Another day in a long string of days.

First proper meal I've had since Thursday, dinner today. Being able to ignore a growling, grumbling stomach is a practical skill in the short-term, and slightly detrimental in the long-term. But I'm not usually so lax on nutrition; it's been a fever-ridden week.

Went for a meeting organised for fanfiction writers in the area. Only one other person showed up, and I was very surprised to see that it was a boy. It was completely unexpected, because statistics would say that he'd be a she. Never mind though, he was pretty nice, and we had a pleasant chat.

(During which I was mildly chided for living an unadventurous and anti-social life, ahahahaha.)

(Oh, the nervous laughter. I think I spent an equal amount of time speaking and nervously laughing. I cannot stop it, not with will alone).

Walked back from the city center; it's about 40 minutes worth of brisk walking, and taking in some fresh air has been awesome. Except for the slight case of sniffles it has saddled me with. But that's hardly a life or death situation, so I'm just sitting with a roll of tissues next to me.

Bought Milo and rice and grapes. The grapes, because mum said I look a bit peaky and off-colour and my skin looked distinctly unhealthy, and fruits should make their way into my diet post-haste. I like grapes and melons and peaches. Soft things, mostly, and loathe apples and bananas. So, grapes, yum. Was supposed to by vitamins because mum is also convinced (probably rightly) that I'm malnourished.

To those who know how much such things cost, in a Chinese grocery store, a durian cut into quarters was sold at about £10 per quarter. PER QUARTER. I nearly popped a blood vessel.

Currently? Listening to my iTunes as I try to psych myself up to get some homework done. Happily, I have the encouraging support of a custard tart I've been saving for such an occasion (^_-)-☆

Received a reply from Gentleman Head Gardener-san. Am planning an appointment to meet and discuss what my volunteering will entail at the botanical garden. A friend said he would lend me a spare bike he has, and if I can get it, I wouldn't need to take the bus to get there. Which would be bloody spectacular, because not only would I be saving teh monay, I get to ride a bicycle.

I love riding bicycles :D

And, A1: The Road Musical. Pfffffffffff.

ah so cute. also i want to have your freedom! :O

Out of curiosity: what is the longest time you've managed to go without a proper meal? I think my record is a week and a half. xD

Also, meeting for fanfiction writers?! Wish we had stuff like that around here.

Lastly, unnecessary fact about me #1: i can't ride a bycicle. No idea how. xDDDD

I have an undying dislike towards bycicles. I find them incredibly tiresome.

And! You need to freaking eat more!

They're one of my all-time favourite modes of transportation. I'm thinking hot-air-ballooning would top the list, so I'll get back to you when I've tried that~

And I will, I will, just being pretty ill this past week had made me loathe to move, much less cook >_

I prefer walking. lol, hot-air-ballooning. XDD It would probably be pretty awesome, but I think I'd be scared to death so I dunno if I'd enjoy it very much.

I see. D: Good that you're feeling better (?) then.

I'm thinking it was probably the first month I was here, before I'd gotten my rice cooker. I'm pretty sure I didn't eat anything outside what was provided, and I know I missed a few meals even then. So, uh, roughly a month? XD

It's pretty cool, I've been to a few. It's still new, though, so turn-out's not been so good~

In return, unnecessary fact about me nu. 1: Took me years to learn to ride a bike. Had something wrong with my ears that messed with my balance. Now I love cycling to bits <3 It's worth learning, if you ask me

I'm not too bad with heights, but anything could happen. I seriously intend to go hot-air-ballooning at least once, though. It just seems bloody delightful :D

I am, but God only knows how long it'll be before I fall ill again. My health oscillates between good and bad faster than I think is healthy XD

It's helpful that just about everything I need is under an hour's walk from where I'm staying. But why do you lack freedom?

I get dizzy and scared from looking up at a tall tree. xD So... I think it's out of the question. I'm fine when I have something pretty solid under my feet or around me, like a plane, and I don't think the small basket or whatever in a hot-air-balloon qualifies.

