Name: Kouri Arashi |
Wednesday, September 12 You know, whoever said it'll look better in the morning after a good night's sleep was wrong. However, I'm watching the news and I'm relieved to hear them talking about how the government only wants to target the specific group that did this, not just Arabs or Muslims. Maybe this won't lead to war after all.
It is, however, interesting (being that I'm a psychology student) to watch the progression of human emotion. In my own case anyway. First shock, then horror, then sorrow, then fear, now anger.
I am so pissed off. I never even got to *go* to the WTC, and okay, that seems petty, it *is* petty, but it's just one more thing. And all those people... that, I think, accounts for why I was sick last night.
So fuck you. I'm not a fucking patriot, but I'm still fucking pissed off. And when we find those guys, we're going to wipe their pathetic cowardly little asses off the face of existence, and I won't be a bit sorry. Wednesday, September 12 Hmm.... just started crying for no reason.
I'm gonna go be sick. Wednesday, September 12 Five blocks away?!? You poor thing! ::big huggles for you:: I'm glad to hear that you're okay.
It's amazing how the entire world can change in seconds. And I'm really scared. Not just because I live in America. Just because I'm human. My cousin and his fiancee live in NYC -- she actually works a few blocks away from the WTC. They're both all right, but it's that moment of panic that gets to you...
I just hope people don't start discriminating against Muslims, like you said.
And I really hope it doesn't come to war. I have a friend in the Israeli army. Tuesday, September 11 I wish I didn't live in America. I wish I didn't live in America. I wish I didn't live in America. I wish I didn't live in America. I wish I didn't live in America. I wish I didn't live in America. I wish I didn't live in America.
But in good news, Karasu and I are still alive. We live about two hours northeast of Boston, in the boonies, so I doubt anyone would bomb us here.
But Jesus. I'm terrified. Sunday, September 9 Well, now I've seen YnH do everything.
It's posting backwards. All new posts are going to the back of the forum.
If you can't find part 4 of second chances, it's not my fault. Try page 8 or page 9. ::murders YnH horribly:: Sunday, September 9 Well, I'm home. And I've had a rather odd weekend. Spent most of Saturday in Boston, and got CCS manga 5, 6, and 11. (Odd choices, I know. It's all they had.) I'm pleased with this. Then I cleaned my room, stirring up so much dust that I actually couldn't sleep in it Saturday night because it was giving me asthma trouble. ::sigh::
As promised, I posted part 4 of Second Chances. And because YnH is WEIRD AND STUPID AND ANNOYING it put it on PAGE EIGHT. So if you're looking for it, that's where to find it.
I swear, as soon as I have my own domain, I'm ditching that damned board. Thursday, September 6 And I'm sorry about the strawberries! Sorry! Sorry! Will people stop giggling when they eat them, pleeeeeease? I feel awful. I have forever tainted strawberries. >_<
....
....::giggles underneath breath::
::runs off to go home:: Thursday, September 6 Going home for the weekend ^_^ This means no blogging, no e-mail, no fanfiction. ::sigh:: So there won't be any posts for a few days, but I PROMISE that I'll get part four of Second Chances up when I come back. Wednesday, September 5 Thanks, Leareth, a lot of those will work. Especially desire... after... erm, later events.
And as to where I post, I post on YnH for the feedback, and when things are completed they go up on the X page that Karasu and I run. (Though I suppose Inuhoshi helps. Some. If we beg. ::hides from Karasu's wrath::) The problem is, NBCI has decided to eat my account, and while the page is still there, I can't upload at the moment. Once I've beaten it into shape (and most likely moved the page somewhere else), most of my fics will be going up there. In the meantime, I'm posting them at ffn, though that isn't doing too much better at the moment. Wednesday, September 5 ::has been listening to the Gravi soundtracks nonstop for five days:: Ohayo, minna-san.... (technically, it is morning). Posted part three of Second Chances, for all of you who are interested.
Those of you who like the weird chapter beginnings, I have a challenge for you.
