maderr: (Bad Day)
[personal profile] maderr
I'm sorry for the lack of updates. It totally depresses me when I have nothing to offer (though if you wanted to see some of The Alchemist, I could offer that...)

My only excuse is that work fsking sucks right now -- new duties taken on but we can't seem to hire a sixth person and the temp they sent today was, we think, a child rapist in a former life =_=

We're all dying at work right now -- the copy center can barely keep up, the boss is being run ragged, as is the fileroom, and I'm doing the rest which means I'm doing rather a good impressio of a headless chicken.

All right. Back to The Alchemist. I am determined to make these last scenes work :(

What is on these flags, I wonder? Something horribly inappropriate?

Ahaahhaha. I'd consider that a challenge, but you're already causing me enough trouble. Evil goblin.

They should be there tomorrow? Or the next day? It claimed three day service... >.>

Heh, no. I've now beaten everything twice. >.>;; I should write, but I don't know where I'm going. 9.9 Which means that I just need to sit down and figure it out, ne? ^^;; Heh. Also watched the beginning of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and now I'm wanting to look up the story of Captain Nemo to see if that can be slashed somehow... >.> ...and for some reason my brain keeps trying to associate him with your Never Afraid. o.o;; Mew?

Heeeey, I never thought of a Nemo CA. I dont' know the story, but I bet there's potential there. Hmmmm....

[Bad username or site: jolena< @ livejournal.com] read that book, I think she said it was boring as fuck - but I might be confusing what all she's read; her classics background is far more impressive than mine. All I know of that book is how it pertained to the chars in Michael Crichton's The Sphere.

I have discovered that I can read classes at about five pages per sitting. >.>; Most of which I never finished. ^^;; Heh. I think Journey to the Center of the Earth was the only one I actually made it through... ¬ ¬ Hrm... wonder if there's a cliffnotes for it.... -.-;

Beyond my small collection of Ye Olde Horror and 1984-style books, I do not much care for classics -- except insofar as Sammie and I love bitching about them for hours on end.

I remeber reading most Dickens, Moby Dick, Tess of the D'whatits I refuse to remember how to spell HATE THAT GODDAMN BOOK, The Awakening (shoot me), and I know there are more on that list. Precious few I thought were worth the time, but who knows? Maybe these days I'm mature enough to appreciate them. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA not likely.

>.> I've either never heard of or never had the misfortune privilige of having to read any of those. ^^; I think. >.> I read a lot of semi-classics but rather few of the 'true' classics. 9.9 I attempted Arthur and never made it through... ditto on the Oddessy & Illiad... Loved Tom Sawyer but could never handle Huck Finn... it's written in old english. x.x;; Robin Hood was good. Jungle Book is love. Jonathon Livingston Seagull is more modern but oh-so-good for playing with your head and making you re-evaluate the world... *ponder* Oh, and of course the Bard... >.> Julius Caesar being the only one I'll willingly read of his. ^^v

Never read any of your list, minus Sawyer and Finn, but that was so long ago I don't recall them. Moby Dick is funny as hell with all the homoerotic symbolism going on, but otherwise it just sucks.

I love Shakespeare. Julius Caeser is my fav, but Midsummer, Hamlet...*_* so much fun, and I've always wanted to butcher them. I think of all the writers in the world, Shakespear would mind least. I like to imagine he'd laugh, if not exactly applaud.

Moby Dick will forever be associated in my brain with my friend Jessica. >.> We were playing Pictionary. She had to draw Moby Dick. .... >.> ..... she drew a whale with a penis. ^^;;;;

I probably wouldn't have minded Shakespeare so much if High School hadn't shoved him down our throats. x.x;; Midsummer always looked so pretty, but it wasn't one of the required ones, sadly. :/ And the majority of what I know about Hamlet is the "Double double toil & trouble, fire burn & cauldron bubble" line. ^^;; .... >.> .... or at least, I think that's Hamlet... *peers in her digital books folder to see...* Nope, no Bard. Sherlock Holmes, though... *.* Mmm...

*g* That's Macbeth.

You should read Midsummer, it's fun. I always liked R & J too, when the school wasn't shoving it down our throats ^^;

Ohyeah. >.> That man wrote too much. ^^;

x.x I liked the 60s movie adaptation of R&J. Otherwise I wasn't real fond of it. >.> .... come to think of it, I think I read Romeo when we had to read it aloud in English... I was Caesar too. ^^v

You ever notice that they never had us read Shakespeare's comedies in HS, just his tragedies? Cause you know, you're not emo enough as a teenager, let's just read books about princes who off themselves and kings who off other kings and chicks who go mad because they can't deal with reality. ^_^

Precisely. Tragedy is exactly what the young, emo, teenager needsd. I cannot recall a single happy book in high school. Mayber that's why I hate most tragedies.

XD Hence the fun?

*is so going to hell one of these days* At least Nemo's not jailbait when the tentacle pr0n is occuring? ^_^;; And you know, even squids have needs. And I'm going to stop there because the extent of my knowledge of the story is a really bad Disney flick from the sixties and Atlantis. Except Atlantis doesn't count because it just makes me think of Nemo not because it's actually related to Nemo...

Have I posted some of it before? I don't recall. If not, I'll post the first bit tonight.

*glomps back*

Speaking of stories, how does yours progress? I know there was one you wanted particularly to work on. Or I might be insane.

XD No, not that I know of. I just know it's the next story in Black Magic, and what's not to love about that? ^__^ *twirls you about*

They...go? Sort of. ^_^;; So far the opening is the best part. And it kind of goes down hill from there, but I'm attatched to the opening.

“Cupid’s Dating Service, you kill ‘em, we grill ‘em,” Puck rattled off into the phone as he inspected the end of his chewed pen. Three ninety-nine for a pack of two pens, and they never lasted longer than two days. Pen makers were so incredibly cheap.

Want to trade styles? I want to write something of the woobie h/c nature for a change. >_>;;

Seriously, I hope work lets up a bit for you. It sucks when the thing that pays the bills ends up usurping the life that you were trying to use it to fund. :/ And what does one do that suggests that one was a child rapist in a former life?

Date: 2006-09-13 01:01 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] maderr.livejournal.com

I shall posty then, for I am fond of my Alchemist (and an attention h0r...)

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I already <3 Puck. And, uh, I totally dig him on the pens >_>;; Those cheap ones are no good for chewing.

Sure! I'd like to write something hilarious for once, that'd be a kick. If I tried Cupid's Dating Service, it'd be something along the lines of:

"Cupid's Dating Service, here to help you find hearts to break," Jaime said morosely into the phone, far more interested in his email and the part that said I'd still like us to be friends.

Yours is far more entertaining.


Ahahah ^^;; that was actually a coworker's description, and it and it stuck with me enough to type out here. He was creepy, just sort of STARED and had no concept of personal space. Just...vibed wrong, if that makes any sense.

*tackle hearts you* You're my new hero. ^__________^

XD Aw! But now I want to know more about Jaime. Poor guy, working in a dating service while his love life is going down the crapper. He's kind of like the 'those who can't, teach' type at the moment. *pets him*

It makes perfect sense. I have SO many customers like that. They talk to you, and you feel like you're in a demented horror flick in which the bad guy is incredibly creepy, yet too stupid to figure out the basics of English, or you know, be able to read sales signs correctly...

...Do you want me to haunt you? o_O; Because the first thought in my head was "KICK THEIR BUTT AND SHOW THEM WHAT THEY'RE MISSING BY BEING HAPPY WITH TWO MEN."

...Sorry, threesome kick again.
