Yeah, so...long time so post, yeah? SORRY! I just haven't really had much to say...well, I HAVE, but I generally just tend to forget to post about it. Anyway, I went to California for a week with my big bro in August for Morphicon, our dad had a timeshare there so we could stay the week instead of just the weekend. It was epic, I loved seeing my friends after two years, even though I barely got to hang out with them, because we had to stay in Anaheim instead of Pasadena, but I couldn't really complain. I loved seeing all the actors again/meeting new ones, like Mike Ginn (who I talked to forEVER, because the poor guy never seemed to really have a line, and I don't know why, because he's fucking adorable and sweet), David Yost (who I NEVER thought would end up at a Morphicon, he's also super sweet, and I stayed in his line for like...two/three hours to get an autograph, WORTH IT) and Dan freakin' Southworth, who I wished I had REALLY gotten to talk to, because hot damn, that man is hot. So I settled for getting an awesome hug, and a picture where he held me and kissed the top of my head (it is currently my Facebook profile pic and is probably not going to be changed anytime soon). AND I got to see him again after spending a little time with my friends at the hotel in Pasadena, when my brother and I were leaving, I saw him, yelled at my brother to wait, and ran over to him to give him another hug. If I could get hugs from him forever, I would be a damn happy woman. I bought a few things, got some nice updated pics (like with JYB, considering I hadn't seen him since freakin' 2007, ugh), and essentially spent all of my money because stuff in California is expensive as hell, wtf.

We took a REALLY nice bus tour on my brother's 30th birthday, we went to a bunch of places, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive (SO EXPENSIVE WAT I WANTED TO BUY SHIT SO BADLY), Farmer's Market (skipped that shit for this AMAZING THREE FLOOR BARNES AND NOBLE WAT), Santa Monica beach and Venice beach (which are two COMPLETELY different places for being so close together, seriously, Santa Monica is like the suburbs and Venice is the ghetto). We probably went/saw some other stuff too but I am forgetful and this was months ago, sooo. Of course there was a lot of walking, UGH, and I STILL HATE AIRPORTS, I also tore the shit out of my Bleach messenger bag in the parking garage of Metro, because I was tired, and I am not a fast walker, so I ended up just dragging my bag along the ground. Damn friction, you suck. Also, the airport security between Metro and LAX is way different, we had to do all the regular shit at Metro, seperate all your shit, the x-ray thing where you had to like, get in a Macarena pose, and the metal detector. Not like that at LAX, Tre and I were able to put all our stuff in the same bin, and no x-ray, just the metal detector, it was weird.

That was really the only interesting thing that happened last year, haha. There's this convention I want to go to in March in Kentucky, because more Power Rangers peoples, and more of my friends are going to be there, but one of the days falls on my dad's birthday, plus, I'm trying to save up to HOPEFULLY be able to go to Comic-Con this year, which I have been wanting to go to for YEARS, that's the one convention celebs actually take seriously! What else, what else....oh yeah, I have absolutely been FAILING at writing lately. Didn't finish my het_bigbang OR my NaNo, and I'm like, what the hell. So I'm just sticking to short pieces for awhile and see where that takes me.

Also, it was my birthday on Sunday, I didn't do much, hung out with my brother and dad, FINALLY got to see Skyfall, I STILL HAVE SO MANY FEELS FOR THAT MOVIE ESPECIALLY THE ENDING UGH. And Naomie Harris was fucking FLAWLESS, I don't care WHAT my brother says, he has no taste anyway, he doesn't even like James Bond. -_- Also got Japanese food, because, well, I'm addicted to it, it's my weakness.

Also, prompts for the Porn Battle are being taken until the 17th! GO PROMPT NAAAO! Maybe I'll end up writing something this year!

...so how have you all been? ^_^

So, my het BB is officially finished! ...technically, at any rate! I'm not pleased with it at all, I mean, there are good points, but overall, it's pretty rushed, there are plotholes up the ass, I leave things ambiguous, and just...bleh, most of it was my own fault, I can admit. But if anybody wants to read it, the website with my fic, and all the others are here! And pleasepleasepleasePLEASE check out the art that was done for my fic, it will BLOW YOUR FREAKIN MIND I SWEAR! ♥!

And SO MUCH MANY THANKS AND LOVE AND RAINBOWS AND HEARTS AND CUPCAKES TO dragovianknight for being my beta AGAIN, and for dealing with my whining and shitty last minute deadlines and just her general epicness, I really do not know what I'd do without her epic skillz of a beta! As always, it almost goes without saying at this point, much thanks and love to the OMC for...well, being the OMC and my besties for liiiife! And of course, thanks to everyone else for supporting me and not letting me quit, and telling me that I could do this, you guys really are the bestest! ♥

And there WILL be a revised and extended edition of my Xena fic, I PROMISE you that! Don't know when, but it WILL happen!

I did it, you guys, I fucking DID IT! My epic RPM AU for au_bigbang is DONE HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Oh man, I'm so happy, you don't even knooow! I've posted it all over the place, and I might port it over to my writing journal on el jay, I dunno, but I'll most likely post it on FFN just because that goddamn site needs more awesome pairings, hmph. My thanks are posted over at mysweet_time, but it never hurts to thank awesome, epic people again, amirite?!

Thanks to starandrea , who didn't have the time for beta-ing, but is awesome for offering anyway! Also, my second, equally as awesome beta dragovianknight , who dealt with my horrible nagging, and equally as horrible time constraint. Love to my back-up beta/cheerleader/overall bestie the_beccaroo, thanks to cheerleader/idea giver/super bestie dr_tiffy, and MASSIVE love to my precious/epic bestie/official artist of EPIC bruised_candy. I ♥ you allll!
