Dang.... I forgot. I posted here a day or two ago, but then my computer decided to hate me (as always)... oh well. But now I don't remember what I said before.... oh yeah! I just remembered. I went on a rant about my story, because I was really hyper about it that day. Nothing else is really going on in my life (well, my story IS my life), so I hope you don't mind if I rant about that really quickly, since I haven't really talked about it much here. Or, at least, I don't think I have.
Anyway, the story is a fanfic based off of the anime Shugo Chara (I made a topic for this anime in the anime section of the site). In the anime, everyone has an 'egg of the heart' within them, a.k.a a 'would-be self.' This is the person you want to be, or the dream you have. With a few special people, this egg actually becomes reality and hatches into a little tiny person, personifying your wanted self. These are guardian characters. My fanfic has the characters from the show in it, but the main character is someone of my own invention. She has, unsurprisingly, a dragon Shugo Chara. (it doesn't matter what I write about.... there's almost always a dragon of some kind invading my stories. Usually as a main character)
So, anyway, the reason why I was so hyped that day was that I had just received three reviews in the previous three or four days, which was a massive thing for me. I normally didn't get that many reviews. I was absolutely ecstatic. And now, today, I'm still happy, because I just posted a new chapter last night, and I already have four reviews~! I'm really proud of my story, actually. Despite the fact that it's a fairly popular anime and a lot of people write fanfics, mine is the longest on fanfiction.net, and no where close to being finished. At the moment, it's 113,000 words long! It makes me happy, because this is the first time I've ever been able to stay motivated on any story that wasn't just a short story.
So, that fanfic is more or less my life, whenever I'm not posting here or at Poketto no Takara. Sorry for ranting, but I just love my story... Not much else going on in my life, except my mom getting really angry at everyone due to the fact that it's tax time.

Lol, tax time just stresses people...XD
You fanfic sounds really interesting!! post linkzorz plz!?
I have a couple of Fanfics on dA, but I don't work on the Pokemon one much anymore, if at all. I was planning on writing a new chapter of the Negima one, but I never got around to it...also, it turns out Negima isn't a very popular thing right now. XD I would love to write something online and get some nice reviews on it.....xp

www.fanfiction.net/s/4758180/1/A_Possibility_of_Evil^There's a link to chapter one~ Though unless you watch at least a couple of episodes of Shugo Chara first, it might be hard to understand who all the characters are (I don't describe anyone really, except for my original characters whom no one would know). I've never heard of Negima. What is it? Anyway, my life right now is kinda hectic - band events and project overload all around. I've got a band competition this Saturday, another thing I've got to play at on Sunday, and then Thursday through Sunday of next week I'll be gone on a band trip to a big band competition. And that means I miss two days of school, which means that I have to get ahead now or else have to work on the trip (which I hate doing). AND I've got a big research paper I'm doing for World History (I got to choose any subject - mine is "The historical basis of dragons in Western culture"... lol, I love it!), as well as some silly little brochure thing I've got to make for Morality. Add it all together, and it makes for a very sad me... at least until next Thursday comes around ^_^

Grr, I hate being overwhelmed like that. Right now I'm a little overwhelmed myself. I've been trying to catch up on a lot of homework. As you know, we didn't have our computer for three weeks, so I couldn't do school. Then my school videos weren't working, so I got even more behind in school. Well, I'm almost done getting caught up, however I'll have to do school tomorrow, which is Saturday. I'll have to watch three hours of video plus write 750 words. Than a week from this Sunday I'm singing in my church's youth praise band, May 17 I'm singing in my church's youth choir, and May 19 I have a guitar recital. So, I know hopw you feel! I hope you get caught up!!

Hope you get caught up, too! Actually, I am (to my surprise) not feeling overwhelmed by all this. I just plod through it, then feel accomplished when, shockingly, I actually finish. Plus, the research paper is really finding information and putting it together about a subject that I love, and it really doesn't seem like work whatsoever. Though I will admit I'd prefer to be doing other, less taxing things that don't use up five hours of my day (as was the case today, due to the fact that I get distracted by all the other interesting myths and the numerous different dragon legends). And, surprisingly, I think I'll even have enough time to make my regular commitment of one chapter a week in my story, despite being gone for four days.
I got a II on my solo today~! Which, while not the best, is good considering that it's my first time at that level of judging and also concerning the fact that I don't take lessons, while a lot of other people there do. I'm just glad I got it over with... I had to get up at five in the morning just so I could straighten my hair (which I don't normally do, but it looks extremely horrible and unprofessional if I don't) and get there (which was a bit over an hour's drive).

Thanks! I'm really glad you're not feeling overwhelmed. That does help that it's about something you love. The 750 words I'm writing is about a fantasy book, so that's easy. But the videos were in Biology, which can be very interesting but not when you have to watch countless hours of the same topics being covered over and over again. And Math Sciences, which no matter what is going to bore me to tears!!!! But I got that done, just have the 750 words to go. So, I'm feeling quite better myself.
YAY!!! I'm so happy for you!! That's really cool. That stinks you had to get up so early though, at least it's over!!

I really should make a new thread in the farewell section for this, but it seems like I'm not on often enough to feel justified in doing so... anyway, don't expect me on for the next few days. I'm going on a band trip! We leave thursday, and don't get back until sunday. And before and after that, as I've mentioned before, I'm working on getting my homework done. And I should be working on some of that homework now, so even this is a bit rushed. Anyway, I'll see you guys in a few days~ Sorry for the absence.

Have fun!!!! Don't worry about being gone, I'll take care of the place in your absence, LOL. I hope you have lots of fun doing......whatever it is you do on a band trip! Again, don't worry about being gone. See you in a few days!

Sorry I haven't gotten on since I got back - more make up work than I expected, plus multiple activities going on after school this week. I really don't have much time right now; I just wanted to let you know why I haven't been on yet. I'll get back on as soon as possible~

I'm back, at least for a while. I've got finals coming up soon, so studying might start taking up time. But it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
Anyway, school is quite... interesting right now. I'm dissecting a cat in biology. My group just finished skinning the poor thing today. I've got to memorize all the muscles this weekend... I'll also be typing out the rough draft of my dragon paper this weekend, and once I've made the final copy, I'll post it here~
Not much else to say... I'm kinda tired right now, which might have something to do with it...

*cries* Poor kitty! I adore cats...now I'm sad.  Well, let's hope the cat died of natural causes, or at least a painless death. Anyway, I'm glad you're back, at least for the mean time. I can't wait to read your dragon paper, I bet it'll be great! |

Sorry, didn't mean to put you in a sad mood... I'm not sure how it died, though...
But I just spent... oh, about six hours straight working on my dragon paper rough draft. I'll type up the final copy tomorrow evening, though chances are it might be too late by the time I finish for me to work up the energy to post it then. But, despite those six hours, it really wasn't all that boring or anything. I mean, I like dragons. I also like to write. Admittedly, I would have preferred have been writing my fanfiction story, but this was still fairly entertaining. And it made me feel productive~ ^_^
