Just a couple of small updates today. First, I updated my profile for those of you whoare interested...and I also added a new Cowboy Bebop wallpaper. Enjoy!

Yay more updates for you! I worked on them all day, so I hope you enjoy them! First, I added several art trades that needed posting. Second, the third page of OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE is up. Last and most importantly (because it took me all day to do!) I added 30+ fan arts to my art gallery ^__^ Please take a look at them!

Another thing, I've had lots and lots of e-mails requesting chapter 13 of the Chibi Vegeta fic. Well, no worries! You can expect it soon! I don't have an exact date or time frame, but right now I am revamping the fan fiction section so that it will be more organized. When that is done I'll add every new fic and chapter to everything that I have. Keep checking back for it!

Thank god summer break is coming! I definitely plan on spending more time on the things I've been wanting to update around here! I just have one more day of school, plus two days of graduation-type things, then I'm a free woman! w00t!

So far I've updated the Guest Fan Art section. It inculdes a new format, a new Artist, and will be updated several more times with other new artists. Now back to my other updates...

Well, looks like I can finally update! Not only do I have my computer and internet back, but I also have my motivation back!! Yay! What I have for you so far is Page five of the Anime Oasis 03 images. I also added a link to a friend of mine's site which is filled with creamy stick figure goodness inside a hard candy shell of awesomeness!

I'm so retarded, I just wasted my precious sleep-time updating MPoA and now I'll only have 5-6 hours of sleep to run on for aproximately 18 hours tomorrow! Gah...I guess this is why my goal is to become a webdesigner for a career, ne?

Well, anyway, I posted my essay from my Japanese III final. You can read it here: What is Anime?. I also added an older Naruto wallpaper. It didn't put even a little dent in my list of website thing sto do, but at least I got SOMEHING done...

• Finish AO03 Image Galleries
• Put up some fan art
• Work on my currently hibernating fan fictions
• Put up my lastest wallpapers
• Post new art trades and gifts
• Revamp older images and add some new images (including scans and screencaps)
• Post the nest page to OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE
• Add all of my WinAmp skins
• Convert essay into a navigatable information section
• Create a new Chibi expreiment that can be adopted

Man, I have a lot to do...

I've been working on MPoA on and off for the past four or five days, and I have made some progress, but I'm not done, lol. Some of my return guests might notice that the Home page has changed a bit. I removed some broken links, and added a couple new fan list links (for Sanji-sama, hee hee). Also, I've finally been getting up the pictures we took from Anime Oasis 2003 (this convention's website is located at www.animeoasis.org, I will be attending this year again!). I've gotten up to page four in the Multimedia: Images section, and I will be working on the following galleries whenever I get a chance. Here is a list (mostly for my benefit, hah!) of what I plan to update in the future:

• Finish AO03 Image Galleries
• Put up some fan art
• Work on my currently hibernating fan fictions
• Put up my lastest wallpapers
• Post new art trades and gifts
• Revamp older images and add some new images (including scans and screencaps)
• Post the nest page to OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE
• Add all of my WinAmp skins
• Put up my report on anime from my Japanese semester final, and eventually convert into a navigatable information section
• Create a new Chibi expreiment that can be adopted

Man, I have a lot to do...

Actually...I SHOULD be doing lots and lots of homework right now...but I would rather work on my web site ^_^

So far I have for you: New and redefined links, several additions to APM in the Humor section, several different additions in the images part of the Humor section, a new .hack//SIGN wallpaper and a new Rurouni Kenshin wallpaper, I added some Gundam Wing emoticons, and lastly for tonight, I added several new terms to my little Japanese dictionary!

Please enjoy all the updates ^^

A long overdue update to the Gifts part of the fan art section is all I have to offer at this moment ^^

The next update will most likely be another one that should have been done a long while ago. I'm planning on adding all my unreleased art trades (Matt, (I forgot her name =\ ), and yamisakkura). I am also in the middle of a new art trade (Sakura from Naruto [for her] in exchange for Naruto from Naruto [for me]).

Yikes, I'm sorry everyone! I know a told a few people that I would be judging the MPoA site competition on September first, which I did, but I just never had enough time to update the site with the winners and my reviews of their sites. But I have now (I didn't read Gwain the Green Knight for English in order to get it done! ^^;) and you can see the winners in the Awards section!

