Good feedback on Whispers...
I'm THRILLED!
So far my fic is doing okay for its first run. FFnet was being very finicky with the file that it showed oodles of errors when posted originally. ARGH
! I had to repost the file two times before I finally was happy with it! Man, I'm sure the first few readers thought it bad...I should shoot the website for making me look bad! Oh well 
Anyway, I'm glad that through LJ it's being accepted, too! Here's the LJ webpage I posted to as well: http://community.livejournal.com/hitsu_fans/
Thanks to all! Now I've got to get back to SOS!!! Research is such a thrill... -

First Bleach fanfic out the door!
Yes! I'm thrilled!!!!
And slightly confused... 
I'm thrilled my first fanfiction outside of Fruits Basket is finally released. It's not going to be an intricate plotline like my Furuba fics, but mainly it's more like a snapshot of events that have happened to Hitsugaya Toushiro in the past. It kind of evolved to be a bit more so that it has some sense of plot, but not too much. It'll be good though, promise!
I'm also confused...why did FFnet set up my story to be so shoddy? How embarrassing!
I didn't mean for the typos to show up like they did, so I apologize to any who see them...I'm usually so good at catching that stuff. Unless FFnet is being a complete pain in my rear for posting it all wrong. Anyway, the main mistakes are fixed...hopefully it'll be better on the eyes!
I'm also stunned at the immediate response to my fic. One reviewer was slightly confused on a small part of it, but I'm sure her/his answer will be showing up in future chapters. The mystery is there so really it's a matter of the reader to discern what's going on.
Another reviewer though caught me way off guard...I almost laughed at its absurdity. I have no idea what he/she/it meant by any of it (it was Luscius something or other Malfoy under the anonymous brand--typical pathetic flamer) since it was written with nonesense, but I reported it to FFnet for removal. If it's still up there, take a look and let me know what you guys think of the useless comment! http://www.fanfiction.net/r/3789076/0/1/
Besides all this, I'm happy and good to go with researching a few things for my Furuba fanfic. It was a struggle at first, but now my muse is happy! Yeah!

Bleach Fandom
Damn this blogger!!!! I just wrote a good one and it dumped it!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!
Before I place a hex on this website, how is everyone? Good I hope...oh, a shout out to whom have viewed and commented on my pics. They're awesome, right?!
Okay, let's talk BLEACH. Yep, I've fallen for another fandom. Although the fandom for Fruits Basket is waning somewhat, I am still writing up my fic for it...SOS will be finished, so no worries peeps! I just need to expand my creative juices to other levels--it's my way of venting stress related to my heavy-handed fanfic for Fruits Basket.
Back to Bleach...yeah, the character I'll be focusing my next fic is Hitsugaya Toushiro. Why? Oh come on, just look at the character and the answer is obvious! Adorable yet lethal...gorgeous! And of course his personality appeals to the penwriter in me.
So in the next few days (please return to me my beloved Internet at home--doing it here at work is just not worthwhile!), I'll be posting the fic for the Bleach fandom at my FFnet account and at some LiveJournal comms when I'm allowed. We'll see how well it's accepted!
Here's holding my breath...I'm going in a different direction for the first time since I started fanfic writing in 2004. This is scary! -
I'm drowning in STRESS!
No kidding...I'm being slammed with work. Don't you just hate it when the problems your faced with have nothing to do with you? Yet, here you are, working miracles to problems that have no real solution. Talk about learning the art of 'spinning'. I've spun a lot over the past few weeks. Today is no better...
But at least I'm making slow progress with my fanfic works! I'm not necessarily updating SOS but I'm working on a sidefic that really explains it all for this main fic of mine. It's good...real good...hopefully.
Anyway, how's the world on your end? Good, so and so... ...yeah, I know it.
Eat bananas people! -
Have you had your coffee?
I've not had any...and it's late in the day. Let me tell ya, work has been one constant SNORE. There's plenty going on but it's the same old stuff...it get's boring fast.
Customer calls all sound the same...all problems I can't fix are even the same. Why do I bother? Food...money...I like both and it's kind of necessary.
Other than reality sucking a little, my fanfiction is at a standstill. I need motivation somehow...I need to find it. It's hard to trudge along when you're like this. I need a break...
On a happy note, I think I'll be eating Panda Express...orange chicken...yum! -
The world turns...
Heh, that much is true, right?
How's the world turning for you out there? I'm rather in a funk of sorts...blasse, you know? But I've been writing up a storm for my fanfic works!
Check it: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/555310/HelloKat
Aside from writing, I've been working...yep, work is just...work. How it's despised...
I've been on a Bleach craze lately! Furuba is in the bygone era (except for my fanfics!), so I had to get aboard another ship! My favorite character...Hitsugaya Toushiro! So ADORABLE!!! I'm thinking of writing some fanfic work for it...we'll see!
Anyway, I just wanted to blurb for the sake of blurbing. Next time I'll talk about music...BTW, Luciano Pavarotti died today of pancreatic cancer...such a shame. He'll be missed and loved.
To the tenor world, my condolences... -
I used to be so consistent...
It's been this kind of week or two since I last ranted. SO BUSY AT WORK! No fun...
Anyway, for those of my dear readers awaiting on my next SOS chapter release, I'm SO SORRY!!!!
I really meant to release this before my vacation, but work and energy were against me. It's coming along fine with no real problems putting it together...heck the main outline was put together back in 2004/2005!
Nah, it's just time I've been short on and now with vacation, it'll be a while more. I'm SO SORRY!!!
But fret not, you'll be very pleased at the content and length of the chapter! It'll be worth the wait!

