Yeah, I'm kinda floating in dark curly fuzz... So, basically, I'm not going to be writing anything that isn't incredibly spacey for a while. Probably like, a really long time actually. Hmm... I should go send that email...
(I realize this email wasn't helpful to probably anyone. Basically, I'm really out of it and won't be writing.)

One True Love
I wrote this on the spot, trying to explain something to my friend. I totally and completely believe it's all true, if you let it be.
(OTL = One True Love)
You may not meet your OTL in your living lifetime, and you may not have even heard of your OTL in your lifetime. Your OTL might not be born yet. But your OTL is someone who you would die to save, someone you could not live without. When they die, you must die, if you're together within your life time. You may know your OTL and love them with a different sort of love, but it's never enough. (It's like imprinting[Twilight] that way.) Your OTL might be your grandchild. You might never know your OTL, but then you die and go to the "after-life" and your OTL may be waiting for you there. You may be the one to wait for your OTL. It's common to find people finding their OTLs in books -- their true OTLs, the ones they couldn't live without. It's much less common in real life, but not completely unheard of. Your OTL is the basis for the people you kid yourself into believing are your love. maybe your OTL has a specific physical feature -- most of your "loves" will have it too. Maybe their personality's the strongest point. Whatever it is, you look for it in your possible partners, and it is what draws you to them. You're looking for your OTL in every one. You'll know, when you truly find it. You won't necessarily be able to recognize your OTL at first glance, but that's what love at first sight is -- the glimse of your OTL, for the first time.

Snow Day Tomorrow!
That's right, I'm planning a snow day for tomorrow. So everyone, regardless of whether or not you live remotely near me, make sure that you wear your pajamas inside out and backwards, put an unlit candle and a purple snowflake in your window and a spoon under your pillow, and do the snow dance. (It's the completely silent one.) And then, be happy when we don't have school tomorrow.

Batman, Stories, and Homework; Fanfics, Elven Dresses, and Missing Cats; Oklahoma!, Albert Speer, and Hair
Right, so I've spent the past few days watching Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. They're both really awesome. But, because of that, I haven't been focusing so much on homework, or writing, or anything. I've just been sitting back and watching movies.
I've seen Twilight twice, once with my friend and her mom and once with my boyfriend and other friend and her boyfriend because our boyfriends are twins. They look exactly alike, except that one of them has glasses. Not for long! The other twin's getting glasses soon. At least they're getting different COLORS of glasses...
I have, though, been writing a lot recently. I've had random inspiration for little bits of Strange, and am kinda in the process of redoing the entire beginning. I mean, I start writing one thing, but then it doesn't make any sense that she'd be living with some random family in the middle of the country rather than with her mother if she is living in the country, and then it doesn't make much sense that they're friends, because they won't have gone to the Academy together because he's five years older than her, but I've decided that he's basically fallen for her by the start of the story anyway, except maybe they're just friends but they're at least not strangers to each other, because that has to come in a different story I write where they fall in love completely because that's just how these things work if you meet your One True Love. And I bet you have no idea what I'm talking about even if you have read Strange and that's the point, of course. I haven't really written many short stories I'm willing to post, though.
I have a wierd relationship with homework at the moment. I have a fairly large amount, including all of these long-term projects I should be working on and tests I should be studying for right now, but I haven't been doing any of that. And if you asked me why, I honestly couldn't say. I just sorta gave up on the whole school thing, but I'll probably go back to putting at least some sort of effort out because I can get As as long as I put up a sufficient amount of effort, and like 4562145214521453% if I devote my full attention to it, which I never do, because I stop caring at 93%, which is when it starts counting as an A instead of an A-.
I recently got back into humorous fanfics, this time LotR-central. I read an amazingly hilarious one last night, and am in the process of finding more. Spoofs are just fun, which is why I love them so much. I think I'm going to be into them for a while, because of my current LotR re-obsession.
What's this about elven dresses? You think they're really awesome, too? Wait, what? You know where I can find one? I'm actually in the process of designing one, thanks for not telling me when I needed it. But yeah, I'm designing myself an elf-ish LotR-ish Leginai-ish dress, which I HOPE will be done by New Year's. Unfortunately, I'm getting really into other things at the same time, so I don't really have that much time to work on it. Currently there are 27 days, including today, that I have left to work on it. I plan on making it light blue, like my eyes, with either a dark blue or brown sash in the center. (I'm also asking people on Yahoo Answers what they think.)
My kitty cat is missing. The cute black one with white paws and underbelly named PJ. It is sad. I miss him.
The cast rehearsals for Oklahoma!, the musical that the middle school is putting on this year, have started. This means that my boyfriend has less time. Which annoys me, especially because I have to wait until like March for stage crew for that to start. I probably have to wait until like May for the stage crew for Sweeny Todd, what my school's putting on. It's actually probably a month earlier than what I said cause that's when the actual performances are and theoretically we have to go before the performances so that we might just possibly be at least a little familiar with all the techinicalities and jargon necessary for the production.
Albert Speer was Hitler's main architect and good friend. He helped the German economy during the war, but he did so using forced labor of foreigners, which is outlawed by the Geneva Conventions. He was also the original guy who said, "What Holocaust?" For the former, I'm prosecuting him in one of the mock trials my world cultures class is working on. The latter is just proof of his character -- not that I needs it. This is the big project that I eluded to earlier which I'm not working on. Which I really, really, should be, but it's so incredibly boring and I'm just going to do it all last minute. I'll do really well on everything else this marking period cause I just don't like this project at all.
I got this really awesome hair cut kind of recently, and for some reason I'm really falling in love with it these past few days. I need to blow-dry it in the mornings just because of the way timing works out and I usually have to resort to gel to get the fuzzy stuff on the top of my head to stay down in the mornings, but it's really great. I can go without blow-drying it on a weekend. It looks good on my face and in my opinion makes me look more grown up. When I'm wearing make-up and good-looking clothes, I finally look like a teenager. That's been one of my problems with maturing, and puberty; I never really thought I looked like a teenager. But now, with this hair cut, and as long as I wear good clothes, I look amazingly like a true teenager. It's great, and it makes me feel great.
Wow, this is probably the longest of all of my journal posts. Oh well, I had to say something, compared to all of the nothing I've said in a while.

