In need of help from my flist again since my imagination is out of minutes:

What are two things that would look erm...interesting together when combined? For (a lame) example, a cat and a tomato = cato.

*stabs chemistry*

Another poem. Kill it.

EDIT: OHMYGOD, this is the best day this year! NO SCHOOL (for the first time in a century - read: 3 years)! WOOT! *bounces*

*changes mood* ;)

Topic for pet peeve speech?

What movie should I go see this weekend?

I am turning senile like my FST teacher. Joy. *stabs exam prep*

*facepalm* I must stop the insomnia.

So, as you may or may not have noticed, I'm in need of a beta.  This is a Remus fic, a little under 1000 words, in which Remus is very melodramatic and teetering into the kingdom of OOCness, and that frightens me a bit.  General, a kind of light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel fic as is typical for me. 

And keep away, avendya, since this is for you ;) (And it may take a few eons for you to read it, as I will probably go insane with self-depreciation and treading above par).

If you'd like to help a procrastinating teenager who wrote this somewhere between the hours of 12:30 and 2:30 last night and has a severe comma disorder, please direct a message to my PM or e-mail.  Or you could comment here, which would be plus simple, but of course I didn't think of it the first tme around.

Danke =)

Stop laughing if you've seen my failed attempts to pin up a Christmas stocking. Laughter hurts. Especially when I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong!! All you have to do is bloody copy-and-paste, right? Well, my LJ doesn't seem to agree...

*mutters*

(Er, this is a desperate plea for help in case you think I am simply ranting).

( My Xmas stocking )

There. I'm a complete technologically inept idiot, I'll admit it. Now please, will someone fix it?

Total number of fandoms I like:
Depends on how you define fandom.  Like Leanne, I only am into HP fanfic and fanstuff.  But I still fangirl other things.  So...HP, LotR, PotC, Star Wars, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, ASOUE, Heroes.

My first fandom ever:
Probably Harry Potter.  But if you want to get really technical, definitely We Sing (yeah Mar!) and Barney. 

My most recent fandom:
Er...Heroes.  Tres interessant, it is.

Five fandoms that currently mean a lot to me: (Ha, I don't think I can make this).
1. Harry Potter -  Pretty self-explanatory, no?

2. LOST - OMG I was ticked when I found out that they aren't playing anything til Feb.  But I watched and theorized religiously.

3. Heroes - It's a good show, and I like it, and it's got suspense, which is enough for me to download it every week :).

4. LoTR - Ok, so it's not currently important to me, but I fangirl the movies like chocolate and yeah.  I was obsessed for a good bit of time.  And I got through the books pretty fast.  So yeah.

5. PoTC - This still means a lot to me.   Brings back good times with my best friend who moved to South Carolina and who I haven't really spoken to for a while.  We watched CoBP at my house the first time she slept over and we ate pasta and cold apple pie and rummaged around for coconuts.  And we shamelessly adored Johnny and Orlando.

And I went to see DMC with my friends at my summer camp thing - and before we went, my friend D. , he was like, who wants to see PotC, it's so stupid.  And I got him in there and got him out and I had converted him.  Powerful feeling, it was.

Right, I tag:

*yodles to f-list*

I HAVE PIE!! COME AND GET IT!!

Um, anyway, I'm quite hyper.  I'm also writing a lovely angst fic and wondering how on earth it's going to turn out.  (I'm ready to throw up all over the blatant and verbose descriptions I have, except that I prefer to keep my apple pie in my stomach, thank you very much).  

Yes, sorry, TMI.

This is the first time I'm writing a fic without weeks of planning.  It's really quite freeing.  I'm just writing. Out it goes.  All out.

It's also helping me answer my history questions.  Note to self: Write HP-fic before answering homework.  Works for me.

Oh, yes, about that, I need some advice.  I spent about 6 hours (yes, exaggeration, but not by many minutes)  watching Fanaa over the weekend, so now I am naturally battling the very strong impulse to write a story about a pairing in which the girl becomes temporarily blind (and no,  the male will not be a terrorist).

I just need a pairing.  

I was thinking Ron/Luna, Ron/Hermione, or Ted/Andromeda, and T/A has been forming a wee bit in my mind.  So if you have an opinion, any at all (especially if it is strong advice against writing the fic), please comment comment comment.

EDIT: Look at that penguin go!

Our history teacher shared these with us today.  Warning for hilarious stupidity.  


