Wow, I just had the best sleep I've had in a while. For the past week or so I've been waking up every few hours, but this time I slept straight through the night. THE NIGHT! As in I didn't do the vampire thing I usually do. I have seen the sun and it is bright! I wonder if I'll catch fire when I go out.

In addition to the last RP I mentioned, I also joined Angel Grove, a pan-fandom RP set in the Power Rangers universe, post-Zordon. I grabbed up Chloe Sullivan, because it's so hard to find an RP without her. I also have Kira Ford, who I love. She's a little reminiscent of Kimberly from the first few seasons, which I guess is the reason for the fanon of them being related, but she's still very much her own character. She's anything but a valley girl, except for this one time with a meteor rock (ZING!), but I think they have the same kind of spirit.

Anyway, if there's a character you like who seems to be always taken, think about joining Angel Grove. Yes, I know, Power Rangers, but I doubt it's going to be at all like the shows.

I've found that I really like roleplaying and writing Lana. Yes, I know, "Lanaughgrrbarf," but I really do. And everybody has told me how much they like my Lana. Actually, they like my interpretation of all my characters. I think other than the comments about Lana, the best compliment I've had is how much they like my Clark, and "it's so hard to find a good one!"

Anyway, speaking of Lana, I have some writing to work on. Comment at will.

Well, isn't that just how I like my peas: frozen into large clumps of greeness.

Yes, ignore my random beef with my veggies, pun totally intended.

I really wish I was better in the illustration department. I have this nifty idea for an original story, one that I would only do for fun and wouldn't try to sell. The only thing is it involves anthropomorphic animals, also known as bipedal animals or furries, so pictures of actors and actresses don't do it for graphics. I got the idea months ago after watching Chicken Little. In fact, I'm watching it again now, trying to get a handle on what I'd orginally invisioned. Anyway, I think I've come up with the character would would be at the center, but I'm trying to think of what kind of look a site could have without me being able to draw something of relation. It stumps me.

I deleted all my fanfiction challege communities on LJ, with the exception of the ones I mod. I'm not doing that on IJ because I have very little problems from IJers. I question if I should finish The Reefside Diaries. I probably will, because there are a few people interested, but I'll probably only post it under flock.

Blah blah, yap yap, dribble dribble dribble. Goodnight.

So I mentioned circulartime @ LJ  had inspired me to start working on a totally original story, so I have been. Most of the elements I had figured out a long time ago, but some have changed. For instance, I roleplay a lot with ferretgirl_1124 @ LJ  a lot and one of her characters (Alex) begged me not to have my character (Nendyé) involved romantically. Yes, I said the character begged me. We're weird like that. Alex and Nen are kind of...married with children. Yeah, only in roleplay world, but Alex was like "Asdfjkl;&@!" so I tweeked the story. Anway, here's a graphic that gives a preview. It's large, so be warned.

circulartime @ LJ has been writing this amazing original story called Guardian and I decided since the fanficing hasn't been going well for me I might try to actually work with the ideas I have for originals. Thing is I, like her, like to have some visual representation. She has Kristin Kreuk and Jared Padalecki...and I got nothin'.

( Help please? )

All these ideas for stories, and yet, I have no real inspiration. I blame Clayfrakes, the clay monster of my dreams, played by Jonathan Frakes. Therefore, Clayfrakes. I will eventually turn him into a meteor freak, whenever I get past the block. Maybe I should try something totally different, like some icons. I was meaning to make some more Chlooge and Lanapedia icons a few episodes ago, but I apparently forgot about them and the ideas I had about them. So I guess I'll have to suffer through some bad Smallville to get some good ideas. After I have enough, I might offer them up to the Two of Us Chlark forum.

Or I might write poetry. I haven't done that in a while.

Nightmare on the Kent Farm made sv_ledger.

You guys have no idea how happy this makes me, especially since I didn't personally recommend it to them. Getting a little essay or a giant list of ships listed there is as easy as writing a horrible Smallville episode pie, but an actual story...

Breathe, must remember to breathe...

In case you're wondering about my subject line: Charmed. Season 1, Disk 3. The Wendigo.

I weighed again today, and that darn thing said 213 lbs. I guess because I haven't done as well by my sodium intake the last couple of days. So all that water weight, back on. Dang it. *slaps own hand* Bad me, bad!

The good news is I've been writing more. Yay?

Speaking of which, my quest to create the ultimate list of het Smallville ships have made me decide to add a few to my own personal ship list.

Look guys, I'm now tagging along after Special Projects!Chloe: I'm going to start listening to instrumental stuff while I'm writing. While I don't think there's anything from Braveheart on the classical station of Yahoo! Music's LAUNCHcast, I think it'll be good enough for now. Unless I can find something better that's also free. And while I'm on the subject of writing, the next chapter of The Reefside Diaries is done and I will be posting shortly. Not that many people care. For one, it's a Power Rangers crossover, and for another, nearly everyone hates Lana Lang. This I can understand, but still, it'd be nice if someone was interested.

I went grocery shopping a few hours ago to find that all the low sodium V8 had been cleaned out. Rats. I love that stuff. I'll have to see if they have any when I actually run out. I did get some more of the awesome Ocean Spray Cranberry & Pomegranate Juice that is so good. It's like dessert in a cup. (Yes, I know it still has sugars. Shut up, Pat Robertson!) If only I knew how to turn it into one, a frozen one. That would be so awesome. I also go plenty of frozen (and fresh!) veggies, and some fruit too. Of course there is still those salt-laden Hot Pockets and Banquet dinners we always get, but I'm trying to stay away from those as much as possible. Small steps. I did get this Zatarain's meal (Blackened Chicken Alfredo with Fire Roasted Vegetables), which has almost half the day's sodium, but it's just a little treat. For the rest of the day I'll be good. Cucumbers!

All hail Jisobel! (Kidding, but you know? It's fun to say.)

Okay, so I need to get myself my own laptop. I've been using my brother's, and boy what a difference it makes. I hate Windows Vista, but I love being able to take this to whatever room I need. For some reason, sitting at that one desk just drains all the creativity right out of me. Yesterday I actually got some writing done, which his hard to do at that dumb desk. Maybe now that I can focus I'll actually be able to finish all the writing tables I've accumulated.

I'm starting to feel must better since I started eating healthier, even though I haven't made that many changes. My headaches are getting less frequent, among other things. Did I mention in addition to watching my sodium intake alltogether, I've also been reading labels and avoiding MSG? I'm shocked at how many products have that stuff in it. There's a lot of Campbell's soup just sitting around because I refuse to eat it. If anybody I know nags because I'm "wasting food", I'll just have to explain to them that the food in question is not fit to be consumed.

To be honest, I don't have a lot to say about the new episode of Smallville, except that it was wonderful to see Pete. I tell ya...I dream about guys like that. I want me a Pete Ross. And after seeing the interaction between him and Chloe, I should really add that to my long list of pairings I like.

( Okay, so I lied a little, without meaning to. I'm saying more. )

Now that the spoilers are out of the way, just a mention that I changed my icons and layout. Nothing too interesting, except this is the first time in a while that I don't have a Chloe icon in the mix. Five of them are fandom related (Phoebe [Charmed], Lex/Lana [Smallville], Beast Boy/Terra [Teen Titans], Conner/Kira [Power Rangers Dino Thunder] and Angel [Angel: The Series]). The other is spiritual. I really like it and I'm glad I made it, however long ago that was.

Now, to actually get some writing done.
