The Layout

Say hello to Takamura Suoh and Imonoyama Nokoru, of CLAMP Campus Detectives. Nokoru's fixation with fans I cannot explain, but Suoh's fixation with Nokoru is entirely valid: he's Nokoru's bodyguard.

Yes, they're in elementary school, but Nokoru's entirely in need of a bodyguard, and Suoh's entirely qualified for the job. They're one of my favorite dynamics in anime, so much so that I braved the overwhelming Pink to make them a layout.

You'd better appreciate it, boys.

W00000000000t!!

Word count: 50,211 as of 5:00 pm today--the deadline's midnight. In retrospect, this is actually farther ahead of schedule than I usually complete large projects, but that doesn't detract from its w00tness (my language, I'll do what I please...shush, you). It's nothing close to complete, there's enough filler there to choke a moose, and there's one chapter that simply has no ending because I couldn't come up with a good way to end it and didn't have the time to work one out; and yet, I'm proud of this thing.

So excited I ran to Meijer for a TV dinner and a Dr. Pepper. It's a low-key celebration to those not online or inside my head.

Also take note that this is my first (probably one of relatively few) double-post between this and my livejournal and don't even start with me about getting on that schtuff. I know. I know. I think it's the comment function that broke my resolve. I'm still keeping this blog 'cause (a) it's free, so why not, and (b) puttering around with layouts can be theraputic if you're in just the right mood for it.

Goal - set, goal - accomplished. Rock on.

Nanowrimo

...because between oncology, dermatology, neurology, theriogenology, digestive diseases, surgery, five rats and two (soon to be three) mice, I just didn't have enough to do. I'm...oh, what's the word...we'll say masochistic, to be polite. I'm masochistic that way, yes.

Masochistic and still living up to my reputation as a procrastinator. Case in point: I didn't make up my mind about nanowrimo until November 2nd, so I'm already a day behind. Haven't written today's quota, but assuming I do, I'll still only be one day behind. Thanksgiving, maybe, will be a productive time. Yes, I think it's time I started planning entirely too much to do over Thanksgiving.

AX pics: have 'em, but they're not getting posted tonight, I'm afraid. Instead, I'll put up a far more recent picture of Da Bois--from top to bottom: Lucius, Sirius, and Severus. Be in awe of their studliness, for Sirius has already been neutered (the idea of Sirius Black shaving his gonads amuses me in ways it really shouldn't), and Lucius and Severus are soon to follow suit.

All this so they'll be polite company for the girls, and it's the girls who are going bezerk over the opposite sex. Way to make our side look good, ladies...

The AX pics can wait for tomorrow when I'm done with the dermatology/oncology exam and incisional gastropexy. If I'd had more time they would've gone up this evening, but I got to spend a couple quality hours this afternoon with my arm up a cow's arse, and you just can't do that and update at the same time, not even with a laptop.

I have something far more valuable: I shook hands with the cervix.

Okay, so I promised the new layout, and here it is; and if you were expecting Doom!Subaru, I imagine you and your retinas are mighty shocked.

If you (by some freak chance) actually know me, you'll be mighty shocked regardless.

I also owe an ungodly number of entries--or at least my AX pictures, though they aren't great in number or quality--and will be getting to those in due time. When I say due time, I mean "really hoping to get them done soon but the moment something trips me up it's all doomed".

Just so's ya know. Over and out.

The Girl

Since I guess I can't fake not being a girl after this layout...

Third-year vet student, halfway through my final semester of actual classes and looking forward to a year and a half of clinical rotations. This puts me closer to actually getting a job than I ever thought I'd be.

This is also why I've been planning this layout since, mm, late August, and only got to it just now. My life is my best excuse.
