Weirdness, the lj client I downloaded for the home computer doesn't have a space for a topic line. I geuss that was the one error during installation...oh well, I'll fix it later.
Well, I'm back. I've been reeeeaally lazy about posting this week, but it's summertime and I'm allowed to be lazy, dammit. Especially when I'm working mucho hours at Dairy Queen. Ugh, tomorrow is going to suck SO much. I work 3-close tomorrow, but on Saturdays we close at ten and then have to clean up, so it's going to be 8 or 9 hours. This isn't unthinkable length and I've done it before, but still...I like shorter, more spaced out shifts. But I need to make money, so will zip the lip in public and take what I can get.
On Monday, I was working the drive-through when some guy on a bike cake zipping through and headed right into traffic. Apparently he darted out between two cars and then he got hit by a van for his trouble. Ouch. I was counting out change and facing the opposite direction when it happened, and I thought the screech from one of the current customer's kids. Luckily, he wasn't badly injured as far as we could tell--he was limping around, not sprawled dead on the pavement, and the police came but they sent the ambulance away. I'm not sure what happened to him after that. Getting hit by a van sucks no matter how it happens, but jeez, moron, don't zip out into traffic like that!
Ficwise, I'm getting some very odd vibes. I'm not sure if it's going to be for Moon In Retrograde or something else, but I'm just getting a strange buzz from some of the characters. I feel as if some new perspective is just around the corner, waiting for me to come and bump into it and write something new and special. Can any of you writers relate? I can't explain, it's just...something's out there waiting for me.
Speaking of SMish thing, Char sent me a video (to the tune of "Can't Stop the Moonlight" which my dormmates played ALL the time last semester, so I want to hate it) which I find myself playing constantly. It's very well done, and it makes me want to re-watch the S episodes because I know I missed some--there's this scene where Neptune just staggers up to Kaolinite and gets her heart crystal shot out at point-blank range for her efforts. I keep playing it over and over, which is probably kind of twisted, but damn, girl's tough! Gaveme a new respect for Neptune. This, combined with the kinder Pluto, screwed-up Hotaru, and especially the ProtectiveTowardsUsagi!Uranus that I saw in the manga I bought yesterday has given me a new interest in the outers, especially in Haruka and Michiru. Not necessarily in the romantic way, god knows there's enough Usa/Mamo fic to satisfy my inner schmooper, but I'm getting really interested in their characters as a whole. On a completely different note, the first pocket mixx of Stars goes really fast compared to the other seasons. I don't see a lot of basis for a real Usagi/Seiya pairing like I do in the anime. I still like my sweetie Seiya-chan, though.
Yes, I realize these are fictional characters.
Okay, off to sleep or hunt chocobos for a while, haven't decided...
