Okay, I asked about this awhile back. Now I’m going to beg (and grovel and plead)!

I’m looking for someone who can write in Japanese and can type kanji on their computer, and is willing to translate “The Bishounen Harem Fruitcake Company”. I want to create a new logo for my store and I thought an animated one featuring the name in Japanese, dissolving into the name in English would be cool!

Anyone on my flist willing to take on this task please contact me via email!!!!

Much thanks in advance!!!!

Boycott eBay!

http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y05/m01/i12/s00

These price increases run between 50-90%, and come after months of substandard service from eBay. Rumor has it the reason for these massive rate hikes is due to the number of lawsuits eBay is involved in.

eBay can kiss my heiny!

Calling all Gundam Wing Fangirls
Jan 8th, 2005 by Babs

And Gundam Wing Fanboys.

And anyone else who has a clue as to what Gundam Wing is.

I need a really big favor!!!

This year I made two New Year’s resolutions. The first one I’m not going to tell ya, but the second one was to get organized and get my household back under control along with it with the help of FlyLady.

I’ve already got my “Control Journal” pretty much together, I just need a few zipper pouches to hold small items, and a handful of folders for three ring binders so I can keep things like bills together.

A looong time ago I purchased the complete set of Gundam pilots in their folder forms. Every year, even though I have purchased tons of folders for my boys, I find a pilot goes MIA. All I have left is Quatre, and he’s seen better days. *clutches to breast posessively*

Now, the last time I saw these folders was about a year and a half ago, and they were in the clearance bin at Toys R Us (and they were really ratty, otherwise I would’ve bought them). I’m hoping that somewhere there is a magical place were fangirls and fanboys can still squee over them, and that someone on my flist knows of this place.

I will eagerly work with anyone who can find them!

It’s either the G-Boys or Bratz. *cringes*
