*Edit*Juunigou, you're quite right about that. *sighs* -_-;; Besides which, is the board what you meant by "something?" If so, then... well, that's a really good way to respond. ^^

At least, in my humble opinion. ~_^

------------

Ya know, regarding the whole PN mess... I know the thing is undergoing some SERIOUS changes. There were a lot of mistakes made, yeah - in fact, Skullmac himself (one of the admins) said that if he'd KNOWN such elitism was going on on the board, he would have stopped it a long time ago.

Shame he didn't.

I still maintain that there would have been a better way to save the FF board; but on the other hand, I look at what happened tonight: A newbie showed up, and nobody flamed him. Not only that, he got replies.

It sucks, what's happened, plain and simple - however, I'm not giving up on it. I'm going to try to keep in contact with the people who left (geez, guys, I LIKE you ;_;) and I'm going to see this board to its bitter end - or it's eventual resurrection. Either way, I'll be sure to give it a decent burial if it dies. ~_^

And it looks like I'll be adding a new board to my list of daily visits, IF all goes well. ^_^;;

P. S. Manzai - don't forget to ask me. I DO know of a couple of other good places you can go for feedback.. but, shh. Theyr'e secret. ~_^

Oh - and I almost forgot.

I... am so... evil. No, really, I'm bad - I'm awake at 4:40 am when I SHOULD be sleeping so I can manage to go to church in the morning.

I think I'm going to be heathen today and sleep in. *coughs* Hopefully I'll have some spooky GW dreams to get my muse going...

* *Love's Labours Won: A Love Story* *

People have been asking me for this thing, so I've finally started on it. ^^;; Chapter one is up: it's an epilogue to Dominion: Reprise, so if you haven't read that, then this won't make a whole lot of sense.

But ANYWAY... enjoy. ^^ This sucker focuses on Cumber - 'bout time I gave him a happy ending. ^_^

And again, I say:

Hey - if the image of Heero Yuy in Groucho Marx glasses and a tournament wrestling belt isn't enough to put at least a vaguely less misersable look on YOUR face, then you simply don't get out enough. ~_^

Yup, Leash - the bitch quit (scroll down if you're not sure what I'm talking about). And there was much rejoicing. ^____________^

Juunigou, you have plenty of reason to be in a righteous blaze of fury - but do give me SOME warning what you're gonna do to the poor slobs over at PN...

Leareth, yes, I'm allright. ^^;; It's been a hell of a week, but I AM okay - sort of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now, no da? ^^; You're a dear for asking. ^_^ Of course, the stress from preparing for my audition is REALLY not helping... *chuckles wealky and notes she has about six more hours to practice today*

*taps on Lilack's door because she's been too quiet*

*taps on Taryn's door because she's been WAAAAAAAY too quiet*

Kunika, I'm just about settled in. ^_^ Soon I'll be able to get that address to you, 'kay?

Okay - here's the low-down. ^_^

Lisa is no more in the office. As it turns out, on top of the lies and POSSIBLE theft of money, she ran up over 2,000 dollars on the company phone bill for personal calls. And remember how I was at fault for EVERYTHING that happened? No matter what? *chuckles* She actually tried to blame this on me, too. Claims that I told her that all her personal calls would be free, "on the office account."

....um, right. I don't smoke weed, so... that never happened.

Anyway, the boss and a couple of people confronted her, and her response was to quit - and she says she's SUING us. Only kami knows for what.

Buuuuuuut she's GONE GONE GOOOOOOOONE!! *cackles*

Okay - low-down two. the PN message board has gone to hell in a handbasket; I won't point fingers or name names, but some people in power... really didn't act responsibly. >_< And oi... I don't know WHAT to say to that.

'Specially when I'm related to said people. *bangs head against wall* It's just... PRESSURE, you know? And Kal, if you're reading this (and you know who you are), kid - I LOVE you. I do. But this was just over the top....

Okay. Now that I've done ENOUGH damage and offended both friends and neighbors, here is some random comic relief. Enjoy... HEERO AND TROWA IN COSTUME!! (click on it for a larger image)

*laughing weakly* You know, Taryn's right; there are just some days when you don't think the world's worth saving any more. ~_^;;;;

Hence: I am finally joining DOE. Shoulda done it a while ago, of course, but... well, just feels RIGHT tonight.

Bwah.

Okay - no I'm not. *cackles* It had been a LONG day, and nobody was around, and... *snickers* Okay. The imp in me came out.

*chuckles again* Honestly, I know you WERE paying attention, my friends. ^_^ Just... well, no one had emailed me that day, nor referred to me anywhere that I could find... ^_____^ Aw, it was fun.

It's here, btw, for anyone who missed the glorious painful colors of blogdom.

Anyway, I thought I'd be nice and put a prettier - and much simpler - thing up. ^_^ It makes me happy. *is a pathetic fangirl* I guess we can call this the "condensed blog."

And OI - I still have much blog-reading to catch up on... and Leareth - why're you so down? @_@ What's been happening?

And Taryn's in FLORIDA... or was... *Blinkblink*

And Lilack, I like your new layout. ^_^

And Isa got a job! Wai!

Aaaaaaaaaand I haven't read the rest yet. *pants* Wheee... much to do. ^_^ Anyway, thanks everybody for the wee notes of encouragement and such that I've been getting - it really IS wonderful to know folks care, ya know? ~_^

Kay. Is late. Must go to bed, but before I forget...

New chapter: The Bet, Part One is up - go read. ^_^ Still under construction, obviously, but as you can see, this sucker has gone WAY in a direction I hadn't planned for.

That's okay. Should be fun.

Be warned: this is going to be my Head Messing Piece of the decade. Muaha. Again. ~_^
