Sorry for the delay! After finishing my paper yesterday I didn't want to do /anything/. So here we are with your winners for 132~! Thanks to all the icon makers and the voters.

And omg two ties haha I had to break the one for "most simple" because on top of a two-way tie for second, a three-way tie for third, we didn't need a four-way tie for "most simple" haha

( multiple arias are echoing )

Again, congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who participated! Please head on over to custom_banners if you would like a banner, and don't forget to submit to week 133!! Show royalbk some belated birthday love~♥

Hello everyone! I'm about to go run off to see my friend's musical on campus, and I'm pretty tired under the combined power of yesterday and today. So I'll be extending this theme until tomorrow morning, okay?!

royalbk will have your new theme up when she can :D I'll have your voting up tomorrow before running off to work

Hello everyone! This is just a reminder to get your icons in for this week's theme! We have 18 lovely icons, but I know you guys can do better *A* So let's see if we can't get a few more by Friday, December 4th!

I hope everyone in the states had a lovely Thanksgiving~!

I'm a day late. Oops~

Congrats everyone! xDD Head over to custom_banners for a banner!
Let's make another terrific week, shall we?! ^^;

Hello there! Sorry for being late~ I was in Little Tokyo yesterday and then got kidnapped by friends for a few hours and then went straight to bed xDD Here are some songs! In part because this is a bit late, and in part because it's Thanksgiving for those of us in the US this weekend, you'll have plenty of extra time :D

Both are songs composed by Yuki Kaijura~ The first is performed by Kalafina, and the second is by Emily Bindiger! Lyrics were translated and provided by Canta Per Me.net

Due to some idiosyncrasies of mine (and the incredible bad luck that this post has had - don't ask me why because I do not know), I have to repost this.

I'm sorry for all of you who managed to vote until now...sorry Sei as well (there were just too many icons and one of them slipped past my guard)...and I can't even begin to apologize to Tezuka whose inbox will be flooded with comments. Again.

This just isn't my voting post. ;_____;