As you've stated before. xD It's like that for my half brother too. My health can be a bit wonky sometimes too. And sometimes I feel a little bit sick pretty much constantly. Could just be the autumn/winter season, though...

I have a streak of recklessness that flares suddenly once in a while; buoyed by a balloon seems the sort of thing that would appeal to it XD I kinda get what you mean about something solid to stand on, but this is a hard-headed sense of morbid curiousity~

I hope it doesn't go too wonky too often. And yeah, whatever it is that's wrong with me, I really doubt the changing of the seasons is helping any D:

I'm actually quite cowardly. XDD I'm very hesitant towards trying new things. Especially if they seem even a little bit dangerous. Always have, probably always will be. Sometimes it's worse than other times, though, for some reason lol. Every now and then I get suddenly adventurous.

Changing of seasons never help. :< Damn seasons.

I'm occasionally seemingly bipolar. Sometimes I'm too chicken to try anything even remotely unsafe, and sometimes my mum has to shout at me to stop being daft as all hell. What do you usually do during these moments of rare adventurousness?

): But at least Spring is promising to be seriously pretty!

Go eat something! With fruits and veggies!

On the other hand, that is a ridiculous price for just a quarter of that stuff!

Hope all goes well and that you get your bike, because riding bikes is the best--unless it rained the day before and the seat soaks your jeans so that you look like you pissed yourself. T_T

Oh... They're not really that adventurous. I'm really deeply down a chickenshit. Sometimes I just get the sudden braveness to climb a tree. That's about as far as my adventurousness goes.

But I guess trying out roller-coasters sort of go there too, because I always go hesitate for ages and ages before doing that. (Even if I've only tried out like... four. Two very small ones and two real ones, lol.)

I love spring!

Climbing trees is pretty hardcore! I mostly just climb the roof of my house if I'm feeling giddy with adrenaline.

Roller-coasters don't really scare me. When I was a big chunk younger I would have to be dragged to try anything, but now it's all mostly fine. But this might be because the rides I've been to are pretty tame. Maybe. (I've tried two big ones and two small, very lulzy ones XD)

I'm starting to love it too, seeing the flowers bloom!

XD I had dinner today, and I'm chomping on grapes as I'm typing~

It was hilarious. I'd be a lot more horrified if I was a fan of the thing.

... Oh dear. I think I'll do what I see others do, wrapping the seat with plastic before they leave it. But yay, another cycling fan! Where do you usually cycle to?

LOL! Hardcore, you say? I think climbing roofs is more hardcore. Though they're a bit more stable, aren't they?

They scare the fuck out of me. But somehow, I still love them. XDD The rides I go to are normally pretty tame, but there are a few pretty hardcore ones. There's still this one in the amusement park we usually go to that I'm too scared to try (even if I've actually tried quite a few hardcore ones. That one just really makes me shit bricks from seeing run).

Yes yes~~ Especially when snow has been covering the ground for ages and then there are FLOWERS! The world gets colour again! 8DD

The roof is WAY more secure than hardcore trees! Trees! That are hardcore! It's super fun, though~

lols. I really want to try a hardcore one. I want to feel like I'm flyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Which ties into the whole hot-air-ballooning. Flying is AWESOME. XD Give it a shot, man, you'll be proud of yourself afterwards. Saying "shit bricks" amuses me no end.

The flowers are so very, very pretty! There's colour everywhere, whites and purples and yellows, oh, god <3

:DDDD now i am curious as to where you're staying looks like.

and it's not that i lack freedom >> or actually, that's a different story entirely. orz too much to get into.

XDDD I bet it is~

But it's so scary! I have one that's plenty good enough for the feeling of flying that's a lot of fun, and the one that scares me is pretty much a bigger, more hardcore version of that ride. And it's plenty enough if you ask me, argh.

