Final Fantasy VII 100 Word Challenge

Has anyone else out there ever heard of these two scifi novels by Karl Hansen? A post on Elf's LJ reminded of them. Published waaay back in the 1980s, they were two novels of pretty much the sort of thing I like to write and read now: morally ambiguously, extremely dark and even more disturbing, full of decadence, violence, and perversion. Oh, yes, and furries. Actually, in certain of their elements they're too unpleasant even for me.

( Cut for length and NSFW unpleasantness )

At the end of Dream Games, Mark explains that in the future, he sees his armies will have Terra under seige, but that then the Terrans will develop a terrible new weapon, and he does not know what will happen after that. I eagerly awaited the sequel, wondering what would happen. And waited. And waited.

It was never published. To this day I sometimes wonder sadly what happened to Karl Hansen. It was this discussion in elfs LJ that brought this up in my mind over the past couple of days.

Dear Semester,

You have dragged me through hell and back with all the reading, the papers, the sheer madness of what the instructors think that students should handle for one class...

So, listen up! I have a 9 abstracts, two book critiques, one term paper, a discussion, four tests and some key terms to finish in the next 14 days. Don't you dare throw any more crap at me until next semester or you will get no love.

Hell it is a miracle if I get out of this semester with my sanity in tact and grade that are at least passing.

I would like to be having a life back.

Sincerely over-worked,
Me.

So, my mom has pneumonia (I convinced her to go to the doctor because that's what I thought she had).

The cold that we've shared has escalated in her and I'm trying to avoid her fate. My cold is gone, it's my sinuses that are proving to be difficult in light of the recent snowfall.

I've gotten little sleep because of her snoring because the poor thing can't breathe at night. I've also been having f*cked up dreams because of it.

I've been dreaming in novels.

As in I'm READING entire novels that I've never read before in my sleep. After reading the passages in the book, the scene in my head turns into a movie that I watch. The one last night involved a male Cop who was chasing after a female killer and when she lured him to her home, she kept trying to seduce him, then sets him up to kill someone, causing him to shoot out of cold instinct. It's in that moment that DUN DUN DUN he realizes that the case he was following was of another serial killer that the female was a copycat and that killer was....him. He had lost his memories and in that cold blooded moment, he realized just who he was...then he shot himself. 0_____0!

Suspense-filled, but f*cked up.

There was another one that involved the Demon Librarian of Hell's Library at a conference talking about difficult patrons with the Angel Librarian of Heaven's Library. They proceeded to then discuss an interlibrary loan service with the Limbo Librarian by conference "phone" (it was a conch shell). 0_o;

Speaking of the library not in my dreams, things are going well in Library Land. I'll be taking charge of the Civil Service Test books in January at the downtown library. ^__^ I've also successfully ordered some books for my subject class and wrote my first monthly report.

I also got my first "nut". If someone asks you to look up the word 'commandment' in the dictionary, then proceeds to disagree with you about the dictionary meaning, then goes into a suitcase to pull out their bible, then have you find a passage, then proceed to read you that passage, then proceed to give you their interpretation....back away very slowly when another librarian rescues you, then run away while the patron's back is turned. (If you get me in person, ask me to tell the story. It's much better in person. Those who have heard some of my 'library stories' can attest to that, LOL)

For WSE, it seems that I may be teaching some beginner computer classes. I have to draft a class plan and figure out days to do such. Now that WSE has a projector and laptops, we can host some computer classes. I just want to test drive hooking up a laptop to the projector.

I've also been preparing holiday cards & gifts to mail out. My goal is to have most packages in the mail by the end of the week for international folks, with a few domestics as well. I just need time to personalize items. I've got everything is labeled. ^___^

*note: while my allegience goes to Hungary/Austria, I happen to find Switzerland/Austria insanely cute.. so if I collect pictures of that, it's just Fujoshi!Hungary doing it because she's a fangirl.

I unfortunately do not have an icon gayer then Cecil but be assured that when I post with this icon, whatever it is that I am going to blog about is going to be 100% homosexual! And oh boy it is.

It started with the fact that I kept getting yahoo news feeds about Adam Lambert's oh so shocking AMV performance. I mean the critics were really harsh and so okay, I don't normally follow American Idols, in fact I generally and purposely try not to because to me American Idols is really just very.. generic.. But I decided to download the album, y'know.. just to see if it was any good.

It is, my friends, the most homosexual album on the face of the planet. No seriously, it is. And "For Your Entertainment" must be the king of all homosexual songs. The line "I'm gonna ride you until you blow"? yeah, that gave me a few warm fuzzies inside. So yes, I really do like the album alot and most of it has been tagged for "my favorites" on my ipod.

I was giggling over the song all the way home from work where two muses were expressly fighting over who got to use the song. We had a winner but there was alot of really dirty fighting involved and loser went home to said lick his wounds. OH WELL.

It's a really great dirty song, it really is. Well worth that people's sensibilities were sacrificed in the making of the song. You know what, good on him. The world needs a little more homoeroticism.

I think I might just be hitting a record for how many times I'm posting in a day.

It's cold! Very very cold! And my landlady isn't giving me a new door without the half-inch gap to the Outside! She is, however, apparently giving me a draught excluder and reminding me that, ho ho, silly girl, electricians don't fit doors. What. Two different- With the- Thing! Two different subjects in the same text, woman, and if you did more than text back once in a blue bloody moon it might mean we actually communicate instead of flail! *...curls up under blankets, bah*

...I wrenched back one of my toenails on the underside of the sofa and am quietly bleeding into a plaster. I'm not entirely coherent, but I have mini apple pies and Fantasia. I think I'll just spend the evening watching cartoon hippos do ballet and sniffling at Donald Duck...

