*thump*

Tsubaki-hime!!!

Geo-chan, it’s so nice to hear from you! Thank you for signing my guestbook. ^_^ Lisette-chan has told me you’ve been reading my writing and liking very much. When the forum’s back, come visit! Lisette-chan told me you’re afraid of Sapphire Waters. It must be similar to being in Yaoi Heaven again. One of Elise’s brothers wouldn’t read it cause he said it’s too gay right from the beginning. But I’m proud of our boys.

Anyway, my college is all being paid for, so everything is good. I’ll even have a little extra money for Otakon now. I’m happy. Although we’re still hoping for another person or two that we know to ask to room with us.

I suppose I should go work on writing more Tomena now. I have all the scenes for the next chapter planned, just need to write it all down…… ^_^;;

When Draco-in-my-head takes the test:

What Kind Of Fanfiction!Draco Are You?
a quiz from pot and staffs
Well congratulations on being true to the books! Or maybe just a spoiled, snobby sadist. In any case, you are the form of Draco least commonly seen in fanfiction, probably because, when you get right down to it, the REAL Draco isn’t too likeable. But it’s okay, you’ve got brains, power, AND a cute butt! What more could a true Slytherin want? Likely Pairings: Draco/Snape, Draco/Pansy

When I take the test:

What Kind Of Fanfiction!Draco Are You?
a quiz from pot and staffs
You are one of the most common forms of Draco in fanfiction. Yes yes, you used to be a sadistic bastard, but you’ve CHANGED! Many writers can pull you off, because you’re adaptable to almost any fluffy romance. But you can also be confused and angst-ridden. Any way you look at it, you’re a fic writer’s dream. Go you!
Likely Pairings: Draco/Harry, Draco/Anyone outside of Slytherin

…Draco is laughing at me, and Harry is huffy because we said rude things about him. (Weasley, since when did you let Harry loose again? I thought we learned better after last time.)

What’s up with online quizzes? I mean, everyone likes them. (Mmm, broad generalizations.) But an individual quiz only gives you a few brief moments of pleasure, and then you’re off looking for another hit. (Yes, I am implying that online quizzes are drugs.) At least you get a pretty picture and an amusing quip, right? Right? (Your inner monologue is out right now. Please leave a message at the tone.)

I got tired of talking in parenthesis. (Which would be a really good opening to a story, and - damnit, I’m doing the parenthesis thing again!)

*ahem* Anyway, online quizzes = addictive drugs. I want another one.

Now that I know how to reach the blog login again, I thought I’d babble for a while. ^_^

I move away to college in a month. When ever I start thinking about it, I burst into tears. I scared my mom and my littlest sister today. Makes me feel pathetic. I’m not even going very far. Just the next state over. But it’ll be a several hour drive if I want to come home, and I have to leave my boys behind. They’re not going to take me leaving well since they’re complete momma’s boys. And I’m not really ready for moving out. I don’t have all the stuff I’ll need, and my car barely works. I don’t even know where I’ll be living yet. I’m supposed to find out this month.

At least I have good classes. I’m only taking 4 classes. Intensive Japanese, Japanese art and culture, Linguistics and Embracing Diversity. I’ve waited so long to take Japanese classes but I’m so worried I’m going to screw up. We’ll see. ^_^;;

For those of you who don’t know, my website is updated every 12th and 28th. So, there is stuff to read on my page. The updates might be a day late sometimes, but they will happen from now on. The last update was yesterday, so make sure you check everything out. Stephy-chan linked my stories from Digital Fiction and you can go rate them now. Sapphire Waters and Tomena are under Fantasy and The Asani is under Supernatural.

You know what’s going to be fun? Getting my fish to school. A three hour car drive with a fish. Excellent.

Hm… I guess I only have one other thing to say. When the forum works again, come visit me! Having new people talking in my section would be real nice. I know there are some of you out there who like my writing, so check it out. If nothing else, you might get a laugh reading some of the discussions. ^_^

Geo- The title was kinda random, really. I like talking in Engrish, but it’s hard to write it - and then no one understands it. >.< I figured you'd get that one, though. (I signed onto AOL for a bit and didn't see you. When are you usually on?)

