Lalala..ohh, hello there! Yes indeed I did feel like updating actually maybe! No, it's the time to repent and be saved, but I did put two pictures in the Fan Art section. Consider it a little Thanksgiving present from moi to..toi. I don't know French. Anywho..wow..it's been so long! I wish I had something profound to say, but...well, this is me we're talking about. I guess I will be back some day, but until then keep me close to your heart. I love you always. Yes, you.

Ah, fresh air... You'll notice that the index has a slightly different look. Sort of a fall cleaning.Karen

New coolness! My friend Lozerboy has written a very... insightful...little narrative. Check it out in the Fanfic section under Lozerboy Rants. Later!Karen

Hey, Karen here. Totally having a problem with posting this update... I can copy paste Kara all I want but not write my own. Hope this one works. ... YES! Ok cool. Uh, the update. I'm working a new section. It's called reviews, and I use it to tell you which animes rock. Please email me about these or your favorite animes. ... I'm afraid to put a link to the reviews page... -_- Reviews! Whew! Also the quote got updated.Karen

OH MY GOD!!! Someone has actually updated the site!! ::a collective gasp is heard from the random peasants:: Yeah, I tried to get of them but they're damn persistent so now I just lease out the space to them. ::Peasants give her thumbs-up sign:: Yeah,yeah, if you irritate me anymore I'm going to raise the interest rate...anyhoo, I've added some pics to the anime pics gallery; don't get your hopes up, it's still pathetic. I'll probably add more later. Also, I added the cool Soul Caliber II banner below because I was contacted by its promoters who asked if I could place a banner on the site so a banner is now present on the page for their benefit. Probably going to make an addition to Kara's Story Corner and changed the quote of the week. Well, that's about it so ciao for now! Kara

3:39 PM EST| Valentine's Day! <3 | Karen |
Yes, it's true, I have nothing better to do on Valentine's day than update! Check out Anime Pickup Lines in the Fanfic center... yeah, I couldn't think of anywhere better to put it! Thank you Sakura for visiting our site! Later *Karen*

Well, I can't quite decide if there's anything more depressing than abandoning a website for oh... six months, coming back and finding it just the way you left it, even though there are four other webmisstresses!!! ACTUALLY, there has been some activity, Kara posted some pics in the Anime Pictures section and Leeann helped some other crazy idiot in Dr. Leeann (yay!). But no one updated. I'd like to say (now that I'm done ragging on my other Otakus) Happy New Year and watch out, Valentine's Day is coming!
Yay! Spread the love!
What the HECK are YOU still doing here?? *Karen*

Hey there. All I seem to do these days is update! Well, I did it, I changed the guestbook questions.
You did what?!?!

OK, nobody die of shock or anything...
::Random peasant drops dead::
Now really, that wasn't called for at all! Anyway, the questions are different but there are still a lot of them (bravenet makes you ask that many questions... sorry!) Please take a few seconds and sign it, it will make us very happy. The SM gallery is working, but it's small.

Here's where we need help! If you have any G-rated anime jpegs you just love, send a copy to me and they'll end up in a gallery with your name under them! Just attach the file to an email w/ the subject of "Gallery Request". Thanks!
One last note, the About Us section will be worked on sometime hopefully soon. However, the Otakus are going back to high school nowadays, so we'll be kinda busy with that. Ok, I think I've said enough....
Get off your soap box already! *Karen*

Hola people! I updated some. The Sailor Moon image gallery is up but not exactly working. I'll figure it out sometime but I've had enough for tonight. Also, if you look to your right, you will notice that the poll has finally been changed! That's right, you can now tell us what you want to see more of! That's all. (Next up, the guestbook gets new questions? NEVER! Stay tuned for the next exciting update on Anime Central!) *Karen*

08-14-02
5:49 PM EST| Karen |
Good afternoon! I added some pics to the gallery under Tenchi Muyo! They might take a while to load but they're cute. I drew a cute pic of us Otakus fishing while I was on vacation, but it will take a while to get it up, so look out for it.
::Peasant who reminds me of Kara:: You're just too lazy to get off your fat butt and scan it!