EDIT: I was going to go to bed early! And then someone's alarm went off for about twenty minutes solid! Owwwww my ear... *whimper*

That's the third thing for this evening, right? I just kicked my glass of squash over too... ;_;

Er, Leif? Not that I'm disparaging you even slightly, but - can you even play the organ? I know you can the piano, but-

...

Ah. Just that one 'verse, then, right. ...But Bach wasn't even around yet then!

This is to see if I've fixed multiple-journal posting in Semagic.

Now, see, this is why I like the official exams. I just got our Functional Skills English papers two months early. Two months. So much nicer than getting them ten minutes before the exam, srsly. *flop*

...A hard frost, a pale sky and a tawny sunrise. *peeks out at the world!*

And me hitting the snooze button on my alarm and waking up half an hour later, but that's by the by. ^_^;; Especially when you consider that Briar poked his nose out to have a look at the weather, groaned and promptly vanished back into the warm again. Flowerfae Do Not Do winter cold when they're summer-flowering ones.

Also!

Pinch-punch first day of the month and no returns HAH! *-vipruns!*

EDIT:

'Boots: *poking about and trying to find some work to do*

Briar: It's cold.

'Boots, absently: It's the first of December. You'd think you'd be used to it by now.

Briar: That doesn't make it any less cold.

'Boots: *leans back in chair, looks over shoulder at him* You're wearing half the headspace's blankets and you're complaining you're cold?

Briar: I'm a plant. I don't do body heat very well. Cold.

'Boots: *...puts the heating on* How's that?

Briar: *........*

'Boots: *...* You just want some attention, don't you?

Briar: ^_^

'Boots: ...Fine, fine, there. Icon. Happy?

Briar: It certainly sums things up, yes. *^_^* *toddles off back to the pile of half-asleep Fae*

'Boots: *...facepalm*

(Felix, from headspace: *asdfghjklBriar your feet are cold!*)

I doubt a lot of people follow me on IJ, but I may as well post this here as well.

Drabble meme, yoinked from my friend kleenexcow on LJ.

Give Me:
Two characters.
A random word.
I Will Give You:
A short drabble.

Fandoms don't have to be my usual ficcing fandoms. If I know about it, I'll write it. Crossovers A-OK.

Nabbed from a few people. ^__^





What type of Fae are you?

bridgetmkennitt, you might want to not click the link until after you're done with your fic fest fics. :D

( Random ideas are pretty womancentric, really. )

Since Rath crossposted it and everything, I might as well.

( The wishlist meme. )

...I didn't write it originally, okay? ;P

My list:

1. A stick. No, I'm not kidding - when I was a kid, I had a proper varnished Galdalf staff that my Dad found in the woods and cut up for me so that I could go to my school's World Book Day dressed up as Gandalf. I kept it for years, but I think it's been thrown out in the middle of the patio being redone at my mum's. ...Want my whackin' stick, dammit. What happens if a Balrog turns up?

2. Hair ties, those plain elasticated ones that come in pretty colours. I keep losing all of mine!

3. A full-time job for Pepper. Srsly, if anyone knows about any vacancies to make for a happy moogle...

4. To know what happened when Riker's Island went up when Turbo and 'Mis were out watching the sky that night, and if they found Blackout and Deathwatch or not.

5. The next installment of KH:MH and-or the Guardian Angels comic. Love you Pepper please don't nom me! *ducks

6. Mood icons. I've got plenty of character ones or silly ones, but no 'Happy!' or 'Cranky!' or 'Angry!' ones.

7. A 'recommended' list of anime people think I'd like. I want to get into watching more anime and similar, but I have little enough clue where to start...

8. Fanart of my boys, though that's more of an ego-stroker than the rest since no-one outside of Pepper knows who they are or remembers them anymore.

9. Not to be overlooked and forgotten about except for when people want something, though I'm not sure how you'd wrap that.

10. A two-bedroom flat with a big kitchen, a balcony and a study for doing Arts in that comes pre-packed with a mooglevisa. Good luck, Father Christmas.

Going down the stairs next to the hall? My foot hit the floor at the exact same time 'Rock around the clock' came blaring out from behind me. XD Surprise dance troupe!

Ali said I look a lot better than I did last week. This does not surprise me, considering that I ended up sleeping until half one in the afternoon on saturday after the mocks were done... >_> I feel a lot better, not to mention less strung-out and exhausted, so fingers crossed it'll last and the sniffle in the back of my nose goes away.

Knitatron's done up to the hips, btw. I'm also rather ashamed to admit that I did his pelvis the wrong colour, but I think I'll just make Ben lots of little additional bits so he can dress up the grey protoform into several different TFs. Hey, it's a project...

Get your own Chat Box! Go Large!

So, cleaning out my purse for the first time in...a long time, I found two fic fragments, and I don't know if I ever typed them in/posted them, and in the case of the second, I can't remember which universe it was in, though it seems like something I should have talked about. (The first is clearly a sequel to the fic in which Angelo found Marcello in Pickham.)

So, behind the cut, ( two DQ8 snippets, and hopefully one of you can tell me where I was going with these... )

I think it's sad that I have to rely on other people to remember what the hell I've written, to be honest. But there you go.

20% off downloadable patterns! So I broke down and finally bought the pattern for the Bacchus Socks I've been eyeing forever. Now I just need to convert the pattern to magic loop, since that appears to be the only way I like to knit socks. And get a 2mm circular needle.
