| Well, I'm getting ready to pull out my old ficlist, stuff I was going to write for my ficseries before I skipped ahead. lol. Then comes the arduous process of arranging ALL my fiction into chronological order. Oh man. Heh. This is gonna be an originizing nightmare. *snicker* At least I got stuff divided into timelines, kinda. Tonight I'm going to work on "Transformations, part 2" and "Plan B: catchpoint" (and do some serious rewriting on plan B, cause it gets a little... I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it).
Also, I probably forgot to post this, I have another computer now. I write down a lot of stuff that never gets posted, and the computer might have been one of them. Dad found it at a garage sale, and I reformatted the hard drive (like an idiot. It had too many bad sectors, and the 30 gig was pared down to 6 gigs. I undid all that. D'oh!) I had a spare hard drive that's a gig and a half I tried to install windows 98 on, which ended up also having a lot of glitches. So I disconnected my xp drive from this computer (the upstairs one in my bedroom) and put it on the computer downstairs. So I now have two hard drives on the downstairs comp. as well. *grin* I also got a usb zip drive which 98 wouldn't install, but lovely XP installed it for me. Heh. I just finished reinstalling my old zip disk drive on this computer (the upstairs one) so I can easily transfer information from my storage drive (site drive, the 15 gig on the upstairs drive) so I don't have to wiggle out the drive from around a mess of wires. I also have a couple flash drives (gringringrin). I'm set up and ready to go. I suppose I also forgot to say that I have the odwnstairs comp cause I was missing out on watching tv with my parents in favor of doing sitework. I remember posting about that on numerous occasions. I don't have to worry about that anymore. Though the modem on the downstairs comp is worn out and doesn't work. But I can at least workj on files (and fiction! hooray!) and upload it when I get back to this one (the upstairs computer). I'd go by the computers' names, but I forgot what I called this one. Anyone remember? was it Blitzwing? it only has 2 drives now, butif that was the name, I'll stick to it. The downstairs one is Orbit, cause it's sort of my sattellite sitework computer. Orbit is one of my fancharacters, just so you know. Oh boy. I'm really excited about going back and writing all the stuff I missed. It was a different time in my fiction, different characters, and it's been YEARS since I started writing it. I actually started writing it (the 3rd War series) back in 2001, then stopped writing for a while, then started but skipped forward and kind of got stuck there. I have a crapload of old notes, fancharacter names, a fiction list (plotbunnies) and all kinds of stuff. I even have concept sketches for some of the characters I never used. It's like reminiscing, for me. I'll most likely have snippets and concept sketches later. I have one for Orbit allready. (lol).I'll have to clean it up and upload it. heh. And since we're on the subject of fanfiction, here is a meme. got this from dunmurderin, who got it from dragovianknight. Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change. Something small or large, and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story. | |

| Well, I just finished installing my new printer. The old one went caput several months ago, and I never could get it to work. After I rearranged all my computer stuff, I never hooked it up, and I hooked it up today and struggled with it, then finally gave up on it. But my new one works beautifully. Dad got it for about $5.00 in a garage sale. People upgrade and sell of their old, prefectly-working stuff. It's an older model, a 610CL, but that's okay. My old one was a 682C. No bigdeal. I'm happy cause now I can finish prtinting that fiction. Yay!
So, I'm going to be working on finishing printing out my fiction. now, if only I can figure out where one story ends and another one starts. *snicker*
I'm going to have to go back and check the last page of each fic (I'm finishing out the RP series first) and see if I have pages made. I can't seem to find them in the HUGE stack of fiction I've got right now. I have the first three parts seperated, but it gets a little fuzzy as to where the Wrong Side of Right ends (egads is it long! I can't believe we wrote that much!) we being the rpg group that originally wrote it.
I'm mentally dancing at the prospect of being able to print out the *beginning* ofthe series *snickerchortlesnort* Cause if it ends up being as long as the end of the series *snickercacklesnicker* then it's gonna be a LOT of writing. Wow. I'm probably not exaggerting to say the rp series tops 100,000 words. My printed part of it right now is about three inches thick. *eyeroll* Oh my Word. I seriously need to write the beginning of the series, or nobody's going to get anything about it. It's different now from the beginning (I'm talking about my fiction, not just the RP Series). I should have tried to keep in practice writing the opriginal characters, but it turns out I've subconciously recycled them into my current character, the Marauders. Though the Marauders were different in the beginning of... oh, nevermind. I'm going to try to fill out my fiction more. I haven't been trying cause I allways worry about what's on the site and what isn't, and sometimes I confuse myself. I write stuff then don't add it, then I forget about the stuff in my notebooks, and I have a lot of written stuff that hasn't been typed yet. I guess I'm all kinds of disorganised. But I know what I should do now. I need to get everything typed and in chronological order without worrying about putting it on the site. Then when I'm done, add it all.
This having been said, I need to work on "Transformations, part 2". I know I should stop worrying and just finish printing the RP series, but.. well, I can't really find a reason not to, other than it's huge and I can't tell where one part ends and the next begins. Well, here I get with printing. I'll be writing up a storm most likely. And I'm planning on putting my current timeline fiction on hold until I've finished the past storylines. It's like missing the beginning of a book. That part needs to be written.
Well, I gotta get to printing. Later! | |

