Lawd love me

I am bored and there is no one online!

1) Tania, sorry about last night. It was too late by the time I'd finished shopping. =_= I'm working Monday but not tomorrow (Saturday), although we're having a cousin over for dinner so I'll probably give into the temptation of eating at home - there will be good food and mulled wine and sparkling wine bought by me. ^^;

2) I am so bored I made a text translation of the new Viewfinder chapter. Ah, in retrospect I like insaneneko's "scorn and pity" line better, it has a ring to it. Nice that somebody can apparently read emotions into Asami's gaze, coulda fooled me. :P

3) I've been writing ficlets onna card the way they advise you to write exam papers: read through the questions and start at the beginning, but skip the ones that give you trouble. Thus they are being turned out approximately in the order I received the comments, with some exceptions. Now after serendip's TRC!Eriol fic I have four Bleach pieces to write in a row, which is why I've consciously allowed myself to dip into tiresome obsession mode. *g* Since the natural deadline is past I may as well take my time and do good work.

Last night I reread my Bleach tag-filter since April, when I caught up with serialisation. I realised I only ever make three types of Bleach-related posts:

a) commentary on latest plot developments
b) request fics
c) mockery of Byakuya

This can only mean one thing. :P

I second that. On my poll, someone said they want to play more guessing games, so I think there is possibly an audience for that.

Er... what is that thing? XD

I think there is but I don't trust myself to run them. XD Guessing games, parlor games and puzzles only frustrate me in real life, and online isn't any different.

Eh, the fact that I've only written requests and nothing of my own volition for Bleach combined with the fact that I seem to circle Byakuya like a sarcastic shark would indicate that I am bound to write something longwinded and Byakuya-centric eventually. :P And possibly snarky. (But not soon - I've thought up an interesting take on Gin/Rangiku for one of my requests and that is currently occupying my mind. XD)

Yeah, but running them means that you don't get frustrated. I know what you mean, though. I lack the attention span necessary to play puzzle-like games like go and chess. I like watching people do puzzles, but if there's only me, well, it's less fun.

Well, I'll be looking forward to it, if you do get around to it. XD
