This surely is amazing. An update per month! I don't think I've done that since the very beginning some ten years ago. Well, I've moved a few things around. I figured that I would never get the research done to improve the history section so I got rid of it. You can go to this site

The Personal Ronin Page

Mirror and Image have been around just a bit longer than I have. They have a really good section on the Troopers ansestors and even the possible relations of the Masho! I did keep the part about Shu's possible ancestor (Minamoto Yoshitsune) cause they didn't seem to have him... it's in the culture section now.

In the place of the history section I've put a place to put my translations. I have a new one I'm working on. The OVA box set came with a booklet with interviews, and I'm going to try and translate them. Go on and have a look. I've only got one up for now, but I'll try to update as I get them done, so keep checking back.

Happy New Year! Hard to beleive that it's '07 already. Well, I've got a couple more chapters to my fanfic up, and a new affiliate, Samurai Reflections. I've done some translating for the webmistress so, go over there and check out the Doujinshi. There's a really cute Chibi Touma story there! So, Enjoy!

A few more updates. This is probably a record for me or something. I've added a poem from the box set poems and the picture for it and the masho poem that's already there. I've also linked to a quiz I translated off of a pencil board. I've got an affiliate now, first one ever! Check out the site, it's in the links section and at the top of the main page. Oh, also added some links. Umm.. I think that's it. Oh wait, I did add some banners for this site in the links section as well, so help yourself. Okay, now I think that's it!

Well, it's been another seven months. I just haven't had the time to work on this thing. Well, I guess that's not totally true, I'm just lazy. But I do have a huge huge huge update this time! I am going through and updating all of the pages. Yes, you heard right ALLof the pages. Now not all of them are going to change. I'm making sure all the links work and taking down stuff that's not really neccessary anymore (or I've just plain lost/or too lazy to keep updated). So please make your self at home and browse to see if you see anything interesting.
Oh, and on a side note...seven months ago, I said that I was starting Kendo. It lasted a whole month. Between being sick and going on vacation I just couldn't make it. Plus they wanted me to beat up little kids (and I mean like 1st graders!!), I just couldn't do it :P

Just a small list of the major updates I did.

Added an original story
Added a revised edition of my latest fan-fic
Updated the Kikkotei Theory
Added Pictures to the poem page
Updated Links
+many small things

HAVE FUN!!

Wow, 7 months. That's an all time worse for me. Well, maybe not. Nothing new on the main page, I'm afraid. I've just added quite a few pictures to Ryo's darkroom so go have a peek! Oh, and some good news, I'm going to start Kendo again! YAY!!!

-CT

08/31/05

Yea, yea, I know. I have no excuse. I'm just damn lazy. I have noticed a few things I need to fix on the page. one of them being with my kikkotei theory, but no clue when I'll acutally get to it. I've also thought about writing on my fanfic again, but again I have other things that I want to get done first. So, why am I updating you may ask. I've got some pics up. We had a festival earlier in the month here and I also went to Comic Market too. So I got pics from those up. Just check out Ryo's Darkroom as usuall. I hope I'll have more interesting stuff to update nest time.

-CT

05/19/05

Yea, it's been a long time. And this time I don't have an excuse...well, not a real one anyways. Just being too lazy and working on a story other than my fanfic. Though I have just found something out from one of my students about Nikko that I may add into the story. We'll see. This update, is just to tell you that I've updated my pictures. Changed the layout and added more pics. Took some pictures of the cherry blossems this spring, and just now getting them up. So, go to Ryo's Darkroom to see the changes, and of course let me know what you think!!

-CT

10/07/04

Hey people. I'm back with another update. Unfortunatly it's not really a content update. Actually I can take that back, there was some content updated. I've added more pictures to Ryo's Darkroom. They're pics of my apartment here in Japan. Please go and have a look and sign the guest book and let me know what you think? Is it too small or do you think it's pretty big. This apartment is actually a pretty big one, you should see Tav's apartment up in Sendai, it's tiny, but I guess it's a good size for one person. Oh I guess the main reason I'm updating is cause I've spiffed up the page a bit. I'm sure you've noticed, you had to pass through to get here :) So, what do you think? Please let me know!!

-CT

09/26/04

It's amazing, I've actually updated. Unfortuanly it's not much of an update. Yea, not having a computer sucked. Yea, that's in past tence cause I HAVE A COMPTUER FINALLY!! I've only had a couple of weeks so I haven't had the chance to really get to work on anything. So what did you update you ask? Well I've added a new section, don't get too excited, they're just personal pics. Right now only my trip to Hawaii is up, but eventually I'll have up pictures of Japan and of my apartment and the city I live in. Eventually I may update my fics or other things, but not at the moment, I might be getting photoshop, dreamweaver, and illustrator so I'll probably wait till I get those. So, untill then, enjoy the pictures in Ryo's Darkroom.

