Thursday, October 25 Just a quick entry before bed time...
I've decided I hate CLAMP. ::hugs Subaru:: But I can't hate CLAMP, because it's so.... I don't know. How can they do something that's so cool that I hate so much?
...Let me just clear the record here.
X was the first CLAMP thing I ever read. TB had been summed up for me, and I certainly read it later, but that was it. I didn't expect X to be tragic and depressing. Angsty, yes, violent, yes, even gruesome, yes. But this tragic, no.
And anyone who's read my fics knows that I hate sad endings.
...I just hope they fix it. Though I really don't see any way that they can.
And bizarrely enough, you know who I feel worst for? ::hides from Murasaki::
Kamui. I mean, come on. He's been having hell on earth from the very beginning of the manga. And now he's losing the only person he still cares about. (I'm guessing here that Subaru's going to drink the eyeball. Or whatever.) Subaru, yes, I feel terrible for Subaru, but give me a break -- he *enjoys* being miserable, or he would've tried to fix up his life by now. And Seishirou? In a really twisted way, this is what *he* wanted. So it's Kamui that I feel bad for now.
...I think I am one of the few Kamui fans left on earth.
Christ. I have *class* tomorrow. ::Crawls off to bed::
Wednesday, October 24 Well...this is certainly interesting. ::hugs Subaru and Seishirou::
I'm not sure whether or not I like that development or not. ::thinks:: Get back to me on that. It's very sweet on Seishirou's part in a really odd way. But.... poor Subaru. AAAHHH! WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!
So, for those of you who care... ((I can think of at least two people)) Karasu and I just finished And I Will Touch the Sky. It's not posted yet by any means, but it is done. And, um, yay.
Wednesday, October 24 Well, my Shakespeare essay is done.
::looks at it::
Oh, man, I don't even want to *think* what I'm going to get for a grade on this piece of crap. Wednesday, October 24 People keep getting to my blog by looking for me, which frightens me terribly somehow. Also someone got here looking for "kouriarashi second chances" which is pretty flattering.
...but I want to know who got here looking for "lucky fuck" and how they ended up with *my* blog...
::hugs:: I'm not exactly the only person who replied... Mura-chan said she liked it on her blog...
Just got back from Halloween shopping. I went to 8 stores and couldn't find fairy wings for my costume, which means my costume is going to look dumb. I now have half an hour to do my history homework. Understandably, I'm in a bad mood.
Tuesday, October 23 I'm in a contemplative mood, which is a synonym for "melancholy" for me. Not really depressed, just sort of vaguely restless and distracted.
I should not be writing in this state. Being melancholy makes me do mean things to characters generally.
Poor Subaru.... Tuesday, October 23 So. I should be in bed. Or doing homework. But I'm doing neither.
I posted part one of my Yami fic at YnH. Not at CLAMPesque, because nobody there seemed to care. Eheh. So you all have to brave YnH if you want to read it.
I have two pages of my paper. ::Waves arms feebly:: I'm not dead yet.... Monday, October 22 You know, one might not be a Kamui/Subaru fan, but you all have to admit that this is great. Karasu-chan, you're a goddess. Everyone tell Karasu that she's a goddess. Right now.
Monday, October 22 Leareth! I'm late to lunch because of you!!
::giggles:: But I really like Roleplaying... poor Tatsumi... and poor Tsuzuki, so confused.. ::hugs the puppy Tsuzuki:: And poor Hisoka, just 'cause I like him ^_~
Ack, so late! ::runs:: Monday, October 22 I'm going to bed. I think this is the earliest all year.
And I bet you all needed to know that. Sunday, October 21 I really should be working on my Shakespeare essay. I know. ::sigh::
And again, hardly any replies to part 12. But that's okay, because I like part 12 anyway. Because it's cute.
Referrer checking!
tsuzukixhisoka... ::grins:: Yup! Ahem. I'm going to go work. No, really. Saturday, October 20 So, despite what I said this afternoon, part 12 of Second Chances is up.
Why, you ask?
Because after dying a horrible screaming death and realizing that I'm going to fail this stupid paper no matter what I do, I decided I had nothing better to do.
Saturday, October 20 So I have to write a 6-8 page paper on the Unification Church Cult, led by Reverend Sun Myung Moon.
