Hi everyone, i'm new to both LJ and this community, so I come bearing fic!
Rurouni Kenshii is my genderbender AU for Rurouni Kenshin, and I think you can read it even if you don't know anything about RK, but I might be biased.

Paper finished and submitted for the one class, and I checked and found I still have three days to do the last of my blog posts. *whew*
Which is good, because I have a ton of stuff to do tomorrow, some RL and some prep for the other LIS class for Wednesday (when I will be a faux interviewer). I should be able to make a couple of the posts each day.Current Mood:  relieved |

Quick things before I leave for work.
Remember my list of Christmas things I want? Well, lj:mieren_lanfear has promised chocolate, and someone gifted me with paid IJ account! I don't know who you are, but THANK YOU. I didn't expect to get that, but I'm blown away! I'm preparing to change my layout soon. ♥
Also, it's December 2 in our country now, and I rolled out of bed with one thing in mind: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) snupin_santa
What do you know? MY GIFT GOT FIRST POST. Also?
IT'S FANTASTIC AND PERFECT AND FILLS ME WITH GLEE.
I can't do it justice. People, I got comics. With my prompt on "Ron and Draco and together. Snape and Lupin thinks it's a bad idea, because they've tried it, and it didn't work. But it leads them to think that they can try for a new future."
Leave comments, praises, cookies, WHATEVER. I got something SO PERFECT I don't know what extraordinary good thing I did this year. And to make sure you'll leave comments through any means:
Link to IJ
Link to LJ
Snupin Santa link
The details are perfect and I'm so touched that the person who picked me probably did this in an insanely long time. The thought humbles me--I'm awed and stunned.
I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. The gift I got is the BESTEST GIFT this Snupin holiday. I just...ACK. I will leave a long, long rant about this later, since it's already 11am and I have to go to work before lunch. But it's amazing and I went and babbled "Oh my god" and hyperventilated when I saw my name, saw the prompt, and went \o/ with a bit (a lot) of squealing and yelling when I clicked the link and saw COMICS FOR ME.
OH GOD I WANT TO CRY. This is the best day ever! ♥Current Mood:  jubilant |

Okay. I've reformatted so that it's double-spaced and all that good stuff, to see where I'm at; I have two more pages to write on this paper now. Maybe 600 words? It does still need a conclusion...
*think think think*
And I also need to make several more blog posts for the class, too. Also by tonight, I think, although I may have already gone over deadline on those... don't have the due dates handy here.
ETA: One... more... page... I think I will go home now though, and finish there.Current Mood:  cranky |

Bento anniversary! Bento # 450!

http://community.livejournal.com/bentolunch/3221596.html I'll freely admit that when I started doing bento some 1½ years back, I would never have thought I could keep it up for this long, let alone for 450 bentos in all. But here we are, at what I'd say is some milestone.
Yes, I know it's slightly anal to make and photograph 450 lunches. And yes I know the note is mirrored (I didn't notice until I saw the finished picture >_<)
But.. Well.. I'm kinda proud of myself ^_^

Bento # 450
Somen noodles decorated with cucumber and carrot cuttings. Stir-fried vegetables.
Beef rolls with ginger, garlic and green asparagus.
Two falafel on skewers. |

Lunch Box 609: This ain't kosher

http://community.livejournal.com/bentolunch/3221410.html  I didn't realize until I started to do this writeup how mixed a signal I'm sending with this lunch. I have mutant hot dogs made with kosher hot dogs. Hebrew National, because those are the most delicious hot dogs on this planet. I have lots of edamame, a cafeteria roll, and some baked Japanese sweet potato. And for dessert... chocolate chip bacon cookies.
No, I'm not kidding. Chocolate chip bacon cookies. That sounds scary at first, but enough of my friends have raved about them that I had to give 'em a try myself. And, guess what - they're good! After all, chocolate and salty go well together; eat a chocolate covered pretzel if you doubt me. And if you've ever eaten chocolate chip pancakes with bacon, you've got a pretty good idea what the flavor's like.

