Drabble request meme on eternally_sky? Obv., you have to be a member of the community to request something. So for crap's sake, get on it with already! I'm a big ol' attention-getting whore. :)

Sign-ups (probably) end at 11 AM tomorrow when I check these thingers at work and write them when I'm supposed to be making sure my gas station doesn't explode. Try not to give me anything TOO impossible, guys. (LOLOLOLOL)

[EDIT]: OH HOLY GOD KALLEN YOUR FACE WTF IS THE MATTER WITH IT

[EDIT DSQUARED]: Should point out that you have to actually JOIN eternally_sky, not just watch it, to be able to view that entry. I think. Probably. It doesn't hurt, at any rate.

This... is really actually very good. For some reason I've become fandom's fic pimp all of a sudden, orz. 6980 (yes you read that right) by cleartempest. I haven't left a comment yet because, uh, HANGOVER (god it hurts), but m'just saying - it's good fic, thar. Mukuro has a wonderfully morbid sense of humor. XD

Well, work is being a right old pain for a change, so I figured I'd zen myself out a bit by talking about my favorite subject - myself! (lol j/k) A fanfiction meme that I saw on yamikakyuu's LJ, and even though she didn't tag me, I figured WHAT THE SHIT I'LL DO IT ANYWAY.

Behind the cut?

( [ore nai mono na no ka] )



And now, I'm done. Mmmm, delicious attention-whoring meme was delicious. And sure enough, I forgot about how much I hate my job at this moment and how much I want customers to die! But now, of course, since the meme is finished, I'm forced to remember those facts once again... le sigh.

Tag some friends because they'll hate you for it.

Who am I in the mood to have hate me today? Well, yamikakyuu already did this meme, so... realms_of_life, bellumina, and teapoit, since I don't think hopechan will have time to do this from stupid Russia, unfortunately, and it seems like emptybackpack is always busy these days with physics. D:

Thoughts? Comments? ELL OH ELLs?

Hence, spam!

I'm reccing a Chrome gen fic that was posted to the hitman_reborn comm sometime earlier this day; it's really good. Obv., because I am No Good at leaving reviews, I can't really put my finger on why, but just that it's good Chrome characterization and HAY! Backstory! Also with the added promise of 1896 somewhere along the road, so go and give this girl some encouragement, people!

Also lol I seem to have roped myself into writing a TYL!Goku/Irie Shoichi fic. (Oi, BTW, the prompts for that challenge are really good, so if any of you guys have been feeling fic/art-dead like I have lately, go check it out! You can write any pairing/characters you feel like, but I imagine the word count will kill most of my friends-list. ^^;;

Rune, Seki, sign up to do the art part, wouldja?! It looks like the challenge could use some more artists...

I WILL STOP SPAMMING NOW, I SWEAR.

Stolen from yamikakyuu because...iunno, I need to post more fandom-ish things and less about wanky real life.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.


1.) "After Dark" - Asian Kung-Fu Generation. The 7th Bleach OP. It hits the high-mark of "songs most played" on my iTunes with a whopping 298 plays. (The second song on that list, "Acrux" by 403 Forbiddena, only hits 110.) I actually wrote most of runesque's 1896 fic while listening to this song. (Even though it doesn't fit, like, at all.)

2.) "Suicide's Love Story" - Nana Kitade. I'll be upping this in a massive music uploading post soon. :) The ending to the Persona -trinity soul- anime. I spent most of today at work with this on in the background.

3.) "Birthday", "ALIBI", and "Strain" - Straightener. I'm counting these as one because they're all by the same band. Straightener is the shit. Kind of. Those three SONGS are the shit - the rest of their discography, not so much. "Electography" is really good, too.

4.) "King Knight" - ALI PROJECT. The .//hack ROOTS ending. I used to hate it up until a week ago, lol.

5.) "Akatsuki no Kuruma" + acoustic version - FictionJunction YUUKA. From some Macross anime or another. Going on the aforementioned music uploading post in a couple of days.

6.) "EXEC_SUSPEND/." - Noriko Mitose. From the Ar Tonelico Hymnos Concert Side Crimson. See #s 2 and 5.

7.) "New World" - Back-On. I'm pretty sure I've uploaded that at some point in my life. If not, I sure as shit meant to. That song is the "Crawling" of the Japanese world, lol.





