Welcome once again to another translational thingy rant! Actually, this is WAAAAAY overdue. I'm 
really sorry. I had a lot of personal stress (that sounds weird ^_^;) and got sick for a while 
and was feeling dizzy and stuff and very weak and wasn't hungry at all, so I wasn't eating right 
either and as a result, I was thoroughly unable to translate. Because I'm a doof. But now I am 
eating more because I am a little better so I am ok! Or at least able to work again!

And yet...it's not enough. I meant to update on August 7th (I was trying to go for the 
one-update-a-week approach), but alas, it wasn't meant to be. I might still be able to do it 
later! But for now, we'll have to play it by ear until I'm fully well again.

Oh! It's the Kouhei chapter I'd wanted to translate soooo long ago! Believe it or not, I actually
started to translate this chapter a year ago ^_^; And then I stopped and concentrated on other
stuff and now I'm back and...I'm glad >.< Cause there were icky mistakes. I was foolish back 
then...and young...and I ate well.

Dude, I'm totally making it sound like I've gone anorexic ^_^;;; I haven't! Really! It's more
like...when you're so worried about something and you only think about that, and before you 
realize it, hey! It's 2 AM! Eating time has passed! And this goes on for several days ^_^;;
And then one day you wake up and realize, "Hey...I haven't been eating right. No wonder I feel
dizzy and weak!". And you want to fwap yourself.

But anyway! This is a neat chapter. But you know what's weird? Is it just me, or does Ito have
more people after her than Makoto? It's...kind of rare, cause usually the pretty guy will have
more people after him than the not-supposed-to-be-pretty-but-actually-is girl. Huh! Think about
it!

Makoto has...
 -Takayo
 -Kouhei
 -Sakamoto

Ito has...
 -Toki
 -Tsugumi
 -Sakamoto

Wait...was I wrong!? >.< I was wroooong! BUT! BUT!! >.< *defends her claim* Sakamoto always
pursues Ito more than he pursues Makoto! And yet...you gotta count Mako's endless string of 
fanboys at school. So I guess Mako sorta does win. But Ito has an endless string of fangirls!!
I'm kinda surprised there's no fanclubs for them at school. The budget must be low, man. 

I feel foolish, man. *goes back to work*

You know, for a lil kid, Kouhei is pretty courageous! He did what no other boy at school dared 
to do. He crossed the frontier!

o.o Uh oh... My medicine's kicking in...>.< Feeling...sleepy...

<August 23, 2002 @ 10:58 PM>
WHOOOOA! Took me long enough to get back here, huh!! O.o But you know how it is, man...>.< Yeah,
I'm just full of excuses. But...I was framed!

Anyway, today's Friday Night 80s! AWESOMMMEEE! I get good music for once! They're playing that
"The Warrior" song now! "BANG BANG! I AAAAM THE WARRIIOOOR!". I will be a warrior today and 
translate! 

Is it just me or is WJ getting really popular now? I'm so glaaaaaad! When I started out, it 
seemed like almost no one knew...no  one knew of the glory! *sob* We are WJ warriors! Maybe if
it gets reaaaally popular we'll get more character goods, man. Cause, is it just me or are there
like...no real WJ goods? I mean, other series get plushies and junk. We get a couple of clear
file folder thingies. But that's ok. We still love it. 

Oh! Did I tell you guys? I FINALLY got into the Japanese class at my college! PHEWWW WHEEEE!
Now, you all may be asking yourselves, "What the HECK were you doing translating WJ when you
hadn't had a class!? Have you been deceiving us aaaall!? Is Mako really a girl after all!?".

Well, nope! See...I taught myself (like so many others...*sob*) but...I musta done something 
riiiight because I enrolled in the Level 1 class and...got bumped to Level 3! *_*! I GOT 
BUMPED TO LEVEL 3 BY THE TEAAACHER! *sob* It was so exciting, man! And since I'm now in a class
and (FINALLY) have a sensei, I can now ask someone when I have doubts! Cause all my other
helpers were too busy and stuff. But now I can. Now I have power. Now I have an ally! 

*stops* Ok, enough bragging. -.- Bragging is bad >.< Do not brag. >.< But I was really happy!

Know what I should do? I should train assistants and make them help me! And work for me! AHAHA!
WORK FOR MEEEE! For measly salaries! But no, man. They are all just as busy as me.

>.< I'm giving myself way too much credit again. 


<October 7, 2002 @ 12:52 PM>
Well, pssshhhaaa. >.< I'm not even gonna make excuses man, but here we are back on track!

Awww, Mako's breaking poor little Kouhei's heart...;_; Scarred for life...Mako...you're such a 
heart breaker!! He's no good, that heart-breaking man! *sob!* No wonder he could dance to "The
Love Shack" so freely! *sob* Run away from that bad man, Kouhei!

Hmm...Should Kouhei say "I beg of you!" or just "Please!" again...I'll say "I beg of you!" cause
he'd be polite enough to do it and he already said "Please", man... Yes! We shall do it!

See, this is one of those things... Now I gotta say "that person" over and over instead of "him"
or "her" cause...yeah. Tsk tsk tsk... If Kouhei knew his precious Makoto-senpai was actually a 
boy... Bwahahha! Pure indeed! Righteous indeed! Beautiful indee - well, he IS beautiful... But
it's best he never find out...

o.o Who knows..he might find out in a later volume. 

WHEEE! I'M DONE! After like a million years!
