What have I been doing the past six months?
College, duh.

But I've been trying to clean out my room and make a little cash so I can move to a place better suited for my cosplay business. It's what I've been taking these classes for.

Still I'm putting quite a bit of my anime collection up for grabs.

Right now I have the VHS, DVD, CD, Manga, and Plush sale up.
And right now, I just finished up the Doujinshi and Anime Cel sale.

So help a gal out with her cosplay dreams and click here or here to help pay for my tution and books.

And of course, don't forget about my prints which are still available.

I dont know whether you guys are aware of this but currently SasuNaru is going against the classic couple from Ai no Kusabi, Iason and Riki, in the Yaoi Couple Contest at Aarinfantasy forum.

So, i'm begging all of fellow sasunarusasu fans who are also members of aarinfantasy to show your support by voting for them here:
Vote for SasuNaru

It just takes a few second to vote! Maybe a minute more if you want to register and join in on the fun of an extensive yaoi forum.
[Just mention me, Sakata, when they ask who reccommended you.]

The poll will close on 29th June 2007 at 2:41pm Central, so there isn't really much time!

Thanks for taking your time to vote! I hope my boys will win this, advance to the final round, and if lucky enough emerge as winner!

Don't forget my Garage Sale and Prints!

With college looming around the corner for yours truly [a month to be precise], I'm scraping the bottom of my financial barrel.

But to both clean out my room and make a little cash, I'm putting quite a bit of my anime collection up for grabs.

Right now I have the VHS, DVD, CD, Manga, and Plush sale up.
As soon as the photos come in, I'll post another for Doujinshi, Anime Cels, Wall Scrolls, and Misc Merchandise.

And of course, don't forget about my prints which are still available.

Back in December I bought myself a Visa giftcard just so I could order myself some goodies online. Seemed like a fair shortcut than asking friends to do so on my behalf and paying them back in concealed cash.

I first went to etoyer.com where I found a nifty Ishida figure.

Then I found discountanimedvd.com and was blown away by their prices. The first order had problems because they were out of stock on some of the gashapons I'd ordered. I was fine and ended up only getting a Shikamaru candybox figure and a patch. Second order had more problems because it charged my card but said payment was pending. I emailed them and they marked me as paid and I got a few more patches [gift projects for certain friends] and Return to Labrynth manga [so-so art, but any Henson geek will love all the sly references made to Fraggle Rock and other work].

Third time I made an even bigger order, using the same card. I was marked unpaid even though the money was taken. Again, I emailed them and they voided the order and asked I try again. I did, three more times with the same results.

When I made this order, my balance was $50.23.

I just checked the balance and it's now $73.08.

discountanimedvd.com made an error in my favor, it seems.

But I'm not trying them again.

I took my money to rightstuf.com, ordering the same titles I tried to from discountanimedvd.com and then some, and they just shipped half of the order today. The rest is on back order, but I'm happy.

With the exception of Galaxy High on DVD, the rest of my order is either yaoi or hentai [Mai Hime manga]. I'm a very satisfied fangirl.

Seems like I'm having odd luck from vendor errors lately. First the extra Bleach gashapon when Anistop.com mailed me the wrong one, and now extra money on my giftcard.

Meanwhile, I've got more than 50 newly scanned pieces, just trying to figure out what I want to upload and show off.

Anyone remember a little ANBU cosplay I wore last year to Sakuracon?

This one--->[link]

Yeah, some yahoo just insulted me, not over artistic merit or construction, but because I wasn't as skinny or 'cool' as Gaara.

Seriously, that sort of attitude upsets me to no end.

Then he actually replied to me to tell me cosplaying "isn't my thing". [link]

Not only that, but he made cracks at my friends.

Claiming that they feel sorry for me [link] as well as calling them emo noobs [link] .

This did not for a happy Sakata make.
