Firstly I wanted to thank you so much for writing for me. I'm always happy to participate in Yuletide and I'm geeked for this round. So thanks! As for me, I'm an extremely easy person to write for. I like things that are sweetly sad, or just sweet. Something nice and cute or melancholy.

:) My own work can be found at adagio_piano if you're curious about how or what I write.

Dear brain,

I am not going to write about a middle aged woman, who married late, has children she doesn't love, and who is spiraling into a depression/insanity. It would be an amazing story, I know, brain. It would color the want of conformity and the false hope that awash many women. It would detail the weakness of someone's character, and despite her being weak, one would sympathize with her, because that is what you want. I know, because you just read Yellow Wallpaper along with some poems and you love them like you love Book of Franza.

I am NOT, and I repeat, NOT capable of writing like Elizabeth Bishop, Charlotte Perkins Gilman or Ingeborg Bachmann and I would make a mess of it. I repeat, I am NOT a Bishop or a Bachmann, no matter how much I love them both. And don't even start, I'm nowhere near a Virginia Woolf. Woolf was born 100 years before me and brilliantly insane in a way that people who study literature can typically only sit back in admiration of.

Bishop? Bishop's work stands alone, she can do more in a few lines than some people can do with PAGES. See Insomnia.

( Insomnia )

See? See that? Do you even grasp that? OF COURSE YOU DO NOT YOU ARE MY BRAIN. Look, I get that you want to defend literature as you're a rare brain and you've studied both. You know now that the "ease" of a literature degree is really what you make of it. While you can study these writers, and write okay papers on these writers and attain an "A" far easier than you can put together a Differential Equation to depict a working circuit or outline Fluid Dynamics for your physics class, it doesn't mean that doing well in literature is easy.

No, as I just outlined above, what you are looking at is brilliance and you're not there, kiddo. Brilliance in literature is a rare talent, the same as artistic brilliance is rare. There are many people who write "well", that is to say that they get an "A" they publish and they make alright livings. But some topics are left to the brilliant writers that you've read and studied and should probably not be butchered by you.

This is not to say that you're not a wonderful brain. Honestly, I find you to be quite exemplary in most situations. As I said before, you're a rare brain that handles science, math and writing with a jack of all trades sort of ease. However, you're a jack of all trades brain. You're not a literature giant brain. Please don't push me to make a fool of myself.

( To Do List )

At the top of my lungs. I don't know what's got me so frustrated and upset. I need to call OSU tomorrow, I'm so... tired of waiting for him to call me back. I'm both happy and upset that I'm not able to go to school after the 25th. I really... okay, it hurts. I wanted to keep working. HOWEVER, my job will work me as much as I need. And I have all my notes and books, I will study still and work still for school.

I'm also really trying to write again. Not the small stuff (that I DO enjoy doing), but the large stuff. I really want to feel like I'm putting myself out there again. I feel like I've lost some aspect of myself without being able to put whatever fantasy my brain puts together. It's strange, silly even. But I feel like a large part of who I am I don't tell people. It's hard for me to put exactly what Kas does and what Kas feels out into the world. If I'm putting out a fiction, I can at least let people see things through my lens, understand me, and then draw their own conclusions.

It's a less obtrusive way of showing people who I am in reality. Quite a useful thing, fiction.

I'm working on it.

OLD CHAPTER LISTS

Here are the outlines of fictions that I have either left behind completely or haven't visited in awhile. Because of that, they are going to get some major overhauling done to them. I've had a lot of people ask me to keep this information up, however, so it will remain here. Be warned, some of this stuff is over ten years old.

( List behind the cut )

Because my lists have gotten very large and unwieldy, I've created a new index

I'm finding some fiction that I forgot to tag back on adagio_piano I am going to have to reorganize the listing of fictions now, it's a bit unwieldy. It'll be a good project for over the weekend while I'm trying to not use my Engineering Theories book to off myself.

At least I got a lot of work done, 6 hours even when this is my "light" day. And, I'm going to just say it. I ROLE PLAY AGAIN!! not in the kinky way you perverts!. If you're new to me or anything from one of those, just comment here and I'll add you. It's not a friends cut, it's a friends ADD! I will make this private again at the end of the month if I remember.

- Phoenix Down: FFVII: Rufus, "Not my Father’s Son" for Tiny Baby Phoenix #6


Fandom: Final Fantasy 7 (Before Crisis)

Rufus loved Midgar the way that most men loved women. Amon loved nothing at all.

"Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!"


1. I'll relax when you stop gallivanting all willy nilly like some stallion in need of gelding
2. It wasn't a bad speech. Evyan should know, he helped write it. Tarick wasn't the sort to stay to a script, however, and as predicted, it got to his typical bloody cries of an almost anarchtic revolution. From his spot, Evyan was half hidden. He could watch the crowd and keep an eye out for any party crashers
3. She never spoke to him like a child; instead she spoke to him like a rather short adult
4. The boy struggled with the name; it was long, important and foreign on his small tongue
5. Well, why don't you go box with that demon outside then?
6. From there, Hell had consisted of meeting Liam again, signing numerous contracts, and then being placed in a time he was extremely unfamiliar with
7. The problem with being a private detective was a lack of responsible clientele
8. To this, the fox did not look amused
9. It’s snowing. Something about the snow always makes my heart lift; perhaps it is because of where I came from. I remember my mother and I would sit and just let the soft flakes fall on us, matting together until it actually became warm. Everything becomes very crisp and clean in a good snowfall. You truly cannot hide anything as it crunches underfoot and washes away the colors of the summer. The silent noise as well as the sounds vanish leaving only what is.

- misogynistic fucking idiots. Actually, no, this goes beyond misogyny. This, my friends, is all the way to skeevy-ville. From the same classy bunch that staged a religious protest for a VIDEO GAME (so that not only could they make fun of people's beliefs, BUT THEY COULD ALSO get money) comes please harass our models, they aren't people really.

Oh you read that right. Go on, commit "acts of lust" with these sexy girls. THE BEST PICTURE WINS!! What do YOU WIN for taking a "LUSTFUL" picture? a "SINFUL" night with two women.

Okay, listen. You can say I'm wrong to be pissed and I will rip your damn asshole. I danced for a living. I had people tell me, to my FACE that "I paid for you, so I can touch you". You are putting HUMAN BEINGS into a position where someone has the "I own you", "I won you", "I paid for you" mentality.

"Oh you signed up for it." FUCK. YOU. I did not and neither did those women. They are there to entertain. Sign some autographs, take some pictures and sell a product. They are business women. Just because their business is "sex" does NOT give the people buying to dictate how they use them. Even a prostitute can say "I don't do that".

Let me say it again. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE SELLING SOMETHING DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING GOES. Is that clear? Do I need sparkle text? Selling sex does NOT put you at the lowest common denominator. It does NOT remove your damn humanity and it MOST ASSUREDLY DOES NOT mean that you have no values or morals and should NEVER be offended.

These women are PEOPLE. I hope to GOD that they don't get hurt by this. And if they do, I seriously hope they sue the shit out of this company of idiots.

Just in case you're pissed like me?

Well, we're another year older. BUT STILL YOUNGER THAN ENGLAND NANA NANA BOO BOO ;) God I love being so mature. At anyrate, I'm going to probably sit in the backyard and watch the fireworks from the air force base. It's nice having it so close.

IN the meantime, I wanted to do a little Mem. You mention a character from my fandoms and I'll post a YouTube (or other media) video for them. :)

I wanted to do this because I, through a trail of the net rekindled my love of Weird Al and found Rufus ShinRa's (Final Fantasy Seven) themesong: This is the Life
