Because I was asked...
Mind you Prowl the border collie is a mix (with what Primus only knows) and he is a very....very....very bad representation of his namesake.
Mods if this is wrong, just take it down. Don't want to do anything bad.

So I just put up a hugelong rantramble that directly involves my mother and something she said to me in a place where she’ll see it (I probably won't be cross-posting it, so it's here on Facebook, mostly about asexuality, if you're curious. ...yes, my mother joined FB). Kind of hoping this doesn’t turn into drama! I don't mean for it to, I just don't see the point of hiding it from her. Been in a bit of an inexplicable rage all day, though, so maybe I do mean for it to cause drama? I can't tell. Anyway. Yeah. This was going to be the Dissidia post, by the way, but I got distracted and sidetracked myself halfway through and so I have cut it down to just this, instead. The other stuff's all saved in a word doc, anyway.
Fic. Apparently I'm actually considering plot. Not any more confident about it, but I feel obligated now that other people have prodded me towards the fact checking I needed. (Turns out what I'd thought was right, but I managed to misspell my own name twice today and then lost track of when it was to a point of years, which probably says enough about my mental state and why I really do not trust my brain at all these days.) I have t-- two? Three? Days off after tomorrow, so assuming I don't get called in (and that the oven does not explode - hey, we have a new heat sensor that we attach inside the door and that rests on the door handle, so you drop it on the floor every time you open or close the oven, and the sensor pad on the wire that goes inside the oven is missing, so really it's not effective, either), I should be feeling marginally more functional (coherent is probably too much to hope for) by the weekend.
I am making a poll. It does not, for the curious, have anything to do with the fact-checking I needed to do (those were, you know, facts, and what I'm asking about is more opinion, unless I am forgetting things, which is entirely likely), but I was poking around the fanbase - oh, I'm talking about FFVIII again, here - earlier this afternoon and, you know, stuff, train of thought jumping all over the place, I don't remember where I was looking that this jumped back into my brain, but I'm just wondering what other people think about it! Because I've seen a lot of different thoughts on it (and given it a fair amount of contemplation myself. It's one of the things I always wish they'd addressed more in canon, even though I know there was not really anywhere to work it in), though I think I narrowed it down to the ones I've seen the most? And actually since this will probably end up playing at least some role in the fic I am at least going to attempt to write (no guarantees) (it would be set post-game), if most everyone has different ideas than mine (or if there's stuff in canon), I might work with some of that instead?
( Poll. Contains spoilers for FF8! )
RANDOM COMMENT: it actually makes me really (and irrationally) angry when people say that Final Fantasy XI “doesn’t count” for [insert reasoning here]. Because it’s stupid. Because you have to pay for monthly access. Because it’s online. You’re allowed to not like it! You’re allowed to not want to play it, or to think the MMORPG format isn’t a good one, but it counts. It has a story. It has characters (beyond you and the other players you meet) that you care about. Sure, you’re along for the ride a little more directly than usual, but you’re still not the hero. That role still goes to the NPCs. IT’S CALLED FINAL FANTASY XI. It is a number in the sequence! And I just get kind of upset when people dismiss it (as they often do). Really. You can say “I’ve played all the games in the series except XI” WITHOUT tacking on “because that one doesn’t count” at the end. If it doesn’t count, why do you feel obligated to mention it? No one is judging you. You don’t have to put it down like that. I promise. |