03/18/04

Yes, it defently sucks not having a computer. I have decided that I am going to save up for a computer so I can get one ASAP. Of course that's still going to take until september or so. So you won't be seeing much in the update area around here. I did have another chapter I could have put up for my story, but one of the stupid computers are the net cafe currupted my disk. I've basicly lost everything I have done since I've been here. *screams*
Anyways, I do have something I put up. They're poems I got from the YST TV box set. Yea, I bought it. I'm bad, I know. But the art on the box and on these cards are really nice. I cant think of what the artists name is right off hand, but I have seen the pics around online. Anyways, you can acess them from the main page from this link. I'll have the others up soon, maybe, if I remember to grab the notebook they're in that is. Well, that's all for now.
Oh wait. I do have a question. I have had so many people visit my site in the past few months. WHY??? Not that I don't want you here, you are more than welcome! IRASHAIMASEI!!! but I can't figure out what you are looking at. Let me know ne? Onegai!!

How is everyone enjoying winter?! I have to admitt, mountains are very pretty with snow on top of them. Everybody in this city loves to snowboard. I want to try, but i don't think it will be this year. Well, I'm still having to come to the internet cafe to use the computer and with this cold biking isn't as fun so I haven't been in the mood to write once I've gotten here. *sighs* Oh well. Maybe one day I'll save up the money for that computer. I have made a couple of updates. I just now remembered that I hadn't gotten any of my original stories up, so I put up two of the stories. One that had already been up and one that i just now put up. Tanabata Matsuri and The Rabbit in the Moon I have plans to make these stories into one large story so keep a look out for peices of that I may decide to put up. well, thats all for now!

-CT

11/07/03

I'm still alive. I'm really enjoying teaching and i wish I had a computer at home!!! the internet cafe is so far away!! usually by the time i get to a computer I dont feel like writing :( But good news, I do have chapter 11 ready so you can read it here: Chapter 11: Broken Faith. It's in the fanfic section as always. Not that anyone reads it. Ahh.. oh well. I still have fun writing it. Nothing major has happened, other than the ten million little earthquakes, by the time you realize your moving its over. But hey, I did choose to live here so I cant complain right!! well, thats all from me. enjoy!

Greetings From Japan!!
Well, I'm living in Japan!! Work is wonderful, and I'm loving every bit of it. For anyone who may be reading my story I've decided to put up the next chapter. I like to keep at least one chapter ahead. I've just about got chapter 11 done, so I thought I'd put up Chapter 10: Choices. It's in the fanfic section as always. I will eventually have a new section for pictures of Japan. I do need to get a picture of Masamune-san. I'm very close to Sendai and there is a large statue and stained glass window of him in the train station at Sendai. Wheee!!! I love Japan!! Well, that's all this time!! Ja!!

-CT

09/16/03
Well, I only have one day left. I leave for Japan tomorrow!! Being as such, there won't be an update in a while. I have no clue when it could be. As of tomorrow I'll be computerless so I don't even know when I'll have a chance to type up a chaper if I should get it done. But I hope to have access to a computer and net in a few months, oh what will I do until then!? Hopefully I'll be too busy between work and enjoying Japan to miss not having a computer :) Well, I hope anyone who reads this to have a good day, and wish me luck!

Okay, I've got most of the page up on this site. Went back to IU and found my page, they must have had some server problems the one day I couldn't find it. I even looked in the directory and couldn't find it. *sighs* I'm glad I'm done with IU, the only good thinkg about the server were no popup ads and I had to pay for it regardless of whether I used it or not. Well, I do have some updates, other than getting the page up that is, so here I go.
1.Original Fic section still down (I've got to work on that later)
2.New Fiction (old and new)as always can be found on the fanfic page(though you may have to scroll to the bottom to find some of them)

old: Lost Armor MST, RW Toy Story, Voltron Crossover

new: Times Revenge Chapters 7:Strength and Power, 8:Warriors Sacrifice, & 9:Return of the Past.

Well, that's all for now. Look for more in the future!

