ALLOW ME TO BE RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED!
WAOHOFHWOJF:LSKDJFpoiuweqrlkdjf; <-- This is me because it's almost winter break over here! I'm so excited. School has been tough lately, but mostly because I've become lazy. I promise I'll be better next year, 2012!
Anyway, I've recently realized that it's almost the holidays, and next month will be my birthday! Even though winter can be really bitter cold, all these things make it bearable. I feel like this holiday is going to be rather peaceful, less all the work I have to do.
SPEAKING OF WORK, I finished a bunch of IB work, so I feel a little more on track, though my grades are somewhat slipping >____> But mostly in stupid classes, so it's okay haha.
Anyway, I'm also in a good mood because two of my really good friends got accepted into their early action schools! One got into Stanford, and the other one into Princeton :) I'm so proud of them both!
But I guess everyone talking about colleges has gotten me thinking about them too (I'm only a junior, so I apply next year). I haven't really figured anything out, but after doing a bit of research, I've come to think that King's College, Cambridge would be the perfect school for me, if I can get in... >___> We'll see how I do on my IB tests this year. But I'm a little bit worried because it IS an international school, which certainly complicates things for me. If anyone in the UK has any advice for applications to UK schools, that would be fantastic and much appreciated :)
Anyway, are any of you at the college-able age? How are your apps going, and have you gotten into any of the schools you want to go to?
And how are your holidays going? I hope they're going well! I do promise to respond to comments in this post, so post away!

What is going on with VB Rose?
Many people have been asking me questions about VB Rose recently, even though I put up an explanation in the last chapter I released. I actually do write about important things there...
Tokyopop has been closed down, which means that VB Rose has been dropped as a license in the US. Thus, volumes 13 and 14 remain unpublished in the US. I cannot get access to them ever. They will need to be translated from their original language (Japanese). There are also Chinese scans available that I could translate, but at the moment I'm much too busy to attempt that. I believe that there is a group willing to eventually translate VB Rose. It will eventually be translated, but do not expect the same rapid releases that have been happening.
Vol. 12 is still to be scanned. I will get it as soon as I can, and scan it, but sitting down and scanning 200 pages is not an easy task, so also do not anticipate this to happen very quickly.
In short, please be patient (and I would appreciate it if you did stop sending me emails as well).

The One Chp 84
So you'll have to forgive the extraordinarily low quality of this chapter. I decided that I would save the time it would take to futile clean the pages to put out a release faster. You can still read all the words and see the pictures, which is the most important part! Happy reading! (I still can't believe the scanner botched such a great chp!)

Books
I've always been an avid reader, ever since I was a kid, and I think it's truly amazing when you stumble upon a book that just wrenches your heart right out of your chest cavity. It's a feeling that's hard to put into words, but if you've ever felt it, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
Of course, I'm probably still looking for THE BOOK of my lifetime, but I've certainly come across many that I've felt a real emotional connection with. A little bit ago, I just finished reading John Green's Looking for Alaska. I know I'm pretty late on reading this book, because I always assumed it was another stupid trendy book, but I recently (within the last few months), started watching vlogbrothers, which is a channel made by John Green and his brother Hank Green. I heard him narrate the chapter of his newest books (which incidentally will be released on my birthday!), and so I decided to check out some of his books because I was so impressed by his writing.
I know this isn't manga or anything, but Looking for Alaska is so raw and real, partly because it comes from Green's own experiences, I think, but it really is an extraordinary book, and I think the fact that my birthday is a significant date in this book (funny coincidence, huh?), I'm even more drawn to it.
So, my question to all of you is, if you read, have you found THE BOOK? Green describes it in his new book, but I'm going to share a description by Lemony Snicket:
"Think of that secret favorite book of yours - not the one you tell people you like best, but that book so good that you refuse to share it with people because they'd never understand it. Perhaps it's not even a whole book, just a tiny portion that you'll never forget as long as you live. Nobody knows you feel this way about that tiny portion of literature."
Certainly this kind of book makes me want to crawl into the author's skin and absorb every single facet of his thoughts and process.
If you care to share, please share it. If you either do not want to share, or have not yet found it, which books have really impacted you in some way, whether emotionally, intellectually, or philosophically?
I know that I'm still looking for my "THE BOOK."

Uhm hello, everyone.
Uhm, hi guys :D HELLO, I just got back from a really fun local write-in! I had a ton of fun this month, and I definitely look forward to... revising (ugh). To everyone else working on NaNoWriMo, I wish you the best of luck!
So what does this mean for KatScans? Definitely more chapters, and faster! So thank you so much for everyone who's been patietn with the recent chapter slowdown. I'm feeling really good today right now after finishing a chapter of The One, and finishing my 50k for 2011 NaNoWriMo. Whoooooooooooo! I had way too much coffee today :D aldksjf;laskdjf;laskjf;lkjqpeoijfa;lsdkfj;aldkjf;laskjdf;ad Excuse me while I spaz some more.
Accomplishments today:
1. Spending too much money on online shopping (which I now feel is justified considering my other accomplishments!)
2. Finishing NaNoWriMo
3. Finishing The One
I hope everyone else's Thanksgiving weekend is going equally, or more well! Please let me know how your weekend is going, even if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving :)
The One Chp 83
Hey everyone! Here is chapter 83 finally. I hope all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving enjoyed it. Due to early uploads in recent months, I'm going to refrain from putting up the dl link just now, so check back in a few days. Please always respect the public release dates on my chapters--I post chapters on my blog for the benefit of my blog readers, which is why I give them an early preview. Thanks!
