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!

My writing: Cafe Cliche

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars.

Yay for being normal!

I am a superhero.

I am somehow still alive after working on two huge projects all weekend, not getting to sleep until 2:00, then getting up at 6:00 to ride to school in peak Tokyo Monday morning traffic to print about 60 pages of stuff in the computer lab. And then...

I am a conquistador. That is all I have to say.

(Wait, no it's not.)

In my spare time, which has been few and far between lately, I have been watching a little of Paranoia Agent and a little of Ghost Hound. Creepy mindscrew shows FTW. The former is awesome so far because durr, Kon Satoshi. And the latter is very interesting so far, and Masayuki owns, so I will definitely keep watching.

Also, taking a rain check for my Bloc post tonight - my schedule is seriously soul-crushing this week. But I was the last person to post there anyway, so consider this my saved vacation days in action.

Later, y'all~
