II. First things first: why did it take me so long to find this picture? SO PRETTY OMG. They are so happy and sparkly. (And I am going to post My Thoughts On
kiraraku post at some point, 
lacus, I just haven't been able to get them coherently together yet. Um. Oops.)III. Big important animuuuu news! First episode of D.Gray-man is out subbed! The quality is kind of dubious, but eh, I'll probably be able to guess at what's going on, at least.
IV. Most importantly in this entire post (which just proves how dumb and pointless a post it is)...Last Character Standing (Naruto Edition) ROUND TWO!

Eliminated: Kiba, Hinata, Ino (;_; even though I wound up voting against her. I should have made it Sakura vs. Temari and Ino vs. Hinata...although that would have sucked too), Neji, Chouji, Asuma, Kankurou, Kabuto, Anko (by two points), Shizune, Tonton, Danzou, Zetsu, Kin, Sasori (by two votes), Sakon/Ukon (;_;), Sai, Tobi, Yuugao, Hiashi, Hayate, Itachi, Kidoumaru, Hidan, Chiyo (by two votes), Kakuzu, Iruka (by one vote), Fugaku, and Yoshino.
Orochimaru and Zabuza tied, so they both move on.
Shino gets a by this round because he pwned Zetsu with 27 points.
V. My latest fic prompt meme is still open, with twelve prompts left to choose from. Written so far: Kakashi/Sasuke, Saber<--Archer, Mwu/Murrue, Dearka/Miriallia, Auron+Lulu, InoSaku and InoChou, Kakashi/Rin with Rin-->Obito, Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura, Tsunade, and Sasuke/Sakura.
