(no subject)

I have an exam tomorrow - but tomorrow is not today. Hah! Anyway, I managed to finish part seven of Dragon of Twilight, and I got a bunch of work done on the Majic/Orphen fic (which still needs a name).

I missed the Academy Awards last night because I was at work - but that's okay, because watching them isn't that great anyway. I just want to know who won what.

That reminds me... I need to buy Spirited Away when it comes out. I think that's in April some time. Better start watching for it; I'll probably be able to get it at local video stores. I still can't believe we didn't have it in theaters here!

Blech. I hate this stupid city.

Three more weeks of school, and then we're into exam period. Score! I can't wait to be done...

Some woman came into McCleaner's last night and begged for some money. Her hands were shaking - she said from pain. I figure she could've been a drug user, but I gave her five dollars in case she was telling the truth. She was pretty old, and seemed embarrassed about asking for money.

I dunno... I just would rather be suckered than not give money to someone who needed it.

On another note, here:

Orphen Revenge: Episode Twelve

Flamesoul: I, the flamboyantly gay villain, will destroy you all! *squawky laughter*

Cleao: No... Gonna... die!

Majic: His... laughter will... kill... us all!

Flamesoul: *giggle* Wee, I'm evil! *preens* Krylancelo! You bad boy, come and get me!

Orphen: *shudder*

Eris: I've clearly been trying to get Majic into bed since the first episode I showed up in, but when he accidentally grabs me, I think I'll knock him back into the water so he can drown. Can't appear too eager, right?

Majic: And people wonder why I prefer men...

Orphen shows up just in time to rescue Majic from Eris's incompetence.

Majic: I think I need mouth-to-mouth. *innocent smile*

Orphen: Sorry, but there's this other gay man I've got to deal with first.

Flamesoul is defeated, but FATHER TIME shows up to try and kidnap Orphen. Luckily, Licorice and her plastic blow gun are there to save him.

Orphen: I let Flamesoul live so that he could come back and cause more trouble later on. Can't run out of plot, can we?

Licorice: Not to worry. Esperanza will kill him for us.

Majic: Who?

Cleao: Shh! You're giving away the plot of the next eleven episodes!

Hartia: I'm confused...

Orphen: That's okay. After about six or seven more episodes of pointlessness, we'll somehow get to the point. Maybe.

TO BE CONTINUED... (dramatic music)

I love writing these. Can't help it.

I've listen to philosopher who went through something similar, with the whole poor lady begging for money thing. One day when he was out with some people someone begged him for money for food, so he gave them some money and left it at that. The people who he was with didn't understand why he did it claiming that they could have been a drug addict or something and he replied something to the effect of:

"It was a gift to them and it is not my choice on what they do with it. But they may look back on it someday and remember that someone was kind to them."
