| 7:55 am | Kicking the Block I'm bound and determined this time to get past the writer's block. I've come to realize...one of my biggest things is every time I write, I want to not only write well, but write a lot. I try to turn every story into a novel, which means sometimes it gets overtold, and often never finished. Sometimes, a story just needs to be short. This, I have learned, is especially true of fan fiction. A few thousand words is generally all that is needed to make a good fan fic, though many are also longer, and some of them started out as just one of those few thousand word fics as well. So, with finding myself back into a fandom ('ello, Supernatural), and itching to write, I'm probably going to start writing some SPN fic periodically. You'll find it over in ![[community profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small} ibisscrawl once I start writing and posting it, as well as over on AO3 (Archive of Our Own). Maybe on devART too, but I kinda doubt that one. I dunno. *shrug* I'm going to be working based off song inspirations right now, since I write best to music, especially if I can either find inspiration for an entire story in one song or build a playlist for a story (usually what I do for novel-length writing that I do). To give you some idea, here's the current lineup... Listed by song title and artist, fandom, and pairing (if I know it or if it's applicable): Also, wanna make me happy? Go buy me some DW swag! I'm not really picky. Clothing sizes, by the looks of it, I would need a large. And please, no white or light colours if you do want to buy anything. Remember, I do have hyperhidrosis (overactive sweating... It doesn't just effect my hands and feet, so whites and greys aren't really a good idea for me). But I could really use a new hoodie... And I like the black or navy blue one... Preferably with the full logo on it... >.> T-shirts would be nice too, though. ^_^ So, anywho, gonna work on getting past the writer's block. Also working on planning for the trip to Indy in August. We've got a roomie for the hotel, which will cut costs there, and bring a while new level of fun to mealtimes whenever we're all trying to decide what to eat. Especially since other friends are likely to be hanging out for meals as well. (*hinthintjagash*) Also, somehow or other I have managed to loose my driver's license at the moment. *facepalm* So, I have to cancel my debit cards and the like, because the whole card case has gone missing, and go get a new copy of my license as well. Unless I find it over the weekend. I'm pretty sure it's here in the house somewhere. I didn't have it with me at the hospital, and I haven't gone anywhere in over two weeks. I've practically been under house arrest thanks to lack of way of going and being sick, so I know it's gotta be around here somewhere, but I honestly can't find it. So if I haven't found it by Monday, I'm gonna just break down and get new cards. Frustrating... So, anyway, I'm gonna go throw some clothes in the wash. I need to get some laundry done. And hey, my devART addon for Firefox is working properly again! Woohoo! It's about damn time.

| 3:40 pm | Home, At Least... Still not necessarily well, but I am at least back home. I got discharged yesterday afternoon, and have been catching up on rest since. So, just letting you know so you don't worry. Thanks for all the well wishes. I am feeling much better than when I was admitted to the hospital.

| 10:08 pm | Hospitalized... I'm in the hospital. Before you panic, I'm okay. I'm here for antibiotic treatment via IV. The lymph nodes in my neck were so severely swollen, when my grandmother carried me to the doctor this morning, the doctor was afraid it was abscessed and had me sent immediately to the hospital. Turns out it hadn't, but it would have had I not got here when I did... So... I'm in the hospital. I have an IV. It's pumping me full of antibiotics. The IV sucks ass. I don't know yet when I'll get to go home. That sucks most of all. At least I have internet access. Yay, hospital, for doing something decent.

| 2:44 am | Insomnia (Post #2 for today) Lalalalala... Yeah... I'm an insomniac... Doesn't help that the munchkin has an ear infection, either. So I haven't been sleeping well anyway because of that. When the baby's sick, he wants to cuddle. I don't like being cuddled on when I'm asleep. I get too hot and overheat. This has led to me falling asleep mostly sitting up on the couch in the living room in order to let him have my spot on the bed to cuddle with his daddy. So, beyond that... Random doll update: my DOC U from Dream of Doll will be shipping today and should be here within a week or so, I think. Also got the new hands for my DOI Luke so that he's no longer having to sport that broken one. This makes me very happy. ^_^ As for how things go so far as the new Supernatural kick... I finished Season 1 completely now. I'm having a hard time finding all of the second season, but I'm working on it. So I am kinda skipping ahead a bit out of frustration and am starting on Season 3 (besides that the ONE episode of Season 2 I had no trouble finding was the freaking clown episode!! *shudders* Damn clowns... Not as bad as mimes, but they still scare the shit out of me... Umm... Yeah. I'm afraid of clowns. And mimes. Blame the blasted Clowns for Christ for that one (for readers of Oh My Gods! webcomic, yes the Clowns for Christ really exist! I've seen them! They're even more insane/scary in person!! O.O ). So, now that you know that embarrassing fact about me... Favorite Winchester? Sammy. <3 As much as I love Dean, I have a thing for geeky boys. *snort* Opinions on the show so far? Still to early to really tell. I'm obviously enjoying it, seeing as I sat and watched the entire first season in the course of a day. (And why must the plumber have his arm mutilated by the garbage disposal?! I mean, seriously! *shudders* I nearly had to go puke at that one...) And to answer the fandom question: gen/het/slash/etc? Umm... All of the above? ^_^;;;; I'm a major bookworm, after all, and And just because I can... A little bit of photo spam! Ever wondered what Alabama looks like in areas? Here's Noccalula Falls in Gadsden, Alabama. ^_^   Nice, huh? ^_^ One of these days, we're going to make it down closer to the actual Falls. Hopefully, anyway... If we have time before we're not living here anymore. Should be interesting to see how that will work out.

