Stupid bills

[maderr]

Four hundred to the fuckers who took my loans. Speaking of which - mikichan, any suggestion on picking a fight wtih Salliemae? Because I want to rain holy hell down on them. I'm still fucking livid they did this to me (and they called the WRONG phone number to explain why to me - I'm still fucking pissed).

200.00 to my computer

90.00 to the phone bill

Assumign I haven't forgotten somthing? Three hundred to live on 'til the next paycheck. Ugh Ugh Ugh. Finances suck, especially when you don't have them. *rolls eyes* I'm still buying Yami 7 if I can find it. After this week I deserve one little sparkly.

Have begun rereading The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix. LOVE LOVE LOVE these books. Not least of all because the chicks are cool. Soooo hard to find fantasy books where you don't want to stab everything with tits in the face. Stayed up late last night to finish Sabriel and am now onto Lirael.

All right. Time to clock in. Lata' peeps, I vill have story come Monday.

Come, let's cheer you up a little bit.

Remember Yang Yan (pheonix), Ying (fox) and Long Yao (dragon)? They had three children: Lei ('thunder'), Zhen ('precious') and Jie (implies 'excellence'). That's in order of age, by the way, and it's male, female, male. ^^;;

Lei and Zhen are dragons, and were born only a few days/weeks apart. As you'd expect, they had different 'moms', although with me and my m-preg favouring brain, the terms 'mom' and 'dad' have become subjective. :P

Lei was carried by Ying, in his female form. The fact that a little fox was carrying a dragonling caused some seriously major damage. x_X; There's the problem of size, of scales, and the fact that Ying's probably not built to carry dragon-children. >_>; Lei ends up like Yang Yan in that he's hermaphrodite, by the way. ^_____^ Considering that he's quite a 'top', it's not really a big thing. He goes through a difficult period in his life where he was kind of really frustrated at the world and his parents because he didn't think he was their biological stuff and things like that. However, even when he's being gruff and snappish, the reader can sort of see that he adores his Ying-father (that's the closest translation I can get. ^^;;). I mean, there was this time when he was having a high fever and Ying was recovering from some sort of major stress/wounding/I-forget. Ying, of course, wanted to go over to his room and comfort him (actually, he asked Long Yao to carry him over. Accompanied by one of those 'I know you're worried but I want to see our child' Looks. Ying's very good at those. I think Long Yao is quite hen-pecked. XD;;; Or at least, pampers his mates like MAD.) but when Lei woke up with his physically frail father wrapped around him he kind of freaked out and told him to go away and stuff like that. Long Yao brought Ying back to their room, but Yang Yan stayed and gave their child this 'well?' Look. ^^; When Lei didn't explain, Yang Yan kind of went "child, I know you're worried that your father's going to catch your fever, but did you have to express it that way?" or something along those lines. At which point Lei flushed and refused to say anything.

He did apologize later though, in that awkward, uncomfortable, 'I can't say this any louder' way. XD;;;; Lei is so cute.

Zhen and Jie are hatched from eggs, I'm thinking. Don't ask me about the technicalities, because I have NO clue. But their 'mom' is Yang Yan. Yang Yan and Ying were pregnant around the same period of time, which is why Zhen is only a little bit younger than Lei. Because of that they're raised almost like twins are, except they don't look alike or anything.

Zhen loves to spend time with her Ying-father in the kitchen ever since she was allowed to. (I forgot to say that Lei spends a lot of time with his Yao-father ---the dragon one--- as a child and teen learning wushu and basically being... 'menly men' is the only term that comes to mind. :P) She's very pretty, and quite headstrong, but all the children adore their parents, duh, although Ying is probably the most 'mom'-oriented of the lot? So he mostly does the actual cuddling and worrying his head off and stuff. I tend to think Ying worries about Lei the most (because he is very worrying as a child/teen) and dotes on all three of their kids. He's very affectionate, and probably Jie is the most like him...

Oh, and all three children are fairly good at martial arts. Jie, however, is more of a scholar? He's very good on the theory/philosophical parts, and he's probably the only one of the children who can help his Ying-father out with this particular skill, in both theory and execution.

Um, Jie is a few years (maybe two or three) younger than the other two, but they're quite close-knit, all of them.

If asked about biological parentage, I'd say Lei would be a combination of all three of his fathers (don't ask ME), Zhen is more of a 'Long Yao + Yang Yan' child, and Jie is more 'Yang Yan + Ying'.

I was wondering if Zhen is a reddish-coloured dragon, and I know that Jie is a red/yellow/orange fox... (And if you remember, Ying is silver)

Lei is a grey and silver dragon, by the way.

I meant to say "biological child", damnit. =_=;

OH, I forgot! Because Jie is a fox too, he has male/female forms too. ^______^

Well 1st thing to do is to look through your paperwork for the loan consolidation (which is what you did right?) and make sure you listed all the loans. If they sent you paperwork and that loan wasn't listed and you didn't correct it then you really can't be mad. If the loan is listed then I would throw a fit. I don't think it will really do much but you can give them an earfull. If the loan payments are too high based on your income you can have the lowered and look into getting defferments to make them more doable.

I forgot to tell you...

I don't think I can get the package to you in time for your birthday, but I'm hoping it'll get there sometime soon. (I haven't sent it out yet, but I will, ASAP. ^^;;;;;;)

Drop me a note when you get it? I'm paranoid about everything being in there. *_*

I was just thinking about rereading the trilogy... I want that one book you have that I couldn't get in Japan. I really want to draw fanart.

Oh, btw... if you already have any of the gifts I sent you I would appreciate it if you could send them to me. KTHNXBAI!

hohoho...

Geez. I was reading through some of my Memoried things because I'd forgotten a lot about my wuxia worlds, and I've realised that it's not so much that I create complicated scenarios, as the family trees with all their silly little intricacies make it REALLY hard to keep things straight.

*loves you*
