Bleed in Blue

Every now and then when I get desperate enough for fics, I'll go on the old fanfiction.net. I usually stick to rec lists and communities for fics but when I really need a fix and none provide me...I reluctantly go there and try to swim through the ocean of bad fics in attempts to find maybe one decent fic ('cause seriously there is so much garbage on that site these days).

But while I was scrolling down to get to my usual FFVII section...I couldn't help but notice something right above it.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII (530)

...

Wait. What?!

How does a game that doesn't even exist yet (STILL) have 530 flipping fanfics?! Ok I mean I can understand a few fics here and there, people theorizing and making up their own stories based on the information given, it happens sometimes. BUT. OVER 500 of them???!!!! What the fuck are these people writing?! I know the trailers and basic info has been around for years now but its still not what I would call enough to really be able to write stories about it until the game actually comes out.

I really hope after (IF) the game comes out that all these fans end up being dead wrong with their characterization and plots and cry a river over it. Would serve them right. XD

Its just like I really don't get how you can claim to love a character when you don't know anything about them yet. Like when people cosplay stuff when there's only one image of it and no knowledge of who the person even is. I mean what if it turns out that you end up HATING that character when you actually play the game? Would you still enjoy cosplaying it? I mean ok, I can forgive it if its for a sequel or spin-off and the character already existed in something else. I mean I'm guilty of doing Advent Children Cloud before the movie came out (though at least I waited til it got closer and we had more info/ref images) and I can see a Lightning cosplayer/fan wanting to do the new armor outfit right away (though I think its dumb to do it before there are more images 'cause lol as I learned with AC Cloud, Square likes to change things or not show details til the finalized product as I had to majorly redo parts of that costume after I watched the movie so chances are if you try to do that outfit now, you wont' be able to get it 100% accurate yet). But otherwise it just seems dumb and shows how much of an attention whore you are. 'Cause it is just being like "I WANT TO DO IT FIRST LOOK HOW COOL I AM?!" ...well bet you don't feel so cool when it turns out you got the costume completely wrong or that character acts completely different than the way you were portraying them.

...but anyways. 530 fucking fanfics. Really? REALLY?!

So Ren was sewing on my machine. And she somehow managed to break a needle. Not on a pin. Not on the fabric. I claimed she broke it on air. But the needle broke and somehow went flying across the room to the far corner opposite of where she was. I kinda just stood there like "..." for a while.

^^;;;

Granted it turned out she somehow pushed the metal plate up on the machine so it hit that which made a lot more sense. Not sure how she did that either though. ^^;;;

GAAAAAHHHH!!!!

LynHargreaves: and no there's no white anywhere in this house x_x lol I'm like "you're joking..."
Katsuharu Subaru: No way. o.o; In all the fabric and all the bins and stuff for sewing, you don't have any white anywhere?
LynHargreaves: *shakes head*
LynHargreaves: Asch used up the last little pieces I had around
Katsuharu Subaru: Ha. Asch wins again. LOL.

*sighs* I'm going to see if I have any white fabric that matches and try to make some as I really don't want to wait to go out to buy more. x_x;

EDIT: Mom has no white...but she has a lot of Oyster! (aka Off-White) >_< Well at least now I know where to look if I ever need THAT color. >> (seriously she's got like...6 packs of it)

Well this makes it officially the end of DDR for me.

My parents just got "DDR Hottest Party 2" for the Wii. -_-; It makes me weep a bit. I haven't played DDR in over 2 years for a reason. Its just not the same anymore. lol And this new version is so stupid. XP I tried playing it and was like "...what is this?"

And seeing my parents try to figure out how to play is sad. ^^;; Oh boy. (Really I'm just annoyed I can't play ToS2 'cause they're on it right now.)

I'm so emo I subconsciously tried to kill myself by slicing my throat with my needle while sewing up Asch...

OW!!!

I'm ok, only light scratch but hurts like a bitch! It keeps stinging. And freaked me out when it happened. I was like "...did I just do that?"

Ah! Asch you really are trying to kill me!

So if you notice a red scratch on my throat this weekend...that's why. x_x

You know, to all you people who seem to think that starving yourself is the best method for losing weight (which I disagree to and will say it again and again), I've got a nice little hint for you...

Become a college student. XP It works wonders.

I have no idea how many days I've gone just this semester with barely anything to eat. Usually not until around midnight too and its always something small. XP And its never on purpose. ^^;; Its a whole lot of being unable to get to food until after its too late, not having anything in my room to eat, sleeping through meals, and just plain forgetting sometimes.

And now that I have no more classes, it'll be especially bad because I have no excuse to leave the room. As I usually get food on the way to and from classes. And already its gone...well. *cough* Saturday I wouldn't have eaten anything if it wasn't for the lucky fact we went to Beth's house for a party she was having and she fed us nachos and chicken tenders. So I managed to eat that way.

Sunday...I didn't eat anything until around 7pm where I got a small Quizno's sub from Upper Deck. And I really should've gotten more food as of course I was still hungry the rest of the night. And today...I have yet to eat anything and no idea when I will as its like pouring now and that decreases my desire to go out as I hate being wet. lol

At least soon I will no longer be a college student. I'll be back at home which means I have a much higher chance of finding 2 meals each day. XP

Edit: 5:43PM - I found food! Yay!

~Lyn

You know you're a poor college student when...

You find yourself stealing toilet paper from the Campus Center bathroom.

...And your housemates rejoice when you tell them you have done so.

Oh man, I really wish these essays would just write themselves. Blah. So sick of them. And I'm only halfway through the big one and haven't started the smaller one. Urgh.

At least I go home tomorrow. ...Oh fuck, that means I need to pack. -_-;;

So like last night I was laying on the floor on my back while talking on the phone for over an hour or so and I kept sliding my fingers through one side of my hair while doing it. So I think because of the angle I was at and the fact that I had been a bit sweaty earlier in the day...when I got up...my hair was all sticking back and up like...well...this.



XP So I find it amusing that my hair can do that without any spray or gel or anything. I don't know. I was just amused.

( Another silly picture XP )

Annnd that's all I really have to say right now. ^^;
