The Dragon Within

May is almost here! CRAP! Nanomango's a little over a month away...and this time last year, I actually had an idea. This year...not so much. I'm thinking of doing Senna's story for it, but then again, I just started writing the story again and I'm not too sure where I'm going with it yet. The next two chapters are still a little iffy before I start really delving into the plot... I just need to outline/get them done and over with.

And get some of my other stories rolling again...it's been close to 8 months since I've touched A Slice of Life, YACAS, YACASII, or really anything else that I'm supposed to be working on. :\ Let alone the fanfiction HOLY SHIT FANFICTION WHAT? that's been in my head for the past two months now... I really wish my muse would cooperate with me instead of fighting against me sometimes. I really, really do. -_- Hopefully this means that I'll actually get something creative done soon, because everything just sorta fell to the side after my tablet decided to stop fucking working.

At least this time I have a camera to take pretty pictures of what I draw instead of my shitty ass scanner that has been kinda temperamental lately... Me and technology have been fighting lately. A lot.

In World of Warcraft news: I HIT 77! AND GOT COLD WEATHER FLYING! Meaning I can fly in Northrend now and I'll be able to level even faster!! /n3rd

In work news: I'm at full time until further notice apparently, because Judi is still out with her fractured hand and even when she comes back, she most likely won't be able to take over shifts right away. So...blah. I've been trying to avoid a situation where I had to be full time again but it seems life isn't always that kind. :\ Ah well. Larger checks here I come! Plus overtime! Because I get to stay over and count truck twice a week if it's there on time. YAY OVERTIME!

That's about it...about to go for a nice morning walk to get the muse going. I hope the moon's still out...it was really pretty earlier so I might take a couple of pictures of it... What can I say? I love the sky. Maybe that's why my head's always in the clouds.

Peace,

kinda hyper, content, and inspired psycho

I could be writing/drawing something right now, but that takes coaxing my muse into doing something and I don't have the urge to do that right now. Just got done playing on Facebook, and fighting with Farmville. My cousins/uncle wouldn't let up on me until I added them, and of course the app was being all douchy. Oh well, at least it's finally taken care of. I swear, even when they're up in the boonies they still find me and pressure me to play games. :P

Other than that, still waiting for Kyo Kara Maou to download. I just want to watch my episode! Really! With the audio/video not screwed up. =_= Ah well. Caught up with FMA, Durrrarara dullalalala, and finally read the two volumes of Yu Yu Hakusho that I bought ages ago. It's sad, according to the preview, the next volume is the last one of the series. It's kinda weird to, I mean, I started buying the manga right after I bought Demon Diary, my very first manga series EVER. And I've been collecting them as they come out...for like 4 years now. It's kinda odd to have a series like that coming to an end like that. It's supposed to come out this month, but knowing Border's, they won't have it until the summer. I miss Media Play so much...because they would have it on sale like, a week before they were supposed to go on sale. :D

Haven't done anything else really. Been re-reading last year's NaNo to see if I feel like writing anything in it and fixing the errors that I find. Like where Write or Die ate entire paragraphs/dialogue that makes the rest of the page make no sense. I need to update where I posted it online...the broken version is still all over the interwebs. Re-read the chapter I'm working on for A Slice of Life too, and remembering how much research I've been putting into it since one of the characters is originally from Germany who just transfered to the States.

shameless pimping of my writing journal: done

Went back over my old journal entries too...and I can finally see where people tell me that I've mellowed out a LOT since I moved out of my parent's house. I was so angry and crazy. Now I'm just crazy with less of the angry. Sorta. Well...when it doesn't come to work anyway. :P

This turned out a lot longer than I meant it to be. >_o

Peace,

perhaps going to do something productive now psycho

So joined two writing groups in the past week, and my muse has almost completely dried up on me. It's a good thing that they're not really deadline-oriented or else I'd be totally screwed. One is runaway_tales which was on the spotlight like, last week and mission_insane that my roommate found and I jumped in. I have an idea of what I wanna do for tales, since that's original fiction only, which may help get last year's nano back up and going because I really want to finish it, but a couple of other projects have sort of taken priority over it. Like A Slice of Life that I'm shamelessly pimping. Mostly because I'm proud of it.

My problem is for mission insane. Because it's 200 stories for one fandom. Now, I've been out of fanfiction for...a very, very long time, and I"m not sure if I want to do another original idea I've been toying yet or an actual fandom. So...here are your choices below the cut. Help me out guys!

( FANDOMLICIOUS )

I have a feeling that people will choose something out of an actual fandom because no one knows my original crap. :P

Lets see....nothing's really been going on. Except my gloves broke at work on Sunday so the sanitizer got to eat my hands. And I forgot that the rough draft for my first paper in English was due today. Luckily, she didn't really care so that means I have to work my ass off to get a decent paper in. Joy of joys.

Peace,

either gonna write my paper...or something completely different psycho

Well, finally got my manager training books today, and holy shiznit there's a lot to learn. Helen says that they were designed for people who have no previous Mchell experience, but daaaaaamn. At least I'm gonna learn how to fix shit, hopefully. The maintenance part is gonna be the funnest, mostly because I like fixing things. Yes I'm an oddball that likes to take things apart and put them back together. Which reminds me. I need some precision screw drivers. I gotsta take apart my radio and clean the circuit board. GOTTA REMEMBER THOSE!

