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!

Suddenly feeling very sympathetic towards my mom for having to deal with my sleepovers.

Mai had two friends over last night. They were banging around and screaming until around 1:00am, and I foolishly thought, "Well, it could have been worse - and at least they'll sleep in tomorrow!"