Yes! Especially the yellow. Spring flowers are very yellow here. And blue and a bit of white, mhm~ And a little purple. Heh~ Colours~

I kinda totally want to see how hardcore this hardcore ride is. Damn. Now I really want to run out to the nearest roller-coaster, get on it, rip off my overcoat and shout "Hoooooooooooorses! Hooooooooooooorses!". Bigger more hardcore version, FTW!

The white ones in particular are really, really delicate looking. Like a series of gentle white bells along the stalks. *spazzes geekily at thought of flowers*

If you promise (cross your heart hope to die) you're not a serial-killer intent on murdering people you meet over the internet, I can show you videos~ But I've not made one that starts from where I stay till the city center, though.

And ah. Sorry. I didn't mean to invoke the despair of orz-man D:

~~man, if that were the case, i'd be some serial-killer who writes pretty decent fiction :O~~ VIDEOS YAYZ

hahacute. orzman.

My jailbait voice may arouse the paedophilic tendencies within. Resist them with all your heart!

~~And totally excuse shitty camera angles and shitty narration and general shittiness~~

orz

oh good god blessed be. your accent. I'M AFRAID TO SAY THAT I. MAY BE A LITTLE. JEALOUS. /refrains from resisting!

~~orz~~ OTL

Speaking of durian, I want to throw it at somoene >_

Good. Moar grapes is good. Are they the green kind or the red kind? Or are they the kind with the seeds?

It's also funny that people will pay that price, too. And it won't be very good, either. :/

I usually bike to class. It gets me there nice and quick! ^^ It has saved my ass from failing several times already (wake up, realize my test is starting NOW, and hightail it out of there, bike at high speeds, and get there in time to do the test, which lasts the first ten minutes of class).

Here's the bigger more hardcore ride. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii184/Looping_Starship/VrLisebergsresa29-30april-08072.jpg

This is the one I ride. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii184/Looping_Starship/VrLisebergsresa29-30april-08052.jpg

LOL! I think people would look at you VERY oddly! XDDD (Lavi could do this! *Gets ideas*)

XDDD Oh yes, indeed~ White flowers are so prettiful.

... I bloody love how the hardcore one is so hardcore it looks like it's only supported by string. My god, Ossi, if I were there, I may well be shitting bricks too. D:

And even your 'tamer' one looks scary as almighty hell. The big ones I went to back home look like kiddy versions!

Being looked at funny is what I do? XD And yes, Lavi would do that. Please take idea and RUN WITH EEEEEEET

Seedless red kind. I'm going through the pack pretty swiftly XD

It looked unhealthy. The flesh is supposed be a healthy yellow, but this one was milky and pale D:

I can imagine. Many mornings I wake up late I wish I had a bike so that I wouldn't need to take the bus to get to class on time. But wow, it's good that it's saved your butt from failing tests!

... probably not this one. You'd go broke buying it D:

And awww, kesian pan-chan! *hug*

;_; I'm totally flattered you like it, but it's not really enviable. Locals have a hard time understanding what I'm saying sometimes.

OTL

Inorite? It's so scary to look at! Pretty mighty. Not to mention it stands on this cliff of the small mountain there (it's Liseberg btw <3), so it's even FURTHER to the ground than if it was just on ground level. Scary!

XDD It's fun as hell! First time I tried it I was trembling, smiling like an idiot and unable to stop laughing when it was finished. It was an amazing feeling. And I'm sure the hardcore one would have the same effect, if I dared trying!

lol! High-five for that! (I guess. People look at me funny every now and then too.) *Hi5* xD I SHALL! *Scurries off to put it on my to-write list*

Uh, just please don't throw it at me.... I hate the smell and I even hate the fruit itself >_>

Btw, me love peach :D ~~and Milo, too~~

... I may well only ride that after I've written my will. ON A CLIFF. It's like they thought, hey, here's a contraption that looks like it'll merrily fling people to their deaths, what can we do to make it ever more terrifying? I'M ON A CLIFF. (Liseberg ftw! I just checked the amusement park website)

If I ever go there, I'll give both a try. Yeah. If you do try it, like, I totally want to know what it's like.

