Me: YOU LURVE~
Adrift: Hahaha. Don’t be like the Girl Who Cried Wolf, Laca! One day you’ll call my name and I won’t come running anymore…

She reluctantly accepts my hugs… but… but… It’s not enough! Is it any wonder that I ran crying to the arms of 7:14?! He at least accepts my blatant expressions of love! Yes, I do admit that before that, I had some serious dysfunctional relationships that prevented me from spending time with you all and posting updates… If it’s any consolation, the names of my bad boy distractions are: Damon, Bones, Eric, Barrons, Curran and Travis. I’m sure many of you can sympathize with my dilemma…

We’re also recruiting for editors, preppers and chinese translators! Please see this page so you can get an idea on what each job entails~

And to start our December month right, our week of releases starts again today~

• Mishounen Produce chapter 13 – What?! A confession?!

<jojo_da_crow> WOAH someone is up early

jojo and Laca then proceeded to have their semi-daily discussion on farmville. Typically at this point I just nod and pretend to know what they’re talking about.

<Lacaille> to no one in particular: yes, this is the kind of uber important things that we talk about here in AE staff room… that is how we roll! -nod nod- (The no one in particular shall be you people now that I’ve decided to create an update post about this! TAKE THAT LACAILLE. YOUR WORDS AREN’T SAFE. WE’RE LISTENING.)

I then call Laca an imposter for being on so early. I mean… 7:14 AM?! I don’t expect you till 12! Jojo and I then browbeat her back to bed.

<jojo_da_crow> niiight
<Adrift> Say goodbye to Lacaille, 7:14 pm
<jojo_da_crow> hehe
<Lacaille> I’LL BE BACK!
<Adrift > But 7:14 PM WILL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN
<Adrift > Or at least… shouldn’t XD
<jojo_da_crow> haha
<jojo_da_crow> it will see her in her time zone
<jojo_da_crow> 7:14pm will travel the distance to find his love Lacaille
* jojo_da_crow wants to be a flower girl
* jojo_da_crow has no idea what she is talking about
* jojo_da_crow goes back to fanfiction
<Adrift > But you see EST 7:14 PM went so long without seeing Lacaille, now it has to treasure this one memory of her
<Adrift > I don’t know what I’m talking about either
<jojo_da_crow> lol
<jojo_da_crow> maybe we need sleep
<jojo_da_crow> XD
<Adrift > I should stop before an imaginary image of 7:14 PM pops into my head
<Adrift > which will then be the next topic of some random update post
* jojo_da_crow imagines him with a zorro hat and mask

-The next day… Laca comes in EARLY AGAIN!-

<Lacaille> ha! take that, 7:14am!
<Adrift> See 7:14? LACA CARES
<jojo_da_crow> ahaha
<jojo_da_crow> It is the zorro mask that turned her on
* jojo_da_crow runs
<Adrift> I’m now imagining a Tuxedo Mask-esque scene
<Adrift> where 7:14 has a zorro mask + a rose
<Adrift> and a snazzy cape

-Third day… Laca comes in early…-

<Adrift > ….
<Lacaille> i saw 6:59am!
<Adrift > XD
<Adrift > You’re doing this on purpose now!
<Lacaille> what? me? XD
<Adrift > 7:14 had finally learned how to live without you and now it’s going to have to build back up its walls when you leave again
<Adrift > 7:14 will be devastated and jojo and I will be the one’s who’ll have to pick up the pieces!
<Adrift > XD
* Lacaille waves a dismissive hand
<Lacaille> 7:14 wasn’t as dysfunctional as i wanted!

So what have we learned in this brief glimpse into the staff irc channel? AE is strange. Or at least jojo and I are for anthropomorphizing a point in time… Laca and jojo talk about farmville, a lot. And Laca apparently has a thing for dysfunction in her significant other. You’re welcome.

This week of releases is dedicated to 7:14. May these chapters keep you warm during your cold and lonely nights/mornings.

Staffer: Hey Laca, how did you learn all your css/wordpress/web designing magic?

Me: By… being a control freak? XD

Well, before… a long, long time ago… there was a little girl…

[story time starts and the staff start munching on popcorn]

She wanted to make a webpage but didn’t know how… And with the internet in the early stages and limited design tools at the time… she found Frontpage, an ms office tool… It was like what Dreamweaver is now.

So the clueless girl did the WYSIWYG way of things. And because she is a control freak, when a design ‘just doesn’t look right’ to her, she went to the backdoor of the web design code and stared it down with menace. Until the web codes finally decided that resistance was futile…

After making several webpages, the girl realized that there were a lot of redundant things in her web code… and also that if she wanted to edit the design, she had to edit *every single and stubborn page* Thus, she learned to separate the design from the web structure… and the little girl learned how to use CSS. Alas, the CSS became the next victim of the menacing stare and promptly waved the “surrender flag” to the now evil chibi woman.

Unfortunately for the internet world, the little girl wasn’t through with her conquering ways…

She then set her sights on dynamic web pages, thus introducing her to two pals, PHP and MySQL. The two pals put up much resistance… They used a very good defense… which is that they can’t be used unless one is online…and for the dirt poor chibi woman who only had prepaid dial-up internet at the time, it seemed that the battle was lost for her…

The chibi woman sat back and reassessed the situation… thinking of a possible strategy to overcome the enemy’s cunning line of defense…

As a solution, the evil chibi woman set up a local web server on her home PC… which meant she could make, troubleshoot, and edit any and all PHP and MySQL codes without having to go on the internet. The pals PHP and MySQL didn’t stand a chance and admitted their humiliating defeat! The superior cunning of the evil chibi woman was too much for them!

Her magical whip will not be denied!!!

She then proceeded to blaze a trail of terror and shameful defeat to all those who opposed her unique brand of tyranny. Among her victims included WordPress, phpBB, SMF, and many others. And thus, the evil chibi woman’s bloodlust has been sated…

At least for now…

[ominous silence]

The End. -bow-
