Pretty's Life

Sweet Jesus, Just Kill Me

2008-04-10T22:57:00.002-04:00

Listening to: the bats in the roof

Everything I have ever written of any importance... it's gone. Just gone. Erased out of existence. Every bit of it. Half-finished fanfics, the first few chapters of my novel, essays, school work, MY LIFE. It's gone. Forever. The end.

Someone kill me.

-gasp- Pretty's getting a job?!

2008-03-06T15:29:00.003-05:00

Listening to: Elvis' "My Baby Left Me"

Yes, that's right. I am applying for a job at a cute little clothing store. I know, it's a shocker. I even surprised myself just thinking about it. But, I want a lap top and I want to go on the senior trip to Europe, so... I'm going to have to get money somewhere.

As a result, I will be writing even less than I am now (I know, how could updates possibly come any slower?), but I will try to find time for a few one-shots at the very least.

In other news, I just got over my sinus infection... but, I think I'm getting some kind of cold now. I guess going out to the hot-tub when it was 20 degrees and snowing wasn't such a good idea. It felt nice, though, until I had to run back to the house in a wet robe.

Yuu Yuu FANTABULOUS!

2008-02-25T20:45:00.004-05:00

Listening to: "Make it Through the Rain" by Mariah Carey

Ah! I finally got my Yuu Yuu Hakusho DVDs! And I couldn't be happier! I've watched the first ninety or so episodes (all in four days!) but... I've stopped at the point where Kurama meets Yomi in the Demon World. I can't bring myself to watch the rest! I know it will be the end of the series and then... Oh, I just can't do it.

But I suppose that's what fanfiction is for, ne? To pick up where the original maker left off.

-sigh- I might go try to force myself to watch them later.

New Story...?

2008-02-18T18:23:00.003-05:00

Listening to: Brandy's "Full Moon"

-sigh- Just got my computer back up after three days of absolute computer-less agony! But, it has given me a lot of time to think and day-dream... and catch up on my trig. homework. But, good news! When I finally did get back on, I had updates of two of my most favorite fanfics waiting for me in my mail box! "Seven Feudal Fairy Tales" and "Black Widow Miko." If you haven't read them... How have you lived?!

Anyway, I was on A Single Spark earlier today and came across a challenge that really peaked (is that the write usage?) my interest. And I think I might just take it up. But I am a bit hesitant, because of my tendency to start things and, well, not finish them.

It was posted by darkmousey and is really quite ingenius! The conditions are that Kagome is made invisible and mute and Sesshoumaru is the only one who can see her. Doesn't that sound interesting?

I've been thinking about it a lot and I want to make it cannon, of course. I want to make someone curse Kagome (perhaps Naraku) so that no one can see or hear her. The group thinks she's been kidnapped and don't know what to do, but she's standing right next to them! She can't make contact with them, so just decides to follow them while they try to find her. Inuyasha gets an idea that Sesshoumaru took her, they go to confront him, and when they do Kagome realizes that he can see her! And madness insues...

Well, I like it. But I have to do more planning.

Also, my DVDs still haven't come in and I'm getting anxious. When will this torture end?!

Isn't It Just Perfect?!

2008-02-14T17:37:00.003-05:00

There it is! Just look at it! My beautfiful, fantabulous, perfect banner made by mickeythemousey, whom I could just never get tired of thanking.

I put it again at the bottom of the page, because I'll never get tired of admiring it. XD

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Listening to: "Cheer For Me" by 95 South

Sorry for the choice of music, but when I'm excited, I tend to revert to idiocy. And I am ECSTATIC!!!

A few weeks ago, my fanfic "Eggs" was nominated for Best Humor/Parody in the Dokuga Awards. Well, the voting is over and I placed THIRD!!! AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?!

So, yeah, I know it's not first, but after reading the other nominees... my goodness, it's a miracle! I still can't wrap my mind around it. The others were so good and mine was just so... silly. -shrugs- But I guess I'm doing something right, ne?

I just want to say THANK YOU!!!!!!! to anyone who voted for my baby, "Eggs"!

Oh, and this is completely off subject, but I just ordered the complete Yu Yu Hakusho series on DVD and I cannot wait for it to come in!

And have you seen the movie Curse of the Golden Flower? I watched it last night and it is just the most beautiful movie you could ever see. It is literally a moving work of art. It's my new favorite movie!