Humongous Sigh
Fools, the amazingly hilarious play that the middle school performed, is over. It makes me depressed. Especially because now I have no excuse to see my boyfriend every day, sigh. Oh well, at least we're going to see the play the high school's putting on this Friday. That's a whole six days, including to day, to wait. It's definitely absolutely positively too long to wait. Why in the world do the logistics of life have to be so confusing? I mean, how does it make sense that I shouldn't see my boyfriend every day just because he goes to a different school because he's in the grade below me? Hmm? How does that make ANY sense whatsoever?
Sorry, I needed to ran a little. Now, to just make that dream I had this morning real... only I can do without the guy who I thought was gay who actually was dying of cancer and said "At least I supported John McCain before I died" or whatever it was exactly... and their grandparents...

omg! (SPAZZERGY!!!)
Omg, I'm so sorry! I haven't posted on here in like, forever! (I know, it's only like 2 weeks or something. But still!)
So, yeah. The reason I haven't been posting on here in like forever is because I have been having some stuff going on in my life recently. Such as, a) this guy I liked last year breaking up with his girlfriend NOW so that we can go out, only I don't like him anymore, b) me moving on to someone else, c) stage crew, d) me asking the guy I like out, and E) HIM SAYING YES.
So, sorry if I seem spazzy. I am. I am in pig heaven. (Why do pigs get heaven, for pete's sake?) I am totally blissed out, to say something my friend would say. Or maybe spazzed out works better. Yeah, I think it does. It more applies to my current situation.
So, I haven't really written anything recently, except for 7 Minutes in Heaven, which I'm pretty sure I already talked about when I wrote it. I did, however, have a writing epiphany while reading an article for World Cultures today. I wrote it down and will come back to it later, when i'm not Lucy the super spazz. So basically when the play's over and when I've gotten over him saying yes (HE SAID YES!).
Sorry, but I did warn you I'd be spazzy.
Sorry for the post to say I won't be posting or writing, but I had to do it.
Oh well. I hope no one eats me. Not now.

Spanish project, a new story, and some sequels and spin-offs written interesting POVs
I think that title mostly explains itself, hmm? I had a spanish project that i forgot was due tomorrow (thought it was due thursday instead), which i just did. For those of you who can read spanish, i would be happy to let you read it. I'm going to warn you, though, it's kinda stupid. Cause, obviously, spanish isn't my first language, and it's for school, so i said stuff that i was basically forced to say (really I just included certain vocab that i wouldn't have otherwise included, necessarily). But, yes, that explains the "spanish project" part of the title.
A new story: yes, I wrote a new story. And even better, it's an original story. I have a link around here somewhere... Anyway, it's from the lyrics to the song "7 Minutes in Heaven" by Fall Out Boy, which (along with Metro Station) I've recently become hooked on, thanks to my friend who leant me the cds. It's quite short, only 4 typed pages, including two sets of lyrics, but I really like it. It has a lot of potential for both backstory and sequelness. Speaking of sequelness, I've already written a sequel, or should i say a "part 2" to it. It's wierd, because it's the Goddess talking to this character which she created, and being a normal, timeless, wibbly-wobbley timey-wimey, constantly-in-flux timeline. Which really doesn't make sense, but i happen to like the way it ends, because it makes me smile. Which is much better than Famous Last Words, which is the morbid HP fanfic that I finished that I finally thought of a name for, because FLW makes me cry, almost every time I read it. And, there were only like 3 errors in the entire thing, and I keep finding more errors in FLW. Which is a really amusing acronym ;)
I think i accidentally explain the sequels thing in that paragraph which was just supposed to deal with the new story. Oh well. Enjoy.

Whoa, html?
Yes. Html. And css, technically, but I don't think I'll be able to use the css because I don't know how to upload a css file to the web so that any computer can read it. Oh well.
But anyway, yes, I am making my fanfiction.net homepage awesome using html. I just hope it will let me put the html there like Quizilla did. And you don't really need to know how I'm gonna do it, unless you're interested in coding webpages. In which case, you can either leave a comment on this blog (not that anyone reads it, I bet) or PM me at my fanfiction account. Or email me at moonchild394@yahoo.com where I will probably tell you to email me at thecoloryes@gmail.com. You know, any of the above are fine. So there.
Lucy is going to go think about what she wants on her going-to-be-amazing homepage as a background.

Famous Last Words
First of all, I have to say that the song is AWESOME. Second of all, I have to love MCR forever now because it's the title of my awesome fanfic (AKA NADCT afterwards) that didn't used to have a name! Now it does! Now I gotta go see Eagle Eye with my 2 friends!

17!!!!
Yes, I have updated my fandoms list to include a total of 17 fandoms. Some aren't serious fandoms but movies/books I absolutely loved to death. Although isn't that what dictates a fandom? So yeah, anyway, I'm going to be a bit better about putting a lot of stuff up there. Oh wait, I just thought of another one!

OMGOMGOMG!
I AM REALLY HYPER, WIDE AWAKE, DEAD TIRED, AND EXTREMELY BORED!
I need a good idea for a story.
Anyway. On with the yelling.
I JUST LOOKED ON FANFICTION AND THERE ARE TOTALLY 63 PELLINOR FANFICS! I AM TOTALLY AMAZED! A YEAR AGO WHEN I JOINED FANFICTION AND I LOOKED FOR THEM THERE WERE ONLY LIKE 4! THAT'S LIKE 1/15 OF WHAT THERE ARE NOW! I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THEM ALL! BUT I CAN'T WAIT EVEN MORE TO FIND + READ THE CROW!
I AM DONE YELLING NOW!

Bah
This is sort of one of those fortunately but unfortunately stories. Once I went on vacation with my mom and her friend and her friend's daughter and the whole trip was a fortunately but unfortunately story.
Anyway.
This week we've finally started doing things in school. Like, we're not just doing retarded extended "getting to know you" activities, we're actually learning stuff. While this is good (I like school when we're doing things), the amount of homework I'm getting even now in the 3rd week of school is ridiculous. I wrote seven and half pages of notes on ONE chapter for bio. Although that's partially because I take extensive notes. But still, I'm already not working on this because I don't have the stamina to work for hours on end, and I'm already leaving things until the last minute. And it's only the third week of school!
So back to the point of why I made this post in the first place. I just wanted to warn you all who are reading this (if there are any of you) that I'm going to be updating my stories about half as frequently, if that, as I would be normally. For example, I only just got on the computer today right now. Which is extremely rare. Usually, I'm on the computer from basically the time I get home until about 10 or 10:30, depending on when I go to sleep.
IN SHORT: doing stuff in school = lots of homework = not as much time for stories