Come up with topics for them. I can only rant on so much stuff before I run out of ideas. And this fic is going to be *long*. So if I want to keep it up, I will need ideas from you people. So far I've done Death (that was the prologue) Time, Love, Hell, Truth, Escapism, and Betrayal. Apathy is the next chapter (Kakyou's) and there'll be at least one on Envy. (Yeah, yeah, I know this makes it obvious that I've written more than I've posted. Live with it -- I need to beta this damn thing.)
Any ideas, minna?
Also, read Leareth's new fic, A Gentlemanly Conversation, and really liked it. ::hugs and a cookie to Leareth:: Just thought I'd share that.
I hear there's a fic challenge on the CFFML to write Seishirou as an uke.... I'm not on it. Anyone care to direct those kind folks to Sacrifice? Though I think you'd have to read Reversal first. Oh well. Do with it what you will.
I should be in bed. Sunday, September 2 This is going to be a long entry. You have all been warned.
Firstly... Leareth, I don't know why I thought it was sad. I just did. Because... I dunno... Veronica will never really understand what happened, and it's definitely sad for Tsuzuki... because Muraki is creepy. o_O;; And I don't know who everyone is, I just recall hearing a lot about it. Sorry. -.-;;
I'm sick of writing these stupid chapter openings to Second Chances, but everyone likes them. ::sigh:: They're *hard*! It's really tough to be philosophical when all you really feel like doing is being cute.
I've now seen up to episode 9 of Gravi... And I love it. Completely. Totally. I thought about making Seishirou in Second Chances a YukiEiriType!Seishirou, like all bitter and never talking to anyone. But then I realized that Subaru would *never* have enough of a backbone or a stubborn streak to pester him until he opened up the way Shuuichi did. Oh well. He's nice, instead, which is very cute.
Now for my rant... nobody mind this. I'm in a bad mood because my grandmother has been diagnosed with a heart problem. Normally this might not make me so pissed -- I mean, she's eighty-two -- but the thing is, if her doctor wasn't an ABSOLUTE MORON they would've noticed this almost a year ago. And now it's inoperable, and they just have to give her medicine and hope for the best. But because she's old and has mild Alzeihmers (sp?), she's really bad about remembering what meds to take and when. But they won't put her in the hospital, because they figure "oh, she's been living at home this long, she must be okay." So she might have a fatal attack any time in the next week and the earliest I can get out there to visit her is Thanksgiving. That's... ::counts:: almost three months from now. ;_;
I hate hate hate hate HATE MediCare.
--end rant--
Anyway I need to go reply to my comments on YnH because some people have said some amusing things. -.- Saturday, September 1 Got another 'fic idea in the middle of the night while in the clutches of insomnia.
I need to kill my brain. Saturday, September 1 Forgot to mention, I've now seen all of Weiss Kreuz, including the OVA.
.....
.......
*Still* don't see any shonen ai. Maybe a few *vague* hints if you're looking *really* hard. ::hides from Mura-chan:: Friday, August 31 Yeah, so rather than working on Blood Bind like we meant to, we wrote our Subaru/Yue fic. And posted it on YnH. Why? Because we're strange. So go read it! And, um, thingy. Friday, August 31 So I got bored and decided to start posting on FFN. ::sighs:: What is wrong with me?
Got more bored, tried to write, failed miserably, and went hunting for fanfics to read. Ended up reading Leareth's Glass Eyes fic, since everyone was talking about it so much.
Wasn't freaked out. ::shrugs:: Sorry? I just thought it was kind of sad.
Then again, I'm in a pretty melancholy mood today, and everything is striking me as "kind of sad." This is probably why it's been pretty hard to write.
Speaking of, Karasu and I are going to try to write tonight, so anyone waiting for part 7 of Blood Bind, it may be up soon. Or it may not. ::shrugs::
Today's Quote// "I am not the Grim Reaper or the Devil. I'm just a murderer." ((Weiss Kreuz)) Thursday, August 30 I'm going to my Select Choir audition now. I'm so nervous!!!!! Thursday, August 30 Yay, people like my new ficcy ^__^
I'm never ever ever going to live down having made Sei-chan an uke that one time, am I? ::huge sweatdrop::
Flamebyrd, feel free to use the scan ^_^ I still don't know which one you mean, heh, but we don't have images that are speciailly marked as "no one can use, ever" so it'll be okay.