On a separate note, it feels good to have finished a fanfic again. But now I'm kind of craving goodfic to READ. I'm looking for some 6927 and (OH JEEZ HERE IT COMES) 8059, just because goddammit I need some OTP. Also, of course, anything involving Gamma because fjda;lfk;asldkfsdkfsdafdsf WHEN DID I DEVELOP SOME A METAPHORICAL HARD-ON FOR THAT GUY???

Not tagging anyone to do this meme because I don't have seven friends. My life is pain.

Enjoy, fag.

Unfortunately, Mukuro (the hot guy wearing the glasses from that doujin I was reading?) doesn't show up until, like...chapter 60, lol. I'll up the next 50 chapters or something for you tomorrow when we get back from work.

Everyone else, just ignore this post. It's a .rar of the early shit chapters of KHR.

Ahhh, it's been a while since I've posted in my normal journal, hunh? I've actually been a bit busy, socially. (And have also plowed through Growlanser: Heritage of War in record time, but we'll just pretend that I've BEEN BUSY SOCIALLY, OKAY?) *laugh*

Since apparently it's interesting in hearing the bawdy crap that goes on in my real life, I guess I'll talk about the party I went to last night here. (Reborn chapters 187-8, too, if I feel like it. Spanner is a Japanophile. And that's awesome. That's all anyone needs to know. HE CAME TO JAPAN BECAUSE THEIR ROBOT TECHNOLOGY WAS SUPERIOR. THAT'S LIKE COMING TO AMERICA BECAUSE YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO FLIP BURGERS OR LEARN POLITICS, LOL.)

So anyway, I went to this party last week with Sean. Pretend you're surprised. And -

That aside, it's been a good couple of weeks. :) Writing has been a little stalled (which, uh, ack!), but I'm enjoying having things to actually go out and DO at night, rather than just sitting around playing video games on my TV.

Rebecca's birthday is next Sunday, and Seanie's is the Friday after that... I wonder what I should get them?

I downloaded Geass R2, but have yet to watch it. *shrug* I'M SO MOTIVATED, WOW. I've actually been reading Air Gear because KHR has kind of stalled as of late. I thought Ikki got butt-raeped in the first chapter but apparently he was just deflowered with a firecracker. WOW, I BET YOU'RE ALL DYING TO READ THIS MANGA NOW. lol. But it's shounen, and I'm a sucker for shounen. XD

I also watched xxxHolic: Kei. It's...somehow not as good as the first anime season of xxxHolic? O.o Was the impression I got, but I was also butt-ass-tired so I could be wrong about that.

Some thoughts about attending Otakon 2008 in Baltimore here?

( [hikaru yo yura yura] )

Well, since about three people (lol) expressed interest in it, ( [hoshi no hikari dake da shiteru] (orig novel notes under the cut!) )



Anyway, I won't spoil anything else, so I'll shut up now. As for posting...well, I decided to go ahead and post it to eternally_sky, under a community lock, so for those of you who have just friended my personal journal, or are only watching eternally_sky, you'll have to go ahead and BECOME A MEMBER in order to read it when I post it, okay?



Now, apparently, there are people on this journal who want to see me talk more about my personal life y/n? (I'd honestly talk more about it if there was stuff to tell, lol. But if people really want to know more about me, and less about my fandoms, then I can make the effort to talk a bit about myself some more.)

Enh, a couple of things.

First of all, I've been wondering this for a while, but how many of you would be interested in reading original writing of mine? I've been working on my novel for a couple of months straight, and I feel like I'm going to stick it out enough to post it publicly, now. Up until now, I've been posting it under a lock to hopechan, who's been doing the editing and whatnot, but I've been thinking lately that I might start posting sections of it community-locked to eternally_sky, if people are interested.

Summarily, I can post it to kill_me_faster, too, for those who might be interested who aren't members of my ficblog, but I'll have to do it under a filter.

I'm cool with either option, so for those of you who are a member of either or both, leave a comment with suggestions if you're interested! ^^ Conversely, if you feel like you need more info than just 'some of my original writing lololol' - stuff like general genre, plot, etc. - then let me know about that too and I can make an addendum to this post or something.

Anyway.

( [ano sora e to mukou] (impressions of latest KHR chapters behind the cut) )

Went to a party at my friend Eleanor's last night with Sean. It was...interesting. I got hosed off of six beers. *SHAME* I spent a lot of time going around calling people names with the prefix 'goddamned' attached: 'goddamned shitcunt', 'goddamned wino', 'goddamned shithead', among them, but since all of my friends know that brutal insults are the way that I show love, they thought it was pretty funny. XD

There was beer pong in the garage, and somebody lit a fire outside on the pool deck (YAY FOR LIVING IN BUM-FUCK NOWHERE), and we wound up roasting marshmallows on a spit and stuff; it was really cool. Except marshmallows+beer=DO NOT MIX, so I got really nauseous around the later half of the night.

