Generally speaking, you can find me on my InsaneJournal. :P I'm just a possessive bint and don't want anyone else to have this username. Booyah. xD

So. My dearest imouto-chan is complaining of my non-update-y-ness again, so here we go.

Am likely to be busy all month, as I accepted a write/post a thing-a-day thing over on LJ. Woo. Have so far hit three updates, am.. hoping to have this *pokes Jarte* done in time for today. Of course, I could always write a quick drabble for today and put this on up tomorrow. I dunno. We'll have to see how far I can get on it before I get too tired to write coherently, LOL. But it just keeps going and going and going - it's about 3K words and MAYBE half done. Maybe. xD This thing may just end up stealing the title for "longest fic Myuu's ever written" xD

But seriously. Am having fun with it because I'm experimenting with a pairing I've never done before - Lucius/Harry. Am also having fun because, well.. Lucius is a romantic bugger, it seems. Sending flowers all to Harry! xD Also, this site is so going in my favourites. Kukuku.

Hmm.. In other news, still haven't gotten a rejection/acceptance letter from Strange Horizons.. may have to query. I'll give it til the end of the month. :D

What else... hmmmm... *shrug*

My imouto-chan, being the impatient person she is, complains of no one updating their Xanga. Thus, I am being ever so obliging and updating. :P

I am.. amusing myself with this. I've already gained inspiration for a YGO Puppyshipping fic. (Actually, the generator gave me this "The story begins with a bubble bath, and ends with whimpering or sobbing. It features an aristocrat and a puppy, but the overall narrative features alpha/alpha male pairings," and I was all "Oh. Hello, Puppyshipping." xD Of course, it won't follow that exactly, but near enough as no beans. >.>)

This is awesome. It amuses me that I know what most of that is... and have read a lot of it, too. (I don't know what "schmoop" is, though; honestly not sure I WANT to..) Totally begs to inspire any number of fic, original or otherwise. xD

In other news, I have finally seen Pirates of the Caribbean. And.. I'm probably the only one for whom this is true, but the whole WillElizabeth just.. totally flew over my head. It's like.. "where'd that come from?" But Jack is absolute love. The world has discovered another Depp fan, yo. Am so stealing some of his lines for away messages and signatures. :D

Am.. bored. Dunno. This enough of a post for you, imouto-chan? xD

Figured I'd update, even though I'm oddly favouring my LJ right now. Oh well. LJs being an ass, and anyway most of my muttering over there involves writing, in one way or another.

Today's my dad's birthday, w00t. I believe I mentioned drawing a pic for him, right? Well, it turned out bloody awesome. I wish I had a scanner so I could show it you all. *le sigh* Ah well.

Am having a blast with this RP which I can so totally make a story out of. :D Stefan is growing on me, and fun to write, though I'll be able to keep him more "in character" as I see him when I write it out as a story. Hehe. Leb.. he changes moods like mad. O.o; Though I guess that impression is partially the lack of dividers and clear-cut scene changes, as well as RP being a mode lacking in ability to describe clearly. *shrug* Anyway, when I write it out, I can play with it more, lol.

Gwuh so tired. *stayed up all night xD* But it was cool.

Everyone I know, pretty much, has been on a DH kick the past few days. Some don't mind the straightness of the ending too much, others are screeching bloody murder about that. But whether they're het shippers, or slash shippers, the consensus on the epilogue seems to be "Utter CRAP!" ...Robin having just sent me it, I totally agree. What the hell was that?! That was.. blaaargh. I love how you can describe things exactly the way I feel about them, imouto-chan.

Haate the ending of DH already. Is the rest of DH anywhere near that bad? T.T

.. *sweatdrop* Really didn't need that mental image. I know "senshi" means warrior, or soldier and all.. but.. every time I see it I automatically think "Sailor Moon!" And when you're reading an Inuyasha fic.. you end up with Inuyasha in a seifuku.

So weird...

Today - or, rather, yesterday - was meh-ish. RPed with imouto-chan, as is pretty much a constant. Read, as usual. Other than that.. eh. Nothin really.

I got this urge to look at my FictionPress account earlier, and I went all O_o when I realized that I hadn't updated my bio since, er, 2005. I've remedied that now, though. Haha. It's a bit disconcerting to re-read something that's several years old and realize it's one of the best things you've ever written. (Don't Dream) It's a shame most publishers don't like pre-published works, because I'd LOVE to see that get published. (And yes, stuff on a site like FP counts as pre-published.) Maybe someday, after I've gotten more recognition or something, I'll publish a book of short stories. ^_^

In keeping with the "let's reread Myuu's old works!" mood that got me into, I've been looking over my old fanfic, and have realized that some of them aren't as bad as I moan and gripe about. Others.. are as bad as I intimate. >.> Do you know, I've only ever written ONE genfic? Hahaha. The rest are all romance, and no few of them are deathfics. So weird~ Deathfic and futurefic seem to be obsessions of mine, and I don't know why because anyone who knows me knows I'm a freaking HOPE:ESS romantic. (It'd be two genfic if I thought that Hitchhiker's Guide/Naruto crack!drabble counted. xD)

Another thing - my deathfic seem to get the most reviews. *sweatdrop* Why?! Do these people think I like killing off favorite characters? I don't! It's just the way the stories come! Butbutbut~

...you know, I still have chaptered works from several years ago that I've never finished, and never intend to? >.>

Hm. That one has the basis of an.. interesting, if typical and overused plot. It is in need of MASSIVE rewriting, though. *sigh*

...what the fuck was I on when I wrote that disclaimer.. *sweatdrop*

Gruh. I used have such an immature writing style.. and my ANs used to be uber obnoxious. T_T I need more fic I know I've written well up there to make up for the horrid travesties I used to write. Though.. about half of them are pretty decent.. but still. xD Even the decent ones could use some editing and rewriting..