In other words, don't expect more of Second Chances this weekend. Friday, October 19 Soooo.... all those of you who were waiting for me to finish that set of Yami no Matsuei skins, here they are. For your viewing and listening pleasure, I present Hisoka, Tatsumi, Tsuzuki, Muraki, and Watari.
And they *all match*. ::is very proud of self::
Ahem. ::wanders off to write research papers:: Friday, October 19 If I were you, I might try deleting AIM and downloading it again. Sometimes that helps. And I'm glad you like my new layout ^_^
You cried? ::sweatdrop:: Um, sorry... but I'm glad you liked the bit with Andy in the outfit... it does come back later. XD And as for why Ryan and Andy couldn't kiss... because Andy is a HUGE STUPID COWARD.
...and he's my character so I'm allowed to say that.
By the way, is anyone *else* reading And I Will Touch the Sky? Because I'd love some feedback on it and there's 21 chapters posted already....
Today is work day. Laundry and homework and cleaning. ::sigh:: Friday, October 19 Whee, new layout time! ((I got it to work -- thanks, Meia.))
My favs from X. ::big grin:: And ok, the texty thing is my own little added in thing. Had to comb through manga translations for good lines.
Thursday, October 18 Yay! I have feedback!!
::dances:: Just goes to show, people -- whine and bitch enough and you can get what you want.
Just kidding. Seriously, thanks to everyone who cheered me up. I will now go work on part 13. Because part 12 is done. But you can't have it yet. =P Because I haven't edited it.
I will also go put HTML to the story that has a title that's too long. Hopefully I'll get up to Christmas, 'cause that's my favorite part in the story. ^___^ Thursday, October 18 Hai, hai, there will be more of And I Will Touch the Sky shortly... After 10 hours of classes today, I bet HTML will be the only thing I'm up to anyway. I meant to work on it last night but I was writing Second Chances, so don't complain ^_^
By the way, it's a working title, so if either of you (or anyone else reading it) come up with a better one, let me know.
....and it's nice to know that everyone hates the country I live in. Thursday, October 18 Hardly anyone replied to part 11...
Blah. Now I need to work up the motivation to work on part 12 all by myself, and I'm notoriously bad at motivating myself.
...Motivate me, people. Wednesday, October 17 Kimura-chan has a blog!! Yay!!
((For those of you who don't know, which is probably about 95% of you, Kimura-chan and I have been friends since fifth grade, heh.)) And she has a pretty Trigun layout. ^___^
I'm procrastinating. Don't wanna do homework.
Wednesday, October 17 The network has crashed five times tonight. Stupid network.
Thanks for all the advice, minna. ((Ok, I didn't fit everyone's address in there, I'm sure there are people who forgot and I know there are lots of people who don't have blogs. Or at least I don't know where their blogs are.))
So, part 11 of Second Chances is up. Because I was sick of beating myself over it. And you know what? It's a fanfic. If one part isn't quite up to par with the rest, it's not the end of the world. I'll just have to make sure the rest of the fic is good. ::nods::
Classes for next semester: (in case anyone cares) Clinical psychology, Alcohol: Models of Chemical Dependency, Perspectives of Earth (needed a physical science), Psych Research Methods, Band, Choir, and Student Instructor for Psychological Statistics.
I think I might die. Oh well, I asked for it. Tuesday, October 16 I hate mornings.
I hate myself for staying up late.
I also hate Ochiba.
But hey, at least one person cares about Second Chances... And I love Catty!Kamui!! ::giggles:: Of course, I think that was supposed to be serious, but... I'm just not awake. Eheh.
And the thing about Nicky/Johnny that you noticed is there on purpose... the phrase "All work and no play make Johnny a dull boy" is pretty common, and it amused us terribly to put it in.
Daaaammmmnnnn it forgot to take my allergy meds last night... ::wheezes::
You have too much free time. Monday, October 15 So. Three more chapters of And I Will Touch the Sky. If anyone cares.
Out of curiosity, who would kill me if I never finished Second Chances? Monday, October 15 Um, does anyone know what happened to the episodes of Gravi on Ochiba? Because they were there, and making a big deal out of it, and now they're not there anymore, and my fourth DL cut out so I'm missing the last episode.
