    Here is little ol' me again... remind me to stop looking through the scan gallery when I'm procrastinating on my hw... are you guys up and running for requests? ^_~

    I found this lovely scan, and was thinking it'd make a lovely layout.
    Crossovers

    However, I'd only like the left side panel to be used (I don't like people in my layouts...), but it could be rotated if needed. I'd also like my username to be on the header somewhere in a nice scripty font. If it helps at all (as far as menu bar stuff), I really like how Maplerose has her header set up.

    Hey all... any of you going to participate in the Draw a Staff Member event that was in the MTM Issues #18?

    *firefly would be super stoked if we had a good turn out...*

    Just bought a new book yesterday and it was AMAZING.

    "Zoo" by Otsuichi
    It's a collection of short stories along the lines of dark fantasy/horror. (Very Bradburian)

    Haha... asking the computer illiterate person to make the button? The only program I have is MS Paint. Don't think that'll work too well... ^_^;;

    This group needs a button... yup, a button. (So it'll show up under my groups on my userpage. ^_~)

    Oh, one novel that I love to bits and highly recommend would be "Brave Story" by MIyuki Miyabe. It has great character development. The basic plot is that a young boy (Wataru) is trying to deal with his parents' divorce and travels to a land called "Vision". He discovers that if he reaches the Tower of Destiny, the Goddess will grant him one wish. It has heavy themes of maturity, good vs. evil, personal conflict, life and death, etc. If it weren't so long I'd make my students read it. (And if you're a gamer... there's a gaming element to the story as well.)

    Thanks to Raven for the invite! I devour books like there's no tomorrow... ^_^;;

    I tend to primarily read science fiction, mystery, young adult novels, and some fantasy. (But I read almost anything as long as it sounds interesting.)

    The last 2 great books that I read were "The Book Thief" by Marcus Zusak and "The Good Thief" by Hannah Tinti. Both of which I was highly surprised and impressed by.

    Hrm... it seems our archive of past monthly display winners has been deleted. D:

    Really AR? I haven't really noticed a difference in speed (though sometimes it DOES lag a bit...)

  9. fireflywishes Moderator 5wk 4d ago

    Keep your eyes peeled... the MT Staff are working on a fun little event coming soon! XD

  10. fireflywishes Moderator 7wk 1d ago

    What do you all think of the new layout?

  11. fireflywishes Moderator 7wk 1d ago

    Congrats all on a well- deserved feature!

  12. fireflywishes Moderator 7wk 5d ago

    Okay, you all need to upload your 100 x 100 icons at the new layout so mine doesn't stand out so much... ^_^'

  13. fireflywishes Moderator 8wk 0d ago

    Y'know I've never watched/read Hellsing... one of my friends was really into it though... How is it angel?

  14. fireflywishes Moderator 8wk 0d ago

    Dude... is gaara the only guy in here? @_@

  15. fireflywishes Moderator 8wk 3d ago

    Lol, ok... so I lied. It was just a crazy week.... ;) But it's done now and now I have time to devote to MT! :D

    @yoth: There are 12 lane highways there? @_@

  16. fireflywishes Moderator 8wk 4d ago

    Deadline is approaching... Only one submission... firefly is gonna cry... T_T

    QUESTION: Is it pointless of me to think up themed displays for you all? Should I just not bother and go back to the old way?

  17. fireflywishes Moderator 8wk 4d ago

    @chrisp: I'm reading Kyou Koi... but it seems like it's been forever since that last chapter was translated!

    I actually picked up (yet another) series that I'm reading in the meantime: Code: Breaker (it's by the same mangaka as Samurai Deeper Kyo).

    If you're interested, I'm currently following: Almost ALL Shonen Jump series (KHR, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece), NANA, Zombie Loan, The One, Pandora Hearts, Kuroshitsuji, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama, and a buncha others that I can't remember off the top of my head... Oh! Goong too! ;)

    2 questions:

    1. When will we find out the results for the monochrome contest?

    2. What manga is everyone reading currently?

    As for me, I'm reading waaaay too many for how little free time I have... ^_^' Though if you haven't yet, you should definitely go check out Yankee-kun to Megane-chan! Such a cute series!

  19. fireflywishes Moderator 9wk 3d ago

    firefly has so much work that she may go MIA for the next couple of weeks... don't worry she"ll try to get back here as soon as she can...

    Got a big lesson plan due in a week as well as 2 presentations and some essays... @_@

    @yoth: Thunder... snow...? O_O I don't think I would care to!

  21. fireflywishes Moderator 10wk 0d ago

    @Tofu: Yes, end of the month is the deadline!

  22. fireflywishes Moderator 10wk 0d ago

    Talk about weird weather! We just has a morning of thunder and lightning storms! (no rain tho...)

    That almost NEVER happens in California! O_O

  23. fireflywishes Moderator 10wk 2d ago

    Don't know why I never applied to this group... Manga is about the only thing I read nowadays!

  24. fireflywishes Moderator 11wk 1d ago

    @yoth: I think usually if it's an unexplained gap in time, it may raise a few eyebrows, but with the current state of the job market I don't think it would be as big a deal.

  25. fireflywishes Moderator 11wk 5d ago

    Yay! You can come and hang out with meeeee!