| 5:10 am | I Give Up You win! I'll watch Supernatural. Or, more accurately, I'm watching Supernatural. Until I get freaked out between a combination of getting entranced by it, plus insomnia lack-of-sleep state, plus creepy bit in the show which leads to a break being necessary, at which point I actually replace some of my icons with new ones (as can be seen). So...yeah... Hello, fandom. It's been a while... Anyone got any fic recs? ;) This entry was originally posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/114877.h Current Mood:  pleased |

| 7:07 pm | Looking for Beta-Reader(s) Okay, so... Here's the deal... I need a beta reader. Or more than one, really. Someone who's willing to read some crazy stuff at times, and that isn't afraid of making the writing bleed. I mean, seriously tear it apart, offer advice of how to make it better, tell me where I've fucked up, the whole nine yards. I'm writing my stories in Google Docs now, so if you're interested, send me a note with your Gmail address and I'll give you editor access. Here's a segment of the current story I'm working on, entitled Ink and Scars. It's the backstory for one of my ball-jointed dolls, explaining the scars and tattoos he has (or will have, once the weather is fit to put them on him... *sigh*), but the story is important to understanding his character, and will be part of a longer collective series of writings... * * * An agonizing scream tore from Rasuika's throat as he fell to his knees within the temple between the worlds, a place of sacrifice that all like him, those of human and divine blood of the Neteru, the ancient gods of Egypt, would come to make their offerings to their divine ancestors. Tears streamed down his face, mixing with the blood still on his hands from where he had followed the orders given to him by his master. He knew too well what he had done was wrong. But even then, he had hoped, more than anything, that Sai might finally accept him if he were to prove his devotion by doing exactly as he had asked. If only he hadn't asked for the deaths of hundreds of innocent villagers along the Nile... Rasuika reached up with shaky hands towards the altar, fingers slowly wrapping around the handle of the blade resting there. Power pulsed through the temple as he took the sacrificial blade into his hands, his normally blue eyes shifting to a bright gold as he gave into the divinity in his blood, letting it fill him with its strength. * * * I know the biggest thing I have trouble with is descriptions. My strength lies in dialogue, so I need someone who's willing to help me expand on the basic descriptions, giving me suggestions of what to expand and what to leave vague. And sometimes, I have some really weird typos. I'll leave out words, and won't notice for days after I've posted it somewhere. So...yeah... Talk about embarrassing... *blush* But if you're interested, please let me know! I've got more than that written right now, and am willing to post more of it for you to read if I get any takers. But it gets a bit...more graphic after this (though detail is still minimal at the moment, since I'm just trying to get the skeletal story out at the moment). I wanted to be able to post it without having to worry about the whole age restriction needing to be bumped up, so...yeah. If self-sacrifice and cutting bothers you, you won't want to read any more of this story. So, you've been warned. Comment on Dreamwidth or email me at jackalibis@dreamwidth.org for more info!

| 2:05 am | Gratitude Today I am grateful for... ...the simple pleasures brought on by playing with toys. It's pretty obvious I've found a new hobby (that being Asian ball-jointed dolls). It's proving to be quite a creative outlet for me, ranging from online role-playing, clothing and costume design, planning customizations to the dolls, character creations and developments, and much more. Not to mention they're just full of resin pretty, and I love them dearly. ...good friends who tolerate (or are amused by) my strangeness. It makes me happy when my friends at least show some interest in the things that I try to share with them, even if they don't really get into it themselves. ...beautiful spirits who love me for who I am, no matter what, no matter the distance between us, no matter should we ever even meet in person. You know who you are, and I love you dearly. ...classical music, because it just makes me happy in a way I can't really find words to describe. ...people who can write in complete sentences. Or at the very least hold a conversation and make more than three or four words per post in an instant messenger. I like paragraphs! They are wonderful things. ...well behaved computers. Like mine. Just sayin'. ...wireless mice. There's just something awesome about a limegreen wireless mouse. Seriously. ...having finally found my car keys! After three damn days! *snuggles them* I can leave the house again now! ...anyone who actually paid attention long enough to read through this. Thank you. <3 This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/113998.h Current Mood:  thoughtful |

