DAD'S HERE!!!!! My Dad is in the US of A and here visited little old me here in MS. Yay! Happy happy happy dance! i gets to hang out with the most awesomest dad in the world!
Been super busy. Work all day, class till 8:30 only enough time to read in the evening and a couple of free nights to hang out with what few friends are still in town. :( If this is being grown up, it is both great and sucky. Great in that I can drive myself around and do stuff. Sucky in that most of my friends are always busy, out of state or otherwise preoccupied.
I have not completed a single story, for which I am abjectly regretful, but I am working on it. I will not post anything else until what I have up is finished. That means what I have up on other sites as well. So it will be awhile in terms of story writing. I need to cultivate some discipline if I am to start writing professionally.
Became a fan of Vin Diesel on Facebook and have to say, if it's really him, kudos on making the page a tad more personal. To all the nattering little critters that only comment on his pics to say how hot he is and how awesome this or that movie was, in all offensiveness, puh-lease. Johnny Depp's page is a testament to business-like. no info, no nadaz except the next movie and some admittedly drool-worthy pics. Shall do my drooling in private however, excuse me while I mop up after m'self.
The ickle bruvver is finally here!!!! Dad was taking him to school to get him settled in. Looking forward to jabbering the poor twit's ear off every night. I missed the overprotective lug. Hope y'all are doing ok, sorry to everyone whose birthday I missed. Still alive and kicking here.
Will be ba-ack!

 My apologies, this is quite late and incomplete. I seem to be making a habit of that. Anyhow, here's the first bi of the story.

PINK DRAGON

“What do you mean, you don’t know where it went?” Coby snarled at the hapless servant. “How do you lose track of a human size chunk of rose quartz!” The poor man broke down into tears in the face of a sorcerer’s wrath. Coby dragged a hand down his face in a grimace of sheer aggravation. He had one week to the Rose Queen’s annual Coronation ball, coincidentally the date of his annual offering to the vain bint to keep her off his back about practicing in the capital. “Go back to your duties.”He dismissed the blubbering wreck. A pity he couldn’t afford to turn yet another batch of incompetents into toads. He would never get work done if that happened. Perhaps constructs? He sighed. He would have to hunt down the quartz himself.  It was too late to look for something else and there was no way he was dipping into his personal things to look for a gift for her.

            Elly purred as he coiled tighter around the glowing hunk of Earth’s heart. It was so shiny! He hadn’t been able to resist when he’d seen it on a random flight over the nearby mountain. It matched his eyes perfectly and would make a wonderful centerpiece for his hoard. In rose silk perhaps, on a bed of opals. So pretty! Elly liked pretty things. With the low rumbling of his purr vibrating the cavern, Elly dozed off in the patch of sunlight that gleamed down.

            Coby blinked once. Then again, but the image in the scrying mirror did not change. A pink dragon was coiled around his quartz. Pink! He’d never heard of a pink dragon before. A slow smile curved his lips. Finally, something Interesting.

            Elly chirped happily as he moved things about the cavern to make things just right for his new pretty.  He shoved that chest of random pretty stones there, the carefully put together display of shiny feathers went in the corner, and the other chest of Earth’s Blood went there, more shiny stuff in the pile over there and finally the tall pedestal for the new shiny. Now the silk had to be draped just so, and the opals simply had to catch the light from that angle. And so it went on. So involved was he in his new redecoration that the laughter from the door startled him into squeaking with fright and taking cover behind the pedestal.

            Coby couldn’t contain his laughter at the sight of the dragon bustling around the well lit cavern, fussing with its things in a very particular manner that reminded him of his thankfully distant sisters. The sound startled the rather small dragon into a girlish squeak as it dove behind the pedestal if had been arranging. A sunrise hued nose followed by a single rose tinted eye peered from around the corner when a sufficient time had passed. He would have sworn the dragon blushed when it saw him. All that did was set him off laughing again.

            Elly saw red. The human was mocking him! “What are you laughing at?” he growled in what he thought was a perfectly respectable dragonish style. The human looked again and kept laughing. Elly sighed, This was why he had left his colony and hidden here where hardly anyone went. It was a little difficult to be menacing when you were rather small and every-hue-of-the-sunrise pink. His lip trembled as he realized the human was probably after his newest pretty. He smelled the same as the place he had gotten it from. He sneezed suddenly, then whirled. The human also smelled of very strong magic.  

I have been completely lazy for, oh, say the last eight months. No serious writing, little effort outside of searching for fanfics or things referenced to in fanfics. We have just moved to a new house, eeriely in designer style, and my aunt is going anal retentive in keeping it looking interesting. No books in the room. I'm going to kill something.
I am actually trying to get together a bunch of things, trying being the operative word. I need to get things in order for the next couple of weeks. Gah. Work. School. No more sleep. Waaah.

This sucks. I think my boss reported that I was reading too much fanfiction. I am now banned from FP and FFn. A pity. But seriously, calling hestiaA1's stuff sexual material? Improperly categorized! now, wolf-shinigami's stuff, ja.
Hehehe. Back to playing VBA for me, I suppose. I might actually be able to finish three video games by the end of the week playing at 1098% speed! ^_^
(*mutter* still want my fanfiction...)

in dull and dry language...

From the ECDC:

 

-         As of 9 June, 2009, there are a total of 104,632 confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus. This includes 470 deaths.

-         Within those 24 hours, there were 3918 new cases reported, with three new countries reporting the presence of the H1N1 virus.

-         The Ministries of Health and public health officials of 43 countries met in Cancun on July 1-3 to evaluate the pandemic influenza A(H1N1)v situation and exchange information and experiences on the international response generated after the emergence of the new virus.

