September of 2001
College.
What an annoying shrew it is. I am being overworked as I create this
archive page, and will just say that I am glad I enjoyed the last
summer as much as I did.

This
Weekend to Be Busy
21:57
It's been
a busy weekend so far. Hopefully, all I've accomplished today
will make the weekdays easier.

Next
Project Confirmed
14:10
Mweh hehehe.
Okay, after experimenting a bit, I've molded my idea for my
new project a bit. What I am writing now is a prologue. Sort
of. Hang on for it. College busy. In fact, I wonder how much
time I'll have this weekend to write.

Next
Project in Progress
14:22
After a
three-day break from fanfiction and responsibilities regarding
this website, I've begun writing my next project. It's not fully
planned, mind you, but it's an idea I'm interested enough in
to pursue. We'll see how this goes... And for those who don't
know, college is tough.

Epilogue
Posted, Finally
14:05
Okay, whew,
to say sorry for the lack of updates to this site, I've posted
the Epilogue to Fly
Me to the Moon. It's short, so I've also decided what my
next project will be like. Stay tuned, and enjoy.

School
Has Begun
18:47
Again,
sorry for the lack of updates. School has begun today, and I
have been busy walking nearly nonstop from one end of the campus
to the other over and over again in order to add and drop classes
in between attending classes, and getting information about
studying abroad (come on, Tokyo University, Hongo campus!).
Thins are pretty hectic right now, and it might be Saturday
until I can settle down and finish trying to arrange myself,
for now. CSE is one tough cookie of a major, and I'm hoping
I can not only handle it, but that it will be worth the trouble.
Pray for me, please.

Lack
of Confidence, Delays
17:05
Sigh, sorry,
everyone, but after reading over the draft I had of the epilogue,
I'm not very confident about it all of a sudden. Even if I've
already gone this far out of my original plans with Fly
Me to the Moon, I still feel obligated to make at least
an attempt to stick with my own thoughts. More news later.

Some
Distractions, but We're Okay
20:56
I got a
copy of Max Payne less than 24 hours ago, and have beaten it
and uninstalled it. I guess people are right -- the game is
too short and lacks replay value. But I am not left wanting
more, really. I feel the game is complete. At any rate, I have
finished a draft of the epilogue I've been working on. It's
short, even shorter than originally expected. This is because
of all the ideas I had,, half were written, then half were kept.
I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it this way, but expect it
soon.

Moving...
17:31
I'm almost
done moving in. I'm just missing a few odds and ends, like a
lightbulb for my desk lamp, things like that. I've also got
some business to take care of, but after that I should be back
on track. Hopefully, in two days, I'll be set. And hopefully
after that, I'll be feeling more sure of myself, referring to
my major and classes.

Some
Writing Done, Sleep Now
21:58
Some writing
done for the epilogue, but not much, since some of it had already
been written beforehand. I am sleeping early tonight, since
I have to drive eleven hours to San Diego tomorrow (I was going
to fly). What a way to start school, huh? I hope that by the
end of the welcome week, things will be looking up. I'll try
to update as soon as I'm settled into the room before I go to
bed tomorrow evening.
Epilogue
for Fly Me to the Moon?
15:42
Okay, I
lied -- my next project might not be a one shot idea I had in
mind after all. I might instead end up writing an epilogue to
Fly Me to the Moon. But it will be
a short work, if it goes according to plan, so that one shot
might be done after all. Furthermore, I'd updated my section of the site so that
my e-mail address can be found there now.

Tore
My Leg Again
18:20
The will
to improve and regain as much ability as I could in wushu these
past months before I leave has resulted in me pulling various
parts of my right leg in the last two months. Today, as I was
doing more aerials in the back yard, all of them came back and
screamed at me. I was so shocked in midair that as I slashed
with my sword, I added to the injury by slicing my left index
finger, but at least it's not as deep as my first cut. Yep,
basically, I'm sitting on the chair so that just the back of
my arse touches the chair. My mind is hanging as it hurts while
I walk, while I lie down, and while I do nothing. But I've been
thinking about my plans for what to do next for this site. I
think I'll probably write a one shot. More news tomorrow, the
day before I head to college. What a way to go.