| 6:14 am | WTF, Brain? Good morning to ya! ^_^ While I'm up insanely early today (woke up at 4:30am CST), it was not exactly a pleasant way to wake up. The best possible description of what happened would be dream vertigo. Not fun! First off: Anyone else going to be at GenCon Indy 2010? Beyond that... I think today is going to be a coffee day. Sabam is on vacation this week from work, which means I finally have access to the car! Woot! *happydance* And since I can get to it before the road construction starts this morning, and be able to take the backroads home instead of having to get on the highway, I'm seriously considering going to the coffee shop in Boaz this morning. It's been forever since I've got to go last (that being during NaNoWriMo 2009 in November). I really want a good cup of coffee, or tea, or both. ^_^ Depends on how long I end up sitting there, I guess. The biggest issue I'm having right now is deciding whether or not to take my computer or to leave it behind. I usually manage to get some writing done whenever I'm out there... But I think I may want to actually do pen & paper this time... So a quick stop by Walmart to get a couple of notebooks and some pens, then go back across the street for coffee, I suppose. ^_^ It's quickly approaching time to get Ronin up and ready for school. I've also got to find the box of checks, as we used the last one in the book the other day, according to Sabam anyway... I haven't checked, but I was pretty sure we had a lot more left... >.> Huh... Oh well. Hopefully the box will be where it's supposed to be and I won't have to order a new one. Again... I hate when that happens. You'd think keeping it in a filing cabinet would ensure they don't get lost. You would think this, but somehow, you would be wrong. Because someone always moves them, and then we never find them until after the new box arrives and we've used about half of the new box, making the old box unusable. Oh yeah... Well, I'm going to go see to it, then. I need to go by Walmart anyway this morning for some things beyond just the pens and paper. Mostly caffeine... We're out of sodas again. ^^;;; Hope everyone's had/having/will have a good day! Much love! <3 This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/113557.h Current Mood: awake |

| 5:58 pm | Anyone Else Going to GenCon? I know that ![[personal profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small} jagash is going, but is anyone else going to be attending GenCon Indy 2010?Sabam and I have set aside the money, will be saving more between now and then, bought our 4-day badges, and will arriving in Indianapolis on August 2nd (he has a week vacation, so we're taking advantage of it to do some sightseeing while we're there). If you're going to be there, be sure to let me know! I want to see you! ^_^ Part of the reason we're leaving out a couple days early is to also scope for potentially moving to the city as well. We've been looking at apartments online, and if we can get Sabam a job up there, then we will likely be leaving Alabama behind. For the most part, this also puts us in a good central location for almost everyone I know, cutting travel time down to about 12 hour drives to anyone I know in the US and Canada. If you're reading this on LJ or IJ, please leave your comment over on Dreamwidth. I don't check those sites anymore, and in a few weeks, those journals will be deleted as well. Especially now that Dreamwidth can import external sites onto the reading pages. So, yeah. I'm closing the unneeded journals. I'm tired of not seeing my comments because LJ doesn't send me my notifications like they're supposed to. DW is much better in my opinion, and I will be putting my support towards it. Well, anyway, beyond that, I'm about to be updating some more in ibisscrawl soon. Mostly character and setting information right now, and some short scenes I'm working on to flesh it out further. So keep an eye on that. ^_^Also, I need caffeine! I think I'm going to run to the store right quick. Or the coffee shop... >.> Coffee sounds really good right now.

