I put a monkey on a pedestal...

Tomorrow, I'm going out with Kat and Rachie for lunch. We're long overdue for one of our three-hour lunch discussions, ladies! It's just hard to find times when all three of us are in town--though I suppose that might change next semester when I'm student teaching and living at home... *looks pointedly at Kat and Rachie* We can hang out more! YAYS!

We're also going to do some major Christmas decorating tomorrow. We're big Christmas people at our house, and our halls get decked, big time. My favorite decoration is this teddy bear we have--when you squeeze her paw, she moves and recites "The Night Before Christmas." I love that thing...but my little cousin was afraid of it that one year ;-;

And then I have to do some Methods homework. We will not talk about that, though, because the whole deal with that might send me into a fit of rage-induced psychosis, culminating in me slamming my forehead repeatedly into the keyboard in an attempt to make myself stop seeing red.

Ahem.

Update on the story swiping thing--a very kind soul alerted me to the fact that the German translations were being posted on AnimeXX (the big German fanfic/fanart site--one of my favorite fanartists posts her stuff on there!) by someone with the penname Chen06. lightbird777's Mulan fics were there too--same translations. Skip back over to ff-dot-net, and we find that my second Kiss was translated and posted on the account of someone with the penname Chen06 (again)...in ITALIAN. WTF? This is getting ridiculous.

Oh, and the mod of a comm called stop_plagiarism emailed me to ask if I'd given Pi Ling permission to translate, which I had not. Looks like they're taking up our torch. This story just keeps getting more and more interesting...I wonder what's going to happen next. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with this at all, but there's this little part of me that's intrigued by the whole proceeding. Guess we'll see what happens, I s'pose ^.~

Yay Christmas decorating! X3 That bear sounds cute. My aunt has one of those singing Christmas trees.

The story swiping is getting all the more twisted and confusing! I wish all the best luck to the Stop Plagiarism mod, and I also, want to know how this proceeds. I want to see these moron(s?) get stopped. X3

Our house is sooooooo pretty! I might take pictures sometime and post them. Because it's pretty. *laugh* Or maybe do a phone post of the bear reciting the poem? =P This year my dad also picked up this little plastic reindeer. You put the jelly beans inside, and then push his back and he poops the jelly beans.

(We're a real class act around here, can't ya tell?)

Gets better--found out after I made this post that they were posted on ANOTHER German fic archive. Fortunately, the wonderful person who told me was also kind enough to drop the admins a line about it, and it looks like the accounts have already been blocked or deleted *thumbs up* Now to see what happens from here!

Yeah, a three hour discussion about Conan while Rachel and I nod! XDD Maybe I can get some Inuyasha or Naruto in there, hm?

Hee hee, I can't wait! ...I'm going to be half awake, but I still can't wait.

You're living at home next semester?! Squee!!! We can hang out a ton! When we're not, you know, busy.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on. Give me a LITTLE credit at least. I only babbled about Conan for ten minutes...and Ouran for another ten ^^;; But you got to do your fangirling over Inuyasha and Naruto!

...the one I feel sorry for is Rachie. She has to listen to BOTH OF US. *pets her*

Yup! I'll be at home while I'm student teaching. I mean, I won't have a ton of free time, but maybe we could hang out on the weekends some? FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!

Are you serious? That's crazy that they still figure to steal them. Do you need me and my 'mobster' friends to go bust some kneecaps?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Yup--and from what I hear, it's not even a real translation. He/she/it ran it through babelfish or something and posted the result. Beautiful, isn't it?

*laugh* If you like, be my guest. But I didn't send you, ya hear? YA CAN'T PIN NOTHIN' ON ME! *is hit with a rock* Ahem...sorry, lost my cool for a minute >.>

*slinks of to the paranoid!corner*

Just wanted to update you. The Stop Plagiarism mods have added Li Ping alias Chen06 to their list of known plagiarists. Several fanfic sites have been alerted and I know you had said that your friend had these taken off of the German fanfic sites. The only people remiss are the FFN administrators - figures. I don't know if they'll even bother doing anything about it. The link to the Stop Plagiarism entry is below if you're interested in checking it out. I'll still be keeping an eye out for new places that this idiot posts her bad translations.

Thank you so much =D Chen06 (from ff.net) actually sent me a PM asking if she could translate them. I haven't replied yet >.> But I will be saying no when I do.
