So it's been a while since I've updated. I guess it's because I've found other places to put my writing ramblings and fangirl squeals, so I guess I just update now whenever I have something normal to say. & also, I have a lot of other things to do (both leisure and non-leisure) that distract me from the internet and the time it would take me update ( Read more... )

The relatives have arrived. Which means it's a hell of a lot harder to be a hermit, & I can't spend hours at a time playing Final Fantasy VIII, & I can't be holed up in my room. But thankfully I got myself out of participating in the production of "The Nutcracker" that three of my cousins are rehearsing upstairs at the moment. & all I had to do was ( Read more... )

This is total win. I think I need to re-read Pride & Prejudice again without having to worry about doing badly on quizzes. Maybe then I'll enjoy it more. (I also want to re-read To The Lighthouse. & Brave New World, which I already re-read once this summer. Why do I have sudden Brit Lit urges? THERE ARE NO URGES!)

We have our Christmas tree up now. ( Read more... )

Yesterday I exchanged the second video camera that I got for my birthday for my own digital camera so that I don't have to steal my mum's all the time. It is a pink Kodak Easy Share & it is very pretty. So in celebration, here's a picture of a drawing of two of my characters that I did about a month ago.

This week has thus far been dominated by three things: (1) the awesomeness of Organization XIII, (2) learning things about by characters, and (3) the fact that I can function perfectly well with only having six hours of sleep. Oh, and how I'm suddenly becoming inundated by plot bunnies, which is a result of all of the above. I've also written ( Read more... )

I came across a Kingdom Hearts fanfic that is quite possibly up there with The Shoebox Project as Best Fanfiction Ever. It's an Organization XIII fic, showing how the Nobodies of the six apprentices of Ansem the Wise ended up in The World That Never Was, how they form the Organization, and their discovery of Twilight Town and their recruitment of ( Read more... )

So today in honor of my birthday I was going to make a list of 17 Reasons Why It's Awesome To Be 17, but I could only think of ten and most of them consisted of "[insert character here] was 17 when [insert action here happened]." So yeah. (Though for the record, I'm now the same age as [1] Harry Potter when he defeated Voldemort [2] Yuna and Tidus ( Read more... )

Spent part of today downloading (in a technically illegal fashion, but shh) some more geek!music. The best find of the day? An alternate version of "One-Winged Angel" that appears in "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" that combines Ominous Latin Chanting and electric guitar. It is so incredibly AWESOME. It also has different lyrics from the ( Read more... )

This is the first time since Sunday that I've had time to go online that's not doing homework on my mum's computer. This week has been so GAAAH, what with lab reports and essays and research and having to stay late at school because my mum's been working. I'm so glad it's the weekend. Although Sunday is pretty much used up; I have to be a tour ( Read more... )