| 10:06 am | 5 Quick Updates 1. Ronin had caught a stomach virus. He's doing much better now though. 2. I'm getting back into online role-playing via instant messenger. It's been forever since I've done IRC rpgs, but I'm enjoying myself now that I've got back into it. 3. Creativity projects are currently in the method of sewing, costume and clothing design, and writing. This makes me very happy. ^__^ 4. Things looking hopeful on the financial front. Taxes have been filed, and the return is going to be larger than initially expected. This makes me extremely happy! ^__^ 5. I've noticed outright personal blogging isn't working out too well at the moment, because nothing much is really going on. If you want to keep up with other stuff I'm doing, here's some of the places you'll find me using: Twitter: @jackalibis dreamkeeper (BJD doll blog)deviantART : jackalibis This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/112964.h Current Mood: amused |

| 8:29 am | Now Where Did I Put My Clothes? Now that I have your attention... *snerk* Yeah, I'm trying to find a shirt and my jeans. My grandma is coming up for us to go out for breakfast this morning. Just wanted to let everyone know I'm feeling much better. The munchkin is feeling better as well. And that today is my sixth year wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, Sabam had to work today (a 12 hour shift at that...), but he has tomorrow and Saturday off, so not a big deal. But yeah... I'm feeling old now. We've been married six years, together for seven, and known each other even longer than that. Tomorrow is also Sabam's 25th birthday. (Yes, we had no planning whatsoever when we got married...) So, if I'm not around much this weekend, you know why. And get your mind out of the gutter already. ^_~ This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/11 Current Mood: amused |

| 12:51 am | One Down, One to Go Ronin's been fever-free for over six hours without medication so far. I'm hoping he'll make it through the night to stay that way. If so, that's one down on getting over the worst of being sick. Then I can focus strictly on getting myself better. (Yeah, being a mom is rough sometimes, especially when both you and the kid are sick.) On the bright side, the ear infection I was getting has cleared up (thank the Gods for those ear candles! <3). Now I'm just fighting a case of the sniffles with possible strep throat. Nothing new there. I have severe allergies and am an active carrier of strep (all it takes is me being around anyone with it, and my strand mutates and becomes active and contagious. Fun fun. *headdesk* Word of warning for everyone: don't get around me if either a) we know I have strep, or b) you have strep yourself. I love you all, but dammit, if you make me sick, I won't be happy with you!). I'm going to start delving back into my writing starting tomorrow. Maybe even try to pick back up on some poetry. You'll be able to find it in the usual spot of ibisscrawl and possibly on deviantART if I feel it's good enough (yes, I really do censor what I put up there. We're lucky I've talked myself out of deleting the stuff I don't like on there. There's quite a few that I keep seeing how I can improve from when I originally posted it, and it makes me want to hide it).OH! Mentioning such, I rediscovered some of my insanely old accounts online, stuff that hasn't been used since 2002 or 2003, when I was a senior in high school. I'm curious to see if I can find even older accounts still, back when I was like 13, when I first started using the internet at my father's house. I may go on a scavenger hunt for my old accounts tomorrow. That could be fun. Anyway, it's 1:00AM here now. I'm going to bed now. Good night/day to you! <3 EDIT: And this applies only to those within the US who have my cellphone number, but I do have unlimited texting now if you need to reach me. The rest of you, PM me if you want my mobile email address. I can't save an address book on the mobile, so I don't email out from it except in replies, but I can give you means of contacting me offline that way. Or you can just DM me on Twitter. It supposedly goes directly to my cellphone now. Haven't received a DM yet to be able to verify this... >.> This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/111379.h Current Mood: sleepy |

| 7:53 am | Quick Morning Updates What I'm up to this morning: 1. Wondering why I can only find one sock of a pair of Ronin's socks. And when I do find more than one sock in general (which is rare), all I can ever find is mismatched lengths, thicknesses, and colors. I'm going to go buy him a few bags of new socks and throw out all the old ones, that way they all match. 2. About to get ready to go with my grandmother and uncle for breakfast. Not really sure where we're going yet, but hey, free food. ^_____^ 3. Kind of hoping we can go to Unclaimed Baggage while I'm out with them. Beats sitting at home all day, that's for sure. 4. Got reminded that the tag is due on the car. Fun fun. *headdesk* 5. Need to call other grandmother about possibly getting our old stove back so we actually have a stove that works again. Maybe borrow her dryer for a while, too. 6. Feel a bit sad that I can't really take Raz with me today because a) I probably won't be gone long anyway, and b) there's not a lot of room in my uncle's truck as it is with everyone piled in it. Didn't expect to have that happen... 8. Not being able to count! Yay for dyscalculia! (In other words, numerical dyslexia.) 8. (The real one!) Having Caramelldansen stuck in my head!! ARGH! 9. Looking for Sabam a new job in/around Gadsden, AL. If we can find one, pack up, sell this house, and move down to Gadsden, where we've found multiple potential houses for less than half of what we're paying for this one, all of which are close enough to the mall that I could walk there during the day, and have a bigger home with more storage space! (Really hope we can do this before August.) 10. Trying to finish up a pair of pants for Raz that I'm sewing by hand. Just so you know, I suck at sewing by hand short of small amounts of mending work. Mending I can do. Full, outright sewing? Not so much. This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/110345.h Current Mood:  busy |