Mum got me new headphones, and I feel dreadful looking a gift horse in the mouth, but... They're the around-the-back-of-the-head kind, and they're open design - they don't cover the ears, just sit on them. I'll probably buy a new pair myself, but good headphones are so expensive... Damn bunny.

*yawn* Summer is drawing short. I still haven't made it to the beach. *pout* And I haven't hung out with my friends at all, hardly, and I’ve been reading Eroica fics again and thus feel incredibly… foppish. But don’t tell anyone, because I’ll never live it down.

I want a Fudgesicle. Do you know how long it’s been since I had a fudgesicle? Or went to the beach? Well, alright, I think I went to the beach with Steph-san and Neechan maybe last fall? Early spring? It was chill, but not wintery, I remember. Darn my foul lack of memory.

Forum news- I’m making Touga a webpage! As a return gift for the pretty Sephiroth arts, you see. ^.^ I’m rather pleased with it, and have even taught myself a new scrap of CSS for the occasion. (I’m sorry, but the scrollbar just had to be on the left. It doesn’t work on the right at ALL.) I wish I knew the Java or suchwhat for the thingies you float the cursor over. If you set the speed right, they’re a delight… But those would want a layout far more elaborate than what I can make, so I shall be happy with playing with link layouts.

How does one go about making an image map? Yanno, with the links and such. I can’t remember where I could yoink the code from…

Steph-san, remind me to find the site with the uber-neat links for you. They fade to another color when you float the mouse over them, and it was just really cool. Maybe it was that PotC site I found…

I HATE the bunny. It ate my headphones. My nice headphones, the kind that covers your whole ear and drowns out the world. The ones that were kind of falling apart, but that I am emotionally attached to. Fucking bunny.

*ahem* In other news… There is no other news. The forum is causing bandwidth problems, so it might go away, but that’s better than losing PDN. I feel bad for Steph-san, having to deal with all this.

Parents are out being cute together, leaving me with… the bunny. And a lack of non-fattening food. >.< So I ate noodles with alfredo sauce and felt guilty.

Neechan’s car got fixed! LBSB is okay again! We can LEAVE THE HOUSE AT WILL!!!!!!!! (I don’t like to use massive amounts of punctuation. This should tell you how excited I am.) Ah, sweet freedom.

I’m debating between the DNAngel layout and a Snape layout. The Snape layout works better with 800×600, so I might stick with that, but I feel obliged to use the Krad one because of how much effort I put into it. As long as I get it done soon, who cares, though? I need to get everything together. Dar.

And that is the news for today.

KusoKowai.net will have a heck of a lot of fanlistings, I tell you. I’m going to apply for 18 of them, and I’ve made 3 thingies already. The other 15 were alright, so I left them alone, but the Riku, Croc Hunter, and Shounen fanlistings didn’t have anything really good. (Found your submissions on the FF fanlisting, Geo, and I’m going with one of your Sephiroths.) I managed to find a really good picture for the Croc Hunter one, and the Riku one is alright. The Shounen one is… iffy. I should have outlined the text better. But I was so annoyed with it! And then I deleted the backups, so I have to stick with the crappy-text version. >.< Maybe I should just find a different fanlisting to fill that spot.

…No, I’m not obsessed with pretty pictures. Not at all. (There really isn’t a point to fanlistings beyond providing you with pretty pictures, I think. And they are pretty! Very pretty. Better than Winamp skins. *coos*)

Shan-san visited! We played DDR (Steph-san somehow convinced him to play. I wish I had seen it. *pout*) and saw Pirates of the Caribbean. Which leads into my next topic.

