OH. MY. GOD.
My sister just went out to Staple and got the dog an Easy Button.
An Easy Button.
There's and explanation for this madness, really, there is. Jill, our dog, is 14. She's old. Old things have problems. Jill can't tell us when she has to go out. So, we're trying to make it easier for her to tell us she's "gotta go". So here I am watching her learn to press the button via Cheerio rewards. It hasn't even been 10 minutes since she started and she's already getting it.
I hope to god we get around to taping this, because it will SO go on Youtube. If only we could program the button to say "Poopy".....

As I mentioned before, I'll be taking a break from translating for a couple of months; chapter 4 will be translated by a friend of stzo, my "boss". I plan, however, to be back with Aarinfantasy by spring for the final chapter and to do more work with the group through the summer. Right now I'm just too busy with work, school (well, that's always taken up a rather large chunk of time), and a speech for Japanese. Once SATs and the hectic Easter season at work blow by, I'll have more free time again.
Then again, since I have an apparent problem of contradicting myself, I may start up again sooner.......
Thanks to all the fans of "Boku no Koi no Hanashi Himegoto" for making my efforts time well-spent. Also, thanks to kurogane, the editor for "Boku no Koi", stzo, and Aarin. And stzo's friend who will be taking my job.

Honestly, I meant to post some stuff a lot earlier and I feel awful because I've been on the same page in my translation for over a week. I swear the final page and half is taunting me. So finally I've gained access to a computer after four days but I still haven't finished the chapter. Ed's had a kitty cold which is making her especially clingy and if I'm out of my bedroom (where she stays most of the time), but still in the house somewhere -such as downstairs on the computer trying to work- she'll start crying.
I can't stand to hear a kitten cry, people. I'm too soft.
However, being the six-pound wrecking ball that she sometimes is, it's hard to get work done when she's downstairs with me because I've got to keep an eye on her.
So, due to the above mentioned circumstances as well as others unmentioned, here I am in my bed with my mom's laptop. My translation work will have to wait, at least until this evening when my sister will be home to (hopefully) keep an eye on Eddie downstairs while I work.
I apologize to the girls at Aarinfantasy, especially the readers of "Boku no Koi" for not being able to keep my "it'll be done by Christmas" promise. Really, I'm usually good with setting due dates for myself. Granted, I tend to procrastinate and cram at the last minute.
If it's any condolence to you, Eddie says hi; she's playing with the laptop cord. Also, if anyone is in the area, I will be attending Tekkoshocon this April. I'll probably be there during late morning to the evening on Saturday the 12th. I'd love to meet some of you, not just my LJ friends, but anyone from Aarinfantasy, too.
Lastly, I truly intend to get the chapter out this week. It'll probably kill me though because I have work 3 nights in a row and midterms are starting this week. (Isn't high school great?) Please send flowers and doujinshi to my funeral.

You can also expect during break, a spork of sorts on my LJ and the latest chapter of "Boku no Koi".
On that note, and due to an unexpected e-mail: To any and all scanlating groups looking for a translator, who happened to stumble upon one of my old posts or the like, I am ALREADY working with a group. Thank you.

**However, to the fans from Aarinfantasy, after this chapter I will probably have to put "Boku no Koi no Hanashi Himegoto" on a brief hiatus. Meaning, I seriously doubt I'll be able to give the final chapter a definite release date, much less be released any time before Easter. School, combined with my new part-time job is taking up a lot of (formerly) free time. If you would like my guess at the release date of the final chapter, I wouldn't expect it any earlier than mid-April. But of course, things can change and maybe, MAYBE I'll have it done by then or at least May. -Meyham

Eventually.
Because I really do intend to have this chapter done by Christmas. No lie.
Now if I could only convince MYSELF.

Figured I'd try it out since I found, like, 4 of my friends already did. Surprisingly, many of the statements are true!

Yes, I'm still alive.....just been busy!
I the little free time I had, though, I managed to find what I now consider the best piece of RenjiByakuya fanfiction I've ever read (so far). I honestly don't even remember how I found it, it was a week or so ago, but I've read it twice since. The fic in question is called "A Cure for Loneliness" by
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
day_eight. It can be found here, on Beautiful Devotion, a Byaren community. So far, "A Cure for Loneliness" is four chapters long, with the first chapter split into two parts. I don't want to give away too much of the plotline (Yes! It is yaoi AND it has a plot!), but I will make a point of saying that it is Byakuya-uke and -aptly- labeled NC-17. Also applaudable is the characterization; no weepy-uke Byakuya here! Although the main characters are Renji and Byakuya, many other characters appear throughout the fic as well, and as far as I could tell were in-character, too. The grammar and style is wonderful and the lemon scenes are steamy yet tasteful. I'll also mention that there is no bondage, something I've noticed a lot of lately in byaren or renbya, in this fic. If bondage happens to be your thing though, I would highly recommend checking out any of the works by lcpdragonslayer who is also a member of Beautiful Devotion and has teamed up with day_eight on occasion.
