the kangaroo communique --> back-up style!

Hi, guys. Lots of things have happened. In sum:

Still don't have a job. I am okay with this.

Gaming a lot, writing a lot, RPing like a boss, doing well in my studies, dealing with stupid classmates.

Switched ISPs to something faster. This is about the only reason why I'm finally doing personal LJ things - my old connection just couldn't load all the stuff going on on my flist, and I couldn't download doujin/anime anyway, so there wasn't a point. Coming back now that I have the means.

Feeling better about myself and the direction I'm going in, overall. Things will only get better from here on, with luck.

How have all of you been? Apologies: I suck at keeping up with you folks these days. You're welcome to scold me through the usual means. As a sort of peace offering, have some fics:


GINTAMA. // A lover as faithful as guilt.
GINTAMA. // Something's Burning: Fate could create you and I.
GINTAMA. // Something's Burning: Open up and let me inside.
GINTAMA. // Something's Burning: Errands and affairs.
GINTAMA. // Something's Burning: Deny, deny, deny.
GINTAMA. // Something's Burning: Regarder la lumiere
GINTAMA. // Something's Burning: Nautical dawn.
GINTAMA. // Something's Burning: I will be the water for your thirst.
GINTAMA. // Something's Burning: Epilogue.




Fandom bias, thy name is Gintama.

Update more.

Use LJ and the internet for things other than RP, plurk, student shit, grad studies shit, downloads and poking people.

Update more.

Do a srs friends cut and zone in on what really matters. TIME, IT IS A HARD THING TO COME BY.

Grit your teeth and stick by the game plan. You can take a break next year. You can leave the brats behind for a bit. ALL WILL BE WELL.

Your new motto is kebs na lang. Live it, love it, breathe it.

Write more. Yes.

Use this journal. And make coherent posts. ...And try not to update at ungodly hours.

Update more.

On other news: my students make me want to go HULK SMAAAAASH, the article I've got pending for publication has just been typeset, and in spite of all the school shit and the bustle of everything and the stress, things between me and some of the people who truly matter to me are a-okay.

I do solemnly swear that I'll have better entries than this in the future.

Idk how long it's been since the last time that I did this, but I suppose it doesn't matter.

Long and short of it, guys? Hit me. Hard and fast. With your desired fandom, and the desired prompt, and your desired character/pairing/premise. As many times as you want on this post.

No guarantees that I'll write it, but I'll sure as hell try.

Yeah, this is me trying to put my thoughts into order, and give myself something to do in between all the RL shizzle on my plate. Also: because it's damned nice, to constantly write, even if it comes out fail.

Also: this post is your time to remind me of any personal promises I made to fic for you, and did not end up keeping up. orz

And now, the long-ass list, all of which were shamelessly ripped from the prompts from a variety of fic writing comms.

Yeah, the ones with the dates are from 31_days. ILU you guys, even if some of the commenters there are - excuse the term - totally self-entitled bitches.


( LOOK MA I CAN CODE. )




Yeah.

I'm totally NOT trying to kill myself here. :\

The writing of this entry was massively delayed because of Suikoden Tierkreis.

No, I do not have a DS - khursten lent me hers, with encouragement from yukitsu, because the both of them are delightfully evil.

My PSP is with Khursten now. orz

Cold aside, this week was pretty glorious because two vacations that consequently landed on the only remaining work days that I had pretty much left me with a four-day weekend. Used Tuesday and Wednesday up for tackling my backlog (which I managed to finish), and rolled around on Thursday. Met with the girls on Friday, which felt strangely like Saturday because lmao, long weekend is long.

Friday was also the day that I took home Khursten's DS, and it ate me alive. It's... still chewing on my arm. ._.

Saturday class was lulzy because we tackled Formalism and Reader Response Theory. Had a lot to contribute to both while I was tackling the gazillion tags I got from all of my RP accounts. I'm getting better at juggling all this stuff, but also realizing that I may definitely have to cut down on my activities and RPs soon. There are so many other things that I ought to be or would rather be doing with my time now.

Title: Insanity is hereditary.
Characters/Pairing(s): Tsuyoshi, Iemitsu, Shamal, mentions of others
Rating: G
Summary: On the eve of a fight for succession, some not-so-tired old men get together for a good drink.
Warnings? Manry bonding, and alcohol.
Notes: Originally written for khr_undercover. I wrote for the theme, "Origins", and I actually won, which is pretty cool. o_o The title is taken from a theme found in one of the 31_days sets!


1,495 words.


...There is a funny story behind this one. See, I joined khr_uc not knowing that it was actually a contest, and since I was srsly busy, I forgot to join the community and keep track of the updates. So, when I finally found out that the results were up and I saw my name on the post as one of the winners for the theme competition, I was like "whut". XD;

Still, it was challenging and very fun. I'm considering joining the third round, but with my hit record with writing, it's probably better if I didn't.

Deadline for the minibang is coming up by the end of this month. I've checked my entry over for the umpteenth time, and I figure that I can get by on minimal editing. The thing, as a whole, looks perfectly fine on its own.

Been tripping out massively on movies lately, and that sort of made me realize something about my writerly cycle that I'll probably blog about sometime.

I should also blog about my stand on KHR!, since I've been gabbing off to a select few people ever since the first chapter for this month came out.

For the moment, though, I'll pimp out the entry on Nine Inch Nails that I made sometime back, since a couple of you guys were asking.


Nine Inch Nails and How I Owe Them Just Short of Everything

May open myself up for prompts. Possibly when my brain stops dribbling out of my nose.