| 1:32 pm | I Has A Happy! Yesterday, we went to Huntsville, one of the few actual cities in Alabama (which is still small, compared to what most of you probably perceive as a city). I even took Raz, my ball-jointed doll, with me. Now, for those of you who haven't been with me long, I have some pretty severe anxiety issues, as well as a tendency of being overly self-conscious. People aren't used to seeing a twenty-four year old woman happily carrying around a doll on her arm or shoulder (geek moment here, but if you've ever seen the Angelic Layer anime, that's pretty much how I was carrying him, only he's about twice as big as most of those dolls in the cartoon), so it usually results in some pretty strange looks, and a lot of whispers and laughing behind my back. But yesterday, something was different, and I felt confident, and was totally comfortable carrying him around. And as a result, I didn't get a single nasty look. Some people looked at me curiously, a few with exasperation, but otherwise, nothing bad. I was able to enjoy the outing, even if we were slightly rushed for time since we had to be back in time to get Ronin from school. While we were at the mall, I even snapped a few pictures in the arcade.   And yes, the arcade had a real DDR machine! (The stuff was actually in Japanese on the screen too! lol! All the songs and the dialogue were in English, but most of the stuff coming up was in kanji.) Despite the fact that I really shouldn't have, I played some DDR for the first time in about three years. Keeping it on light mode, I cleared four stages before I just couldn't keep up anymore. It felt really good to be able to do so, too. Though the back button didn't work to well, which made it difficult at times to keep up the combos. The largest combo I managed was 127, too! \o/ I almost had a perfect score for that song. My timing was off occasionally, otherwise I probably could have. Not bad for being so out of practice and not needing to be on it in the first place... *grins sheepishly* So, yeah. I had fun. We mostly went just to get out of the house, though I did buy a Cheshire Cat button from the new Alice in Wonderland movie that they had at Hot Topic. Which is now pinned to Raz's shirt. ^^ This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/109792.h Current Mood: cheerful |

| 8:44 am | I Ain't Dead! Still cold (-8C most mornings; that's around 17.6F for the rest of us). Asthma adverted mostly thanks to me keeping myself holed up in the bedroom. Unfortunately, this has also led to a lot of boredom on my part. I really need to see about getting a TV in here... It's not so bad when Sabam's at work, because I can hijack his laptop to watch DVDs on while I work on my own computer. *snerk* So, what have I been up to besides trying not to freeze or cough myself to death? Not a lot, really. I'm getting into some online roleplaying through the BJD community, even though I'm still working out most of the kinks in Raz's story. It's been fun, and I've been making a lot of new friends. I think that's been, by far, my favorite part so far. Especially since a couple of them are available to talk to for most of the day, which means I'm finding myself less mind-numbingly bored than I was previously. That's always a bonus! I finished a piece of knitting I was making, which will soon be shipped off to the southern bits of London, England, along with a few other random pressies for one of my friends. More pressies will be shipped out over the course of the next few months as well. (I've been secretly hording up gifts to distribute. So, pfft on you, the stuff is already bought/made, so you might as well let me ship it to you. No sense arguing, or else I'll have Ronin pout at you. Fear the cuteness of a five-year-old pouting! *snicker* I've had sugar this morning, can't you tell?) Mentioning mornings, I've discovered a strange dyslexia I didn't know I had. Mornings for me should not be spent out and about, as I discovered the other day, walking into the grocery store, to read the sign that, to me, said, "Shoplifters will be prostituted." Heheheh. Forget prosecuting shoplifters, let's prostitute them! So, that's about it for now. Kudos for anyone who can figure out the title reference. (Hint: It's a quote from something. If you can tell me what it is, you might win a surprise. No Googling!) This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/109503.h Current Mood: freezing |

| 12:03 pm | Cold + Asthma = Trouble I probably won't be overly active for a few more days... I'm desperately just trying to keep warm, as it's dropped down to be way colder than I ever remember it being before. I've been having asthma trouble ever since I was sick recently, and it's being triggered by the cold. So, yeah, I'm in pretty bad shape at the moment, and just trying to keep the airways clear and open to be able to breathe... I'll try to keep an update available as to how I'm doing. Your best bet will be to follow me on twitter, since it's more likely for me to post there than anywhere else on regular updates. I'm not using my @hmtanpu account anymore. You'll find me as @jackalibis now. I'm not posting public tweets anymore either. So put in a request and I'll get to it when I can. Take care...

Stupid winter. Can we move to Hawaii now? This post was posted at http://jackalibis.dreamwidth.org/10 Current Mood: cold |
