I had a whole long entry typed up yesterday, but then Abiword decided to be a bitch and close, and I lost the whole thing, and I didn't have time to retype it before work. Meh. So let's just do a summary, shall we?

Writing
1.subrosa_tennis... guh. I have a ficlet that I can use, but it's about half the required minimum length. Then again, I originally wrote it for Hikago with the thought that I could convert it and use it for subrosa if I had to (which is why I didn't go ahead and post it)... so it may lose some of that length with the conversion, I don't know yet. But right now that's all I've got unless I use the fic I never finished from last time, but I don't think I can finish that by the due date. And... that fic requires me to be in a certain mood. I... can't work on it right now. Meh. *is screwed*
2. Kink Meme. No joke, I have a list of 10 prompts on that thing that I want to write. Will I get to all of them? Probably not. But I can start, particularly with the ones that haven't gotten responses to yet. I've already done 1 1/2... (I say one half because one of them was... hardly worth mentioning, really. XD)

Podfic
1. What on EARTH possessed me to sign up for (possibly) FOUR fics in ihikago? Okay, granted, one of them may not end up happening depending on whether Akichan finishes it or not, but still. And TWO of them are smut. Just... kill me now.
2.aiwritingfic: I apologize profusely in advance for what my Americanized pronunciations will do to your fic. I'm sure that I'll mess that up horribly... please don't kill me? D:

KINK MEME
1. Okay. Guys. You know I love you, right? And I know Hikago fen tend to be a bit lazy... but guys. Seriously. Prompts are great, but we also need people writing them, too. There's a bunch of unanswered prompts there, and some of them are really awesome. Hence why I want to write so many of them. (Some of them are a little scary too, but to each's own, I guess...) So... please write? *gives everyone puppy eyes* It doesn't even have to be anything long, a drabble will do for some of them, just answer the prompt. Please? *begs prettily*
2. Remind me next time I do something like this that there really are some things I don't want to see appear in my inbox. <_< I'm pretty open when it comes to kinks (even if I wouldn't ever do it myself), but even I have my limits. If I do something like this again and say it's a free for all, please hit me very hard in the head. XD

Becoming An Adult
1. I hate doing my taxes. Luckily I make crap so I can do them online for free, but still. The federal isn't so much of a big deal. State income taxes, however, are a bitch. At least New York state is. >_< Bastards. On the upside, that's done except for when they e-mail me to tell me that they accepted my forms, I've got to print out a form and sign it to send to them. Which isn't so much of a big deal, so whatever.
2. Applying for a credit card shouldn't be that big of a deal, right? I mean, I'm 24. Time to join the adult world of credit card debt. XDDD No, seriously, I need to start building up my credit. I have NONE. Which, really, is just as bad as having bad credit. And I don't want to run into any situations again like when I visited Akichan and they wouldn't let me use my combination debit/credit card. Bastards. I had all of two dollars and some odd change when I got home. XD Which... really kind of sucked, and I'd like to prevent that from happening again if at all possible. I'm not planning on doing anything stupid with it, just small items and emergencies and whatnot. So why am I so nervous about this?
3. Need to clean my room, desperately. But it's a huge project and I don't want to. <_<
4. The cookbooks I ordered came in yesterday. YAY! *cheers*

Anime
1. I started going through the aarinfantasy stuff again. I was scared, after what happened last time (Boku no Pico... *shudders*), but I started with Sukisyo... it seems cute and interesting so far, and I'm about halfway through the series. I'd say... chances are, if you like Gravitation, you'll probably like this. It's shounen-ai and not yaoi from what I can see at the moment, unless something changes between episode 8 and 13. XDDD
2. I should work more on Bleach. Honestly. But I think I'll go back to bed for a while first. Mom decided to wake me up at noon when I didn't even get to bed until 6:30. -_-

Er... this ended up being way longer than I planned. Sorry guys. XD I promise I'm shutting up now. ^_^;;;;;;;;;

**EDIT** They rejected my credit card application, so I guess I don't have to worry about it. This is totally a Catch-22 here: I can't get a credit card/loan/anything because I don't have credit. But I can't get credit without a credit card/loan/anything. How does this make any sense?

Writing - YOU CAN DO IT. Shortfic = YES.
Podfic - awwww. Why not just listen to how the anime says it?
Kink meme - I have one in the works. It's ... still not yet written. But it will be.
Credit card - ouch. Sorry to hear that. I don't know how the decisions are made--I've only been rejected ONCE in my lifetime, and that was when I was too new to Japan and didn't have the required resident history.

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

Podfic- Because... well, if I remember correctly, that won't help so much with yours, being historical AU and all. XDDD
Kink Meme- I... er... wasn't actually trying to make people feel guilty. Mostly. XD Sorry if it came off that way. -_-
Credit card- It could be any number of things. There's the part where I don't have any credit. Also some companies apparently will reject you if they feel you don't make enough money- that very well could've done me in too. Oh well. *shrugs*

[love]

Would you like me to record the names for you?

