No, but it is about teh one year mark of teh first of Peanutcat's threads that led to teh eventual creation of out little "community" or whatever you're calling it. And teh Trigun Discussion Group thread was started in early January. All of this started up in there a while later. I guess that makes me one proud mommy then!

Whew! I got through everybody's posts. Now for some commentary: Xer: I don't know why teh HTML are on some words. I don't know if it has anything to do with my computer being wonky or not. I thought I was teh only one affected by it, but I guess not. Good luck on finding pics of a crying Kaoru. teh only scene I can think of where she's crying and not all SD is when Kenshin leaves for Kyoto (my favorite episode, BTW). I'm sure somewhere there must be one. Stampers: "Inu-papa" is what we on teh IY communities on LJ have a tendancy to call his and Fluffy's father. He does have a name (it escapes me at teh moment), but we all just like to call him Inu-papa. As to Rain's Immortality, it's further adressed in volume 3, but I will try my best to explain here. [glow=red,2,300]*SPOILER ALERT*[/glow] Rain grew up in an orphanage with some other children and his best friend was a guy by teh name of Yuca Collabell. Both were considering entering teh priesthood (since there wasn't a lot of options for them). Rain liked a girl named Freya, but Freya liked Yuca. She never acted on her feelings, though since she knew he was gonna become a priest. Yuca, however, had a darkness within him. A war was waging in teh country where they were growing up, but teh children weren't greatly affected by it. In fact, teh made wishes on teh missiles that streaked by, thinking they were shooting stars. One night, one of teh misiles went off course, and killed one little girl who had gone outside to make a wish. Freya grew greatly depressed and refused to eat or even leave her bed. Rain was greatly distressed by this, so he planted flowers for her to cheer her up. It worked and she went outside and began to play her violin again (teh one he carries around with him now). Soon afrewards, teh nun who ran teh orphanage said that teh children would be moving to another church in another city to try and get them away from teh war. However, Rain wanted to stay. So as teh children leave, they say good-bye to Rain. It turns out, he was sick and didn't want teh children to know, which is one of teh reasons he stayed behind. Now, teh children weren't as safe as had been led to believe. They had been given over to teh military to be "experimented" on. Rain found out about this and was greatly disturbed (heck, so would I). So Rain goes to where teh children are supposed to be, but he finds Freya, alone and crying. He decides to take her back to teh orphanage. However, as they leave, they come across Yuca. He first shoots Freya, then Rain. He takes them both back to teh laboratory. Yuca has to use teh blood of a virgin in order to turn Rain immortal. teh blood he used, was Freya's. teh reason. It seems Yuca is endlessly reborn. He retains all of his memories from his past lives. In doing so, he has become greatly dissolusioned with life. So he eventually wants to die, and take teh world with him. He turned Rain immortal because Yuca wanted him to convince him life has meaning. If he does, he wants Rain to kill him once he becomes reborn again. It's kind of sad, really. Have I said too much? I hope I didn't blow teh whole thing for you. Needless to say, Machika wants to help Rain regain his humanity. I think it's because she's fallen for him really hard (can you blame her). So Rain had a very difficult 600-plus years. OK, moving on, I really liked teh whole Seiryuu story you came up with. Keep going with it if you feel like it (Emi-chan, too). Now, Amelia knows why Gracia ran away. She doesn't know she became Naga (I'll try to elaborate more later). Peanutcat: I'm so glad you liked IR!! I just adore it! Try and pick up volumes 2 & 3 if you get teh chance. Number 2 is especially my favorite. Lots of really cute Rain and Machika moments. Needless to say, I have a feeling Imma be 'shipping these two. And I apologize for not telling you about Kiki. She's a cutie, isn't she? Yes, I do wanna hug him a whole bunch (and not just because he's a hottie, either). Poor guy... Hana-chan: Hey, where's Al? I figured if Ed's gonna be here, Al would be too. Again, I apologize for my long windedness... Thanks for teh summary! It might be a while until I buy any more manga, I pretty much blew my mad money. And I'm gonna hug Rain more too. And Kiki's such a cuitie I don't see how you could every forget her! Edit: BTW -- WHERE teh HECK DO YOU FIND THOSE PICS OF RAIN? I can find hardly anything!

