So I know you're all totally wondering, WHO IS THIS? WELL! On the internets, I am mostly known as Lyn. I've been on LJ for a while, but I could never find the time or muster any effort to post on it. BUT FEAR NOT! I shall post now. Even if I still have no idea how LJ works. Gah. I'm an avid fanfic reader/writer, so beware. My LJ shall soon be filled (hopefully) with random drabbles that come to me (if they ever do) along with rants and real life. The three R's. haha So yep. If you want to friend me, feel free! I love meeting new people!

I'm most obsessed with Naruto at the moment, but I also love D.Gray-man, Hikaru no Go, Nabari no Ou, Pandora Hearts, Loveless, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, YuGiOh :D , xxxHolic, FFVII, 07 Ghost, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist, and much more! These are the main ones, but I guess you could say I'm a bit of an otaku.

Musicwise, I love 12012. They are my favorite band. I also love Gackt, Marie Digby, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Tokio Hotel. Definitely more, but. Meh. Too lazy to think them all up. But if you like any of these artists (or have a weird love of musicals like me), you're already a friend! <3

because roar he is vicious


His favorite squeaky carrot. It has a face, but the face has long since been torn to shreds.
( picspam under here :D you know you want to look!  )

name: Meeko
breed: Pomeranian, but don't be fooled by his sleepy pics. This guy is so energetic and always ready to attack.
age: about a year and three months now
tricks: sit, down, roll over, high five, stay, and play dead (also known as bang since we pretend to shoot him with our finger gun lols and say bang and he keels over and dies) and he JUMPS UP TO KISS YOU RIGHT ON THE LIPS UGH SISTER, WHY DID YOU TEACH HIM THIS. 
potty trained? YES. Except for the fact that he's too scared to pee/poo on his peepee pad or the newspaper now because sometimes he misses and we get mad so he'll hold it for an insane amount of time until we walk him. He gets three to four walks a day. What a lucky dog.

underhandycat0 made me do this because she wanted to see. hahaha I also did it because I MISS HIM AND HE'S CUTE BUT DON'T FORGET. ROAR. HE WILL ROAR AT YOU WITH HIS LION MANE AND FLOOFY BODY.

OMFSHIZZ I AM SCREWED. You know when you pass that point from haha how funny to haha oh crap I shouldn't have spent all that time laughing instead of writing because haha OOPS O_O yeah sarah, I'm talking to you.

The winter exchange fics are due tomorrow, and whoo, mine is so not ready yet. Having said that, I have two essays due tomorrow, one in anthro (oh god, I hate this class so much why the hell is it required for psych majors because honestly, this is stupid, we don't need to know about evolution, that's what we have bio for) and one in English, and I haven't started those yet either (and oh look, I'm on LJ). I was planning on doing them this weekend to give myself time to work on my exchange fic and knowing me, I totally would have done them, right? lulz, but oh no, I must have done something horrible for life to come bite me in the ass like it did this weekend.

My dog has fleas. We gave him a bath on Saturday, found two fleas, and my housemate promptly freaked the hell out. She is afraid to death of those creepy little bugs, which haven't even bit anyone or anything yet, and so I spent basically the whole weekend cleaning. I vacuumed and did all the laundry for the longest time (our sheets, our blankets, and zomg we have so many), and she is still afraid because what if she brings a flea or flea egg back home to her own dog, right? And this is all my fault because I was stupid enough to bring my own dog here just because I miss the little guy. Needless to say, I had a friend bring him back to San Francisco, and I still miss him. ;_; So major guilt plus major cleaning and major work to do = UNPRODUCTIVE UGH. I think I'm pulling an all nighter since I have to get up at 7 in the morning anyway for 7 straight hours of class wtf I thought this was over in high school.

UGH.

How is everyone else doing?

I haven't posted anything in a while, but it's not because I'm super busy or anything. I'M JUST LAZY :X so I'm sorry about that. BUT HERE'S MY EXCUSE.

( TWO WEEKS AGO, I HAD MY WISDOM TEETH REMOVED, AND IT WAS HORRIBLE. OMG LET ME TELL YOU.  )




AAAAnd last week, it was my birthday! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES! I HAD 19 CUPCAKES (BUT I ATE ONE) FROM MY LOVELY FRIEND QA. OH QA. THANK YOU. ( IT WAS PRETTY CHILL, YOU GUYS. FOR A BIRTHDAY.  )

AND NOW HERE I AM, STILL UNABLE TO EAT MUCH (I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S INFECTED AND THERE'S FOOD STUCK IN THERE) BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW WHAT WAS UP WITH ME.


