another weekend, come and gone
It's so hard for me to consider Sunday an actual weekend day. Maybe it's because I spend the day worrying about what I'm going to cover on Monday -- or just the whole "hauling my ass out of bed at an ungodly hour" part of the week. Bleh.
I managed to get chapter 40 of OGAM out this week, which was nice. Actually, I was only able to do that because the chapter wanted to be shorter than most. I'd actually like to get this bad-boy finished before I have to start making plans to either go off to school (again) or... huh. You know, I have no idea what I'm going to do if I don't get into any of those PhD programs. Well. Aside from consuming copious amounts of alcohol. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to send out another slew of resumes to high-end, private prep schools. I actually got offered a job at my old high-school last year. Pfft. Right. That'll happen. Teaching 8 classes with about 30 kids per class? No freakin' way. I have a hard enough time getting papers graded and handed back as it IS, and I only have four classes, with about 22 students each (except for the Brit Lit class, which is about 14 kids).
But, anyway.
After months of yearning (...okay, procrastination -- and a little searching) I finally found a store that had the first Fruits Basket DVD. Yeah, I know, I could've easily found the fansubs online, but you see, I'm not patient enough to download something for that long. Even with a cable modem.
I am, of course, in love. And annoyed as hell that now I'm going to have to wait until I get paid before going out and trying to find a store that sells the SECOND dvd.
In the meantime, I've started perusing the net for FB fanfic. The results have been less than promising. So far I've found a slew of sites that have Tohru paired up with ... well, everyone. And I mean everyone. Shigre, Momiji, Ayame, Kagura... everyone. There's GOT to be FB fanfic out there that doesn't suck. It's got to exist -- I just haven't found it yet. I shudder to think about sifting through the crap on FFN.
In spite of this, I have a definite feeling that FB is going to become my new pet obsession. ;)
Oh jeez. Pun completely not intended.
Anyway, time to experiment with LJ cutting. Hrm.
Y'know, I'd better never put all of my personality quiz results together and try to make any sense of them.
Well, that would probably be pointless anyway, since most of them are rigged. *grin*
Or maybe my personality is just infinitely complex.
*snicker*
The faerie of water. You have a laid back attitude,
and take life as it comes. People come to you
when they want to hear the truth, even if it
hurts. You will always be there when someone
needs you. People sometimes think you have a
cold heart, that's why sometimes you can also
be known as the Ice Faerie.
What's your inner Faerie?

Re:
And THEN I saw Shigure and Hatori, and decided that I HAD to find out more about FB. ;) No anime with that high of a bish-factor could possibly be BAD, right? *evilgrin*
Re the lack of good FB fics: Kitty just needs to write one! :D
(I don't dare try my hand at FB just yet. Besides, I don't do well trying to write in more than one fandom at once, so I don't dare try and START writing FB. Although, it's becoming very, very tempting...)
