Greetings!

Hello the fair few people who even visit this journal anymore.  My life has been a crazy place of paper writing and moving and emotional meltdowns, so I've just been trying to stay afloat.  I feel like there might be a, oh, 70% chance of me getting some fic posted next week, and if I say this aloud I'll feel obligated and might actually do it, O.o.

(I'm about 1/2 way through the next chapter of CotR, and, weirdly, I've been on a Sei/Youko kick lately - there's a reason for this.  I was like, hey, you know what would be an awesome way to try and remember some japanese?  Reading fanfic in japanese {with lots of help from Rikaichan}, and then I was like, hmm, why did I never post that random ramble about Youko hooking up with girls in college?  And then, I recalled, because it's shit.  So I was working on it.  Lord, actually, going back and checking, I've realized that I'm about half way through three or four chapters of things, and jeez, I need to pick one and finish it already!  Any suggestions?)

On another note, has anyone here been to Lisbon?  (Or for that matter Austin?)  What is one supposed to do in Lisbon?  (Or Austin?)  Good suggestions might help prevent another emotional meltdown!  (Because I kind of hate traveling.  if I can't get there on the train or in less than 6 hours on a bus, I don't want to go.  If I can pretend to myself that it will be super fun, I won't melt down until I'm actually going to leave.)

I shamelessly plunder your friends list for fic even while you're away so it's all good. Of course fic from you from any of your stories is a highlight. And CotR would probably be my choice if you asked... which you did.

Mari-mite..... I actually had to think a bit to remember who Youko was. (Sei is of course unforgettable) It's been so long since I watched an episode. Youko is kind of your "type" though isn't she? I can see her feeling confident about her girl trysts until she meets Sei at a party and is utterly destroyed by the force of nature.

Reading japanese=crazy-talk. Doesn't it usually take like 7 years for kanji or something? Maybe that's just writing. I know I could almost follow along with the cliche dialog after watching enough anime but the various character sets just make my eyes bleed.

As far as moving goes.... no input on Texas or Portugal but I get unsettled when I'm visiting someplace without trees or hills so... feel your pain somewhat.

Cheers!
