Currents of Time

CITY LIVING, MAN. Um. It’s going well so far.

In the last week, which is apparently about how long it’s been since I made a real update of any sorts, I have:

( - made a list-form LJ post )

Now I must go into the kitchen and stare in bafflement at all of the unprepared food until I decide on what I am going to eat.

(EDIT: By the way, I am looking for delicious but easy and preferably healthy recipes, if anyone has any!)

And finish the laundry. I guess that's important, too.

Will catch up on flist entries, uh. Tomorrow or something? I dunno. Maybe it's the excessive cold in my house. Being too cold for too long makes me be weird sometimes. Just quiet now.

Anyway, to be honest, probably wouldn't have wandered over at all (sorry - just feeling so blah these days...) but have a bit of a request?

s'almost November, and we probably all remember what that means... (WRIST PAIN, is what that means.) Wasn't planning on signing up again, but received a threatening email from them. They knew I was thinking of backing out, and that's not allowed. So. Appear to have registered again. .....

But think I'm going to go about things a little differently this year? I'll still be writing, but I don't have a story - no stories, I've gone completely brain dead this semester, and I'm pretty sure I won't magically think anything up in the next ten days. Never know, maybe I will, but for now am working under the assumption that I won't, so here is my plan (and request):

I'm going to try and write a bunch of short stories. I'm collecting prompts. So. Prompt me/request things? They can be fandom-specific or things you want to know about my original characters/universes (though I don't talk about those much, so I think the only one you guys'll even know about is the Jade/Okame set), I don't care. I'm not guaranteeing I'll write everything I'm given, but I'll at least consider it all, and I'll try. So give me a fandom (or multiple, because I'll do crossovers), and some characters or a general story idea you might wanna see me try and tackle next month! I'll post up everything I actually finish.

If you're not sure whether or not I know the fandom, suggest anyway. I get into more than even I think I do, and asking never hurts, anyway.

Already got a few - like, ten or so - from Aniko, including a few fandoms I've never written for before (House and Heroes), as well as some more familiar ones (lots of FFXI, potentially another Top Gear/Transformers crossover thing...), but would like more? Thanks in advance?

I'm probably going to overload the portion of my brain dedicated to keeping track of what I'm watching and what's going on in it, but that is okay. We will just all it making up for lost time. You see, after Beast Machines finished showing in, oh, what, late 2000? Jecca didn't watch anything on the TV until, um. Well. Heroes, actually, though there were a few things she watched on DVD in between, primarily while she was at her first college, in the 2005-2006 school year. So, if anyone had been wondering, how is she simply not aware of any of this? THAT IS WHY. (And it's not like she watched much beyond ridiculous robot cartoons for a few years before that, anyway...) (She has since caught up on many things through the internet and reruns, and now she watches House, and occasionally CSI because it is hilariously stupid.)

And, you know, am only plugging away at three different shows right now, anyway, which really isn't so bad. And only one of them has a Sam in it so far! Yaay. Shows in question now: Supernatural (which is progressing VERY SLOWLY, since my mother doesn't have a lot of free time), Lost (which I'm not entirely fond of - it is hard to like a show when you're not overly fond of the main character, but Aniko asked me to so she could ramble at me about it, so, you know... I committed to this one before the others! And then I figure, hey, halfwayish finished, may as well. Possibly I'm masochistic), and now Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which has been sadly predictable so far, but I've been told Season 2 is where it really picks up or something or other with wording that implies it becomes awesome and I always give things more than three episodes before I declare an actual opinion, anyway). (Bonus Fun Fact: without me telling my mother I was considering watching it, she started talking about Buffy. She's not seen it, she was just drawing a comparison or something, but I thought that was kind of weird and amusing.)


I got more Final Fantasy XI music! (Technically my mother did, as it came in her name, but whatever. I stole it from her. AM THF. ME STEALY.) So! Wings of the Goddess expansion soundtrack is MINE and so now I have Ronfaure In The Past (which they call "Autumn Footfalls") STUCK IN MY HEAD. But it's pretty and I love it muchly. And I got a copy of the piano collection, which came with a harpsichord for my Mog House! Shiny.


Here is a strange revelation about myself I keep having and wanting to share with people but never do because I am always afraid I will sound so lame. Shut up, fear.

( But I'm still putting it behind a cut. )

FASCINATING.