Alright, I admit I liked the movie. But not because of the plot or the actors or the funny dead men. (Well, partially because of the funny dead men.) I liked Jack Sparrow. He’s just… just… fruity. Not gay, mind you - there’s a fine distinction between the two, and Jack walks that line quite well. I liked the eye makeup. XD Upon leaving the theatre, our group got into a discussion about how fun it would be to act like that all the time. Steph-san pointed out that it would take a lot of work. The only question in my mind is, could I pull it off?

But then I realize I’m not nearly brave enough to act like that, and that it just doesn’t fit me to begin with. Maybe when I’m older. *sigh*

Later: Just went poking through the blog referrals, and these are the more interesting results:

www.poyzn.net/yume: 26
Brain Connect: 7
Steph’s DW page: 3
Hikage’s Archives: 3
Search: Slytherin Layout: 1
Search: silver hair anime pics: 1
Search: Weiss Krez: 2
Search: Sephiroth Kotobukiya: 1
And… Kouri checked out who’s been referring her blog. Apparently we visit her an awful lot. ^^;;

Too bad I don’t have counters on every archive page, because that’s where the search engines tend to send folks to, and then they go to the main blog. I know a lot of folks get here via Weiss searches, because the “Weiss Weiss Weiss!” entry has the most comments from unknown folks.

(And we finally had a single visitor from Africa and thus have had visitors from every continent. I am pleased.)

Top ten countries that visit us:
1. United States 5264 89.1%
2. Canada 164 2.8%
3. Australia 48 0.8%
4. France 44 0.7%
5. United Kingdom 42 0.7%
6. Dominican Republic 38 0.6%
7. Germany 32 0.5%
8. Hong Kong S.A.R. 26 0.4%
9. Singapore 19 0.3%
10. Japan 18 0.3%

*reads on and blinks* How can I have had a visitor from the former USSR? It’s *former*. I guess they really did invent time travel…

You weren’t the only one to notice page 404, Steph-san.

And on that note, the art here is the most beautiful I have seen. Go see.

Dad says we can’t keep the bunny. *cries* We’re supposed to just have her for a few days and then give her back, but she’s so cute and they’re so mean to her! The little kids in Pony Camp think she’s named “Bitch”. *mutter*

I think I dreamt about Lucius last night. …Not like that, you perverts. It was a really elaborate dream that involved You-Know-Who (I still can’t quite make myself say his name. Darn you, JKR!) and Draco and Harry and the Daily Prophet and Veritaserum and… It was odd.

*yawn* Last night I went to bed early, wrote for two hours until I was too tired to write, tried to fall asleep for two hours, and eventually passed out in an uncomfortable tangle of blankets. I love my brain. *mutter mutter* But on the other hand, I wrote 11KB of text in Notepad. My laptop hates me, so I can’t tell you how many pages that is, but after being used to writing at most a paragraph in one night… I am pleased. (Work in my Yami story is on hold until I get Snape out of my system.)

We have a bunny. No, really: she used to belong to the stable for Pony Camp, but she was a bit nibbly (we suspect she was just frightened, but since they were a bunch of *mutter mutter* they’d never admit to that.), and they were going to just turn her loose in the woods. So now there’s a bunny in our living room. She’s kinda large, for a rabbit. Makes me think of Watership Down. Mum says her name is Persephone, or some such, but I don’t think it fits her. I’m trying to think of a proper nickname I can call the dearie.

Weasley, what does one do to care for rabbits? She has food and water and a cage and hay, but how often should we let her out to run around and such? I’m terribly rabbit-ignorant.

So that’s the big news. I want to take pictures of her, because she’s just lovely. Brown, fading to cream and then white on the belly, with black-tipped hairs and the very top curves of her ears are black. And rabbit ears are funny. They look like cups at the base, like you could pour water in them. Not like cat ears at all. And her paws are so furry! I marvel at her every half-hour or so.

Found a wonderful archive of HP fics and am slowly working through them. Thus far, have found Harry-as-a-cat, a story that made me cry non-stop, and the infamous Tom-in-a-dress story, to mention a few notables. I lurve Harry-as-a-cat and will probably email the authors to squeal once I get a good squeal worked up.
