Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

I did catch up Pushing Daisies. I'm loving Olive more than ever this season. So I guess that puts True Blood 5 on the list. I forgot to mention that I am shallow and I do love Eric. Mmm viking vampire. Then I'll either watch Black Butler today or watch both episodes tomorrow. As for why I'm transcribing my plans, it helps me remember.

I shared my notion of a writer's special crazy with Gabi yesterday. If you've been reading this journal long enough, you've probably heard it. The basic premise is that all writers have to be somewhat crazy for it to work. After all, they lead double lives and carry the memories of both themselves and their characters. Writing is almost a case of MPD in a way. At least that's when it's most fun.

Speaking of fun, I got bored with the pickings of ffnet (after having a strange craving for Takouji -- I want to watch Frontier again -- and Gundam last night) and headed over to the big boy's archive on adultffnet. While I expected it to be extremely disappointing, remembering my finds of yesteryear, I was pleasant surprised to run into some DELICIOUS offerings. I think I love Eline in all sorts of ways (she gave me EEE threesome fic). And whoever did "The Color Red." Not quite as good as "Weight of the World" but still very very nice.

And then there's this, which is just beautiful beyond words and now my desktop.


ETA: Miracle of miracles. I finally changed my layout. It's only been what a little less than two years.

Oh how I miss being able to randomly listen to my drama CDs or browse through fanart. I've decided to compensate for my lack of time by cutting my hair in half. quebelly is coming down to assist me with this. She promises there will be hair magazines and such. It will be good. I haven't seriously cut my hair in years, but I'm just sick of being too lazy to do anything with long hair. Once I cut it, I'm totally going to die it RED again. Because my being a redhead fucks with the time and space continuum oh so good.

I haven't ranted about music recently so I will. I hate the "Because of You" duet by Clarkson and Reba. I love both singers, but they sound horrible together. Reba makes the song too old, and it loses all meaning. I never much liked the song when Clarkson sang by herself; it's too much of a wangsty message song. But I really hate it whenever it comes on the country channel. It makes me physically ill, and I have to turn it off right away. I don't care if your issues with life and love have traumatized you. Tell someone else.

I'm still trying to get used to Vista and failing. I don't like the way everything practically blinds me. I also just realized that I probably lost my promotional Geass background and now will probably have to use fanart porn. Or the horse pic. I really really want to know what's going on in the horse pic aside from the Geass boys riding through the fields while stripping off their jackets and damn well flirting each other like fruity poofs. Back to Vista hate. I hate how it has to question everything I do, and I'm too lazy to figure out how to make it stop.

In other news, I decided to ditch my old layout idea and make one for SuzaLulu confrontation scene featuring "Bent." When I can reinstall Photoshop that is. Grr.

I finally got off my hump and changed my layout. I couldn't find a decent Fakir/Ahiru picture to work with so I went with my second obsession as of late. I know all these het pairings of mine must be scaring some of my friends who cannot fathom that I like anything aside from slash. This layout was greatly inspired by a desktop background seen here. It's very hard for me to find any good pictures of Alexiel and Kira since Yuki would rather draw Setsuna and Sara. Bleh. I think this is from Volume 7 when Kira calls to the dead Setsuna in Hades, resulting in Setsuna awakening in Alexiel. I just think it's a very beautiful scene, and it works well with the fallen motif of Alexiel. Maybe now I can temporarily give up my KH obsession before it causes me any more frustration. I just don't think I'm having fun with it anymore, and than upsets me. I'm wise enough not to enter any Angel Sanctuary fandoms. I enjoy it on my own merits just fine.

I've got mixed feelings, as usual, about the overall layout but it doesn't suck to the point where I cry when I look at it. How come I can never get the right size for anything? Coming up with all the lyrics and titles was a bitch though. There are not enough angel songs in the world.

So I have my new layout up for now. I was going to do the angry Sasuke one since it's my favorite, but this seemed less enraged and violent. When it comes to Naruto, I'm in more of a subdue mindset. I'm mildly satisfied with it, but I'm lazy so I probably won't change it for a while aside from altering the main colors on a whim.

Does anyone know how to make one of those permanent entries at the top that won't mess up my friends ability to view my recent entries?

What was up with 4Kids suddenly deciding Set didn't have to be hypnotized to go with his father this time? Like they care about fan complaint. The whole scene was so "Come to the Dark Side, Set. Join me and together we will rule the galaxyEgypt." And Set's all for it, despite everyone whining at him to be the better man. But as soon as Atemu gets on his case, he's all "ZOMG! I can't betray the PHAOROH!" It would be touching if it wasn't so convenient. I'm impressed though. Eric Stuart didn't completely butcher his lines with Kisara. Thumbs up, Stuart. Thumbs up. Why must they deny me my Yugioh again for who knows how long?

I have something Naruto-ish and ranty to get into. If you've spoken with me at all, you've probably heard my take on the current situation in the manga. But I want to write up something since I haven't done anything intelligent outside work for a while. Before that, I really want to finish my manga since I was bad and went back to the net last night.
