Well this is new. I didn't know we could write our own public diaries. Well a lot has been happening so let me tell you what's up.
I thought I would be able to churn out the latest project B-Werx gave me like a Lockheed Blackbird but various things have been taking up my free time.
I got fired from my first job ever, I held it for 1 1/2 months but because I was too slow in getting clothes out on a rack, they honorably showed me the door. I guess speed never was my forté even though I love it. So the next day I had my wisdom teeth removed. Painful process and one my dentist said was one of the most difficult he had ever done. It took a week but I'm finally down to feeling negligible pain. My mother has also taken a few hours of my time by volunteer work in the classroom full of kindergartners she teaches. Today being Saturday I was put to work moving teaching materials and piles upon piles of crap downstairs so she could throw a party. I'm still sneezing from all the dust I encountered. Tomorrow's Sunday so it's gotta be church with grandma. After that I have to study for my calculus exam on Wednesday. Hopefully I'll pass...
Anyway I'm still working on it B-Werx so don't get your panties in a bunch.

You had it rough huh?
Sometimes real life stuff can be too much to handle. I also have a lot of backlog with the TL works for our projects and I can feel Senpai is too shy to ask me for progress, but I let him know from time to time. I'm currently too occupied with my own work and sometimes I even get to the point where I can't take much of it. Thank goodness I can always pester Senpai about my work troubles ^_^
As thanks I always treat him to ice cream in which we would often end up talking for hours which adds to reasons for the delays on my TL works ><

Oh by the way, school started a week ago so I'll be pretty busy. I'll make time for the group but the trade off is to sacrifice keeping up with all the manga I read. cry

Hehe I've gotten more teeth removed but it hurts a lot less so it's really only more of a reason to do more proofreading. What's the hold up on the rest of the Fuku Neko chapters B-Werx?

So I'm back in class. I'm supposed to co-op again in the summer, but I haven't gotten any calls lately.
Studying is piling up. If I haven't been out of the loop yet, I'm getting out now.
I lack self-discipline!

So, uh, I didn't write this down yet, but I'm back!
I passed the semester, too! cheers
I honestly think it was the lack of involvement in manga that helped me scrape by all my classes. Youtube didn't help though. no-no
This summer semester is a co-op term, so send stuff my way and I'll work on it after work!

Wow... it's been a while, huh? I'm about 3 years into my job and I've basically been lost to the world of scanlation. I know a few other people that have moved on with their own lives too.

I was thinking a few months ago that I might get back into scanlating. After a while, I realized that the motivation and drive of sitting down with a script and painstakingly going through every line of text to pair it with the balloons on the raw page only to realize after the official release that I missed a few errors is just... fizzled out. The daily grind of being an adult with all the self-care and mind-numbing chase of putting more and more money into the bank just does not easily allow for focus on the exhausting charity work that is scanlation.

I'm tired these days. I understand a lot more and am much more empathetic to the logic behind some of the sarcastic and bitter people out there. Loneliness doesn't help.

I still love manga. That hasn't changed. The amazing stories that are told in a format that's as easy to pick up as it is to put down enthralls me to this very day. I hope that one of these days I'll be able to rise above my tired and unfocused self. I hope that then I can rejoin the ranks and do what I've wanted to do since I first joined this group: spread the love of manga.

Don't leave me out of this, yet.
