Alright! This is my party like it's 1999 entry. As above, it's called "To Inveigle a Padawan into a Puppet" and yes, it's three and a half hours late. Uh, whoops! I'd get into the TMI about why but I already did to poor wild_huntress  But it's done... so now to get some sleep and brace myself for my godbrother / cousin's wedding.

( To Inveigle a Padawan into a Puppet )

As my great grandmother would say: simple objects amuse simple minds.

I am so amused. Beyond amused. I've been playing with mine for neigh on twenty minutes. Roll up, catch, throw to the ground, catch, oooh,... the glitter spins!

I swear these are one of the best inventions ever. It started with my sister, who bought one to see if she could have the Bubble Fairy have it as a prop at Faire this year, but mostly for herself. Then my mother saw it. And I saw it. They are more than great, just awesome.

They're bouncy ball snow globes.

I am totally serious. They bounce, and spin and sparkle. Heh heh heh.... There's small ones too, about less than half the diameter of the bigger ones, so like, two inches maybe? those ones go even faster, and bounce better than the big ones. But they get air bubbles easier if you bounce them too much. Heh.

More speicimens? Indeed.

Another oneshot, woohoo. Also ToS verse. This one snuck up and bit me on the butt so to speak, so sorry if it's weird, or whatever. But I was aiming for humor, the twisted kind that makes you look at things sideways.

 

( Take this! )

New story time. Man, I am Sooo Cool! As Zelos says.

There's my crazy moment of the day.

It's another Tales of Symphonia fic, called, as above, Memoirs for Angels Forgotten. Just a oneshot drabble for now, about a thousand words.

Maybe next I'll post my dilemma with my Party Like its 1999 fic. I got to the max word count of 2500 words and realized that I needed more room to actually get it done. Sad, isn't it? I'll have to rehaul it. Well, there's still three weeks (and doesn't that make me sound bad.) 

( Take this! )

 

Basically in my head Mithos would join them early on, probably meet Genis when he’s frantically searching for Kratos and co in Triet, and Mithos calling Kratos “Master!” and attaching himself to the journey. Then those doubts would be piling more and more and more and that’s about where my inspiration split into so many ends I don’t want to tackle them.

 

But man, I am sick of typing “Yggdrasill”. Suddenly I don’t blame the stupid people who type out “Yggy!” from Pronyma in all seriousness.

So, uh, yeah. First entry in a while. I wrote a Greg-the-Vampire fanfic. lame me. But it's nice and polished and stuff, so I'm kind of proud? I'll just think of it as a step into writing again. It's been in sequences lately, started with a three page ToS story, now a sevenish page G-t-V story. I'm hoping eventually I'll  like writing enough again to start up on my other stories that have been sitting on my drive for months.

( So look under the cut for Firebird Rescue )

I think... I'm getting inspired to write something again. I've been pretty dedzor for months now, even my reading is half hearted as mcartel</lj> will probably agree to. Everything's pretty blah. And now people are all 'Twilight this and Twilight that' and I'm like, this sucks. The writing is disconnected, the main character is a total Mary-Sue, and you know what? My mother thought it was a pile of poo. And she reads anything. From enjoying the things she has taste in to the sappiest, Oh Clark, how I love you romance novels. She read it through, I got to like, chapter three.

But this isn't about the shoddiness of Twilight, I don't want to be like every other and say something about it, so... What this really is about is this idea in my head.

( Warning: Am not serious. )

For the first five people that reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something. It might be something I've made, or something cool from my hidden stash, it might be a mix CD, or a rubber duck, a book I think you will enjoy, or something else that is awesome. Whatever it is, I promise that I will get it to you in 365 days or fewer. The only thing you need to do in order to participate is to be one of the first five to reply to this, AND post this very same thing on YOUR LiveJournal - cause it's fun to give people stuff.

Honestly you don't have to repost for me, but the limits still five. If it makes you more comfortable to get your britches but not spend forty USD on stamps, great for you I'm crazy.

Brisingr. Was totally blown away. But of course I was, it's Paolini, the great man he is. Incoherent shocked, though nowhere near as much as I was after Eldest. Still has that characteristic colorfulness.

And speaking of, it's no longer a trilogy. I'm slow on the upkeep that I didn't know until I bought Brisingr. There'll be a book four of the now renamed Inheritance Cycle. Imagination works like that, I guess. Have to keep going.

I'll organize a what happened spoilers later.

God, I can't believe that game. Croatia vs. Turkey. 0-0 all ninty minutes, plus the first of the quarter hour half extra and most of the second one. 119 minutes and Croatia scored, 120th minute plus Turkey scored. Just... what a game wow. Of course, the Penalty kicks sucked for Croatia, only one shot out of four made it. Two went hairsbreadth post wide, the one that won the game for Turkey got caught by the keeper. But good god, I honestly didn't know who to root for. I'm a Germany fan myself, and if not them then Sweden, and whoever won was playing Germany in the semifinals. Turkey now, but I was caught between wanting Germany to have a good challenge with each of them, knowing how tacky the bright red uniforms are when they just played Portugal in the quarterfinals with equally red uniforms, or playing against Croatia, who they'd already lost against.

Thinking about who will win in the semi, in a who beat who scenario is stupid. All three teams (Germany, Turkey, and Croatia) have all had growth during their numerous matches. Will it be close, no doubt, but I think Germany will surprise them, because after the talk worthy game that Turkey played, Germany's going to have a hugely different drive.

Gahhh it itches! And it doesn't let up. Crotch burn hurts less, is less irritating than surgical staples. It's distracting and pulling and my skin is beyond inflamed because of it plus the tape. =__=

Kill me now.