Yea, it's be awile I know. Working all those overnight shifts just really screwed me up. But I'm now moved out of B-town, and back in my parents house until my time to move to Japan. Oh, I found out my departure date. Sept. 17!! I still don't know where I'll be living yet though. But that's not the point of this post. As you can tell the website is not exactly up. Yes, IU decided to take my page down without warning me. I just now got my computer hooked up to the net so I haven't been able to do much on my dad's computer, and I went to start d/l my page when I found that it no longer exsisted. Don't you just love it when they do that. Well, I think I have most of it still on my comp *crosses fingers* and if not I have five weeks to get it back up again. I promice ot have it up before I head to Japan, cause once I'm there who knows when I'll have acess to do it again! But I guess this is just to let you know that I'm still here, the page is going to be up, just not right now. So, keep checking back and see what I have up, and I may just have more of my story to post as well. Ja ne!

Yes, another update already.Usually I don't update this often, even in the summer. But I had some inspiration last night and got the next two chapters done. I don't think I can beg enough for SOMEONE to tell me what they think of my fanfic!! I haven't had anyone give me their opinion of it ever! I want to know what people think! I'm pretty proud of it myself and I want to know if I'm just imagining things or not.

Well, I can't force you I know *sighs*. Well, I did get to see Message!! Oohhh so much angst!! It was just oh so wonderful. Mind you if you're looking for action you wouldn't like it, but it was very deep. Everything makes soooo much more sense now! Well, except why Shu jumps off that building, I'm still mad at him for doing that, but I know he had his reason... even if I don't agree with him... But anyways, I highly recommend watching Message, especially if you like getting deep into their heads!! Hehe. Of course that got me wanting to write angst, that and this CD I'm listening to. Tav lent it to me, I've had nothing but angsty images in my head for the past couple of days! Well, I think I've babbled on long enough, go check out Chapter 5: Unknown Future and Chapter 6: Between Life and Death.

Is everyone having a good summer?? Oh, so much has happened in the past month that it's mind boggling. First off, I finally graduated from collage, and I officially have a Bachelor Degree in East Asian Studies from Indiana University. The biggest thing, and the one thing that every time I think about I go start bouncing in excitement....

I'M GOING TO JAPAN!!!

I got a job teaching English in Japan!! I'm scheduled to leave sometime in September. I just mailed off my contract and visa application yesterday, I think it should get to them sometime today or tomorrow. *bounces* I am sooooo excited. This summer is not going to go by fast enough!

Well, that's enough with me, I guess you probably want to know if I have anything to up date with don't ya?? Well, I do. Just one chapter of my fan-fic, but it's better than nothing ne? Chapter 4: A Last Resort is up in the fan-fic section, or you can just click on the title to get there. Also, I've noticed that IU has started switching over the URL's for their personal homepages. I thought I'd be safe till I left leaving everything as PHP (I'll be moving the entire site before I head off to Japan, but more on that later). But I've tried to change a lot of the links to the mypage.iu.edu links, but I may miss some. If you come across some (they usually give you the link to the alt URL) please let me know so I can change it. Now just to wait for YST OVA #2: MESSAGE!! One week left!!

04/02/03

What a nice spring day it's turned out to be. The Temputure is in the high 70's, and I have yet to of left my apartment. I decided to take a personal day off. I don't know about you, but I need at least one day a week where I don't have to work or go to class, and since I can't just skip work and I work every weekend, I'll just have to skip class. Anyways, yesterday was the day. Gai Den and Kikkotei Densetsu came out on one DVD. I was so happy!! *dances about* Finally a decent copy of it subbed! Well, I've been busy thinking as you can imagine and I've had to yet again update my Kikkotei Origins page. There was one thing that puzzeled me, why did they change their translation of youja? I'm pretty sure they didn't call them sorcerors in the TV series. Oh well, what matters is that I know what they're talking about right?! :P Oh, I also added a page to the Culture Section, it's the story of Susano-O & Amaterasu which goes along with the updated Kikkotei theory so you may need to read it if you don't know what I'm talking about in my theory. Oh right, one last thing, I got the next chapter revised, Chapter3: Fading Light, Fading Hope It's in the Fanfiction section as always, ENJOY! Oh, and I may just have the fourth chapter done by tonight, you might consider coming back a second time if it's not up yet.

You know, I think there's supposed to be something special about today, though I can't quite put my finger on it. Something to do with roses and chocolate. Well, nothing for me to be concerned with, though I wish I could say. *sighs* You guessed it, I'm one of those that's not too fond of Valentines Day. Why? Probably because I don't have anyone special to share it with. But that's something I'm sure you don't want to hear right? I'm here to update so I might as well get to updateing. I've been busy with classes so I haven't been able to do much, but I can officially say that I've seen all of Yoroiden Samurai Troopers! Now I've just got to wait for the OVA's to come out. Well, since I have seen all of the series I can put up part of my kikkotei theory. It has changed a bit, but what I'm putting up today is just the beginning. This is what I think is how the Kikkotei came into being. Of course it matches up with history and what is said in the series so I hope you like it. It of course can be found in the Theory secion of the site, or you can just click here to get to it. I hope everyone has a good day... unlike me who has to work audit this weekend *grumbles*