( LAST CUT I SWEAR, BUT OMFG I JUST NEED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS  )

AND HERE'S A QUESTION THAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO ANSWER. F-LIST, EVEN IF YOU DON'T READ THIS WHOLE ENTRY (I DON'T EXPECT ANYONE TO), AT LEAST ANSWER THIS QUESTION. I NEED TO KNOW.

Do you press the shift key with your left or right pinky (assuming you use your pinky)? I just permanently have the caps lock on, but when I do press shift, I USE MY LEFT PINKY AND OTHER PEOPLE USE THEIR RIGHT AND BEING LEFT/RIGHT HANDED DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THIS AT ALL AND I AM SO CONFUSED AND CURIOUS AND JUST NEED TO KNOW PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

This is obviously why I don't go trick or treating anymore >:| 

Happy Halloween!

SO. It's been a while! School is about to start soon, and moving things into the new house is hectic. It's lame that they kick us out of the dormitory after the first year. OH WELL. I'm semi-excited except for the fact that because of all the budget cuts and California being basically stupid about its school funding, I don't have the classes I need yet. Waitlisting is a bum.

Since the sn exchange is over now, I will finally post the links here! Just for future reference. I'm way too lazy to actually post the whole story here, so a link is good enough, right? :D After all, they did such a good job with categorizing everything.

Title: Nine Spiral
Rating: R
Summary: AU Naruto goes back to his roots, but things in Konoha have changed since he’s been gone. Then again, so has he. Gang!fic.
Warnings: Mansex! Language!
A/N: For rosalui, who requested gangs and such, though her kills mine dead so much omgah. D: haha Okay, it was actually a different title, but oh well. That's what I get for sending multiple versions to the mods. I'd written and rewritten this so many times. Bashing myself over the head with it. Procrastination kills. And um, well, let’s ignore the part where I don’t really give the gangs any names because it’s all mysterious and ambiguous like that, kay? Or…you could just accept that I’m horrible at non-cliché names. But I hope you all enjoy it! 

Naruto hummed in response, making a mental note to watch out for that one and avoid him at all costs. Of course, Naruto’s resolutions always did have a tendency to come back and bite him in the ass. Every day following his resolution to steer clear of the slash-happy man, he would catch a glimpse of pale skin, long, dark hair, a cold sneer, or fiery black eyes just as they turned a corner.


Title: A River in Egypt
Rating: R
Summary: AU The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Sasuke Uchiha doesn’t have a problem, and if he did, it definitely wouldn’t have anything to do with Naruto Uzumaki. Highschool!fic
Warnings: Boysex! Language! Awkward teenage boys.
A/N: And when I say awkward, I really mean awkward. For oceansex , who requested awkward first times. To which I responded with (hopefully humorous) teenage boys going at it. And I'm sure the title makes sense, really. ^^ I had a ton of fun writing this one, but that's probably just because it was late at night, and I was going insane. Procrastination strikes again! Please excuse the verb tense changes. T__T Catching errors is lame after you've already submitted the thing.

Sasuke blushes uncontrollably at that, reddening further when he feels Naruto’s hands move, winding around his waist in a tight hold. Sasuke’s own hands feel like dead weight, so he reaches up to encircle Naruto’s neck, running a hand through the soft, blond tresses. He vaguely thinks that he was wrong, that Naruto’s hair doesn’t feel like sunshine; it’s better.


I still haven't gotten around to reading everyone's yet, but from what I've read so far, it's good! I swear I'll get through them all! SORRY IN ADVANCE FOR ANYONE WHO GETS THEIR F-LIST SPAMMED. D: 

And without further ado: stuff about me.

( zomg a meme )

</span></div>

Hopefully it won't take me a month to post again. haha Poor, neglected journal.

Basically, a friend called me, and it went a little like this. 

me: what do you want? 

friend: you won't believe who I just saw.

me: who? 

friend: guess!

me: you know too many people, so screw that. So tell me.

friend: Stephanie L.

me: ....bye.

Aaaaand the conversation pretty much ended there. Why? 

FLASHBACK.

So my friend Melissa and I were walking down the hallways of our school, holding hands. Don't ask me why. I still do this now. Holding hands is fun, thank you very much. Laced fingers and everything ;] haha. People would do a double take every now and then, but this was a daily occurrence. In other words, they got used to it. Anyway, school's over, we're walking to her boyfriend's locker, when all of a sudden, someone roughly pushes themselves between us, forcing our hands to break apart. Uh, what the hell? Rude much?

It was none other than Stephanie, of course. We stood there with what I assume was a 'what the fukc do you think you're doing?' kind of a face before she tried to laugh it off. And her exact words were, "Ew, sorry, but that just creeped me out. Girls can't hold other girls' hands! It's not right!" 