I support this mild insanity! Though how epic is your must-write list? Because mine is epic. So epic, I may never get around to finishing it.... >_<

I'm not a big fan of it, but I don't really mind them. It's just so synonymous with home that I can't hate it XD

I just finished my box of grapes D:

Oooh.... I'll send you more if sending a box of grapes from Indonesia to UK doesn't cost much >_> LOL

BTW.... about my request on KandaxDevit fic dat we discussed yesterday... could me make it like a parody or something from KKM? Cuz I feel like reading a really hilarious fic~ and about the YuuRam one... take your time and do your best cuz I miss ur YuuRam A LOT

Oh, me is online on msn btw~

Yeah! XDD But I guess they were running out of space, and it happened to fit there. It makes it all the more frightening and fun, I'm guessing. (I know! I love it so much. Balder is brilliant. <3)

Do that~~ lol, I highly doubt I'll ever get to it. XDD

It's pretty epic. It has a few very awesome kinkmeme requests. Like...

"Lavi/Kanda

...Mud wrestling..."

and

"anon! I want you to give me.... Cross' first time.

[moar info here]"

There are also lines such as.

"How would you like your eggs this morning?" "Unfertilized, thank you"

"I laugh at your piano." "Your piano!"

And this...

Kanda and Alma as teenagers. AU.

And some dialogues that I have to include somewhere one day...

And this is an idea I'm quite proud of.

When the pillars of Lenalee's world come crashing down, Lavi takes it upon himself to teach her how to stand on her own, Bookman duties be damned.

Sorry for the spam. XDD

I'm going to toughen up, maybe start climbing buildings or something in preparation for terrifying rides :D

Though maybe I should try out a hot-air-balloon first, because I want to do that before I DIE D:

Oh wow, Cross' first time is simultaneously magnificent and terrifying. I can't imagine who the chick would be! The line about eggs makes me feel bad for laughing XD

Kanda and Alma as teenagers sounds like it'll be totally awesome *u*

Interesting idea is interesting... You're much better than me for writing other pairings, ossi, I can't really imagine writing Kanda or Lavi with anyone else *sparkly eyes*

For me, it's mostly Environmentally Friendly, a few kink requests, that ten-people drabble-meme I haven't completed yet, some stuff I want to get done for the fest, and the last chapter for a story in an old fandom. I suspect I'm biting off way more than I can chew...

And you don't have to apologise for spam. Spam is what we do :D

Good plan! :D

Do it~

Inorite? I had to put it on there. The eggs one was randomly written by someone on Skype. I was like "kjgfpodsjiogd I have to include that in a fic SOMEHOW!" and they were like "We will love you forever if you do!" xD

lol, it's not really a pairing one, per se. I don't ship them, and I don't think it'd happen, really (but what do I know where that story will go?). It's mostly because Lavi cares about Lenalee, and the idea hit me one day and I couldn't just ignore it.

Heh, you're not the only one. Sometimes I look at this list and just go "will all of this ever get done? D:" I've begun a kink request that I posted there too, and I really should continue that... But I have so much else I have to write I keep postponing it. >.

XD Fic requests are piling up so much like snow in a snowstorm. The Yuuri and Wolfram one will be of primary importance, and the KandaxDevit one may or may not materialise, depending on how occupied and inspired I am... I am only one very, very silly writer d:

Okies~ dun worry about it :)

But durian here is not too expensive. If it's the right season, that is.

*hugs*

Nope, not at you mah dear.
I don't like the smell in its actual form, but I don't mind if it's in a candy or bread form XD

Just beat up whoever is annoying you! Beating people up is the ultimate answer to life's problems!

Beating people up is the ultimate answer to life's problems
Isn't that a matter of life, my dear?

I might have a sadistic tendency, seeing that I enjoy beating people into a pulp.

Meh. I approve of doing most things that make my own life more pleasant, even if it involves beating people up.