Heh heh heh (off to the side)*Shut up, you!* And maybe I'll work on the About Us section... someday. The problem is, it changes every 6 months... we start something new, or get taller, or get a new pet.... Anyway, Later! *Karen*

3:19 PM EST| Karen |
Hey. Small update today. There are now 2 more pics by me in the fanart section. They would have been up on July 4th, however, the website was being finicky... Never make a website! It is a sourse of undo irritation!! Anyway, check out the pics. And Cardiff: find the script! Find the script! Later *Karen*

Hola minna-san! How is everyone today? Well, you should be feeling a lot better because I've got a crap load of updates!!! Yay! Give praise to the Almighty Webmistress Kara!
::random peasents rejoice:: Yay.
What the.....? When did we get random peasents? ::shrugs:: Anyhoo, if you look to your right, you will see that I've added two more new sections to "Funny Stuff": Dr. Leeann-a section where anime characters express their problems to our very own "doctor in the house", Dr Leeann!
Also, the first two installments of WINGTRON are up! This is a low budget "film" (more like picture book) that the Otakus created in my and Chiquita's basement about last summer. If you want to see more, bug Cardiff. She has the script.
Okay, the last two updates can be found to the left of the screen. They are: Kara's Story Corner, which is a list of fanfic recommendations by me. The next update is in the fan art. I couldn't keep Cardiff talent to myself any longer---
Random rasta peasent: She's got the skills, man!
Be quiet, you! ::throws shoe at him:: Ahem,as I was saying, there will now be, for your viewing pleasure, several pics done by Cardiff of the Otakus. Also, if I'm not exhausted by all this. I'll try to get some anime pics up too.
Whew! There is no reast for a busy webmistress!
Ja ~ Kara ;)

::The little A and B Washu dolls appear on Karen's shoulders... watch Tenchi Universe!:: A: "You are a genius, Karen!" B: "You are the greatest, Karen!" A and B: "Karen! Karen! Karen!" ::Washu laugh:: A-hahahaha!! That's right, guys, I FINALLY updated in a VISIBLE, VISITABLE way!! Head over to the fanfics and go to gundam moon s. If you've already read the other pages, here's a link to the last one!! Page 3 And I have heard said that we get an average of 3.45 visitors a day, so I know at least someone will read it. (if you wanted to be really nice you could sign the guestbook too... it works, it's just you have to scroll way over to the side because somone (Thalia) messed it up...) Sorry this is so long, *Karen* PS I think the swiming suit contest was cancelled~ too many people assumed the Otaku 5 were gay. Sorry guys, not true... *peace out*

05-18-02
3:39 PM EST| Karen |
I can't believe this... the site's still sitting here... collecting virtual cobwebs... Through a complicated turn of events (I'll tell you the whole story some time and give you a link to the site...) I rediscovered how fun fanfics really are. And, oh yeah baby, I can lose $70 but I cannot lose my composition book. That's right. Pretty Mobile Suit Gundam Moon S is being updated. After all, I've only posted up to page 16 and the story is 55 pages long... and still being written. Look for that update. Later, *Karen*

01-23-02
9:30 PM EST| Chiquita |
Hi! I actually updated! Well, not really since I worked on the Gundam Wing Movie that isn't even posted though it's coming soon. (Oh yeah and Cardiff can you send me the "script" on that because I might help you work on it if you don't mind.) But that's okay because I never updated before and I know you all missed me talking so I sorta kinda updated though it's basically for the otakus but that's okay too. Oh well. Okie dokie. See ya!

P.S. I just noticed that I was the first one to update for the new year! That's kinda ironic. Okay, bye bye!

11-25-01
6:46 PM EST| Kara |
Hey, it's me again! Aren't you all thrilled? I've just posted our new Links page. I'll get some Sailor Moon links up there asap but for right now, I'm tired. Oh yeah, and keep your eyes open for a new section, Kara's Story Corner. Ciao!

11-24-01
11:15 PM EST| Kara |
Whooooaaa, buddy, has it been awhile since someone actually updated! Has everybody had their fill of turkey and/or relatives? I know I have Anyhoo, SORRY ABOUT NOT UPDATING FOR SO LONG! (That was me speaking for all of the otakus.) Sorry, but we're just not really use to this whole website thing and we ask kindly for your patience and support. Thanks! Oh yeah, I posted the intro of one of my Gundam Wing stories, Demon Huntresses in Fanfic. No, I'm not going to post a link so you lazy people will just have to do it yourselves! I'm going to try and do a few other things so I might make another post later on tonight. And if not tonight, hopefully tommorrow. And I thought turkey was suppose to make you tired!

<10-...7, I think, maybe...-01
11:58 AM EST| Karen |
I'm updating because I'm feeling guilty for ignoring the site. (Gali, feel proud, you got one of us to update.) I guess school is really getting us all down... oh, that's right, I have to work on my history project... oh well... umm, I'll go update now.