Maa.. And now that my spate of rereading is almost through, I -still- have a drawing to do. >.>

One of these days I'm gonna have a fucking heart attack when the internet redials itself o.O

Okay, that one was fucked. Horrid. *pouts* And it's set to such a pretty song, too.

*snickers a moment later* I still like that one, though. There's just something about it that gets me every time. xD

Aaand. Okay. Have spent the last 3, 4 hours re-reading my old works, which adds up to.. Hm.. maybe 20K words? Dunno. And I'm done. xD It's kinda fun seeing my writing fluctuate, but mostly get better. Now to focus on original works and getting money for soing something I have so much fun doing.. kyahahahaha. :D

My day has been.. mildly productive. Or perhaps totally wasted. Depends on your perspective, I guess.

My dad spent most of today updating his Windows, so no one else was online.

I spent most of today playing Diablo II, and am rather satisfied with my progress. I'm on the last quest in the first story arc, and am.. not that far from final boss for the first part. (Andariel. xD) I think I'm too used to playing uber-modded Diablo II, because I keep freaking and going "must PL before I kill so-and-so" but.. mostly it's not necessary. I've only died.. hm.. maybe 3, 4 times total? And two of those deaths are due to lightning enchanted heroes, which are HELLA annoying. Even the mini-bosses I remember being hard (like Blood Raven and the Smith) were pretty easy.

The one mod I -wish- I had is the one that gives your stash like 50 pages. (Mine's getting crowded xD) As it stands, I'm really looking forward to the Horadric Cube quest in the next story arc - it's not so much the added room it gives you as the fact that you can take three gems and make a more refined version of that gem. Or three rejuvination potions and make a full rejuv. Or.. and so on and so forth. It'll be nice cuz those are mostly what's taking up all the room. (And the fact that refined gems = better effects has -nothing- to do with it. xD)

Of course, it may not be the most effective of play styles to focus only on the Ice skills.. xDD But you get good attecks, and shielding. Only thing I might want from the Lightning skills is the Energy Shield (attacks hurt your mana instead of health), and Warmth (faster mana regen) is the best thing from the Fire skills. My opinion, anyway.

So it was kinda fun. And maybe productive. Maybe I should've spent the day reading The Book of the Dead instead, though. *shrug* I dunno.

I had a salad for breakfast. MM. x3 Am eating pudding right now.. Meh.

And for the uninformed, "PL" means "power level(ing)". Just so, y'know, you're not too confused.

*collapses* Tadaima... *faintly*

My legs, especially my hips, are dead. We went to the store today, and we only got home around 10 or something. So. Yeah. I bought a book, but I'm not sure how good it is yet. (Truthfully, I bought it mostly because an Egyptian curse is supposedly involved somewhere. ..Urusai yo, imouto-chan. xD)

No real news other than that. Except I keep getting this urge to be goth-y. Dude I need hooker boots and fishnet gloves. (Yes, I'm a freak. Shut up. xD)

I do have a question for the world at large, though: what the HELL has happened to training bras?! We looked in the girls' section at Freddies (as in the section for girls up to 12) and most of the bras they had there were.. ridiculous. I don't know many twelve year olds that need B cups. Or support. Or enhancement of their size. Like what the hell. (I might've budded a bit early, but I was an A until 13 or 14. O.o) Sooo instead of relying on the so-called girls' section, we went over to the Women's and got my sister a 32A from there. It's a sad thing when that works better. o.o (This really is ridiculous. I was wearing training bras like 6, 7 years ago, it's severely disconcerting how much crap changes that fast.)

I.. am horridly tired, will be sleeping soon. Wheeeeeeeeee. See you tomorrow-- *looks at time* --er, later today, imouto-chan.

W00t and it's me again~~

Wouldja lookit this, I appear to have gained some weird inspiration for posting at least weekly. Huh.

So, my older brother's home again. My siblings went totally spare last night when he came in. Ah well.

Not much to say, really, except omgg Semerkhet~ (I should draw him. Whatcha think, imouto-chan? xD)

Also that I'm having a blast torturing Kalyan. Huhuhu. Must work on that one more.. xD

What should I dooo..

WARK I'm a chocobo!

Wow. Just.. wow. 'Blade's fiction is.. ungodly good. Just finished reading a novel-legnth piece of original fiction by her, and DAYUM. Omg. I heart it SOO soo much.

(I would willingly shell out $20 for a hardback copy of it, if that tells you how good it is imo.)

Though since it seems only imouto-chan reads this, I'm sure I don't really -need- to be rambling on about my utter love of House of Winds still more.. But.. I want to! It's so.. gooooooooooooood! I think I'll be rereading it a lot! <3

In other news.. it got OMG SO FREAKING HOT TODAY. Ugh. I seriously thought I was gonna melt for real a few times.. x.x it got up to 98 degrees before cooling down - finally. Now it's sitting at 84 degrees, and it's almost sad how COOL it seems compare to earlier. Aah, what a difference 14 degrees makes..

(And I've realized that I'm insane for wanting to become an archaeologist to go on digs in Egypt when it gets so hot there all the time. xDD Oh well.)

And now.. I'm gonna go medicate my heat-and-reading-small-font-induced headache. Baibai~
