Where have I been?

May. 4th, 2009 | 04:21 pm

Good question.  Mostly I have been working way too much, and I have been too distracted by other things.  I also tend to private lock too many entries.  But it has still been more then six months since I last posted.  Sigh. 

I have decided that I love Franz Ferdinand.

My beautiful boy

Oct. 23rd, 2008 | 11:11 pm

Just needed to comment on the beautiful chapter art CLAMP drew for the latest chapter of Tsubasa.  It appears to be Watanuki on the cover in his school uniform but in Clow Reed's cloak.  On the inside they comment on  how much he looks like a young Clow Reed.  I was always a little attracted to both characters.  Now I know why.

After reading a the latest chapter of xxxholic, this is what came to mind.

Watanuki doesn't believe that he should be a part of this world. Doumeki has to prove to the boy that his life is worthwhile to someone.  Even Doumeki is surprised by how that manifests.

Doumeki/Watanuki concept

Oct. 15th, 2008 | 10:38 pm

Ok.  I had an idea that I have been toying with about the Doumeki/Watanuki relationship since the revelation of Watanuki's true identity.  

One idea is to have Watanuki quickly become more unstable in this universe as Doumeki struggles to confront himself with his feelings for the boy.  One day while walking home from school, Watanuki reveals to Doumeki that he knows about his true nature in this world, and he believes it would be in the best interest for everyone if he just disappeared.  He states this in his dreamy sort of state, and Doumeki becomes furious with him.  He throws Watanuki up against the wall and angrily threatens him, calling Watanuki a selfish idiot.  Look at how much people have sacrificed so he could stay a part of this world.  For once, Watanuki doesn't become angry.  Instead he leans forward and whispers to Doumeki, "why?  Why are you so intent on saving me?"

Doumeki is for once flustered and out of his element.  Up until now he never questioned why he chose to save Watanuki, it was just his duty.  The boy staring up at him is requiring a response, and for a brief moment, Doumeki is caught up in the mismatched color of Watanuki's eyes.  He breaths heavily and starts to lean in, unsure of what his body is doing.  Before he knows it, there is just a small breath of air between his and Watanuki's lips, and the boy seems nearly as startled as he is.  Doumeki jerks back and shoving Watanuki further into the wall. The pain causes Watanuki's temper the spike, and he begins to scream at the idiocy of Doumeki.  He yells at the man all the way home, and Doumeki hides behind the fury trying to get his thoughts together about the boy.

At this point, Doumeki is completely unaware of his own feelings towards Watanuki, but as he begins to examine why he feels the way he does, he can't help but come to understand that he just can't believe in this world, in his world without the boy.

Eventually, it comes down to a moment when Watanuki is disappearing in front of him that causes Doumeki to make his move, and he launches himself into a kiss with the boy to bring him back to this reality.  When Watanuki tries to confront him about it, Doumeki just kisses him again.

Yeah, that is all I have on that at the moment.

Jan. 5th, 2008 | 03:07 pm

Here is a list of things that I need to get done in the next few weeks at work.

Finish up event calendar and verify new classes with instructors

Revamp birthday party grid

Yup, I think that is it.  Sigh.  How am I supposed to get so much done with so little hours to work with.

Happiness is a state of mind and being

Jan. 2nd, 2008 | 11:28 pm

I stated in my previous entry that I need to make sure that I incorporate my life with the things that make me happy.  So I will use this space to write down things that I think that make me happy.  I plan to keep adding to this list, and possibly reposting it to remind myself of this.  I too often find that I let myself get bogged down in the details of life, and that I don't take the time to do the things that truly mean something to me.

1. Writing more. I love to write, and yet I do it so rarely.  It is the place where I get out my emotions.  It is where I can play with reality and bend it to my own whims.  My longest dream was to be a writer of worth.  I doubt I will ever achieve that, but it is still one of my favorite pastimes, and I should not let it disappear to the wayside.

2. Nature.  I need to be around natural things and use natural materials.  I feel most right with the world when I take a walk in a park, or sit by a body of water, or when I let thread move between my fingers.  I need to keep practicing my stitches to become stronger in crochet.

3. Talking.  I need to talk. If I don't communicate with people, I feel like I have closed myself off from the world, and then the thoughts just spin around in my head.  It makes me feel suffocated to let those things stay bottled up.  I need to make sure that I talk to someone, and don't let myself get caught up on a computer all the time.

4. Reading.  But this is one I need to control as well.  I love to read other people's stories, but I need to remember to make my own as well.

5. Learning and sharing.  Nothing makes me happier then to learn something new, and then to pass that knowledge on to someone else.  This is most likely my strongest calling in life.  If I had been smarter, I would have figured this out earlier and made a career out of it.  Maybe I still can, but I am too lazy to go back to school.

6. Cooking.  But cooking because of pleasure.  When cooking becomes a chore, I hate it.

7. Music.  I need to surround myself with it.  I still get a little pleasure out of playing music, but I would rather surround myself with someone else's tones.  Music is not where I express myself best creatively, but it is where I feel the most from other's expression. 

8. Creating.  I need to create.  This is new for me, and I still struggle with the lack of experience, education, and capability of many crafts, but I found a great desire to express myself this way.  Finding a medium and sticking with it is more difficult.

Tim Drake's Issues

Dec. 21st, 2007 | 08:23 am

Although I am very happy that TPTB are finally addressing some of Tim's issues with the deaths of so many loved ones, do we really have to drag him through the lazarus pit in order to deal with it.  If the poor kid hasn't been through enough, then lets just feed him to Ra's a ghul.  Sigh.   So far the Ra's a Ghul story arc that is connecting all the Batman titles is pretty good, and I am glad that Tim is a central figure in this.  I just wish that he wouldn't have to continously suffer.  Its hard watching Damian taunt him with the concept that Bruce Wayne will never be the father to Tim that he is to Damian.  Damian is way to messed up in the head.  Guess that what you get when you are born in a test tube, designed to be the vessel of your grandfather's return, and then trained by the league of assassins.

melting away

mood swings: hot hot

I hate the month of August in Ohio.  Hot, muggy, the last dog days of summer.  I have never been one for the heat, and by August I am ready to be done with it.  After spending a week in beautiful San Diego where the average temp was 75, this near 100 degrees days of humidity almost as high is quite depressing.
