I'm moving again, today actually, and I'm still not finished cleaning up. The packing's pretty much done though; I've just got my computer and this ginormous box of books to go.

Still in the good 'ol LV, just around the corner pretty much. A friend from work and his wife invited me and I said yes, because it would be a lot cheaper than an apartment, and I'd have a room all my own (not just some little alcove out of the way). Plus, it's not an old beat up trailer that's seen better days. And, I get a ride to and from work everyday.

And, somehow, I've become obsessed with Pokemon again. I honestly have no idea how that happened. One minute, I was playing Tales of Symphonia, writing a few fanfictions and BAM! I got this weird idea for a crossover and I was lost. Damnit. Oh well, it'll end soon enough. Probably when I've beaten Pearl and chained a few shinies from that one (I've already beaten Diamond).

I refuse to write any fanfiction for it. REFUSE! (I might not stay strong...no...I will stay strong).

Maybe I'll try for once a month?

I've been writing fanfiction again, though it's Tales of Symphonia. Also, I somehow got the drawing/creative but tonight and for the last four hours have drawn a picture, taken a digital photo, uploaded it to my computer and turned it into the icon I now have set as my default. Phew.

It's baby Lloyd...holding on to his father's hand...

I have another bit of the picture for a banner I was planning, but tonight this is what I was able to come up with.

Okay, off to start yet another fanfiction I have no intentions of ever finishing...

Disclaimer: I don't own Tales of Symphonia. Rather, I don't own the rights to it; I do have the game.

Summary: Lloyd remembers the stars.
Spoilers: None really.

Thanks to the wind, the power got knocked out and I didn't get to write. It came back on this morning some time, but I was afraid to turn my computer back on with the wind still going strong.

On the other hand, I went to the grocery store. It was easy walking there because the wind was pushing me. Walking back with two bags of groceries was difficult, since I was walking against the wind. I couldn't breathe. But, I got home okay. And, about an hour ago, I turned my computer back on and downloaded a J-Pop song, the opening theme to the Japanese version of Tales of Symphonia. I'm glad it wasn't done for the gamecube version, otherwise I would have never played the game...I would have just sat around listening to the opening them, lol. As it is, I still like watching the pretty pictures. Pretty pretty pictures.

Okay, I'm going to write a quick fic. About Lloyd and Kratos. Because I can. And because I didn't write, even with pen and paper when I could have. Silly me.

Later!

I should be sleeping right now, so that at midnight I can begin my odyssey into the world of hurt that will be introduced with me staying up for twenty-four hours straight trying to write. But I'm too sleepy to actually sleep. So, I'm going to mess about, then see what happens at midnight, or see if I fall asleep at ten like I do every night.

Oh yeah, my boss was petting a co-worker's tiger. He really really likes that tiger. A lot. He asked that it be given to him.

Bye!

My back hurts :(

I may call in to work tomorrow if it doesn't quit and go to the doctor.

Other than that, it's been a pretty good day. I actually wore a skirt. I'm not ever going to do that again though, because I keep tripping on it when I go upstairs, and the wheels of my chair kept rolling on it. I suppose I could wear a shorter skirt...nah. If I lose weight, possibly.

Okay, I'm gonna take a nice hot shower to see if relaxing my muscles will work, and then go to bed. I wouldn't even be on the computer now if it weren't for my vow to post every single day. So, here's to posting every single day!

Sometimes I really hate riding the bus. It leaves me feeling so drained and empty, that by the time I get home and get something to eat (or not) I'm ready to take a shower and go to bed. Even if it's only 7:30.

On the other hand, there is no way in hell I am going to get a car in this town. So, I'll put up with the exhaustion, at least until I can move into an apartment closer to where I work.

I have a Wacom tablet, and today I decided to draw a little.




Ain't 'e cute?

A new year. A new day. So, let's see if I can keep up with that goal of writing something every single day. Even if it's just to pop in and say "Yo."

I need to go to Kinko's so I can print out my novel. I've read through it and decided that it is definitely worth saving and editing, and it doesn't need as much editing as I thought...just a lot of fleshing out and, in several cases, rewriting entirely. So, I'm going to have a hard copy of it to scribble all over and make notes for editing.

This coming Saturday, I'm going to try writing 50,000 words in a day. That is, from midnight to midnight, write until I can't move. Let's see how many words I can come up with.

So, once again, it is Saturday, and once again I embark upon a quest find a coat! And an appropriate outfit to wear to the company Christmas party. However, this should not be as ridiculous as last week's failed endeavor as I will be going to a store I know has things in my size.

Also, I got my new phone and it works great! *waves at libra_traveller*

Text messaging is so much easier with a qwerty keypad (and I absolutely love that qwerty is a real word according to Firefox, LOL). Qwerty qwerty qwerty! It's my new favorite word, right up there with onomatopoeia (and I spelled it right! Whoo!).

Anyone else have favorite words that are nearly impossible to spell? Supercalifragilisticexpiallidocious counts.