-         Presentations of this conference are available from the following link: http://www.encuentroh1n1.org/index.php?ln=sp&ident=ponencias .

-         The World Health Organization published a clinical patient care checklist, intended for hospital staff treating patients with suspected influenza infection. The checklist addresses both clinical management of individual patients and infection control measures.

-         More details are available from: http://www.who.int/patientsafety/activities/ah1n1_checklist/en/index.html.

 

 

So, people, I will try to be posting an update everyday on the situation with the H1N1 virus. Its part of my job here so, I figure someone else has to be finding this kinda interesting. For the sake of LJ folks, I will also post a link to the daily report posted by the ECDC when I do this. (And add any reports on Norteamericanos.)

Enjoy! Or not. Or whatever. *mumbles* too freakin cold in this freakin office* Perks up! I need a virus icon! Off to hunt for one.

( H1N1 UPDATE... )

SO I have been swamped with staying ontop of my fanfic reading, class and work. (in order of importance LOL)

A late fic accompaniment thingy for aggybird (thought I promised one? Could be hallucinating)

The Things I Love About You

Accompanying the Bridge Troll story…

 

I love the way your skin slides against mine,

Rough and smooth like silk and sand.

I love the way your eyes look by moonlight,

Like mirrors to the soul within.

I love the way you kiss, the way you taste,

Like salt, and distant sea, sharp and real.

I love the way you laugh,

Like the breakers against the cliffs.

I love the pattern of scales down your back,

Connecting them to make you moan.

But most of all, I love you for you,

And all your fishy, sea swept ways.

Happy birthday, oh keeper of tales,

And queen of the monsterslash crew,

I most humbly present my offering,

And of the same, hope you get more than a few.

 

Much thanks for many lulz,

And the warnings of tears (and spitting of drinks too)

Happy birthday to you,

You awesome person you!!!!

No, it's not a story update. I am a tad busy doing nothing in particular. So, this is a general hi just so that stupid line at teh top of my login page doesn't bug me as much ...And I'm bored.
So, I am currently sitting in the compulab at school minding  my own business (playing Pokemon) when some random person comes in and starts to blast me for sitting with my legs up on the table.
what do I care? No one else is in the lab, no one uses the section I am at and my shoes are on a piece of scrap paper. Quel
dommage?

And that concludes my contribution to the day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

linen  

I’ll confess to seldom understanding

A lot of what I know about you,

I owe you my intro to bishies

And the joys of the internetz too.

 

While I don’t show it nearly as often,

As I should, and you know it’s true,

My life has been all the richer,

And better for knowing you.

 

 

Happy Birthday Ashke!!

 

And here’s a Dir En Grey Pic for you….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
conjure_lass !!!!

As a distant acquaintance,

And one of minor importance,

I can only wish the best

And hope you will be blest,

By the vision of bishies galore!

Happy Birthday, and Joyeuse Anniversaire to you!

So, I have been lost in teh realm of fanfiction for the last couple of months.

( Cut for babbling ) More on planning and updates tomorrow or tonight!

Ooh, and pictures from the ads in paris. i forgot those.

This is the nice long post in which I tell y'all about my Christmas Hols. Not. I've never been diligent enough to sit down for long rambles like that and that is not likely to change any time soon.

in short, I went home to Nairobi for Christmas, thought I spent a week in Kigali, and got all my Visa stuff settled. Did a ton of dishes for oodles of guests, got in trouble, go tout of trouble, met my friends, got stood up by some others and had a blast!

Oooh! And I got my first kiss too. That was pretty damn momentous lemme tell you. Finally, I can quit fretting over that particular thing on my list of thins I gotta do this year. LOL.

My favoritest minion and I were reunited this holiday and I am anxiously awaiting message from him. Silly thing was trying to hook me up with sum1. LOL. I scare nice guys. It's just a gift.

 
Pics will come as soon as I recharge my phone and camera.

(and there was an interesting couple of story ideas too!)

This looked interesting. apparently, I go rawr. ^________^

Happy birthday eudeaa !!!

So 2metaldog   had this up the other day/night/whatever time on her journal and it looked pretty nifty. I quite literally got one Christmas present in my entire childhood (a really soft towel with a tropical sunset on it) and I always sekkritly longed for the Christmases I read about in stories. (Not that the ones I had couldn't give competition on the food front). So, here's the deal;

Ok, andra_sashner , you win. i'll try, honest.

So, I'm not exactly officially doing NaNo, I do believe its a bit late to register anyways. What I intend to do, however, is an anthology. Buncha stories from the Compass Kingdom I've been setting up with the dryad stories and the not so ebil mages and the flying horsies and the always half naked desert warriors. Then I'm going to tell you how they are all connected....Not. I'll just have about 5 stories from each region of Compass and then one more story that features a cameo appearance by all the main chars from the five stories before. Therefore, I wilst proudly present.......umm, I sorta don't really have a working title, just using Seasons of Compass for now.

Hmm, so everyone's a tad pissy understatement *cough* about the election and the reasons behind Obama's win. F-list has multiple rants for and against the poor gerbil. I hope he has a decent life expectancy, for his own and his family's sake, but as a non-American, aside from his policies about alien immigrants, I quite frankly couldn't give a flying fuck about this election.
Yes, self centred, yes, deliberately ignorant of the world around me, but in my little world, I am the freaking centre and my opinion is the only one that always matters to me. *Basks in the glow of egocentrism*
So, politics, schmolitics, thank God it's over, the mud-slinging had long ceased to be amusing.


So, all of you who were going to post smut and pretty boys and monsterlings (goblin, that would be you), pretty please wipe all political drivel from my brain before I actually get drawn into it....again!