Sorry, but what kind of world was she living in? Actually, no, what sort of city did she think she was in? So I asked her, rhetorically, of course, "You do know we're in San Francisco, right?" Having lived here for at least 17 years, I assumed she would have gotten used to little things like hand holding (like the nice kids in the hallway!) by now. I wonder how she copes with the Pride festival >:] but anyway.

"Yea, but that doesn't mean I want to--or have to look at that!" And she walks away. Needless to say, I grabbed Melissa's hand again without a second thought.

I made a point to talk about any and every homosexual thing I could think of around her after that. It was very entertaining seeing her scrunch up her face in irritation. So there. Every once in a while, she tried preaching the bible to me, oh my god, and that was hilarious. I'm Catholic and in AP English where we analyzed the bible, you idiot. You think I don't know it by now? 

It was pretty naive of me to think that since we lived in such a diverse city, homophobia wouldn't be such a problem. Not in San Francisco, at any rate. I guess just because I don't see it very often, it doesn't mean it's not there. Whatever.

URGH NEGATIVITY GO AWAY.

In other news, I made creampuffs last night. Or tried. They deflated, so they're no longer puffs, and the cream is sort of custard-y, but...creampuffs. I'm making a new batch right now. We'll see how they turned out. I'm just determined to do it right. Gawd I 'm tired of all this baking.

Hope everyone's doing well and enjoying their summer! It's been sunny for the first time since June today. I'm not sure whether I'm happy or not yet. Sunny doesn't necessarily mean warm, by the way.

Well. Um. Okay. I've been busy, but really, that's no excuse. You know what IS a good excuse? Blaming blueutopiah and osoimaru and sekahyyh for being good at fic and the stupid recommendations and the YYH love. Because it's so distracting. I'm still not done going over their fics. BUT GAH THE SASUNARU FIC EXCHANGE IS GOING TO BE DUE THIS TUESDAY, AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING DONE. Well. That's not true. I have about a page. But for a 3500 word fic, uh...that's not enough.I know what I'm going to write, which is great, but I just have to get down and do it. I have work and then SCHOOL [holy crap, first day of summer school], and I'm supposed to go shopping with a friend who's going to leave the city soon. Am I really going to pull an all nighter writing fic? That'd be a first. 

Slacking off is what I do best, after all. >:| 

BUT ANYWAY. I FEEL LIKE I DESERVE A PAT ON THE BACK FOR FINISHING MY FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE. Because I was in church [bleh], and I realized, hey! It's been a year since I graduated! A WHOLE YEAR. Which makes me think about how many years I've been into all these fandoms. NOSTALGIAAA? So here's a pic of my graduation last June. Les sigh. I lost that balloon before I even got home.



And I spent a lot of time watching movies. Um. I liked UP. It was adorable. Slightly Asian fat kids in Pixar movies are just so awesome.

OFF TO BED SO I CAN WAKE UP FOR WORK TOMORROOOOW. Those kids are getting a midterm. I HOPE THEY DO WELL. I don't like grading tests only to get 95% F's. Hey! Maybe I can write on the bus! Unless I die of bussickness first. D: 

PEACE OUT HOME DOGS.

procrastination is a terminal disease. Really. It is. Because I stayed up until 3 in the morning, attempting to start my research paper, to no avail. So I went to bed. Woke up. Did NOTHING until now. And am STILL DOING NOTHING. This freakin' research paper is due at 9:55 PM tonight, so hopefully, it goes well. BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. Rawr to the extreme.

So I've been doing everything humanly possible to not start this essay. I finished reading a whole shoujo manga last night/this morning, just for kicks. I've been on facebook more times in the past couple of hours than I can count. I read fanfic. :X I searched youtube, watching random videos over and over again. I go get food to eat from the dining commons. I go return the refridgerator, which took a good 5 minutes. I watch PARIS HILTON'S MY NEW BFF [OH, THE HORROR], and I take a lot of time to eat said food. GAH. I read the new chapter of Naruto (which was like, O_O WHAT). THEN THEN THEN. I POST ON LJ. It takes skill to NOT DO WORK like this. Seriously. Okay. So. Um.

That took a good 10 minutes to write. I think. Hmm. JKLFJAKLFJALJFDLFISADFJAKLFAJ FINALS WEEK PLEASE DON'T KILL MEEEEEEE. I want to write write write fic so baaaaaaaad. After finals, I shall be pooped out. I shall MAKE TIME to do it. After finals. GO GO POWER RANGERS! 

