Subject:	Then We Can Truly Meet and Enrich Each Other
Time:	9:27 pm.

I first found this print when I was about 14 and beginning my first job, which was at a metaphysical/New Age book & gift shop. Quite a bit of it was psych-related as my employer was a therapist. And years later she became my therapist, which she still is.

This is a poem written by psychologist Virginia Satir who was really groundbreaking, especially in the field of family therapy. Funnily enough, I sat down to lunch with some strangers one day at Omega - they were both from a week-long Shamanism retreat that was just ending - and as I got talking to one of them (a really awesome older guy) he casually mentioned that he used to work with Virginia. My jaw dropped, it felt like meeting a celebrity.

For 15 years this has always represented my ideals in any kind of relationship, ideals I've never come close to achieving in my life. Just as The Little Prince is required reading for grown-ups who interact with others on any level in this world, this poem is worth burning into your memory.

In case it's unclear, it reads:

I want to love you without clutching,
appreciate you without judging,
join you without invading,
invite you without demanding,
leave you without guilt,
criticize you without blaming,
and help you without insulting.
If I can have the same from you
then we can truly meet and enrich each other.

Subject:	Cloud/Kadaj ficlet: Fire
Time:	8:10 am.

Title: Fire
Fandom: FF7
Author: Gothatheartholo
Pairing: Cloud/Kadaj
Rating/Warning: PG13 for… makocest?, yaoi, etc.
Disclaimer: I do not own or make money off this game.
Summary: Slight AU. It’s hard to tell when Cloud’s pissed off, but Kadaj knows exactly what to do to calm his big brother down…right?
A/N: I’m still pissed off (for another reason), and thus, this fanfic was born. I really have to write more fanfics when I’m feeling emotional (in all sorts of ways). And yes, just one more fanfic and then I’ll be done… I think.

This is also a slight au, where Kadaj’s been brought back to life and is living with Cloud, but instead of retelling all of that, I’ll just offer you a snippet of their, um, harder times of their lives, lawl (or not, lawlz).

OK, the other day I posted about finishing the word count. Now, I have finished up the story.

Total by my word count summary is 54 202 words. Not that right now it matters.

I swear, the next time I try this, I'll rack my brain and I'll come up with something crack to write for that many words. It should be possible.

I don't even understand why I'm so sad since the muse I did get killed is still sticking around, he's right here and that bit is in the distant future. But I am.

Pairing: Squall Leonhart/Sora
Rating/Warning: NC17 for rough!PWP because I'm bloody frustrated.
Disclaimer: I do not own or make any money off KH or whatever SE games I use here.
Summary: AU. Sometimes Sora wonders why he's doing this.
A/n: I'm just letting out some anger, folks. I finally played ff8 and that changed my view on Leon, forever. x.x

I am not done with the plot, there are about three more installments to be written and posted, and I fully intend to do it.

But I wrote 50K words on a single story - in less than a month and that.

I... wow.

Subject:	DA/A fanfic in Stork's pov: 20
Time:	3:01 pm.

Title: 20
Fandom: Storm Hawks
Author: Gothatheartholo
Pairing: Dark Ace/Aerrow
Rating/Warning: PG13 for yaoi, BL M/M, etc, etc.
Disclaimer: I do not own Storm Hawks or make money off it.
Summary: Stork sees something that was more than what it appears.
A/n: For the_usual_spot challenge and the daerrow challenge. Btw, I haven’t seen any of the new episodes, so my knowledge of the characters, etc, is based on the first season and therefore, this is slightly AU, I suppose.

Subject:	The Dirigible Affair
Time:	2:46 pm.
Mood:	annoyed.
Music:	"World Soccer Daily".

Every few years the Goodyear Blimp flies over my house, hovering its fat airy way to God knows where, and allowing me to spend a day saying the word "dirigible" (a personal favourite) until people would rather risk prison for slitting my throat than hear me say it one more time.

This summer the famed dirigible went over on a shitty rainy day. I heard its distinctive buzz and ran outside in the pouring rain, in my thin white cotton nightie, and was standing there growing progressively more obscene as I tried to get a decent photo with my crappy phone camera. My proper camera needed new battery.

Why the hell it was so important for me to get a photo of the blimp, I don't know. I think I wanted to show it to my sister because it's always a cool event. And again, dirigible dirigible dirigible.

Huh. That was my morning inspiration for the next of the future-stuff. HOPEFULLY I'll update with the promised nicer stuff later tonight.

And possibly reach 50K tomorrow.

Wow.

Generally, if I'd written ALL my word count for today for Max, I'd have been at forty-four thousand, but of course I had to have a 3K spur for Dean. *headdesk* That should teach me to take up broken muses.

But. I'm done with the sections that were dealing with Max's unclear past. Now for the framework sections, the treat-section (i.e., the one with happy between the past and the future), and, finally, more of his ramblings.

You know. I can do it. *peers* Less than 10K left. I didn't know I'd get this close...

Yay word count update. Yay finally getting around emo muse to write.

I should be making another update later today, depending on when I get back home from today's activities.

... and when I get into the roll, it's still a pleasure to write this muse. *crosses fingers* 15K more words. Should be possible.

* I think I'm PMSing like whoa, plus tired. If in communication or RP I do something stupid? Feel free to smack me over it. I'm a big girl, I can take it

* Re-reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull made me recall why I loved it so much in the first place. And I cried. I seem to do way more often than usual, recently.

* Music share: ( Heaven )

Subject:	Book Review: archy books
Time:	1:12 pm.

archy and mehitabel and archyology by Don Marquis

I'm not entirely sure how to evaluate these books. They're certainly not my usual fare. In fact, I only read them because my high school boyfriend gave me the second one--I just recently managed to find the first.

They are poems, or stories or articles constructed like poems, ostensibly written by a cockroach named Archy. Archy writes by flinging himself headfirst onto typewriter keys, so there are no capital letters, though I'm at a loss to explain the lack of punctuation (surely he could at least manage periods?). they chronicle Archy's adventures, as well as those of his friend Mehitabel the cat, and their interactions with other insects, animals, people, and even ghosts. I found them somewhat difficult to follow (probably because they were originally written as newspaper columns, not to be published in a book), and there's certainly no plot, though sometimes there are stories that go on over several installments. However, the characters are amusing and sometimes wise. It's also interesting to see a cockroach's view on Prohibition--the columns were originally written in the 1910s and '20s.
