I do in the original version. I personally don’t think that every word has to be translated and some original words should be kept,such as, nii-sama and the termed used for Captain.

So my questions are:

Are my guesses right or am I not getting something?

So has Rukia ever called Byakuya by his first name in the original language?

Are there other things you noticed that seemed to be lost in translation?

Basara has left the building summer camp.

It's been an awesome run with him. Thanks to everyone for letting me play him, and special love goes out to the Macross cast for dealing with me so long. ♥

HEY DUDES

For those of you doing my AWESOME reverse relationship meme! I had a few people request that I post a reminder of some sort after a couple of weeks, and this is it! Today's the halfway point (well, about), so y'all have until November 22nd (or thereabouts, depending on when you started the meme) to thread with people.

Which reminds me that I still need to meet Caeru, Ryoji, Tatsuya, Lockon, Cain, Castor, Minato, Marin, Makoto, Yukinami, and Kaname with various characters of mine. S-sob.

FIGHT ON GUYS! idk how to tag this. Here we go.
