Just going to add one more post in here.

Eh, I guess I was too lazy to do this but now I think of it, I have to.

It’s been more than a year since I’ve written anything meaningful in this blog and even though I say I’m going to try to bring it alive, I don’t think I have a ‘strong’ passion for Japanese Illustrators and all that sort of stuff I used to be in.

I guess I’m just growing up.

Anyways, my new blog is at http://strawberryforthought.wordpress.com/. Strawberry in devotion to here~ And also since it’s still, of course, my favorite fruit.

I want to thank everyone who’s at least given this blog a view and all the friends from before that have watched me for that single month and then watch me abandon it… I’m so sorry for doing that, without even any prior warning either. Shame on me, right? I guess this is just a new adventure for me…

So as I go, shedding my wings and flying into the ethereal night sky…~

Blog revivication time.

Hopefully, that happened with no problems. Inugami Kira illustration from Dengeki Moeoh December 2010 issue. Inugami Kira being in commemoration of her birthday, and less or more importantly, mine also.

So did you ever think I would ever, EVER, EVER COME BACK? Me neither. I was very doubtful ever since I kinda left the blogging scene and the gal gaming scene (THAT’S NOT EVEN REAL GAMING FFS).

Yes. Yes. I am pretty much dead. Albeit…

I’d never think that within around 2 months my blog’d be this dead, but after checking my email and seeing that I did have some comments pending, hmm…

Anyway, onto the latter. I’ve bored you all, haven’t I? With less than ANY chatter in my blog, I’ve decided to TRY to resurrect it, but let’s see how far I go. I missed 2 monthly synops on this blog. Aagh. MUST. CATCH. UP. But anyway, I’m addicted to some new kinda thing. Let’s see… showcasing… aaaand…

YEAH, THAT. Actually in my last blog post I did mention that I was going to play S4, but be aware of this, I NEVER ACTUALLY THOUGHT I’D BE ADDICTED TO IT. I’m not kidding. Actually, for some people, rank 35 takes a sheetload of time to get to. Rank 35. That’s a crapload of games. Crapload of sitting in front of the computer eating cup noodles with sweet and sour sauce and lemon juice in it, with more than enough strawberry pop to go around. MORE than enough. Well, this being, my blog won’t be updated as much, but if I’m going to be addicted to this game… god, so be it. So this blog… will… talk… about… S4 League! Shame on me. The every so often occasional blog of S4 League. I’m glad I signed up for S5 Source. Dunno if writing about S4′s going to increase my hits but I’m damn sure I’m going to do what I can.

Oh it HURTS. I must check the imageboards for everything I missed after Comiket. Must. See. And I’ve lost my fanboying blood too. I’ve LOST it. However, boards at S4 fansites like S5 (S4source) much like any animesque game, just emphasize putting up random anime pics, and I think I’m going to do that, actually. Sounds real fun.

That being said, umm, *freestyling off my mind here* I won’t be doing any more artist highlights until probably when I get into the ‘massive fanboy imageboard lurker’ mode again, but otherwise, my Japanese? It’s still being brought up, actually. In North American S4 Server, actually, there are Japanese players here and there. I usually talk about that on my msn, nowadays, if you want the latest on what I’m doing, go check out my msn, on the top there in the ‘About’ tab. I don’t really use my twitter anymore, feel like I’ve been stalking too many artists, maybe that’s why ‘Cradle’ blocked me, maybe I’ll remake my twitter again, I don’t know, but I’m afraid to look at the followers.

Oh how I miss being part of the crew. But ever since now it’s been like 2 months, I am, actually, QUITE the SKILLED at S4. Being addicted to it for 2 months actually has made me… yeah. I have like, NOTHING, to say, about that. I’m just addicted, that’s all… How many times have I said that? Pretty often, I think. I’m like a scientist on how weapons work. You go on S4 right now and ask me about how a certain gun works, I’ma try my best to like, help you out. Give long speeches, chances are. Like this blog. I like playing Hybrid Striker, it’s real fun.

Anyway, at the moment I’m supposed to be working on homework, but my next blog is PROBABLY going to be about S4 League. Just saying, man. DJ MAX did this to me. Beatmania did this to me. Can’t blame a fanboy’s interests. I’m sorry~ GOMEN.

