My Nano word count is currenlty at 23515. Maybe not as high as it should be, but with the level of stress I'm under it's still managable.

And now a fic, done for the springkink challenge.


Title: Cleanse
Author: silver_magess
Rating: PG-13 for mentions of violence and death
Warnings: Introspection of sorts, vaguely implied m/m
Prompt: Rurouni Kenshin, Enishi/Kenshin: hair fetishization - blood and snow
Word count: : 307
Summary: Enishi's hair serves as a reminder of what he needs to do.
Notes: Sorry for being a day late. Nano has been very distracting.

( It makes him sick. Just as sick as looking in the mirror )

Dear Yuletide author,
( rest under the cut )

My Nano count is at a 3374 as of today.

Also, Princess Tutu is one of the most lovely anime I have had the privilege of watching in a long, long time. The use of music, coupled with a good plot that I can't instantly and magically guess the end of with a serious case of "Can't Spit it Out," being done right for a change all make it a worthwhile investment on my part.

Admittedly, I have a good reason. Some stress from some health insurance related stuff and just the general distraction of rp means I've neglected this journal, so here I am, a few months it seems after not saying anything. I also have two big writing projects on the way, and hopefully some smaller ones.

1. I'm particpating in Yuletide again. Last year, I really loved the fic I recieved and I found the s-cry-ed fic I wrote to be an interesting experience. I'm hoping this year I'll do even better now that I know what to expect.

2. I'm doing nanowrimo this year. Admittedly I might be crazy, but I never fic anymore, compared to how much I did in college, when I actually had less time. I'm hoping that nano might get me back into some much needed habits. I'm not going to be really formal about it, because hey, I lead a very stressful life at times and I'm essentially writing a bad high school AU. So far, my word count is at 1720.

I also hope to actually do some more prompts for warriorslash's challenge and for musoumeme. The month looks to be very exciting.

I hate Taylor Swift's song "You Belong With Me." Hate it. Being jealous of Cheerleaders? Never cool. Always lame.

I was not a cheerleader myself or anything near a popular kid, just the quiet, overweight, kinda slovenly lump, but even then I found that whole bitch cheerleader thing gag worthy, because you know, most of the cheerleaders in my school: totally not like that.

To those of you who have experienced bad cheerleaders, I am truly sorry, but really not all of them are blond bitches who pick on people. Bitchiness knows no clique/social group/gender/sexuality/race/species.

And really, there's a whole lot more I could rant about concerning that song, but I wont. Not worth it at all.

Mass Effect has made me love my Xbox360 even more. Shepard can be played as either a kickass male or a kickass female, and if you choose to play him/her as a Paragon (aka the goody two shoes route) he/she still comes off as incredibly kick ass. And well, just... I already can't wait for part two. Seriously.

Also, the D Grayman Anime is surprisingly good for an adaptation for a long running action type series. And the filler episodes are actually good and not boring. More anime could learn from it's example.

The Sengoku Basara Anime was good too, but it was obviously based on a video game and aimed more at fans of said game, as it could have used more episodes to expand on certain plot elements: Keiji negotions with Motochika and the others, a little more character development for the Oda forces and a tad more Ieyasu among other things. Still a lot of fun though.

I love my xbox 360. And I love Viva Pinata. So cute.

Still can't believe that I didn't end up buying a ps3. Ah, what can I say, other than that Sony keeps dropping the ball?

Oh wiki, don't be lying to me when you say that SW3 is now going to be out for the PS3 and PS2 as well as the Wii. It's not nice.

And Koei, about DW6: Wu looks like they joined the circus. No really. Sun Jian and Sung Quan are hot though.

Here's another Doujinshi post from me.



Title: Ho no Ji
Artist: Unknown
Circle: Unknown
Characters/Pairings: KanetsuguxMasamune and MagoichixKeiji
Notes/Warnings: The KaneMasa stuff is really genish while the MagoKeiji stuff is a little more obvious. It's all incredibly weird crack near as I can tell.

Edited to fix a few links and to add a title. Thanks turdburgler for the translation.

No more fluids/food near the computer, because I DO NOT want to buy another new keyboard. Though I do like the fact that this one's keys have the different little short cuts printed on them.

But, yeah so not doing that again.
