Quick Recap of My Life
(I'm not dead, I swear. Just... really, really lazy)
College - I can whine and gripe about being a mere 20 minutes away from home, but this just means that when I inevitably forget something, I can call up the parents and tell them to bring it within a day. Also, they sent me a crab mallet, a bib, and some Old Bay. I think that automatically makes my college better than yours. (Though I am not looking forward to sharing a bathroom with 50+ people. The price of attending a huge university.)
Driving School - I think I might stick to public transportation for the rest of my life. The theoretical was boringly easy, but the actual driving? Not so much. I fear ending up with my right sideview mirror smashed into pieces from a collision with a mailbox because I always, always drive too close to the curb.
Fandom - Rewatched/reread basically everything. (Highlights: Prince of Tennis ending? Kind of really unsatisfying. Also, EYESHIELD 21? KIND OF FANTASTIC, OH MY GOD. ♥♥♥ I REALLY LOVE THIS SERIES. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT, READ IT.) Started/finished Avatar, which is oh my god, so great. I wish it hadn't ended. I wish there was another season. Why isn't there another season. :((( Got sucked into Nabari no Ou. Might get sucked into Code Geass (if Abby has anything to say about it).
Summer - Mostly trapped in my house, except for driving school for two weeks (with Abby!), so even all my RL friends think I'm dead. But this week promises of kidnappings so that I can, you know, socialize (which I'm kind of terrible at). Also, need to buy stuff for dorm and laptop for classes and convince my parents to let me take my computer to school because I really am very attached to my PC.
Today (or Yesterday, rather) - Was basically kidnapped by Susan and Keisha (who actually showed up at my house unannounced, wouldn't tell me where we were going, and dragged me out the door). Kind of embarrassing as I was asleep when they rung the doorbell, but the county fair was fun, the ice cream was delicious (if not horribly overpriced), and BINGO was totally rigged. Totally. Nice to unexpectedly meet up with Soraya at the fair, especially since we were considering kidnapping her when we passed her house on the way. Sushi, Chinese food, Super Smash Bros. All very good things. ♥!
Dark Knight - WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN THIS MOVIE YET? SOMEONE TAKE ME TO SEE IT, PLEASE. :(((
Also, my writing's a little rusty and this is my first attempt at writing in this fandom, but a drabble born from days and days of driving school:
Title: Untitled
Series/Pairings: Hikaru no Go, Hikaru/Akira, car
Notes: PG-13, but really nothing happens at all; very short (like, very very). Mostly for Abby, who suffered through driving school with me (though she's much safer to have on the road than me).
Summary: Hikaru buys a car. It's a good investment.
Hikaru falls in love with a bright yellow Volkswagon Beetle and buys it immediately. He emblazons '555GO' on the license plate and stares at it with pride, petting the hood affectionately. Touya shifts uncomfortably against the passenger door. His lavender suit and pink dress shirt clash horribly with the paint job. Hikaru's fingers twitch.
"Sometimes, I wonder if you're colorblind," Touya says dryly.
"Pot, kettle," Hikaru murmurs absentmindedly, well-used to this argument and pleasantly preoccupied with purring endearments at his car. "Don't listen to him, Go-mobile. He's just jealous you're better dressed."
Touya ignores him and continues, "And you do realize that you don't actually know how to drive."
"Go-mobile has a greater purpose than getting stuck in traffic all the time," Hikaru proclaims, lifting his eyes from the car and finally focuses on Touya.
"Oh?" Touya shifts again, even more uncomfortable under Hikaru's intense gaze. Hikaru prowls forward with a predatory grin spreading across his face.
Later, Touya concedes that the Go-mobile is not a waste of money, and Hikaru is more than satisfied with how the yellow paint job looks against Touya's bare skin.