| I have eight new songs, just recorded off my windows media player. Instead of it being 10, I'm going to try to use these eight.
I can't randomise them, cause they're not on my media player (well, the recordings, at least. And I'm not on the net, so I can't use the tracks on my playlist) Ok. anyway, I just wanted to try. *takes deep breath* here goes nothing. ( five ficlets behind the cut )- Mood:creative

| Guess who got to see ROTF not once, but TWICE! Yahoo! That's right! I sure did! They say the second time is better than the first, it's true. I caught things I didn't catch the first time. And the crowd was absolutely awesome. The theatre was PACKED. ( Spoilers behind the Cut! ) | |

| Lookee what I got!  That's right, Pocky!  *Is such a fangeek* LOL. I've looked everywhere for this, and even checked the wikipedia to see if it's sold in America. Well, today I found it in the foreign foods aisle of my local Kroger store. LOL. I've been looking everywhere for this stuff. I practically danced back to here my parents had the grocery cart. The only kinds they had were chocolate (double pack) and strawberry. I got both. eheh. They're both really good. (I know, I know, I'm a fangeek. heh.) | |

| I'm still not done uploading files to the download host. But I'll keep working on it. Also, I bring ficcage! that fic I was telling you about, plus one! Here you go! ( fanchar100 fic: Purple )Fanchar100 fic "Nightmare", requested by dark_daebreth warnings: slash (flirting, nothing more) (Prowl/Jazz) ( behind the cut )Also, I'm going with hubby and two friends to see ROTF on friday. Eeee! I can hardly wait! | |

| Well, it looks like I'm not going to make my midnight deadline for getting the downloads section finished. Bugger! and I hoped to have the tf2 soundtrack up on the downloads section by midnight. I'm not going to make it, because the file host takes anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes to upload 2-3 files. guh. Some days I hate dialup. But it's better than no net at all. And I've gone back to my old deadline of having the new music up by 8am tomorrow. To tell you the truth, I don't think I'm going to have it done by then, either by the speed my uploader is going. But I'll have loads more music for people to download. I'm going to go ahead and add the 1986 and 2007 movie soundtracks for download. *sigh* I wish it would go faster. I hate sitting here with nothing to do. Oh wait, I do have something to do. Heh. I have a fic to write. I mentioned it in my last journal entry (dunno if I'll get it posted or not. eheh.) and I forgot. Later! | |

| Well, the downloads section is done, and the pages are all ready to be uploaded, but it's going to be delayed. I just downloaded the new 2009 movie score. I'm adding it to the site today. And since I'm adding that, I thought I might as well go ahead and addthe soundtracks for the 2007 and 1986 movie, too. Anyone who was going to buy it probably allready has, and I have it posted on the site that if the listener really likes the music, they should go buy the album. I don't intend for my website's downloads to take the place of cd sales. Having said that, I'll be uploading music files today, and making pages for the new movie score. I'm working on getting the new movie soundtrack also, but I haven't got it yet. When I do, I might put it on the site for download. I will have it on the site for listening enjoyment, though. I need to get to work on these pages. I've given myself a deadline of tonight to get these pages done. I want to have the new stuff up befre or by the time the 24th comes. Why? well, if you don't know, you're not a transfan! LOL, just kidding. The new TF movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen starts on the 24th! I'll post again once everything is done! later! crossposted to transfancentral | |

| I just got a little inspiration. Closet wine fizzes while the yeast is producing alcohol (it's gasses created that make chapagne fizzy) and thought the major part of the alcohol is produced within the first four days to a week, it can take anywhere from another four to seven days for the wine to "cure" (meaning for the fizziness to stop). During the pre-curing period, or even before the curing period is up, any small amount of jostling can create a huge amount of fizz (think of it like shaking a can or bottle of pop then opening it). I've experience this innumerable times, and it's a requirement to "burp" the wine occasionally (unscrew the lid, let out the gas, squeeze bottle to make extra room after the lid is put back on), and put the lid back on. Unfortunately, in my early days of closet-wine making, I learned this rule the hard way after one of my bottles exploded on me. Anyway, it kind of reminds me of energon cubes. They're so unstable that if you jostle them, they'll destablise completely, and possibly explode. (hur hur.(/deadpan) Anyway, what if someone found an additive that would mix with and stablise the energon? not completely stablise it, but make it stabler so it wouldn't go boom so easily. I've found that since high-grade has a higher energy concentration, it would be more likely to go boom. So, if someone found a way to stablise it to the level of normal energon or a little stabler, it'd be really neat. One problem, though. The additive, which we'll call, umm..... I don't know. I'll figure oout a name for it when I write my fic. Yes, I'm planning on ficcing this. I can just see cable reaching into jade's closet and pulling out a cube and jade going "Don't shake it!" and Cable going "What, like this?" *shakes thoroughly* See? Nothing happened. *puts back in closet*... five minutes later "Bo-woom! Psshhhhhhhh! *opens closet and does anime wilt* uh-oh. Uh, jade?.... *golf ball optics* and Jade would go. "Real good going, idiot. Now we have pink foam all over EVERYTHING! *looms* cable *small look* EEp! I find this funny because it's inevitable in anyone's venture of closet wining or refrigerator wining, and there's nothing to do but laugh, clean it up, and keep going. Plus the sound is WAY worse than the mess ever is. Heh. My "bottle pop" years and years ago sounded like a lightbulb exploded. heh.
Anyway, I don't know. Just thought I'd write that out and see if anyone has any input. | |
