Beyond Redemption

Hey Lovelies! ^_____^

Yeah, been MIA for a little minute and thought I’d do an update. First off, the writing hasn’t been happening. I admit that I haven’t felt like it. I’ve been in a funk since before Kau’s birthday and I haven’t been able to do much. Sorry about that, as I know you guys have been reviewing faithfully (well, a good bit of you), and I hate letting y’all down. But I just haven’t had it in me and there’s no point in hiding it. But that’s not to say that it won’t gear back up. Sometimes it takes me a little longer than others to get over something, but I do get over it and get my shit together eventually.

To everyone who thinks I was in the dumps because of negative feedback on If I Want To, I need to clear that up. No one has ever given me any negative feedback on that story whatsoever. You oughta know that when it comes to that kinda thing my skin is thick after 6 years of bullshit from lame bitches. No, I was upset for an entirely different reason, but still connected to the story. So, get that idea out of your heads.

Speaking of, it seems to be winning the latest poll. But I kinda knew it would. WAH, do y’all hate my yaoi?! LOL. Kidding -I know my core audience isn’t into boylove. I am, though, and been reading it like a fish in water all week! I’m totally digging Ootsuki Miu’s stuff. Deliciously smutty. <3 Anyway, I do plan to seriously start writing either tonight or tomorrow. I'm messing with KeiChanz's giftie that I'm MEGA late on, and If I Want To (that may come out first). I also plan on working with The Neighbor. I didn’t mean to allow the hiatus on that to last this long (Sorry!). But it’s nowhere near dead, so no worries. Wonderfully evil Yasha will be back!

On the commission front, I got the latest one for If I Want To and it’s cute. I wouldn’t say it’s badass on the level of what I have ready for Money.Power.Respect., but it’s sweet and will probably be a skin. Let’s just say, it epitomizes a certain group. o.~

At this rate, I’ll have a pic for most of my fics (The chapter fics, that is).

And Kau sent me a gift box full of goodies! She lives in the south, so they have stuff that I don’t have here in NYC. Therefore, she sends me the GOOD SHIT! I have so much milk candy, pie, pralines, specially flavored granola, panda pocky, Louisiana sausage, red beans and rice, Ooey Gooey cakes -the works. BFFS ARE THE ULTIMATE AWESOME!

Of course, she’s also going crazy about this hurricane stuff. I’m not scared about it. I don’t know, maybe it’s because we really don’t get that sort of thing here, but I’m just not worried. I didn’t even feel the earth quake when it hit, lol. But I acknowledge that precautions should be taken (Happy, kau?! >.>). Is this the start of the hyped up 2012? I mean, earth quakes in Manhattan? Wut?

And my love of k-pop is growing more every day. I really enjoy their music (probably because it’s so heavily influenced by American R&B/African-American artists) and have been listening to it almost exclusively for the last 3-4 weeks. It still shocks me that so many who like j-pop won’t give k-pop a chance because they’re too stuck on Japan (<– that’s a legit response to a question I asked) or feel like some sort of loyalty will be broken if they do. o.O Dude, we listen to music with our ears, not our eyes. I don’t care who made it -if it sounds good, I’m going to keep on listening. I’ve honestly never heard of something as weird as denying a form of music based on the nationality of the ones who made it. I was always taught that music was universal, a “language” known and enjoyed by everyone, regardless. Sure, certain things don’t grab us -like how I dislike Jazz- but I dislike the form of music, not the people who make it, and that dislike isn’t based on color or nationality, but on the lousy beat. I like goth, industrial, alternative, rock, metal, k-pop, j-pop, salsa, dance, trance, hell, even some gospel. I like every-damn-thing and it has nothing to do with WHO created it. Seriously, is that the new form of discrimination? SMH And if you’re interested, I’ve got an all k-pop playlist going on at Absolution. Check them out -they’re really good. In fact, a bunch of Korean artists will be doing a free concert on 10/9/11 on NYC’s Randall’s Island. I’ll probably attend; I wanna see TVXQ and SHINee, who are also on my playlist. 😛 Anyway, a new skin will appear, regardless of what I update (Yeah, they’re piling up, so I gotta start showing them off!), and hopefully I’ll have something for y’all over the weekend. If you’re on the East Coast, stay safe!