Happy Birthday Steymer
You won't know who he is, unless you've read Strange, and were paying quite a lot of attention to Leyha's background. And yes, his birthday is now September 12. Of course, he's dead (he would be anyway), but it's still his birthday.
For the past few days, I've been working on figuring out details about the family structures of Strange. By that, I mean I went and used four pieces of computer paper and outlined the Menla & supporting families, the Pilo & supporting families, the random characters such as Bea, Anni, Claudi, and Garto who showed up but aren't really important to the plot or related to someone important to the plot, and finally people who are just mentioned in the story. Both the Pilo and Menla family sheets became pretty specific, at least until I got bored of them.
For example, I now know that Leyha has one aunt, on her mother's side, and a Pilo uncle. I already knew that she had an uncle on her father's side, and a cousin. But I also decided that she has four Pilo cousins; three girls and the youngest a boy. Kehdem's father's family became suddenly incredibly important to the story; Gared (Kehdem's father) is the oldest in his family, Jard (Seymod's main advisor) next, two sisters (one was Seymer's wife and the mother to his only daugher Sera, but she died), and finally one more brother. On the Pilo side, Alarsa now has a younger sister, Visa, who has the four children, and a dead brother, Rolen. Visa brings the family tie to Lilaren du'Marnai, if you know her. And with every outward-working family setup, I end up creating a whole nother family.
So I've created tons and tons of names out of nothing (such as the name Finna, which came from "fingerprints" of which there were some on my mp3-player when I was attempting to think of names), and birthdays, and I am altogether tired of that.
But I've created interesting back stories that are fun to write, if nothing else. Also, they provide an opportunity for me to never lose hold on these characters that I've come to love so much over the thirteen months that I've been working with them. Plus, Mordred, by Vivian Vande Veld (I think that's the name) brought to this brilliant idea which is sort of wierd, and which I'm sort of skirting around because I'm not quite sure how my characters would deal with it (I'm not sure how well I would take something like that from those two...), but which led me to an incredibly interesting discovery about how magic came to split out into different parts like it is (how it split, per se, isn't exactly revealed to me, but I have decided how the different types of magic were formed, anyway).
On an unconnected but not totally unrelated note, my friend let me steal her metro station CD (and fall out boy, for that matter) and put the music on my computer. And I have become quite hooked. It's kinda pathetic. "Kelsey" is by far my favorite song on the CD (which goes by the band name, like the We the Kings CD), but the whole thing's really good. And I've been bringing my expensive touch-screen mp3 player that I absolutely adore to school every day so I can listen to it at lunch.
I've also been walking home. I like about half a mile away, and I've made it down to only 20 minutes walking time. Which is pretty good, considering that it took me around 30 minutes to walk the same distance the occasional times that I did it last year.
I believe I've said everything I wanted to.
IN SHORT: I've written out information for the "backstory" sort of information for Strange. And since I've been working on it, I'm going to continue working on it, and probably not write so many fanfics at this point. Also, I've recently become hooked on Metro Station, the band, thanks to my friend.

By that, I mean I went and used four pieces of computer paper and outlined the Menla & supporting families, the Pilo & supporting families, the random characters such as Bea, Anni, Claudi, and Garto who showed up but aren't really important to the plot or related to someone important to the plot, and finally people who are just mentioned in the story. Both the Pilo and Menla family sheets became pretty specific, at least until I got bored of them.
For example, I now know that Leyha has one aunt, on her mother's side, and a Pilo uncle. I already knew that she had an uncle on her father's side, and a cousin. But I also decided that she has four Pilo cousins; three girls and the youngest a boy. Kehdem's father's family became suddenly incredibly important to the story; Gared (Kehdem's father) is the oldest in his family, Jard (Seymod's main advisor) next, two sisters (one was Seymer's wife and the mother to his only daugher Sera, but she died), and finally one more brother. On the Pilo side, Alarsa now has a younger sister, Visa, who has the four children, and a dead brother, Rolen. Visa brings the family tie to Lilaren du'Marnai, if you know her. And with every outward-working family setup, I end up creating a whole nother family.
So I've created tons and tons of names out of nothing (such as the name Finna, which came from "fingerprints" of which there were some on my mp3-player when I was attempting to think of names), and birthdays, and I am altogether tired of that.
But I've created interesting back stories that are fun to write, if nothing else. Also, they provide an opportunity for me to never lose hold on these characters that I've come to love so much over the thirteen months that I've been working with them. Plus, Mordred, by Vivian Vande Veld (I think that's the name) brought to this brilliant idea which is sort of wierd, and which I'm sort of skirting around because I'm not quite sure how my characters would deal with it (I'm not sure how well I would take something like that from those two...), but which led me to an incredibly interesting discovery about how magic came to split out into different parts like it is (how it split, per se, isn't exactly revealed to me, but I have decided how the different types of magic were formed, anyway).
On an unconnected but not totally unrelated note, my friend let me steal her metro station CD (and fall out boy, for that matter) and put the music on my computer. And I have become quite hooked. It's kinda pathetic. "Kelsey" is by far my favorite song on the CD (which goes by the band name, like the We the Kings CD), but the whole thing's really good. And I've been bringing my expensive touch-screen mp3 player that I absolutely adore to school every day so I can listen to it at lunch.
I've also been walking home. I like about half a mile away, and I've made it down to only 20 minutes walking time. Which is pretty good, considering that it took me around 30 minutes to walk the same distance the occasional times that I did it last year.
I believe I've said everything I wanted to.
IN SHORT: I've written out information for the "backstory" sort of information for Strange. And since I've been working on it, I'm going to continue working on it, and probably not write so many fanfics at this point. Also, I've recently become hooked on Metro Station, the band, thanks to my friend.

Lucy Turnenbaumerumm 2
Well. I've finally decided that I'm actually going to write TTLT2 again. Or TSTLT, if you liked that one better. I think TTLT2 is easier to remember. And easier to type.
But anyway, I'm going to actually write it. And not randomly break off after the third part or whatever. And it's going to be amazing. Incredibly more amazing than the old not-so-amazing original version of TTLT2 was. And I'm going to read that one over and then totally disregard that.

Happy Birthday Strange
I'm pretty sure Strange was a year old yesterday. I mean, it might be older than that, but it's definately at least a year old now. Which is great - I never thought I'd still be working on it after a year! I still love it, even though it's changed drastically from the first version to what it is now. Originally, Strange was written in first person, and it didn't start off in Andar (which used to be called Anda-ra, by the way) but in my house, like my actual house that I live in right now, and the main character was more of "me" than Leyha. Also, her name used to be Aleyha, but I like plain old Leyha better. Plus, Leyha is closer to Leytah than Aleyha is, even if it's close in pronunciation to Leia, who isn't my original character, but what's-his-name who created Star Wars.
Strange is my major accomplishment when it comes to writing. It's the longest, largest original story I've ever written, even though it isn't finished yet (to tell the truth, it's nowhere near). The folder that contains all of the odds and ends of the actual story contains eighteen word 2007 documents whose contents total 358 KB or approximately 81 pages or 44447 words which all in some way or another relate to writing Strange.
In honor of it being a year old, I'm going to work on it some more, so that I can be even more accomplished. Or I'll just keep writing now, or something.

