azuriteOw. Whilst chewing ravioli or lip-syncing to my now-meager collection of MP3s, I think I snapped my jaw, because it hurts like hell now whenever I open my mouth. Let this be a lesson-- keep your mouth shut when it shouldn't be open! To add injury to... injury, I feel like I have a bruise or something under my left breast. It's the kind of feeling that gets me worried if I'm going to have heart problems or breathing problems soon-- neither of which I need for another 60 years or so. Blah, and my back... stupid chair with its lack of attached cushions...
Anyway. So I've been working on, of all things, Prophecy Girl Chapter 9. Yes, 9. I haven't got Chapter 3 out yet, but I'm working on 9. Atlantis is going to kill me. ^_^ Actually, that particular Chapter is very nearly done, save a few dueling scenes. And it led to a question that I asked on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
playthedamncard, though it might not seem related at all. Plus I went on a fanart and card image hunt, looking for variants and similar cards to Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. -_- It suddenly occurs to me now that I should be looking for them under their original names... *hits self* Baka~!
I need to check out some Marik Structure decks and read pages re: the anime cards and their effects (one thing I hate about the dub-- the fact that they change the appearance of the cards so that they don't look like the Japanese *or* the English TCG!). Yep yep, Marik vs. Téa in Prophecy Girl! That's no secret...
While I was looking at stuff, I happened upon the latest fragmented summary of Yu-Gi-Oh-- I believe we're up to episode 213, now! Wow, Yu-Gi-Oh is longer than Sailor Moon... (not as long as Dragonball, but ugh, come on). In this particular ep, Kaiba ends up venturing into the Memory World and runs into... Kisara! And, unlike everyone else in the MW, Kisara can see him! Can everyone else realize that I'm just MAD with fic ideas because of this? And apparently Janime.net's updated their Seto/Kisara fanart section since I last went there-- I found some pretty neat pics, though a few of them look like doujin covers. Damn, I wish I were able to find Seto/Kisara or Anzu/anyone doujin at Fanime... grr. The one plus side of being in LA is that I'll probably be able to go to AX next year, just because it's so damn close to "home."
Hey, something interesting.
Azurite's 3rd challenge. The other two (Briefcase Challenge and Anzu Bashes Back! challenge are still open, and for those of you that received individual challenges from me (Harlequine, Atlantis, and Sorceress of Midnight Skies, as far as I know), lemme know when you finish your stuff!
Any and all are welcomed to participate in this... my third Yu-Gi-Oh fic challenge. This follows roughly the same lines as the drabble/500 line/title challenge that's been circulating around lately.
In 100-1000 words, make use of the following:
Line: "I don't want love to destroy me like it has done my family" (or some close variant thereof)
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Pairing: Pref. S/A, but will go for landlocked (no-pairing) and other het. couples as well... well, so long as it's not Shizuka/Seto. Then I have license to KILL YOU. *sweet smile*
GO! Comment here if you'd like to take it on, and feel free to link to it as well.
I have to do the dishes and get to sleep... though I'd like to finish WDKY10 soon. I mean, seriously. I've pretty much finished packing; I need a few more boxes for some stray books, binders, and the like, but I'm pretty much done. Even all my clothes. I gave Mom back all her socks, too. O_O Shocking, isn't it? I know of the things I haven't put in boxes, it includes:
* My hamper
* My garbage can (it's so cool because it's huge and purple)
* My PGSM manga 1-9
* My video game binders
* A few artbooks
* My rollerblades
* My stereo and remote
* My Sassaby makeup box (Caboodles... whatever)
* My necklace/bracelet stand and my earring rack
* My 2 CD Binders... I still need to burn about 10 more CDs.
I know it might LOOK like a lot, but it isn't... okay, maybe the CDs are, since they take about 40 minutes to burn and everything, but I managed to take care of the majority of my MP3s today. I have a list of the remaining Program Files to grab, and aside from the obvious (My Documents folder), I'll be done with CDs. Whoo-hoo!
My schedule this week looks PACKED though.
Tues. - Mom's taking off work to... do whatever. Probably mope. I don't like being in the house on the 20th; it just gets too stuffy and uncomfortable. So I'm following up on tradition and going to Land's End. I'm considering doing an actual ritual of sorts out there, but we'll see what I can scrimmage up. If worse comes to worse, I can do a silent prayer with rosemary.
Wed. - I was supposed to go out with Steph and Michelle Bates (!) Wed., but if it ends up taking up the whole day, I won't be able to pull it off. I know I'm meeting Joe after work... perhaps I can use up that Aquarium ticket I have, and maybe if we're lucky, the boat cruise tix as well. Plus it'd be nice to use up the last of my RTA tickets and maybe snag some Trish's donuts before I go.
Thurs. - Dad's going to come by in Kathleen's pickup to get my stuff. I don't know how long that will take, especially if he a) is by himself, b) complains, or c) generally makes a mountain out of a molehill. We'll have to see. ^_^ I have faith in my Dad though-- he's not only a kick-ass teacher, but a Stanford trained one! :DDDDD Oh yeah, my dad r0x0rz! After Dad's gotten my stuff though, I'm free for the rest of the day. I've got Steph/Michelle lined up for a movie and some food, but I know I wanted to swing by Cris's at night and catch some Bruce Campbell. >_< Maybe I can ask Dad to come early...
Fri. - Mom's taking off work again (!!) and is actually coming to the airport to see me off! I see it as kind of a waste of her time, since she can't actually come into the airport with me-- she can only go as far as the Security Checkpoint. But it's a nice thought, so I won't complain. As long as I'm in the A or B boarding group, I don't care how long she bawls. ^_^ Yes, and for any other interested (HINTHINT~!) parties, I'm taking off from Oakland at 10:35am. So I'll be at the airport as late as 9:30... aaaaaand, pretty much, leaving my house around 8:00. Anyone wanna come see me off? Lemme know, I'm gonna miss you all!!!
Oh yeah, and on a completely different topic: where the hell did Marik get a cape from? Moreover, how did he dye his once-lavender shirt BLACK? It's the same shirt, too. Sleeveless hoodie. I'm like, totally positive. This is the same as the Duelist Kingdom complex, where they had to spend at least 3 or 4 days there, but no one was walking around with luggage or a backpack or even a purse.
I'm thinking, why the heck would Mai go around without her perfume and a spare tampon!? And Téa, without her MACE? What is the world coming to?
I was joking. At least about the last bit.

Date: 2004-07-19 07:12 pm (UTC)You're working on chapter 9?!?!?!?! You bad bad bad Az. Damn right. I want to kill you and right now I have just as much license as you would if someone wrote a Seto/Shizuka fic for your challenge. But if I killed you then you wouldn't get ANYTHING done anymore and I'd be left feeling bereft and guilty. I know what you were doing though, hiding the Prophecy Girl info in the middle, closer to the beginning of your post so that when I got to commenting it had been a while and I may have forgotten... Well, I didn't. How am I supposed to beta that uber-cool fic if you don't write the damn chapters in order, you silly gooose?
QUACK?
Date: 2004-07-20 02:15 am (UTC)Hehe, in any case, I much look forward to a challenge response to #3... bad me is chugging out challenges way too fast, and I still have ones to answer, too! But I'm trying to finish up some of my "actual" fanfics instead... WDKY10 is ALMOST DONE!!! ^_^ *JOY!!*
And yes, I am one sneaky writer, am I not? Bwahaha!
Oh... challenge!
