Was lying about, bundled up in mis-matched sweats, doubled socks, slippers and two comforters, piles of Gravitation manga around me, noticing three almost naked males moving about me, and realized - one, I really was sick if I was feeling cold while everyone else wasn't and two, I needed to put out a cap for the group.
So here is Hiro, just finishing up doing something naughty to strawberry Pocky.
At least two other people in the office are sick with this too, one having to come in and work like I have had to this week and the other should have come in today but didn't.
Definitely looking forward to having a three-day weekend starting this Friday.
My mother's birthday is today, Crockett's is tomorrow and we have to do the official birthdays celebration tomorrow. Ugh, I would really prefer to stay home, hide in the bed and be cossetted by aproned Miju and chibi Sage.
FYI: The Gravitation manga is DEFINITELY different than the anime! A few tidbits: Eiri is much more flirtatious with everyone, more 'relationships' are implied, Eiri shuts Syu-chan up with sex at least four times, once after Eiri brings a big bouquet of flowers to Syu-chan's house to try to get him out of a funk and instead boinks him, with the chance Syu-chan's sister will pop into the room at any moment.
BTW: Saw this on one of my gravitation lists: The Gravitation manga was licensed!!!!!!! Not only that, but by Tokyopop!! The first book is due out in June.. and trust me, we can count on Tokyopop for good translations, and even better, fast releases!! The second book is the beginning of August!! They also have some other yaoi titles, like Fake..(wai!) ^___^
Here is their info page on it: http://www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?propertycode=GRA&categorycode=BMG I am interested in this because one continuing storyline deals with a giant metal panda wrecking havoc on the town and it can also fly like a plane. Yep, like I said, the manga is different. It will be interesting to see what they do with some of the scenes.
I think I am going to crawl back into bed now. Gotta get better soon so I can read/beta the next R&L chapter, get feedback to Joules about Zaheen and scribble some. Haven't finished one oekaki all week and every time I have tried one it has been crap. Also have homework, of course....
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
--> to Talon, for sending me her fabulous fics, inspiring me with her writing to draw my first
illustration for a story and actually liking what I drew.
--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.
--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's
and her own stories.
--> to Lutra, the other half of the epic team, for being so supportive.
--> to Jacque' & Becca Raddittzu, we met on eBay as bidder and sellers and now we are face-to-face

doujinshi! *LOL*
