19. A photo of you on a school trip. I definitely have no such thing, unless the one I posted in this entry counts. So instead, how about a picture of me doing some kind of Brownie thing when I was nine:
I recall being a Brownie for approximately half a school year. My mom never actually told me why she pulled me from the program, but I expect part of it was because of the relentless harassment I received from the other girls.
Yesterday I did not write nearly as many words as I’d intended. Actually I finished reading (what there is of) that bad fic I was reading the day before. It was still bad. And I still enjoyed it. In fact, I signed up for update alerts on it XD Anyway, I did write a little on Plastic, and also I finished the picture I’ve been working on for ZG. It’s here, if you wish to see it. Yes, it’s Trowa and Quatre (she said as if anyone was going to ask); it’s for the awesome story ZG’s writing that I do hope she will actually finish and not abandon. See here a clearer/closer-up Trowa.
Speaking of ZG, we went places last night, then watched the last few episodes of Mirage of Blaze and discussed people being assholes to each other. And then I got a great idea for a Heero/Duo fic. YAAAAAA. So today I plan on writing all damn day. SO THERE.
Oh, yeah. Remember how I recently posted a new music video? And then I linked to it from this journal? Well, lj’s pingback service is up and running again, so I immediately got a notification over at kuroiyousei notifying me that momentsdrift had linked to one of my entries. This notification shows up in the form of an invisible comment on the post. It doesn’t actually count as a comment (being invisible and all), so it doesn’t raise the comment number… but it triggers the “there are comments on this post” mode… and therefore, when I’m signed in as kuroiyousei, there’s a big old ‘0’ under that post where the comment number is. Normally, of course, if there are zero comments on a post (a common enough occurrence), no number at all appears. So this pingback thing triggering this unnecessary zero is kindof a slap in the face. “Ha ha, nobody’s commented on this,” it seems to say, shoving its conspicuous ‘0’ in my face. It’s rather irritating.
I envy you being a Brownie, even if it was just for a short time. My mom never filled out the paperwork for me to try it, although she did for my sister. I still feel like I missed out on something that could have been fun.
That picture makes me want to read ZG’s story (if all the pairings are what I like). I’m very curious about Trowa!
I just commented on your music video post. Sorry I missed it before. There are days when I don’t read LJ very closely.
I seem to remember the whole Brownie thing being remarkably pointless. But that’s lame if you wanted to and couldn’t… was your sister older or younger? (Of course, I can’t decide whether older or younger would make me more bitter if I were in that situation)
Yes, ZG’s story has the correct pairings!!! I’m really hoping she manages to finish it. She has a tendency only to write stories until she’s satisfied… she came up with a Saitou/Sano story recently, and I got soOoOo excited, but then she was like, “Yeah, I’ve written all the interesting scenes, so I’m done.” I mean, I got to read them, yes, but she’ll never write any more of it or post it. Mou.
Aww, thanks for the MV comment! I just figured you didn’t because it’s not your fandom, which was fine! But now I won’t have to stare at that zero anymore ^__________^
I’m the older sister. My ‘baby’ sister will turn 50 next year. I can’t wait to buy her black balloons and cards about her age. Of course, I’ll be 53…
Any part of the story by ZG will be nice to read. I’ve read unfinished stories before, and still gotten enjoyment out of them.
I knew enough about your guys from other anime to enjoy your video. :-)
Ah, OK, then, I know that experience… when your younger sibling gets something you never did and you’re like, “Wait, why does she…?”
Any part of the story by ZG will be nice to read. Oh, don’t say that… what if she hears you and decides she doesn’t have to finish???? The Heero/Duo stuff won’t show up for a while, and if she decides she’s satisfied after a few chapters or whatever, we’ll never get to them!!!! XD
You know how I said I was going to go home and write some Saiyuki rock band fic? I didn’t. I went home and wrote some more of the QT business. Thus far I am still determined to finish it.
Well, it’s sad that you didn’t do exactly what you were planning to, but I’m still quite happy that you wrote some of that stuff anyway ^____^
