12:06 pm	Jeez, I haven't been here in forever o_O Uh. Oops? Anyway, uh, just copy/pasting something from a friend's flocked LJ so I can post a link to it in my list of Best Things Ever. Ahem. ( Polysamachan's creation theory ) (Comment on this)

9:05 pm	( Magic Kaito fic: Ghosts are just the memories of your surroundings ) (Comment on this)
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007
3:25 pm	I should probably just start hiding all of my terrible, terrible, badly inspired Avatar fic here. Also, for the masses: Jet-is-alive fic, or Jet-as-a-ghost fic? The former would likely have lots of ack-shun and kicking butt and probably even a little Jet/Zuko on the side, while the latter would likely be more 'quiet' and have more ghosts and likely no Jet/Zuko or really much of anyone besides Jet (+/- Smellerbee and Longshot, Jin appearances). Both would have far too much with the Blue Spirit. Thoughts/opinions? (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:34 pm	Now with extra crack theory 8D An Avatar fic, in progress if I don't finish it before I leave (which it doesn't look like I will). I don't think I'm going to be very organized with this journal unless/until I have to move here. Guess the characters if you can? 1. His temperature was always a little higher than everyone else's, had been ever since he'd been a baby; his mother told him it was because he was born in summer (near the end, when it was almost autumn already) and the sun put its love into him, and made him warmer than anyone else. He believed it then, but not very much now. (He met her many years ago, when he was young and traveling the world, exploring before he had to take the throne; she was ten years older and had run away from her betrothed rather than marry him; and somehow, between the both of them escaping their respective duties (he for a few years and she forever), they managed to find a connection.) 2. The first time it was his turn to watch the fire, he fell asleep it nearly went out; somehow he woke up just on time to coax it back to life from glowing coals and ash, but it was a near thing. He was highly praised the next day, and he never told anyone about the dream he had before he woke up, where the fire was already out and he blew it back into being; he never let the fire go out again under his watch. (They travel the world together, seeing the sights in the Earth Kingdom, like OmaShu's young, crazy king, or the Cave of Two Lovers (though they do not go in); in time they reach the south pole, and, much to his surprise, when he asks if he can stay with her, she says yes.) 3. When he was young, he loved when Gran Gran made him tea: the taste, the smell, the way it warmed him from the inside and how it always tasted better with company; as he grew, he learned to hate it, because it was what they drank, what they liked, and they were not what he wanted to be. (Though he misses the warmth of his home and his family and how the price of tea is not so high from import taxes, he thinks he has never been happier than when he is with her. Some days he wishes he could bring her back with him, but no, that could never be.) 4. He is always hungry, it seems; even when he has eaten, he never feels really full. His sister says it's probably a teenaged boy thing (though where she met other teenaged boys, he'd like to know) but Gran Gran says it's the fire in his belly that needs fuel to burn and keep his body running. He'd like to tell her that it's the least logical thing he's heard all week, but she's Gran Gran, and you don't argue with Gran Gran; he doesn't want anyone to know that he feels defensive because she seems so right. (She bears him a daughter in late fall, and he thinks surely this happiness is greater than even that happiness he felt before; and then she bears him a son some years later in early summer, and he learns he can be happier still. And all would be perfect, he thinks, if he could just share with them his own home - and though he knows it will happen someday, he doubts it will happen without bloodshed.) 5. "Look," he tells his sister one day, "I'm just saying that if I had your powers, I'd keep my weirdness to myself." (He begins noticing the signs almost immediately, but he puts them out of his mind, telling himself that they cannot mean what he thinks they mean. Then one day he sees his son playing with fire, and knows they must leave. As soon as that spring ends, he kisses his wife good-bye, holds his daughter one last time, and leaves with their son, her brother, to return to his homeland; he thinks he will never see the rest of his family again.) After They have tea together once, after the war is over and balance is beginning to be restored; the man brews and serves, and the boy accepts it without comment. "It's good that this is over," the man says. "Yeah," the boy replies; privitely, he likes being able to enjoy tea again. "Maybe I'll stop by from time to time." The man smiles broadly. "Good, good! And bring your girlfriend and sister with you; tea is always good for appealing to the ladies." The boy reddens, embarrassed, and ducks out, but can't keep from looking back over his shoulder; maybe he will stop by again... ---- Yeah, okay, I've got nothing. Except season three starts soon, and it'll sure as all hell knock this crack theory out of the water, so I figured I'd better write it quick before then. (Comment on this)
8:23 pm	More stupid ideas ...Okay, no way is that "removing redundant entries" thing happening today. Instead... I, uh, may be creating flistship_30 sometime in the near future. Because it suddenly occurred to me how shippable candy__chan and jeva_chan were. And then I was enabled. (SEE KEYWORDS, CANDY. SEE KEYWORDS.) S-so. ( Thirty Themes for Candy/Jeva ) I may go through and tweak/pull from this for general flistship_30 themes, in the event that I go through with it. (Comment on this)