Have now seen up to episode nine of Gravi and I LOVE IT!! It's a lot less shallow than I originally thought it was. Not that it's incredibly deep or anything, but Yuki has issues. And dude, that member of ASK who's also Yuki's brother... Taki Aizawa/Tatsuha... he has multiple personality disorder!! I swear!! I also have the OVA OST. ::is very pleased with self::
I am also going to be late to class. Wednesday, August 29 So I went and bought my school books. $225, or somewhere around there. One of the few things I hate about college. And I can already tell that one of my history books is going to go *way* over my head. Small type, page-long paragraphs, big words and lots of references to things I've never heard of. Fortunately, the teacher assigned 5 *other* books. >_< I hate him.
And what the hell is wrong with YnH *now*??? Wednesday, August 29 I tried to go to bed and it didn't work. So I'm blogging. Liz, a few comments on your comments about the fic board... One: The white on black problem didn't even occur to me because that's how *everything* on my computer operates. I find it *way* easier on my eyes. But if I get any other complains I'll change it. Two: What categories do you think could be grouped together? Because I was a little leery about that too. And thirdly: EZBoard is the only place we have to put it. We tried Ikonboard but we couldn't make it work, and with what keeps happening to YnH these days (It's down *again*) I'm not sure I'd like to chance it anyway.
I! Have Gravi! 6-9!!! ::dances:: But I can't watch because I told Karasu and Kimura I'd wait... ::sniffles:: Tuesday, August 28 Tell me, what is the point of a T1 line if the Gravi episodes are going to DL at 1.4 K/sec?
No one is going to our original fic board. I'm deeply wounded. ;_;
So now I've seen up to episode 16 of Weiss. And everyone else left to do homework and errands and I'm exercising iron will to not watch it without them. Tuesday, August 28 Yeah, so when I said I'd update the X page, I lied, because NBCI is a fuck and has eaten my membership. The page is still there, but the FTP won't let me log on, nor will nbci.com. I'm working on this problem as we speak. Tech support at NBCI is actually pretty good, probably because their techies get a lot of practice. Monday, August 27 I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamed that I *was* Ken from Weiss Kreuz. And my brother was Yohji. Which is really funny if you know my brother.
In other news, the ORIGINAL FICTION BOARD is up. I have one thing posted and Karasu and I have a joint thing posted. So go see it and comment and post your own stuff please please please! Sunday, August 26 I'm unpacked now. (I did a large chunk before the last entry.) Two things... Murasaki, I did find your YnM.. I'll email you my shipping address ^_^ ((I still need to sit down and *watch* WK, damn it.
Secondly, now that I'm back at school I'm going to be online about four times more often than I was at home. So for those of you who care, my AIM is sakurazukamori7. (I got that when so many people had my old one that I wanted to murder them horribly.) A lot of the time I'll have an away message up and just leave myself online. Ah, the joys of Ethernet connections. Sunday, August 26 I am back at school! ::looks around old familiar dorm room:: I'm just going to say now that it's good to be back, because a week from now I'll hate it again ^_~
Must go unpack... ^_^ Saturday, August 25 ::giggles::
Don't worry, Mura-chan, when it comes to Weiss I think I know *all* the spoilers. I know who Mamoru Takatori is, and yes, he's cute ^_^ ((Though you still probably shouldn't blab all the spoilers on your blog... just 'cause I know doesn't mean everyone does ^_~)) But the rest of the Takatoris are UUUGGGLLLYYYY!! ::giggles again:: And I *saw* Omi freak out when Ken was getting his ass beat, but I didn't hear what Aya said. Because I was packing... something or other.
Speaking thereof, I should probably get back to it >_< Went clubbing last night, still cannot hear correctly, but I *did* get danced with by a random guy, which I always wanted to happen. And he kissed me on the ear. Which was strange, but hey, who cares.
