Exclusive Insanity

I wrote drabble! Uninhabited Planet Surive Drabble! At least... it was supposed to be drabble. It got long, and spawned a title somehow...

It's also gen, but that's okay. Character study. I had fun messing around with it. Hehe. I linked the story from my GJ, since that's where I post story stuff. If anyone reads it, leave a comment here or there or wherever, and let me know if it's okay. Please?

Also, SPOILER WARNING for episode 43.

Howard, again

So after I did as much as I could on the assignment (although I could've done more on the project, but that's not due until next week), I goofed off as usual for as long as I possibly could. Watched a couple more episodes of Uninhabited Planet Survive.

And made some icons. Like the one I'm using. That episode cracked me up, just because... man. Talk about type-casting.

The next episode brought out a couple of crushes. Two of them aren't really confirmed, I'm just guessing - but they're the ones I would've predicted. The one that IS confirmed totally caught me off-guard. Not really a bad thing, but it was still unexpected.

It looks as though Howard may be the only one *without* a crush of some sort, whether on a person in the show or someone we haven't seen. But, well, he was the one in drag in episode 39, so...

Not commenting. I don't think I really need to.

I'm also not going to say much about the plot just now, because I know ice_is_blue is still watching. But I think it got weirder. Again.

Ah well.

I read all of the most recent chapters of Death Note, finally. I'm all caught up now! And ( Spoilers )

Hopefully I can get that assignment working today. Even one little bit of it working would be good - if I hand it in and it partly works, I know I'll get partial marks, because he told us so.

So, I can hope for at least that much. I'll have to talk to him first, though.

Very possibly a questionable exchange of words.

Howard: All right! I'm on top!
Bell: I think Howard should be on the bottom.
Kaoru: Yes, since he sleeps with bad form.

Crack!OT3! (Kaoru, you'll never sparkle with that kind of attitude)

My comic got its first email yesterday, and it was to tell us that it's not funny but the art is decent.

Hell, *I* couldn't told you that. I don't like the current comics either.

Ah well. Anyway, she likes Jer's art, so that is cool. I'll have to remember to tell him that when I see him.

I think the end of reading break is what prompted me to suddenly start downloading and/or starting up a whole lot of stuff. It's like... I might have to try and get stuff done now - crap! Gotta find other things to keep busy with!

I'm downloading two new anime series - King of Bandit Jing, which I have never heard of and don't know anything about (I saw a box set at a store once and liked the picture) and Uninhabited Planet Survive, which herongale recommended to me forever ago and which I've been meaning to get started on since then.

They're still downloading, so I have yet to watch anything of either of them. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow when I should be doing homework.

I also cracked and started reading a certain manga that various people on my Friends list are obsessed with. I figured at least the art would be good, since it was the artist who did Hikaru no Go. I've also been told by just about everyone who reads it that it's goddamn addicting, which I found to be ALL TOO TRUE.

Anyway, for those who don't know, it's called Death Note, and the main character is an arrogant little ass. I like his Shinigami pal, and I like his opponent, but I don't care much for him. I'm kind of hoping everything ends up blowing up in his face, really.

( Random philosophy and thoughts )

I had to stop reading last night to go to bed and get enough sleep for school today, but I'll be going back to it now. I want to see what happens next.

I need to go price speakers... really I do...

I got this random, fun idea yesterday - figured I'd mention it here in case anyone is interested, although I'm not sure if it'll just be my GreatestJournal friends in on it.

The idea is this: create a world. I mean, it'd be a sort of group thing, we all make suggestions and such. Creating a world is a big job, after all. Even once the world is created, there are probably still details here and there that need to be added in and all.

Anyway, when we've done that, you can write stories set in it. Any stories. Original fiction, fanfiction - whatever you want. You can borrow other characters people create for it (as long as you credit the original author) and use them in your own story if you like. The only rule is that the stories should probably be posted to the community in some way (linked, actually posted there, even just mentioned or something).

It's pretty loose, anyway - just for fun. I thought it'd be interesting.

Heh. Anyway... I hung out with Sarah yesterday, for the first time in a long time. She's very happy right now, which is good. I gave her more Kyou Kara Maou, and we're hanging out again next Friday. Should be fun!

Back to school on Monday... ugh. Reading break always goes by so fast.

I was reading an old rant that I had saved a link to some time ago, on an issue I have some agreement with. Then I went into some of the comments - and found an interesting point in someone's reply.

The point being: if fans can take a canon het pairing and break it up to form a yaoi pairing... why can't het fans take a canon yaoi pairing and break it up to form a het pairing?

Thoughts?

Well, I had to work yesterday - other than that, it wasn't a bad day. I love spring break.

I did get *something* done for school - I looked up the method I was going to need to use in my program that I couldn't remember. So now I have it. I just have to put it to use.

Heh. Yeah...

I watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds yesterday. It was a cute movie, and a lot like Miyazaki's other works. Very man vs nature, and there were some neat female characters. Actually, most of the male characters were pretty dull - Nausicaa and the other princess were the most interesting. I had to do a double take when she was doing her hang-gliding, though - her tights/pants were too close to skin color. Looked like she was giving everyone below a free show.

But it was a good movie. I enjoyed it.

Other than that, not much happened. It was a nice, slow, boring day. Very nice.

So today is the first official day of my reading break (seeing as how it's the first day I have off from school) and I intend to sit around. Excellent. I'm vaguely thinking about homework and trying to be noble and get some of that done, but it probably won't happen.

I want to do some reading, and some writing, and some watching of stuff.

Yesterday, I didn't do a lot. I slept in since I was out late the night before, and then had to work a bit later on. Work was actually not that bad. There were no customers from about six o'clock on. It was great.

Quiet nights are the best ones.

Wow... I have nothing to write about here. My life is so boring... heh. I like it that way, though - it means nothing bad is happening.

There's a meme going around where I'd get people to ask one question about my writing... That seems strange to me. I can't think of any questions to ask the people who have it up, so I don't know what anyone would ask me.

What is there to know about a person's writing?

Fuzzy speakers... argh...

Ah well. The exam went pretty well yesterday - I'm pretty sure I did well. Unless I did everything totally wrong, but I don't think I did.

I went for lunch with V, Jen, and Jo yesterday, which was a lot of fun - it was good to see them all. We're going to try and do the same thing again today before I go to work.

Jo, V, and I went to see Constantine last night as well. I figured it'd be crappy, but it wasn't *too* bad. A bunch of stuff was just kind of convenient plot device without much explanation or development. The female character couldn't do anything for herself, as usual. Catholism is, of course, the only right way and blah blah blah. Other than that, it was decent.

It was fun to hang out with my friends. I came up with Jo and V, and Sarah met us there for a while before the movie. So that was cool. We went to Future Shop, into the mall, and up to Chapters. I found the director's cut of Legend for about $25, so I bought it. I might watch that today, or - if I don't have time - maybe tomorrow.

We'll see. Work tonight, and then hanging out with V again before she has to leave tomorrow.

I can't believe it's been a week already... Time's gone by so fast...
