First off, I'd like to give a shout out to fotc of Dynasty Scans and ami of SCX-Scans. They're two fellow scanlators of mine whom I've met in person at UCLA (my current home community)! Two great people to talk to in and out of class and our anime club (although I feel they're more pro-otaku than I am since I can't read an ounce of Japanese/Chinese to save my life). And there's also anpan of Maximum7, but I haven't seen him since school started because he's so busy...
Perhaps I'll meet more of you guys in the future, eh? AnimeExpo 2009 for sure!
(Or if you're reading this and you attend UCLA's anime club, come meet us! Just pm me about it for more details)

Holiday time, so we have a holiday poll! Pretty straight-forward if you ask me. I'm guessing that most people don't celebrate it though (like me...)

You can discuss all your crazy costumes on our forum!

Sweet you guys go to UCLA too? I had no idea, i should drop by the anime club sometime just to get a chance to meet you guys.

Halloween is one of those American things I never got into.

I usually just dress up in anything that's around my house.
I had a lot of army clothes, so I just wore those!
Easy candy!
XD

I am not pro-otaku!!! I just know how to read Chinese. And I don't have any class with you. I've only talked to you in anime club.... >__>;;; Although I think I've seen you eat lunch with Songcheng, but it's too weird to say hi. lol
Oh and btw, I am not going to the club meeting this Thursday. I have a lot of crap to do... -____-

If you speak with my secretary, I am sure an arrangement can be made that will accommodate my busy schedule.

Oh, I didn't even notice the note on the top with lambchop saying that he was at UCLA (I was wondering what happened after prom/graduation for him). xD