Lessee... still need to pack blankets, movies (heh... anime collection), my last minute clothes, and... hangars! (I always try to forget hangars. I swear.) Oh, and my posters. (More anime.) Leaving tomorrow, yay!
Today's Quote// "That wasn't dancing. It was foreplay." ((Um... let's just not explain this one.)) Friday, August 24 I!! Found a site! That has! 1-13 of Yami no Matsuei!!
::dances around the room like a lunatic::
Hm... hope I can afford that *and* the CCS manga. Friday, August 24 Now I'm watching Trigun while packing. Making a set for Anki-chan, since she gave me Weiss to boot. I've now seen the last three episodes of Weiss. (::huge sweatdrop::) With the sound off. From across the room. And I missed bits.
So pretty much all I can say is: "Who the hell were those ugly old dudes?"
I'm sure I'll find out when I actually sit down and watch the rest of it. You know, in order. With sound. Trigun is much more fun to watch while packing because I've already seen it at least three or four times, so even if I just plop down for five minutes, I'll know what's going on. I love Vash. Vash is my god. ::hugs Vash::
I'm pleased because I did out my finances for the year and realized I have enough for an end-of-the-summer splurge. Which is always fun. So I'm going clubbing with Karasu and Kimura tonight, and then I'll still have enough left over to get the rest of the CCS manga. ^___^
Ah well. Must go pack now.
Today's Quote// "You should know that during this conversation, I could've groped you at least five times... okay, well, maybe only four." ((Vash, Trigun)) Thursday, August 23 Not much to say really. Won't be blogging or answering emails for a few days most likely, because I'm busy packing for school. I'm absurdly excited about this. (School, not packing.) Maybe because this was the Summer that Blew.
Watching Weiss Kreuz while packing. Damn, Takatori is ugly.
Today's Quote// "Lee, you're a good friend, but you'd sell my body to China for medical experiments if you thought it would help sell a movie." ((America's Sweethearts)) Tuesday, August 21 So, I have borrowed WK from a friend, and before Friday I need to boot it all, which will be interesting because I don't have time to sit down and watch it. So I'm going to have it on in my house, and I won't be able to watch. Blah.
And what the hell is up with YnH? This is no longer funny.
Liz, Meia, you are both very weird. But it was funny! Poor Fuuma.... no pointy things. ::giggles::
Work tonight, but I'm not stressed about it. It's a four and a half hour shift, and the three day vacation has calmed my nerves. So I guess I'll survive ^_^
Today's Quote// "As your bony fingers close around me, long and spindly, death becomes me, Heaven can you see what I see?" ((Depeche Mode, 'Dream On')) Monday, August 20 YnH is broken, Hotmail is being weird, Pitas is going up and down... as Meia would say, who broke the Internet?
Must go get my car inspected. Original board will be up very soon. Promise promise promise. Sunday, August 19, 2001 Pitas ate my entry, so it's going to be a lot shorter than it originally was. Does anyone know what happened to YnH? I went to check my feedback on part ten and it's tweaking on me.
Speaking of, Flamebyrd, the Tree *is* going to be in the Reincarnation fic. It's part of the plot. And I was wondering if you wanted to post 'Til Death on your site, since it's a Yume spin-off. BTW, Mura-chan, I'm going to be putting the entirety of it up (along with Xmas Carol) on the X site I help run. So you can read it there in a few days.
Skipping work again. I didn't even call. And now I'm hiding online so I don't have to talk to them when they call looking for me. I think I've quit. I think I don't care. Karasu and my friend Cat, who also works there, came over last night and we sat around bitching about work for *two and a half hours straight*. That's sad. Anyway, it's a good thing I didn't go yesterday. Karasu said 9 out of 10 customers were horribly bitchy and after an hour they would've been scraping me off the floor with a spatula.
But I'm okay now. Honest. Sorry to everyone I worried. And to everyone I owe email to, which is like eight thousand people.