Help, anyone? Monday, October 15 I'm having this issue... 'cause I really want to get back to Second Chances... but I really don't want to edit part 10 and spiffy it up... because I still don't know exactly what's wrong with it. I've already fixed up some of the stuff that's bothering me, but...
So I'm taking a survey: Who wants me to finish editing part 10, and who wants me to just post the revised version as is and move on to part 11?
Pleeeeeease answer.... Monday, October 15 Thank God, pitas is working again. Stupid pitas. ::grumblegrumble::
Um, yeah. As promised, parts 9-12 of And I Will Touch the Sky are up. And they were up last night too, but I couldn't post and say that then. And everyone loves Ryan! XD Ryan is the perfect man. If he weren't gay (and, well, words on a computer screen), I'd date him in a second.
And if you feel like murdering Seth now, just wait... Sunday, October 14 So, erm... the sequel to The Morning After is up at YnH and Clampesque. You know. The Yue/Subaru fic.
....XD
In other news, Karasu and I have more of And I Will Touch the Sky done... I will probably be posting that sometime tonight. When I finish avoiding my history homework. Friday, October 12 I totally agree with you about the whole sex thing. Especially with Tsuzuki and Hisoka, maybe since they're one of my favorite couples. It pisses me off.
So I'll just announce for the record that my Yami fic, Live Through, is going to be totally sex free. (Which I had already planned on before I read the rant, but hey, I thought I'd announce it anyway.) And anyone who doesn't like it **coughcoughYNHcough** can bite me.
I'm home again. No caffeine here. This is resulting in me having a splitting headache. -.-
Thursday, October 11 Figures that just as you get your cable modem, I leave for three days. -.- Glad you liked the X OVA though... I can't wait for the series ^_^_^_^_^_^_^ (<-- mutated smiley!)
Yuppers, going home for the weekend... again... get to go to the Renfaire, though!! ::bouncebounce::
Erk. Gonna be late for band. Thursday, October 11 Erm... I came here meaning to post something... what was it.... oh yeah! Liz, I'd try to teach you C, but I think I only passed that class because the teacher was too stupid to realize that I had no idea what I was going. -.-
Actually, I pass a lot of classes that way.
...I'm going to go hand in my pitiful Shakespeare essay. Wednesday, October 10 PS: Meia, the only X OAV music I have is the closing theme, Strength, but if you want I can upload it onto katana-space.net. Wednesday, October 10 Leareth, you're strange. But I like the beginning of the fic anyway ^_^
::murders Shakespeare essay:: I just keep thinking if I talk in circles long enough, a) my essay will be the 4-5 pages it's supposed to be, and b) my teacher will get so confused by my contradictory babble that she'll give up on having to read it and just give me an A.
....or not. ::procrastinates::
Part One of the Yami ficcy is done... site is coming along nicely... think I might be able to go back to Second Chances at the beginning of next week... (I would sooner, but I have this dumb essay, and all other free time is being devoted to the site, and I have 10 hours of class tomorrow and then I'm going home for the weekend -- no computer.)... I should be happy. Plus class scheduling starts next week so I need to start thinking about what I want to take next semester. ::scans for interesting classes:: Hmm.... Tuesday, October 9 My muses are beating me about the head.
Seishirou: What do you mean, our gallery only has four pictures in it? Hm. Methinks it might be time I went back to Second Chances. Before my muses kill me. Tuesday, October 9, 2001 Yay! Karasu-chan is alive again!
And by the looks of my English paper, I'm dead.
I don't want to make the Kusanagi image gallery. No one likes him anyway. We don't need to put pictures of him on our page. He's annoying.
....Eheh. Tuesday, October 9 My shoes are missing. And if they don't turn up soon, I'm going to be late for class.
....I'm just not a morning person. Tuesday, October 9, 2001 Worked a whole bunch on image galleries to get the X site that NBCi ate back up on another server. My back hurts now.
Beeeep! This program will now be interrupted for a rant. Please feel free to change channels.
How?! The hell?!? Am I supposed to write FOUR PAGES?!? On a play!! That we haven't even discussed in class yet? And compare it to a Machiavellian essay? That the teacher only gave us ONE PAGE OF?? And WHY? Does it count for ONE THIRD!! Of our final grade?!?!
