Main Article - I WETUWN FWOM DA GWAAAAAAAAVE!
----------------------------------------------

Lesse...as of today it has been five months exactly since my last journal entry. To this, I say...

WHY OH WHY DO I FORSAKE YOU PEOPLE SO?!?

Really, I'm sorry I've been so inactive. I'm probably the least anticipated of all your watched deviants, to those of you actually reading this. ...actually, what, there's like five or six people still watch me, right? Sheesh...That settles it, I need a gimmick.

I suppose now I should break down into the sections I always do and go over random swag, topics of concern or interest, and what I've been up to these past few months. Enjoy!

Hellish Summer, Fiendish Fall
-----------------------------

I'd love to tell you all that my summer was sunshine and happiness, but alas, events in the week following my last journal entry were the reason why I haven't posted much. You see...

My cat died.

Pathetic, right? Well get this. He was a kitten still. Not even a year old. A SIAMESE F%^KING KITTEN! You'd have felt bad too! But losing him wasn't the only thing that was horrid about it; it was how it came about happening. One night, my cat wanted outside for a little bit. Late as it was, I was retarded and let him out. Then, he wanted back in, or so I thought. I opened the door, but he got all ADHD about a bug that came onto the porch and ran off again. I figured he'd come in when he was ready.

Next thing I know, upon going downstairs, I hear animals fighting right outside, banging against the garage. One of the animals was a cat. The other? I wasn't even sure. I opened that garage door as fast as I could...well, the thing is, I didn't want to break it. I was an idiot. If I had acted faster, I would have caught the bastard thing attacking my cat. Instead, I got out there just in time to be a distance away from chasing after the creature that ran off with my defenseless little buddy into the woods.

For the next few days we searched. For weeks we put posters up. We never found him. And the guilt was killing me. If I had acted a little faster, if I had not let him out that late, he'd still be right next to me today inspiring new chapters of Ni Shourai like he did before just by rubbing against my leg and being cute.

My folks are saying it's not my fault. I don't buy it. My slow actions and foolish judgment caused the death of my friend. I don't think this is something I can get over even now.

My writing was hurt by this, and it's why I've been so inactive. I'm doing better now, but the truth? I don't think I'll ever get over this.

Regardless, onward to the rest of my summer.

I spent my summer playing World of Warcraft for the most part. It became an obsession at this point, more so than before. Maybe I was trying to escape the sucktitude of what I did. Anyway, I have a number of friends on that game. Rather, I did, but some of them turned out to be jackasses using me for personal gain. This upset me, since I had considered them to be real friends. My experience on that game had been ruined since then because of that.

As for work? I have been working awkward, unstable hours for the past few weeks. I like more hours, but having to work every other day and still adding up to JUST 14 is not going to get me into college.

I've recently been hit by the urge to write again. It took a long while, but I think I have my legs back now.

And that's what all happened in a nutshell.

Naruto - Times Have Changed
----------------------------

Some call it pitiful and poorly written. Some call it an insult to the fans that follow it. Some call it the greatest fandom trolling of all time. Whatever the name for it, I call it BRILLIANT, A MASTERPIECE, and A REALISTIC GRASP OF ROMANCE! That's right, the NaruSaku ship has taken a torpedo to the hull and is taking on water! Fans are abandoning ship, some are going down with it, and some less sane ones refuse to believe it's sinking even though their cabins are filled to the brim with water.

Granted, the ship hasn't sunk yet. But as a practical NaruHina fan who took bashing from the irrational hatred harbored by the SS NaruSaku, I'm wondering what this big red button that says "SINK ENEMY SHIP" will do if I press it...

Manga's been grand, Madara revealed his plan to turn the moon into the Death Star of PewX2!!! Despite how silly it sounded, I think it's a neat idea.

Damned be those who said the anime would never pick up. Ha! The Pain VS Jiraiya fight was EXCELLENTLY done IMHO. Not every day you see action like that while eating your breakfast cereal.

Also, the Mizukage with that lava release jutsu? DIDN'T I TELL YOU ALL KISHIMOTO IS PROBIN' MAH BRAIN!?! D: That jutsu was the style I made for the Akaseitoka clan! ;_; Ah well, can't have em all I guess.

Love to talk with you all more on this, but I have to sleep soon, so MOVING ALONG...

NaNoWriMyAss
--------------

Been ignoring this event for about three years now since I heard of it, but NOT this time! That's right, folks...or rather, that's WRITE. I'm taking part in NaNoWriMo! If you don't know what that is; Google it! I'm too lazy/tired to post a link!

I'll be submitting a parable formatted series of short stories based on events behind my book series Apsu Sagas. The title is in progress, but I'm tempted to settle on "Eyes of the Sky Axle".

Here's a brief summary I made while tired.

"Eyes of the Sky Axle" follows the tale of the God of Nihon's (that's NAI-HOON btw, I can't find the accent marks I needed) mountain lands named Anshar, who traverses the world in order to see if the world is safe enough for his people to emerge from hiding. The story is filled with short tales of his endeavors in his mortal guise among the people of Retha, learning about their ways, and extending his wisdom to aid all who he can.


Maybe I will finish. Maybe I won't. But I'll sure as hell try! And I'll be sure to post what I get onto this account.

More to Come
-------------

Next time I do a journal, I won't do it at 1 AM. I'm tired now, and must sleep, but I will continue to update you all soon as I can. For now, I have a brain to rest!

Don't you folks stop being sexy now, ya hear?
