After a lot of thought, I've decided to consolidate my LJ accounts, and will be moving everything from Lyric Nonsense over to a closed community lyric_nonsense, which will be maintained by my more frequently used LJ name lyrangalia. Feel free to friend me over there (I'll be slowly friending everyone from this account onto that one, but it'll take some time).

So yes, I'm moving out, but hopefully I'll still see everyone there. *wave*

I'm going to lock everything to private here once I've sent it over to the new place. I would just turn this into a community, but I don't want to lose all the wonderful comments. Call me sentimental.

Just in case anyone was wondering, I'm still alive. The writing has slowed to a glacial crawl, between wrapping up my research lab work, graduating, and beginning the job hunt, but now that things have settled down some (still unemployed), hopefully I will be able to get more done on Winry's Div.

I need to catch up on all the fandom things I've missed as well (short list: BSG eps, FMA chapters, and fic from all my fandoms). Anyone want to point me to ones I definitely need to check out?

Oh yeah, and I'm sort of addicted to Code Geass now. >_<

Just like nebroadwe and evil_little_dog, I feel the need to point out that the UFO Awards are open for voting. Yes, Scars and Consequences got nominated, and that pleases me on so many levels because it is one of my personal favorites. But, what's even more exciting is that I'm up against evil_little_dog and artemisrae, two people whose work I just love to death.

So, the gist of it is: go vote your heart at the UFO Awards. Go go go.

:-)

Yup, same one as evil_little_dog. I was woken up by it, sat up, looked outside, noted the time, thought "hm, earthquake," and went back to sleep.

I'm not quite sure how I managed to note that it was an earthquake so quickly given it's the first one I've ever experienced, but whatever.

Don't worry, I'm not going to inflict any more ill thought out Christmas stories on you (though if you're in the mood, may I suggest The Holly and the Ivy?)

But I was decorating gingerbread, and this came out of it:

Due to real life, Nano is falling by the wayside this year. I'm going to keep writing original fiction this month, but I know I'm not going to make word count, and that's okay. I want to write a good story. And now, a meme.

Ganked from evil_little_dog, who did it like a year ago but just showed me today.

Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friend-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character "letter" from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!

1) Radical Edward (Cowboy Bebop)
2) Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
3) Hiro Nakamura (Heroes)
4) Howl/Howell Jenkins (Howl's Moving Castle)
5) Fox Mulder (The X-Files)
6) Ranfan (Fullmetal Alchemist)
7) Tom Paris (Star Trek: Voyager)
8) Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
9) Jonathan Strange (Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell)
10) Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop)
11) Karl C. Agathon (Battlestar Galactica)
12) Eomer son of Eomund (Lord of the Rings)

Until then, my Halloween haul, ganked from cornerofmadness