The Idiocy of Teenage Angst

2008-01-12T11:19:00.001-05:00

Listening to: Enya's "Amid the Falling Snow" ... not that it's doing anything for my mood.

Well, my boyfriend of six months just broke up with me. I guess I should be heartbroken or whatever, but to tell you the truth I'm really not. Hell, he acted more torn up about it than I was, and he's the one who broke it off. But I'm not the crying type. Not like my friend Angela who cried for a week over a boyfriend she'd only been dating for three. Poor girl needs some Valium or something, 'cause she is WEEPY. Unnecessarily so!

Actually, it's kind of a relief. Now I don't have to spend time with him and his idiot friends and I don't have to consider someone else in everything I do. Which, by the way, can drive a more self-oriented person like myself to the brink of insanity.

Anyway, he said I wasn't affectionate enough. -shrugs- I think he was just too needy. Always wanting to spend time with me and rub up all over me in public. It was annoying. And always telling me he loved me. That's sweet and all, but it wasn't true and I knew it. He was "in lust," not "in love." Immature jackass can't make sense of his own damn urges...

Teenaged couples are always claiming they're in love and shit and they're going to get married and whatever. I know three girls in my class who claim they're engaged to their boyfriends! ENGAGED! At SEVENTEEN! How STUPID can you GET?!?! Spend a year sitting next to each other in Advanced Chem., batting eye-lashes and holding hands, and they think they've been through everything! They think they can just up and marry without a plan for the future, a stable career, an education beyond high school, and love will pull them through?! As long as they're in love everything will work itself out?!?!

Dear God, they piss me off. PISS ME OFF!

...Besides, those boys are just making false promises to get into their pants. I know how thier devious minds work. They'll sleep with them a few times, decide a little awkward, inexperienced sex isn't worth throwing their life away with a girl they barely know, and leave her when they go off to college. And then she ends up at my house at three in the morning weeping all over my pretty leather couch!

And they're always complaining about how unfair and difficult their lives are. Think they've got big problems when their mom won't let them stay out past midnight or Daddy says they've got to bring their grades up or they can't go to the Snowball Dance. At least they have a father to care enough about them to set down some rules so they don't blow their entire futures on some silly, immature relationship! Let me tell you, they don't know about problems!!!

Fucking melodramatic teenagers...

Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T14:24:00.000-05:00

Listening to: "You're Makin' Me High" by Toni Braxton

Happy New Year, everyone! Mine was fantabulous! I had so much fun!

-excited- I've got all these ideas for A Thousand Little Deaths, and I can't wait to get them out! I've even got a sort of storyline that I think I'm just going to run as a series of one-shots. It'll be great. And very deep. I hope you like it. I know I do!

A Thousand Little Deaths

2007-12-31T00:55:00.000-05:00

Listening to: "All of This" by Blink-182

A Thousand Little Deaths. That's what I'm calling this little one-shot I came up with while listening to the above mentioned song. It's a very bittersweet Kagome/Kouga piece. I almost cried as I wrote it. It may turn into a series of unrelated, sad one-shots centered around Kagome. I wanted to make this first one more... froofy, but I'm tired and my mind isn't up to speed at one in the morning. -shrugs- Go figure.

I'm also having some kind of weird hot flash right now, so I think I'll go step out onto the porch for a few minutes before I go to bed.

FF.net Forums

2007-12-30T12:20:00.000-05:00

Listening to: "Oxycontin" by Necro

For the past few days I've been on the forums on fanfiction.net. Finally! People I can talk to about my unhealthy obsession! Of course, there are people at my school who like anime and fanfiction and such, but... they're immature and close-minded. The only fanfiction they read is the cliche, overused, character-bashing, unrealistic, OOC, Mary-sue shit. You know, bad fanfiction.

I got to talking to one of them (at my school) and we exchanged lists of our favorite fanfictions. Her favorites were... pitiable at best. -shakes head- The English language did not emerge unscathed. If that's the kind of dribble she reads, I doubt she could even understand the list I gave her. No, the otakus at school are not an option.

And I'm pretty sure they hate me, anyway. -shrugs- Prejudiced, close-minded bastards.

But anyway, I'm glad to have found some intelligent people to discuss fanfiction and anime with. -squeals-
