  I finally finished the htmlizing and chapter-naming for the Costly Gain story. I also upped it:

Drifting Still - Micah's sister moves back to town, and the balance game gets a bit stickier. With work, lessons, and seminars to wade through, why not add another complication? Their situation keeps evolving but it's almost like they're standing still, drifting in a lazy current that you can't stop and never stays quite the same.

So there we go.

  I just wanted to share a compliment I got tonight that I can't help but grin about. Niko has a friend who's going through and reviewing "Above You", did the first 3 chapters. It's nice to get that in depth a look at each chapter, going over some of the details and the like.

Anyway, her comment was:

And I tell you a rather drastic and very startling difference from the boys that you painted in City. I'm pleasantly pleased with your about face on that account actually. I love both portrayals, but you do both so masterfully. I'm glad to be able to say that it's hard to imagine that the same person can write such different personalities in two different series, save for the fact that your writing style is so distinct, it really can't be anyone but the same...hmm, looking back, I can't decipher if that will come off as an insult or compliment, so read it as a compliment yes?

It's nice to know that I'm succeeding in making the personalities different. I try to keep from repeating the same thing, and considering the commentary there ~points above~ each character I write is separate from the others.

It's kinda funny, because it's almost like each of my stories is in its own drawer. When I write the first few lines of any story, the first paragraph or the first page, my mind connects all the plot and characters to those words. Usually, I can come back to a story I started years before, read what I have written for it, and remember exactly what I planned. It's like I folded all the information up and tucked it into one drawer. I can pull it out almost at will, so I can use the same characters but have them different.

I also tend to...I want to say "feel"...the personalities I'm using. I can almost explore their minds as if I were a mind reader or something. I understand enough of psychology that I can usually fish around and get something at least remotely believable, and the rest of it--well, it IS fiction.

in my fanfics, the funny thing is that when I'm writing one story, I can't grab the others. She mentions City (In the City at Night) and I get a vague impression of Duo with his hair over his shoulder in a white t-shirt, looking up at someone in mild irritation, plus the idea of the plot and where I went with it...flashes of the various characters in what I have, and the ideas I'm getting for later. {I keep getting flashes of Xane from that story. Bits of him on a vid screen with a city behind him, a grin, and dangerous information--it hasn't gotten more yet, it'll probably end up being one of my next focuses}

Anyway, in my fanfics, I do try to keep from repeating myself. I mean, I have a few little things that carry over that are just parts of ME--things I can't help but add in--but I try to keep the stories and characters from being in one mold.

Anyway, enough rambling. I could probably go on to dissect a lot more of my own thoughts and feelings that the characters go through, but I don't feel the particular need...for now. haha!

so...wow   
12:00pm 02/06/2009
  lol, me and Teresa have been talking about the calorie cutting to diet, right? Well, i need to cut 777 calories a day and i was putting it off because i knew it'd hurt *grins* but I'm starting today to see what my norm is.

there were more calories in my 2 cups of coffee than in my breakfast. Granted, my breakfast was 2 pieces of toast...but they had strawberry cream cheese.

I'm thinking i need to just drop caffeine again. I only really started back on it because I'd been off it and getting up early in the morning is hard on my system. I believe in my sleep, I reallyreally do.

Anyway, I can't cut caffeine here, I'm at Teresa's, and she doesn't have anything non-caffeinated to drink but water, and their tap is icky for being city; and their fridge filter should have been changed in like...02.

I'll think about if I'm doing it now or not. i tend to drink water when i have the caffeine headache so yeah.

bah, i ended up adding too much sugar to my coffee this morning and it's upsetting my stomach. rarr.

  I finished writing the second story of Chance or Circumstance a night or two ago. At this point I only have the prologue up, but it won't take me long to get the rest going.

So here we go:
Attempted Bystanding - Expectation rules reaction, and you can't help but bend to that will.
 
     

now

 
well...   
08:53pm 10/05/2009
  yesterday was an exciting day.

I don't think I'd written about it here, but a month or so ago I had my front 3 teeth pulled. After some scrambling, Kat let me know that her parents were willing to pay for the partial for me on a long loan. I'd gone in a couple times to get imprints. Yesterday, we had the appointment to get the thing.

So here we go. )

The only problem is that it makes my gums ache around where the anchors are. At this point they're a little long because we're waiting for my gums to heal up totally from where they'd been pulled. I've mostly figured out how to talk around it, there are a few little instances--so tuesday i want to talk to the guy about a few things that i'm not sure if should be how they are. hopefully i can get that much done, and then when the times comes, it'll be even better when the 6 months is up.

i'm irritated right now, because my nose is still running...and every now and then stuff ends up in my throat where it makes me gag. it's this...itch....

so i need some patience to get through some stuff right now, but at least i can smile, huh? not that i didn't before, but...

holy marathon...   
10:49pm 01/05/2009
  I upped ALL my stories on brinkster properly. I hadn't had them all up before. Breaking Point is half-assed, but it's also 88 chapters, so it can remain half-assed.

so yes.

well, today...was a day.   
08:33pm 27/04/2009
  so, let's get this party started, huh?

