living underwater

Hello, everyone!

You have reached the rambling, the fangirling, and the general chill-pad of theOtaku's NightBeck, a.k.a Becky, a.k.a Crimson Lotus the Irish Ninja.

... okay, maybe not the last one. But people will be calling me that one day.

This is your place to chill, talk about life and fandom, and be generally crazy. So go on. Play nice, be good to each other, don't make me hurt you.

My favorite series: Princess Tutu, Ookiku Furikabutte, Mushishi, xxxHOLiC, Monster, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Escaflowne, and Baccano!

As if any of us were the least bit normal, anyway.

I'm back!

Sorry for the radio silence! My laptop's hard drive died.

What did I miss?

Why hello there, 5:30AM.

Anyways! Time to tuck away the last of my stuff and get going. Had an unusually good night with my host family last night, in which they made some of my favorite foods and then we went to see some gorgeous fireworks, so I can leave without feeling bitter towards them. I'm pretty certain they will not have another student after me, since they clearly don't have the time or interest anymore, so hopefully they got <i>something</i> out of having me here, too.

I'll miss you, Japan! But I'll be back soon. &hearts; In the meantime I am going home to sleep.

I will see you all when I am conscious! Have an awesome weekend in the meantime. &hearts;

According to those handy birthday notifications, it's a double-birthday today! Otanjoubi omedetou, TimeChaser and WaywardWarrior! I hope you two have a fabulous day. Or... rather... HAD, because it's nighttime in the U.S right now? Oh, International Date Line.

Right, so. There was that.

Yesterday was kind of ridiculous. - First, there was a total solar eclipse over Tokyo. Not that anyone saw it, because, y'know, it was RAINING. - My plan had been to go into school to drop something off (and time it so that I'd be ...
