It's been a frustrating time the last week and a half, with the modem going bonkers. It kept freezing up and preventing online access from continuing for very long. And it got increasingly worse, until I could barely stay connected for more than an hour if I was lucky. Dad bought a new modem yesterday, and at first it wasn't working, either. But after calling the phone company for help, it seems to be up and running. ^^ It was a relief to not have to be on hold forever, and to talk to someone who knew what was going on.

I finished Triplicate. X3 That was a very bittersweet feeling. I really loved writing that one, and I didn't want to leave the adventure. But I think now I'm ready to tackle the ski resort fic. It will be Angeal's first business trip with Jenova Corp, so that will be fun. And of course there'll be the scene where Seph has to ski away to escape the business rivals who tried to hold him captive. LOL.

I also couldn't resist any longer, and I had to write that oneshot of Genesis and some of his feelings over what happened in chapter 9 of Crisis Core. After finding out just how complex he really is, it all came together. I'm still mad at him for what he did in chapter 9, yet I think I understand at least somewhat why he may have done it.

I dug up the hotel fic of Dartz and Alexander yesterday. I think I posted the original scene in here, a long time ago? I have about three other scenes now, that I wrote off and on, making enough for a first chapter. I can't entirely remember what was happening in the original dream that inspired it, but some things are coming back. And there's such a sense of nostalgia with that fic. I remember how much I wanted to share my dream because I loved it so much. I'm still debating posting the first chapter, though, because I know it isn't likely to be updated too much, and then people will throw things at me. But I'm curious to know if it generates any interest at all.

I got some more written in the KH wing prejudice fic, too, which is good. X3 I'm wondering if I should divide it into chapters. I don't know how long it will be, but if it's left as a oneshot, it will be loooong.

I need to do something more with my claim at 100_chances too. And 30_gens. X3 I have a couple ideas bouncing around for each.

It was! It was tough to get those lights to stay in the sockets, though. XD

Yeah, I know! I totally expected to get something higher than you. XD Now that I think about it though, I did wrap one of my sister's presents with plain brown packaging paper and some old twine, because I was insanely bored with the regular Christmas stuff and it was amusing. XD Maybe that counts as a prank? I think she ended up thinking it was really cool, though...

XD. Being satisfied with something is one of the biggest challenges with writing (or drawing XD). And definitely the most important thing, I think, anyway.^^

I bet! What colors were you using for those?

LOL. That would be different! **loves the smell of wrapping paper.** X3 And all the fun Christmas designs....

Indeed. ^^ I'm rewording some stuff right now, and hopefully there won't be too many instances where that needs to be done. XD; I hate discovering that I've summarized stuff that really didn't have to be summarized!

Uhh... Gosh, it was quite a while ago, so I'm not sure I remember. XD Something tells me they were either little white ones or little blue ones. Or maybe we had strung across the large white ones and stuck those in there, and the rest of him was multicolored? XD. Oh well. I guess that amounts to either white or blue in any case. They matched though! That's the important thing. **nodnod** LOL.

The smell of wrapping paper? I'll have to pay attention to that next time. I've always loved the smell of books though... and new Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. XD

We always have to beg our parents to get new wrapping paper, since we're always stuck with stuff that's been used a million times before. (That is, the design's been used a million times, not the same piece of paper. XD) That's why it gets kind of boring. XD

XD. That would be annoying to find you'd done something like that when it didn't need it! Good luck with getting things worked out.^^

LOL. Yay for it matching!

Wrapping paper is one of those smells that always makes me think of Christmas. ^^ And new books! Lovely! I'll have to pay attention to the smell of new YGO cards. XD

Ahh. XD The same design over and over would get boring. There's a lot of variety around here.

Yep! I did it more than I thought. **shakes head.**
