So I have these two plants.  An African violet that I bought from Lowe's in maybe February, and a hydrangea shoot(I think?  What do you call a hydrangea that isn't yet a giant bush yet?) I got for free a couple weeks ago.  With both plants, I was assured they would be very easy to care for- the African violet doesn't need much water and all I have to do with the hydrangea is keep it alive until spring when I can put it in the ground and let it do its thing.  Not too hard, right?

Shyeah right.

( The trouble with hydrangeas... )

So yeah.  I have the most contrary plants in the world.

Also, Boondock Saints is one of the better movies in the history of ever and I kind of want to write for it.  Just a little.

It's been a long time since I posted anything, and I really really wanted to post some of my more recent stuff, so here. Some of my cast in a 'verse with metas/mutants/supers/whatever the term is now. Not the first timeline-wise, but starting like this makes more sense.  The old backstory I have for my canon cast is being reworked, but this has little to do with that anyway, so.  On with the show

~*~*~

( Meet the gang and assorted others... )

 

I started reading the fics long before I ever saw the show.  And I'm up to episode eight of season one.  So yeah, OOC here and there and possibly screwing around with ghost canon.

It's one of many that I've sent raven_scarlett .  Probably not the last, though.  I've got a Merc 'Verse too.  I should maybe post Canon here.  Eventually.  For now, meet MiaS 'Verse:
( A homage to any show or so where a crew member is one with the ship. )

Starting anywhere not the beginning was always my favorite way to go.

So I wish I actually liked any of my classmates, because then I could ask them what I'm doing wrong with my project due in three hours and forty-ish minutes.  They're not bad people, just better than me at all this programming business and a combination of hyper-competitiveness and pride won't let me ask them questions.  I just really don't like having to deal with the attitude of "how can you be having problems with this?" when I ask questions.  It's probably all in my head.

Trying to figure out what to give up for Lent.  Also, will start posting my revamped Canon here after midterms are over. And maybe the thousand AUs my Canon has come up with.

EDIT: I'm amazing and found what I was doing wrong.  Now to finish the assignment....

You're supposed to park fifteen feet from fire hydrants to keep stuff like this from happening.

This time it's Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and Witch Hunter Robin- Something Like Lucky

My sandbox and school keeps me busy.

Is it 'gennin' or 'genin'?  I prefer the first one, but a review at the pit called me out on it and says it's the second one.  Wikipedia doesn't have an answer, so I figured I would ask over here.  Thanks!


EDIT: Okay, they're right.  *pouts*

This time, Top Gun and X:Men.  I have another Top Gun and FF8 in storage, might put it out soon.  I'm on a bit of a Top Gun spree.

The fic

Also, for Top Gun slashers... a video

From hell, because I wrote it.  And because it crosses over Final Fantasy VIII and Top Gun

New SeeD Cadets

A possible ending for the boys.  Mina and John were introduced in Meetings.

Based on a true story

I just realized I've been remiss and haven't posted so much of any of my sandbox as of late.  So here's a sequel to Other Meetings:

And something for Mal and company:


I'll have more for them all over the next few...whiles.

The rules:
1. post these rules
2. each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.
3. tags should write a journal entry of these facts
4. at the end post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

I tag anyone who reads this! <3 Do tell if you're taking this up, I'd like to read them.

Simply because this sandbox is a bit larger than usual.  These characters connect with the others-the triplets, their parents, all of them- but later on.

Just a small piece featuring Celian and Kage again, but focusing on Ethuil mostly.

I'm taking a summer class so I can graduate from the university this coming spring (Guess where my tax return's going?).  It's Database Systems, and an online class.  Never had an online class before, so this ought to be an interesting experience.  Still trying to catch up with, well, everything, and it's terrible that when I need to be working the most is when I get the most urge to write.  I've been dabbling in an alternate line for my sandbox instead of school work, so hurray for sheer and utter laziness combined with a fight/flight twist.  My major's maybe the scariest thing in the world right now, but I suppose it'll all turn out.  Changing it won't make it better, since yeah.  Too used to living on the internet.

Maybe will update my sandbox over here when I finish this C++ program I should've started last week.

EDIT: Oh, and to make matters worse, I'm considering trying to go back to Honors.  It's a ridiculous idea, and I'm not sure I even want to, but I'm just curious.

A look into the oldest triplet, Mal.  Originally two pieces, but works just fine as one.