| My wrist hurts again. |
[Nov. 15th, 2009|10:55 pm] |
So, now that we’re halfway through the month of November and I don’t feel like suddenly actually committing to getting 50k words out of myself by the end of the month, I have suddenly come up with exactly what I am going to do for next year. Maybe I can come up with something slightly less hilariously lame. We shall see. I HOPE I DO NOT FORGET BECAUSE it made me giggle at the sheer idiocy of it. I have made a note to myself, but who’s to say if I’ll remember it’s there, or that I won’t lose it somehow, or… whatever.
I was maybe stupid enough to tell my manager I’m totally able to work Thanksgiving. Uuh. Self, what. At least I’ll get out at 3 instead of when it is DARK AND COLD AND DINNER IS OVER. And, according to my brother, who has worked for the same store (well, same chain, different location. Where I used to work), Thanksgiving day itself is actually pretty slow. Probably because everyone’s busy cooking.
In entirely unrelated news, the ending of Final Fantasy X still makes me do that weird thing where your eyes are leaking but you aren’t really crying? Except then the credits start rolling and I don’t have to watch anything anymore and then I kind of do cry a bit. I know I wrote a memo to myself regarding watching things that will make me cry shortly after cleaning my glasses, mostly concluding that I should not do this. I WILL NEVER LEARN.
I was going to beat it last night, but when I went to tell Aniko to STAY OUT OF THE ROOM because, you know, spoilers, it somehow came around to me starting a new file. But no such thing happened tonight and it's kind of like Ecco in that once I get the idea in my head that I need to play it, I can't get it back out until I remember exactly how it hurts me. (This is Dissidia's fault, though. How dare you use the musical cues, game?! Ecco is almost always entirely my own doing.)
Man, also, at work this evening I suddenly had an awesome idea for something to write (not the NaNo thing, that’s actually a day or two old), but by the time I had finished walking home I’d talked myself out of it. I can’t quite bring myself to say it’s a terrible idea, simply because it amuses me, and while I won’t deny at all that my sense of humor is questionable at best, it is hard to dislike something that genuinely entertains you, isn’t it?
Part of the problem might be that it was FFVIII-related, and I am ridiculously intimidated by the idea of even writing, never mind actually posting, anything about it. And I worry a lot about getting everyone wrong, because mostly I either don’t relate to them at all (personality-wise, I mean) and so wonder if I’m really doing them any justice, or because I relate to them entirely too much and then I wonder if I’m projecting. And my brain is really addled from LIFE these days and I can't remember if canon is as ambiguous as I'm coming up with or if anything is actually established. And I can't be bothered to go looking because don't wanna, though it could possibly give me a "BUT IT GOES AGAINST CANON" excuse, because of course AU fic is entirely out of the question. Of course. uurgh. |

| Beta Request |
[Nov. 14th, 2009|05:49 pm] |
Hi I have pretty much finished writing chapter two of Musical Misconceptions and would like to ask if anyone would be interested in Beta reading it for me (Help me check for grammar, spelling and phrasing errors).
I would most appreciate the help.
Also as I have never done this before I am not quite sure how this works (Is it just bouncing the story back and forth making changes?)
Thank you

| Hey, a day off! I have time to think! |
[Nov. 13th, 2009|04:59 pm] |
So, speaking of Thanksgiving, as I was yesterday, it's approaching that time of year again. I am working on a... well. Okay, pretty much, unless I have contacted you separately about something (and I probably haven't, because I've probably only asked if I have an actual idea, and mostly I don't, because this month has effectively murdered all thought power), if you would like a holiday gift from me, it needs to be something I can make. Like I think someone asked for cookies last year? Or I can sew something, or attempt to write you something (but you have to provide a prompt for that as I'm incapable of coming up with plots right now, partly because of NaNoWriMo and partly because OH GOD MY WORK IS POSSIBLY LITERALLY EXPLODING, and also it may take ages for me to get to, but if I say I will do it, I will), or... whatever. Draw something. Write something in calligraphy. OR, if there is something you really want that I can probably find for under 10, 15 dollars (this actually goes especially so for video games, since I get lovely coupons and an automatic discount on used games). Or maybe you want a book and I have a copy I don't want, or multiple copies or something. Actually, most books fit the price range and, again, coupons. I can do any of those things. And the post office isn't at war with me anymore (I think that was more the work of the local post office being hopelessly useless than it was anything actually hostile), so hopefully if anyone wants a card, they will actually receive it this year.
And, obviously, I'd prefer to know what you'd like sooner rather than later, since I'm apparently going to need all the time I can get, life as it is these days.
Oh, also. Addresses. If you want something I'll have to send you, I probably need your address (or, if you have multiple addresses, which one would be better to use), unless you know I have your current one. Comments screened, or hit me over IM or via email or call me or ... something. Whatever's easiest.

