    The single most important chapter of Dragon War is done.  The rest of the fanfic takes off from this point.  Dragon War Chapter 13: Archangel is up and ready for reviewing.
    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 entered Goku Girl's Sennenki Dragonball Fanfic Contest; hence the image on the Main page.   I also put a blurb about it up in the contest section in case you are wondering which fics I entered.
    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.
