I haven't done anything but write since the holidays started.
What is it about total boredom that makes the plot bunnies breed? (Or in my case, the plot-idea bunnies, since the prose bunnies seem to have found another warren. Which is also why my attempts at getting something out for NaNoWriMo is failing miserably.)
Speaking of which, I have a cold. And a sore throat. *is feeling miserable*
I want to climb a tree. But there aren't any climbable ones around here.
I want a chain. A metal chain with finger rings on each end, one gold and one silver. Just so I can spin it and annoy people. (And as usual, nobody gets the reference.)
Just realised I haven't signed onto MSN even once since the holidays started. Ohnoes.
*opens Messenger*
My laptop is also dying. The RAM probably overheated or something. Oh well.
Now running Ubuntu to reduce the memory and RAM consumption.
Aha~n.
Normally, my response to most large flamey internet conflicts would be go find a box of imaginary popcorn, an imaginary vantage point and watch.
But, well, the FF.Net and RedBooton issue is starting to get really ridiculous. And annoying.
Fine, delete MA stories, they weren't exactly allowed in the first place (although you'd think that FF.Net would've just not created the M rating at all, since said rating is, well, disallowed, and yes, I know they'd just spill over to the T rating like before, so why not just allow those stories already? It's not like people are going to stop posting them, or the mods are actually going to get better at their job, or the rating doesn't exist already, and I'm ranting).
But deleting slash stories, regardless of explicitness, just because they are slash?
And the entire filtering is based mostly on botting the fic and checking it against a list of words that "only appear in erotic fiction".
Um... whut? I'm sure 99% of the words on that list can, in fact, appear in a different context, and probably already have.
I could go on about how the entire profile of the creator reeks of elitism, but I think I'll save that rant for some other day.
Time to go comb LJ and hope the fic I wanted to re-read was mirrored there.
Aha~n.
P.S. The Malazan Book Of The Fallen is now the most mindscrewey thing I've ever seen/watched/read. I mean, when the character list alone takes 6 pages (fine, technically 5 if you allow for formatting), and that's just 1 book (there are 10), then something's either very wrong or very interestingly good about your book. Thankfully, in this case it's mostly the latter.

Your conversational partner has disconnected.
(And at this point, I think the other side accidentally dc-ed. RAAAAAGE.)
Yes, I got the idea from Yu Han's blog.
At least, not if you actually plan on fighting Ghasts.
Had to repair most of a room (and nearly fell into the lava sea underneath) after I accidentally let a Ghast in.
But it still looks pretty.
Saw an epic floating spiral in Hell, couldn't build up to it, and decided to just recreate my own.
Still wondering if I should use glass for the walls. It'll be messy, given the sheer size and its tendency to attract Ghasts (though I've made sure they can't spawn inside), but pretty.
The bloody cobblestone is going to drive me crazy soon, though. But it makes good lighting.
On the not-Minecraft-related side of things:
I now understand why people write Shirou/Issei fanfiction. *facepalm*
No obvious seafood-ism yet, but the H-scene in UBW is really amusing.
(No, wait, after getting to the end of it, I take that back. Shirou, you are a nincompoop.)
Bleh, back to FSN. 1.5 routes more before I get the end I want.
I STARTED PLAYING MINECRAFT ANYWAY.
BYE BYE SLEEP. IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU.
*dances around*
*flails*
*remembers Chinese O Levels next Wednesday*
*wilts*
BUT YAY, IT'S MOSTLY OVER~~~
Have a cute Len pic, because I am feeling randomly high!
(Hm. It won't fit. Let's see how resizing goes.)
Also, new Vocaloid coming out! Voiced by Piko from NND!
*cue squeeing of epic proportions*
And I again made the mistake of clicking on TV Tropes, and can probably forget about playing Minecraft today.
Yesh I am being hyper. Whee!
Yuuka, your Black Gold Saw figma now costs $36, but that's without the shipping.
Aha~n.
こんにちばんわ~
