Halp halp RL eating me alive

[edmondia]

MWF and MW classes start tomorrow, the two classes I'm taking have already started, I have the contract in hand for the Nat U class but no access, and the Friday and online class are trundling slowly along

eee. am spiralwaves over on tumblr.

welcome to the beginning of the school year. what're you taking?

[edmondia]

I am really quite annoyed by the lack of convenient commenting feature on tumblr!

Blech. MWF class is gonna suck even though I designed it for awesome. Am taking... stuff about rhet/comp. Teaching College Writing and Advanced Argumentative Writing (I had to look those up). Mostly it's talking theory and practice and doing research and stuff.

tumblr is not meant for having conversations and discussions; it's more of a wide-open echo chamber. that said, look up 'disqus.'

I went there because so many people I like are there, and yet am all :/ about using it. I will indeed look up this thing! ...when I have time.

arg, everyone i know is on tumblr. i haven't yet made the plunge. but the tagging system is appealing for the same reason ao3's tagging system works.
also there is a proliferation of lokiness. so. there is that.

i am dead in calculus, haaaalp. it's teaming up with physics and face stomping me.

what sort of fic would you like to write? i got so feeling-sploded from kh i can't manage much.

[edmondia]

I... really don't like it very much? I mean it's full of pretty things, yes, but there doesn't seem to be an efficient way to talk to people, and I haven't quite figured out how it works yet. But it's so very pretty and the tags are lolarious.

I am sorry about calc and physics, but I am an English professor and cannot help. You would want to talk to my brother, who is in fact a math professor, about such things.

There are a couple of them! One of them is a sugar-sweet KH fic taking place during the ending of Dream Drop Distance in which there is some talking over things and a lot of cuddling (because the game itself didn't have enough Sora-and-Riku fluff, apparently), the other is the Thor AU fic, and the other other in a distant third is more work on the Beyond the Ocean Beach series (though the Dream Drop Distance fic would also count as part of that series, come to think of it).

yes, it is mostly for teh pretty. But i like the idea of being able to track tags and find shininess that way. (and yes loltags as well)

It's okay, i was mostly moping about the fact that I have physics at nine am. #things that should not be allowed

yes that was one of my thoughts "wow this game ships Riku/Sora really hard". I mean in between all of the "what is that and WAIT WHAT JUST HAPPENED stop murdering me xemnas" I...mostly need to type things. I have the beginning of that ridiculous slapstick angst khthor thing typed! I might post it later.

I think I just need to figure out more of how it works.

Pff, I have my eight am class three times a week and it takes me a half hour to drive there.

Yes, yes it does. But the whole series does, really, this is just the... most blatant it's been since they're actually around each other for the whole game for once, more or less. I keep accidentally walking Sora into the cutscene that leads to his end of the story and having to beat the end bosses all over again so I can keep playing around and gathering more cuddly adorable dream eaters.

That being said it is incredibly satisfying to smack Ansem and Xehanort in the face with darkness. "Oh, you wanted to hit me? DARK SPLICER TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, BITCH!"