AND HOW?! Am I supposed to clean my entire room?? With two days notice?!? And my bathroom! At home! Which is an hour and a half away?!?!?!?
::ahem:: Thanks. I needed to get all *that* out of my system.
::goes back to working on essay:: Stupid Shakespeare. Monday, October 8, 2001 *My* Winamp is scariest. It matches to what I'm *writing*. I'm serious. I have a 221 song playlist, and if I put it on shuffle... if I'm writing a 'fic, it'll search out the anime music. Certain characters will inspire certain songs. Certain series *will* get their own music if I'm writing them. (Yami & X in particular.) One of my poor abused characters (Andy from "And I Will Touch the Sky", which I think a couple of you have read) always gets "Sunny Came Home" or Ani Difranco or "Football Tonight" or any other number of appropriate songs.
....My computer scares me.
Also, the idea of Seishirou and Muraki playing rock-paper-scissors to see who gets the Tree is hilarious.
And my heat just came on. Yay! Sunday, October 7, 2001 What's with the weird weather? It rained on half of campus. It was 70 degrees two days ago. And now it's hailing. Oh, wait, now it's stopping. I'm confused. And half the sky is sunny.
I'm baffled.
And I don't think anyone read my Yami fic. Then again I forgot to announce I posted it. So I did. Go read it. Saturday, October 6 So.... just got home from watching the X OVA. ((And having a half hour long hysterical giggling fest involving phallic symbols and the use thereof.)) And this is my opinion...
Absolutely gorgeous, incredibly cool, and *totally* pointless. >:) I can't *wait* to get my hands on the series. And the tape I got came with some extras -- interview with the director, Kamui and Fuuma's voice actors, some commercials and stuff. Very cool.
It also came with the Saiyuki OVA. Having never heard much about/read/seen Saiyuki, we sat down and watched it. It's *weird*. I had no idea what was going on. But that's okay! Because I really liked Sanzo and Hakkai. That is now on my list of things I need to get. ^_^
....I'm addicted to Harry Potter. That's sick. Saturday, October 6, 2001 ::laughs:: Mai, I *know* that's a wicked place to leave off in I Will Touch the Sky. But my copy corrupted after that and I have bits and pieces missing all over the place. I have to get the gaps off of Karasu's laptop before I can post anymore, heh. And fix little quirks like when Nicky says that Andy is in "Insert Hospital Name Here" because Karasu and I were too lazy to find a Boston hospital and then forgot about it afterwards. I will, I will, I will try to get more up soon. How about some constructive feedback? ^_~ Friday, October 5, 2001 MY FANFIC PAGE IS DONE!!!!
Ok. So I didn't put everything on the original page that could have gone up, but if I'd written any more HTML, my brain would've broken. So everyone go see my page and read my stuff and send me stuff about it!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO READ MY STUFF!!
Eheh. I just hate to think that all this work would be in vain.
PS -- I loved Closed Doors, Leareth. But I wanted them to get a kissy scene... a real one. ::giggles:: But I loved it anyway!! ::huggles Tatsumi, Tsuzuki, and you:: Friday, October 5 WAH! Karasu's semi-ex-boyfriend has a blog!!! ::resists urge to give everyone the address so they can spam him:: Friday, October 5 I can't believe it took me so long to get out of bed. >_< Um... I had something useful to post. I know I did. ::thinks really hard:: I watched the opening credits for the X series. They're cool, but not spectacular. Blah.
Pss, Meia, Karasu has met Neil Gaiman. And spoken to him personally. ::grin::
Off to find lunch. Thursday, October 4 PS: ::hugs Mai:: Hope you feel better soon. And the story with Nicky and Liam will be going on me and Karasu's 'fic page (we're going to have a section for original pieces) as soon as I'm done with the HTML. Hopefully next week sometime. Thursday, October 4 I!! HAVE!! THE X!! OAV!!
XD!!
But I don't have time to watch it until Saturday. Man... school blows ^_~
And CLAMPesque is alive again, good... maybe I'll post my Yami ficlet... did you finish reading that yet? Thursday, October 4 I just learned a valuable lesson: Never assume that because a phobia has improved, it's gone.
I am afraid of wasps/bees/hornets/et cetera. Deathly afraid. (I chalk this up to the fact that one crawled on my face when I was little.) Pretty stupid phobia, right?
