My Death Note fanfic, A World of Their Own is officially complete. It ended up being 33 chapters and I managed to not change anything at all in the original canon. I'm so damn proud of that.
I can't stand the thought of rewriting something entirely just because you don't like the way it ends or whatnot. I wrote around all of it. It would have been an insult to the author of Death Note to change anything.
Eventhough most fanfic readers won't even give it a chance because it's an OCxCanon story (please don't get me started on that), I have a handful of readers who really enjoyed it and thought it was very well written. And the most important part is... I had a lot of fun writing it, while sharpening my writing skills at the same time. Overall, I'm very happy with how things went! ^_^

I'm a monkey!!!!  A metal monkey! ^_^  My son is a monkey too! He's a wood monkey!

My goodness!  I haven't been on LJ much this month at all!  I've been distracted with Deviant Art and Fanfiction.net, but I promise I'm not going to let my LiveJournal die.

I've spent a lot of time writing my Death Note fanfic as well as commissions for people.  I've also started to learn how to draw.  I'm not very good at it, but I have fun with it.  that's really all that matters.

I've been watching Fruits Basket.  I didn't think I'd like it when I read the synopsis for it, but it's actually pretty cute.  A lot of the things it points out about everyday emotions and how people relate to eachother really intrigue me.  I'm about halfway through the series. 

As far as video games are concerned, I've been playing New Super Mario-Wii.  I love it!  There are so many hidden things to unlock!  I also downloaded a few old school games that I used to play as a kid: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 2, Super Mario 3, Sonic the Hedgehog and Toe Jam & Earl.  All were games on the original NES or Sega Genises.

I've added a chapter or two to my fan fic, but I haven't posted the update here.  Here are the links for that: 22, 23, 24, 25, 26

Also, here is the link for a short Christmas One-shot that I wrote with Raine and L: Snowman's Smile

That's all for now.  I need to start wrapping some presents.  Merry Christmas everyone!  ^_^

OMG!!!!!

Kirsten Dunst is staring in a movie that depicts Haruki Murakami's short story, The Second Bakery Attack!!! 
First the super hot Kenichi Matsuyama does a Haruki Murakami story, and now the even super hotter actress, Kirsten Dunst does one as well!!!!  How awesome can you get?

Instant joy-gasm!!!!!! ^_^

Autumn Nightmare
So much beauty is held within my family's nightmare!
The children pile up my brothers' remains,
Red, yellow, orange and brown.
They dive right into the middle with laughter,
Though they swim in a mountain of corpses
I am but a dead leaf, and never have I felt this beautiful!

To Die in Autumn
His blade slices through my flesh as though it were butter.
My fluids pour out; deepening the red of the autumn leaves.
That man is looking down, showering me with yellow, orange and brown.
The breeze blows through his hair, though I no longer feel it on this cold ground.

Wow!!! Just, wow!!!  It's amazing how much America has changed since then!!!

Hahaha!!!!  Well, daddy said he was going to the store when I was an infant and never came back and mommy decided she was a lesbian and wanted to sleep with as many women as possible.  I had no male rolemodel in my life, but mom was always the "man" of her many relationships, so I grew up confused about gender roles, all of which made it very difficult to interact with males.  I got my ass kicked in grade school for being the dyke's daughter.  Daddy moved on with a new life and family.

Mom was unstable and moved from place to place.  She was overbearing and very self centered.  Dad didn't enter the picture again really until I was 19.  I feel like I've explained all of this on here before...

Well, I'd really like to think that we continue to posses some sort of self awareness after death; but logically it doesn't really seem possible.
We continue to live by returning to the elements and helping sustain life... like fertilizer; but as far as self awareness is concerned, I think it goes away. 
I imagine things will be pretty much be the same way they were before I was born after I die... non-exsistant.  It sort of scares me, but it makes more sense than anything else I've heard.  Nothing is permanent. 
I hope I'm not offending anyone with that opinion.  That's not my intention.

If any of you remember my post about the character I created in high school -Gibby- then you'll know who this is.
since I've been on this big commission kick on Deviant Art for my fanfiction, I thought I'd try and ressurect Gibby. 

I commissioned yassanswumgame from Deviant Art to draw him for me and she did such a good job!  She even nailed his facial features (which means he looks a lot like the guy who originally inspired Gibby)!  It actually brought a tear to my eye because Gibby was such a huge part of my life for so many years!

I hope to ressurect the Gibby panels soon!  I've talked with my youngest brother about a possible writing collaboration since he's a great writer and has always liked my Gibby comics so much.  He can also help me modernize Gibby, because Gibby is a teen of the 90's and the newer generation might not relate to him.

Oh my gosh you guys!  I've had the worse day that I've had in a long time. My 30th birthday is not one I want to remember!  My husband is not talking to me right now and I'm pretty much alone the rest of the evening.  I'm done with birthdays, I think.

On a lighter note.  I did get a commission today of Raine and L that I have fallen totlly in love with.  I haven't been able to stop staring at it today!

This is the last day I'll be in my twenties!  Someone please freeze time for me!  I don't want to grow up!
