I had my doubts whether I should write anything about this because technically it's not a TV-series and I don't do book reviews here (or anywhere, to be honest). Then again, I didn't read The Diary of a Nobody as a book. I listened to the two-part BBC radio adaptation during a three-hour bus trip a week and a half ago. Since it does feature Andrew in some form, I thought: why not? See, this is a fandom journal. I don't make people into fandoms. But fangirling Andrew is such a creative form of masochism that hey, he is his own fandom. So I thought I should say something about his voice role and, what the hell, his voice in general.

Just came back from Bulgaria half a day ago. It was awesome, though some things turned out pretty scary)))
Now, we all know I don't draw, but Yoshikawa Eiji's Taiko made me do it! The pic is edited and coloured by the most awesome artsatalex but you can still see it's mine b/c... I can't draw and it's visible)))
So, Yoshikawa said that Mitsuhide worked as a school teacher for 2 years during his time as a ronin, before he joined Oda. Voila!
P.S. A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for all your well-wishing in the previous post! <333 I hope the past 2 weeks have been good for you as well.

Rating: PG
Summary: 10 mini-drabbles starring various fanfic and original characters. Meme snagged from the flist.

1. Create two lists: one of original characters, one of canon characters.
2. Write a drabble for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers (first number from the first list, second number from the second list). Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

1. Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto)- Tallulah Morgan (Wild Zombies)
2. Castiel (SPN) - Albert (Jim Steele*)
3. The Master (Doctor Who)- Gorgonos (Soul Rescuer)
4. Uchiha Sasuke (Naruto)- Michael (A Boy and His Horse*)
5. Elizabeth Swann (POTC)- Audrey (June Bugs)
6. The Doctor (Doctor Who)- Stevie (A Boy and His Horse*)
7. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars) - Fire (Avant / En Garde)
8. Haruno Sakura (Naruto) - Connor (Wild Zombies)