OMG!
The Immortals Quartet by Tamora Pierce is my current obsession. I should go look for fanfics on it, but at the moment, I'm just being in love with it. I mean, come on, how awesome is it? See:
"Do you love me or not?" she demanded.
"That is not the topic under discussion."
[...]
"We're not talking about love?" she demanded... "What are we talking of, then? Canoodling?"
"Daine! Is that what you think I want?" he demanded, outraged. "Sex?"
I love it. Completely. >.< So, yeah, that's really all I wanted to say.
And it brings my fandom-count up to ten!

Only Nine?
Nine what, you're probably asking? Well, I think that question mark looks wierd at the end of that sentence since the first part is the question and not the second part. But it's grammatically (with TWO M's) correct, so whatever. And sorry if I'm sounding wierd or odd or ood or out of it or something; I've spent all afternoon (around 4 hours, maybe even closer to 5, but it could be on the only around 3 side) reading Doctor Who parody fics. I've finally found the genre that I LOVE, no matter what the fandom is: PARODY! Or humor in general. They're hilarious! And so much fun! And they make me forget how mad I am at the latest Doctor Who episode for ending when it ends! Especially 'cause that would mean that David Tennant isn't around anymore. Wierd, Mozilla doesn't know that isn' is a word when it's followed by a T. And that doesn' followed by a T is a word. And That Wierd with a capital W is a word. And now it's not checking my typos, which isn't good. That's NEVER good. Oh, wait, it fixed itself. Nevermind.
But after that lengthily meaningless and meaninglessly long intro paragraph, there is actually a point to this post. Somewhere. Hidden under all of the rambling. I've changed my mind - I'm taking all of the tags off of my posts. No, that wasn't the point of this post, I just decided it at this very second. Plus, if that was the point to this post, why would it be titled Only Nine? Because there has to be only nine of something that I was expecting there to be more of. Otherwise, the title of this post would be absolutely pointless, like this post it turning out to be. Right.
After that unhelpful transition, we are closer to the point. I'm not sure how close to the point we actually are, because I haven't written the point yet, so I don't know for how much longer I'm going to ramble before I get to the point. Although, I might be in some sort of, like, I don't know, flux or something, like how in that Doctor Who episode Blink (dude that was the BEST!)(okay maybe not THE best, but the BEST all the same) where the Doctor wrote the right stuff on the wall because Sally Sparrow (hehehe... Sparrow...) gave him the packet for his future which would be her past. Make sense? It really doesn't unless you watch the episode. Although I would advise against doing that at night with no lights on and no one else awake in the house while trying to make as little noise as possible so your parents don't know you're awake when you're not supposed to be at two in the morning when you're going to overnight camp the next day like I did. I don't think that makes any sense and it doesn't really seem like it applies to the original topic anymore, which I can't even remember.
So, where was I? I've been rambling for so long that I've forgotten. I'm happy that I rambled, though -- I've been wanting to ramble for a LONG time now. And now I've finally gotten that chance and I'm contented. Well, sort of. Hold on, lemme change the song to my favorite two, the last ones, and then I'll FINALLY tell you the point of this post, kay?
Only nine what? Only nine fandoms. I swear, I thought I was addicted to more fandoms than that. Here they are:
1. Harry Potter
2. Pirates of the Caribbean
3. Lord of the Rings
4. Twilight
5. Doctor Who
6. Star Wars
7. X-Files
8. Indiana Jones
9. The Books of Pellinor
And I should add it, but I don't think it counts: The Unicorns of Balinor series. It was the first series I ever tried writing fanfics of -- before I realized what fanfics were. I essentially ripped off all the ideas from those books and tried to make it my own. It obviously didn't work, or I'd be a fourteen-year-old billionare from my brilliant story. Or I'd have more than $600 to my name. Which isn't a small sum, I'll admit. But I got it all for my last birthday. Cause I was going away to Canada. But I didn't spend any of it there. Instead, I put it in the bank. And I wanted to use it to buy an iPod Touch, but nooo, no Touch for Lucy. Right. Anyway. I just thought it was wierd that I'm only in love with 9 fandoms. So.... yeah. I think I'll put them up on my blog somewhere along the side.
IN SHORT: YOU HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE FRICKIN' RAMBLE!

One camp down, another to go!
That's right, everyone - I'm back from overnight camp! I start horseback riding day camp tomorrow - Monday - but, since it's a day camp, I'll still be around at night and on weekends. It's basically like school, except I'll be much more exhausted afterwords. But, being at camp made me want to write. I am currently in the process of writing this really, really, really, REALLY odd fanfic, that is basically a combination of all of my favorite fandoms. Plus, it's camp. It's going to be amazing, once I ever write it. More than the introductions, I mean.
It's a cross between Harry Potter, Pirates, X-Files, Star Wars, possibly Twilight, and Doctor Who. In that order - I haven't really decided if I'm going to do Twilight or not, so I can't keep writing because I have to keep it in a certain order. Well, Doctor Who has to be last, regardless. I have a brilliant plan for Doctor Who. And I need to revise my X-Files part. Well, actually don't. I think I'll be fine if I don't. Idk. I have to decide exactly how I'm fitting in there - I have the beginning of an idea, but nothing more than that. I don't know the specifics, as I know the multiple specifics in Harry Potter, the singular specifics in Pirates, Star Wars, and Doctor Who. That's the reason I don't know if I'm going to do Twilight - I've got no idea how I'd fit in there. So... yeah. I think I might just skip Twilight and right the Doctor Who part - I love my idea for that.
After all, who wouldn't want to be able to talk their way out of anything??