1:48 pm	It is can be Socchan tiem naow Okay, I am officially declaring now, the brief period of time between when my Comp II class got out early and when Anime Club starts, to be Socchan Time, in which Socchan will do Socchan-related things for once and not just RP the way she has been lately. Minor emo speedbump last night. I really, really wish it wasn't so much easier to lie to my dad than to tell him that four hours online is like four hours of hanging with my friends, but that's the way it is. Arguing with him gets me nowhere fast; lying at least gets me where I want to go first. Thankfully, the emo was completely flattened by my post in CFUD, in which Sonoko got a little bit of gossiping done, but mostly may-or-may-not have crushed on Aerrow. (We're both - player and character, that is - still trying to figure it out, I think. Someone stop me from apping Stork.) Have gotten the go-ahead from my Comp II teacher to write about lack of female action figures and what kind of message we're sending girls these days anyway. Wanted to write about pet rats, but it had to be either what I wrote about in the "letter to the editor" assignment or something vaguely political, and that's about as political as I get these days (short of writing Colbert Report specials that never happened, which I will hopefully get to sometime this week, Ningen; oh, and my Comp II teacher also says I should e-mail the man himself and tell him about this opportunity he missed). Anyway, anything anyone else wants to contribute on the matter would be A++. Also, haet having to write outlines :< I may just have to write a rough draft of the paper itself by Thursday and rip the outline from that, mumble grumble pout. And that's about all I have for now. Will be going to watch alien frog things shortly :3b Want more characters soon. Edit: Okay, okay, I cave! http://socchan.insanejournal.com/ Someone point me to where I can get all that nifty "move your entries to your new journal" stuff. (Comment on this)

4:57 pm	Quire Music Quire starts up again today, so I figured I'd finally get off my butt and start uploading all the music of ours I've got so far. A quick reminder, The Quire is Eastern Iowa's GLBT(A) chorus, so yes, spelling intentional. There are also some songs that deal with GLBT issues, so be aware of that when downloading. ( June '06 Concert - The Marriage Question ) ( December '06 - Frostiana ) ( May '07 - Who Are the Brave? ) Zips are on SendSpace, individual songs are on MF. They'd all be on MF, but it was hating me earlier, so I figured I'd try somewhere else first. I may make mirrors later. (Comment on this)