I'm just playing around with the movieverse style so to speak. nothing that omg new and different, just messing around a little with my design of Prowl for movieverse. And no, I'm not changing my design, this was just more playing around than anything.
I'll bother coloring one of these days XP

So, I've finally gotten around to posting something here! Amazing. Hopefully this will not be the last time--I have many other things in the works that I want to put up. If only I could get around to finishing them...Anyways...
Title: Lest We Forget
Author: Kelsoi (that’s Kel-swah; I don’t want to imagine any-y’all saying Kel-soy ‘cause, c’mon guys, that’s just weird ;P )
Characters/Pairings: Prowl/Jazz (though I don’t mention names)
Rating: I think it’s G, but if it needs to be changed let me know.
Warnings: Um...I sort of nearly cried when I wrote it?
Summary: On the eleventh day of the eleventh month, one mech takes a moment to honour the memory of his lover.
Notes: I originally was doing artwork for this piece, but that was an epic fail. So, since I couldn’t sleep tonight (just saw “Paranormal Activity,” yo, and those last few minutes are gonna keep me up for a while O.O), I decided to write this little thing for Remembrance Day. I tried to write it so it could be in either a G1 or an ’07!Movie-verse perspective, which was hard and I’m not going to try that again however well that turned out. I originally wanted it in G1, but as I read over, I’m leaning more towards the Movie, so whatevs.
This is also un-beta-ed. If I’m completely honest, I did not edit this as much as I could.

| lurker looking for a fic |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|06:31 pm] |
jello
a very long time-lurker here \o/ (maybe I should start to be more active)...
So, I'm looking for a fic, that was published in summer. It was about Jazz dancing Shakira's "My hips don't lie" at the beach and Prowl was formely Barricade and thinks he's too filthy (or something like that) to touch Jazz. So Jazz decides to seduce him, which causes some yummy scenes :3
I really don't remember more about this fic right now... Too tired :D Been at work whole morning dealing with angry and confused people, 'cause water flooded yesterday to one of our underground-stations (elevators crashed down, transducers fried and one of the floors may collapse...) so the traffic is limited. It's good to be a security guard in there :D |

Title: 'Trial Date' & 'Sweet Dreams'
Rating: G/K
series/'verse: Pre-G1/WarWithin & movie-`verse(ish)
Warning: n/a
Note: hint of fluff at the end. . .maybe
'Trial Date' is based off a story-plot that I'd like to write but just never will. So here's a random 'cap from it. 'Sweet Dreams' is from a random dabble Idea I never wrote and later forgot.

NaNo? What NaNo? (LIE. I’ve been working on it. I just also have been raging over Maine pulling a California – WTF, MAINE – and powering my way through ReBoot.) WHILE WE’RE ON THE SUBJECT of my watching ReBoot, I am going to talk about it now.
This post is kind of long, by the way. Man, someday I am going to start making a bunch of reasonable length posts about things, instead of waiting until it’s all over and then BRAIN DUMPING all over the place. It would be more coherent, more readable, and probably less likely to scare people off.
Small disclaimed added to beginning to post after rereading post prior to actually posting said post (instead of making it a post-post post I'LL STOP NOW): I use the word “annoy” several times here, and all of it refers to aspects of the show in question. Maybe this makes it seem like I am complaining a lot or do not actually like it. Do not be fooled. I am far more likely to find things that annoy me (and attempt to figure out why they do) for things I like! (If I do not like something, I may rant and be angry about it, but that is different.) Eventually I get over these most of these things, but it is a very long, slow process. Do not mistake all of my griping here for anything other than a strange expression of glee and adoration.
( In which I talk a lot about ReBoot. Spoilers! )
In conclusion, my department at work appears to be attempting self-destruct this week, but at least it means I get more hours.
…Aaand I just saw the date on the entry and it occurs to me that oh my god you guys I have been playing FFXI for SIX YEARS. What have I been doing with my life. I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN THIS MADNESS STARTED. (For the purpose of this exclamation, please ignore that I’ve graduated, uh, three times since then, held jobs, and am still employed and living away from my parents now.) |

Have been replaying COD: Modern Warfare to get all the hidden achievements and stumbled across a quote in a walkthrough that just made me giggle. Drabbled it out. It was a random quote among many so to whoever was the original who stated it, I tip my hat to you.