Today's Quote// "They're so dumb they couldn't find their ass with a map, two hands, and a person to help!" ((Catriona, on Marshalls customers.)) Saturday, August 18 I called in sick to work today, because when I tried to get up and get dressed, I had a full-blown anxiety attack. Hands shaking, crying, nausea, whole bit. (One of my best friends has an anxiety disorder, so I recognized the symptoms.) So I decided that fuck work, I hate it, I only have three days left and I'm only going to my four-hour shift on Tuesday. If they fire me, I'll thank them. I swear. I'd rather be broke than put myself through this hell.
So, gomen to the people I worried... thanks for the hugs ^__^;;
As evidence of my better mood, I posted the last part of 'Til Death. Karasu and I worked a bunch on the original fic board last night, and it should be ready for posting in a couple days.
Today's Quote// "When your boss tells you to do things at work, I bet afterwards he smiles to himself and says 'I can make people do things.'" (('You Are Worthless')) Friday, August 17 Another bad day at work. Spent forty minutes in the bathroom because I couldn't stop crying for more than two minutes at a time. Told everyone that I was sick. Got harrassed by an ex-boyfriend who now thinks he's Rico Suave. Got laughed at by the cute Asian security officer. Resisted the urge to tell said security officer that when my stalker-ex killed me, I hoped my family sued his cute Asian ass off. Got scheduled for a day I can't work, which I'm not *supposed* to have to work, then got told by my manager that I had to come in Or Else. Resisted the urge to quit right then and there. Came home and tried to post part 10 of 'Til Death, but I couldn't because just looking at it makes me want to cry, because I can't believe that I was that light-hearted two weeks ago. Right now my life blows ass and I've suffered three nervous breakdowns in the past two days. I don't even know why. Usually I can see terminal meltdowns coming. Not this one, nope.
And I need to stop whining on my blog. ::makes a mental note:: I apologize for ruining anyone's day. If I did, which I doubt.
::crawls into a corner to hide:: Thursday, August 16 I have a massive headache. And I was going to stop complaining about work, so all I'll say is that after the first two hysterical crying jags in the bathroom, the manager took me off register and moved me to straightening purses. I was grateful to straighten purses.
I have to go back there for 8 hours tomorrow.
I think I would rather die.
On the upside, Karasu and I should have the original fiction board up pretty soon, and I should be able to post the last part of 'Til Death tomorrow or the day after. Wednesday, August 15 Hey, everyone. Me and Karasu were talking about starting up a board for original fiction. You know, a place for constructive criticism, which there isn't much of on YnH ::sweatdrop:: We'd have separate boards for romance, drama, fantasy/sci-fi, et cetera. We'd be willing to run it by ourselves, but only if people show interest. So, if you're interested, let me know. Either e-mail me or just post on your blog. Better to email me, though, 'cause then you'll know I'll see it.
Work blows. My feet kill.
Today's Quote// "My first survival skill is sarcasm. My second skill of survival is my good looks and charm. See? There's that sarcasm." ((Karasu, 'Cold Wired')) Wednesday, August 15, 2001 Late for work again. Reason? Part 6 of Blood Bind and part 9 of 'Til Death are up. ::runs off:: Enjoy! Tuesday, August 14 Birthday depression is over! I watched up to episode 46 of CCS yesterday so I'm in a fairly good mood, even if I do have to leave for work in an hour. I at least have time to check my mail, you guys.
Hey, Flamebyrd, I'd be interested in giving that reincarnation fic a whirl if no one else has spoken for it. I just finished 'Til Death last night (last two parts should be up soon) and I could use something new to work on.
Today's Quote// "If your pet could talk, it would say, 'Please don't hurt me. What are your demands?'" (('You Are Worthless')) Monday, August 13 Part Eight of 'Til Death is up, and the rest is written, so it won't be long now ^_^
Got my friend Kimura hooked on CCS ^_^ Well, maybe not hooked, but she's coming over to watch more today, so life is good. Also, my brother the computer guy is coming over tonight to help me get my own domain.
