UPDATED 06/24/2K8

To-do list! NOT THAT ANYONE ELSE IS READING (hi! if you are) but. XD This is by no means a complete or even that comprehensive list -- I change my mind and my whims constantly, but this is at least something I can look at to remind myself "oh hey, that needs to get done eventually."

Most (but NOT all) of these will be posted publically; if you're curious about seeing what isn't (the porn and the original Catfish-related stuff), please check out this post and ask to be added to the appropriate filter(s). :) Please also be sure to actually comment, because, uh, I don't honestly check this post that often. Just FYI. :|b

+++++++++++++++++++++++

ORIGINAL:

GHOST STORY (seattle-side story): part of one of the Catfish projects.

All posts will be open, because I really really want to share this story♥ This is currently ON-HOLD pending some discussions/note-sharings with partner-in-crime sharky_chan.



For that matter, get the Catfish page up pronto. Yesterday, even; I seriously need to get this up. :|

Also, the stuff for the graveyard kitten project with harukami, hahahahahahahaha. 8D I'm excited. ♥

+++++++++++++++++++++++

ASAP (i.e., challenges/obligations/hey-that's-shiny):

• The YC longfic challenge. I-I need an idea, orz.
  
• ontogenesis's birthday fic. Tsubasa/tactics crossover! O INDULGENCE. XD
  
• Bomafic for grendelity COS SHE ASKS SO NICE
  
• Raikou/crossdressing!Kantarou for fadedfeathers
  

+++++++++++++++++++++++

I WANT TO I WANT TO I WANT TO I WAAAAAANT TO:

• More wishful thinking, but I want a (longlonglong) plottastic Dresden Files/Supernatural crossover. And none of the TV show, I want the bookverse with all its twists and mythologies and Mouse in it. I-if only I could write for either of them. :(
  
• Stuff for Triple Strike! Now that the story's hit my personal favorite arc of the whole thing, I want to write sidestories and supplements as Sharky whips out the main canon. :|b
  
• MORE GENDERSWITCH. Guys, guys, you have little idea how incredibly fun I find it. :\b
  

+++++++++++++++++++++++

BACKBURNER (most of these are started, and just need to be eventually finished):

• Pirates of the Carribbean, "Old Wives Tales": do *I* have any idea?!
  
• Kingdom Hearts (2)/Silent Hill, "All Falls Silent": AHAHAHAHAHAH OSHI-
  
• Raikou/Kantarou 50 sentences, set Delta
  
• tactics, 3_measures themes (Youko/Kantarou/Haruka): one fic, multiple sections
  
• Fullmetal Alchemist, "Ratio Air to Fire": this is supposed to be Roy/Ed?!
  
• Fullmetal Alchemist, "Heavy the Crown": Sequel to "And Home Once More." Would eventually be Roy/Ed. Dear self: please write the part between the beginning and the end, which you already have both of.
  
• GetBackers, "Retrieve the Forgotten Gaze!": FINISH THIS DAMNIT. ... but first, edit the hell out of it, augh.
  
• Kingdom Hearts/2, Alex cornerverse, the SEQUEL OF DOOM: all I know is that I want to call the first part "The Gates of Horn and Ivory." HAHAHAH WHAT A SUCK.
  

o hay it is now my birthday

TELL ME WHAT YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT ME

you can do it anonymously, even. >8

HELLO LIVEJOURNAL

For the record, I'm not dead, though gods and fishes know I felt dead at the beginning of the week (o winter, and the illnesses you bring unto everyone), and that has sort of ... thrown me off all week, so that I now exist in this peculiar floaty place of ENERGY and DEAD and switch between the two ... oh, about every. Five minutes. Or something. Sigh.

IN SPITE ALL OF THAT, October has already been an excellent month for me.

* I got to see Great Big Sea in concert! Two sets, two encores, omg favorite band ever. ;__; ♥ I used to not get the appeal of live recordings, though that has certainly changed over the years -- but there are somethings that are still "you had to have been there" for it to really gel. (That, and live recording CDs rarely have the funny exchanges from the band. "I'm attracted to the darkness, you know." "...." "That's why we're into each other." "... Oh. Oh, yeah. Right!")

* Delicious delicious mussels. I want mussels again. :( I was talking to people about seafood last night and now it's like. I want to have a bowl of mussels all to myself and some really nice bread to go with it. ♥_♥

* On the other hand, THERE ARE PANCAKES IN THE BREAK ROOM THIS MORNING and I am going to get a few after I post this. Mmmmmmpancakes.

* RP has been amazingly fun. |D

* Tomorrow I am going to CANADA to harass harukami and mackzazzle for my birthday/Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. And that is the kickstart for a WHOLE WEEK OFF WORK that is my present to myself. \o/ It will include lots of sleeping, procrastinating, and reading all those things I keep telling people I would, and then ... never get around to ...

* I HAS NEW CLOTHES. A-after over ... uh ...

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I ever went on a concentrated "my mission objective is getting new clothes" trip ... ever. In my entire life.