I'm in the mood to blog more again. I think I made the mistake of looking up knitting blogs and oogling all the pretty pictures and whatnot. XD I'm not very interesting in general. *shrugs*
*rubs hands together* Let's see what kind of novel I can put together for you. I'll start with my super *_* news. So the weekend before the holiday was a small convention in Atlanta (Super...something or other that wasn't really all that super). It was essentially a convention about Adult Swim and Anime. Dana Snyder and Doc Hammer are extremely funny so their game show panel amused the crap out of me. XD But that's not even why I went. I went because of this super cool lady...
That is none other than, Samantha Newark. She did the vocals and voice acting for Jem/Jerrica of Jem and the Holigrams. *_* I met her. She signed a CD for me! Heee! She's freaking cute as hell! Of course I stood there in front of her and went completely blank. Thankfully my wife has some sense in her head and said that we loved the concert that she did. (I have pictures but I need to upload them, d'oh!) We (okay mostly my wife and her) chattered for a while and then I shuffled off cursing my wife. She continued to taunt me for the rest of the day about how cute I acted all star struck. :P I should give you and extra large one. :P
If anyone's interested in her CD I'll see about zipping it up and uploading it somewhere. It's all her stuff, but I really wish I could find some of her other stuff now. There's a song that she did at her concert that I LOVED, but its not on her CD. ;_; I just need to convince my wife that it's totally cool for me to download the two covers that she did on iTunes later. ^_^
Okay so in more real life news. I'm almost officially the cafe manager in my store. *dances* I'm so excited. I start this week taking on the duties and then hopefully by the following week I'm going to get to the pay to go with it. *eye rolls* I still have to talk to people about what is going on.
I spent most of the day yesterday trying to make sure that the whole cafe was perfect and I think I managed to make someone just shake their head in confusion or roll their eyes or something where I'm pretty much just annoying. I'm nervous because this is the first time I've been given a management position. I'm trying to ensure that I have everything together and know all of the answers to the 1000001 questions that haven't been answered yet. I'll probably calm down in a bit once I know that I'm not doing too terrible. It also doesn't help that my mind goes faster than the rest of me. I've already been told that I'm "stressing out" but I wasn't exactly given the opportunity to explain that I lost track of where my mind was going because I got distracted and it was frustrating. It's not stressing so much as sighing over my overactive mind. *shrugs*
I'm also back to my knitting! *dances* That's exciting I know. I'm finishing up a lap blanket for a girl that I used to work with. Pretty simple garter box, but it still takes a while to get it finished. XD Then I'm working on a cardi for myself and I really need to start working on a baby blanket for my youngest brother's first. (*insert wangst about not having a baby in my house*)
This is the second time I've attempted to make a cardi for myself. I'm not very varied in my knitting. I've got a ton of hats and scarves in my closet that i've made, but nothing more substantial than that. The biggest project I've completed so far was the baby blanket I made for my middle brother's first kid. I had only done that pattern so that I could outdo my retarded aunt's trapazoid. None of the sides were even and my brother was the one that asked if a blanket was supposed to be like that. (Yes it's terrible to say that about an elder, but she's an alcoholic idiot that's bleeding my uncle dry and is generally not liked by the family.)
The first time I tried to make myself a cardi I lost it. In the worst possible way. I took it with me to the movie theater because I enjoy knitting while I'm watching my movies. Then I...LEFT IT THERE! *wails* I called them the next day but they had already thrown it away. I was so depressed that I didn't touch the thing again. I lost the whole back piece and I just didn't have it in me to go back and finish it. I will be going back I think once I finish my second attempt, because I'm having way too much fun doing this.
I'm about halfway finished with the back piece of my new cardi. It's got a cute eyelet pattern on it, but I've already decided against going with most of the pattern. The bottom and the sleeves have ribbing and I just don't like ribbing so much. I did the bottom of mine as moss stitch and then the body is supposed to be reverse St st and I said ick and will just sew it all together on the other side. It'll look nicer that way. Or at least I'll like it better that way. Maybe next time I'll try out the ribbing, but it just doesn't do much for me. Of course there's also the obvious difference of materials. I'm using Red Heart again and I can hear the chorus of screaming knitters from all over. I just don't see why it matters so much. Yeah sure it would feel nicer to knit with something softer, but it won't make my wallet feel better. I can't bring myself to spend $60 just to make a cardigan. Hello? For that I'll go get one at Kohl's for $20. In fact, I'll get three and spend the same amount. I like knitting and I don't mind using less expensive yarns to make the same nice things that other people enjoy.

Thanks to a bit of gentle (but totally non-sexual!) mousie!prodding, I finally put a master list of all my stories together in one post, which can be found here.
The link is also in the sidebar of my LJ - I considered using a permanent sticky post on top, but I don't really like the look of that.
I tried to put everything in a semblance of order - fics are roughly sorted by length, genre, and date of posting, so hopefully it will be easier to navigate than the lists I keep in my memories.
Although I admit I'm glad that I pretty much stopped writing drabbles two years ago, or it would have taken me another day of coding - and at this point, I don't even want to think about doing an IJ version...Current Mood:  content |
