Spring break has ended....

Wah....Spring break is over...back to the rat race of school...@_@. I had a lot of fun just eating and sleeping the week away though, and I am sad to say that i was completely unproductive...well, except w/ writing bits of the collaboration fic I'm working on w/ a fellow IY fan.^_^. Who knows where it's going...@_@.

What else? Hmm, still waiting for the IY mangas that my mom will hopefully bring back. A lot of stores are probably closed today (isn't it easter?), so I can't get things for my art project due this week...but that's okay^^; I can always do it at the last minute, like usual.

Still debating if I should go to this week's anime showing. It looks very bloody and violent, and probably not something that I'd like...And I'm really hungry right now, so I'm rambling...

Okay, that be all for today..@_@. Can't think on an empty stomach...maybe next time i'll post something on Kikyo...she's a weird one, she is...@_@.

Ja!

My, my...tis been awhile since I checked in, eh?

Midterms/essays/projects week is over....but of course, there are still midterms and projects due next week, so that statement isn't exactly correct. *sigh* Sometimes I wonder if all this schooling will ever end...@_@.

Not much here, except that I'm probably overloading my harddrive and abusing my connection with downloading more IY episodes. So if I suddenly disappear for another week, that's probably the reason. Either that, or I'm just being lazy^_^; Nothing going on art/writing-wise...too tired. I did manage to get some coloring done tho, on this one pic I doddled a long time ago. Here's the link, tho I'll probably be going back to fix things later:

Still got to fix some colors, slap on a background, etc. But until I know I can open Photoshop without crashing my computer, this is what I have...

Hmm...had lots of yummy food today. Went to Japantown and tried out the sushi boat thingy, where they have plates of sushi in little boats that float around the chefs, and you just pick up the plates of stuff you want. Twas fun, not to mention that since I had a stomachache, I didn't eat myself out of house and home!^_^. I really like Unagi (eel) now. No, it's COOKED eel, not raw eel...And I got to eat a crepe all by myself^_^. The first two crepes I had I shared with other people, so eating one by myself was great!

Yeah, I know I'm a pig^_^;. Can't help it....life's short, I gotta enjoy what I can^_~.

Not much else to report in on....sleep sounds good right now, but I've got some things to finish before bed. I'll try not to forget this thing again^_^

Ja

The day has come...and went

Yeah. I got an account at ff.net. So sue me...And i put the fic up too.^_^ Seem to be getting good review so far, tho not many people are reviewing. Still, it's nice to have the option. Hmm...let's see if I can dig up the link somewhere...

also, I've been happily downloading WAY too many episodes of IY.^_^; well, actually, only eps. 1-6, cuz those are the ones that i don't have on VCD...oro...Speaking of which, I'd better go and clean out some folders to make sure I have room for it!^_^

Oh, the ff.net URL is: http://www.fanfiction.net/profile.php?userid=179768 Please visit^_^

fanfiction.net

Hmmm.....It's that time of the week again, when my mind wanders (ok, so my mind wanders more than once a week) to the subject of getting an account on ff.net. It wanders onto the topic of getting a deadjournal too, but that's a different story. Who needs TWO online journal things? Someone much more dilligent about posting than I, that's for sure...

Anyway, the reason for the renewed interest in ff.net is that I have a Inuyasha fic (Kind of) and since most of my pages are Slayers orientated, it would be kinda weird to post the fic up there. Not to mention that unless my readers are both fans of Slayers and IY, they wouldn't know what the heck the IY fic is doing there. And on ff.net, I can get reviews, hopefully, and every fanfic writer (I keep wanting to say 'ficcers') want comments. Most of the time it's just gratuitous ego inflating, but everyone needs it...

The downside about ff.net is that sometimes it's unstable, and I have NO idea how it works, like how to upload stuff. I'm sure I can learn, but I'm more worried about what the transfer from my word program to the online page is going to do to the formatting. It's a pain in the butt to fix on a page, but I'm not even sure I can fix it (except maybe by reloading it) on ff.net. I'm also worried about plagerism, and stuff.^_^ I guess the question will be resolved AFTER I finish the fic. After all, I'm NOT getting an account so it can just sit there.

On the subject of finishing...if there's anyone reading this and is mostly familiar with Inuyasha (either anime or manga's fine) wants to help edit my IY fic, I wouldn't mind^_^; After all, I am in desperate need of help when it comes to grammar and sometimes word usage...Just email me...wait, do I even have an email link up on this template??Bah...The email's chsinyu18@yahoo.com. Gotta go back and fix that link...grr....

new template

tis just a quick, belated note that I DID change the template...and I'm nearing the end of my first IY fic!^^; Oh, boy...I sure hope it's readable when I finish w/ it...

The dangers of finding new anime...

Well...those people who regularly talk to me probably know already..but I've been converted to the Inu Yasha Fandom by the lovely Elf-san, who was kind enough to give me access to the episodes. I am now officially a rabid fangirl^_^. And as befitting the role, I am now writing fanfiction (only one though...Inversed and Project Genesis are still holding the bulk of my attention and inspiration) and doddling fanart. Dang, Inu Yasha's cute^_^

Hmm...what else? I had a stat midterm, and a written quiz for japanese. Both of which i think I did badly on. School life's been blah lately. I mean, I get the 'what am I DOING here?' thought once in awhile, but this week it seemed to be particularly bad. I haven't been able to concentrate on anything...*sigh*, which is probably why I did bad on those tests.

I want to change the template, again. This red and pink thing is starting to irritate me...I don't like pink in general. I'd rather have a black, white and gray template. maybe I'll do that after I finish this post.

Oh, yeah! I've started a counter hits page! So now I get to ADD to my current workload! *rolls eyes* I'm such a masochist^_^;. *sigh* But it'll be fun, hopefully. I usually don't do requests...not because I don't like doing them, but because they're hard to do.

Ok, gotta go. Maybe I'll finish up that IY fic and then go to bed....or change this annoying template^_^.
