Shiny Happy People
So I went in today to see the stomach-doctor. They scheduled me for an endoscopy this Friday. It'll be my first ever trip to a hospital! Haha, until now I've stayed healthy enough that there's never been a need. My nineteen-year streak is over, ah well. I actually didn't know that the procedure would require me to go to an actual hospital. They need to knock me out for it is why. I figured that's what they'd be doing today, but guess not.
Took me forever to find the place! I don't know anything about getting around Livermore. Plus a bunch of roads in Pleasanton were getting repaved or something. I ended up being five minutes late, but I did get there eventually.
Am I worried?
Yes. A little. But I don't think the whole thing has really hit me yet. In any case, it's not like I'm getting surgery. They give me an IV, knock me out, and shove a tube down my throat to see what's going on. It's no big deal. What I have problems with are hospitals and needles. And the idea that the pictures from the camera might show cancer. "Might" being the operative word. But oh well. We'll see what happens.
Color me happy! I decided before I went that if I came out of the doctor's with a clean bill of health I'd treat myself to ice cream. And, well, nothing's determined yet, but I decided to treat myself anyway. Cold Stone is tasty, neh? I also went to Borders. And--they had Fruits Basket 14!! XOMG, finally! It's all kinds of awesomeness, but now I'm a little worried about Tohru. Not much Kyo in this version either, but that's okay.
But dude. Dude. The next one doesn't come out till DECEMBER. Not. Fair.
Also finally got my hands on Yami no Matsuei 4--arrived today in the mail. And it's actually not all dark and horrifying (no Muraki). The first parts were actually really fun and adorable. I love Tsuzuki and Watari. And Hisoka. The ending story in 4 was kind of dark, but I thought it was well done, raising some interesting questions. Now that I have 4 I can read the rest of what's out, so I bought 5 and 6. Haven't read them yet.
Juliekinns let me read a bit of her story! Things seem to be going well for her. ^_^
On the downside of things, though, Liz is getting really depressed again. To the point that I'm worried. -.-
*sigh*
Oh, I finished the first chapter of the KH fanfic. Got an account on The Pit of Voles too, though I can't post it there for two more days. Please read it when I post it! My pen-name is Flying-Dhole. The working title right now is "Not That I Care." I know, oh-so-very creative. I've never been good with titles.
I'm also working on the Penta rewrite. It's going pretty well. Though I've discovered that rewriting can be pretty tedious.
P.S. I forgot to mention this. You remember how I said the bat-girl from "Spirits" (tentative codename for Kaiyss/North/Jae etc), that her name was Skye? Well, apparently she didn't like that name because she threw it out the window and decided her name is Chia. Pronounced "Kia." It's actually short for Chiaroscuro, which is an art term, meaning the play of light and dark in art. But hardly anyone calls her that.
Why do my characters have such strange names? Ciraszi. Kazriel. Chiaroscuro. Jaereiper. Kaiyss. Scarrow's pretty weird too. Although strange names seem to be attracted to Spirits. It's got Kaiyss, Naioh, North, Jaereiper, Rain, Dark, Chiaroscuro, and...Tobias.
I swear, next post, I'm gonna outline the characters and what I know of the story (I don't know much yet).
