I got this idea last night. I wish I could have done it better, but with my current skill set, there it is.

it's great to misread an album title, and spend a couple minutes thinking it says 'the voice of albumin' rather than 'the voice of autumn.' i miss chemistry.

I almost missed the bus to work today, because the police had the a block bordering the transit center blocked off. But the sidewalk wasn't blocked off, so it completely looked like it was alright to walk down. I was running late anyways, and eating my lunch as I walked (which is just plain weird to do if your lunch is a vegetarian burrito from a company called 'Neato Burrito.' That's like, let's take this whole weird-as-fuck thing and run with it! I'm going to take my burrito for a walk!). I wasn't really paying attention, because cops in Redmond are bored and like to barricade roads for fun.

...Apparently, today it was not for fun. It's really interesting to be eating a fucking vegetarian burrito and looking like a tool and knowing that you look like a tool, realizing there are a bunch of guns trained on you. Well, the guns part was really cool, but the damn burrito ruined it. I was wearing a blue jacket, ironically.

In the end, I managed to catch the bus, didn't get shot, and neither did the stupid burrito (godamnit, why could I not have been smoking or something instead of eating lunch? I know I don't smoke. That's not the point.).

Burritos leech all the hardcore out of any situation. Those cops may as well have been throwing daisies.

Here's a doodle to go with all this.
( of course Veld would work through lunch. )

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Miyavi canceled on me

;_;

( I guess this is why. )

The party wasn't a party, it was a seminar. I was expecting a cocktail get together minus the alcohol, you know? Instead we all sat at tables and ate quaint little sandwich rolls while the district managers lectured from a podium. And guys? There was no coffee. It was a party at Starbucks Corporate HQ and there was NO COFFEE ANYWHERE.

But it was still nice because I got to explore a cool building and buy a frisbee.

Okay, I bought my Miyavi tickets. Goodbye, $100, I really liked you but I think we're both better off this way.

...Don't you give me that look. I could totally make that money back in 10 hours and 39 minutes and six and a half seconds at my current pay rate. God I need a raise.

I bought a ton of music on itunes a little while back, but for some reason apple hasn't taken any of my money for it. it would be really cool if they forgot.

Also, MIYAVI IS COMING TO SEATTLE IN TEN DAYS.

Isn't that depressing? Not really, it just makes Miyavi that much more enjoyable (I really think Myiavi is best in winter. I also think I might be the only human alive that has seasonal taste in music, so you know what, never mind). This morning on the way to work we kept driving by plants that were entirely black, like they'd been frostbitten. Can that happen to plants? If not then is this some sort of incredible act of bioterrorism and could we humans be next? ...That sounds important, so I'm gonna go google it.

Oh, never mind, apparently plants can totally be frostbitten, so we're fine.

...This begs the question, why don't my mochi turn black when I put them in the freezer? >8/ And don't give me any of that 'well see mochi aren't alive' bullshit, you wanker. I want the truth. Oh hey, here's another question: if it gets really super cold in Nibelheim which it probably should because it's in the mountains and all that, wouldn't stuff in the Shinra Mansion freeze? (I know it's sort of insulated in there but with no heating to keep it warm shouldn't all the temperatures eventually equilibriate or something equally legitimate-sounding?) ...So shouldn't Vincent have come out of that coffin a hell of a lot blacker? Becuase to me, he seems wayyy whiter. Like, into the realm of Prince Edward white. And forget that handgun. He shoulda come out with a motherfuckin beat canon, bustin rhymes. White and angsty can work, but it's better when it's in a more Italian than Canadian way (sorry, Canada).

On that topic, I found out an interesting fact: in older Greek words, 'c' is always pronounced like 'k.' Say Cerberus out loud a couple times fast. Are you hearing what I am? Care Bears. His gun is named Care Bears.

I'm in the library. I don't read alot of magazines, but there are articles that catch my eye sometimes, so I picked up a very weathered copy of Cosmopolitan.... Well, I sort of don't know how to put this, but it's a little awkward to be flipping through pages of sex how-to's and slightly porny photos next to a 50-something reading a murder mystery. (I picked it up for, um, the article on skin cancer. Really.)

On a random note, ATTENTION MEN: GUYS THAT CLEAN MORE HAVE MORE SEX. I HAVE THIS FROM A HIGHLY ACCREDITED AND SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE SOURCE. ...That was actually one of Cosmo's foreplay suggestions -- watch him clean something. God, the women that read this must be sad, sad people. Not that I mind neater guys, but swiffers aren't really that sexy... Are they?

Today I ran across 5 lanes of traffic, then realized I'd done it in front of a cop. So I kept running.

It's amazing how many people post about their uterus. Uteri should be optional, shouldn't they? No I don't want to debate the morality of that statement.

Do people really expect you to be excited when they message you asking if you're the same Erica that sold them a horse six years ago? Yep lady I'm that Erica, and no I don't want to hear about your daughter.

So I'm realizing that it was sort of a dumb idea to just plain stay away from LJ until I'm done writing a story. I have ten or so stories going right now, and I don't think any of them are going to get done soon, no matter how much motivation I have. Or how many things I decide to deprive myself of. Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby instigate a policy change.

...Because I just bought this new laptop, which means I won't be able to keep myself from the internet anyways :)

The fics I'm working on right now are all FF7 except for one, which is a Mushi-shi AU (because Mushi-shi AU's are like bug zappers for me). Just out of curiosity, does anyone on my flist write FF?

THE PROBLEM IS, I KEEP ON FORGETTING MY USB AT HOME WITH ALL MY WRITING ON IT.

....hey all....not dead...

The story I'm working on hasn't made alot of progress, mostly because I can't decide if I'd rather work on Drift or my first idea.

Since I need some inspiration, could I have some fic promtps? C: Let's keep it FFVII for now, because I'm afraid of letting another fandom distract me till I'm done with this.




REQUEST AWAY

I'm so sick of getting the highest scores in my English classes, having professors read my papers as examples, hearing what a good writer I am, and still feeling like I'm a hack that can't take a story anywhere. So you know what? I'm going to write something epic. And I'm going to think through its plot, and revise the hell out of it, and actually finish it. And I'm not going to post about anything else until it's done.

Title: New Suit
Fandom: FFVII
Characters: Reno, Tseng, Rufus, Elena, Vincent, Lucrecia, Rude, Hojo
Genre: Crack
Length: ~1,500 words
Summary: Tseng is sick of Reno showing up to work looking like he was dragged there by a street sweeper. Originally inspired by a comic which I have worked hard to find again, yet I haven't come up with it... I'd really love to credit the artist for inspiring this story, and I'm sure if you've seen it you'll know which one I'm talking about once you've read this. Any help tracking it down is appreciated.

[edit] The fantastic relativity found the comic!

( The clock’s ticking, Tseng. One Turk without a job. Two Turks without a job. Three Turks-- )

Title: Duck Hunt
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Characters: Vincent, Chaos, Marlene, Tifa, Cloud, Cid, Denzel
