OH GOD, I'M OLD

mugen_edamameYeah, right. It's not that I've hit triple digits or whatever, but a penchant for the dramatic has never hurt anyone
I've decided to do this annually; a post about anything that strikes my fancy on my birthday!
I swear, it isn't bias that makes me proclaim, loudly and with great gusto, that the months that make up the final quartet of the year are the prettiest of them all. There's just so much romance, and a sort of noble, resigned sadness at the way the year is almost, almost at her end, to them. Of course, there's also the hardly-repressed joy and fluttering excitement at a NEW beginning, one that starts in a few months.
Only that breathless exuberance removes the sheer cool factor from the rest of the year. Or, and this is a really rather large OR, I'm just plain biased. Don't mind it either way, I'm really nice.
An interview between me and kami-sama is coming up.
Just so you know, kami means "us" and sama could be seen to mean "together", if you add the correct prefixes, in my native language. Sweet, isn't it?
Bounty hooked in this year:
-Keane's latest album
-Damn cool-looking charm necklace (how absolutely lovely, is the word necklace? lace of the neck... I could hug the person who came up with this)
-Asuka, with really, really awesome KKM stickers and note pages
-The relentless badminton player from Gin Tama
-A black pencil case that's dead Goth, and therefore dead pretty, from my friend fish
-A puppy doll
-Mononoke. Because if you've seen how hot the medicine man is, you'd understand
-Phone stickers for my and Wolf's initials... I think I'm a wee bit transparent as to what fandom I'm in XD
That about covers it, along with several lovely wishes and a bit of art-ing from vi.
I love having a birthday!
Now, for something completely different:
Kami-sama: How've you been, littlest girl in the world?
Me : I'm a full inch taller than my friends, thanks most kindly. Lovely, kami, and you?
Kami-sama: Can't complain. Been ill plenty lately, but that's neither here nor there.
Me : Oh, aye. Sweetness, I did most terribly at my latest exams, but am still terrifyingly lazy. Would a prayer do any good?
Kami-sama: You should know better! Do try and study harder, there's a plant out there that feeds off your diligence
Me : I don't think so-
Kami-sama: Who's got the longer name, huh?
Me : Actually, if I used my full name, you'd be outclassed
Kami-sama: *furiously thinking* Who's omnipotent then?
Me : Neither of us, actually. You already told me being omnipotent gave you a headache, and you swapped that power for-
Kami-sama: *flaps arms* That's enough! That's enough!
Me : -for a tutor to drill an education into you.
Kami-sama: Thanks. It's not like us kamis needed anything as frail as credibility, or anything
Me : Sarcasm doesn't flatter you, sweetheart. Heard about NaNo?
Kami-sama: *nods* Yeah. With your schedule I doubt you'd get there in time
Me : Hah! After bothering so many people asking for info, I'd have to be one hell of a heartless bastard to stop
Kami-sama: Didn't say you would, yu. Just actually touch textbooks once in a while, is all I ask
Me : Yeah, yeah. You know I'll try. I did screw up the university interview, though. Has me bloody depressed
Kami-sama: No saying bloody unless you have an actual wound. And there's only so much you could've done. Don't mope. It's not becoming
Me : *snort* Oh, the wisdom! The brilliance!
Kami-sama: Whoever said you're good at sarcasm lied, yu. Now shut up, and go do something productive
We're really close, she and I. Anyways, after this, I'll be going at the writing, then at my homework, then sleep. I've got a head cold that's persisted for a week, and my throat hurts like a truly tortured toad. The above dialogue made next to no sense, but it made me feel better to have recorded it, anyways.
I really wish I was a harder working student. I'm starting to be a little bit sad.
Here's a little mood-lightener. I write loads of these:
Yuuri thought he wasn't one for fashion; that no matter what he wore, he'd be too unconcerned to be mortified.
Then Wolfram had found the old photos of Shibuya Shouma in full disco gear, complete with bad fluffy hair and ridiculously wide bell bottoms. And the platforms that made the man tower over Jennifer back then.
Murata had already introduced the blond to the concept of cosplaying, and when Wolfram had insisted he dress up in a similar garb as a personal gift to his fiancé, Yuuri couldn't say no.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror now, he wished the disco era never existed.
Nor should cameras have come into existence.
Nor Great Sages with big mouths.
Nor fiances too beguiling for his own good.
Damn Murata for teaching Wolfram to boogie to "Saturday Night Fever".
And damn Wolfram for being able to look like Ms/Mr Universe with flared pants and flowers in his hair.
(Jerk It Out, the Caesars)
Yeah, I'm not big on making sense
Happy November first!
