Is still looking for roomates for Animation on Display in Japantown!!!~See link here:[link]

I"ve been gone from DA for almost a whole year. When I come back there are so many new things I can do with my account. I guess it's time for me to read up on some tutorials. X_X... But at least we can do journal thumbs now, and that's pretty awesome.

Personal note: It's a bummer that no matter how hard you work to move on, others never will and will be stuck in the past forever.

Will be at Sac-Anime and at Animation on Display!!! Everyone be sure to visit our friends with Green Tea Graffti.





Tell them that Venus-Benihime Sama sent you for more information! They also in need of writers so don't be afraid to apply, they are a great group of people and they are on their way to doing a whole lot of great things in the future!!!

My 2010 Resolutions:

1) Love thy haters, for behind every successful person is a pack of haters!
2) Embrace thy Wii Fit Plus and learn the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
3) Love those who love me, Respect those who respect me, and trust completely only those who do both.
4) Watch as much anime, J-Dramas and K-dramas as time permits
5) Stay safe, sane, and clean, and only associate yourself with those who do the same.
6) Work for stability in all aspects of my life.
7) Open my heart again to learn to love, and allow myself to be loved by the right people. And to know the difference from those who do love me, and those who just wish to use me for their own gain.
8)I will forgive, but will not forget when a person does or treats me wrong ever again.
9) Accept thy flaws, and know that peeps have their own, so at least always strive to give benefit of doubt. Unless the person commits a serious wrong--then proceed to res #8.
10) Open mind, open heart, open world.

What's up everyone!!!

I know everyone is epic preparing for X-mas and then Sac-Anime, but I wanted to put this out those who are friends of mine in the Bay Area who I know don't live in the city like I do and don't wanna commute both days to Animation on Display or AOD as it's commonly now called.

You see my crew won't be able to accompany me this year to Animation On Display 2010 and I've already confirmed panels and my hotel room for the weekend. So I've decided to play roommate roulette and see what happens.

- Bathrooms are also newly renovated in marble and tile and offer bath and shower.

What I'm looking for:
~No Drugs or smoking (Alcohol is ok long as you are 21 and over.)
~If you are a cosplayer, please be respectful and make sure you have everything safely tucked away so peeps don't trip on your gear. As well as not bringing 20 bags of stuff.
~Peeps who take a shower, since you know you're paying for a shower in the room.
~Roommates must pay in CASH when they arrive to me before they can kick it in the room.

If you are interested, please feel free to note me!

So.. Life has indeed thrown many curves into our adventures.

Our paddle wholesaler closed a month after getting back to work. So all paddles are currently on hold till further notice. Yeah, I'm upset about that too.

I have been reconsidering reopening apparel. Since purchasing a new Yudu screen printer, I have been seriously contemplating coming back in the apparel world. However, the machine isn't really that great for business work because it's hard to do multiple designs and colors on it. Also, now with a lot of other artists going into the apparel lines, it's a little daunting to jump back in.

Life also is throwing a bunch of us into different places as well. And no, it's not always a bad thing, but it's not always a good thing.

We as a group continue to grow as a group and as individuals as well. So life is indeed what happens while you are making plans.

Since I gave notice that I would be returning to convention scene in 2010, peeps have been wondering if I am going to be selling again.

You know, I've thought long and hard, and I've realized that I would love to start a whole new store, but at the same time, I'm working and getting ready to go back to school, and I'm not really sure what to expect at this time.

But I am reopening one aspect of my store here on Black Friday..

Yes, I'm reopening my paddle's business. But this time, we're doing something new and mega fab for the 2010 line. I can't tell you guys everything yet, but it's going to be awesome!!! Pictures of the new designs to come very VERY soon..

But for now, it's time for me to begin the process of catching up on my anime.

Hey hey!!

It's Venus Benihime Sama!! And again I'm coming back for 2010.
