Updates: June 2001

I removed the "Save Toonami" banner because
Toonami doesn't need saving...hopefully. Apparently all of the bad
things that have been happening are for a VERY good thing, or so the specualtion
goes. Check out CNX
Toonami's article on the matter, and hope that it happens.

Well, I finished that drawing, ate lunch,
chilled, and cleaned the toilet paper out of the neighbor's yard. You will
see the drawing VERY soon.

Okay, so I finish the last update, right?
Yeah. So I head upstairs to my room to draw some stuff for a few fics I am
working on. I sit down at my desk and open my window to check on the rain.
I catch something white flapping in the wind in the neighbor's yard. Now,
this neighbor is rarely home, for he has money. He owns a pre-fabriacted
home company, and his house consists of five peices or something. It
is farily big, especialy for my neighborhood of one-story ranch houses. So
I can understand somebody toilet papering his three year old residence (he got
plastered, man; his lawn is WHITE). But my eyes saw something that
infuriated me! One of our trees, and ash of some sort I beleive, which is
close to but not over the property line, had been nailed!
Bravely I ran out into the light drizzle with
a yellow pole to undo the vadalism of stupid people. I swung my pole and
knocked the toilet tissue away, jumped and unwound a well-done job, and poked
rolls out of the innocent plant.
Then I had to pick all of the wet icky stuff
up out of the yard. But I had saved the day!
Back to drawing.

Finally. Let's leave the comment at
that.
June 3rd was my birthday (I am 15 now).
I got CD's, ping-pong stuff, money, and all that other goodness. The
family came over to celebrate my birthday and that of my grandpa and to eat cake
and homemade ice cream. I ate so much I almost passed out, which means
someone was messing with the laws of physics that day. It was all good,
especially the ice cream. But as is tradition, it was cold and rainy
during the party.
School let out Friday the 7th. I passed
all of my classes. Despite some borderline quarter grades and some hard finals,
I got all A's and A equivalents...barely. AP classes are hard, for all of
you soon-to-be high schoolers, especially AP English (gah!).
Early in the morning on Friday June 8th, I
left for vacation in Yellowstone. The whole story of the trip will soon be
on the family website, which I am in the process of making.
On to the update. I created the sweet
menu bar under the menu because I am awesome. It is awesome. I
love this layout! (Does the YAY dance)(Gets smacked by Chelsee)(Gets
mauled by the YAY police). I also made a
Hangman game and added another quote up above, in addition to the normal
design tweaks and nudges.
If you are a fan of fanfics, now is a time to
rejoice. I only have one new fanfic today, but a lot are coming up.
Dragon War
Chapter 12: Fallout is up.
This chapter was a very important step; I am almost to that fight that finished
off Version 3 (a very fun one to write and read), a very important
transformation or two (big powers to boggle your brain), and the area where the
original Dragon War began (my favorite part). I am so happy! In
fact, I am so enthused that the new Dragon War is coming out like mad and, in my
opinion, it is pretty high-quality. I expect to have Chapters 13, 14, and
15 (at least) out before month's end (haven't gone that fast since the
original). After that, well, I become limited only by my life and
how fast I can type. If you haven't been following Dragon War, now
would be a good time to start If you do read Dragon War, I suggest
you hop up and down and scream. Oh, but there is more! The next
chapter of Psychosis is nearly complete, and others should come out pretty fast.
I just started three new fanfics: Flames of Hell, Perfection Never
Dies, and This Is What I Am Training For?. The first two are
action/adventure and drama fics, repsectively, both of novel class, and the
third is a humorous mini-series. Today is a fine day for rejoicing.
Now remember that Mike Steele never sticks to
any deadlines or promised dates because he is him and therefore things like that
go against his nature. But this time, I seriously think the fics will come
out fast. Since it is now summer and school is out, MSROCAI should get
more stuff at least once a week, maybe five times a day, maybe more. The
only things in my way are un unscheduled camping trip of undetermined length,
the Airshow, my third degree black belt test(s), and housework/chilling/friends.
It may sound like a lot, but camping will be a few days, I can work while it is
airshow time, and the last thing takes up small amounts of sporadic time.
The belt tests though...I don't know when they are. I am planning to test
through my base school sometime between today and the middle of July (whenever
everyone gets around to it). I am planning to test at another school for
some rank in whatever style I want, but that date could be in a few years.
And then of course there is the possibility that the tests will be merged.
(Looks up). Big udate. YAY!
On a sad note,
DBZ
Uncensored has called it quits. I once spent an entire night reading
through the episode comparisons on that site...also concerning the DBZ fan
community, Planet Namek is
having money troubles and therefore sporadic downtime.

Finally, right? At this rate...jeez...I
used to update two, three, or four times an hour...once a month isn't good..
But patience brings good things. I took
the wonderful menu that I had and made it load on every page without a mouse
click or anything like that. Therefore, I had to change the layout of
every page. Along the way I also reworded some stuff and rearranged some
stuff.
I added some pictures of myself to the
About Me section.
Last but not nearly least, I present my brand
new fanfic Psychosis.
Chapter 1: Tsufuru-jin is all
I have up now, but I think there should be at least one more chapter by the end
of the week. I also added a new short humor fic,
Vegeta-ble.
I probably did some other stuff, but I don't
remember what...tomorrow is my birthday, by the way.
