(no subject)
☁ Okay, I know, I've been pretty failboaty about posting lately. In my defense, my brain has been swallowed whole by a freaking bunny that Lish has been encouraging whole heartedly, damn her. XD Between the writing itself and the plotting and the research (Yes, research. ME. The one who once told Tari that the way to know if a fic is not me is if there's research involved, because that's too much damn work. XD) UGH. I'm torn between wanting to work on it just to get it done, and wanting to shove it in a paper shredder and never think about it again. >_<
☁ That being said, sadly, Beyond Good and Evil has been just kind of... chilling in my PS2. Whoops. ^_^;;;
☁ My nail polishes came~ I have so far tried Pandora and Kieko. Kinda on the fence about Pandora still. In most lights it looks pink on me, which is not something I'm thrilled about, to say the least. Ugh. I wasn't sure about Kieko at first either, but I actually really, really like it. :D
☁ Every once in a while, I like to check what Google pulls up on my name. It's really not an ego thing- it's good to keep tabs on that kind of thing. Make sure things aren't being linked to my real name that shouldn't be and whatnot. ^_^; Anyway, this one site pulls up my info- middle initial, (partial) address, and everything... but some of the details are a riot. They have a few basic things right- star sign, race, gender- but I'm also apparently protestant (WTF) and I make 600k a year (*dies laughing* Oh man, in my DREAMS.) Kinda makes me wonder where they get their information from, you know?
☁ Cute Tide commercial- yay for playing with stereotypes! On the other hand, from the same campaign there is also this, which is complete and utter FAIL. Come on, Tide, really?
☁ I found a wine I like! :D Okay, granted, it's kind of cheating because it's more like juice, but TECHNICALLY it's wine. HUMOR ME. It's this stuff- a peach flavored wine. Freaking delicious. And cheap! It also barely has any alcohol in it (8 proof), so... heh.
☁ Before my brain got eaten, I was working on Final Fantasy IV. Kinda hating it right now. The DS version is apparently quite a bit harder than the original, which might explain a couple of battles where I went, "I'm dead. HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN? O_o" Also it irritates the living hell out of me that after Cecil gets turned into a Paladin, he restarts at level ONE. FROM LEVEL THIRTY. Seriously, FFIV? Fuck you. Fuck you with something sharp and pointy. >(
☁ Unbelievably sick. Oh. My. God. There just... there are no words. Faith in the goodness of humanity right now? NEGATIVE INFINITY.
☁ In fandom news: I only have a few more fics to post to AO3 and then I'm ALL CAUGHT UP. I'm waiting a bit for the "wall of Ver-land" (Lish's name for it, which kind of makes me die inside because I was trying to not do that. XD) to subside before I stick those on there. :/ Also! Hikago fandom is apparently staging a coup on AO3. We are officially beating both Sailor Moon and InuYasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale. :D :D :D :D Which is freaking awesome and will never happen anywhere except AO3, seriously. XD Banners and stuff here. We're not really aiming for #1 in Anime/Manga, because let's get real here, but... we've now broken the top 15, so maybe... 10? :D That would be amaaaaazing for our teeny tiny fandom.
☁ Kiiiiinda thinking I may have to suck it up and go to the dentist instead of Japan. (Let's just say... pain has been something of an issue lately.) Which makes me sadface and it SUCKS, because OF COURSE something like a once in a lifetime trip can't happen for me, because OF COURSE something else has to come up. UGH. On the upside, if I do end up HAVING to go to the dentist... I will get my god damn teeth fixed and it will stop being a major source of embarrassment. SO. As much as it would SUCK to not be able to go... I can't bring myself to see this as a =complete= disappointment, you know what I mean? At least I would be getting something positive out of it. Minus the paralyzing fear and the anxiousness and shame and all of that. Which... I probably won't. Bleh. I feel sick just thinking about it. And before anybody says anything, no, I can't do both. The fact is that I'm poor, and getting my teeth taken care of will cost me a not so small fortune. Sooooo yeah. :(
☁ I'm trying to not end this on a negative note, so... good news: it's supposed to be actually really nice for my days off! :D Might go do stuff. Or at least go to the library for a change of pace or something. ^_^