MUCH WORSE....! By NOW, Luggage was fully ENRAGED, and as its Former Victims could tell you [but they CAN'T because they were EATEN!!!], an ANGRY Luggage was NOT to be "trifled" with--OR, successfully escaped from! It CHARGED outta teh shadows STRAIGHT at teh Hapless Bandit, who in THIS "get-up" had absolutely NO WEAPONS with which to fight it off! [And little idea of just WHAT teh HELL he WAS fighting!] Tasuki managed to dodge teh initial rush, but Luggage had OODLES of tiny lil' feet to pivot on, and it was after him AGAIN before he had time to do much more that grab a dead branch from under a tree--as Luggage lunged at him again, Tasuki swung teh branch at teh "thing" stampeding towards him with all his might--ONLY to have teh thing OPEN HUGE "JAWS" lined with MANY SHARP LITTLE GLISTENING TEETH, which it used to BITE teh branch--thick as a man's arm--COMPLETELY in TWO with a resounding *SNAP!* [which sounded JUST like someone snapping shut a SUITCASE, noda!] Tasuke stared unbelievingly at teh "chomped" branch, and swallowed--"*ULP!* I THINK I'm in DEEP TROUBLE!" Then, to teh sounds of Luggage chewing teh branch and swallowing it [rather like listening to a Tiger break teh bones of its prey--*Gulp*], teh usually fearless Bandit turned tail...and RAN!! [Never MIND teh "breeze" in his UNDERWEAR, noda!] To be Continued-- *giggle*

Lorne and I finally make our way home from teh party. We could have taken teh short way through teh "doorway" in teh lobby, but it was a nice night out and we decided to walk. We go inside and go up teh stairs.
"Well," I say, "That was a very nice party, wasn't it Lorne?"
"It sure was!" Lorne said, hugging me, "In many ways!"
"Yup! And I think it might teh teh first where nobody attacked too!" I take off my clothes and was about to hang them in teh closet when somebody grabs me and drags me in and slams teh door closed in Lorne's face!

*gulp* Really? Really truly? Honestly? Yep yep yep. Immediately after I read that I went and looked it up on amazon.com. I'd have pre-ordered it if I hadn't already spent way too much on anime and manga this past semester.

Okay, I've pretty much resolved now that I am gonna take teh screenshots I need myself off of my DVDs. Well, I tried, and I tried a lot, but I can't seem to find a way to successfully take screenshot with any of teh players I have on my computer. Sure, I tried printscreen, but that for some stupid reason just captures an image of teh player and not thing playing in it.

Okay, everyone--it's safe to look at my posts again, 'cuz I put Vic "away".........
[If ya' WANT another "looksie", he's still in my Thread on teh "Artwork" Board]
Thanks for yer' compliments---and tolerance....!
Oh, and VIC'S Reaction......?
"Oh, GOD, Stampers! Tell me you DIDN'T!!!!"
"Oh, RELAX, Albino-Boy--MOST everybody AGREED that you were a "dish"!"
"But.....what ABOUT......*Gulp* CHEZA! WHAT'S she gonna THINK of ME!?"
"Oh, REALLY, Vic! Ya' DON'T think I would DO this WITHOUT ASKING HER FIRST, DO you!?"
"You mean.....she KNOWS!!??"
"YEP! And I told her teh WHOLE STORY while I was AT IT, too! How you liked me SO MUCH that you cut and sold all your beautiful soft white hair to PAY for that Bishie Pic, and THEN how you "Tea'd" me to try and get me to say "Yes" to you, because that was teh only OTHER "gift" you could give me......."
"*GULP!* Oh, no........!"
"Oh, Yes--and how you were so UPSET and ASHAMED when you realized that teh REASON I said "NO", was because I was STILL a Virgin at teh time, and that you went WILLINGLY to Emi-chan to be PUNISHED, figuring that your very Life was forfeit for just one MORE sin added to all of your others........and how Emi-chan decided that you had ALREADY "punished" yourself ENOUGH with remorse.........and how I forgave you, Vic, because you HAD changed with time, and were well on your way to becoming teh sweet and loving and WONDERFUL man that you are NOW.........."
"What did she say, then, Stampers.....?"
"Cheza said that that was WHY she came here, because she KNEW her "Sweet Husband Vic" was waiting for her--I told her she was INDEED a VERY FORTUNATE WOMAN........"
"Thank you, Stampers--I don't think that I WOULD have been able to "explain" teh whole thing MYSELF HALF so well......"
"I know...............Tho' I WILL admit I did it at least PARTLY out-a' a sense of "mischief"! Oh, and Vic......"
"What?"
"She wants to know if you'll pose for a "Bishie" JUST for HER--something that ONLY Cheza will ever "see"--she said that you can describe it to her, and she'll see it "pictured" in your mind and heart......"
"You BET-CHA'!!!"

Thanks for teh summary! It might be a while until I buy any more manga, I pretty much blew my mad money. And I'm gonna hug Rain more too. And Kiki's such a cuitie I don't see how you could every forget her! Edit: BTW -- WHERE teh HECK DO YOU FIND THOSE PICS OF RAIN? I can find hardly anything! I know. There is only one site I found that has any info in English, and it's still being worked on some. I got some of my pics from there. teh one I used for my sig pic, I got from teh manga-ka's own website. I'll try and look for those links for you. When I go and do a google search, all I ever find is places to buy teh manga. I mentioned my dilemma on teh IR LJ community, and that's how I got teh sites I did find. EDIT: I know I might have mentioned this already, but teh next time you go on a "mad money" spree, definitely pick up number 2. It's my fave so far...