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

I still couldn't make any promises, but it sure couldn't hurt if you wouldn't mind. XD Also, the fish names would help too. XDDD I was just looking at the fic going "Gah, what was I thinking? I don't know how to pronounce any of that." XD

Thank you, dear. <3

Lazy? :p I filled a request before I submitted one. But I do think someone got greedy on the second page - that person who requested about ten AkiHika stories. I wouldn't bother writing those if I were you. :grins:

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean offense, dear Anonymouse, I just meant that the Hikago fandom as a whole tends to be... well, lazy. XD There are, of course, exceptions- though I'll readily admit that I'm not one of them. XD

I can't be sure without looking, but yes, I think a few of the AkiHika were among the ones on my "to do" list. But considering that it's been a little over a week now and I haven't even finished ONE of the prompts I was intending to, I wouldn't hold my breath about it anyway. I mentioned the lazy thing, right?

Sorry, dear, it's 5am and my brain has pretty much lost all coherency by this point. I apologize in advance if I sound completely dumb.

[(Anonymous)]

I wasn't offended! Heh, I suppose it is rather laid back.

Lazy lazy. :spanks you in a non-kinky way:

I don't think my request will be filled, but it was rather odd and I was expecting that. It's still a fun post, though.

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

Well, it sounded like you might've been, and being that I don't know who you are, I figured I'd cover my bases. ^_^;;;

Yes, laid back. I happen to love that about Hikago fandom. It's not completely insane like some other fandoms I could (but won't) mention.

Meh, no spanking, I'm working on one! But... I have things with... actual due dates, and those should come first, you know? (Like subrosa that's due in a week, zomg I'm so dead. >_<) I should really put up a reminder post in the main comms, though.

You have me curious about what your request was. I think there was only a few that I absolutely would not do PERIOD... so maybe yours is on my list? ^_^ I'm also curious about who you are, but I won't ask that. ^_^;;;

[(Anonymous)]

Heh. I might get a little snide on occasion, but I'm rarely angry (it's difficult to convey tone online, yes?)

:nods: It's a nice, comfortable fandom (overall) compared to some of my other fandoms.

It's difficult to find time to write, especially if you want to produce quality works. Especially if you're a fairly slow writer. :raises hand:

Hmm... perhaps I'll tease you and see if you can guess. If you didn't like my request, it was certainly the unusual pairing. In Hikago, I actually like a lot of different pairings (the various combinations can be interesting, like... experimenting with mixing alcohol.) However, I tend to be drawn towards "rival" pairings.

If you can figure out which request I wrote, I'll tell you who I am. XD!!!

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

You naughty, naughty tease. XD

I think there was only a few I wouldn't do only due to pairing. The other one I absolutely refuse to touch... was just gross, in my opinion. To each's own, I guess.

Well, process of elimination, I guess... obviously, anything Akira/Hikaru is out, as well as Isumi/Waya (I'm assuming, that isn't exactly an unusual pairing.) I'm really hoping you didn't ask for the Kuwabara/Ogata/Kouyo, though obviously someone did. XD Also something that hasn't been written. *thinks* Going through my list here... there's the Yeongha/Akira, Hikaru/Mitani, Ogata/Hikaru (hair pulling), Mitani/Kaneko (discipline), Yashiro/Yeongha (getting what's coming to him). I'm loathe to put down Yashiro/Yeongha as a rare pair, but... I guess they kinda are, even though it's normal to me. ^_^;;; And let's see, rival pairings. That really only cuts out Ogata/Hikaru. XD Am I on the right track, anon?

Do I get a second guess if the first one is wrong? And... maybe another hint?

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't ask for a threesome! And no, I didn't ask for Akira/Hikaru (I've written that, and also there's no need to ask for something "standard" in a kink meme.)

:reads your list: I'm afraid you're on the wrong track. It must be that my request was distasteful to you. :amused: Well, if you can't figure out my request, you could try to guess which one I wrote... it was a fairly long piece, and was liked by the requester. It's not het. Not a super-popular pairing, but not rare either.

Yes, I'm a horrible tease. "Anon" is too much fun.

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I thought I'd listed everything that hadn't been written, aside from the Akira/Hikaru and the one Isumi/Waya request... unless it WAS the Isumi/Waya, in which case... I looked that one over because I was under the impression that it might be distasteful because of the pairing, not the prompt. ^_^;;; Either that or I fail.

....I wonder, were you one who absolutely refused to claim your fic~?

[(Anonymous)]

No, you didn't list it. I requested Touyo Kouyo / Sai. Lolz. I'm telling you that because you did guess correctly - I was the one who specifically stated that I wouldn't claim my fic. :)

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

...how did I skip that one? XD I probably wouldn't write Touya Kouyo/Sai (unless a very rabid bunny bit me in the ass), but I'd probably read it... if Sai were alive, it would've been in the realm of possibility. ^_^

Heh. That means you wrote mine. <333 (I'm perfectly willing to admit that, no one would be surprised anyway.)

[(Anonymous)]

The mental block was too great, obviously. LOL. Yes, Kouyo's old... but he's still hot in that sort of wrinkly, distinguished Sean Connery or Harrison Ford way. And rival pairings are just love. (Yes, of course if Sai were alive, and somehow Akiko weren't a factor.) But for kink, you don't exactly have to be logical anyway.

Oh, did I? Well, I'm happy you liked it. It was fun to write those two characters. Ogata's such a damn tease. He's lucky Isumi put up with him.

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

I never saw the appeal of Sean Connery... then again, what do I know? XD I definitely agree with you on the rival pairings bit, though. <333

...so what happened to telling me who you are, dear Anonymouse?

[(Anonymous)]

It's the accent, I think. I like distinguished older men with those hot accents. Like Patrick Stewart. Or Ian McKellan.

Oh... you remembered. LOL. :sends you a text message:
