Edited the "my Dad" and "my Mom" to "Dad" and "Mom" but otherwise untouched Augno excerpt.

Background Info: Ian has a crush on Nathan, but he is currently dating his best friend Michael. Jackie is his other best friend. Ian's been depressed for a week after his brother Lance saw him about to kiss Michael and hasn't talked to him. The rest is explained in the text I think.

Another AugNo excerpt, also unedited for now. I know I'll want to edit this one someday, since it's more serious than the other excerpt.

Background info: Takes place after the Valentine's Day Dance. Ian is the main character. He has a crush on Nathan. Nathan is the star tennis player at their high school and Ian is his doubles partner. They have become closer friends as stuff has happened during the story. Michael and Jackie are Ian's best friends. Lance is Ian's younger brother.

So I feel like posting but my nano is really shitty, so here's some writing I did in August. It hasn't been edited since August, but I kind of like it in its rough state.

Background info: Takes place on New Year's Eve. Ian is the main character. He has a crush on Nathan. Nathan is the star tennis player at their high school and Ian is his doubles partner. Ian is a huge tennis fan. Michael and Jackie are Ian's best friends. They don't play tennis but they watch it sometimes. Jessie is the girl from band that Jackie hangs out with sometimes. Nathan is over at Ian's place after his parents began arguing over a divorce. Nathan's father is overbearing, homophobic, and verbally abusive. Things mentioned include Harry Potter 1 movie (no spoilers) and John McEnroe. Oh, and obviously none of the characters are straight.

LJ friends, feel free to ignore.

So I said I would do an online archive and all but I've been really lazy about it. Plus, Geocities is closing. So my writing is only going to be posted online here under friends-lock (I'll let Geocities die out when it does). As I have written in my profile, if you want to read my stories (for some reason) I'll have to friend you, so leave a comment on one of my public entries and I will check out your profile. Obviously if you don't have anything in your profile and/or don't update, then I won't friend you.

From a friend I found out about #amazonfail.

Read this and protest with me! I am so pissed off that people think they can blot out people like me or not heterosexual from the world. Oh, if we don't talk about homosexuals then they will disappear!

Fuck them all.

So I haven't been online a lot recently because I got Suikoden Tierkreis on Monday and have been playing that basically in all of my free time. I started off slow, which (for me) is 3 hours on Monday. And now I'm up to 20. Though last night, when I was about to go to bed, it hit me - the gaming is tiring me out and I miss reading fanfiction. But script frenzy is coming up so I felt this rush to finish the game before April 1, which I still might do, but now halfway or so into the storyline, I feel like I can slow down. I know, weird.

Anyway, I won't be prowling LJ as much as I was before, so sorry if you'll miss my comments :)

I just decided to do Script Frenzy. This is going to be fun, along with taking tennis lessons and soccer lessons and maybe band again... There really isn't that much going on sports-wise in April anyway...just some college and professional tennis :)

Only 12 more hours until March Madness begins! Guess where I'll be...

...working, unfortunately. But I should be home in time to watch Michigan. I'm not that excited about doing work after that final I took today.

By the way, I wish I was as hot as Victoria Azarenka. Or Dinara Safina.

Sorry, Tennis Channel. I don't want to watch Switzerland vs. U.S. in Davis Cup, but something like Spain vs. Serbia. Except WTF Novak losing to David Ferrer in straights. I just see Novak having a really up and down season.

But yay for the Croatian boys and sweeping Chile! Mario and Marin playing doubles :)

Otherwise, I'm recently really into watching college tennis over professional tennis, if only because I can watch college tennis in person. I think that's one of the reasons, besides being really into college sports in general lately. Though with college basketball, I'm more interested in the bubble watching than the actual games...sad, I know.

...opening a fridge stocked full of fresh food? Gosh I still got a ways to go before I grow up :)

Also, sidenote: I think Jack's Mannequin is inspiring me. Maybe I'll have a story done soon-ish?

Just bought the two Jack's Mannequin CDs off Amazon and got back in touch with "Dark Blue". Which is about a great amount of water causing destruction. Woot. Let's see, what other songs do I like which fit in that category... I guess Mae's "Breakdown" and a bunch of the Thrice stuff... Wow I've forgotten so much. I've been listening too much to Mae, that's for sure.

It kind of sucks when you have to wait for someone else in order to do your assay and miss out on some track and field, but hopefully I won't miss too much...

About 8 more hours until the tennis begins...

I love Grand Slam time, especially when people aren't injured (come on Jo...)

Maybe there was racism in this incident (sorry that the link is in Spanish), but wtf with basically kidnap/ransom here of a Chinese boy in Toledo. Even though Spain is a beautiful country with beautiful and friendly people, there are episodes like this that give Spain a bad rep.

It just saddens me because I want to live in Spain one day, and I happen to not look like a typical European, and though the minority population grows in Europe, it still happens to be smaller than all the areas I lived in so far. I just don't know how I could stand always being a "tourist". Then again, if I lived in Spain, I'd probably be in Madrid or Barcelona because my Spanish sucks. Ah, Madrid.

Thank God! Except for Novak losing to Ernests Gulbis wtf...

So here is the list of things I'm doing because I decided to change things up.

I just wanted to say "FUCK YOU" to all those people who voted for Prop 8 in CA.