Murasaki... ::picks raw egg out of hair:: The Costa Ricans are weird ^_~ Yes, I got your email, but I've been busy with birthday stuff so I haven't had a chance to reply. I will tomorrow, I promise ^__^;;
Leareth, you should always write in Bridget Jones style ^_^ It's hilarious. About the CCD... you can accept VHS, right? ((Sorry, Flamebyrd, I forgot to reply to your email too, but I only have it on VHS -.-;;)) Because if you can't, it won't do you much good -.-;; What do I want? Let's see... all I've really been dying for lately has been Yami no Matsuei and Gravi. But if you send me a list, I can peruse ^_^
On a side note, Vash from Trigun is the Coolest Character Ever. ((Wait 'till you get to Wolfwood... he's almost as cool.))
Today's Quote// "Actually I am like a hunter of peace, one who chases the elusive mayfly of love... or, well, something like that." ((Trigun)) Sunday, August 12 So today is my birthday. I'm twenty. Two decades. Sick, isn't it? I have a tendency to get depressed on my birthday. You know, another wasted year and all that. I'm doing my best to avoid it this year.
I went to the beach and had fun. Got... the first three CCS manga, which I really wanted, a *really* cool Trigun poster, which I also wanted, a tree (don't ask, it's like bamboo and needs almost no maintainence, which is the only kind of plant I'd be able to keep alive) and my friend Kimura got me a 60 dollar gift certificate for a salon thing so I can either get my hair or nails done. Or get a massage. Or maybe some combination of both. My sister got me a book called "You Are Worthless" which is the most hilarious self-help book I've ever seen. She and my brother are taking me out to dinner tonight. Life is good.
And I have a Care Bears tank top ^__^;;
::blinks at Meia:: Do I want something? Hmmm.... how about another chapter of X/Twisted? ::grin:: Or maybe you can just tell me how to go about getting my own domain. Since you have one, I figure you'd know ^_~
Today's Quote// "'Tis better to have loved and lost than to have hot needles slowly shoved into your eyeballs." (('You Are Worthless')) Saturday, August 11 ::looks at comments for 'Til Death 7::....
::giggles::
So, for those of you haven't read that, I put to a vote whether the end of the story should have lemon or not. And I got one vote yes, one vote no (that was Karasu, who probably just doesn't want to hear me whine about how I have to write one), and four votes of 'whatever you think works better.'
So my question now is, do people really mean that, or do they just not want to admit that they read yaoi for the lemon? Depends on the person, I suppose. Anyone who hasn't voted yet better get it in soon, because the vote is now tied, and it's left up to me. And I'm horrible at making decisions. So I'll probably let Karasu bully me.
Going to the beach today, WAAAAIII! Tomorrow is my birthday, so a bunch of friends and I are going for my party ^___^ Picnic! Waves! How old am I, you ask? I'll tell you all tomorrow, when I actually am.
And I got strawberry shortcake for my cake. ::winks at everyone who gets the joke::
Today's Quote// "Cannot believe I'm falling apart at the seams, cannot believe you've broken my heart into pieces." ((Duran Duran, 'Come Undone')) Friday, August 10 Part 7 of 'Til Death is on YnH. Also, I am late to work. Yes, the latter is directly caused by the former. So everyone had better like part 7 and leave me feedback, damn it. Thursday, August 9 Anime notes... Mura-chan! Where did you get Gravi tapes?!? I want them! Also... Leareth, Karasu and I have all of CCD, if you want to trade us something for it... e-mail me if you want.
Part nine of 'Til Death is done... I'm posting part seven tomorrow, on the condition that I get at least one more comment on part six ^_~ ((I know, I'm a feedback-whore.))
I can't wait until school starts again, as sick as that is.
Today's Quote// "I'm addicted to stress, it's the way that I get things done; if I'm not under pressure than I sleep too long, and I hang around like a bum and I think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous." ((Joe's Big Ego, 'Stress')) Thursday, August 9 I'm trying to write, but work today was holy hell on flaming wheels, and about all I feel capable of is sitting here, with my applesauce, blogging. All the computer lines went down so the computers were on the fritz. No debit cards were working, only about half the credit cards were and maybe two thirds of the checks, so everything had to be called in manually or paid for in cash. Add this to broken jewelry, bitchy customers, and old high school nemeses, and both Karasu and I were ready to break down into tears. On more than one occasion.