12:04 AM EST| Kara |
Wow! I actually get to post an update! I feel so special! I just wanted to let everyone know that the last chapter that I'm going to write for awhile for "Darkness Resurrected", Chapter 8, is up! I explain why I'm not going to write in it for a long time in the author's note preceding the chapter. One of the reasons is this: Currently, Cardiff and I (Sort of Karen too; We don't know if Leeann and Chiquita are going to contribute anything, though we'd liked them too.[ Hint, hint. Wink, wink.]are working on a background story for the otakus, with the obscure pasts of all the otakus semi-revealed and then, the pasts of Cardiff and myself coming to haunt the Five Otaku in the present. Don't worry if that sounds like gibblety-gook right now; everything will become clear at a later time. Anyhoo, here's link to my new chapter for you lazy people Chapter 8 I also changed the Otaku Quote of the Week because we've used that quote before. Baka no Cardiff! And with that, I'm going to bed! I can hardly keep my eyes open! Oyasumi nasai.

7-22-01
10:28 PM EST | Cardiff | Work in progress
I began work on putting up our movie thing. Not very far into it yet. The title is "Wingtron". I changed the Otaku Quote of the Week, added my RL-lil bro's short story Shenlong and Wufei to the fanfic section, and uploaded some of my scanned drawings, so tomorrow I might start the Fan Art section (and there was much rejoicing...yay). I think that's it... Anyway see ya!

7-19-01
10:22 PM EST | Cardiff | Back home
Well, we left Kara and Chiqui's house today. Didn't do as much for the website as we could've, but whatever. It's not like there's really anyone out there who's disappointed. We did make the movie thing that Karen and Kara talked about below. That won't be up until Kara emails me all the pics we took. Their computer won't let them upload pics onto our site for some reason, so I'm gonna have to do it. I'll also start up the fan art section once they email me the pics we scanned. Karen has a scanner at her house, so I don't know why she hasn't put up her pics yet. Kara, Chiquita, and Leeann don't really like to draw, so most of the fan art will be by me and Karen, but I don't have a scanner -_-. Which means it'd really help out if YOU, yes you, would send us some of your, yes your, art. Fan fiction would also be appreciated. Oh yeah, I was supposed to point out that in real life, I don't live at Kara and Chiqui's house. Only anime-world-Cardiff does. Oh also, Karen, you might not want to call yourself Kare, that might be hard to tell whether it means Karen or Kara.
Jya!

Yo, people. I'm at Kara's house. (kara waves.) We haven't really worked on the Bathing Suit Contest thingy (hentai, keep yourselves together, it's not as bad (or good? how hentai are you people?!?!) as you think.) We're working on something else right now, and it involves the Gundam Pilots & a digital camera. (Kara hits her forehead and says: "a low-budget movie.") Ummm... seeing as we haven't really doing anything, that's about it. Kara says there is a slight chance she'll update darkness resurrected (latin music gets a hold off me as kara checks my spelling~) resurrrrrrected... um, yeah, but it's doubtful. that she'll update, i mean. aw, i'll shut up now. ps~ thanks, AMY!

6:03 PM EST | Karen |
I just posted another section of Gundam Moon S (yes, Kara, you can see the freaking premonition now... wow, I think I spelled that right!)Um... I think I did some other random stuff, too, but I forget what. Hey! Somebody thinks we're lame! Cool! (Three minutes later...) Uh-oh. What happened to the counter? It's not working for me! I didn't do anything to it, the website is just coming apart at the seams. -_-*

7-9-01
2:10 AM EST | -_- Exhausted... | Cardiff |
I just finished posting the remaining chapters of Sailor Saiyajins and Z-Scouts. That's three, count 'em, 3 chapters, 4-6, in one night. Oh yeah, I was supposed to change the poll. Oh well, I'll do it tomorrow maybe. Rrg, now Cardiff need sleep. Tired. *hopes the "you don't update enough" voices in her head are momentarily satisfied*

10:33 PM EST | Exactly 3 hours after Karen's...ok this time thing is getting freaky! | Cardiff |
I moved the guestbook and poll onto the sidebars cuz the page was getting too long. Yeah, that's it so far, sorry about the kind of... lack..of updates until Karen's 5-post streak. Never fear, we're not dead yet! We are working on that cool, spiffy, really exciting, oooh you should see it, neato project for the site (heh heh, who knows how to work a crowd >:). That'll be coming along shortly hopefully, especially since, starting Thursday, all Five Otaku will be together under one roof for a week! Booyah! Kara and Chiqui's house rules! They have a scanner, too, so we'll finally get some pics up in the Fan Art gallery. But now that I've said all this, you just know that we won't even touch the computer ^-^;
Peace out dudes,
Cardiffie-Wiffie (heehee, I'm hyper-wyper)

Hello, everyone. This is, what, my fifth update in a row? Ah, well... this site will (probably) get more attention when I go over to Kara's and Chiquita's house for a week ^_^. Cardiff and I will be working on our little project... TOGETHER!!! (Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaa!) Actually I'm updating so I can say what our project is. The rest of the Otakus will work on it, too, if they want to. We're having a swimming suit contest, and, hopefully, you lovely people out there will decide the winner. We just started the idea today, so, it'll be a while before we actaully do it, but stay tuned! Ja ne!

