So I started to work on 1-2 a little. If you know the Japanese at all, you'll know that the Saehara family is insane. I am SO ready to strangle them simply because of how they talk. I really need to find a site that teaches Japanese slang because I have the hardest times translating their sentences into English. We meet Takeshi's mother in 1-2 (Sorta), and she's JUST as irritating. I am seriously tempted to boycott scanlating those pages. >___<
Anyway, I went back to how I scanlate originally, and I think overall I like doing that better than preparing scripts. I think I started doing scripts because my computer is so wack, but it's actually more annoying that way. Normally, I translate and edit at the same time, placing the translations directly onto the image instead of transcribing them on paper and then localizing and placing them on the image later. Doing it my way saves a lot of time, so I think I'm going to go back to it.
I'm also looking at a Tales of Symphonia doujinshi. If I think I can do it, I might give scanlating it a shot, but DNAngel takes precedence over Symphonia, of course. I'd LOVE to scanlate Abyss, but lack of scans and furigana makes me avoid Abyss like the plague. What a
shame.
For those of you who I e-mailed the first chapter, don't worry about e-mailing me again for the second part. I have all your e-mail addresses, so I'll just e-mail you it when it gets uploaded. If you are downloading for the first time, please e-mail me with information on which chapter(s) you want.

So I shut my computer off today because it froze...and then I rebooted it...and it worked. It worked. I didn't have to reinstall it or anything. I was amazed....and kind of hopeful. Just maybe it'll last until I can get my own computer and I won't have to be scared of turning it off... just maybe. Knock on wood, eh?
I got three calls concerning voting for Hillary Clinton for president today. THREE. I was NOT happy. Not only am I not Democrat (my parents are Republican. I am neither), I have no plans for voting for Hillary. I have nothing against a female president; I just don't want the Clintons back in office. I noticed that the guys spoke a lot about getting jobs back in the US and strengthening the US dollar, but there was nothing about the war or the gas prices. If she wants my support she's going to have to do something about this ridiculous war and lower the disgustingly expensive gas prices (I'm starting to think the gas thing is all a conspiracy so they can fund the war more. I mean, Bush DOES own a great portion of the oil companies).
I am so tired and sick of America. >___<
My sister-in-law's baby is due this Friday. I don't know how I should feel about this. O.o