Right. I just found one in my room. Half-frozen, lethargic, barely alive. I could *not* bring myself to kill it. I was terrified that if I botched it, it would ... I dunno, sting me to death. (Ok, it's dumb. That's what a phobia is.) It took me twenty minutes to kill this damn thing. I kept trying to smash it with my shoe but freaking out before I got close enough.
Eventually I resorted to a long range attack. I have a bottle of acetone (nail polish remover). I poured a little on the wasp. It started to move. I *completely* tweaked out and poured a *lot* on the wasp. Then I started whapping it with my shoe. Repeatedly.
So what am I left with? A dead wasp that's practically in pieces that I have to somehow get to my trash can, and I am *still* afraid to touch the damn thing with anything shorter than a five foot pole. My floor and one of my pillows and a book are soaked with acetone. And me? I'm freaked. I'm actually crying and hyperventilating.
I got the wasp to the trash can. I washed the pillow, blotted up the floor. (Gave up on the book. It'll dry.) I managed to soak myself washing the pillow. At this point a moth flew past me and I actually shrieked. I am completely gunshy now. And to think I was going to go to bed.
Excuse the rant. I think I'll go read for a while. And next time just go get a floormate to kill the damn thing for me. I don't care if it *is* half past one in the morning. Wednesday, October 3 Spent the entire afternoon writing HTML. The fanfics portion of me and Karasu's new and improved page is almost done.
I just realized I had 250 pages of reading to do for a class that's in an hour. 250! My teacher sucks. I didn't do any of it. In fact, I really don't give a damn. Wednesday, October 3 My random question for the day.
Subaru calls Seishirou "Seishirou-san." Tatsumi calls Tsuzuki "Tsuzuki-san." Sakura calls Yukito "Yukito-san."
I'm sure I could come up with more examples if I tried. Is -san's secret meaning "I'm desperately in love with you but too polite to say anything?"
...I'm making a set of Yami Winamp skins ^_^ One for Tsuzuki, Hisoka, Muraki, Tatsumi, and Watari. That ought to keep me busy for a while, so I won't have time to think about writing. ^_^;; Tuesday, October 2 I gotr my YnM from Kodocha. Great subtitles. Tuesday, October 2 That's it. I give up. I've spent the entire day trying to fix part 10 of Second Chances and it's not getting any better.
The damn story is taking a forced vacation of at *least* two weeks. I'm not opening it again until the thought of working on it doesn't make me feel like killing myself. Over a fic. This is pathetic. I'm too much of a perfectionist.
So, disregard what I said earlier about the revised part 10 being up in a few days. It'll be a few weeks. At least.
I'd work on my Yami fic but I'm too tired. Maybe I'll just go to bed. Monday, October 1 I've been blogging a lot today. I'm working on part 10 of Second Chances. Still. Taking some of the suggestions I got. Working on the wake-up scene currently.
Damn it, I didn't *want* to write a lemon, and almost everyone thinks there should have been one there. ::sigh::
Feel free to ignore my whining.
Monday, October 1 AIM won't let me on.
I'm annoyed and depressed.
Just thought I'd share that. Monday, October 1 ....I knew I shouldn't have posted part 10 yet.
....
::crawls into corner to cry::
Maybe I'll post my YnM ficlet tonight to make myself feel better. Sunday, September 30, 2001 So yeah. Part 10 is posted. I left AIM all day, so now I feel dumb. Sorry for ignoring you.
Saw the rest of Yami No Matsuei.
::dies::
It's the best thing ever. I cried. At the part where Tsuzuki summons Touda ((I'm trying to be ambiguous here for the people who haven't seen it)) and it's all fiery and stuff and Hisoka runs through the flames to get him and is all hugging him and crying and stuff.... I cried. It was so awesome. Now that is why I like Tsuzuki+Hisoka. Even if he is a whiner in the manga. ::grin:: He's still awesome in the anime. And Tatsumi+Tsuzuki *is* very cute, now that I've seen some evidence for it. I just like Hisoka better.