3:53 pm	CFUD trio of awesome-tastic I. Was kinda scarce-ish yesterday. Except on CFUD. But I have a good excuse? See, I was right in the middle of one of the best threads in my life so far. Thread starts here, gets more interesting here, and then the best bout of bad timing ever occurs here. (For the record, it was just after I'd pulled a distraction out of my hat that would hopefully get Sonoko off topic. AND THEN THE TOPIC SHOWS UP IN PERSON. IT WAS HILARIOUS.) It will be so hard to beat that thread in awesomeness. Lina, Sonoko and Naesala are now officially my CFUD dork-trio of awesome-tastic. I just. Spam so easily with them ♥ It's wonderful ♥♥♥ And I never saw it coming, soawesome. I am just all happy and squishy inside after it. ...Oh, and I am now Audience!Married to Aerrow. Just so you know. IN OTHER NEWS: these two posts on the_lj_herald. Which, provided LJ isn't completely stupid about their policy and judges adult-marked content more lightly, and also probably makes the "other people can mark this" thing as optional (like tags), is something I could live with. I also kinda let my mom know about my minor plans to get my lip pierced if it doesn't regain feeling. Which it probably will, but still. I figured it would be a good idea to give her a heads up. ...Considering how much she freaked out over the idea, I'd almost call it a really good idea. Or a really bad idea possibly. I don't think I've ever freaked out my mom this much. Or at least not in several years. WTF, world. Edit: Yet more gay baseball chapters. I am stunned. (Comment on this)

7:23 pm	Pros and Cons of Being Numb Fact: It's been slightly over twenty-four hours after the surgery, and my lower lip is still numb. (Most of the left side, creeping into the right, and the majority of my chin to be precise.) Judging by the reactions of the staff when I asked when the numbness was supposed to wear off during their "Are you doing okay?" call this morning, I'm guessing this is not usual. The second call suggests that tissue may have swelled around the nerve(s) responsible, since it was pretty close to nerves anyway, and confirms that the vast majority of people who undergo such treatment do regain feeling sooner or later. Con for being Miss Numb Lip: Chris put it about as well as I could on the ride home, actually: Chris: Wow, that could really screw with your first kiss if it's permanent. Socchan: XD You're telling me. Pro for being Miss Numb Lip: (Conversation continued:) Chris: Though it would be sort of cool if you regained feeling then. Socchan: What, in the middle of the kiss? Yeah, that would be kinda cool. Pro: If I bite my lip, I will never feel it. Con: If I bite my lip, I will Never. Feel. It. Con: Not having feeling in my lip is entirely awkward, and I do have to face the fact that I may end up as part of the statistic minority that never regains feeling. Chewing and, well, just about anything else with this lip would be strange. Also, it is impossible to actually scratch it effectively. If I can't feel the scratching, then it still itches. Pro: Not that I'd actually been considering it seriously before now, but man, this would make getting a pierced lip so much less hassle, I'd think. (Surprisingly enough, it was this fact that gave me the most perspective on the whole thing. Go figure.) That's it for now, will get to typing up story shortly. (Comment on this)

8:12 pm	Quick post-a-ma-thing Mostly a drop-by post to talk all about my oral surgery woes 8Db Which I'm sure you're all fabulously keen to hear about. Long story short, the antibiotics were working (mostly) for the pain, but didn't actually do much for the fact that the socket was healing wonky. So the doctor went in and ( Cut for the squeemish ). So that one socket is basically back to when I'd just had the tooth removed. Thankfully, I can still chew with the other side of my mouth, so it should be more-or-less all good. Numbness is just wearing off right about now, and I've got more pain meds (though not with Codine) available for the next few days, and a slight renewal on the antibiotics. Here's hoping for good sleep tonight ¦Db PS: App DC/MK characters for CFUD, I'll beta for you. Also, volunteer to read my stupid unfinished (lemon) fic so I can get the damn thing finished and stop feeling insecure about it. (Comment on this)