*insert awkward welcome back here*

NO. I’m NOT DEAD. Personally from the Amure.

Yeah, you heard that correctly. I’m not dead. Why? SCHOOL’S STARTED. And just to give you that *woo heads up amu, you need to get your game pumping writing out these words*, I still am. It’s just not coming to me since… it’s school. What you want from me?

Anyway, now to share on with my personal, personal things which I’ve tagged. For the first time actually! Real life, yo. After this I might escape to twitter to share this. Wonder how many replies I got. *shrug*. Either way, let’s get started.

Busy Busy Busy!

The title name says it all. Yup. I am avid busy as heck. This is mainly because school’s taking my time up, preparing, sleeping on time, and there is so much data to catch up on. Comiketto 78 is in like 5 days. I would have updated JITP list, but Ryohka does her own ekaki-list herself. I just have to index them… index index index.

That being said, I’ve picked out an artist to finally do another highlight. Tsukigami Lunar. This might go pretty well to be honest! I’ve learned a lot about her and her art style is pretty nice.

Ii-kun’s birthday is coming up. Unfortunately, it indeed is on Friday the 13th. NOOOOOOO!!! Kowai da yo! Kowai da yo! It’s alright though. Nevertheless I will wish him a unfortunate fortunate happy birthday!

They let me move in with the anime-sharing.com people. Solistrasora’s agreed to it, something like that, so I can move in with him and start blogging with him too. It’s just when I’ll do it, which isn’t in a long while. LonelyAmure @ wordpress.com seems pretty fitting for me as of the moment. :3

Anyway, that’s all. I wish I could write more, but sadly, I’m not in the highest moods. SCHOOL.

P.S. S4 is taking the hell out of my soul. I really need to do something else. @ _ @

Consistency Is Key

Hello, everyone~ It’s Amu-kun, like always, and probably never going to change in a while. So… what’s been happening lately? Well, I can tell you this much things if you’re still reading. And… it’s going to be long. Sort of. Hopefully not that long.

#yaplog? J-blogging aimed towards a female audience.

I promise I would cover this in my last blog post so let’s start. Japanese trends are picking up in Twitter. Yup, they are. More blogging and social services are now using twitter as a means of sharing in Nippon. Oh yeah, and that lunaticjoker picture was an accurate representation of cute Japanese girls I would date. They have good taste. I have a Sony VAIO EB. That pink one is a Sony VAIO CW (which costs more, yaa). They got Sony MDRXB700s.  Much love. Anyway, continuing on. *oh and that sundae looks so good*

New computer is awesome (and a load of other things)

Yup, it’s awesome. It’s been like 3 days using this nifty thing, installing software, plugins, themes, you know, getting used to it. Kind of like moving to a bigger home. There’s more stuff I can put around, more capability, and yet to discover for me~ W7 is pretty nifty and I really like it. Pretty nice.

As of the moment right now, I’m uninstalling stuff from my old laptop so there’s more space and I’m moving new stuff into my new computer. So far it’s been really smooth going and sleek. Though there’s only one thing I really REALLY want to do right now.

I wanna hack my Zune. No, not bring a hatchet to it, but I want to get into the workings of my Zune and add some pretty sweet stuff in, say like syncing from other kinds of players than just Zune player, which IMO does a real bad job of adding metadata. I’ll get into that later, and hopefully, once I complete that, I’ll have more time to cover on what I really need to cover on this blog…

…and that is… Japanese Illustrators. Oh you guys are wonderful, lol. Picking what I was thinking was going to be the most popular anyway because Amu-kun has such a high taste for writing about that. Yes, I will focus on Japanese Illustrators. Yeah you guys… I’ll do my best to pick out another illustrator to highlight because I’m having debates over which I should choose.

JITP is at a stall right now because I’m still moving stuff from one computer to the other. Japanese pop culture and trends once again, I might get around to doing it later probably covering one of the latest twitter trends to hit the charts around 2 days ago.

#yaplog. YES. Why the heck do people hash yaplog and don’t know what the heck it is? I will definitely cover it later though. As of right now though, I can tell you that yaplog is a blogging service just like ameba, ameblo, livedoor, fc2, tunabe and a whole lot of other blogging services in Japan. Yup, Yaplog.jp now supports twitter for all your microblogging, casual-blogging, and macroblogging (if really, you’re into that thing).

