No, no tattoo...yet.

What is your Alter-Ego
Personality?

But if I had one, like I wouldn't tell my mom about it. She'd wanna see. ^__^

Hm, I like days with quizzes. Means I don't have to come up with a real post. Can't help it, I've been extremely lazy and low-energy lately. Nix can tell y'all how *scintillating* I was in my conversation last night. >_<

Oh, and I watched an unsubbed ep. of WK Gluhen last night--OOOooOOOOOOoooOOOooh, it is *interesting*. :D Very, very pretty. Though while I can kinda figure out what's going on, I'm desperate to see it subbed--I know I'm missing a lot of details on the plot. But the episodes aren't self-contained! *flails* There's a cliff-hanger in that first ep, and I gotta see what happens next! *flails* Not to mention the episode only had Aya (*PURRS*) and Omi (god, he's cute ^^) in it--and I *muchly* want to see Ken. But that opening credits--OMG! Bishounen and blood and black wings everywhere. *dies in a fangirl fit* Talk about engaging my wings fetish inna big way. Too bad they don't actually have those in the show. ^^ But I didn't know before night before last that Aya's got kickass long hair inna braid now! AAAAAAAAAA!! *flails in another fangirl fit* Oh, my hair fetish triggered *big* time. >D

*hanyaaaaaaans* Is very worth it to see that show--I just gotta find more. But I just have to say this: Yohji's new 'look' makes my eyes burn. He has beaten original-Omi in the Barney Rubble shirt as worst character outfit. XP The cowboy hats and bowler hats have *GOT* to go. XP XP

Meh, gotta go work. Don't have much to do, so I dunno what I'm gonna do with my day. *sighs* I hate feeling useless and extraneous like this. I'm counting down the time 'til when Ella Jane, our department chair, comes back on Monday so we can get going with our various side projects again. *sighs again* Weeeeeeeeeeeee.

It was occurring to me...

...recently when reading the CLAMP fiction board, Clampesque, and the submissions folks have been making for the 1999 word fic challenge, that something was kinda odd.

And that something is, a total and complete lack of humor.

Okay, so there's not been *that* many of the fics for the challenge, but still. Every damn single one of them is angst, dark-angst, angst-angst-angst, or at least are just very serious and somber in tone. No goofy stuff, no silly fics, no humor. Hell, not even any warm-fuzzy, upbeat, or even just kinda positive pieces.

And I know this is CLAMP, and specifically was a challenge for X fics, but still, at almost any other time people are writing happy/silly/WAFFy/syrupy/cheerful fics for that, why not for this challenge? Is it because everyone's in a funky mood at the moment? Is it because humor is harder to do, and if they want to put something up now, they go for the potentially easier road of serious/angst stories? Is it because it's hard to do happy or funny in a shorter piece like this? (Personally, I don't think this is it--I think it's just as easy to write a short humor or sap piece as a long one). I dunno. It's just rather perplexing. You'd think that with the number of fics people are writing for this, that odds would have *someone* doing a jocular or upbeat story.

I have to admit, I want to write a humorous piece for this, just to do something *different*, just to say to all of them "Hey! Look! We don't *ALL* have to jump on the angst bandwagon like a bunch of sheep!" It's like, come on folks, try to be unique once inna while. Or something. I think I'm just being snarky about it. But I do want to write something for it--I even have a tiny germ of an idea of sorts. Trouble is, it is true that a person has to be in the right mood to do a humorous piece. And, well, I'm not in that mood, and haven't been all week. And humor is something that can't be forced, or it's *bad*. :P But maybe I'll get in the right mood soonish, and can try to play with the idea a bit. We'll see. Even if everyone's forgotten about the challenge, it could still be done just for the hellofit.

But I do wish life wasn't getting so hellaciously busy for Kea. This would be the perfect time for an omake bit from her QueenedOut!Subaru and Jenn's Hentai!Fuuma. ^^

Hm. And I wish I could draw. For some reason I have the mental image of Snarky!Kamui making an Extremely Rude hand gesture to the CLAMP mangaka collective and saying "Foreordain *this*!" Heh.

This doth amuseth me. Eth. Er. ^^;

Yoinked from Jenn. :) ...wait, that sounded wrong. *flails*