9:23 pm	First time in a while I actually LIKE my "tired" icon's emo overtones Brain: Okay, we've replied to all of our comments and cataloged Lurker Day posts to the best of our abilities. It is can be whining tiem naow? Socchan: ...Sure, why not. ( Whining under here ) ( Translated version, for those who can't read Borkified text but are still interested in me whining ) I close by saying, Thank God I have gay, gay baseball manga to read to cheer me up. READ IT, IT HAS HIMURA'S FEMALE BASEBALL-ORIENTED PERSONALITY DOUBLE, I'LL UPLOAD THE FIRST FIVE CHAPTERS FOR YOU AND EVERYTHING. Edit: Looks like there was an update to A Different Perspective that I missed too; score for a bigger reading binge! Edit 2: And I'm still looking for volunteer readers, by the way. Want volunteers plz kthx? ♥? (Comment on this)
4:59 pm	Whee, speed entry! Fifteen minutes before my ride leaves and this is the first time I've had any real time on the 'net today. Still going through f'list entries to try and dig up Lurker Day posts. It looks like it went fantastically well - for sheer volume, if nothing else! - this time around, so I've got extra peeling going on for three degrees of separation. (Uh, by the way, I will definitely get around to fulfilling lingering requests ^^a It just probably won't happen until after I'm done sifting through FOUR PAGES OF ENTRIES, DEAR GOD.) Oh, and if you know of any I missed, please consider telling me about them so I can link them as well? ♥♥♥? Sadly, I still do not have the Hakuba/Kaito fanfic finished that I was hoping to today. Frankly, I've started to feel insecure about it. ("OH GOD, IS THE WRITING TOO PURPLE? THE WRITING IS TOO PURPLE. ALSO, BRAIN, WHAT KIND OF A WORD IS 'WOTE' ANYWAY AND WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SNEAK IT INTO MY FIC? I'M PRETTY DARN SURE IT ISN'T A REAL WORD.") So if anyone feels like giving what I have/the final product a look-over before I actually post? Plz to volunteer ♥ On the other hand, I am making nice progress on the next chapter of Communications, though God help us all if I start to doubt word choices like I'm doing with the fic in the paragraph above this one. EPIC FAILURE. Oh, and expect de-stressing in a post later tonight, as I have to close this one up now. I'll try to keep it brief. (Comment on this)

3:45 pm	Happy Lurker Day Celebration! ...What. I like the kitty banner. I've wanted to use it since I first saw the pic; I just didn't have any text ideas on the first Lurker Day. Anyway, love you all ♥ Lurkers and non-lurkers alike ^_~ So for the Lurkers, I'm hopefully going to have some pretty Magic Kaito fic up for you within the next few days (I'M LATE, I'M SORRY, I'M SO SORRY, I APOLOGIZE TO THE WOOOOORLD----!). And for non-Lurkers and de-Lurkers, comment here with a fandom + character/pairing/group of characters/whatever (+ prompt), and I will write you at least three "things" of my choice. They could be haiku, they could be one-sentence fics, they could be personal canon, they could make up a fic together, or I might even sneak a couple of doodles in there. ...In fact, to make it extra sexy, de-Lurkers get at least five. And now, I have some de-lurking of my own to do before time runs out ¦Db I'mma finally get to those places I didn't even manage to de-lurk since the first Lurker Day! Sort-of! Wish me luck ;) (Comment on this)
3:24 pm	Lurker Day Fall '07 You know what this is for, folks! Or possibly you don't if this is your first Lurker Day. If that's the case, this is the post where I like to collect links to all the Lurker Day posts I can find, because I'm vain like that. If you don't want a post linked - or do, and it's not up here - let me know and I'll make the appropriate edit. (Friends Locked entries will also be linked, with a note that they're locked.) ( Links go here ) No introductory posts this year, it looks like, but still a good crop overall ♥ I-I'm actually running a bit late on my posts this time around I blame Pokémon, so I might end up posting more stuff Tuesday-ish that was intended for today. So if I have any Lurkers who still need to psych up to do the big de-lurking thing, you get a bit of a rain check ;) I will be keeping my eyes peeled for more posts as long as I can, though with dates and times conspiring against me this year, that might be a little harder than I'd like. Feel free to link me up to your posts and save me trouble ♥ Here's to three or more degrees of separation! (Comment on this)