On the upside, I got an ACE card (which is their way of saying 'thank you for not being hysterical all over the customers') and Mr. Blond and Gorgeous was back again. In *my* line this time. Although anyone who shops at Marshalls two days in a row probably isn't my type. He's still hot as hell.
::stares at 'Til Death:: Right. Subaru being cute. Seishirou being depressed. Right. Write.
And I just know my sister will be home any minute, complaining about her day. Maybe I can get her to clean the cat's litter box, since it's *HER* cat, yet the box is in *MY* bathroom, and she hasn't scooped it out for so long that it's congealing.
And I'm whining. -.-;;
Today's Quote// "Immortal fear, that voice so clear; through broken walls, that scream I hear." ((Sisters of Mercy, 'Cry Little Sister')) Wednesday, August 8 Time for my daily 'don't want to go to work' entry. I missed it yesterday because I had to be up too early as it was to fiddle with blogging.
Though there was this SUPER HOT GORGEOUS GUY WEARING AN UNBUTTONED SHIRT in Marshall's yesterday. So whose checkout line does he get into? Karasu's. >_< We kept leaning around him to make gawking faces at each other. He was extremely hot. But there's this bitch at work who keeps complaining about Karasu. To *me*. When *everyone* in the store knows that she and I have been best friends for three years. ::sighs at the stupidity of coworkers::
Anyway, lots of people like 'Til Death, particularly the Wiseass!Tree, so I posted part six. Parts seven and eight are written, though not proofread, and it'll only be about ten parts in the long run. But I'm working eight hours a day for the next three days, then my birthday is this weekend, so I don't know when I'm going to write more.
Pssst, Murasaki, I like your new layout. Nekkid Weiss.... mm. ^_^;
And for your information, *I* think Yuki Eiri is a pedophile ^_^
Today's Quote// "You live in your fear like paradise, you can't afford to ever let me in... just happy to be not satisfied." ((Jimmie's Chicken Shack, 'Bliss')) Monday, August 6 Karasu-chaaaaan.... come home so I can fix your blog ^__^
I've finished part six of 'Til Death and started part seven. I'm on a roll. Six will be posted... when I feel like it, because the lack of feedback is getting a little dishearetening, and adding HTML to something that is three-quarters in italics due to That Damn Tree, which will *not* keep its nose (branches?) out of the story, is also disheartening. Therefore, if I get loads of feedback now that I've whined about it, maybe I'll post tomorrow. Otherwise, you may all have to wait. If anybody cares.
Today's Quote// "I want a girl who uses a machete to cut through red tape." Sunday, August 5, 2001 Neither of them work. Wonderful.
Well, now that I'm in a completely foul mood because I spent two hours working on this damn skin, I give up. If anyone wants to see the damn thing, just email me and I'll send it to you.
Does anyone know how to actually go about getting a domain that lets you hotlink images? Sunday, August 5, 2001 Neither of them work. Wonderful.

Does anyone know how to actually go about getting a domain that lets you hotlink images? Sunday, August 5, 2001 Damn it damn it damn it!! Why won't it offload if I type in the freaking address????? ::pauses to try something::
::comes back:: Okay, xoom isn't working either. ::pauses to try something *else*:: Do I even remember my geocities password?
.....I do. Good. ::uploads:: If neither of these links work, just shoot me.
Sunday, August 5 So rather than writing, which is what I meant to do, I spent a few hours making an Eriol Winamp skin. So here it is. That's just a screencap so you can all see how it came out. If anyone wants it, let me know, and I'll zip it up and post it for people to download.
Off to write. Really.
Today's Quote// "If at first you don't succeed, skydiving may not be for you." Sunday, August 5 I am quite happy today ^__^ I posted 'Til Death part five, because I went on a writing binge last night and wrote eight pages before collapsing into bed. Surprisingly, upon getting up this morning, I found that these eight pages did not suck, which often happens to me. So it's there, and, um, read it.
Otherwise, I am happy because a) I have the day off, b) I found a fanfic I've been trying to find for ages, c) Flamebyrd posted the last part of a Litte Bet, d) Meia has a neat new *Subaru* layout, and e) I got a fanmail for Reversal ^__^
So today is good.