I feel a fic coming on.... any requests? It would be TxH, of course, but other than that I'm open to suggestion.. ^_~ Sunday, September 30, 2001 Tatsumi needs to stop being an idiot. Now. Like right now. ::glares at Tatsumi and a certain unnamed author.::
I'm hungry and I have absolutely no way to get food at this time of day. The dining commons is closed between lunch and dinner on the weekends, the food court isn't open Sundays, there's no food in my room, and I have no money, so I can't go buy anything. I haven't eaten today. I need caffeine, too.
Forced Family Fun Day was actually fun. Weird.
Of course, I had a huge dinner and my stomach didn't know how to cope since I never eat at school, so I spent a good half an hour on the bathroom floor at three a.m., waiting to throw up. I didn't in the end, but it was still obnoxious.
As promised, I'm now going to go look at part 10 of Second Chances and see if it's postable. If it is, I will most likely post it tonight. It's going to be about 16 parts, by the way. Or something around there.
Finally going to go watch the last 2 story arcs of YnM. ::drool:: I had to wait 'till I had the free time. Sick, isn't it. Friday, September 28, 2001 At my sister's for tonight and tomorrow for Forced Family Fun. (This is what I usually call home, since my parents live three days drive away and my dorm room doesn't count.) Now on my sister's computer. Typing is difficult because some of her keys are worn and you can't see the letters. -.-;;;
Went to Boston. Finally got to see a bunch of the sight-seeing things that everyone should see, i.e. Prudential Center. Got 4 volumes of CCS. No Yami though. Blah. Maybe next time. Friday, September 28 And by the way, the beach scene is in part 12, so you won't get it for a while. ::pokes back:: Friday, September 28 ::has written, with Karasu, two pages of Blood Bind::
::has written, by self, five pages of Second Chances::
Go me. Thursday, September 27 ::big huggles for Liz:: I'm sorry to hear about your sis; I hope she's okay. ::more huggles:: And whoever wrote that review was dumb. *I* really like A Will to Live. So ignore the stupid people.
On a more cheerful note, my friend just got the third CCS artbook. And all I have to say is...
TOUYA AND YUKI IN PAJAMAS!!
XD! Thursday, September 27 MURASAKI!! FOUND!!! THE X OAV!!! FANSUBBED!!!! BY THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!! WHOM I LOVE!!! FOREVER! AND EVER!! BECAUSE! THEY HAD THE X OAV!! FOR NINE!!! DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!! INCLUDING!!! SHIPPING!!!!!!
XD
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
::bouncebouncehappyhappywaiwaibounce::
And, um, yeah. I'm sane. Really. Wednesday, September 26 o.O
What are you up to?
::grin:: I hope we get to see it soon!
::puts away laundry:: I have a 20$ parking ticket for parking in a space that isn't marked as Campus parking. I'm irritated. So I'm appealing it. And they had better not make me pay it.
Hopefully Karasu and I will be able to work on Blood Bind tonight... I'll try to beat her into it. ^_^ Tuesday, September 25 I've decided I'm putting Second Chances on the back burner for a couple days. I'll go back and look at it with a fresh eye this weekend, and hopefully get it posted next week.
As an added benefit, this means I might actually have time to do my homework and work on my original stuff ^_^
Had to recite a sonnet in Shakespeare class today. Memorized. And I only remembered that I had to memorize it about 20 hours before the class. Amazingly, I didn't mess up. I love having a great memory.
AIM is letting me on again! ::cheers:: Monday, September 24 The internet is broken again. So if anyone who usually talks to me is looking for me, AIM is being a fuck and refusing to let me sign on. And I tried DLing ICQ since I've been meaning to anyway, and by the speed it's going at, I imagine it'll finish sometime next week. >_<
Better luck tomorrow, I hope. Monday, September 24, 2001 LEARETH!! I love you! ::readsreadsreads::
::swoons:: Ahem. Yeah. You're great as usual. And I'll have you know I didn't ignore Closed Doors, I like that fic just as much and Tatsumi needs to stop being an IDIOT and do something useful before I beat him. Eheh. ::hugs everyone involved:: And Touya and Yue are wonderful as usual.
Ne, Murasaki, I meant to say this earlier, do you want me to give a go at translating that German? Or did someone else already do it? I did take four years of it, so I'd probably be able to work it out. Monday, September 24 Over the course of a few long talks with Liz, Karasu, and Yume-neechan, I think I've figured out what was bugging me about part 10. So thanks to everyone who offered to help beta, but I think I'll be okay.
