Updates

There's one of those digital signs a few blocks from my house, the ones that flash the time and temperature and occasional cheery messages from the owner. When I drove by it a few minutes ago, it was reading 111 degrees.

I'm fairly certain it's not completely accurate, but damn. That is *hot*.

I took the GRE this morning, which went well. I much, much prefer it to the SATs and ACTs and all those other standardized tests schools delight in assigning, because you get your scores immediately. None of that waiting around for a few months for them to mail it to you. That's the sort of instant gratification I like.

Randomly, I did better on the math section than the verbal, which is a bizarre turn of events. I hate math. I haven't taken any form of it since high school, while words? Writing? Vocabulary? Are things I do every day.

Anyway, now I can relax (ha) and write my yaoi_challenge story. Except for the fact that I'll be at an amusement park all day tomorrow. But I'm sure I'll still have it done by, um, Friday. Whoops.

In a wild attempt to keep this post from being entirely meaningless, I'll put up links for the last several wallpapers I've made, since I've been forgetting to update with them here:
Nataku (Vaguely spoilery for the end of the first volume of Gaiden. This one won its challenge, though I like the Gojyo, from the same week, better)
Ripley from The Talented Mr. Ripley
Delerium from The Sandman
Sanzo

Someone needs to choose cute and fluffy lyrics for a challenge. I've been waiting to make a Koumyou wallpaper, because I love him and want to be him when I grow up and have the perfect picture, but none of the lyrics so far have fit him. Also, I have the most adorable, sweetest, awwwwwwwwww-inducing Konzen+Goku image, but everything's been too angsty to go with it. These are my traumas of the moment.

You mean for lyricaldesktops? I asked for 'Brand New Colony' and even left a linkie and lyrics in the comments. :)

It's fluffy. I love it. ♥

Oh, cool! I adore that song. I love all of the Postal Service's stuff, actually. *grins*

I started mine after the challenges went up, got about half way through, and haven't touched it since I went on vacation with my family in the beginning of July.

I was going to be so good and have it done ahead of time so I could give it to my betas and relax and revise. Whoops.

Where did July go again?

It is so not that hot wuss Ohioan. :P

Congrats on being done with the GRE. :D Good to hear that you did well. Did you get your scores uber-quick, or is that just your feeling on it?

*laughs* Yep, sounds familiar. I had this grand plans for writing my y_c fic, and then starting another fic I've had a plot bunny for awhile, and maybe fnishing one other before having to head off.

Yeah, that happened.

Hey, I'm just telling you what the thermometer said. Don't blame me. Randomly though, I think it has been hotter here in Canal than in the rest of Ohio. Everytime I go somewhere, it seems cooler. Plus, we've been on the watering ban nonstop since, like, the first of June, and I don't think Columbus has gone on it once.

And yeah, you get your scores right away. It works that way since it's on a computer: as soon as you finish the answering the questions, it's like "Would you like to see your results?" Very convinent. ^^

*convenient :D

P.S. I saw The Island. ...I HATE YOU. WHY OH WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO /LOGICAL/ ALL THE TIME?? Grrr.

But really, it was so bad, my brain actually /did/ start to melt out my ears. It might have stained my shirt, too. :P Such a great Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie. :D

Don't correct my spelling! I... I... I need to use spellcheck more often, obviously.

Heeeeee. Told ya so. But now the bad movie that I actually want to see is coming out and I will be in Nevada and it will be gone by the time I come back! Ah, Skeleton Key. New Orleans, swamps, voodoo, and cheesy horror. IT IS LIKE EVERY STORY KINK I HAVE ROLLED INTO ONE BAD MOVIE. I want it so badly.