I woke up well before my alarm for no evident reason.

I got up, got showered, got ready, and got a text from kim saying that her dishwasher had caught fire...then got picked up by Kat to head to P-town to drop her aunt off at the airport.

We ate at a thai restaurant that had this nummy chicken stuff.

I was right at the airport. Ha! (only because of an unforeseen instance, but shh, Kat already knows that lol)

we hit the bookstore Powell's. It was the biggest in the united states until some twinkie place got converted. They have a TON of japanese stuff in it and I found something that makes me laugh even now.



That's the outer-covers of the series "The Mallorean" by David Eddings--in Japanese. I wanted them very badly, but they're $7 apiece.

Ah well, life goes on.

Anyway, that's when the depressing news came to me. My sister's neighbor, who was in the car accident, etc--well, her husband was taken to the hospital a couple nights ago, ended up having a heart attack...and he passed away today around noon.

so now i'm home and organized and i burned off my pics, etc, to clear up more room on this computer.

so that's my day. take it or leave it. ~amused look~ I don't claim it was good, but I can't say it was bad.

And now, to end.

09:21pm 20/04/2009
 
mood: hopeful
So...let's see. I may start going swimming on the weekends--there's a chance, we'll see how it pans out. that was just an interesting note...

what else?

Well, Chris is talking about joining the army or the airforce. His graduation is on June 4.

Also, my cousin is getting married on June 20th and my Gramma is supposed to come down for it. that will be nice if it pans out.

hm...then going a little further afield, lol, miyavi let the company he'd been in and created his own. He's married and the wife is going to have their baby this summer. i'm hoping he comes more state-side now, because it'd be great to see him in concert. --and speaking of concerts, on July 21st Hyde (Vamps) are going to be in Portland for $30 a ticket. I need to get one for me and Kat if i can manage it and am going to be here. If not, Vamps are gonna be in Vegas later in the month so maybe i'll get lucky. Then...looking around...i found out that Gackt had released more music. Like 2 singles so far as i can tell, so I checked them out on youtube. i needs to get elebinty billion dollars so i can buy this shit, i tell you...

And then we come to the bouncy thing that's called "half blood prince" *laughs* it's released on July 15, i believe, so it's now time to relisten to the audio ~points at it~ i borrowed it from sister-dear.

And then the thing that is making me smile and want to cry at the same time.

I have a picture of my dad.



wasn't he handsome? that's at honeymon park, and I just took a pic of the pic with my camera so the quality is so-so, but still...

02:44am 05/04/2009
  It was a dark night, you know? my mom and her boyfriend richard were up in her room, and I'd gone up. I was looking out that window at the moonlit darkness. I remember feeling so helpless and confused...just looking out the window.

I don't remember if I started crying at the time or not...but I remember what I said when my mom said something to me.

Why do people have to die?

I don't care how simple the answer really is...but why did my dad die? Why him, out of the thousands of millions of people on this planet. why was HE the unlucky one?

today is the 5th, right?

5 days.

And really, before midnight it was the 6 days wasn't it. *laughs*

Six!

i love this time of year...and i hate it. i love seeing the stars in the sky, watching the moon...but I can't help it. there are nights when it just occurs to me "in 5 days it's been 21 years. In 5 days, if that loss was a baby, it could go get as drunk as I want to right now."

And the funny thing, really? i just had a pretty good day. sat around watching bleach and talking to my sister. i went and got more episodes to watch...figured i should sleep...and then that one notion. That damn count. 5 days.

It's nice to cry, to be able to sob just like the 7 year old you were and not have to worry about anyone hearing you, knowing no one will come in and try to comfort your...though, I think Teresa would get it.

I'm going to bed. I may or may not end up feeling chatty tomorrow, I couldn't say.
 
     

now

 
so...I'm confused.   
07:11pm 02/04/2009
  My IE8 won't load, and it's retarded, right? It's trying to say a basic WINDOWS operating THING that has NOTHING to do WITH the browser is an add-on and it can't load it or turn it off without fucking up. (I seriously don't give a shit about everyone who'll jump on me and point out that windows/microsoft are shit, don't do it.) So I joined the Roxio communities for help, it's the DLA that I'm referring to as an issue, and in my post I specifically said:

Does anyone have any idea what to do about this? (and I don't mean the kind of help that says to use a different browser)

and got as the first response:

I don't have an answer as to what is happening but would suggest you use another browser such as Firefox.