To Be
Exclusive, Or Not to Be
20:43
Just debating
whether or not I want to post Chapter
Seven on other boards or mailing lists while I fix up little
parts of the site (man, this thing still has inconsistencies
in it, can you believe it?). But happy day -- I can now perform
an aerial leap (you know, where you cartwheel without hands).
Not only that, but I did it so many times that I can use the
straight sword with it, too. Oh, baby, I'm becoming so conceited,
hehe.
Final
Chapter Posted
14:39
I've decided
that those who frequent this site deserve to read Chapter
Seven before anyone else does. So it's been posted now,
and Fly Me to the Moon is now part
of the section. Taking a breath,
and closing my eyes.
Final
Chapter of Fly Me to the Moon Complete
00:13
Yes, a
draft of the final chapter of my Fly
Me to the Moon project has been completed. I will post it
by Friday. This marks the completion of many things, taking
into account writing in general, moving to college on Saturday,
and many other aspects of life, whether or not it deals with
fanfiction. To my audience, thanks for just being there. It
shan't be long, friends.

Terrorist
Incidents Spurring Attention Elsewhere
18:15
As everyone
knows, commercial airliners were hijacked today in a coordinated
strike against the United States, spurring some to declare that
we are at war with an enemy that has yet to be identified. This
is a very tender time in the course of history. I have spent
over half a dozen hours in front of the television (a new record)
today, and have not yet gotten any writing done. This talk about
war has done well to take my mind away from my interests. If
there's going to be a war, I'm signing up. In other words, I
am angry, like just about every other citizen of the United
States today.
Some
Little Updates
00:27
Er, yeah,
before I go to sleep, decided to make some small updates to
the
Links section, as well as the Statistics
section.
Writing
Done, Some Writing Left
00:16
Yes, yes,
the final chapter is being worked on, and is about halfway complete.
I will try to have it out by Friday, but I'm actually sleepy
now, and I must pack up for college tomorrow.

Not
in the Mood
21:54
Could anyone
tell that I'm not in the mood today? I'm diving into other realms
and ideas for now. I'm trying regain some of my basic art skills
-- in sketching, in piano playing, and in swordplay. For now,
these interests just ... seem to interest me much more than
writing does.

Chapter
Six is Complete
14:40
Yes, Chapter
Six has been completed ahead of schedule, as most have assumed
now. It raises my mood, as I'm about to go to the Clerk's Court
and tell them that their two weeks is up to reschedule my driving
school appointment, for a ticket I got three months ago. This
system is a complete crock, I tell you. Don't screw with the
American justice system, because working with it is as annoying
as being at the end of it.

A few bugs
in the site fixed, and some new links in the

Correction:
Substantial Unaimed Progress
02:47
It appears
that after combining the scenes I had already written for chapter
six months back with what I had written yesterday and today
(a run that went on for a total of around ten hours!) a draft
of chapter six has been completed. Not only that, but it is
easily the largest chapter written so far for Fly
Me to the Moon. Cool, huh? Looks like I'll be early with
that deadline for chapter six. Well, unless I'm just high on
milk tea right now. We'll see after I read it over once. And
over again. And again. And again and again and again...

Unaimed
Progress
22:02
I've decided
to write some more today. I've gotten a considerable amount
done, except that half of what I've created is for chapter seven
(the final chapter), leaving the other half for chapter six.
About. Give or take a scene. No set date for chapter six, as
always, but hopefully it'll be done within a week. Why the rush?
I'm off to college in two weeks, and I won't have the opportunity
to write that I have now, while I have considerably less responsibilities
to see through. So one more week for this chapter, and the one
after for the final chapter. If I choose to write an epilogue,
that will probably wait a day or two.

Not
in the Mood
15:02
As everyone
can probably tell, I'm far from being in the mood to write,
or to create anything for this community. I might be writing
right now, but I don't care about that at all right now. I'm
simply disgusted.
