(no subject)
I am a terrible blogger/fanficcer/etc. because I disappear for such long periods of time with no explanation as to where I've gone. And I know I'm terrible. I do.
I've totally been putting off stuff, too.
Like instead of writing, I say it's because I'm busy (and I am) but I do get free time. I just choose to use it in ways other than writing.
Like since I wrote chapter 71 of 100 steps, I started learning Japanese. In my defense, however, I love Japan, and I kind of feel I have to since I'm going to be transferring to TUJ (Temple University Japan) at some point and I'd like to have some language down before I'm like...living in Tokyo...and stuff.
Oh, and I learned to knit. Really. Instead of writing I learned to knit, which honestly, is something I've wanted to do since the first Harry Potter movie just because I wanted one of those freaking scarves. And now I love it. I can spend hours (like, really, hours) just watching anime and knitting.
Oh, and I cleaned my parents house. And when I say clean, I mean, like...Okay, if you're ever seen Clean House, cleaned like that. Like went through absolutely everything and cleaned that house out and if you knew what my parents house looked like before I cleaned it, you would understand why it took four effing trips and it still isn't fantastic.
And then there's everyday busy. Like sleeping for four hours and getting woken to best friend's mother (since I live with best friend's family) crying about how she wants me to wake up and make her coffee in my coffee pot. This happens because:
A) She doesn't want the coffee pot cluttering up the kitchen
B) She refuses to buy her own coffee pot because she insists they make the coffee taste weird after awhile
and
C) She likes my ground coffee better than her instant coffee.
Seriously. Its annyoing. Plus best friend's mother is so sick and disabled she's going to be on disability for the rest of her life so me and best friend spend most of our days cleaning this house, grocery shopping, making her tea when she can't get out of bed, and doing other various household things. And if she decides she feels like cooking, it all goes crazy because its too exhausting to do on her own.
I have sympathy, really, but sometimes I wish she'd do things she actually can do. Like put her dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Or run the dishwasher.
I know my life has hit a low point because the dishwasher represents all that is evil in the world.
Anyway, the point is, now that the new year has come, best friend has forced me to stop being so stressed about everything and I was forced New Years Resolutions upon me. That's right. I didn't get to make my own New Year's Resolutions. And the first thing best friend says when making New Years Resolutions is "This year you are going to finish your CloudxRiku Kingdom 100 story or you're never allowed to write in it again."
I, sheepishly, agree. Because honestly 30 chapters isn't that many.
But then it hit, like, the end of January and I started to get nervous. Cause I hadn't written anything.
So now I'm blogging to give myself a rest because I have to go and edit not one, but three effing chapters, and throw them all up here on LJ and at fanfiction.net. Cause 30 chapters really isn't that many.
Okay, so it was like 29. Which is even better than 30. But now it's 26 so...yay me!
Off to edit. Cause now that I've finished the Advent Children arc, I need to post.
And I'm happy that's that because those Advent Children chapters were some of the hardest things I've ever had to write.
