.i don't WANT a life

*
I don't know what it is, but I haven't felt like doing anything this semester. I have to force myself to do homework, and to pay attention in class. It's still (relatively) the beginning of the semester, and this is usually when I'm at my best. I don't even want to think about what kind of slacking I'll be doing at the end of the semester.

*
a;djfa;kssa I have yet to read the latest One Piece chapter (I think it's out for download?), but I have read about it, so stop if you don't like spoilers:
r.i.p. ace! we will miss you ;_;

*
I have not given up on my fanfics! I continue to write, and to be plagued with the feeling that I'm writing everyone OOC. But I was thinking of posting sort of experimentally on another site, and seeing if people give me constructive criticism (specifically on how to get the character's speech patterns down).


*
I am sadly addicted to twitter. I use it to complain and rec things, and talk about which television shows I'm watching. And read about what DH is up to. *is pathetic*

I should go now, since I have homework that's due at 11:30.

yeah, i've always got a hard time with the voices, too. it's a lot harder than them thinking, because with that, you can take a few liberties, but not with how they actually talk. that's why i always like writing dialogue the least, unless it's for characters i'm confident i can actually write.

oh god, i know! and heeee, you saw this, right? SO FREAKING AWESOME. seriously. when i first saw it i just wanted to go all OMG PEOPLE HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO THIS MAN IS, because seriously, isn't he the best ever? :D

yay, good for you! besides, once you've actually gone and written it, it's easy to change a few things here and there to make it better, if changes even need to be made. i've noticed that stuff like that (dialogue, characterization) comes much more naturally when you don't think about it so much, because if you do, you only start thinking too much, you analyze every little word and that's not good. but awwwh, really? thank you. ♥

asd,lakjfklds;lkjfldsjf oh my goodness, no. i don't think so, at least. i mean, for fuck's sake, i'd remember something as adorable as that, wouldn't i? do you have a link? *bats eyelashes* :D

that sounds familiar, so probably, yeah. but i'm glad i could be of some help! i know it's hard to stop thinking about it too much, because the thinking's probably the reason for my never-ending writer's block, but maybe it'd help if whenever you start analyzing stuff, you tell yourself, well, that's something i'll come back to once i've written this next bit here, and on and on and on, and so that'd maybe be a way to do both at the same time.

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.

asljfkls;alkfjsl;alkfjdlsfjs OH MY GOD HOW IS HE SO ADORABLE? HOW CAN SUCH AWESOME EXIST IN THIS WORLD? asd;alkjfls so freaking cute, ahhhhhhh. ♥

i'm SO glad i could help you. seriously. hee, i'm just really happy you're able to write again! ♥ you'll be posting them once you're done, though, right right right? i want to read your sga fics, hee. :)

asfdjkls oh, i'm sure he does. all warm and all-encompassing, the kind you can happily put your whole body into (lol, that sounds almost dirty :D) - the best kind. GOD, I SO WANT TO GO TO A CON JUST SO THAT I COULD HUG HIM. :D

hee, then feel free to talk to me anytime! :D and don't worry, that's what practice is for - the first few tries might not be entirely what you were looking to write, but that comes with time. and besides, i believe you'll do brilliantly already. :)

SAFE YES YES YES that's exactly the word ohgosh. haha, that's what's most fun in life, after all :D -and askfjlds TALKING TO HIM OH MY GOD though i probably wouldn't be able say anything at all other than some odd random mumbling here and there. :D
