Projects.
Things That I Want To Do:
• Hitachiin drabble/oneshot?
• Be awesome and perfect the art of using my [Wacom] [Intuos] [6x8] tablet. XD And really, 6x8 is big enough. It's almost too bulky for me, but it fits perfectly on top of my laptop.
• The Idiot's Fanfic Guide To Common Spelling Errors
This is the rough draft... without the spiffy fanfic bits. Believe it or not, all of the words found here (or at least one of the pair) were found while reading fanfic, and were misused as the other meaning/spelling in the pair/triplet. I wasn't planning on doing something like this, but DAMN, do those people need it. Most of the descriptions/usages won't be the same in the final version... it's just there to hold the spot in the meantime. Also, some of the words have to be more specific and detailed for younger audiences.
CLOTHES and CLOTHS
You wear CLOTHES, you clean with CLOTHS.
EXERCISE and EXORCISE
Swimming is EXERCISE, you EXORCISE a demon.
YOU'RE and YOUR
YOU'RE a person, YOUR dog is not.
WASTE and WAIST
You WASTE your time, you put a belt around your WAIST.
LOSE and LOOSE and LOSS
When you LOSE weight, your clothes are LOOSE and you suffer money LOSS getting new ones.
SEW and SOW
You SEW clothes, a SOW is a female pig, but to SOW is to plant seeds.
SILVER and SLIVER
SILVER is a color, a SLIVER is a sharp fragment that can cut you.
BEAR and BARE
You can BEAR pain from being clawed by a BEAR, and you can BARE some skin when treating the wounds. :P
PETAL and PEDAL
Flowers have PETALS, bicycles have PEDALS.
FRIENDS and FRIEND'S
If you take your FRIEND'S car, you may have less FRIENDS.
PRINCIPLE and PRINCIPAL
A PRINCIPAL of a school should have good PRINCIPLES.
CARTOONS and CARTONS
CARTOONS are what you watch, and CARTONS are what eggs go in.
INSIGHT and INCITE
A philosopher usually has good INSIGHT, while terrorists INCITE panic.
SITE and SIGHT and CITE
A SITE is a place, SIGHT is what you see, and CITE is how you give people credit for their work.
BREAK and BRAKE
When you BREAK your windshield, you should step on the BRAKES.
VEIN and VANE and VAIN
A VEIN has something running through it, a weather VANE is a flat, wide object that is moved in a circular motion by air, and a VAIN man is full of himself.
REIN and REIGN
A king REIGNS over his country, you keep a REIN on your temper, or hold a horse's REINS.
IDLE and IDOL
If you're IDLE, you're not doing anything; if you're an IDOL, you're famous...congratulations.
FAZE and PHASE
You go through a PHASE, to PHASE out means to slowly get rid of something, if someone isn't FAZED, then they're not bothered.
PEEK and PEAK and PIQUE
You PEEK into a room, a mountain's PEAK is at the top, when you PIQUE someone's curiosity they usually become curious enough to bug you about it.
WARY and WEARY
If you are WARY of dogs, you are cautious; if you are WEARY, then you are tired.
TAUT and TAUGHT
My music teacher TAUGHT me to keep my guitar strings TAUT... or else.
GALLON and GALLEON
A GALLON of milk, a GALLEON is a ship.
PEEL and PEAL
You can PEEL an apple and throw away the PEEL, but a doorbell and a laugh can PEAL.
AFFECT and EFFECT
To AFFECT someone is to have an influence on that person, and it's a verb! An EFFECT is the result of something, and is a noun! :D
DESERT and DESSERT
A DESERT is filled with sand and bugs, a DESSERT is usually tasty and sweet.
TINT and TAINT
A TINT is a little bit of something mixed in with something else, like food coloring in water, a TAINT is negative and usually means that whatever is mixed in has ruined the other thing, like how mold grows on bread.
AIDE and AID
An AIDE is a person who helps, to AID someone is to help them, and an AID is something that helps.
DISCREET and DISCRETE (even I didn't know the meaning of the second)
To be DISCREET is to keep quiet about or not be obvious about something, a bridge made of legos is composed of several DISCRETE, separate parts.

• Vacuum, ramen, clean room, organize crap, disinfect.
