So, I finally decided to do NaNoWriMo yesterday. Yes, on 9th. I'm terribly behind.

I'm writing an evil Kingdom Hearts AU of the second game, branching of during 358/2 Days. It's featuring Zack and Sephiroth. I shall be doing evil, mean, nasty things to many characters.

I'm at 4500 words. I should be at 16,667 words. This may not have been the best idea, but Zack wouldn't shut up.

So.

Here's the barely edited, first draft prologue (No 358/2 Days spoilers or really much KH so far. Just Zack still.) It's short and probably all I'm going to put up for a while.

( Read more? )

(Just beat the game.)

Oh, Squeenix, you've done it again.

♥

OMFG, I want that library back now, damn it. The one here doesn't compare to it in anyway, and there's a handful of books that I want to read again that I just realized I only remember in relation to other books. Damn it.

...When's the next time I go back to visit...?

I sometimes wonder about my childhood self. I was reading edenfalling 's analysis of the Disney and BBC versions of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and suddenly remember that when I was about 4 or 5,  after I'd seen BBC's version of LWW for the first (of many) time(s), I was Aslan for that Halloween. Not Lucy, nor Susan, not even Jadis, but Aslan.

Maybe I wasn't as aware of gender as I thought then? But I remember being hyper aware of it...

To my immune system:

If I could fire you, I totally would. Yes, really. I'm sick again.

No love,

Me

I'm fangirling Xigbar.

Yes, the guy with the gray streaked hair and the eye patch.

Off of a handful of lines.

And yet I'm now more or less squeeing every time he shows up.

Huh.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK.

Just found out that the I was refused for helth insurace. Fuck. Becuase I recurringly sprained my wrist. Yeah. And being refused once red flags me. All I wanted was coverage in case of something catastrophic. That's all.

So.

I've been more or less hiding on the internet recently.

Been really a month, minus the job search whining. That's going better now, by the way. My resume got spiffier. I'm even applying to a job near Tokyo in my other non-Japanese major's field. This makes me happy.

It's getting cold now, when I went outside to feed the cat, I went right back in to grab a jacket.

It's kinda weird to be back at home with my mom this time of year. It's been three years since I've had a fall with her, and it's disquieting that this could be the last one I could have with her. I'm really enjoying it though, but I'm not sure if that's just because my father's been really busy at work (tends to go in by 8, comes back for dinner at 6, and half the time goes back to work). Anyways, I went walking with her for about an hour yesterday at the local march restoration project and pointed to about every plant in sight and asked her what it was. She knew most of them, but she wants to go back with a camera for a few she couldn't identify. Operation Get Mom to Exercise seems to be a success (seriously, she said we could walk for half an hour, and we nearly spent two).

Writing wise, the sequel to Graveside Conversations has stolen my muse away from me. 10,000 words and counting. I'm not going to post anything until I get it all straight, but I think it might be done by Christmas, if the muse stays.

In other happy news, I'm should be going to SugoiCon this October, barring an interview that Friday or such. Anyone else out there going?

I've also been sewing some, and hopefully I'll have a skirt done in a few days. I finished sewing in the lining last night, but I need to hem it and paint it, since I'm going for this funky b&w checkered look, with uneven checks (...and yeah, that last bit makes things so much easier). If it looks good, I think I might post a picture~!

I also have the house to myself, and this is truly a wonderful feeling. If I wanna listen to J-rock in the basement at three in the morning while sewing and cursing, who's gonna stop me?

I think I'm sick again. Except that I'm really not sure if that's true. Hm.
( whining about my panicking )

Okay, I've been wondering this since fall of '99 when I first read the books (OMG, I feel old).

How the fuck did Chamber of Secrets entrance end up in a bathroom?

I ONLY NEED TO GET A 35% ON THE FINAL TO PASS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!


(yes, I suck at physics, but this is VERY good news)

(I still like relativity and time dilation. Why couldn't I have had to have taken a class with similar things?)

Dear self,

Yes, it's shiny.

HOWEVER in about 13 hours you have your last exam. You know, the one you need to pass to get your degree?

This is NOT the time to start reading Japanese fanfiction. Really.

~Me

How come all the fun stuff in physics comes later? I would love to learn more about the theory of relativity or the twin paradox or black holes.

*sigh*

It's a hell week, I think. Last exam, then graduation. If I don't pass, I'm not sure what will happen (and NO ONE say that 'things will be fine'. Please refer to the fact that I took this course before at a higher level and still only got Ds on the first two exams). I'm past the point of freaking out though.

Um, next chapter of NF is written, but needs to be edited. And editing is bitchy and annoying, but needed.

Moving out Friday (which doesn't help), but not too much to do there. I think.

Current Writing:
WotC 11 [YGO/HP]: 25%
KSR PWP [Kingdom Hearts]: 40% (?)
Tribute Thief [YGO]: 35% (?)
Turk!fic [FFVII] owed to _yaten_kou_ : Not started, but plot is forming. 0%

Okay, world?

For the next 12-16 hours, you are officially on hold.

I hate resumes, job applications, etc.

Co-written with the ever-lovelyurplesquirrel . Posted on LJ by me due to her RL obligations. Expect spotty updates until about 8/15.

Title: Nobody Fades
Spoilers: All the way through KH2.
Characters/Pairing: Sora, Roxas. Will be Sora/Riku/Kairi, with others later on.
Summary: When you’ve saved the worlds (twice!), what’s left to do?  Well, if you’re Sora, then you decide to give your Nobody a separate body.


Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 5
( Chapter 6 )

So, I think the upcoming physics exam has gotten to me. That and urplesquirrel not being here. (I blame her. Even if the urge to write with an exam coming up is more consistent with the past.)

I've decided to write over 9000 words by this time Sunday night. Let's see if it holds?

I love my kitten in the morning and how she'll crawl all over me, purring.

In other news, I think I'm now a zombie.

WotC 11 progress: 5%

I have to get up again in about five hours.

Does my muse care?

Fuck, no!
