*music for my sisters
*write Ike's fairytale
*finish at least one chapter of Prisoner, you lazy h0r. Christ I just want that story done. SO CLOSE and I can't get past this chapter. It's sucking hardcore, ARGH.
*I sense I'm forgetting something

Did not get to go to bookstore, or to eyeball furniture (just look, I won't be buying that sort of sparkly for a long, long time). Ah, well. Will go next paycheck, as tomorrow there is lots to do and all hell does officially break loose Monday. This time for sure.

Also, dad, remind me to tell you about how annoying Cingular is when you call me tomorrow. I had no idea being mugged would be so motherfucking held against me. What a lovely society we live in, really.

I remember what I was forgetting now. Have not read fanfiction in a while, except for bits and pieces on my flist. Need to get my fix - in One Piece (Zoro/Sanji YES), Yu Gi Oh! (I'm sorry, Jou is my weakness, esp. with Kaiba) and LotR (Boromir/Faramir YES - did you hear that? It was the sound of my brother's eyes rolling out of his head. Hehehe). So if I do everythign else, I intend to try and gorge myself on fanfiction. Pity I pick fandoms that tend to run high on the sucktastic. Shall have to skulk around LJ looking for recs.

Bed soon. *YAWN*

Oh! Did finish my newsletter fairytale. Just needs beta'ed, and for once not in a hurry ^^ How nice to be ahead of schedule on something, even if it puts me behind on everything else.

Okay I have a dumb question, but since I'm a computer tard, I need to ask.

What does it mean when everyone says "Beta-ing"? Everyone's always doing that to their story chapters before they get published and I want to know.

It's having someone (usually a friend or someone who's opinions and advice you trust) look over your writing and edit it for you so you can fix your mistakes before you post it. ;3 Although, I have no idea how it got that name. Netspeak is weird.

You'll get it all soon, mashoogina :)

And after awhile, you give up attempting to figure out why things in netspeak are called what they are. It's like wondering why the plural of deer is deer, instead of deers. It just gives you a headache. :)

Beta is a type of program that companies will send out to certain people who use it and check for bugs and glitches and stuff. It's probably related to that.

If you want a Kaiba/Jounouchi fix (if you haven't already found it) that is totally not suck-tastic, go here: http://www.sanityoptional.net/hiatus/

The author, Ashes or Samurai Ashes, is my personal favorite YGO fanfiction authoress. She also has a lot of other pairings on her site, for all your YGO needs.