But...it was kind of weird, too. I thought I'd reached the end of this particular road with Sean, you know, because he's still all hung up on his separated wife and whatnot. It bugged the shit out of me at first, but I went out for beers and dinner with him late one night last week and he talked to me about it for a long time, and I felt LOADS better after it was done. Less like, I wasn't a good enough person to make him forget about her and more like, it didn't have anything to do with me, and it wasn't something I could help.

So we reached the path of 'ridiculously good friends who everyone wonders WHY THE HELL THEY JUST AREN'T DATING YET', which isn't necessarily a bad place to be. And we both got a little tipsy last night (well, okay, I was pretty drunk, and HE was a little toasty, so to speak), and I wound up...sitting on him a lot. Not like, "HAY WOW LOOK IT'S MY FAT ASS RIGHT IN UR FACE, SQUASHING UR BALLZ", but more like, me and my friends were going out on the pool deck to sit in front of the fire in these lawn chairs, right? And with him already sitting in one, there wasn't enough seats for all of us. So he was like, "Don't be retarded, just sit in my lap".

Which...sober, I would never, EVER do. Because I'm self-conscious, above all else. O.o And I have intimacy issues out the wazoo - which, okay, I KNOW that sitting in a chair with some guy isn't being 'intimate', but I just don't like to be that close to people of the opposite gender. But I did it anyway.

And it was...nice. Surprisingly nice. O.o Not like, heart-thumping-out-of-chest nice, or me getting the wrong idea nice or anything, but as just two really close, but not sexually close, people...really nice. Enough so that later in the night, I went back and did it again.

Like, what happened was, he was standing on the pool deck arguing with some dude over politics (?! I know, right?), and I was around the side of Eleanor's garage feeling violently, violently nauseous and just wanting to puke already. (I feel the urge to point out that I never did. D: I really wish I had, because I know I would have felt better afterwards. And I wouldn't have been the only one barfing everywhere, trust me.) Anyway, I went up the side stairs to the deck and just plopped down in some chair, tilted my head back, and started gulping in air with my mouth trying not to feel sick anymore. And the guy who he was arguing with was all like, "We should stop arguing, 'cuz you gotta take care of that girl", which I remember really annoyed me because I just wanted to be like, "I'M NOT HIS FREAKING WOMAN, WHAT THE HELL" because the way he said it was kinda misogynic. O.o

Anyway, Sean said something, and the obnoxious guy left, and he sat next to me in one of the folding chairs and was like, "Dude, are you okay?". And I was like, "Vooooomit." And he was like, "You're freaking freezing. You're shivering all over the place. Come over here." And I was like, "Nuuuu, do not want D:" because well, did not want. I WANTED to roll my head to the side and drown in my own bodily fluids, if you've ever felt that drunk and nauseous before then you should know. But he just kind of dragged my chair over and pulled me into his lap. And started, like, rubbing my hands and stuff. And he was like, "God dammit, you really ARE freezing." (Because apparently, I was. And just didn't realize it until I woke up today. DRINKING ALCOHOL IS BAD, KIDS.) And we just sat like that there for a while.

And like I said, it wasn't romantic or anything like that. It didn't give me butterflies in my stomach or anything. It just made me realize that, as two individuals sharing bodily comfort on the whole, I really freaking enjoyed it. Because a lot of my friends and stuff know that I have personal issues, and don't really like to be touched a lot, I never get hugs or anything when I actually need them. And this was nice. And this made me glad that we could stay friends. :D

In other party-related news, the thing was fun as a whole. I got to see some friends from a friends' circle whom I hadn't seen in forever (had a falling-out with their 'ringleader', so to speak, and was pretty much blacklisted from any event they were ever going to have again, ever), and I'd never seen Eleanor's garage apartment, and it was really nicely decorated and stuff. The beer pong was awfully competitive, but it was fun to watch anyway. :D And I met a whole bunch of other people who I'd never met before in my life. I think if Ely has another party, I'll definitely go, even if it's all the way down in shit Towson where she usually lives.




...........so anyway, wao, this post went on forever. I'm gonna...go do something now.