Changes across the board!
Wow, now I'm on NETLOG...okay. I liked the other name better though...it was unique! NETLOG sounds...plain. Agree or disagree?
Anyway, I did post before but apparently the switchover was going through and my pointless thoughts were lost in the transition. No biggie.
I'm happy that I finished my one-shot "Starlit Dreams" based on the usual Akito/Yuki 'sibling' pairing when they were little-bitty. I'm not as thrilled with it as the others, but it sufficed I suppose. I think my next one-shot though will be a little more angsty, and will encompass the rest of the Jyuunishi during these earlier times...hence the angst. We'll see.
First, I'm getting into my next chapter of SOS. This is long overdue and I'm pretty psyched! Thanks to my dear reviewers EmeraldKikyou and takayakittykat and infinityguy3000 and to my regular reviewers who know they are always treasured. I'm so happy that even though I'm passing the 50 chapter mark and almost 3 years later, I still have this support group! Trust me, I really need this or else my desire to push on would just crumble like dry cake. So thank you!
Well, that's enough blurbs for now. I will continue to work hard and will make you proud, hopefully. TTFN!

Horrid Monday...
Yep, I'm steamed but more than anything just plain tired! My weekend of fun turned out to be a nightmare!
First, I had a tire problem (i.e. the car was sitting on its rim) because of your standard road debris (I REALLY hate construction now...this is the 4th time!--only had car 1 1/2 yrs!!!). Well, I discovered this problem at the mall parking lot, so sure enough I had to have good samaritans help little ol' me since I can barely pop the hood (don't ask for me to open it...it's just not going to happen ). Man...damn tire was stuck TIGHT & wouldn't budge even after the grueling efforts of one good samaritan to remove the lug nuts.
So, another good samaritan had a bottle of Fix-A-Flat (THANK YOU SIR!!!) who preferred to help the clueless me than wait on his wife who was shopping for shoes (poor guy...it'll be a while). Anyway, it's cold down south currently so we weren't sure if it'd work since the temp had to be around 40ish degrees for it to work right. Trust me...I was COLD!!!!
He did the work & the tire was okay off the pavement, but once they set it down, the flat was still there & the air was coming out quick. At least it wasn't on the rim anymore!
Well, my cuz did a real quick drive to her house which was minutes (5min) away while mine was about an hour away (yes, I live out with the cows). The car was dumped, & I had to borrow the big sis car to go home in (THANK YOU big sis!).
Now, this in all was pretty bad but not terrible. The next day, the cuz calls me to let me know she'll do a homemade patch that should work & get me to the dealership so that they can replace the tire with the spare. Well, loe & behold, my cuz did the work, but unfortunately as she was testing the workmanship on the road, the car started to overheat!
I was more upset & worried than mad. I mean, I just had the darn thing serviced barely a month ago. They did all the flushing & filling in the fluids & stuff. My cuz did me a great service yesterday, let me tell you! I LUV my CUZ!!! She went to the trusty Autozone (mind you it's Easter Sunday--I was amazed they were open!) & asked if her & my older bro's assumptions (they consulted while I was busy in church services) were correct.
Coolant people...your car needs it. And apparently mine lacked a drop of the damn stuff. Oh yes, I was hot then. What the HELL?! It was serviced already for all of that! ARGH!!!!!!
So of course the trusty Autozone man got 'em a bottle of the good stuff (Peak brand) and poured about a liter of the yummy, gooey stuff. Well, that must've done the trick...it no longer overheated! I'm the only one left steaming (besides my cuz who was at her wits end!).
Oh yeah...I loved getting up this morn at 5AM to get to my big sis house at 7AM for her to have her car for work. And going to the dealership to light the match under their feet. All in all, they looked at it again & confirmed that the coolant wasn't enough and that it was riding on an air pocket, hence the overheating. Hmmm, I don't know about you, but that must've been some really big air pocket if there wasn't a drop of the damnable thing. My cuz thinks they are covering their butts with not admitting that the last service done on the vehicle wasn't done right and that in actuality there was no coolant put in after it was flushed. Then again, it only really started overheating sometime last 2 weeks...it wasn't really noticeable until yesterday when it read all the way to H.
So I'm here now with groggy eyes, mind, and with the nerves all shot. My usual service advisor wasn't there that early in the morn, so I will be giving him a call a little later today to give him the heads up on this 'unique' problem I had. Maybe I should be grateful for the flat last Saturday. If I'd run the car any further...hello cracked engine. That would've been fun.
Now all I have to do is buy new tires like I was gonna do on Saturday! Michelin or Goodyear? GY TripleTred or Mich Destiny or Hydroedge? Warranty or no? Choices, choices, choices...