However, I have an opinion poll!
Who thinks Subaru should figure out what's going on (i.e. that he's reincarnated, as is Seishirou) before he regains his memory? (I hope you all knew that he was going to regain his memory. I mean, there wouldn't be much point to the story if he didn't. Eheh.)
I'm curious to hear what you guys think, so let me know! Sunday, September 23 Part 9 of Second Chances is up at CLAMPesque and YnH.
::rereads part 10::
::cries:: Sunday, September 23 So I have this small issue.
I am finished part 9 of Second Chances and I'll probably post it tomorrow because I'm way too tired right now to stick in HTML and these things.
Part nine is fine.
But I have realized I am vastly discontent, displeased, and unimpressed with what I have of parts 10 and 11. ::sigh:: I don't even know *why* I don't like them. But I think I may have to scrap large parts of it and try again. So part 9 may be the last one for a while.
Argh. Saturday, September 22, 2001 Gomen, Leareth (and everyone else who was reading Second Chances), it may be a few days... ::grin:: Part nine's not done yet, but I'll try to get it up Monday. I have a busy weekend watching movies with friends ^_^
Sleepy tired... night now. Wednesday, September 19 Napped. Still feel like crap. I'm beginning to think that the last 20 years of sleep deprivation have caught up with me, because these days no matter how much I sleep, I'm still tired. Hopefully I can get to bed early tonight because I have 10 hours of class tomorrow and then I have to drive back to my hometown.
....and I wish my hands would stop shaking.
Haven't scared anyone with part 8 yet. I'm off to class. Wednesday, September 19 So, um... part 8 of Second Chances is up... at CLAMPesque as well as at YnH.... ::hides:: Even though Mura-chan and Karasu-chan both say it's okay to post, I'm nervous....
I slept for 11 hours straight.
I'm exhausted.
::runs off to lunch:: Tuesday, September 18 New layout! Wasn't going to put it up for a while, but insomnia can do a lot for half-done projects. So it's Hisoka and Tsuzuki, because they're my favorite pairing from YnM (though I also really like Tatsumi+Tsuzuki and it was reading Leareth's latest fic that put me on the Yami kick to begin with. Also, I finally got the last two volumes in the mail today.) Anyway, I love Hisoka, and Tsuzuki, and Hisoka+Tsuzuki, so here is my pretty layout. And Meia? Thanks for the space.
My head is killing me. ::goes to try, once again, to nap:: Tuesday, September 18 Oog. Went to bed at two. I think for a while I must've actually been asleep, because I had less blankets on than I started with when I got up. But it feels like I was awake most of the time. And now I feel sick. Stomacheache, headache, shivers. Guess I haven't shaken the last of this virus. Or maybe it's because I never really ate dinner.
Either way it's really annoying. ::has to be up for class in 6 hours:: Monday, September 17, 2001 For what it's worth, Leareth, I'm American and I think you're right. ::huge sweatdrop:: ((Though I really don't know why anyone would hate us that much, but I'm not big on politics anyway.))
Waaahhh.... no one's commenting on my ficcy.... ::is attempting to write Kamui-being-hysterical-and-Fuuma-being-all-comforting::
Cardcaptors is on at three... the temptation to watch, just so I can pick it apart... Monday, September 17, 2001 So. YnH is sort of revived. All of it except the fanfics page. So what else is new.
But! In better news, Clampesque is up! And I posted parts 6 and 7 of Second Chances there, so everyone has to go and leave me feedback, ne?
Marry you? Hmm... I was planning on marrying a millionaire and murdering him for his money, but it's not every day that I find someone else who likes Moxy Fruvous!! XDXD!! ((I want them to go on tour again... I got to go to one of their concerts two years ago and I loved it.)) Sunday, September 16 Had an interesting day yesterday. Watched Trigun while reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman. *That* was trippy. Wrote about three lines of Second Chances. Designed a ton of HTML to spiffy up my new page and came to the conclusion that my HTMLing designing skills are nonexistent and I need to break down and get Dreamweaver. Sifted through the old YnH and Vestris boards for old fic parts since my computer went whammo! a while ago and erased my hard copy of Loyalties. And I never had one of Skewed Views to begin with.
