Japanese down, two psych tests to go.

I'm currently browsing through bad anime fanfiction and balking at the fangirl Japanese used in them. And, ugh. It's bad. But after my performance on my test today, what can I truly say about it? I will never ever speak Japanese again. Not until next semester at least.

*pretends to be productive*

Guess who's going to see Equus tomorrow?

Yes, moi. My friend Lauren demands to see whether Dan Rad. is a true Jew, and I am more than happy to accompany her. We will beat up the ticket man if we can't get tickets. Student rush and all that, you know?

But oh, the excitement.

Need an interesting challenge to throw yourself into this holiday season? Like Harry/Pansy?

Head over to pphp_challenge  and claim a prompt. Our Christmas prompt list is up for our first challenge. Comment to snag one and you're good to go.

Come on. You know you wanna.

Title: Making A Mess

Author: Empath Apathique

Word Count:

Request: Harry/Pansy, moving in together, get a housewarming gift (what is it? What does it do?)

Note: This was so fun! It went away from your request a bit, but…

-- -- -- --

( It's BANANAS! )

I need inspiration. I find it easier to write when given a prompt and a time limit from other people, so I've decided to whore myself to produce some Harry Potter drabbles. HarryPansy and DracoHermione are my OTPs, so I prefer to write those two, but I'm open to other couples as well (*cough* GinnyBlaise, RonLuna *cough cough8). Keep it interesting :)

Leave me a comment with the pairing,  prompt, and preferred rating you'd like to have your drabble include., and I'll try to have it for you ASAP.

And you guys better give me something. I need the practice!

Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.

**I'm not in a heterosexual marriage yet, but I plan to be someday in the future. And I don't think that the two girls--or guys--next door having the same union would hurt it in anyway.

Guess who sent in their absentee ballot today? Yes, I DID. I'm super excited to be voting legally in a large scale election. I mean, it was totally cool going into the booth and telling her who to vote for, but it's nice to do it on my own now, even if I'm just filling in bubbles on a sheet. Let's just hope my vote gets counted. Obama needs all the votes he can get!!

Oh, PS: If you guys aren't already apart of this, you should totally VOTE FOR WELLESLEY COLLEGE to be a part of the Victoria's Secret Pink Collegiate Collection!  I personally don't even own any clothing from the Pink collection but it's awesome to have a school name on their stuff anyways!

Come on, guys. We're a women's college and we're DAMN cool and stylish. Maybe I WILL buy something from the Pink collection if it has Wellesley name on it. Maybe Hillary Clinton will. She went here, after all *hint hint, wink wink*

Here's the link!  We HAVE to beat MIT otherwise we should feel ashamed...  Currently we are 8th but MIT is already in 3rd place! (I think it's because they have boys, who the girls easily manipulate into voting for their school. Which is unfair, I think, because it isn't as if the boys will be wearing PINK gear anyway...)

Vote For Wellesley to be PINK!

Off to study for my Abnormal Psych exam! Who's ready to be diagnosed with schizophreniform disorder??

Guess who just failed their Developmental psych test?

I want to cry.

So I have a bit of free time on my hands, and I've decided to dabble with a heartbreaking (but possibly veeeery racy) HarryPansy story that I started this summer. It has a lot of potential. I mean, I actually think it could be good, and I'm looking for opinions.

Anyone want to help?

A blurb:

( I Will Possess Your Heart )

Snagged from desdiamonds !!

Post the first line from your fifteen most recent fics and look for a trend.

The fics go from oldest at the top to newest at the bottom.

1. The door made a slight creaking sound as it opened, disrupting the quiet of the room. (My Hand In Yours, DomonRain series)

2. Keiko groggily opened her eyes, blinking away the last vestiges of the person in her dreams. (True, Yusuke/Keiko oneshot)

3. She was cooking again. (Quirks, Dramione oneshot)

4. She always thought of him when it snowed. (Love Like Winter, Dramione oneshot)

5. Hermione threw open the large French doors that led to the veranda on the back of Malfoy Manor, stumbling outside into the courtyard when she missed the last step. (Waiting, Dramione oneshot)

