Updates, and promotions

It's time for an update on things, everyone! Now, at the bottom, you'll see a picture that I've had been using in my GAIA signature. That'll show you what I'm going through currently. Now, if I'm offline, it'll say "Ain't on, fool," or something along those lines.

My Muraki coat came in, and I'm very happy with it. Under communities, it's Anime no House that you should check out. I uploaded the picture she took onto Cosplay.com, just to show off there as well. It fits perfectly, considering the fact that I have to wear a suit under it. In the mean time, I've also been working on thinking up an original idea. If I choose to someday work on that, I may draw out the schematics of it, and how it should look. That's a huge maybe, however.

Now, important things. I've had the flu, yes the flu, for about 4 days now. Friday will be day 5 of this hell. Lemme tell you, I've never been sick for longer than a day. When it started at first, some people were trying to scare me with the bronchitis crap. I shrugged it off, because confirmation on that stuff requires doctors and stuff. No way am I going there. The coughing was so bad, I had thrown up more than once. It kept me from sleeping, and all that wonderful stuff. Second day was less of the issue, though both sides of my throat were now irritated. Third day was better in terms of coughing, but it was complete congestion, fatigue, dizziness, and stuff. Today was a mix of everything, and tomorrow I'm hoping things are better. It'll just require me to sleep some time after this journal entry. Seriously, I'm not used to being sick like this, especially when my time came on the second day. So not only did I get to feel like I was dying, but also that I was bloated as hell.

At least now I feel better, in a way. There's still this constant sneezing, but that's nothing. Just hope the coughing goes back down. Work is tomorrow, and no matter what I have to go for the day.

I've used being sick as a reason to work on fan art. That meant taking out my traditional media, an working on mimicking CLAMP's CCS work. CCS is Cardcaptor Sakura, for those who don't know. Those that do, I love you sooooo much.
Try the first of the fanart; The Power
Now, this being improved because I was feeling better; The Fight.

Now, before I go on to other things, there's this fanfic that I think some will appreciate. It's written by a young woman in the Phillipines, who recently changed jobs. Everything uploaded was done while she remained imprisoned at this terrible company. They over-worked, under-paid, and under-appreciated someone who was far too over-qualified to be a simple secretary. Now, she's a call agent at another company, who has fixed hours and better pay. I believe this also gives her a chance for improvement on status as well.

With the fan-fic content, I'll give you a synopsis of what it's about. It starts off with a history lesson, that's meant to partially explain how there is now several 'worlds.' It's roughly, and very loosely, based off of an ancient legend of sorts. Some may notice the names, and such. It's a story that fluidly, and comprehensibly, links together several universes to continue a story line. Those universes are that of Harry Potter, going into the 6th year with our own twists; Yami no Matsei, which will reflect how the plot affects those in the after-life; Yu Yu Hakusho, which connects most with Yami no Matsuei in connections, while the mystery of Youko's history comes to light. Though it's not cannon, I should admit, it gives a nice twist without changing the story; Then, there's Cardcaptor Sakura, and how the mysterious and omniciant Clow Reed plays into all of this. Everyone is a pawn, but take places as knights and bishops, while there's even a Queen and Judas in the ranks.

Read all 23 chapters, over 120 pages, of fanfic goodness. Don't forget to review, so she knows how she's doing.

Now, I need sleep, and have obviously written enough. I hope you all enjoyed this update. Also, those who haven't yet, rent Joss Whendon's Firefly; His best, yet most underappreciated, TV series ever! Then after, if you also haven't, watch it's sequal movie Serenity.

Night!
