| 12:58 pm | Is Eddings merely a misspelling of "eddies"? My post. ( Yay for toothless Real Life! ) Current Music: "Kogaku Motet" - Nobuo Uematsu, Final Fantasy IX Sountrack |
| 12:47 pm | So how does one "Edd" an "ing", then? Collection post. Aki's: ( Real Life did not merely snack, it devoured ravenously. Parents aided with knife and fork ) My post: ( Real-life snackery ) Aki's post: ( I have kicked Real Life in the teeth, therefore rendering it incapable of snacking! ) Current Music: "Cheer Up Boys, Your Makeup Is Running" - Foo Fighters |
| 12:37 pm | Edd to the i-ng-s! My post. ( Real life snacking on you = INSTA-FORGIVENESS! ) Current Music: "Stranger Things Have Happened" - Foo Fighters |
| 12:28 pm | E-d-d-i-n-g-s Aki's post. ( I apologize for not being here yesterday: Real Life ate me ) Current Music: "Long Way Home" - Foo Fighters |
| 12:22 pm | Eeeeeddings! My post. ( Hee, I'm highlight-y! ) Current Mood:  accomplishedCurrent Music: "Let It Die" - Foo Fighters |
| 12:13 pm | An old favourite - Eddings again. Aki's post. ( Indeed there does. This is one of the highlights of my day, by the way - I'd forgotten how much I love book-discussion. ) Current Mood:  satisfiedCurrent Music: "Home" - Foo Fighters |
| 9:39 am | Lalalalaaaa.... Eddings. Mine this time. ( There seems to be a whole lot to say about Eddings, no? ) Current Mood: happyCurrent Music: "Wreck on the Highway" - Bruce Springsteen |
| Monday, April 28th, 2008 | |
| 3:43 pm | Eddings once more. Aki's post. ( You know, the titles in the Tamuli just sort of went all over the place. Belgariad was chess, Malloreon was Person's-Title of Place, Elenium was jewels... and then just some random - two places and a group. Not that I actually had any point to this, but it serves fairly well for spoiler-text. ) Current Music: "Knife Chase (instrumental)" - Tom Waits |
| 3:23 pm | Eddings, yet again. Here comes the new post, same as the old post - mine, this time. ( 'ware the spoiler-text! ) Current Music: "My Father's House" - Bruce Springsteen |
| Sunday, April 27th, 2008 | |
| 1:18 pm | Eddings again Aki's post. Unfortunately, due to the restrains with emoticons available on IJ, a lot of TSR's wonderful smilies have been cut out. ( Witty spoiler text goes here! ) Current Music: "Across the Border" - Bruce Springsteen |
| 1:08 pm | Eddings *whistles* You might get this archived in fits and starts, because aside from going through these posts, I've got a whole lot of other things to do - but this is a good way to procrastinate on pretty much all of them. ( These tags are nifty things, aren't they? ) Current Music: "Blaze of the Soul Reaper" - Shiro Sagisu, Bleach OST |
| 12:57 pm | Eddings discussion, cont'd. Aki's reply to my first post: ( In which there is lots of stuff to talk about ) Current Mood: antsy Current Music: "Halo" - Foo Fighters |
| Thursday, April 24th, 2008 | |
| 10:55 am | David Eddings, discussions and archivising. So Aki and I got to talking about David Eddings, because I had - for some ungodly reason - decided to re-read The Malloreon/The Elenium/The Tamuli and posted about it in my wordcount-thread on TSR. After talking on and off about Eddings' work for almost a month, we decided it might be good to archive our discussion somewhere, in case someone else wanted to take part or just read our mad ramblings. So I'm putting it here - each post in my wordcount thread will be a separate post here as well, so anyone who wants to comment can jump in wherever they want. ( It all began rather innocently... ) Current Mood: inquisitive Current Music: "Eerie Canal" - Bruce Springsteen version |
| Thursday, April 17th, 2008 | |
| 2:34 pm | Trolls and Frog-Eating Princesses So I took it upon myself to translate a Swedish fairytale, written by Walter Stenström. I'm unsure of publication-date, but it's the early half of the 20th century. ( The Boy and the Trolls, or, The Adventure - a Swedish fairytale, translated ) Current Mood: accomplishedCurrent Music: "With a Wonder and a Wild Desire" - Flogging Molly |

