All must now go to tokyopop.com and vote for the People's Choice Award in Rising Stars of Manga 5! You can go and read the top 20 entires and place your vote here. Unfortunately, I was not among the top 20. Le sigh. :*( However, that is all the more incentive to work harder for next year! I've already got an idea in mind, and need to begin scripting/thumbnailing in the near future.

However, when you go to vote, make sure you do so responsibly! A big problem with the online voting system is that people are prone to take advantage of it: to tell all their friends and family to vote for a friend of a friend and such. Or worse yet, to not read through all of the entries in their entirety, or to pick a certain one because "it looks pretty." Manga is more than just pretty pictures! So please take the time to read through each and every one (read through twice, even!) decide which one *you* like best based on story, characters, art and other important factors. Then don't go force everyone else to vote the same way you do just to get your online friend into a place in the book. Let's not repeat last Presidental elections and actually vote for someone who deserves to win! So take a look, and vote responsibly! All of those in the top 20 worked hard to get there, and they deserve respect and equal chances all around.

I'll keep plugging this until people either go and do it, or until the voting time ends. ;) *PLUG PLUG PLUG*

Otherwise, life is going okay at the moment. As usual, I have many strange and piddly things to be a-workin' on, as well as other projects that are just waiting for me to leap into. On the bright side, I have successfully signed up for the new server, and am now in the process of transferring the site over. ALMOST DONE!

Going to go see Songfest tonight...alone...*sigh.* But still, it should be lots of fun. Go V-chan and her awesome mixing skills! XD

Operator status: Very busy constantly. Urgh. XP

Website reconstruction status: 80% So close I can taste it! All that's left are the little mundane things...plus, since I may be using this as part of an assignment in my Flash class, I'll be adding some Flash goodness as I go along. Be patient, the day when this is done is quite near! XD

Macromedia studio comprehension status: 59% Still learning a few things from class. Hopefully we'll be getting more into website construction stuff tomorrow, since I know very little on it. T_T

Drawing: Same old. Two Organization members are up on my DevART account. Need to start thumbnails for RSOM 6.

Writing: Just finished writing chapter 12, with chapter 13 coming up next of my Kingdom Hearts fic. Lots of Axel goodness... ^^
