OK, it seems I've gotten to the point where I might have to spill the beans about Akito to Stampers. Normally I'd be willing to wait until it came out in the English volumes, but since that's a fair ways away and she's begun asking questions, I might have to break down and do it. I did tell elantis, and she's very good at keeping it secret. Of course, I did make her take a blood oath... ~_^

I think my speakers might be working again... somewhat. *sighs in frustration* I wish they'd cooperate more...

I think I'm getting to the point at work where I might have to come into work and hour or so earlier for something called 'cycle counting.' I think it has something to do with visual inventory and it needs to be done before the shop opens. *flails*

And now, meme time!

LJ Interests meme results

1. anime:
   I've been into anime for over 4 years or so. I remember I got into it due to 'InuYasha.' Now, I'm not one of those RIF's but I still enjoy it from time to time. Needless to say, my facination has only grown as evidenced by my growing collection.
2. calhoun/shelby:
   Two of the main characters from 'Star Trek New Frontier.' Also one of my favorite pairings (my other one from this series isn't exactly canon... yet {read further down}). They're so much fun to read about. They act like a normal couple with disagreements and such, but that's what makes them great. They seem so real.
3. csi:
   One of my favorite shows. I almost never miss an episode. It's one of the shows mom and I watch together on a weekly basis. My grandmother knows not to call when it's on.
4. haru/rin:
   From 'Fruits Basket'. Ysa was the one who really got me to 'ship them. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she writes such excellent fan fic about them. So much angst and drama, but they're so devoted to each other and love each other so deeply.
5. inuyasha/kagome:
   Another one of my 'ships. Probably one of my first ones, actually. There are times when I just wanna say, "Just confess how you two feel for each other already!" But of course, that's not gonna happen until the end of the series. At least, I hope it does.
6. mars:
   The manga series, not the planet. I was never really into shojo, but this was one of the early ones that got me interested in the whole genre. Typical story. Good girl falls for bad boy. The art is absolutely lovely and the characters are very compelling.
7. samurai champloo:
   Ahh, Sam Cham. A series about two hot looking bad asses fighting baddies... and, on occasion, each other. Toss in a girl and some wacky storylines (along with some ass whuppin' action) and you have the makings of one hot show! Oh, and I have a serious crush on Jin...
8. star trek new frontier:
   A book series written by Peter David. Strictly a novel series, it follows the adventures of a somewhat cavalier captain and his crew. Their lives, loves and space battles with a dash of humor mixed in. Truly excellent. A definite must read (and I'm not just saying that because I run a community for it).
9. vash/meryl:
   Probably my number one 'ship. I just love them! I can't even remember when I first started 'shipping them, but I've been doing it hard core for a looong time. I even made a community dedicated to them. There's just so much I love about these two together. They bring out the best (and sometimes worst) in each other. *squee*
10. xyon/soleta:
    *giggles* Probably my #1 'ship from the 'Star Trek New Frontier' series (just barely beating out Calhoun/Shelby). Xyon is Calhoun's son and Soleta is the former science officer from the Excaliber. I never really started 'shipping them until I read 'After the Fall' and they shared a scene together and shared such chemistry. Now he just needs to get over his old girlfriend and everything will be all set... *rubs hands together in wicked glee*

My mom is the same way with Monk (you know, that detective show on USA network). I can never remember what day or time its on, so when I call while she's watching... :P

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the one annoying thing about USA Network. It shuffles it's shows around all the time and the seasons are really weird.

There are people who don't know about Akito? I'm not even in the fandom and I know about Akito. I guess some people are more resistant than I am to clicking on links that say "Spoiler."

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Really? *is dumbfounded* How did you find out about it, especially since you're not in the fandom?

And my friend has been following the anime, not the manga where it was revealed.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

I think it was rabidfanssuck but I'm not sure. Definitely someone reporting some very over-the-top reactions.

And sure, I guess if someone is watching the anime and is careful where they click they're not going to find out.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not in the anime at all since it was made before the secret was revealed, so there's no worry there. In fact, for many of us, the anime is a totally seperate entity.

Yeah, there were a lot of various reactions. I admit to being majorly shocked, then once the shock wore off, I was surprisingly pleased.

Eeek, now there's like an automatic interest meme thing where you don't have to go through and write down each third interest by hand! Awesome.

Strictly a novel series, it follows the adventures of a somewhat cavalier captain and his crew.

I occasionally wish someone would turn it into a TV series, but then that person couldn't use the book plots because each episode would last like, five hours. Not that that would be bad or anything.

And then my vision of NF could be ruined forever, especially if they give Calhoun really pale skin (a la the cover of "Being Human") because there I'll be sitting, watching the show and thinking, "No! He was born on a desert planet! He has tanned skin, dammit!"

Now he just needs to get over his old girlfriend and everything will be all set...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but the way things were headed at the end of "After the Fall", I think Kalinda and Xyon have a good chance of getting together again. Woe. But on the off-chance that Soleta and Xyon did hook up, I think Calhoun's reaction to the news would be absolutely hilarious.

Not bad at all! Of course, they better do really good on the casting or else there'd be major complaints...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but the way things were headed at the end of "After the Fall", I think Kalinda and Xyon have a good chance of getting together again.

I still have even a smattering of hope. Nothing against Kalinda, of course. I really like her as a character but I think there needs to be a good example of how sometimes, in life, we don't always 1. Get what we want and 2. End up with the first person we fall for.

But on the off-chance that Soleta and Xyon did hook up, I think Calhoun's reaction to the news would be absolutely hilarious.

That would be interesting to see, wouldn't it? ^_^


*keeping her fingers crosses just in case*

Oh, I also wanted to ask-- 'cause I know you like to make icons-- if you wanted me to put online some of the pages that I've scanned of "Double Time" (the NF comic). In case you ever get the urge to icon. (No pressure, of course. They're just sitting around on my desktop and my icon skills are like, nonexistent, so I thought you might like them.)

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

That'd be great! It'd save me having to scan some myself...

In fact, when I was contemplating making this icon, I was gonna use images from the comic, but then I found this image on a website and decided to use it.

[pinnacles.livejournal.com]

Okay, I should be able to get them to you this weekend or by Monday!

*thumbs up*

Will do!