I got suckered into registering for all these sweepstakes and instant win games. It's so disappointing when it says, "sorry, better luck next time." BOO .___. I is sad. But on the bright side, I got a lot of shizz over with last week. Two midterms, one short story (which is going to be workshopped on Tuesday cry cry), and blah blah blah. So I basically crashed after all that stress, and I'm having fun this weekend doing nothing. Which will come back and bite me in the butt later, but I'm not worried about that at the moment.

In other news, PANDORA HEARTS. I am reccing yet another thing. This manga is soooo good. I mean, I was just in it for the cute art, but whoa with the story and the plot and the sheer mindfukcery of it all. Seriously. It just pulls you in. I didn't expect it to be a good series at all. But wow. There are bits that seem like a distorted Alice in Wonderland, except that it's a boy as the main character. And it's so dark. And creepy. BUT FUNNY. So funny. And bishounen? :D heck yea. Pretty shounen series for the win. I adore it so much. So I'm caught up with the scanlated series so far (which, disappointingly, hasn't gotten very far), so I'm watching the anime. Or. Starting. haha I hate watching anime though, preferring to speed read the manga. But it's Pandora Hearts. Full of so much love. <3 So I say, READ IT. REAAAAAD IT. And if you don't want to read it, WATCH IT. 



Meanwhile, I shall write write write to my heart's content because I am going to be slaughtered on Tuesday's workshop. Might as well write before I feel so self conscious that I can't do it anymore. D: 

Oh, and I shall lament over not being able to go to any 12012 lives because they're freakin' in Japan. Roar I want tour goods. 

So I have two midterms at the end of the week, one for my Research Methods in Psychology Class (which is complete bull, by the way), and one for my statistics class. Gah. This is why I'm an English major in the first place. But on the day of my psych midterm, I have my short story due. The one that everyone's going to workshop. The one that everyone's going to read, critique, and just about skewer to death. I understand, since I'm a pretty harsh critic in the first place, but noooo. I don't want to. Let me write fic in peace please. Please. How am I going to study with that hanging over my head? D: 

I need to work harder. Only one month-ish left of school. But but but. The heat is going to kill me first. I can't stand the heat. Make it go away. Give me ideas for a short story. I want to write a couple if I don't die first and pick the best. So. Anything. Help. HELP.

More music news. I've discovered Bat for Lashes! I heard a couple of songs, and I kind of like it. Kind of creepy, eclectic, and strange. But in a good way, I think.

Other news (I think I rec too many things lol). Full Metal Alchemist the manga is <3. I feel so utterly hopeless and helpless with the situation they're in right now since it seems like there's no way they'll get out of this all alive, but there are chapters like these (chapter 95) that just make me smile. And feel like maybe there's hope after all. Because that was just inspirational. I shall try harder now. Because Armstrong. You = <3 + LOL les sigh.

LET'S GET CRACKING.

So um. Like the title says. Totally not what I had intended to write this weekend. I was set on Naruto, but out came Hikaru no Go. sorry sarah D: haha welps. It's something. A short little piece that might be extended. Not sure yet, though.

( Hikago fic :O  )

Okay, maybe not so much cookies. But it fit. And whoa, I have lots to talk about. Milk (movie), Marie Digby (music), etc. :D 

( movies, music, fic itch  )

So, since I'm trying to make this a regular thing, I shall post more! Because getting an A for effort is what I'm all about! RIGHT? That plus I finished the majority of my homework so that I could spend today relaxing and reading fic. Because TBiTP ENDED. I cry. Really. I miss it already. I do this a lot with any sort of literature that I like. When it ends, I want to know so badly what happens that I go go go and then when it's over and done with, I'm like NOO WHY DID I READ THAT? I SHOULD HAVE SAVED IT FOR SOME OTHER TIME IN THE FUTURE! Which makes no sense whatsoever, right? But that's how I feel. Like. No. I've just lost a friend. So be happy, Sarah. Made me feel like that again. D: 

( Read on to find out how fandom has taken over my brain D:  )

So I promised underhandycat0  that I would post in this journal. Come on, it's technically still the weekend...for ME. haha She's probably the only one reading this, anyway, but if anyone else is...nah. I'm not even going to go there. No one else is reading this. If I keep telling myself that, maybe I'll write more? 

Anyway, hun, I'm sorry I haven't posted here or displayed any ficcage that you want to see so much. The guilt. The guilt! BUT BUT BUT In some freakishly rare good news, I updated a story on Saturday! Then it made me so guilty because I haven't updated that for...nearly three years, it seems. OUCH.
( And more stuff that I want to talk about but you don't need to read lol )