If anyone reads this, please e-mail me at Mika [@] mikaspileofanime.com and tell me what new content you want to see on MPoA! Since school started I've been overrun with school work (and on top of that I've become more skilled at my profession so I'm being worked more hours at my job) so I don't really have time to sit down and think about what needs to be improved here. SO IT'S UP TO YOU! Send me your ideas please!

That's all for now mateys ^_~

Eek, I haven't updated in quite a while...sorry to be disappointing, but this update is only a small one. Please forgive me! It's just that it's 4am, and this is all I can really do when I'm this tired ^_^;;

"Then why update?"

Well, to be honest, you get weird urges when you're drunk ^^

ANYway, this is what I've got done: I completed my end of a link exchange with a very talented artist and her web site ^_^ I finally started the next MPoA Site Competition. I created a new button and a new banner to link to MPoA with (both based on ONE PIECE =D ). And finally, you may have noticed that there is a link to the web ring page at the bottom of the home page. The web ring page has been up since the new layout came out, but I guess I forgot to link to it ^_^;;

Well, that's all for now. School is coming up soon, and I'll be a senior, so I'll try to update a few more times before all the school work hits me, lol. And keep an eye out for a web site that I'm designing for an EXTREMELY talented cosplay group ^_~ (ha ha, if one of you, and you should know who I'm talking to, reads this, send me an e-mail with the subject of 'Bito Chip' lol)

Yay for updates! The first update I would like to announce to everyone is the addition of a new quiz (not made by me) to the Quizzes section! It's a ONE PIECE quiz that tells you which pirate crew from the manga you would be best suited in ^^ I got Shanks' crew!

Next I added two BRAND NEW polls to the Polls section ^_^ Go vote on em!

I also updated my personal profile with a picture and some info about my new tattoo!

Everyone! Go join the now MPoA message board! You can always find a link to it in the Interactive Section or you can just use the following link!

http://com3.akheva.com/bmpoanokakkoinobbs

That's not the only new thing added to MPoA today though ^_^ I've also added the next chapter to "Chibi-Vegita's First Day in Kindergarten" (read it here), as well as a new short story by Kitty-chan entitled "Having a Cold Isn't Always a Bad Thing". I'll only warn you once that it's YAOI! To those who don't know, yaoi is a japanese term meaning male x male relationships. If you don't like that stuff, don't read it ok? But if you do like it, or don't mind it, you can find the fic here!

Wait wait, there's still more! 3 new wallpapers made by Satoita and myself have been added to the ONE PIECE Wallpaper Gallery! Satoita's features Zoro-san and it comes in two sizes! My frist new one features one of my favorite scenes from the ONE PIECE anime, and the other features Buggy-senchou!

Lastly, I added my newest fan manga "Obsessive Compulsive" to my fan manga gallery ^____^ There are only three pages completed so far, but that's because I'm putting my heart and soul into this manga, and I want to do my best with every aspect of it. So please please take a peek at it!!

Wahhh =( I'm sorry I lied about updating more the other day! But to make up for it, I'm going to try and update as much as possible today ^_^

First, I finished getting up the image galleries. I have more images to post gather up and post, but that's everything in there for now!

Next, I created my very first WinAmp skin, and I made a new section to share it with you all! Visit the new WanAmp Skins section to see the new skin I made ^____^

I'm taking a break for now, but I'll get some more updates finished soon!

| | June 21, 2003 |

*dances* It feels so good to be able to do regular updates again!! And on top of that, today is my day off so you can look forward to many many updates =D

To start, I updated Kitty-chan's fan fiction (Chibi-Vegita's First Day in Kindergarten) with revised chapters 1-8 and BRAND NEW chapters 9-11 ^___^

Next I added two freshly baked Anime Piccie Mayhems to the humor section. We did them using our usual recipie: 4am and no sleep for the previous 20 hours ^^;; Guaranteed to at least make you wonder...about what we were thinking at the time!!

That's all for now, check back in a few hours, I'll have even more stuff up, promise ^_~

| | June 20, 2003 |

Well, we're on a good start here with the new layout ^^ I've been trying to remember all the things I've been waiting to update until now, and I think I'm actually making a slight dent in the amount those things!

First, I updated the wallpapers section. I added 2 new Dragonball by Satoita, one Dynasty Warriors by Satoita, one Inuyasha by Satoita, one ONE PIECE by me, one ONE PIECE by Satoita, and one Rurouni Kenshin by Satoita ^____^

Next, I added a new link in the humor section. It's a very funny site, so when you get bored here, you should go check it out!