4:00 pm	Lurker Day Banners IV: Return of the comic pages Six more banners today, hopefully another four or so tomorrow. A real mix of comics for these, plus one kitty from imreallysad.com. Edit: Three more banners up today; miscounted yesterday. Two more pics from series from yesterday, one from something else that I. K-kinda don't remember. Uh. Enjoy? ( Banners under here ) Outta time, gotta run! (Comment on this)
2:04 pm	BREAKING NEWS GAY MARRIAGE LEADS TO ZOMBIE OUTBREAK IN SMALL IOWA TOWN. More at eleven. ...Okay no, not really, but I am planning to copy the pages and save them so, when the article dies (which I assume it will), I will still have working records of it. Also, total of 27 marriage licenses issued before the ruling was. Overturned? Overruled? Just... read it yourself or something. Also, if we don't have coverage on the Colbert Report to the effect of my first line up there, I will be a sad puppy. ("I told you, Nation, that accepting equal rights for gay and lesbian individuals could only lead to ruin! And now the undead are out there, marching the streets of Iowa, spreading their filthy zombie virus to hoards of innocent pig farmers! You should be ashamed of yourself." DO YOU SEE HOW AWESOME IT WOULD BE. DO YOU.) Though, you know, coverage at all would be cool too. Which I'm kinda expecting actually, what with the hugeness of the issue. In other news, I'm currently working on new Lurker Day banners, and hope to have some done and up by the end of the day. Spammage ahoy! (Comment on this)

6:30 pm	Really quick entry This entry will be like lightning! Or Speed Racer. Just really really fast, because the first action-y Beast post is up, and I volunteered Sonoko to be chased/scratched-up ¦Db I will only really stop to say that libraries are like crack to me, and our library especially. Not only do we have a discard shelf where you can run off with no longer frequently checked out books at no cost (I have nabbed many, including, believe it or not, The Phantom Tollbooth, and nearly grabbed a hardcopy edition of The Dark Lord of Derkholm, but didn't only because I already have a paperback copy at home), we have a manga section that threatens to stretch onto a third shelf, and our young adult section includes light novels. Which is why I'm able to walk off with the first six Slayers light novels tonight. Why I want to is entirely CFUD's fault. If Sonoko's going to be hanging out with Lina Inverse, I'mma wanna know her canon better. The phrase "like a house on fire" comes to mind, and not just because of magic. Really not just because of magic. Okay, it's mostly because of magic. But also considerably because of not!crushes and Sonoko's inability to leave well enough alone. I close by saying that I hope to catch at least a little bit of tomorrow's Zombie March, possibly also pictures, but doubt I'll be participating in it myself. And now, I must go have Sonoko chased around the camp >DDD (Comment on this)

7:15 pm	Sweet zombie Jesus! From the Quire mailing list: "Passing along this HUGE news! Iowa's statute restricting marriage only to different-gender couples has been STRUCK DOWN." For those of you who were unaware, Iowa's had a restriction on marriage since it was made a state. And now it's gone. I think I need to celebrate. In many, many ways. Oh, and on the fan side of GLBT-themed news, as posted on dc_yaoi, Detective Conan finally has on-screen canon gay. Which might not be quite as huge, in the grand scheme of things, or at least the immediate scheme of things, but considering that it's in a shounen manga and the characters involved are not actually completely bishounen/effeminate, I think it's a fairly significant step. I can only declare my everlasting love for whoever was behind getting that in the comic (and to whoever translates that chapter first). Now if you'll excuse me, I believe I'll be dancing in the aisles. ...Of my mind. (Comment on this)

8:46 pm	Toothy news Went in to get my mouth checked out today. Again. On the plus side, three of my four sockets are healing not only well, but remarkably well. Better than the average sockets after this amount of time. On the minus side, the remaining socket is decidedly not doing very well. The doctor poked into it a little, and we had an x-ray taken, and there are no bone or tooth fragments there to cause this whatever it is causing. Some antibiotics were prescribed, so I'm hoping those will do the trick. I'm also really glad that they weren't the first resort for this. Over-use of antibiotics = BAD. Once the course is over, I'm going in again and we'll see if it helped. If it did, yay; if not, the doctor will go in there and "clean things out", and hopefully that will be that. If that is not that, I will be quite miffed. Oh yeah, and on Friday, Sonoko gets terrorized in camp :Db HOORAY FOR DOING STUFF. (Comment on this)
