Fandom: X-Men: Evolution
Rating: PG
Genre: General/Friendship/Romance

Summary: Kitty and Lance discuss their place in the world in a way that only they can.
Notes: I had so much fun with this and really really like it, I don't completely know why, though.

Finished Lonely Werewolf Girl, almost done with Catch-22 (hoping to finish it tonight), about to start a Noam Chomsky book my friend lent me. Then after that it's either The World is Flat or this awesome book called Mind Control, which the same friend will let me borrow.

A Day in the Life has been updated. Really trying to get back in the writing mood, but it's not been easy so far. Oh well.

All right. Finished The Connections, just started Lonely Werewolf Girl (I was right - Teenage wasn't in the title).

Also, You Can Call Me Tommy has been updated.

Happy Easter!

Wow. I'm awake at 6 in the morning. Woohoo! Not anything random, either - I was doing a comm service thing (no, not court-mandated! NHS!) at the high school, volunteering to watch middle schoolers during a lock-in. Pretty fun, a lot of basketball and video games and loud movies that prevented me from sleeping on the library floor.

Haven't been writing a ton, but I don't feel underproductive. Finished Pride and Prejudice this week (Izzy's fault!) and really liked it, working my way through The Corrections right now (good book - and I don't like underlining in this format, thus the italics). I got this book called Lonely Teenage Werewolf Girl, although maybe Teenage wasn't in the title, that looks pretty good. Apparently it's a Neil Gaiman favorite or something.

Today's been a great day overall. I got my SAT results, which were pretty satisfactory. Now if I could just get that little thing called sleep...

Wow, it's been a while. Not really much to update. Working on an X-Men: Evo WIP, trying to get inspired for Tommy. Edited my header with the alleged lyrics of an unreleased Coldplay song called "42" (ahhhhhh Coldplay/Hitchiker!).

Tired. Time to go!

I SLEPT IN TODAY YAYYYYYYYYYYY!

Been a good day. Woke up, ate, had a baseball scrimmage, and then I came home and typed up some writing I had written in a notebook (parts of two stories added up to 1300 words together - huzzah!). Had fun with recording equipment and microphone effects. Frank Sinatra never sounded so evil (uh, yeah... I'll explain this sometime later, too lazy now).

Super Sunday is tomorrow! It's late, but I'm going to try to write from scratch a little more, perhaps add to what I've typed up or start something new. And then sleep time with my dogs. (YES PLURAL. PUPPY! He's already managed to chew up everything.)

A Day in the Life has been updated.

I'd really like to sleep in. Just once. It seems like I haven't in forever. But that's really minor.

A really different fic for me.

Title/Link: Stained Lips
Fandom: HP
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Horror
Wordcount: 1234 (I found this funny for some reason)
Summary: Fenrir Greyback punishes one of his pack members but ends up getting more than he bargained for.
Notes: Pushing PG-13, I think. Never written anything quite like this before. Only posted at FFNet.

Chapter 9 of Tommy is up, at fanfiction.net here and at HPFF here. Hooray moderately quick updates!

Went to a Mavs game and they totally kicked ass, which was awesome. I'm pretty tired and should probably be off to bed. Hasta luego.

You Can Call Me Tommy has finally been updated, and just in the nick of time, too. You can see the new chapter here at HPFF or here at fanfiction.net. Go me! And the next chapter should be up in a week or two. Also, there's been a slight addition to the beginning of Chapter 1 explaining AU and whatever, but that's geared more towards new readers than anything.

I'm heading out early tomorrow morning and going out of town for a week. I probably won't be around much, but I'll try to get online every once in a while. Have a great holiday break, everybody.

Chapter 7 of A Day in the Life has finally been posted. I'm hoping that I'll update You Can Call Me Tommy before I leave town Sunday, which shouldn't be too bad - in theory the chapter's done (and then some) but I need to finish the whole two-parter before I split it in half to post. But that shouldn't be too bad.

Still obsessing over X-Men: Evolution. No surprises there. I might try writing a few one-shots or couple-chapter fics to kill the plot bunnies. But we'll see.

And Rock Band? I didn't get it, but a guy I know did, and the drums are AWESOME. I love that game. Super Mario Galaxy is equally awesome, and Zelda DS is fun. Got two albums (Tommy and Purple Rain) but I haven't been able to listen to them yet (CD/DVD drive is broken... typical Hal).

And now I'm off to slay the plot bunnies.
