Fanfic is at [info]brokentime.
Master list is here.

If you want fanfiction, then I suggest friending [info]brokentime. I post all of my stuff there, now. :D

If you want me, then comment here. Just a quick "hello" will do.

What the bloody hell am I doing?

So.

Got the crazy idea to make something in a desperate, full-forced attempt to break the writer's block (and "doing anything creative" block), that I've had for the past year.

So, here it is.

Operation: Create

This is a work in progress, and obviously I have no idea what the hell I am doing. I don't know, though. Being lost and confused is kind of fun.

Insomnia sometimes makes me do things I wouldn't normally do. In this case I approve.

OH HAI LJ, I KIND OF FORGOT ABOUT YOU.

So. Yeah. Online journal. I have one.

Um, hi?

Things are okay, as they usually are. Not horrible, not fantastic, and certainly not superfuckingawesome like I'd prefer them to be. But whateves.

Been sick. A lot. I'm at the point where eating anything, smoking, drinking coffee, or making sudden movements leads to debilitating nausea. Not sure what's up with that, but I'm still alive, so I can't really complain, amirite?

Also, why you should never ever smoke. Like, ever. I'm serious. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, YOU. )

Sorry to come back after like, two months and be all, LOLGONNALECTUREYOU. I just...yeah. I care, believe it or not.

So, how you doin'?

Addendum: I ALSO GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE YESTERDAY. :D :D :D

Jim and Pam from The Office. <3

Also, sorry I've been so absent, guys. Work has been insane. Hopefully next week things will slow down and I'll be able to have some time to myself.

What was your first word?

Mine was "see". I'd point at everything and say, "See? See? See?"

Apparently I wanted to make sure that nobody missed a thing.

3,640 is my new favorite number.

I PASSED THE GED! YAY YAY YAY!

Scored as follows:
LA, Reading - 790/800 99th Percentile
LA, Writing - 720/800 99th Percentile
Mathematics - 530/800 62nd Percentile
Science - 800/800 99th Percentile
Social Studies - 800/800 99th Percentile
Total - 3,640/4,000

Not too shabby for not studying at all, aye? ;3

I almost bombed out in Math, but managed to sneak by with a passing score (410 is the lowest you can get and still pass).

In a few more weeks I'll get my actual certificate in the mail, which won't be as impressive as a High School diploma, but whatever.

:D

So excited for my day off tomorrow. I don't even know what to do with myself.

Coffee? Really? No, I had no idea that you could brew it and make a delicious beverage.

WHO ROCKED TODAY?

I ROCKED TODAY.

FUCK YEAH. I WORKED THOSE TWELVE HOURS TILL THEY BEGGED FOR MERCY.



And I'll do it all again tomorrow, and the next day...and the next....

Also, 144 names to learn. D: Thank god for nametags.

DOOOOOOOOOOOONE.

FUCKING DONE WITH THE GED, OMG I'M SO HAPPY I COULD CRY.

Now I just wait three to four weeks for the results and I'll finally have all this behind me.

My LOLWTFBBQ moment of the day was getting hit on by three different guys in the span of an hour. They were all very persistent, and wouldn't take, "Sorry, not on the market, don't want a boyfriend" for an answer. When they asked for my number I wrote down something random and sent them happily on their way. Greatest thing ever? When I said I wasn't looking for a boyfriend one of them replied, "Well, I don't have to be your boyfriend. I could be something...else."

Oh LOL, man. LOL. You've got balls, at least.

Day two: done.

Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Got done a hour and a half early and boogied out of there. Math was mostly adding, subtracting and multiplying. Simple stuff, even for me. Language Arts was fun, since I love that sort of stuff. Not sure how I did on the essay, though. I haven't written one in over two years. D:

Pretty much an uneventful day, besides the part where I ate my body weight in Chinese food. So goooooood.

Oh! And I got a call from Whole Foods (finally). My first day will be this Friday. 9a-5:30p I'll be sitting, learning stuff about the company and whatnot. 5:30p-8:30p will be coffee training, which should be a breeze since I've worked for one coffee company or another for about three years now. I'm so excited that I'm actually going to have money again!

"You must arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the test."
(awesome) I'm the shit

Day one is of GED is done. It was embarrassingly simple. Just a little survey, orientation, and the constitution test that had an allotted time of 45 minutes; got it done in 15.

Tomorrow won't be as simple, though. Ninety minute Math test (ohgodno), and then a 120 minute Language Arts test. I like me some LA, so that won't be so bad, but Math and I...we don't get along very well.

The worst part is that the test supervisor has a really, really heavy accent, so he had to keep repeating himself and repeating himself and ugh. Desk, meet face. Face, meet desk.

This is the part where my mother refuses to let me move out so she can use my discount.
(fantastic!) Life is flipping fantastic

GOT THE JOB AT WHOLE FOODS. You know, the one I first interviewed for a month ago, where they never called back? Yeah, well, yesterday I got a call asking if I was still interested. Ran in there, talked to a few people, and boom! Job is mine.

Wow.

$10 an hour, too. That's the most I've made ever ever ever. The only downside is that it's part-time, and I was really looking for a full-time position. But! It's considered part-time 20, which means I'll always have over twenty hours a week there, which also means that I'm eligible for medical.

YESSSSS.

Independence, I'm coming, baby.

The 20% discount on groceries that I'll get just about made my mom die of happiness.

Got a Twitter account.

I know! Shut up!

Why do I keep dooooooing this to myself? D:

In other news, haven't heard anything back from Whole Foods on the part-time position. *shrugs* Doesn't bother me that much, I suppose. Wasn't super excited about it. Applied to two other full-time jobs at the Whole Foods in Evanston yesterday. Woop woop?

Naruto Fanfiction for Bakkhos :: Saké Cup :: Itachi + Akatsuki. Poor Kisame.
(love) Akatsuki is love [ItachixKisame]
[info]riza
Right. Since [info]bakkhos said that she would love her some drunk Itachi fic this Christmas, I wrote her some. And it's CRACK. So here you go [info]bakkhos. I hope you can enjoy. Forgive any mistakes, I didn't have a lot of time to proof-read it before I had to leave.

Title: Saké Cup
Word count: 2,408
Characters/Pairing: Itachi, and the rest of Akatsuki. But no Orochimaru. I dun like him today.
Rating: Teen, for quite a bit of swearing.
Summary: When Itachi first joins Akatsuki, there's an "initiation ceremony" of sorts. One that involves alcohol. Lots, and lots, of alcohol. Strange things are said when one is drunk. Pity Kisame. Yeah. DRUNK!Itachi crack.

A/N: Okay. I don't know who all was in Akatsuki when Itachi joined. And I'm not even sure how old Itachi was when he joined. This is crack. Crack doesn't have to make sense.

“He’s your partner,” Deidara said with a shrug of his shoulders. “You take care of the problem, un.”

I wrote out a few drabbles in attempt to break the yucky stagnation in my writing. Don't think it worked though. They're short. None over two hundred words, I don't think.

Enjoy.

Companion to "After Effect", which circles mainly around Sasuke. Brilliance, though, is an Itachi-centered fic.