Otherwise, been building more of my world for my fourth rewrite of Dragon Rose. It really doesn't feel like it's been that long since I last rewrote it, although it was all the way back in 2004. I've also been toying with the idea on continuing some of my really old ideas with my first set of original characters: Saphike and Savannah. Both have come a very long way since I created them in the seventh grade, and I'm very proud of them both. And Savannah's evil as she ever was, will be. My first evil crazy bitch. I'm still not too sure if I want to keep DR's names of the two main characters Angela and Kathryn or the original before I changed them Saphike and Savannah. Ug. Or should I come up with completely new names for them? Where Destroyer seemed like a good name in the first draft, I'm coming to regret it now and want to change it but I don't know to what. :\

I'll get this sorted out eventually. At least this time I have something along the lines of an actual plot and a world that I am damn proud of. Seven years in the making baby. Hopefully I can churn out the rest of chapter one and post it up, but first thing's first. Can't exactly have a story without names. :P

Another thing I've been doing is filling up my icons. I finally reached the limit of 108, even if I have to move a few of them around. At least I finally filled this account. One down, two to go. XD

Peace,

don't know what I'm gonna do the rest of tonight psycho

For a Sunday night, it really wasn't that bad. For it being mid month on a Sunday night, it really wasn't that bad. I was off the clock by 5:45 (new record baby.)and I think Mel was gonna have a heart attack from surprise. (one could only hope...) I mean, I couldn't stock anything until two, but instead I cleaned everything.

I still got to deal with the jackass forigner though. I'm sorry, I don't speak jibberish. No, really. It was no language. I've worked long enough to have people talk to me in other languages, this was pure jibberish with some English thrown in. Then, after I took his large iced tea order, no one told me I didn't have iced tea, so he had to wait 2 minutes (gasp and awe) as I waited for the tea to brew. And then as I got him fresh lemons because we didn't have any. He gave me such a dirty look for that, I wish I had my knife. He'd be missing an eye.

Then, there was this couple that wanted to talk for some reason and all I wanted to do is get them the fuck out of my drive thru. No, I don't care that you called in an order from three months ago and want the food now. You're not on the list. No, you can't come back later and retrieve it because you're not in the book. And no, I don't want to stand there in the snow and bullshit. I had other orders to take and you're not important. Then, they want apple dippers and a ton of other shit that they just had to add on at the window. Then, I find out we have none in the entire store. I hope they crashed into a ditch. None of the other people behind them. (4-5 cars) was that fussy. Dumbasses.

Some better news: I bought a new radio to take into work! And it plays CDs so well. :3 I love Sony. They have usable weapons awesome electronics! And of course, the morning people come in when my CD's playing 'if you were gay' that's in the play 'Avenue Q' and give me an odd look. And right after that song? 'Everyone's a little bit racist'. Yah. Got looks again. I like the music for that play... and a few others... and so I burn it and take it into work so >:P on you all. Bitches.

Lets see, that's really all that's been going on. :\ I have the next two days off for trying to get some ideas for wherever the fuck I'm going with both AOB, AOBII and Rippers. =_= It really did need the plot change, bad. I might even post a few stories on this journal, or even snipits to draw people in...

I love striking things. *grins*

And...that's it. Really this time. Hm. Maybe I'll drabble for a prompt. I feel like writing something, but not sure what. So, I guess to drabbling I go!

Peace,

not too shabby psycho

Last night wasn't that bad for a Saturday night, hell even Friday night was kinda dead. However, like every weekend, we can't seem to go without the jackasses. There was one drunk as hell guy who apparently pissed one of my coworkers off after shouting and honking, which I could hear in the grill area. I wonder if they heard my retort. *grins* I was a complete bitch last night and plan to be the same tonight.

So, I'm getting everything ready for breakfast, moving at my gimp pace when we get a small rush, no biggie. Until the $50 order. No, I'm not shitting you, 50 bucks. And then the rush picked up and we had a $35 order about one order behind the 50. And what the fuck was with mcchicken last night? I swear, I sold three bags of it in that fucking rush, and every order after the rush wanted the shit too.

Guys, it's not that great, really. I mean, it's better now that it's all white meat (it used to have dark meat thrown in and it was pretty gross...to me at least). Ug. I swear, if we get the chicken wings/ribs again, I'll go apply at Meijer, hurt myself more, and be a whole lot happier. The ribs smelled bad and I hated how no matter how much you washed your uniform, you couldn't get that damn smell out. That and you could tell which tray was for them just by the discoloration. And the wings? 10 minutes to cook. So to those a few years back that would wait for the wings but wouldn't wait the extra 2 minutes for pies (they take 12 minutes. You guys are just learning a lot today), fuck you too asshats.

I feel a tad better now.

So, I'm going off to try to get something written. I've been poking a few things around with a rather large pointy stick and they're still not moving. So, I turned it on my muse and she budged a little, but with her, that's way better than nothing. Maybe I'll try chapter six of AOBII again, or even the rewrite of AOB.... Lets watch as my muse laughs at me.

My muse abuses me...so much...

Peace,

wanna write, but most likely won't get a word typed psycho
