- OMG. It’s 2:30am. XD I couldn’t go to sleep until I finished the layout. OMG. I LOVE ADAM LEVINE. HAHA. I like this layout too. I needed something DARK. AND SEXY. And yes. It’s made for a 1024×768 resolution. I’m NOT changing it. Sorry.

- SEE BELOW FOR FREEBIE INFO.

- New card set: Adam Levine. (No surprise, eh? XD) See below for freebie info.
- New card set: Matt Damon. See below for freebie info.
- New card set: Buffy: Angel/Buffy. See below for freebie info.
- New card set: Super Mario Bros.. See below for freebie info.
- New card set: Super Mario Bros. 2. See below for freebie info.
- New card set: Evangeline Lilly. See below for freebie info.

FREEBIE INFO
- Yes, I’m doing this again, but hey. I like it. Last round I got two rounds of ENTIRE new set circulation out. :D
- Fill out the UPDATED Retirement form. KTHXBI.

- BEGIN RANT/ Evangeline should NOT be with Dominic for ONE reason. She has no fucking style. I’ve seen captures of her recent appearances on TRL, Regis and Kelly, and from past events. She cannot dress herself. It is appalling. Someone who cannot dress herself appropriately should not be with someone Dom who can dress himself very nicely. :D /END RANT

- ADDITION TO RANT / Evangeline is verrryyy pretty. Yes. But she needs style tips. XD AND NO. KATE AND JACK. NO. YES. SAWYER AND KATE. YES. HAHA. Hyper. :P And I just ordered a Drive Shaft shirt. :X HAHA.

- OH! FYI / Retirement does NOT mean that the sets will be deleted or completely gone. They will just be harder to come by. ;D

- SHAMELESS PLUG / I updated my Merriment Trade Post. Once I send out this cycle of cards, I WANT LEVINE. LMAO. I’m also wanting Browning, Deluy, Geoffrey, Insomniac, Monaghan, Deluy, Empire, Arena, Plum, and Extrinsic. PLEASE TRADE. XD

- Just so you know, I’m considering changing the amount of cards you’ve got to have for each level… because, frankly. With so many cards and freebies and what not, it’s EASY to get to the 13th level… quickly. So, I’m deciding on probably Level One being 01-100 cards, Level Two being 101-200, Level Three being 201-300… and so forth. COMMENT with your thoughts and take ONE SPECIAL card of choice. :D

- And I’ve been doing a LOT of form answering and what not, but expect ACTUAL tcg updates this weekend. ;) PLUG. LMAO.

- Quick post before I have to get ready for first day of second semester of college. LMAO.

- CARD SET RETIREMENT survey: Yes, I’m retiring sets. I know, I know. But it’s all going to be based on YOUR ideas. I’m not going to randomly pick out sets, because that would probably get some people dissapointed.

- Hopefully a better update later today… and yes, that includes new card sets… so… I’ll give you some hints. The final main hobbit left in the first Lord of the Rings movie, the character who dies in the fourth Harry Potter book, Neo in the Matrix, A7X, and ten pita bread pieces. And possibly more. ;)
