Keeping an Open Mind
2004-01-15 00:01:46
Well, over the past week or so I've been sifting around reading a few fanfics to get a feel for it. I still don't knwo whether I'm cut out for this, as I usually delve into the serious, but I've found some very interesting stories.
"Wishful Thinking", a crossover between Oh/Ah My Goddess and Neon Genesis Evangelion, is one of the weirdest f*cking things I have ever read, but I'm liking it. Taking the three goddesses of O/AMG and putting them in New Tokyo-3... NERV's reactions to these guys are unbelievable...! Shinji and Skuld fall in love, Kaji hits on Bell after she's just materialized out of a mirror... and it seems that this story has a happy ending. WOW!
...too bad about the lack of Skuld footage... -
Chaps 1.1 and 1.2 :)

Yay! I have the first bit of my fanfic finished. About 2 3rds of the first chapter. Out of 6. Sigh...
I think it's good so far, I've had some people review it, including my writing teacher at school. Definately gives more background... I hope it turns out well. -

It's 9:30 at night, I'm barely starting my homework.
After school, I went to the Anime Club. YES! This was my first time in a while, as I'm usually tied up with the Literary Magazine staff. We watched Legend of Himiko, an anime whose best attribute is its opening song, IMO. I was one of the only people who'd seen it before, and I had a great time heckling the show on and off and providing spoilers to my poor friends. I wish I could go to the club more often...
After getting home from school, I logged onto AIM, AMV.org, and FanFiction.net all at the same time. Hence, my starting work now.
Fanfiction's really interesting, not all just contrived brainless-ness. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can contribute.
I hope I don't screw this up...
Man, I really wanted to do more tonight. O well.
Night all! -
high-school angst
2004-01-11 21:52:05
Over the past week, my friend has been asking me for advice about his crush. He's told me a long story about what's happened so far, he doesn't know whether the person likes him currently, and he keeps asking me whether I think he has a good chance.
*bangs head repeatedly on keyboard*
First of all, I don't know his crush. My friend is the only source of info I have about this. But from what I've heard, he has a decent chance. I've told him this. So WHY THE HELL does he keep asking me OVER AND OVER AGAIN? All he talks/can think about is his crush! You know, there's a fine line between obsession and love! ...
Whenever any of my friends ask me for advice, they always say they're "In Love." How the hell do they know? They're high-school freshmen. Do they really think it will be the same a couple of years from now? I sincerely doubt it! Love takes a lot of time and patience and even if you feel love and want to have sex or marry them now, this may not end up happily.
Sigh. Every time a friend talks to me about this kind of thing, I go into worse-case-scenario mode. High-school relationships don't last long, and the ones that do rarely stay happy. I don't want my friends to get hurt, or to pine away over people who really aren't worth it.
I don't know why I'm always the Devil's Advocate (I think that applies here) when it comes to teenage romance. Maybe it's because my parents have raised me with a lot of awareness and education about life, maybe it's because I've never felt the way they do (Kinda depressing). I don't know.
But high-school doesn't last forever. We'll just see what happens and then cope with comes. That's life.
Goodnight -

Have a new latch-hook. Yay! I opened the kit to start working...and discovered that this sucker's bigger than I thought. O well.
I worked on it for about 15-20 minutes and finished one line of the rug. Fun!