I'm going through all of my posts now and putting whatever tags I deem necessary for them on. This should make my blog actually visited. Hopefully. I don't know why I'm bothering to make a post about it, but I am.
The Last Thing Right Now: Doctor Who (& a convenient explanation of the way I watch TV)
So, today, I wake up and decide that, since my brother is using the computer, I'm going to go upstairs and watch TV for what ends up being practically the entire day - until 5 pm. I'm flipping through the channels, hitting specific ones: History, Discovery, Weather, AMC (if I'm remembering it correctly, that's where I caught Terminator 2 one night, right after Dracula 2000), TNT, TLC, Sci Fi, and finally Spike. I'm going to give you a synopsis of what shows I watch on these different channels, just so can make some sense of me. Note that when I say watch, I don't mean religiously; me watching a show means that I'll tune into it and actually pay attention when it's on, rather than just using the TV as essentially a white noise box.
The History Channel has showed some interesting shows in the past, but I usually catch it at bad times. Discovery Channel I got hooked on because of Mythbusters - the shows from there that I watch have expanded to include A Haunting, that Urban Legends show, Dirty Jobs, How It's Made, and It Takes A Thief. I can't stand Cash Cab or that crab show. Ah, hmm, Deadliest Catch, yeah, that's it. One the Weather Channel, I watch Storm Stories and It Could Happen Tomorrow, which usually come on around 3. On AMC, I watch movies, such as Dracula 2000 and Terminator 2, which I caught in one night, one after the other, on a night when it just so happened that I was looking for blood. I only caught like the first half of Terminator 2, though, which annoyed me. TNT, I think, is where I caught this really amazing show that I can't remember the name of about some girl with a bar code on the back of her neck. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Right. I also watch Charmed on TNT kind of regularly now. On TLC, I watch a lot of shows: What Not To Wear, John and Kate + 8, 10 Years Younger, Take Home Chef, Trading Spaces, and Flip That House. Does anyone else think that new show, the Singing Office or whatever, looks kind of interesting? Ah, right, back on track. On Sci Fi, I've watched many different things. It's my favorite thing to watch when no other shows that I particularly like (such as one of the ones I've mentioned above) are on, because it's always interesting. I believe that I caught Star Wars on there a while ago - or no, wait, I think it was Sci Fi that got me into Lord of the Rings. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, so I'm going to assume it was some other channel that got me into Lord of the Rings, that I unfortunately can't remember at the moment. On Sci Fi, I've watched the X Files - which my dad, who owns about two dozen episodes from the first and second seasons on tape, got me into - and, when I recently discovered that the Sci Fi channel was its home, Ghost Hunters, which I had watched On Demand at a friend's house. I've also seen bits of Star trek (I think), Stargate Atlantis, and before today, Doctor Who. I'll be coming back to Doctor Who in a bit, after I say my little bit about Spike, the channel I rarely watch. I only really watch Spike for CSI, which is on from like 5 to like 7 (I might be wrong about those times) every afternoon. My friend, the same one who showed me Ghost Hunters, got me hooked on CSI and all its subdivisions. (I honestly couldn't tell you what my favorite was, since they all sort of blend together and not make sense any more.) It's become a bad habit of mine to go over to her house regularly to watch CSI (or some subdivision) and eat ice cream. And that concludes my TV watching explanation.
So, I said I'd come back to Doctor Who, didn't I? I did, and I will. Today, I was flipping through the above channels, looking for something to watch, and I discovered Doctor Who on Sci Fi (I only knew it was that cause I recognized the guy I'd thought of then as "the dude", who I later realized was the doctor - Doctor - hmm, neither look right, but that's probably because I'm not a proper fan yet, and it just seems like I'm randomly saying Doctor with a D). I watched until the commercial, became hooked, and then realized it was a marathon. So, I spent at least four hours - probably more like four and a half, if not more - watching Doctor Who. And I only proceeded to become more and more and more confused. But here's some evidence as to how emotional I always get watching movies/TV/whatever: I was practically sobbing at the end of the last one I saw today, which is when Rose is stuck in that parallel dimension forever (now I have a theory about this, but I might be wrong, since I'm not sure about the logistics of all of this), and the Doctor is talking to her through that almost-a-hologram thingie. I doubt that makes any sense, unless you know exactly what I'm talking about. And I'll tell you my theory which might not work because I'm not sure of the logistics, but only if you ask.
So yes. Even though I have practically no idea what the premise of the show is, I'm hooked. And I'm curious as to whether or not more episodes will be showing tomorrow. Because if they are, my day is booked.
In short: I have become hooked on Doctor Who. This giant post really is that simple - ignoring the long-winded explanation of my wierd TV-watching habits, of course.

The News You Probably Won't Care About But I'm Telling You Anyway
Two things:
1)My dad is away from today, Thursday, until Saturday night. This doesn't mean much, except for the fact that I have a little bit of a longer leash on what I'm allowed to do, since it's usually my dad who comes out to the hall and yells (not really, since my brother's right next door sleeping) at me to get off of the computer. So, basically, I'm going to have extra time on the computer during the next few days, to get ready for my lack of computer for 6 days.
2)My hair isn't incredibly short anymore. This doesn't really mean much either, except that I actually like the length it is now, since it isn't super short any more. It's almost to my shoulders. I really want to grow it out to my shoulders at least. This may or may not have something to do with my Harry Potter insert-yourself fic. I'll try calling it that, since that's what it is, instead of an almost Lucy Turnenbaumerumm fic, since that's only almost what it is.
In short: don't bother reading this post unless you're some creepy stalker and you care about wierd things like that. So, don't bother reading this post.

Overnight camp
Fortunately for me, I go away for a week of overnight camp this coming week. I leave Sunday. I had a rather odd dream about it last night - actually really this morning, like actually this morning, because it was right before I woke up, and plus, I went to bed at like 1, which I've been doing repeatedly for the last week (not good) - about camp. I can't remember it, but I know it was wierd, and friends from school were there. Whatever.
Unfortunately for you guys - not that I know that 'you guys' is actually talking to anyone, since I haven't gotten a single comment on any one of my blog posts, so I can't be sure there's actually anyone reading this thing - that means that I will not have access to a computer from Sunday 6/22 to approximately Friday 6/27 (I may or may not be able to get online on Friday when I come back from camp, I don't know yet). Which doesn't really mean much, except that I won't be able to put up any stories during that time, even if I think of a brilliant title for NADCT afterwards, and I won't be able to respond to any reviews or PMs, which I plan to get seeing as I'm going to put up What-Ifs real soon, with a warning that it tells stuff from NADCT afterwards, but not really all too much.
Fortunately for you people, however, I will probably return with at least one story idea, or starter, or something. Did you know, the original ORIGINAL NADCT (version 1, can you believe that?) comes from this very same camp. Admittedly, that NADCT was rather retarded, and I was bunking with a friend, who I haven't actually talked to in two years, who was sort of ignoring me, because she had some other friend. On the other hand, this year, I am a lot less shy than I was two years ago and I am not bunking with that friend of mine this summer, so I should have a lot more fun at camp this summer. Unfortunately for you guys, that means I probably won't have as much time to write, because I'll be exhausted from camp, and I won't have as much time doing nothing (I've looked at the schedule, and unless I mis-read it, I have less time for free time and more for my elective this year as Varsity, not that that really matters) because I'll have friends to hang with in my free time. That doesn't mean I won't have free time, however, and of course there will be that part of me wishing that the original NADCT could come true, minus the whole I-hate-Sirius thing, the whole my-friend-is-a-werewolf thing, the whole I-can't-write-romance-that's-not-sucky feel that I get when I reread my story, and the whole my-name-is-Lexi thing, since it's not, it's Lucy. Other than that, I can live with the pranking-the-whole-camp-using-Muggle-safe-tricks bit, the Sirius-getting-bored-at-the-Potters'-house-since-this-is-totally-the-