6. She really shouldn’t have stayed the night with him. (Demolition Lovers, Dramione threeshot)

7. The photograph sat serenely on the mantelpiece, a solitary figure of order in a room that was usually the scene of an ongoing war between two rambunctious boys. (Family Portrait, HarryPansy drabble)

8. She was in the bathroom, makeup strewn across the vanity and a steady stream of steam wafting up from the curling iron. (Lipstick, HarryPansy drabble)

9. Harry Potter bought his underwear from the second-hand robe shop. (Stalking Harry Potter, HarryPansy fourshot)

10. When he sees her, she is alone, sitting at a table at the far end of the room. (Angels Don't Live Here, HarryPansy twoshot)


Trends
-I am random as well.
-I absolutely positively could not write prior to item 7. The first sentences are atrocious (except Quriks, and maybe Demolition Lovers).
-Writing is a process--the more you do it, the better you get.
-I only write for exchanges and things of that sort. The only thing I've written without the pressure of a deadline were my anime fics, and one isn't finished (which sooo says something).

This was fun :)

so the

pphpficexchange is now over. Head over there to see the results of the voting. This is what I picked up:






Very surprising, I know. Didn't expect to win EITHER category. I only had my eye on one award, which I so pathetically lost, but beggars can't be choosers, and I'm still super happy that I won anything at all. Thanks for everyone who voted.

 

I know I'm late and I suck major ass for that but a very happy belated birthday wish to

emm718, who makes my life sweet and my days oh so gay. Haha.

 

Stole this from somewhere. Added a few questions. I'm interested to see other people's answers though :)

The Fanfiction Writer Questionaire
A lovely fangirl profil in which YOU talk about yourself!

1. How many fics have you posted? 9
2. How many are complete? 6 or 7, depending on how you look at things. All my HP fics are complete, though :)
3. Do you plan to complete your unfinished fics? There are two that I don't plan to continue, simply because they're for an old fandom and my heart isn't in it anymore. It sucks, but that's life. The muse wants what it wants.
4. In which fandom do you write the most? Harry Potter.
5. Who do you ship? Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger, but Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson is tied with the pair now.
6. What is your favorite story that you've written for this ship? For dramione, it's Love Like Winter. I feel like it's my best written story. I love it.
7. What story did you have the most fun writing? Waiting. One word: Lola!
8. What story did you have the hardest time trying to complete? Right now, I'll say Demolition Lovers, but there's a pphp story I wrote for the exchange that I can't claim yet that was a bitch...
9. What story did you write the fastest? Demolition Lovers. Ten days, bitches.
10. Are you a oneshot kinda gal, or are you in it for the long, epic multichaptered fic haul? Oneshot, twoshot, threeshot kinda gal, actually. Chaptered stories scare me.
11. What genre of story do you think your best known for? Demolition Lovers
12. What is your best story EVA? Love Like Winter
13. What is the least favorite story that you've written? Demolition Lovers
14. What story are you "Famous" for? ...Demolition Lovers. Who came up with these questions...?
15. Which author's first inspired you to write in this fandom? Kyra4 with "Valentine Encounter" and bambu345, with "Complexities." Nuff said.
16. Who inspires you now? Everybody, but I'm proud to say that I will befloorcoaster's hoe 'til the day I die. Not to mention a choice few who I forever fangirl for (emm718, basicaquatics). And the girl who wrote '1-2-3 Testing' and the other who wrote '52 Weeks' at the pphpficexchange. Because those stories were the freaking shizz. 

I hardly think this "profile" is finished (it's rather sparse, innit?) but I added about five questions, and hopefully others will do the same, so it gets big and huge and lives and breathes and all that other stuff. Like, for serious.
 

So the tickets for the free Bon Jovi concert in Central Park totally sold out in an hour. Meh!

...because baby is out! Yes!

It's funny, how I went from doting on a little girl--who's not quite so little anymore--to messing around with this little boy. A picture, because I feel nostalgic.


Now, to sleep...

A joke I found on Google. Hilarious:

Subject: Computer Hard and Software:

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system>activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.

I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help!

Thanks,
A Troubled User. (KEEP READING)

Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag, Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0! WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,
Tech Support
