Hello, everyone!
You have reached the rambling, the fangirling, and the general chill-pad of theOtaku's NightBeck, a.k.a Becky, a.k.a Crimson Lotus the Irish Ninja.
... okay, maybe not the last one. But people will be calling me that one day.
This is your place to chill, talk about life and fandom, and be generally crazy. So go on. Play nice, be good to each other, don't make me hurt you.
My favorite series: Princess Tutu, Ookiku Furikabutte, Mushishi, xxxHOLiC, Monster, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Escaflowne, and Baccano!

According to the Jacksonville Electric Association's website, about 84,930 of their customers are without power. And we've been one of them since early yesterday afternoon.
This is not, however, true of the person whose internet I am leeching off of.
We didn't really get hit that bad, all things considered. My mom and I actually went out in it for a bit last night to pick up takeout. But think of 24 hours without air conditioning, or even fans, in August Florida heat, and you can probably imagine why I woke up very cranky this morning. Trying to sleep in a convection oven is really not fun. Especially when you're woken up every few hours or so by things falling on the roof and transformers blowing very loudly.
Computer battery's almost run down, so I should head off. The weather seems okay now, if a bit windy, so I know the JEA crews are out there somewhere. Time to go see if I can't flag one down before this heat drives me crazy.
So for those of you who I haven't told yet, Tropical Storm Fay is going to kick my ass tomorrow morning. Afternoon. Evening. I'm not exactly sure when it's getting here (it's quite the slow storm), but it's coming, for sure. I would say "Ask my go...

1. So last night, these kids tried to break into my neighbor's car. I do believe I understand why, because my neighbor, despite having crazy expensive gadgets all over the place, does not lock his car at night. Genius, that.
Anyway, he runs out with his gun and chases the kids down the street, where they proceed to escape through our backyard. Let me repeat that: my gun-wielding neighbor and a bunch of petty thieves were running around my backyard last night. DO. NOT. WANT.
2. Tropical Storm Fay's projected track is close enough to Jacksonville to cause fun times for all. And by fun times, I mean that we'll get the typical trees falling, canal flooding, and power going out, and that's if it stays a tropical storm. Please don't become a hurricane, Fay. I will be sad.
Oy.
I'm finally getting my own digital camera! ♥ It's coming in the mail next week. And it's red! Just like my iPod. And phone. And Nintendo DS. And external hard drive. And reading glasses. I like red, okay.
So I'm going back to Boston a wee...

I haven't been making too many life updates lately! Well, it's summer, so I don't really have a life.
I really need to stop getting to sleep at 4:00AM. I mean, I go to bed earlier than that, but I inevitably will fall asleep sometime betwe...