These aren't exact, just what I remembered plus my few notes on them.  According to her, these are real essays of real college students who weren't trying to be pitiful. 

I have a question.

Which is better...going to a public school or a private one?

Are private ones worth the cost? (i.e. $22,000/yr)  Would it be worth it if I got financial aid for the next two years? (i.e. $13,000).

This dilemma happens every year and I'm getting rather sick of it.  So insight outside of parental units and admissions committe would be quite lovely.

Someone save me from All Quiet on the Western Front please. Good themes, yes.  Longest 200-some pages of my life, yes.  Best way to spend the last few days of summer, hardly.

Why am I a procrastinator?

 

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

****FREAKING OUT***

I still have the effing cold war to study, and then I have to actually review, and then I need to relearn chemiosomosis and Krebs Cycle all over again and OMG DEATH.

(unnamed alter-ego: She uses paranoid as an adjective for a reason.)

Like two minutes ago I was just flipping out because I couldn't find my pencil. Like REALLY flipping out. I get scared if I can't find a paper after 2 seconds of searching. Imagine me under stress.

Scratch that. There's no need to imagine.

Anway, please vote on one image or the other so I can hopefully narrowly avoid the pitchforks of certain people. *looks around nervously for Hal and Ana*

Premier banner:

Deuxieme banner:

Just comment with 1 or 2 if you have a preference.

(The pencil was under my laptop, btw. *facepalm*)

You Should Be A Poet

You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways. And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery... Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever. You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem.

Well. That's fitting. Here they are, for those folks who are interested.

( Poetry )

Title: Firecracker
Author: KalHoNaaHo
Rating: G
Summary: Amazing how something born from insignificance and a dire need to measure up is the one thing that brings Ginny Weasley back. One-shot.

Excerpt: A hard kick against the ground, and she was gone – up, up until the leaves tickled her exposed arms. Her robes swirled behind her, flaming red hair whipped against her cheek, and the wind was raising her higher and higher. She was a kite, buoying along in the breeze – then a bird, gliding, swerving, diving, only to shoot back up, no longer craving the solidity of earth beneath her feet.

Sentinelle - I love you for the banner!!!!!

( Swept into the sky )

An absolutely splendid weekend in the fic world, at least.

First, I was promoted to Gamma designer! Wheeeee! I had the time of my life staying up til 1:18 to see them with Ana, Katie, Risa, Moogle, and Hal! *Is officially a Haley fangurl*







Ana is teh amazing :D

Second, my fic got accepted! I'll post it later because I'm lazy.

And third, I won the Year 7 BA Challenge! *squeeees* *is even more of a Haley fangurl than before*







Lastly, Lex loved my review! Once upon a time, I used to think she was the most intimidating person on earth.

Now I just heart her =) HBP is fanficcy to the max. ;)

Amidst the piles of crap, randomness, and rants that are in the making, you may be lucky enough to actually find a halfway decent fic - most likely a one-shot - in here. This is your first dose.

Kind of. It's just a teaser, really. Comment and let me know if you'd like to see more. If it sucks and you hate it, comment anyways and tell me so.

I'm just too lazy to submit to MNFF. I'm also too scared to submit anything there. ???

I don't understand myself.

Anyways -

Title: Happy Window
Rating: Eh...PG-13?
Warnings: Nothing in this little excerpt, but with what I have written so far some graphicness, violence, spousal abuse, and suffocation attempts. It's angsty, people.
Summary: Evil can contort itself into many forms. Even after the Dark Lord is vanquished, it lingers in this household, tearing apart a family through its very foundation. Its presence destroys everything, including any hope of fighting it, and brings pain intense enough to blot out all happy memories.

And she stares, wanting to be away, wanting, most of all, to be the girl in the house across the lawn. The house in which evil does not exist.

( Beware )

Yeah, so I'm actually posting something, because I have people on my flist who might just read this.

And I don't care if this is supposed to be in the About the User section or whatever, it's going here.

I am Kal. You might know my real name, but I've gotten rather fond of Kal, so you can just stick with that. Or you can call me whatever you want really, as long as it's nothing derogatory. Only certain people are allowed that privilege.

You can throw dung at me too, but it doesn't mean I'm going to tolerate it.

I'm random, shy, hyper, consciensious, and generally not mean. Terse, but not mean.

And I write. But that's nothing special. And I make banners too, if asked nicely.

Other than that, ask, and I shall tell no lies...

You can't hold me to that.

;)
