So I've written the last chapter to my Harvest Moon fictiction.
It ended up going in a different direction than I planned.
But I like it.

Right now, I'm in the process of coloring a picture I made for a friend of mine.
She did some adorable giftart for me.
I owe her one, yeah!

Oh, and I finally got a new TV. 
Samsung HD.
This'll probably last for a good while, mm?  I'm hoping, cause I can't afford another one.
Especially since I'm saving up for my Cyntiq.

And Cyntiq = more art for you.

I'll have two checks to cash, bringing me up to $800.
I could possibly find a good deal on one, but if I don't, I'll have to shell out $1000
Dad promised to go in half with me, but it'll be a cold day in Hades when he can finally afford that.

Hit 9000 points in Mario Kart Wii.
So happy.
But I want to play Metal Gear 4....
But I don't want a PS3...
That doesn't mix well, seeing as it's FOR the PS3.
But I'm not spending $500 for it.
No way.

After Cyntiq is in my loving arms, I'm getting my bunny, yes I am.
PS3 can wait for a looooooong time.
Even though I'm dying to play Metal Gear, I can live without it.

Wow, I'm being awfully short today.  Haha.  Maybe I'm just not in the mood to spend much time here.
Ah well.
Better update...eh, some time in the future.

So on a good note, I've started a Harvest Moon fanfiction (based off of Magical Melody, in the girl's point of view).  I'm writing it out of order, because inspiration has no idea what order is,
Inspiration knows no chapters, nope...
Even though I normally write in order, I might as well try something new.
I'm also writing this one by hand...I prefer my pencil, thanks.  I'll type it chapter by chapter once I get it going.

Now, onto the bad note...
My television blew out. 
I'm mad.
Very mad...
It's not that I really need it.  It's usually just background noise.  If I want to watch stuff, I can watch it on my computer.
But...I can't play Magical Melody...or any other video games unless I play them out in the living room.
And there's no privacy or anything out there.
And mom always makes fun of me when my cows moo...

God, I hate my mother.  Literally hate her.  Sometimes I wish my father would kick her out.
Sometimes, I literally want them to call it quits.
She never lets him relax, even though he's working two jobs.
And she's a major hypocrite, which really sends my blood pressure soaring (I HATE hypocrisy.  Hate it with a passion).

Hopefully the TV gets fixed...or replaced...
Especially since I'm saving for my Cyntiq Tablet.
and I'm on my final warning at work (insubordination my ass...)

Wish me luck...

There is a reason why I love fanfictions so much.
Ready?

They're a good way to write without giving away your completely original works.

I'm never going to try to publish a fanfic.  I'm never going to write fanfics for anything but fun and practice.
If somebody tries to steal it...well, think about it.
Would you rather it be your factiction, or your completely original piece that you've been planning to publish at some point?

I have a Fictionpress account, and for awhile I was uploading stuff...
But I can't do that anymore.
Too much theft, and first publication rights, etc.
But my Fanfiction.net account has been underused.  I had a few good ones going, and I've kind of left them hanging.
I'm thinking of starting it back up so I'm writing more.

If anybody's interested in DNAngel, I have one that will be re-uploaded and revised.  It takes place in the future in the POV of Daisuke's son, Daichii (remember him from the anime?  I forget the episode...)
I also have one in progress involving Kabuto Yakushi from Naruto.

Both very serious works, both with original characters that refuse to be Mary Sues.  I may post parts here, but I would appreciate it if the non-existent people reading this would pay a visit to Fanfiction.net once I get it going (oh come on, I know you're not here).

Unfortunately, this means goodbye to my FictionPress account.  I'll miss it, especially since I was getting pretty good reviews on my stuff.
But you do what you need to do.

(oh, and on another note, last day of Spanish today.  Adios, clase!)

So yesterday I downloaded Star Fox 64 onto my Wii.
And I'm still hooked on Mario Kart.
AND I'm hooked on Harvest Moon: Magical Melody

Weird combination, isn't it?

Seriously, though, I adore my Wii.  Brawl and Mario Kart are amazing games (So is Twilight Princess, though I haven't played it in awhile.  Same with Super Mario Galaxy). 
I ended up losing almost 1000 points on the Wi-Fi center on Mario Kart, though...I got disconnected cause of mom and lost 400 points, then I lost 300 and change because I got assaulted on the last lap of one race and unmercifully beaten up in several others.
I was at 8400 before, now I'm down to 7500.
Yeah, I'm not too happy.  I need to make up those points.

I just love video games in general, though they're definitely driving my blood pressure off the charts.  I get so competitive.  Even Tetris can piss me off at a certain point.  Mario Kart makes me belt out curses that would frighten the devil.
Strangely, though, Brawl never drives me insane.  Maybe it's because beating each other up is a core concept to the game, or maybe it's because I'm not as good at Brawl as I am at Mario Kart, so I don't care much about winning.

Whatever the reason...I blame society.  (heh)