Oh my god, I would like, explode if even a bit of that happened. Any of the things I've mentioned - the ones I want to happen or the ones I don't. Well, preferably anything that I want to happen or the whole my-friend-is-a-werewolf thing or the whole getting-syrup-from-pancakes-all-over-my-face-and-hair-and-glasses-
and-so-on-from-being-tripped-by-an-invisible-person-hiding-under-a-

If any of these things happen, I promise, I will inform you as soon as I return home. So, you'll know by Saturday at the latest.
In short: I'll be away at camp from this Sunday to next Friday. Only 6 days, so I think you'll live. However, I might not.
Unfortunately for you guys - not that I know that 'you guys' is actually talking to anyone, since I haven't gotten a single comment on any one of my blog posts, so I can't be sure there's actually anyone reading this thing - that means that I will not have access to a computer from Sunday 6/22 to approximately Friday 6/27 (I may or may not be able to get online on Friday when I come back from camp, I don't know yet). Which doesn't really mean much, except that I won't be able to put up any stories during that time, even if I think of a brilliant title for NADCT afterwards, and I won't be able to respond to any reviews or PMs, which I plan to get seeing as I'm going to put up What-Ifs real soon, with a warning that it tells stuff from NADCT afterwards, but not really all too much.
Fortunately for you people, however, I will probably return with at least one story idea, or starter, or something. Did you know, the original ORIGINAL NADCT (version 1, can you believe that?) comes from this very same camp. Admittedly, that NADCT was rather retarded, and I was bunking with a friend, who I haven't actually talked to in two years, who was sort of ignoring me, because she had some other friend.

An Almost Lucy Turnenbaumerumm
A little less than two weeks ago, right before I'd even gotten the idea for NADCT afterward - literally 3 days before I started typing NADCT afterward up - I started writing this story. It is, in essence, an HP Lucy Turnenbaumerumm fic, except for the fact that a) my name isn't Lucy in the story, nor is my surname Turnenbaumerumm and b) Selene isn't a part of this story. Instead, I get transported back in time to a parallel universe via some unknown magic. Interestingly enough, this relates to my previous post, What-Ifs.
Okay, so you're wondering how a sequel to NADCT afterward can affect a Lucy Turnenbaumerumm fic that isn't? It's simple, really. I go back in time and to a parallel universe; into Harry Potter land. Once I'm there, I need an identity, right? And who's going to take me siriusly - umm, seriously - if my surname is Turnenbaumerumm and I'm a Muggle-born who somehow knows WAY too much about magic and magical devices and such? I mean, I could lie, or fake it, but I'm so horrible at that that I won't even bother. Instead, I have a plan. And what could that plan be? Why, fudge a few details, leave an OC who died alive - I shouldn't have told you that, I should not have told you that - with a daughter who never existed, and use details I made up for "What-Ifs" to create the perfect, fail-safe me, of course! Ahem, Marie. Yes, that is her name. And you can laugh at it all you want! (By the way, I realize it's not fitting in the Black family tradition of naming children after stars and such, but that's because it was Julia who named her, and not her father, him being dead and all. Or would have, had she lived. I'm just giving away half of NADCT afterward here, aren't I?) I think Maria Harlan is a good name. Even if it is (almost) Maria (Harlan) Black. But since her father is, well, dead, that doesn't work, now does it? So, where was I? Ah right. Maria Harlan = me in my almost Lucy Turnenbaumerumm but not quite HP fanfic, which honestly, doesn't have a name right now. I will inform you when it a) does and b) is readable.
In short: I'm writing an insert-yourself fic - or an almost Lucy Turnenbaumerumm fic - with information from "What-Ifs".

What-Ifs
Two nights ago I started writing this sequel to NADCT afterwards, which also doesn't have a title. Actually, it probably could: What-Ifs. Yes, it is now "What-Ifs", a mini-fic that is a sequel to a fic that is a sequel to another fic that I'm almost definately never going to finish. That's right, guys, you heard me right: there is almost no chance that I'm going to finish NADCT. Sorry to anyone who cares, but NADCT afterward is more specialer to me. Yes, I realize I said more specialer.
In short: I've already written a sequel to NADCT afterwards, which has a title, "What-Ifs", and will be readable soon. Also, it's unlikely that I will ever finish the original NADCT.

NADCT afterwards
First of all: I'm finished this story that comes after NADCT. Hence it the document on my computer being saved as NADCT afterwards. Unfortunately, I don't have a title for it, so you guys can't see it, unless you PM me and ask for it, in which case I will surely give it to you. I absolutely love it. I had a post up here about finishing it in the past, but I took it down, because I thought I'd do everything at once and be organized.
In short: I've finished a short story that I'm really incredibly proud of which doesn't have a title.

News
I have tons of news. Good news, bad news, news you won't care about but I'm going to tell you anyway, some more news like that, more good news, another bit of good news, semi-bad news that relates to that bit of good news, a bit of news that I'm not sure how you'll react and that I'm not even sure about (if that makes any sense - it probably will after I say what it is), and a promise. I think I've covered everything - I hope so. If not, well, I'll tell you anyway. Note: I will not be going in the order mentioned above. I'll sort of be talking, starting from the first news.
Now, I started typing it and only got to the sixth item when I realized that this post would be MUCH too long if I put everything up all at once. Instead, I'll just let you read the posts above, or if you're too lazy, all of the 'in short:'s from them, which I will c&p here once I've written them, in order.

News You Probably Won't Care About But I'm Telling You Anyway: don't bother reading this post unless you're some creepy stalker and you care about wierd things like that. So, don't bother reading this post.
The Last Thing Right Now: Doctor Who (& a convenient explanation of the way I watch TV):I have become hooked on Doctor Who. This giant post really is that simple - ignoring the long-winded explanation of my wierd TV-watching habits, of course.

Indiana Jones and a kitty
OMG OMG OMG!!! I went and saw Indiana Jones 4 on Sunday! It was SOOO amazing! I can't believe I haven't talked about it before now. That's probably because of my new kitty! He's mostly black with a little white on the bottom and white paws and is SOOO cute! He's three months old and his name is PJ which is short for Peter James. I thought of the the James part. Guess why? Oh, yeah, right, Indiana Jones. I absolutely ADORED it! It was so amazing. I actually suspected it was what's-her-face from the first movie when Mutt was like, my mom, Mary, told me to find you (when I first recognized Shia LaBeof, I was like, what's he doing in an Indiana Jones movie? and then I'm like, OMG, he's totally like Henry Jones III! And then I was all like AHHHH! through the rest of the movie) and I totally called that he was Henry Jones III. One of my favorite parts was when what's-her-face and Indiana were about to kiss and Mutt popped up out of nowhere and was like, here, hold this! it was so amusing.
Yeah. so, Indiana Jones 4 did what it was probably attempting to do: it got me into Indiana Jones all over again.

