Black Cat Den

 What have I been doing and why haven't I posted a thing I've written. Here is a breakdown of my excuses. You decide whether they pass or not :)

1. I found a job. A part-time job that makes me work to midnight for minimum wage, but a relatively okay job nonetheless. Except how it's completely altered my life. I'm not even sure if it's a good thing or not. I just got off work and came home an hour ago. That's why, if you check the post time, it's so late. 
2. Friends. I got off my ass and fell back in with old friends. Since then it's just been hanging out as much as possible.
3. Video Games. I love video games, ahaha. I wasted a lot of time with things like Sims 3, Miles Edgeworth (How I love this series cannot be expressed in words. I think I'm falling for Franziska lol!), Capcom vs Tatsunoko, Okami, Mario Kart, Smash, other old stuff, etc, etc. 
4. Being totally uninspired to write. I started a story for my friend (a Kego one, which I was pretty pumped for after watching DEBS), but it didn't turn out. I got stumped fast. I REALLY didn't want to work on SCABL. In fact I wanted it to crawl into a hole and die. Oh well.

Starting Monday they'll be a number 6 to the list: SUMMER SCHOOL. 

I didn't fail anything, just to clear up on that. I'm taking two courses to get ahead and hoard credits for university. I'm gonna be in grade 12 next year. A SENIOR! So from September to December it'll be hardcore schoolwork. Oh yeah. After that it's the piss-in-pants anticipation of actually figuring out whether they'll accept me. 

Fortunately! My writer's block has ended. I've started Black Swan and am totally into it. I'm totally in the in love stage at the moment. Hopefully, it won't crash like SCABL did. 


 

I finally got back to writing, finishing really, the latest chapter of Swans. Truth be told, I've been writing the whole time. I started immediately the last release and had about 5000 words each on SCABL and Swans. Only then did I decide to concentrate on Swans. 

So SCABL will be done soon, I think. It's in pretty good shape at the moment but I still wish I had a goddamn editor! I'm quite happy with what I've done one the latest chapter so far, and believe me I haven't been happy with SCABL for a long time. So I guess it's something to look forward to. 

Life has finally settled down so I'll have more time to write. It took all of like two days to catch up with schoolwork. It's weird that I've really only been super busy for a month with the Paralympics. It was so hectic, I never imagined journalism to be so hard. I've embarrassed myself over and over so now I feel kind of invincible, haha! It really was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I've never seen Vancouver so busy in my life during the Olympics. I really miss the massive amount of volunteers on the streets (affectionately nicknamed the Smurfs), who guide you pretty much everywhere. They seem to have the answers to everything. 

After that experience, I realized I'm a bit of a slug. 

Midyears really. This week. Should be studying. Feel like there's so much to doooo but not really...

I hate Lord of the Flies. I never knew I was even capable of hating a book this much. If this is what it takes to win a Nobel Prize for literature, then forget it. I probably just hate it for the dumb assignments we have to do. Aside from Lord of the Flies, I've recently read another Nobel Prize winner: Chronicles of a Death Foretold. Most confusing book ever. But I suppose it wasn't as bad as Lord of the Flies.

Currently reading Margaret Atwood, an older novel. Just cause she received a lot of hype for Year of the Flood, I figured I'd try something since it was on my independent reading list (damn that list to hell!). Handmaid's Tale, probably everyone's heard of it. It's tragic. I guess. I can't say I'm a fan of her style though. I mean it's creative I suppose to combine a whole shitload of sentences with commas, but it's dumb sometimes. There are a lot of unnecessary details that don't really add to any effect. I guess I'm in the position to judge though = =

Back to slaving away at the Lord of the Flies project!

 

I can't believe I forgot about my Livejournal. Aw, whatever, that's okay. I just don't understand the mechanics of a blogger I guess.