It's 2003 can you beleive it!? I sure can't. Well, I know it's been a while and I don't have excuses like school this time, I just have plain lazyness. But I have gotten something done over my three week break. I revised the first two chapters of Time's Revenge! I know I was supposed to be rewriting that chapter that I lost, but I realized that a lot had changed within the story since the beginning and I thought I would be better if I just revised it all so things would make sense. They're in the Fanfic secion like always. They have chapter titles now so you can tell the difference. Please read them and tell me what you think!! PLEASE!!! I also put the revised version of Tanabata Matsuri up as well. I had to do a final revision for my class so this is it. It does clear a few things up that the first virson made confusing so please read it and again, tell me what you think!! Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!

Some more time has passed, classes are still in full swing and we just hit the midterm point. I've had all my midterms did good on one, bad on one, and those were the only two I had. I have a first person story in the Original Stories section you can read. I think it turned out pretty good myself. I've also finally added some theories that I thought up a while ago and I took down my old theories because things have changed as the series has come out and I've been able to see things as they were ment to be seen and heard. So, check them out on the main page. And as always tell me what you think!! I know I'm not the one visiting over 1000 times!!

Yes, I know it's been a while, but classes have started and I'm still in school and I've been working crazy hours!! But I do have a small update. I added a note to the history notes. I really have more to update with. Not my fanfic (stupid comp lost chapter 13. But I have an update to my theories, and I need to update what theroies I do have up. I'm expecting disk 6 any time. It was supposed to have streeted this past week, but I preordered it from Right Stuf and sometimes it's anoying when they don't get it out on the day it's supposed to be released. but oh well. Look forward to other updates to come. But don't expect them too soon, I have too much homework... *mumble grumble*

6-15-02

Well, it's that time again. I'm working overnight at work. I seem to only get stuff done when I work this shift. Then again, there isn't much else to do at 2 in the morning when all the work is done for the night.

But enough complaining. At least about work... No body tells me what they think! I mean No one!! I know you visit!! Please tell me!! Even if you hate the page and never plan to come back, at least tell me so!! *sniff sniff*

Okay, with that out of the way, I guess you might want to know what I've updated. Just my story that no one reads. Just put up the next four chapters. Up to chapter 12, and I'm just getting to the good part! Not that the last 12 chapters aren't good. I personally like them, but I don't know about anyone else!! *weeps*

Okay, I'm better really, I'm just going to go hide in my apartment and angst.

P.S. I just decided to get a new e-mail addy. My old one was getting so much junk mail I had to put the filter on High and I still get over 20 junk mail messages a day!! So, if you want to say something (which I highly encourage) please e-mail me at TenjouNoTora@hotmail.com.

It's not getting too much warmer, but the humidity is crazy!! And my fan just decided to die too! *pouts* Payday can never come soon enough.

Well, it's June now, and I lied. I didn't get my fic updated though I would have liked to. I spent my nights working, reading and doing other things instead. Sorry! Not that anyone reads the fics anyways.

Anyways, I did add something to the page though, so as not to dissapoint the few... very few... that comes by here now and again. I've added two pages to the Culture section. Kendo and Birds Nest.

I hope you like them, and I hope they're informative. Once again, I plead with you, tell me what you think!! PLEASE!!!

Last day of May, and it's just now getting warm out. Half of this month has been filled with cold weather. Not that I'm complaining, I perfer the cold to the heat. But I'm sick of hearing other people complain. I just want it to get warm so it can get cold again!

Anyways, I've updated the surnames, as you can see they have their own page now and I've added Yagyu to the list. Hope you enjoy it. I'll hopefully will be adding to my fanfiction this weekend, I have to work overnight at work again so I'll have plenty of time to work on it!

OH, and I know your visiting, I can see my counter down there just as much as you, so please say something. Do you like my site? Do you hate it? Any questions????????

5-16-02

Well, today's opening day for Star Wars Episode II. But I'm not crazy enough to go. At least that's my excuse. I also have to work all night tonight so I just decided to work on the page till I had to go back to bed.

Well, the page is finally open. I'm excited. It's been awhile since my page has been somthing of this quality. From the start I wanted something someone would visit for other reasons than reading my fics. Well, I just didn't know enough and I had my sights waaaay to high. This time though I think I'll be able to handle it.

So, I hope you enjoy everything, and PLEASE sign my guest book, Ashitaire's getting a bit bored.
