In the eve of the launch of the scanlation site I will be working on with Michan, we were talking about the staff page and what my responsibilities would be. I can just imagine the chaos. XD

michan: XD but translating nonetheless
michan: if it makes you feel better, you can put that in the profile thingy
michan: ooh… we also have to make that pretty.. the profile
me: what? “baka desu”?
michan: no
michan: just the “*points to self* newbie.. translating at a snail’s pace* or something. XD
me: XDDD

michan: no matter how many times kachou-sama tries to post the word baka (about herself) in h0rg, michan will find it and erase it. >3 muhaha

A while back I asked Michan if she could make a chibi mascot for the forum here. Just a little one for the forum banner. We talked about the details, a blond samurai.. and chibi. That was as far as we talked about it. And it was amazing the things she same up with.

So this page is for Michan’s amazing talent for creating Samu-chan (taken from the fact that he’s a samurai. ^^) The images are for the exclusive use of Swordian.

I promised to use them on the next layout of Swordian. I just have to find the right inspiration so as to not murder the artworks. ^^

I had to buy a new pair of contact lenses because my current ones are expiring soon. I got gray-colored ones this time.

I’m going to miss my current pair of contact lenses; they’re cobalt colored and I named them Anthony, in honor of a favorite character of mine by Johanna Lindsey, Anthony Malory who’s a rake. ^^ My previous contact lenses were green and I named them James, in honor of James Malory (yes, Anthony’s brother) whose my all-time favorite on all Lindsey’s characters.

What about my new gray ones? I named them Ash, not for their color, but for Acheron Parthenopaeus (don’t twist your tongues trying to pronounce it) of Sherilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series.

Yes, I have a weird naming habit.