HGSS? (or SSHG, depending on how you look at it)
Okay, I never thought I'd say it, but I am honestly reading a SSHG fanfic. If you don't know what that is, it refers to the ship of the story. If that doesn't help you, I mean relationship. If you didn't know that, I don't know how you can be reading fanfics. If you still have no idea what a SSHG fanfic is, or how that relates to the 'ship,' I mean Severus Snape/Hermione Granger fic. And I promise you, I have no idea why I started reading it, and I doubt I ever will. So far, though, it hasn't been too bad. I mean, it's not canon, so I'm going to start getting annoyed at it eventually, but it's actually rather amusing so far.
Yes, I am reading a fanfic I have no reason to be instead of playing with my kitten. Because he's ignoring me!

7 Different People
It just goes to show you what you don't remember from the 7th Harry Potter book when you've only read it twice and a half. Yes, of course twice and a half is an amount.
I didn't realize that the 7 Horcruxes were destroyed by 7 different people - chart thingie stolen from the 'Profile of Lord Voldemort' page of the Harry Potter Lexicon (HPL) :
Isn't that interesting? Does anyone else think that JKR had to have done that on purpose? Or am I the only one who thinks that? ??
I didn't realize that the 7 Horcruxes were destroyed by 7 different people - chart thingie stolen from the 'Profile of Lord Voldemort' page of the Harry Potter Lexicon (HPL) :
| Object | Murder (BLC) | Date created | Hiding place | Broken by |
| Diary | Moaning Myrtle | murder in 1942; Horcrux created fall of 1943 | Given to Lucius Malfoy | Harry (CS17) |
| Ring | Tom Riddle Sr. | 1943 | Gaunt house | Dumbledore (DH33) |
| Diadem | Albanian peasant | possibly 1945 (DH31) | Room of Requirement | Crabbe (DH31) |
| Cup | Hepzibah Smith | c.1946 | Given to Bellatrix Lestrange | Hermione (DH31) |
| Locket | Muggle tramp | c.1946 | Cave | Ron (DH19) |
| scar | rebounding curse | 1981 | (accidental; technically not a Horcrux) | Voldemort (DH34) |
| Nagini | Bertha Jorkins | 1994 | --- | Neville (DH36) |

Alternate NADCT?
*listening to We the Kings rather loudly in my headphones, banging along on the desk, and annoying my parents to no end -- but I can't hear them complain! ;)*
Right, so back on subject -- sort of. Yesterday, at like 11:30 at night, my parents told me I had to go to bed, but I got a brilliant story idea. So, of course, I plugged my phone into its charger and stayed up until about 1:30 am writing. And writing and writing. And I wrote this amazing story, that comes after NADCT -- literally, i titled the document NADCT afterward. And I love it, and my friend thinks it's really amazing, and I'm going to keep writing it. And there's a chance that it will replace NADCT. (Version 2 (Not 1.5, the edit of 1(duh)).)

An Interesting Idea I Thought I'd Share With You
Okay, so I'm writing NADCT, and I need to figure out Julia's last name. I employ a technique I've used many times before, but I thought that this time I'd share it with you guys. Not that there actually are any of you - so who cares? But anyway, here's what I do. First, I start with a letter or two. In Julia's case, I decided that I wanted her last name to start with a H. So, I hit enter, starting a new paragraph. I type H, and then I type out some random string of sounds that might become a surname. Now, this doesn't have to be anything like what you end up with, it just has to be a starting point. For example, I started with Harit. Then, I right clicked on it, and looked at spelling suggestions, because Harit is not a word. The suggestions that Word gave me were Hart, Habit, Harriet, Herat, and Hair. I didn't like any of those. So, I tried keeping Harit phonetically, but with a different spelling: Harret. The new suggestions were Harriet, Hare, Hared, Hares, and Garret. (See what what random things you can get out of spell check? Where did Garret come from?) I didn't like any of those, either. So, I had to change my word completely. This time, I tried Harlen. (Which Firefox seems to think is a word, even though it doesn't think Herat is. Not that I completely trust my Word 2007, cause I've both accidentally and purposefully added some wierd things to the dictionary.) Word gave me Harlan, Harlem, Harley, Harden, and Haarlem (which Firefox also believes is not a word). I chose Harlan, because it was sort of like Harlan, but it was already a word. And, I looked it up, and supposedly Harlan is some dude's surname. (Seriously, type it into Google and hit 'definition.' You get a huge biography (at least I think that's what it is, I was too lazy to actually read it) of some dude with the surname Harlan.
That is my way of getting surnames when I'm on a computer and I just can't think of one.
Hopefully, I'll actually use it where I'm writing now. That would be annoying if I somehow managed to skirt around it after I spent like three minutes figuring it out and then like seven typing this whole blah up.

A Fanfic Endeavor
You have to be wondering what this endeavor is and what makes it an endeavor. I mean, normal writing projects are not labeled endeavors, not even by me. And trust me, it is an endeavor.
I plan to write a Lucy Turnenbaumerumm of the Harry Potter books. Being books, they are going to be harder than movies, since there will actually be time in between them. Also, to make it even trickier on myself, I plan on creating my two original characters I've used in fanfics before - Rose and Lucia. Rose is a Weasley-Potter (she's technically a Potter but (in LTNO anyway) she thought she was a Weasley) and Lucia is a Malfoy, and they are both my OCs that I created for the two sides. They are going to be very alike, and in fact, they are both going to be the Lucy Turnenbaumerumm we all know and love, except that they look different and they obviously have different loyalties. In fact, I'm planning a fun scene where Rose pulls Lucia aside and is like, Look, I know that somewhere in there you're Lucy, and I know that somewhere in here I'm Lucy, so please, at least stop being an asshole to me. And Lucia will ignore her, but see the truth in her words and be the beginning of the not-so-happy-will-Voldemort-ness in the Malfoy family.
So, which should I start with??

Hiatus
Alright. I think I'm going on a bit of a hiatus from writing in general, what with my finals next week and a solar car competition for a car I haven't even built yet (technically I have, since I'm improving my car from last year, but still) that is in 3 days. Woo for procrastination!
On another note, I got some good inspiration from my Canada trip - I can't remember if I said that in my Canada! post. Either way, I'm saying it (again?) now. I am currently procrastinating from studying by reading insert-yourself PotC fanfics - my favorite in PotC land. They're really fun to read. And often hilarious, if not well-written. And that makes them worth it. So... yeah. Goodbye.