That’s it for this post, and I will cover some nice things in the following days to come. And meanwhile, Iggy better stop being busy. I’ve made more than enough references to him, and I know he’s busy with the anime-sharing.com blog with Solistrasora and crew, but he should come back. I miss Iggy and Soso~ *cries* ~Aww, don’t cry Amukun… they’ll come back soon~

And that’s personal stuff. Again, what you can help me do right now is to pick an illustrator I should highlight and ‘research’ into. I personally am thinking about p19 (who I am thinking about a TON).

P.S. Shout out for Taijou-kun (taikutsujoker) for finally making his first random post! Check it out here. I personally liked it a lot. Go ahead and read it. Oh yeah, and it’s tradition for me to nuke text. I feel like it~ fufufufufufu~ *evil kawaii laugh*

LonelyAmure got a new computer!

Yup! LonelyAmure got a new computer. Straight how you read it. This is probably why I was absent for nearly the whole day, and darn, it is not a good way to end the month (even though I wrote my synopsis already).

The certain model of the new computer I got is a Sony VAIO VPCEB24FXM/I. It’s white, sleek, and just… really cool. I’ll give you all the specs right now so you can have a chance to ‘spec’ulate. Oh yeah, and I took pictures but it’ll take around a week to do so. I never sync my camera. LOL

• Processor : Intel Core i3-350M Processor / 2.26 GHz
• Graphics : Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD
• Display : 15.5″ / 1366 x 768
• Total Memory : 4GB
• Storage : approx. 500 GB
• Optical Drive : DVD +/-  RW +/- R DL/RAM
• OS : Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Ok, maybe not top grade, but I still am happy. This 3 year old laptop won’t hold on much longer for what I need to do which includes like having 20 tabs open at the same time, Photoshop (without the brushes pixelating), and a whole bunch of other stuff.

That means my dad’s going to be using this computer which works well for him and which he really likes. Of course, I’m going to have to clean out my drive so it’s easier for him, and that took up most of the day, really. Tomorrow I might be able to be up and write something extremely long like last time on my illustrator highlights but that’s not in chance of favor as of right now. There is still a ton of dark corners I never knew I had in my HDD (though I don’t save to it a lot since I have an EHDD).

Other that LonelyAmure getting a new computer, now we move to the sort of drastic news. Well… less drastic, but more like strange. Misaki Kurehito has blocked me via twitter, so I’m not allowed to list her or take a look at her updates without going to her page personally. It kinda pisses me off. The half bad things? That includes never getting around to doing an illustrator highlight on her because for one, that’s just rude (even if I am an English speaking foreigner), and if it was a mistake, it’s been more than long enough. Therefore Misaki Kurehito will stay indexed but keep a wary eye out of following her because she might be tolerant of having followers outside of Japan. I find it really strange, I really, really, REALLY do. The majority of Nipponjins that share a good, normal, consistent, happy life highly like westeners as fans like me, a Californian. I don’t know. I just don’t know. She might be different from other illustrators. She might abhor having fans outside of Japan. *shrugs* I’m not too sure about Ii-kun (Iggy), but I have a high suspicion that Kurehito blocked Iggy too, because I don’t see Iggy following her either. Don’t ask me if she blocks you, because I left a note on the index there. =<

Other than the bad news, I updated the list with a couple more people! Which is wonderful. JITP list is up to about 120 but I’m always looking for more. It hasn’t gotten as big as others but I’m still being patient with it.

That concludes it for this short short post. Be prepared to read an EXTREMELY long one tomorrow if I’m fast and lucky with this new laptop I got. Oh, we are going to spend so much time together~

And oh man, this cookies and cream ice cream bar is great. I better stop typing otherwise my keyboard’ll get sticky. XD

LonelyAmure’s blog has hit 1000 hits.

That was actually pretty fast… No doubt about that one. Amure-kun’s blog has already reached 1000 hits. Let’s see how long it takes to get to 2000.

And that also means… YOU READERS HAVE FULFILLED MY WISH THAT I PUT INTO MY MONTHLY SYNOPSIS! IN A DAY! WHAT A MIRACLE!!! Σ（°ω°） ！！！！