Today's Quote// "If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style." Saturday, August 4 I'm so fried I don't even remember the last thing I put in here. Tomorrow off, yay! My goal is to get the next part of 'Til Death done. I wrote... one scene. It's like a page and a half. And Subaru and Seishirou aren't even in it. ::sigh:: But it's a start!
I have to go to bed soon, because my sister will get home and start complaining about her day, and I'll have to kill her because I had the day from hell, but I simply *cannot* get her to shut up when she does these things. Needs must clean my kitchen.
And thank you thank you thank you thank you. ::hugs::
Today's Quote// "This world cannot bring me down, 'cause I am already here." Friday, August 3 Yay! My layout is back! ::hugs Meia:: I don't suppose I can ask you for a big favor though... because Karasu was hosting her images on *my* Brinkster account and now *they* aren't working either. >_< ::needs to get own domain::
And I survived work. Even if my computer didn't, because there was a huge thunderstorm while I was there. It seems okay. ::pokes nervously at computer:: But I have to be *back* at work in another ::checks clock:: ten and a half hours. ::sigh:: I want *so* badly to work on 'Til Death, and my new story, but I don't have *time*... Sunday and Monday off though. I'll try to get it done then.
Today's Quote// "Oh, this is your grand reopening? I guess that would explain why there's no clearance bins. And all the balloons. And the 'reopening signs' everywhere." (No, this was not actually said to me at work, but it's a pretty good paraphrased version.) Friday, August 3 I spent half an hour last night ranting at my sister about all the dumb customers I'd gotten. I should have been sleeping, but I felt better afterwards, so maybe it was worth it. Work didn't suck as much as it could have, though it definitely sucked. Now I have to go close today, then open tomorrow. I hate that.
And my house is eight thousand degrees again.
And Brinkster needs to die. Except, for all intents and purposes, it may as well be dead already. Thanks for the offer, Meia... how exactly do I go about hosting my images on katana-space?
And Murasaki, that quote is from the Usual Suspects, not Devil's Advocate. The former I have seen eight billion times, the latter never, though I kept meaning to see it.
And I need to stop starting paragraphs with 'and.' ::looks mournfully up at where Eriol-kun used to be::
Today's Quote// "I often try to reassure myself by saying, 'Well, at least it can't get any worse.' But the truth is, it always can. And that's what really terrifies me. Thursday, August 2 Work in less than two hours. Can you tell I dread my job? I'd quit this second if I wasn't abandoning Karasu, and she needs the money way more than me. Must go get ready... must... go...
At least people like my layout ^_^
Grand opening of the store today. If I survive work, I'll probably wish that I hadn't. Fortunately, I have a new story idea that *completely* bit me on the ass yesterday to keep me occupied. (I love that metaphor about plotbunnies and plotkittens.)
Today's Quote// "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." Wednesday, August 1 Off to work again. I hate my life.
Suicide isn't about death. It's about escape from misery. No one actually wants to die. They just want to get away from their lives. I think if I could commit suicide without actually dying, I'd do it.
Meh. I'm in a morbid mood today. ::looks up at Eriol-kun:: ::wanders off to work with a sigh::
Today's Quote// "Class dismissed. I have an enormous headache in my eye." Tuesday, July 31, 2001 Yay! New layout! (I love having these things, and I *hate* trying to put them together. ::sigh:: But I can't stand my page not looking cool.)
Anyway, as is evident, it's Eriol Hiiragizawa and Clow Reed. Because I finally saw all of Card Captor Sakura and I decided that a) I needed a new layout, b) I needed a *CCS* layout, and c) Eriol was the coolest character in the show.
Don't get me wrong, I *adore* Touya and Yuki and Syaoran and, well, just about everyone. But I squealed every time Eriol came on screen. I love him. Tons. So this is version 2.0 (reincarnated) and I was going to put a picture of Fujitaka in but I couldn't find one. And it looks cooler with just Eriol and Clow anyway. ::falls over::
Work in an hour and a half... lunch calls. Tuesday, July 31, 2001 ::crosses fingers:: |