Watched Card Captor Sakura with someone who had thus far only seen the American Cardcaptors. (("Syaoran has a crush on Yuki too??")) Which was all right, since she liked the Japanese way better, and her reaction to Cinderella!Touya had me in stitches.
Erased previous three lines of Second Chances. ::Sweatdrop:: Tried to write a Subaru-Seishirou kissy scene only to have my muses abandon me.
Got yelled at by best friends. Had nervous breakdown on Murasaki's and Liz's shoulders. ::hugs you guys:: Eheh. Sorry about that. Got ego boost and went on with life. Bribed them with part 7 of Second Chances.
Went to bed.
Life is normal. Saturday, September 15 For those of you loyal readers of my blog, you get a treat -- (or do I flatter myself) -- I posted part six of Second Chances on my little page. So here it is. I'll still probably post it at YnH, but you all get to read it early.
::wanders off to bed:: Friday, September 14 Just to let everyone know, I'm basically giving up on YnH.
I've found a temporary home for my fics. Once I make it look better, it may just become a fanfic page. But I didn't feel like getting into it today. Those of you were looking for the a) beginning of 'Til Death, b) beginning of Blood Bind, or c) end of an Xmas Carol, you can find them here.
Unless YnH is better by the time I have part 6 of Second Chances ready, that fic will probably be going up there. Friday, September 14 THAT'S IT! I GIVE UP! ON YNH! I JUST GIVE UP!
I'm going to finish posting 2nd chances there since I don't have anywhere else to post it. And after that, forget it. Because this is ridiculous.
Woke up sick to my stomach again. Damn, this virus is a pain in the neck. Thursday, September 13 Skipped the last half of band. Though skipped isn't really the right word. I was actually so sick that my fellow percussionists forced me to go home. I was sneezing and coughing and distracting everyone. Plus, whenever I stood up, I had to grab hold of something to keep from falling over. I'm so dizzy and headachey that I think I'm lucky I made it home without walking into a telephone pole or something. (Two of my fellow percussionists, however, just got over this virus. Including the stomach part. So I'm glad it's not just me.)
All I want... is one. Week. Without. A disaster. International, national, or simply person. Just one week! That's all I want!
Sorry... but when all my friends start having nervous breakdowns around me, I always start to wonder when my turn's coming. I'm still glad I'm back at school -- not complaining about that -- but I'm sick and I'm tired and there are 5000 people still missing and my head aches and all my friends are going nuts.
Right.
Life goes on.
So if you're looking for me, I probably won't be online tonight. Gonna drink some hot tea and take a nice long hot shower and go to bed early.

Normally I would have ten straight hours of class today, with only an hour break for lunch that I missed most of today because of a meeting and an hour break for dinner. But I get a break! I'm very pleased about this, especially because I got nearly no sleep.
And I have the weirdest virus on earth. Whenever I eat, I get sick afterwards >_< Which is really annoying. So I had some chicken fingers for lunch, then spent ten minutes in the bathroom trying not to throw up. ::has hot tea to calm stomach:: I know it's a virus because Karasu just had it last week. She says it lasts like a week and a half and the only thing she could eat was dry cereal.
Going to be a long week then.
Posted part five of Second Chances. Wai. Thursday, September 13 Tired. Can't sleep again. Class tomorrow. Must sleep. Can't sleep.
Sick of doing quotes. Quotes are boring. Ran out of good ones weeks ago anyway. Switching to music. Fun, because I have very eclectic taste.
Must sleep. Don't really feel like sleeping. Feeling like distracting self. Thus, as callous as it seems, part five of Second Chances will be up tomorrow.
Because you know what?
I REFUSE TO LET THESE BASTARDS INTERRUPT MY LIFE. MY LIFE WILL GO ON AS FUCKING NORMAL AND I'LL GO TO FUCKING CLASS AND READ MY FUCKING FANFICTION AND POST ON MY FUCKING BLOG. AND SWEAR A LOT. BECAUSE IF I LET THIS FUCK ME UP
they win.
And I will not allow that.
So yeah. That means I should be going to bed. Which is funny, because I don't really feel like going to bed. And I'm babbling. On my blog. Which is just kinda sad somehow.
Right. Gonna go sleep.
