Why are we stashing US troops in Australia? To have an increased presence in the area/places to threaten North Korea and China from? Isn't that what Okinawa - y'know, the large chunk of Japan that we pretty much own - is for?

Can we NOT go to war with China? That would be awesome, guys.

This is where I shall be keeping track of all the cool things (material and immaterial, intended for me and coincidental) that I got this year! So I don't forget later, and so I can look back and see how lucky I am to have such great friends + family. ^_^

First order of business: I need a beta reader, stat. I'm writing a non-Disney Sleeping Beauty/Sun, Moon, and Talia adaptation that features a female Prince Charming. It's still very much a work-in-progress, but any prompt feedback would be super awesome and I'd totally love you forever. Seriously. I would like...write you non-FF fanfiction, or make ( Read more... )

I promise. xD I know I've been super-flaky recently, so I'm terribly sorry if you messaged me or something and I never responded or whatever. September is just not my month, what with school and the air conspiring to murder me and all ( Read more... )

Started school last week, and it's been pretty good so far. I only have class twice a week, from 9:30 am to 5:15 pm. Three lit classes (Critical Approaches to Literature, English Lit II, and Gender Issues in Language and Lit), one philosophy class, and my Advanced Writing: Fiction class. The first lit class and the philosophy class suck, but the ( Read more... )

Me: (going to bed) Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Aaron: I'll do everything you wouldn't do.
Me: Uh...there's a lot I wouldn't do...
Aaron: Yup. I'm gonna smuggle a chicken to Norway, kiss it, and then swim home.
Me: ...
Aaron: You wouldn't do any of that.
Me: ...No, no I wouldn't.

 So Missouri just passed a bill stating that teachers cannot have students or former students (regardless of age) as Facebook friends.

My high school art teacher happens to be one of my favorite people on the planet, and the main way we stay in touch is through FB.

I'm so fucking pissed about this. How dare the fucking government try to limit who ( Read more... )

Was looking for games to sell in order to get some cash together for the new Sailor Moon manga, and decided to price-quote some of my PSX games to Amazon. They were worth like a couple bucks a piece (FFVII was worth like 7-8, but my copy's in pretty rough shape, sadly)...and then I found Tales of Destiny II, which I honestly forgot I had ( Read more... )

Contest entries are done, all three of them! *punches air* I feel accomplished. ^^ Holy crap am I happy with my icon set. <3 Feeling much better about my entries all around this time, so hopefully I can place a little better.

Other things on the to-do list (no particular order):

1. Write Z's request fic! (Wish I could have had it done for her ( Read more... )

I don't know what's with me lately. I've been almost completely unmotivated to do, well, anything at all. Even fun things! I haven't written more than 500 words for Chapter 3 of HR, I half-assed my ffland contest entries (though the contests these past two weeks were kinda meh, so that's probably not all me), I haven't wanted to play games or read ( Read more... )
