Well, school + interview stuff has finally gone and dragged me off LJ completely for weeks at a time. I haven't been on the site much at all since...the second week of January, I think? It really feels like much longer than that. *_*

The end is in sight, though: three more days worth of interviews next week, and then I'm done. After that, there's ( Read more... )

Multitasking:

During the first two hours of this morning, I vacuumed the floor, did skating stretches, and read The Little Prince aloud in its entirety (an attempt to get my French into better shape before school starts), and kept an eye on various tennis matches. Oh, and made a paper snowflake, too...except that it was later dismantled and ( Read more... )

Phone conversation from just now:

Mother: Your grandmother called me this morning. Your cousin -- he's found a boyfriend.
Me: o_O!!
Mother: ...oh, wait, I mean girlfriend.
Me: *trying not to laugh TOO hard*
Me: Awww....if only.
Mother: ...?
Me: Nothing, never mind. ^_ ( Read more... )

The holiday season has come and gone, without my having done anything to celebrate it, or show my appreciation to all of you for too many things to name, really, throughout the span of 2008. This needs to be fixed, somehow. ♥♥♥

So, as per this post from last May:

Give me a prompt, any prompt, and I'll write you something from it?As before, I can ( Read more... )

Tennis in 2009

Look, he has sleeves! And they don't look as odd as I'd feared, either. XD

...It's probably something to do with the bright colors on the shirt and how young they make him seem. You get the impression that he's all fresh and energetic and ready to start a new year. ^_^

Also, there's something about this picture that still makes me ( Read more... )

I actually hadn't been planning to move this story over here anytime soon. Then, all of a sudden, I realized -- there are very few things more fitting to post on a 31st of December. :)

Title: Ghost in the Machine
Word Count: 3,200
Characters: Hinted Inui/Renji, cameos by Rikkai and Seigaku

It's still the 31st here, but probably close to the 2nd in other parts of the world. So...Happy New Year, everyone! ♥♥♥

Decided that it would be more fun to do this meme that the other (more 'life-oriented') 2008 meme that's floating around. ^_^* My final word count certainly turned out to be a pleasant surprise!

( Fics by month... )

Sorry for being missing for the past few days! :P Things haven't exactly been festive (in the traditional sense) here at my house, but, then again, it's kind of hard for them to be, in a place that still has palm trees and thunderstorms at this time of year. It's been busy and hectic, though. And that's close enough for me. ^_ ( Read more... )

After missing the last round of subrosa, I wanted to set up one of these for willow_lotus. If you feel like it, go take a look at the fics there (there aren't that many, and most of them aren't that long ^_^*) and comment here with a guess as to which one I wrote ( Read more... )