I'm using firefox. I don't LIKE firefox...I don't like Chrome...and I'm not really up to fucking with other browsers. I just want my IE to work. I'm gonna try to roll it back to 7 in a bit and see if that may help...but seriously.

~sighs and wanders~

06:44pm 27/03/2009
  For starters, I woke up coughing a bit--not too much. I figured it was the layover from smoking last Friday, you know? I had a clove...figured this coughing was my body clearing the last of it out...but it just wasn't going away. Then i started noticing that my phone really needed charged, so i dug around a bit and huh...no charger. I dug deeper and no, still none...ended up looking high and low over everything to come up with nothing and txted my nephew to see if he could drop it off today on his way to work. He still hasn't txted me back, not that it matters, because at this point my phone can't even turn on, and I'm not going to albany today, unlike normal.

So sweet, dead phone, how pointless...

I was playing KH for a long while, and realized I was feeling kinda shitty. By this point, since it'd been most of the day, I figured I'd come down with some stupid flu thing...but it was getting worse, meaning my stomach was upset. I took a quick pull of pepto and went to lay down and after a while i realized that...I was in my jeans and T, had ALL my bedding on me, which has been a bit much for the last few nights...and I was still cold. i wandered down here and took my temp, which was 99.7 (37.62c). My normal temp is 97.9 (36.62c)...that's about 2 degrees, so a mild fever. I took some dayquill, which is a cough suppressant and a fever reducer and laid down again.

So, to cut down the rambling blow-by-blow (even though it amuses me) I took the dayquil at 5:15, right? So by 6:10 my fever should have been reduced, right? So explain to me how at 6:10, my temperature was 100.7 (38.17c)? That's quite a hop from my normal 97.9 (36.62c)--but yeah.

Anyway, I took it again a while ago and it was 100 (37.77c) even, and I'm taking it again now...but I'm not worried about it, because i called kim and she said she's had a fever of 102 (38.88c) (she's warmer than me) and that's pretty much all it's been for her.

Oh hey, 99.9 (37.72c)

So anyway, I'm hungry again, which suggests to me that I go eat, then i can take some ibu since my back, hip, leg and knee hurt/ache.

But yes, I'm hungry! Yay!

  i found this birthday thing...where you put your date and year in and it tells you stuff...and one of the things is what kinda tree you are and what it says about your personality...and i'm amused at how very similar they are.

For my acutal birthday: (Feb 17)
Cedar, the Confidence
Of rare beauty, knows how to adapt, likes luxury, of good health not in the least shy, tends to look down on others, self-confident, determined, impatient, wants to impress others, many talents, industrious, healthy, optimism, waiting for the one true love, able to make quick decisions.

For the day I was supposed to be born: (Apr 4)
Rowan, the Sensitivity
Full of charm, cheerful, gifted, without egoism, likes to draw attention, loves life, motion, unrest and even complications, is both dependent and independent, good taste, artistic, passionate, emotional, good company, does not forgive.

There's a lot of me in both of those...though the wanting to impress is more a likes to draw attention lmao...anyway...i'll grab the link in a second to share the fun.

so there you go, lol.

mood: crack is the word of the day!!
music: brought to you by the number 6!
firefox smokes crack.

so does hotmail.

I think they smoke it together.

...see, there's this kick-ass random thing that never happened to me on IE. When I go into my hotmail, I usually have to click the link I want twice the first time. Also, it takes firefox a LONG time to open the "contacts" list...and the new thing.

Can someone explain to me how 3 60kb files equal more than 10mbs? I'm confused.

anyway, I don't understand all the people who trill about firefox being so much better. Something fucked up on my computer where I can't run IE anymore, it keeps crashing...which will be pointed out in how firefox is so much better, but firefox crashes on me all the time, too. I've got chrome loaded, but it's not as impressive as I thought it would be, kinda made me sad.

Anyway.

But yes. Site. That's it.

I updated my main page:

The new arc page:

Chance or Circumstance - Fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice, shame on you...fool me again, and we're just having fun.

The new story:

Above You - Some friends are worth keeping, no matter how hard that keeping may be.

so...yeah.

  Today started out normal enough, Ade picked me up and we went to Kim's...but Kim's van was there. Kim hadn't called either me or Ade to NOT pick me up, so we were confused. I got inside and gave her a look and in response? "Kay was life-flighted to Corvallis last night."

Cue the horror "oh fuck, not again" sort of moment--Kay is Kim's neighbor's.

For now, she's not dead, just lotsa broken bones...i'll put up more later.
