Like I just said, I've been very busy with all the hundreds of things going on in life right now! Mostly, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, tending to my garden (the nasty weed-vines have started growing. >> It's a never-ending battle...), writing
ideas for my fanfics (not the actual fanfic, mind you. XD;), and school stuff. I've been seriously thinking about accepting the invitation to
The National Society of High School Scholars... I totally forgot that I even got a "pre-invite" to them until I caught my little sister digging through my mail and rescued the real invitation. Since there is only 29 school days and some odd number of school days and week-days left, I'll soon be free and able to spread my wings away from school! But until then, that is only 29 school days that I have to do work, you know? So I might as well give it my best.
I'm definally going to update the Harvest Moon area as soon as I can. I'll probably focus on the villager pages and Kyoshi's fanfic for right now... The pictures and the screenshots will have to wait till I save up enough money for it! But that will hopefully be soon. It's a very, very slow process to earn all this money though. X_x I save so much, only 22.5% of my income goes to computer savings. 10% goes to tithing, 22.5% goes to college savings, 22.5% goes to "life" savings, and the last 22.5% goes to spendings. Considering that I get 36$ a week (considering I only
work seven hours), that is $8.10 a week toward my computer. o_o And it's an $800 computer. ... Maybe "life" savings can pause. >>;;
ANYWAY! I'm thinking about posting my fanfics, all four chapters (two of which are yet not on this site) onto the
Harvest Moon Otaku Fourms. If I'm going to do that, I've got to get the page that will explain and keep updates on everything very well. I plan to make this a big project, not just a small fanfic.
So... work on that will commence with time.

I'm going to be very,
very busy tonight with a lot of homework, but I've been writing an outline and plot for the first book of Seishun (Springtime of Life, among other things (youth, adolescent). Seishun is the new name of
A Wonderful Life, Kyoshi's Story. That title was a little too dry for my tastes, and several other people are using it in their fanfics.
I'm having a lot of fun focusing on Kyoshi and writing a story revolving around him. The best chapters are yet to come- his life isn't going to be like any other farmer's that have been in the fanfics yet!
I love writing about him so much, that when I looked over my outline, I realized that it was very, very long! So I've decided to break his life up into books. Like the game, A Wonderful Life, is broken up into chapters, I'm going to break Kyoshi's life up into books. The first book is Seishun, which means Springtime of Life. I think it's really elegant for where he is right now- just starting out, only sixteen.
I
have been neglecting the other areas of my site, however. I'm going to start updating a couple pages soon. I love going all out detailed on the characters, so expect to see individual character pages up soon, with detailed information on what those villagers like. I've been trying to wait until I get a new computer, so that I can take screenshots with a graphics link-up, but I'll have to stick to digital camera for right now...
I will be updating the Fruits Basket area as well! I have a couple links I want to put up, as well as a few commentary pages on the manga chapters and animé eposides. My goal is to get all the manga someday, in both Japanese and English, and I can take a few pics of those to share.
I'm also going to set up an area dedicated to teaching how to make cranes, and the peace that they are suppose to represent, in honor of Peace Day and all those who were killed (and sadly, are still deformed and being killed by radiation) in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Finally- over 60% of the people who visit my site (I'm honestly amazed anyone does at all, as I rarely put out a link to here) have 1024 x 768 resolution, and I'm very tired of the 800 x 600 my mother insists on, so I'm going to update the banners and the site to supporting 1024 x 768 resolution instead of 808 x 600.
I can get all this under way once my homework is out of the way, so bye!
4.11.04
This weekend has been busy, but there are updates to come!
I'm working on Chapter Three of A Wonderful Life: Kyoshi's Story (title will change~) right now. I'm going to add some updates to the Fruits Basket page and Harvest Moon: AWL page. Probally lots and lots of detail on the villagers! That's always one of my favorite things to do~
4.10.04
I've updated the About Me page, and am about to work on the next fanfic. I'm still working out what to do, though.
I'm going to add more to the Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life page! I plan on adding a villagers area and a "myth" area, where I'll be trying and testing a few of the myths that I've run across in the game.