I'm Looking For A Specific Fanfic
(C&P'd from my Fanfiction profile)
On Quzilla (which I am now mad at), there was a user, SisterStrange (who then became sister.strange for some reason), who wrote these stories that I absolutely adored, included one called Hide and Seek, which was a RegulusOC romance fic, and was AMAZING. If anyone knows who I'm talking about, or the story I'm talking about, could they tell me where she is now? Quizilla's being retarded, and I'm trying to figure out if I can find Hide and Seek (along with a couple of her other stories), because I want to read them again so badly. So, if someone could help me, I would be much indebted.

Canada!!
Over this past weekend, I went to Canada as a sort-of-school-trip trip. We toured Montreal and Quebec and it was a lot of fun! So, that's what I was doing over this weekend and why I didn't write anything. I also got some ideas for some original stories out of it. And I watched like a dozen movies. Today, I'm staying home from school to catch up on sleep and work on these final review things I'm making. They're sort of like giant packets of all the information we've learned over this past year, in each of my subjects. And I promised a couple people at school that I would give them my packet thingies once I'd finished them so that they could use them to study. So, I should go work on those right now, bye!

More idiocities
I was reading an HP fanfic, and they were talking about the Black Residence on Grimmauld Place. And I was like, "But it's #4, not #12," to my computer. Brilliant, right?
I didn't find anything good in my journals, and didn't really type anything up, cause I got bored. Now I'm reading really amazing fanfics, and not eating breakfast, even though it's (now, anyway) like 1:15. PM.
I will tell you if anything interesting happens. Which I doubt it will.

Rooting through my notebooks
As the title of this post says, I am rooting through my notebooks that have anything in them, and typing all of that up. Why? Simple: I really don't want to start studying for my finals, and it'll be nice to have all of these stories typed up for when I want them that way.
If I come across anything interesting, I will put a post up here about it.
Also, I'm going to have to devote a lot of this weekend to studying for finals, or preparing for studying for finals more specifically, because I have finals in two weeks and am going away next weekend. I have a lot of work to do.

I am an idiot
Ok, so how was I an idiot most recently?
Well, it rained today. And my bus stop is three longish blocks away, at the bottom of the hill that my house is basically on top of. So, I walked home through GIANT streams of water and got the bottom of my jeans all wet. Then, when I got home, I attempted to blow dry the bottoms of my pants with my hairdryer. It didn't work too well. But, since my socks were soaked through, I decided to change into nice, warm, fuzzy socks. Then, my house phone decided to ring. So I was running to get it, and slipped, and crashed into the kinda sharp corner of my banister with my shin. I managed to cut up my shin a little. It doesn't hurt too much now, but it STUNG LIKE HELL then. I made a chant out of my chanting OW! so much. Then my dad came up from the basement and was like, what's wrong? and I was like, oh nothing, I was just an idiot, and he was like, oh, and left.
In short: I ran into my banister with my shin and it hurt A LOT.

Update!
Well... I wrote another two pages of Strange. Technically, it's only 1.5 pages more, but whatever, same dif, right? Thought so.
I don't think there's anything really interesting that I can tell you... I'm going to a Women in Science thing at my mom's school tomorrow (she's a 1st grade teacher), which will be fun. Especially since I get to miss a day of school for it. There's only some 23 days left in school for me (we get out Friday the 13th, ooh, scary!), five of which are filled by finals, one of which I'm missing tomorrow, one of which I'm missing when I'm coming back from Canada, one of which is the day we go to Dorney Park (I think), and the last of which is graduation day. So, I essentially only have fourteen more days of real school, and that's COUNTING the last week of school when we don't really do anything. So, in all actuality, I have eleven more days of school school, five days of exams, and a week of end-of-the-year goodness. Sweet!

STRANGE UPDATE
Guess what? Since I got Strange to a suitable breaking point, I put it on fictionpress.com. So, why don't you go read it? It's absolutely amazing and I love it, although it might have a few typos (clamed instead of calmed - something I actually did by mistake). But tell me what you think! It's really amazing and I absolutely love it and stuff. I can't wait until people read it and give me their reactions. Chapter One is very long though - it's nine and a half pages long - so I won't expect any reviews right away. However much I'm dying for them. ;)
In short: Strange is readable on my account on fictionpress.net.

A Collaboration Story
Right. I thought I should tell you what I'm working on right now, since I'm not working on LTTLR and only sort of working on NADCT.
I'm writing a collaboration story with my friend Steph (aka Steot and StephWolfCaller and many other things), that is a Tom Riddle love story. I absolutely love our main character, Kaida. She is so much fun to write. At least, I think so. I'm working on writing all of the like back-story stuff, like things from when they were at Hogwarts.
It is SOO much fun.
I'm also (sort of) working on NADCT. Because I recently re-found it on my computer, and, in the process of bringing old documents from the going-to-die-any-day-now computer to the new-and-super-fast-with-a-touch-screen computer, I unearthed it, and some other fanfics. I also found all these old original stories I haven't worked on in forever, but none of them are enough fun to work on at the moment. Maybe I will some other time, when I've got more inspiration.
In short: I'm writing a collaboration story with my friend.

LTTLR UPDATE
I decided that LTTLR wasn't really getting anywhere. In fact, it was getting rather boring. I think that's because the best Lucy Turnenbaumerumm fics are fics that are of A)movies and B)movies that I've seen enough times to steal lines from. So, obviously, considering the fact that I've only seen the Lord of the Rings Trilogy about, I don't know, three times or something, I definitely haven't seen them enough times to make a sufficient Lucy Turnenbaumerumm fic of them. Maybe, once I've seen them fifty million times, like I've seen Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest (I'm working on At World's End), I'll be able to do a good Lucy Turnenbaumerumm of them.
In short: I got bored of LTTLR and am stopping writing it. I may finish it some other time. Don't worry, though - I haven't deleted it off of my computer.

well, hello, i guess
Oh, hi. you're here to read my blog? Well, obviously you are, or you wouldn't be here.
Well, this is my blog. You couldn't have guessed that, could you?
The reason I made it is so that I wouldn't have to update my fanfiction.net account and my fictionpress.com account every time something new happened, to make live SOOO much easier on me.
Well, other than that, I don't really have anything to say for myself. I probably won't, except to tell you of what stories I'm working on and that sort of stuff.
Don't worry, I'm keeping the other sections of my profiles the same, and keeping my fandom news up-to-date on my fanfiction account. I'm just putting everything that would otherwise go under the "news" category here. And, every time I update the fandom news on my fanfiction account - or add things to the story news on my fictionpress account - I'll put a post here detailing what I did and why I did it.
Like I'm going to do now for my removal of LTTLR.
