Just finished a new FMA one-shot, a romantic/angsty fic for Gracia remembering Hughes. Considering that I don't normally write romance, I think it went decently well.It's Valentine's Day. I do not have a valentine. This would normally sadden me, except that it really doesn't. Someday, I'll have a special someone... or I'll wind up a shrivelled old ( Read more... )

Since I haven't done one for awhile, and it actually seemed quite close/funny...

Huzzah! :)

The very day after I complain about not having a job, I've received a possible position of employment with the state. I am cautioned, of course, that this is a lead and not an offer of employment... but it's the same job that Wayne had to turn down a few months back, so if they're still looking for someone... It might be a chance worth taking ( Read more... )

By sheer coincidence (hah!), Exeter's well-wishing came true this time. Dad's decided to accept the job, which is good, and in the meantime (during all of the moving/relocating/resettling/etc.) his church has waived his responsibility for preaching anything except the Sunday morning service. This is also good, because it means that I can join him ( Read more... )

Dad has raised the possibility of moving to Fort Leonardwood (he was offered a job there,) and taking my brother and myself there. Now, moving's absolutely nothing new to me: I've been doing so for some time now, after all. But... It's quite sudden, and he's going to be deciding by tomorrow morning.

On the one hand, it seems like a good idea. I ( Read more... )

So... Where I live, at about this time of year, there's a tradition (now in its third year,) that the World League Wrestling federation comes in and puts on a show. I missed the first one (not having been there for it,) but I did like what I saw in the second ( Read more... )

Full Metal Alchemist. Wayne disagrees with me, but I think that it's a great fandom to be in. It's got clearly-defined rules in its canon, and yet, it's got almost limitless possibilities. It's got a large cast of characters, many of which are incredibly well-detailed and some are downright likable, and which are realistic without (for the most ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I spent quite a bit of the day listening a gospel trio: called the "Lesters." They were surprisingly good: remarkably active, for singers, and all three of them were very talented. Perhaps the best part about their singing, though, is their harmony: they just sound really good together. They sang some great songs, both old and new (the ' ( Read more... )

[Personal Ramblings]Third chapter of the Full Metal Alchemist fic is shaping up nicely. I'm a bit worried about the quantity of new characters, but I think that they'll fit in well (and be well-received.) I'm trying my hardest to avoid the stigma of 'Mary Sue Writer,' but... it's such a nebulous term. It worries me.[/Personal Ramblings ( Read more... )

It would appear that I'm actually easing the rust from my lack of fanfiction writing (it's been... years? O_O) with the Full Metal Alchemist story. Chapter 2's done and waiting for Wayne to beta-read, which is good for two reasons ( Read more... )