7-6-01
10:49 PM EST | Karen |
:_: I'm very tired, for some reason, and the text around this update seems bigger... oh well. I'm at the moment finishing up a transfer of our 'Resent Updates' to the 'Old Update' (renamed 'Updates') section to clear out space on the index. ::yaaawwwwn:: Otakus other than Cardiff and myself, when you want to update... 1. Type your update into this section or the index. 2. Copy it and put it in the other section as well. 3. Delete any updates other than your own that are on the index. (Leeann, attempt only when another Otaku can supervise...:P)Peach out.

9:11 PM EST | Karen |
Hello! I worked on Gundam Moon S again, but it's just a tinnie little update~ a small paragraph with the Sailor Scouts. The next update (containing my premonition) will be a little slower going up, because most of it still isn't out of my compisition book. You should read it anyway! I changed the quote of the week, too(that week had been going on for way too long!). Anyone who doens't like it, too bad. >P Otakus, help me, someone else needs to update. I''ll probably update later tonight. Until then, see ya!

6-12-01
9:15 PM EST | Karen |
9:15? No, really? You're kidding me! ::sigh:: Ah, anyway, I just thought I should mention I'm working on Gundam Moon S again. I just wrote about a premonition I have~ it's really cool! Just ask me! I'll tell you. Now don't go rushing into the fan fiction area yet, it ain't posted now, but it (hopefully) will be soon. Later!

6-12-01
3:09 PM EST | Karen |
Hey there, people. Finally someone updates! ::applaud:: Heh heh eh.. not like any of you care. Well, anyhow, I'm still working on my insanity stories! Yes! I am! No, I won't shut up or stop, we might as well ger over that now! I don't feel like making a link, but it is...probably in Fan Fiction... yeah, it is, and I know I can't spell, unlike Cardiff, so I just call them Insane Stories. There are... four of them, I think. I'm working on the last one. Look for more updates to it!Fan Fiction There! Ha ha! A little link for you lazy people!

4-10-01
7:24 PM EST | Cardiff | Gasp! Exactly the same time as my last update! (Twiglight Zone music begins to play) |
Yo, what's up? Chapters 1 - 3 of my fan fic, Sailor Saiyajins and Z-Scouts, have been posted! Go check it out at the Fan Fiction section.

3-30-01
7:24 PM EST | Cardiff | Opening our site to the public |
Hello out there, you lovely viewers you! Today I decided that our website might actually be ready for business. So, I put up a guestbook, counter, changed some more of the main page layout, and sumbmitted our URL to a few search engines. I hope that soon someone will actually be reading this, so I'm not just talking to myself (again). Ciao!

March 27, 2001

Hi, Kara again! I just wanted to rush in here and tell you that we now have a Table of Contents for the fanfics. Yes, I am an organizational (spelling?) freak, if that's what you were wondering. Kara ;P

March 23, 2001

Hey minna! I've updated! Amazing, huh? I added a contacts and submissions page so that you can contribute to our site! Kara ;P

March 16, 2001

Eeeeegads! We've finally got visitors! Whoopie!!! Hope I didn't insult any of you boys with who let the hunks out... ^.~ I'll be back to add some more stuff to here, Later!

March 14, 2001

Good mother of noodles, I wasted our space!! I'm gonna havta do a looot of cleanup to give us some space! I added pics and stuff to hunkys out.

March 9, 2001

Okay, none of the Webmistresses (save me) seem to understand that there's an Updates Page to let our viewers know when we update! Hence, the name. Okay, anyway, I've made a minor revision to all of the Five Otakus' profiles in the About Us section. Also, my previous rant in this little section was because Cardiff added something to the Who Let the Hunks Out? section and didn't come in here and post it. It's so hard to find another sane Webmistress out there! Kara ;P

March 2, 2001

Hidelly ho to all you people out there in Disneyland...or...er, something like that! Kara here and I've actually updated! Scary, ain't it? Anyhoo, check out my newly posted fanfic, Darkness Resurrected. This was my first ever written fanfic and I'm still not done with it! Please be patient with the first few chapters; I promise it'll get better. Okay, that's all I wanted to say. De wa mata! Kara ;P

Date Unknown (as if I'm suppose to remember when Karen wrote this!)

Oh, it has been a looong time! Hey there, Karen here! ::evil grin:: I finally remembered our name and password, so be very afraid of what I'm gonna do! ::yawns widely:: That is, if I can keep my eyes open, it is 11:42! ~Karen

Take me home, now!
