HA!

I just saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

No. I'm lying.

But I did just save 35% on the second season of Lost by pre-ordering it on Amazon now.

Did you know it comes out on September Fifth?

That's fifteen days from now.

Yeah.

I love Amazon.

By the way, 35% means that, of the $60 it would cost at Best Buy, I only paid $41. Including shipping.

Yeah.

Oh...My...Goodness

Sweet Baby Jesus God.

My fic has...like...been referenced. As being a good, IC AkuRoku fic. Over on khfanficrants.

*splutters*

I mean...how weird is that? I thought it was just fellow Voles reading it. And, you know, friends and stuff.

People are saying they like it cause it's not fluffy. But I don't get it. Axel and Roxas--it's not supposed to be fluffy! Whether you see it as a pairing or as "just friends," it's tragic! Romeo and Juliet type stuff (Romeo and Romeo?). I mean, I won't put out spoilers, but--believe me--it's tragic! Why do people write it as fluffy, that's what I want to know. Maybe I just haven't been looking hard enough. Most fluff is set in AU, and I'm not a fan of AU.

Look, I'm learning the lingo. ^.^

I'm a bit...confused though. People are also saying it's good AkuRoku. But I mean...it's not slash. I'm certainly going to hint at it, and I mean, I haven't entirely decided if I'm going to go all out and say "YES, they are GAY!" but for now it's...not...slash. Unless I've been wrong and "AkuRoku" isn't interexchangeable with "Axel/Roxas." People come up with cute names for pairings all the time, though. Soriku. Wolfstar. So maybe "AkuRoku" can just mean "Axel and Roxas centric."

????

I'm still weirded out by the fact that people are reading it at all.

But now I'm all worried. Now I'm under pressure to deliver. This must be what deadlines feel like, haha! Good experience, in that case. But like, if I have long gaps between updates, people stop reading. If I make stupid mistakes, people stop reading. If I get OOC, people stop reading. Fangirls can be pretty unforgiving. ^.^

Can we tell I have confidence issues? Hahaha...

Not so much with my original stuff. I mean, you can tell me that Mot is "a giant, craptastic load of shit that does, in fact, even smell like crap despite the fact that it's on paper/computer, because the suckage of this crap is simply that bad" and I might agree and fix it and stuff but I'll never stop loving it. It's my baby, after all, same with Penta and Fox and Spirits. Though I could say the fic is my baby, too. I guess the difference is characters. Boone, E, Kail, Taenailo; Fox, Mikayla; Kaiyss, Jaereiper, North, Dark; Gecko; Kaz, Scarrow, Rin, Triss--all of them are mine. Axel and Roxas are Nomura's.

But oh well. Gotta keep trekking, neh? Chapter four is well underway, and it might piss off some Saix fans, but that's okay because I don't like Saix. In this chapter, Axel and Roxas actually stop disliking each other, too! So, woot for that.

In a completely unrelated note--you ever have a song that you've heard over and over through the years, but despite everything, you have no idea what the title is or even what any of the lyrics are or who it's by? I have a few songs like that (I couldn't figure out Piano Man for the longest time...what? Don't look at me like that! Billy Joel has his moments!) *koff* Anyway, I went on an Internet quest yesterday looking for this one song, and I tried what I thought was a line from the song, but that didn't work, so I sauntered over to Towerrecords, which, like most sites these days, lets you listen to clips. And I thought "Okay. Considering the nature of this song, it's most likely on one of the Pure Moods albums, so I'll check there." And after much searching and lots of mood-ful sound clips, I finally found it on the third compilation.

It's called The Mummer's Dance by Loreena McKennit, and you've all probably heard it before, whether you know it or not. It's Irish and pretty and makes you think of grassy Irish hills and Irish string instruments and Irish wind and an Irish moon and Irish...Irishness.

So, small victory for a lover of totally random songs. (But really, it's a pretty song. Listen to it.)

Have I mentioned how much I love the Internet? The scripts for Chain of Memories as well as KH2 are both on gamefaqs. How lovely is that? How else am I supposed to characterize everyone that died in Castle Oblivion? Ah, research.

Probably one of my more rambling posts. Sorry.

Oh, OH! Snakes on a Plane. TONIGHT. *flails*