First things first, I've finally finished something! Woohoo! It wasn't the best...but I suppose it was alright. I really wanted to finish it, especially since I finished watching Nanoha StrikerS. Now I just need to watch the other two seasons before the next one comes out v_v I can't want for the next season though. I love Vivio! She inspires me to be a mother, haha. And she has two mothers :D I prefer to call Fate-mama Fate-papa though. Even Nanoha and Fate's voice actors said they should be a married couple. Nanoha would stay home and raise Vivio while Fate goes out to work, making lots of money in her high-ranked position to support her two loved ones <3 

But seriously. They need to get married and make it official. HowEVER, I think I'll be writing a one-shot. Subaru and Teana. I like Subaru, but I wish she was less cheesy(then again the whole anime is pretty cheesy). I like Tea too, but sometimes I don't, haha. One's an idiot and one's a tsundere. Speaking of tsunderes, I realized that Teana had a lot in common with Kagami of Lucky Star. She's cooler of course, since she's got guns. 

So yeah, one-shot. AU. College settings, probably. Rated M if I feel like it.

Argh, speaking of college! My new years resolution will be to find out what I want to do in the future! That way I can be rock solid about quitting math. Nevertheless, gotta aim for something! I've been unproductive ever since the end of first term = v =, so it's also my goal to get off my ass and do something next term. It'll mean slower updates maybe, but at least I won't be as restless...

 It's like 1:15am. It's late. I'm tired. But I can't sleep. So I thought of this. There really isn't much point. Guess it's a good place to vent about my life? 

Well it's full of drama. What can I say? I don't know how, but it seems like everything i do has become a priority over writing. Don't get me wrong, I still love it. But with school...what can i do? School is lame. Why the hell did I climb ahead? So much work in doing things I LOATHE. Namely math. Never been good at it, never found a need for it. 

I've written 2000 words or something for Black Swan and the White Swan. I like this story. Not tooting my own horn, but it's just got so much more potential than the other stuff. It could be something with enough refining, I suppose. 

I feel kind of awkward writing this knowing people won't read it, lol! I wonder how people can handle it...writing things that aren't even meant to be read at times. It's all so pointless! We sure do live in a sad, sad time. We're brilliant people, we've got it all...cept romance and humanity. Well...some of us do. Charities are nothing more than promotional functions nowadays anyway. 

Speaking of which, watched an SOS Village thing. What would you call it...kinda like a show...infomercials? Either way I thought it was a waste of money. Went on for like 30 minutes. Sure it was sad and made me wanna take money from my piggy bank and ship it over there, but they show these things multiple times over the week. Well gee, the money is going to a great place isn't it? Once a month is fine, bring awareness! But hell, what are those people doing? Pretending to care? They better not be. 
 
Probably won't post again till next update. Hope there will be people bored enough to read this. Now that I mention it...why DO people read blogs and such? Life too dull so you gotta read about other people's. This reminds me of the lonelygirl13 phenomenon. It's ridiculous! But gotta admit it's kinda funny...and sad. 

Yeah I don't think I'll be doing this anymore. It's too troublesome. Just subscribe me if you want at my FF thing.

Finally friggin updated both Double Life and Silver Chains. Wrote a poem too, see how inspired I was? Now if my sister will just get out of the room, I can start writing the next chapter o_O

But y'know what's kind of stupid? There are some days where I feel like I'm waiting for me to update my own story. As if I wasn't the one who started the damn thing. But now that I sorta know where they're going, it's gonna be a bit easier :D

Wow my last post was three weeks ago. Eh, that's okay I suppose. Right now I'm actually -sort of- working on Silver Chains. Stupid me...I actually had no idea where the story was heading =P I wrote some for the -hopefully final- chapter of Double Life. I just haven't been giving much thought to writing lately. I've been so sleepy and dead lately, it's a bit strange. HOPEFULLY I can get off my ass and finish something but the motivation I had kind of dwindled away recently. Sooo yeah...

I've always wanted to get rid of KuroCat. To me, it just sounded lame. But I'll keep this LJ account so updates will still be posted. My new name is now White-Socks Whiskey. Kinda cute, eh? XD
