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.

**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

Yaoi/Shounen-ai fans may recognize Aarinfantasy from Youtube or Veoh because they have been fansubbing yaoi and shounen-ai anime for a while. Their scanlation team is a new creation and we all hope we start with a bang!

Ugh. Just had my wisdom teeth removed. Not. Fun. On the otherhand, the Aarinfantasy Forums are back up.

Yosh! I've sent the first chapter of "Boku no Koi..." to Aarinfantasy. It ought to be out in early September, so please check it out! I will continue to do the rest of the book throughout the year. I hope people will enjoy it!

Alrighty! My old doujin I was working on for Andante has been taken on by Aarinfantasy. Yes, they don't do just fan subbing anymore, they scanlate! The doujin I've done is called "Boku no Koi no Hanashi: Himegoto". It ought to be released on Aarinfantasy around the beginning of September. If you like yaoi or even shounen-ai, please check it out! I felt bad wasting such a nice story before Aarinfantasy offered to take it.
