Argh!

It won't let me make spaces up here!

So now you get pointless text.

Ta da!

Random stuff going on right now in my life:

NaNoWriMo has begun! Once again the race is on to complete a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Can I do it? Well, I managed to pull it off last year, so cross your fingers and wish me luck!

My family is doing another garage sale this weekend. We've got a lot of Christmas deco going into this one. Man we have too much junk.

Also, for the first time ever, we're going to have Thanksgiving at my aunt's house instead of ours. My boyfriend is going with us too! Yay!

Now on to the stuff, you're actually interested in:

Retrieving Destiny is complete! (does happy dance) I'll be posting the edited version here, one chapter a week, until it's all up, then doing the same for the unedited version on AdultFanfiction and Mediaminer. For those of you who are old enough to read the unedited version (18 and over please) and want to read it faster, I've already posted the entire story on Little Dragon and will soon be posting it to my website.

My Moonlit Lover: Finally finished the re-editing and have nearly finished a brand new chapter. I'll be contacting the mods at Little Dragon soon to find out whether I can repost the chapters of if they'd prefer I just update my folder, then make an announcement to the group. But they will end up on Little Dragon one way or another.

Of Dragonballs and Duel Monsters: the Omakes have been re-edited and posted so they are current. Just finished with chapter 5 and am now moving on to chapter 6 which is the last of the old chapters.

Besides the times when my thoughts tend to split into my Yami and Hikari components, there is a complement of voices in my head(read: muses)at any given time. They are: Goku and Vegeta from Dragonball Z...
Goku: Ossu minna!
Vegeta: Hnn.
Friendly little guys ain't they? Then from Yu-Gi-Oh we have Yugi and Yami . . .
Yugi: Hello!
Yami: (nods politely)
. . . Ryou and Bakura . . .
Ryou: Hajimemashite
Bakura: (grins evilly)
Bakura where did you get those fangs! (shakes head) Never mind. And last but not least, Malik and Marik.
Malik: You're head's got an awfully big crowd of muses, Rose.
Marik: I could thin it out a bit. . .
(sighs) Marik, don't make me get out the net again.
Marik: . . . . . . . .
But wait, there's more! We've got a few new additions too! Seto and Jonouchi found their way in here and seem to be staying.
Seto: You have a lot of empty space in here.
(sniffs) You're so mean!
Jou: Aww, don't cry Rose-chan. We like having lots of room!
(pouts) Some muses you guys are. At least Sho and Judai are nice to me.
Judai: But they do have a po-
Sho: (still covering Judai's mouth) Aniki! That's not nice!
At least somebody loves me.
Yugi: Ano, Rose-chan? Do you know who that bike belongs to?
Aww crap. Not another one!

A word of advice: NEVER take ibuprofen when you've got Robitussin still running through your blood. The results are quite "interesting", to say the least. @_@