BUT YOU KNOW, I went clothes shopping at thrift stores last weekend and managed to really build up my wardrobe and spend less than $200 on the whole shebang. |D Still no idea what I'm doing for Halloween! I might pull a Wednesday Adams and just go as a homicidal sociopath that looks like an ordinary person. :(

* IT'S FRIDAY. Do you know how magical that is? Friday. F r i d a y. ♥

* Possibly I had more to say. I can always add to this list later. |D

HAPPY -- DAY, PEOPLE. IT'S A DAY. THAT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD THING.

Twenty minutes left and I still don't know if I want to go home or not before the concert. Buuuuu.

( So I spit something out like this, instead. I blame Imaginary Beasts. )

Free Grill or Shotgun with the purchase of a new Sierra or Yukon.

WAT

(I'm not even making this up. Someone has this advertisement on their website.)

All I really can do is just -- laugh. And laugh. And maybe laugh some more. Because that is pretty amazing, you have to admit.

PS GO GIVE ME MORE PROMPTS.

HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT! My birthday is in a couple of weeks!

Which means that, like last year, I want to do a mathoms thing. :Db Yes, I'm aware I'm not done with the last set of prompts I did. BUT NOW I HAVE A DEADLINE!

SO GUYS HEY GUYS, I will take twenty-five prompts! One for each year! Gosh, I'm going to be old. Er. Older. 100-500 words, I THINK PEOPLE KNOW WHAT I LIKE CFUD also applies, sob what is this game doing to me? I reserve the right to say "I'm not feeling the fandom, redo?" but.

LOVE ME, GUYS. \o/

FYI: 17/25
this means you can keep asking :Db

AHHHHHHHHHHHH new computer at work is SHINY AND STUFF but where did all my work-related bookmarks go ;o; also trying to remember how to set it up the dual monitors the way I liked them ;o;

AHHHHHHHHHHHH I only remember the password for my LJ and NOT MY EMAIL. \o/

AHHHHHHHHHHHH I feel like crap (damn you, weather changes! why must you hurt me so!) and only came in so I could GET said new computer

AHHHHHHHHHHHH when did it suddenly get cold! It's ridiculous, living where I do, but the first day it gets really cold it's like my body shuts down. EFF YOU, WORLD, it says. SOB, I say.

BUT!

My manager is awesome and understanding and is letting me bow out early today so I can go home and faceplant for a few extra hours. If I don't fall asleep on the bus and miss my stop.

That said, I've finished the three tasks I did pick up three, that's so sad, that's like NOTHING, I usually average anywhere from sixteen to twenty ;o; and now I am going to DRAG MYSELF OFF. AND SLEEP. AND FIGURE OUT THIS WHOLE PASSWORD FIASCO.

\o/

I. I dunno. I'm still hovering in that I really want to write! stage, but also in that nothing I'm thinking of is really pinging me stage, and it SUCKS. Massively. :(

But frogdance is playing Odin Sphere and reminded me of how much I loved the whole thing. Ironically, she can't read this because it is spoilertastic for the last book of the game.

|D?

( SOUNDBITE: Ingway )

This is a fairly accurate representation of how I greet people.

Except sometimes my sweater is brown instead of black, and I have my hair down. I like how in at least two of the pictures that ratzeo took, it looks like I'm facepalming in the thumbnails.

Hi guys. I know I promise lots of things, but someday, I will have interesting content again. Bear with me. :(

SO somehow in spite of everything (read: being sick, being tired, being ... me?), I apparently qualify to go take a one-day working vacation and help build stuff! Thingy! Uhhhhh, I should really check that email again ...

ETA BECAUSE shadawyn LOVES ME: It's for Habitat for Humanity! Out in Shoreline, apparently.

--well, okay, to be fair, I'm not going to build anything. Like. I told my manager I should really opt out because me + tools = DISASTER IN THE MAKING, but he was actually kind of :( at me about it (like he actually said he was hoping I'd get into the top five because he thinks I would have a lot of positive energy to contribute. I HAVE A LOT OF POSITIVE, but I dunno about energy XD). SO MAYBE I WILL BE ON THE ORGANIZING SIDE OF THINGS IDK god, that is also another terrible idea; I mean, me and organization? i-it is to laugh. WHO KNOWS. BUT IT MEANS I CAN BE OUTSIDE TOMORROW please let this lovely weather hold. |D

In other news, I'm going to do a download post this weekend and going out to dinner tomorrow night for ratzeo's birthday and I'm at that stage of tired again where I consider writing horrible porn. CHECK THIS SPACE FOR DETAILS.

So apparently it's like, "BEAT STRESS!1!" month at work, in that we're getting this little posters and contests and what to prove how UNSTRESSED you are.

Which is awesome solely because one of their tips is "get 6-8 hours of sleep a night."

And I totally get six hours. Sometimes? I even get six and a half. Beat THAT. All of you people who yell at me for my sleeping habits can yell no more! I am within what I require to beat stress! \o/

Sob, can you tell I'm incredibly scatterbrained and flighty today, and am having trouble focusing on. ... anything, really ...