4.7.04
I'm going to start working on all those updates- though I do have finals this week, so things
will be a little bogged down for a while. I'm going to spend a lot of my time working on
A Wonderful Life as well. Soon it'll get it's own page, because it's about to get a LOT bigger. XD
Also, I'll be fixing the Unique Floras page tonight and adding more to the character events page (hopefully to get it finished off). I might start a "villagers" page too, that'll just take time to list all the information about villagers, and hopefully pictures too! (Though, they may be crappy pictures. XD; ) Anyway, I'll get to work!
4.6.04
I've fixed a few of the pages so that they now display the correct title and am preparing for the new chapter of my
A Wonderful Life fanfic! It is going to be very long and very detailed, so it's taking me a little while to prepare everything. I hope when I get it out that you'll like it though!
Also- the Unique Floras page was acciently lost and has to be re-done again, but I'll get a few updates on that soon too! Expect lots when the weekend hits!
4.4.04
There have been a couple good updates! I've got two chapters to
A Wonderful Life the Kyoshi fanfic and added a
Character's Events page (that is still being worked on~) to the AWL section.
Anyway, I'll be adding a lot more when I get around to it~! The weather is so nice that I'm seriously enjoying being out in the garden now, but the A Wonderful Life fanfic is a sorce of inspiration right now.

Kew! Alright!! I've re-done at least this page in CSS three frame after messing around with it for a while, and it's looking really good. It'll be a LOT easier to handle these in tidy div's instead of messy tables like I was. No more copying and pasting random breaks until I thought I was gonna go mad! I'll be changing the pages and the links on the rest of the pages as well, then trying to design a basic fanfics layout...
4.2.04 * 9:39PM
Wow! I've been going over my site and have decided- since I have a feeling the amount of pages is about to drastically increase since I'll be doting on this site for a while, I'm going to revamp the pages into proper frames and make a few new hull areas. I'm going to add a proper fanfics section, so that they can all be found easily, then update the pages so that you can get to the main areas from under the logo instead of on the side. That'll free the side up for the sub-pages.
Anyway, I've completed Chapter One of A Wonderful Life. It'll focus on the life of my newest farmer in the Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life game- Kyoshi. Enjoy!
A Wonderful Life
3.31.04 * 10:59PM
I've joined the fourms on
Harvest Moon Otaku which should yeild huge amounts of information. Already I've learned a couple new tips that should make life easier! I'll be sure to update the Harvest Moon area with those tips soon...
Speaking of updates, I've added the Harvest Moon, Fruits Basket, and Unique Floras pages to the main site, so that now you can go visit them! I'll add more soon!
3.31.04
Alright!! I've been working a
itsy bitsy bit behind the scenes, because I've been randomly busy with random thingies lately! I've gotten an HM page up, but nothing on it yet. XD Just a thingy on it. I'm gonna add lots of stuff, FUN and UNIQUE stuff, because I hate spending my time just to repeat what other people have already said in every FAQ and Guide on
GameFAQs and I really enjoy the details and the random things about the game more than anything else. I'll also be adding
tons of fanfics! I can't wait to get started on those~
Anyway, I'm also going to get a Fruits Basket area up, maybe with a few scans/pics of my Fruits Basket manga, Volume 1. I'll definally be keeping a list of the release dates for the other Fruits Basket mangas, and adding several other cute things I find... Mostly I want to comment on stuff more than teach about it. There are plenty of other sites like that! I want to give the unique stuff! Like, "How to Cook Riceballs" part of Fruits Basket, or "How to Play Poor-Man Rich-Man". Also, all sorts of comments on the actual Years and their stuffs~ I don't know, whatever I feel like~
Also, I'm going to probally put up an "Unique Floras" area where I can put up random things... and later on, when I get more time and more research, I'll add an area about the practice of Homeopathy and herbal remedies later, too~
Next year, I should be able to get into C++ Semester 1 & 2, and if I do, my pretty little sitie will get major cool upates. XD Maybe even sooner than that, since my nezumi-sama knows his stuff well. Anyway! I'm gonna get started on updating the HM area so that I can open it onto the main pages...