| 4:53 pm | School and stuff. When I'm nervous, I get nauseous. As in, cold-sweating, chills-down-my-spine, inches-from-vomiting-pyrotechnics kind of nausea. ( Why am I talking about vomit? Well... ) Also - holy shit, I'm twenty years old. o.O Current Mood:  weirdCurrent Music: "Home" - Foo Fighters |
| Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 | |
| 8:12 pm | Of fairytales and little things I'm feeling chatty for some reason. ( Herein lies babble ) Current Mood:  curiousCurrent Music: "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners" - Foo Fighters |

| 9:23 pm | My mind is... so very strange sometimes. On occasion, I can go for weeks and weeks feeling like I'm a talentless hack and oh, why am I even pretending to be good at anything when every idea I have turns out to be flat and boring and as formulaic as porridge - - and then I have times like right now, when I'm simultaneously running three different projects, doing quite well on all of them (I can't say "doing really well" because even if it might be true, my very subjective Inner Critic is a relentless perfectionist), enjoying everything, brain sparking new and shiny things every time I turn around. And I just added another project to the pile. Not only do I have my fairytale (dubbed The Witch and the Wishing Tree, first draft almost done, in need of a harsh edit) and my webcomic and my survival horror (The Night The World Went Dark - talked about it at length in my last post) - now, my fevered imagination has decided to return to the world of fanfic, which I thought I had if not abandoned, then at least deliberately lost on the way home. ( The blame can, as always, be placed on Square-Enix ) Current Mood: bubbly Current Music: "Tango Till They're Sore" - Tom Waits |

| 9:46 pm | Zombies and Monsters and Russians, oh my! I never play horror games - I get nightmares from watching CSI, for cripes' sake! - but I've spent the last week reading Let's Play's version of Resident Evil/Silent Hill, which are both survival horror games (though Silent Hill is more of a series of epic mind-fucks with zombies than any real-world let's-kick-the-shit-out-of-zombies-and-r So that's what I'm doing now. Writing survival horror. Only my zombies aren't zombies - they're monsters from a parallel universe/dungeon dimension/really scary magical place. However, they do invade a sleepy Oklahoma town with the intent of wiping it out. ( And this is where the Russians come in ) Current Mood:  creativeCurrent Music: "Resolve"- Foo Fighters |

| 10:06 am | Snips and ramblings and whatnot. I daydream. A lot. However, it's almost never about me personally - I daydream about my characters, writing out stories in my head that I'll never commit to paper, simply because they're frequently quite dead-end, and only made up to keep me distracted while I'm waiting for something else to happen. In essence, I tell my own bedtime stories. And no, that is not quite as cracked up as it sounds; my mind takes a long time to slow down enough to fall asleep - I need to shed the weight of everything that's been running through my head over the day; rid myself, perhaps, of something I've seen or heard of read that makes me uneasy (yes, I get nightmares much too easily - I blame my overactive imagination) - and so to keep my mind from running haywire just as I'm trying to fall asleep, I tell myself stories. (Also, in the shower, because my hair takes a long time to wash :P.) Frequently, these stories are fanfiction, because I don't write it any more and because picking up someone else's characters and universe keeps me from thinking too much about the whole thing. Sometimes, though, I let my own characters out to play - and lately, I've been telling myself a story involving my HoD-verse characters, but that's set in the world of Final Fantasy IX (what can I say? I like steampunk and I know that game like the back of my hand). In it, the main POV holder is my old beloved guinea pig, Shanka, and as I was mentally stepping through a scene with him, I realised that maybe I should write this down - with the school application and Morphic and everything, I've rarely had the time to write prose at all since January. It's a little awkward from lack of practise, and because I spent some time cutting out the FFIX references so that it could stand on its own, it might feel a little stunted. ( Beware! Here there be snippery. ) Current Mood: accomplishedCurrent Music: "Koharubiyori" - Nisizato Makiko |

| 2:06 pm | Oscar night - the morning after report. Man, has it really been nearly a month since I posted here? Sheesh... I suppose I got a little bit too buried in my school application work. But now I'm back! New, improved and better than ever, because my head is still swimming on the Oscar-night high! ( And here are the nominees ) Good show all around, I think, with some expected wins, some dark horses and some outright surprises. Now, my brain is a little mushy, even though I did manage to get in a few hours of sleep between 06.00 and 10.20 this morning, and my fingers are about to fall off from typing this. If anyone cares to know, my report of the Oscars was 3327 words long. Now, I'm going to crawl into my bed, put Final Fantasy II in my Playstation and just play mindlessly for a few hours, because I don't think I'm capable of much more today.
