Padora is a good substitute for Youtube because I go find my funny videos or stare at the pretty Kaito art folks use for his songs. ^^;

(Aa-chan, no worries...I don't think we're off topic too much... XD)


What sleep-derprived Rose saw:

pretty Kaito art.

AISU!!!!

Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

Anyone else getting the feeling that they just walked into an inside joke?

Only if it's an inside joke that involves every other Gakupo and Kaito fan on the face of the plant.

Welp, despite many distractions today, such as TVTropes (damn you, you black hole of a website!), Sims Social on FB, and needing to clean the place so my uncle could come spend a few days here (since we're close to the hospital and he needs to meet his neurologist and get tests done, I managed to get 1,736 words in today. I'm still behind in my total word count compared to what is expected after 4, but only by 163 words. Woot! :nyan:

And they know it, too. I spent the morning on it T_T
But yeah, also slowly moving up :nyan: I'm probably gonna start a new chapter here, though. Darned worldhopping figments that get sucked into the events of FFIV... :ugh:

Instead of writing, I started reading Harry Potter. Halfway through the first book after only a couple of hours. :shifty:
"Xena: I never dreamed that we'd be distanced by a hate
That all the trust we had would go
Gabrielle: How could I hate you
Xena: How could it come to pass?
This awful twist of fate
Gabrielle: How could I hurt you
Xena: This madness can't be so
Gabrielle: I can't believe it
Xena: I never dreamed that any barriers could rise
Gabrielle: Or that I'd ever see the stranger in your eyes
Xena: Our hearts were hurting both the same
Gabrielle: The hurt was tearing up our souls
Xena: The fury in us made us blind
Gabrielle: We could not see beyond the pain
Xena: If we can turn again to love
Gabrielle: If we can heal these open wounds
Xena: We'll leave this hatred far behind
Gabrielle: So not a trace of hate remains
Both: We'll overcome our damaged past
And we'll grow stronger side by side
To stand together through the storms
We're safe ‘cause love will be our guide"
~The Bitter Suite

For those of you old enough to do this: stay away from the drinking. I made the mistake (knowing I'm just as bad as ZEB) to drink two glasses of Manischewitz concord grape and it almost caused me to miss my deadline for my daily word count. Apparently one is ok though 'cause I wrote a big portion of it while I was buzzed... :sweatdrop:

But still...! I won't be doing that for a WHILE. :hun: Apparently I write better when I'm buzzed but for some reason I can't resist the urge to fall asleep on my desk chair. OTL

Ah, yes. Pleasure reading. I have to be very, very careful with books for fun here at school, lest I find myself awake at 3:00 AM saying, "I finished my book! What time is it... oh."

Ink should be a controlled substance. :D
