I'm back... kind of.

Currently listening to: Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift

Currently reading: Wastelands
 
Currently playing: Jak 3
 
Currently writing: nothing

Current mood: sad... a little empty

Eh, not too much to say. I've been pretty busy with the end-of-the-year graduation stuff and all. Had prom last weekend, Senior trip tomorrow, Alumni Banquet Saturday, flute choir practice Sunday, environmental club trip next week, then band trip, band concert, baccalaureate, finals, graduation, and flute choir concert.

Don't tell me that's not a viable excuse for lack of updates.

About updates.... I just don't feel like it. =\ I don't feel like writing a whole lot right now. I did manage to finish chapter 2 of The Wrath of Adelais (did I mention I changed the name of Konec Sveta: World's End?) though. Just not up to working on SOTS, LIY, or ACAT.Good luck getting me to update any of them before I graduate. I've had a couple people message me and tell me to get to work on it, but you know, I don't really care right now. I appreciate it and all, but I write when I feel like it and only when I'm in the mood.
There are reasons other than my busy schedule for lack of updates. Remember way back when, when I wrote about my prom date having a girlfriend? I think it was at the end of January.
There are problems with this now.
Rather thank fully explaining my dilemma, I'll post a rant I made about it after prom last week.

The night I'd been waiting for weeks was gone in a flash. There's no excuse to talk to you anymore, no reason to hang out with you. I won't see that smile again -the one you flashed at me when you got to drive my mom's car, when I tripped over my dress, or when I commented on how tall you are. I won't see you again in that pinstripe tux you let me choose. There's no reason for you to slow dance with me now, no reason for any of that.
It's all for the best, right?
She's so much better for you. A pretty girl to match a handsome personality. As long as you love each other, that's all that matters. I want to be happy for you, but I can't.
The happiness I felt before, when you sing a wrong note, smile at me, promised not to tag me out in PE, when you let me wear your tie, anytime you were around me, I can't find it again. That happiness is gone. My heart breaks into smaller pieces every time I see you now. It's hard to be around you. Your glasses that you think look dorky? They look good on you. That strange way my friends say you walk? I like it.
Sometimes I can't help but wish that the way you smile at me, every time you compliment me, the way you let me slip by with things, that it was just for me. That's not it though. You treat every girl like that because you were raised a gentleman.
A part of me thinks, 'I wish he'd hold me that way.' I hate that side of me. These thoughts are so wrong, all very wrong. It will never work. I'm trying to move on, to preoccupy myself with my work. Maybe it'll work out for the best. You belong with her, not me. I know I can't have you. I tell myself that every time I think of you. Why can't I think of someone else? It feels strange to think of someone else the same way.
Thank you for being my date. You made my last dance the best I'd ever had. Good luck next fall, and take care of her. She deserves it, and so do you.
After all, I'm nothing more than your friend.
 I guess that pretty much explains most of it. I wish the night hadn't ended... I liked walking through grand march with him (with Fallin' For You playing in the background) and he even danced a slow song with me. <=] I enjoy being around him and wish I had reason to hang out with him more often... Well, at least he's happy, right? =')
So, for now, don't expect any updates soon. Due to complications in my own love life, I just can't do it.

Angry midgets?

No, not angry midgets. I'm just really angry this week... I don't know why, but unlike my normal personality, everything and anything pisses me off and I've been dropping the f bomb left and right. I say it's my inner gamer personality showing through. =\ You know the one where I have this alter ego that shines through when I'm playing videogames? I should really control it a bit more. It's very unattractive. =(

On the bright side, I've got like over half of KS: World's End chapter 2 finished! XD I'm quite happy with the way the story's coming along now. It should be quite interesting. I'm thinking of making a mirror story when KS is finished. If I do it just right, I might have a chance of getting it published! hahaha Eat your heart out, SMeyer. XD Oh, before I forget, I changed my QZ account so any links I put on earlier journals to stories on it will end up locked. You won't be able to see them. This is my new account:

Konec Sveta: The World's End

KS: World's End is the product of the original fic I was planning the other day. I got the first chapter posted on my QZ. Click here to read it. Don't freak out if you see some foreign title at the top. It's Russian for apocalypse, written in the Russian alphabet. I refer to it as "KS: World's End" in my posts, so if you see that, I'm talking about that. Konec Sveta is the romanized version of the Russian word.
So far it's a post-apocalyptic fic rather than pre-apocalyptic. I enjoyed writing it so far. I started chapter two today.
I'm still playing Jak a bunch. I dunno if I mentioned it or not, but I published a couple of Jak/Keira fics the other day. (Sunny Days in Sandover Village and Searching For You)

Sonata of the Storm.... (I keep wanting to call it Breaking Through the Storm.. not used to BTtS being over yet) I started chapter four, got past the part where they find out they passed the captain test, and from there, well, I got stuck. =\

Oblivious... chapter two's started, but I gotta get some ideas straightened out.

KS: World's End.... ch 2 half done

ACAT.... honestly, I put it off for so long I don't know where to pick up on it.

WTBW.... same here.

OH! By the way, I've been watching Red vs. Blue, and this is one of my fav episodes. XD

New original fic

So far there's good feedback on SotS. I'm planning on totally fluff filled chapter sometime soon. It probably won't be until chapter five though. I started chapter four today, but between Oblivious, Lost In You, and my recent Jak and Daxter obsession, I'm hoping I'll get around to finishing it before the end of the month.
I've got a lot of good feedback on Oblivious (my ocxoc two/threeshot). I've got a couple messages about it wondering when the next chapter should be, and I should have it up by tomorrow. I got a really cute idea for the next chapter, which was supposed to be the last, but I really want to make it into a threeshot.

Like I said before, I've been replaying the Jak and Daxter games. That explains the Jak/Keira oneshots I've been craving to write for awhile, as well as the "Pacifiers and Lollipops" challenges sponsored by myself and Apollo Night (on FFN).  I just can't get enough of the Jak/Keira pairing, though... Besides wanting to kill and shoot at the citizens of Haven City, that's one of the main reasons I'm playing it. Yes, I find pleasure in killing innocent people. Scary, no? XD Really, they're in the way, so there's no reason I shouldn't kill them, right?

On another note, I've been working on another original story. This one's more of an adventure/pre-apocalypse fic. I'm planning on including a bit of the old Russian dynasty (Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, Grand Duke Alexei Nikolaevna, etc.). I think it should be interesting. I've had this idea about setting a fic in early 20th Century Russia (before the Bolshevik revolution/World War I), so when I was reading "Wastelanders," I got a really neat idea on how I could go about it. FYI, "Wastelanders" is this collection of pre/post-apocalyptic stories by various authors. I just finished reading "The End of the Whole Mess" by Stephen King, and I really liked it! I always thought he was just a horror story author, but he's really good. =D
I've been trying to figure out how to pronounce the Russian alphabet so I can translate Russian for "Lost City" into the English alphabet.

Where my updates are:

*SOTS chapter 4 started

*LIY chapter 3 (or is it 4?) not started

*ACAT- still on hiatus...

*Oblivious #2- should be done tonight or tomorrow

*Winter Wonderland/oneshot request- Still not started...

*Music Drabbles bonus tracks- they're getting somewhere

*QFTL challenge- not worked on since I fulfilled my last request for it.

*20 Quotes challenge- I don't even know if I want to do it, but one of the quotes is a basis for my new original story

*"Pacifiers and Lollipops" challenges- I suck at drawing, but I can try it. I'm gonna try for the oneshot too, but I'm not sure where to start it.