CFUD goes here.

I FEEL LIKE DOING A MEME but I'm still holding out on not asking for those "30 mysterious questions," damnit. :( Instead, I will do the "first lines from 25 of your most recent fic" meme -- MINUS the drabble responses and stuff for CFUD. LET'S BE PATTERN LOOKING?

( Twenty-five opening lines )

Obviously, my pattern is "opening sentences that are too damn long and rambly," but I suspect that's actually just partly me and failing. Sob. Why do I TALK SO MUCH.

EVERYTHING IN THIS FIC STANDS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING JOSSED. Or Hoshino'd, as the case may be. Headcanon is wibbly-wobbly subjective stuff. :( enough_space told me to write it anyway.

So I did, and now I am going to play with crayons, yay. :D

Sing a song of sixpence
-- of six and pence and pence and six --
sing a song my darling, that will do the trick
sing a song and line your pockets all full of rye
sing a song my darling, hush now, do not cry
fools are the only ones to die

( a song of six and pence )

Guys

guys guys guys guys guys

I have Monday off! Because it's Labor Day!

I didn't realize it was already going to be Labor Day!

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I wanna play the headcanon game, does anyone else wanna play the headcanon game, sob why isn't it Friday.

Also good lord, I ... never post anything of worth or interest these days. MY JOURNAL ALWAYS GOES THROUGH THESE CYCLES OF ACTIVITY -- INACTIVITY -- ACTIVITY, this too shall pass. >|

a-and I haven't forgotten about the honesty meme, I'm just. Slow as molasses at it. Sob. SPOILERS: EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED ON IT? I LOVE YOU ALL. I mean it.

ALSO THE NEWEST GREAT BIG SEA CD IS OUT. In fact, it has apparently been out since July, but their website did not mention this. :( But now that I know it exists, as soon as I am home, I am pouncing on that mp3 album order, because if "Straight to Hell" is not mine by the end of tonight, I might cry.

Pretend you're not laughing too hard, okay. :(

THE RP LOVE MEME

I am about to frolic off to one of Seattle's biggest tourist traps, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

This is mostly because I want tomatoes and the garlic-rosemary bread that the Three Sisters sells, and possibly gelato.

IF I DIE, I THINK EVERYONE I LOVE KNOWS THIS. ♥

I LIED I went to the farmer's market instead.

I still got tomatoes, but now I have hominy bread and a granita instead of the other two. I don't actually think this is a bad trade-off; I am INCREDIBLY LAME and I love farmer's markets. It's all incredibly yay. \o/

will do more honesty meme stuff and whatnot when I get back

Because obviously, if I say "I am half-tempted," it means I am ALL TEMPTED amirite.

I am so right.

ANYWAY, instead of doing the paranoia meme, let's have the HONESTY MEME, in which. If you comment here, I will tell you with all frank honesty what I think of you, including hilarious anecdotes of personal fail on my side of things, should they apply. YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO THE SAME TO ME, and I in fact encourage it, as. If I am bothering you or annoying you or doing it wrong, I like to know these things!

COMMENTS ARE SCREENED to protect you from my stupid the innocent.

Do Nobodies dream of nonexistent sheep?
I BLAME covert and campfuckudie for getting me back into Kingdom Hearts. THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. \o/

( such are dreams )

Oh, Mondays, and your quintissential ... Monday-ness. People will be proud to know that I did not, in fact, fall all the way down the stairs this morning -- I tripped and stumbled and nearly dropped my bagel -- but then I rescued it! It was very dramatic and the only casualty was my pride.

Weekend was a mix of anxiety and zennnnnnnn; we kicked things off by going to see the new Batman movie on Friday (I ... will possibly post on it later, though suffice to say I felt it was a very good movie and a well-executed one, but it was also something I don't really want to see again |D), hanging out with people all Saturday, finishing up New Who season 3 Sunday (I hadn't realized how much they use the Gallifrey theme in the last three episodes until this rewatch, at which point I kind of internally went ;; a lot, because that is probably my favorite of all the OST pieces for all four seasons thus far), and a lot of eating out.

... oh, and anenduringoath at CFUD get. |D I HAVE AN AMAZING STORY ABOUT IT that basically involves covert topping me into topping myself, which really is the way to go about it. :( Guys, guys, what am I doiiiiiiing if I'm doing it wrong HIT ME REALLY HARD also eff to you all, I'm not cute. :(

Now it is Monday and I am at work, which is thankfully mellow at the moment. Brainpower is at a minimum, incoherency at maximum, and it is a gorgeously sunny day.

Now I'mma go respond to comments, because people are very kind to me and I love them lots. :(b

WORK IS SLOW TODAY. Like, incredibly slow. This ... could concievably change after I have lunch, since Fridays are usually madness at the end of the day, but for now, my app is completed, the internet is quiet, and so I'm going ahead and posting some of the fic prompts I asked for, a while back. (SEE, SEE, I'M WORKING ON THEM LIKE I SAID I WOULD. \o/) ... I am incredibly rusty, it feels like; please forgive me. :(
