Beyond Redemption

It’s mah birfday!!!

I received really wonderful gifties from my friends, which I’ll show/share with you guys later on, and lots of birthday wishes, so huge thanks to those people who took a moment to remember a Grrrl. You’re the bestest! 

In lieu of cake, I really wanted a giant waffle cone filled with vanilla and rocky road and I’m eating it now! WAH! So good! (Yes, I’m like a kid with cone!)

I’m also finishing the next update. I’m not leaving off where I originally wanted to, but I do want it posted today, so I’m going to get this last scene finished, edited, and posted in the next couple of hours. This chapter was heading into the 5k direction, anyway, so it really was time to stop since I want to keep chapters a certain size. I’m pretty much over going above 5k anymore, with the goal being somewhere between 3k and 4k. It’s easier to update with that goal in mind, it will take you guys less time to read it, and it will make things safer for my hands -everybody wins!

See ya in a few!

EDIT: Welp, nearly 6000 words (3k more than intended! XD). I’m doing a quick edit, then posting, so pop in at Absolution in about 15 minutes. Yay!

I just realized I’ve updated 6 times in the last 6 weeks, which is some kind of miracle for me. My hands are starting to pay for it, but I just put on new braces, so hopefully that will help because I want to keep going while I “feel” it, ya know?

I made a dulce de leche birthday cake for mys ick friend yesterday (He shares that birth date with my mom and Dangersque aka Danga) and I made the leche myself.

The cake is yellow sponge with buttercream icing and dulce de leche filling/topping. >.> Probably 10lbs to the gut per slice, but those are his favorite flavors and he loved it. 😀

In fandom news, I’m done hosting contests. The Valentine’s Day one was the last. I spend a lot of money on these things, and most of the time, it’s not worth it. This last contest had a bit of an ‘upset’ with first place going to a piece that wasn’t technically’ as good as second place (both art), but apparently, struck a bigger chord with the judges. Let’s just say that I had zero issue with how, who, and what was chosen as the 3 winners. I completely understood the choosing and stand by it as the hostess of the contest and the only one who ever pays for these things. (With special thanks going to my graphics team, who provides the wallpapers)

In fact, everyone involved in the contest got a prize that was actually purchased, which means I spent money on it, but only a few bothered to even say thank you or congratulate the other winners. UGH. NO HOME TRAINING. It’s enough now, so no more money is going into the IY fandom unless it’s to benefit myself or my special ones.

Moving on…

I’m writing again today and I’ll have some new art for you guys to chuckle at. It won’t be a header, though. I’ve been reluctant to change headers yet because I adore the current one so much (You guys know I love baseball, so “Baseball Yasha” is one of my all time faves). I added the full pic to my gallery if you want to take a peek. I’ve been neglecting o post new artises there, so I’ll be catching up on that soon.

And last, thanks to everyone who dropped me a line at Absolution. Knowing you enjoy the updates motivates me to bring you more, so let’s see what we can do before my hands force me to take a break!

I’ve been writing this awful chapter for 3 days, lol.  Okay, not a full 3 days. I took breaks to eat, sleep, and watch Boardwalk Empire…  But yeah, this sucks. This is a story I don’t want to finish, really, because it’s given me such trouble. But I feel compelled to finish because it’s for someone special. I think that fluff and I have run our course and need to part ways. I only have a couple of stories that are WAFF specials, but they all kill me when I try to update. I’m out of my element (Yes, that includes In His Eyes), but, well, I’ll do my best. This chapter is short like the last one, so I’ll be stopping soon (Thank goodness!) and posting it.

In other news…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RHYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

If you’re reading this, have a bootiful day!
Aaaaaand, I think my autographed U-KISS CD is at the post office. SO. EXCITED. WAH.
I’ll send you a pic!

Okay, ciao, bellas!

Today is my sweetie’s 21st birthday!! Finally legal!
(It’s my aunt’s birthday, too!)

Taken last night with a plate of goodies made by his bandmates.

TODAY IS MY KAU’S BIRTHDAY!!!

And for her gift, I got her the prettiest Kouga and Rin artwork created by the completely fabulous, Cati.

(I may add it to my gallery at a later date.)

I also got her this:

Without a doubt, she is a happy camper.

I Feel Loved! xD

This was a super-fucking-awesome birthday. It really was and I didn’t even do much today. I spent a good deal of the day with Kau online and thanking all the awesome people who remembered and acknowledged my day. What an honor! So, thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it! <333 I also got some really GREAT gifts and I was so surprised and happy!! Shall I share? Yeah, I think I will! 😛 My kau sent me a goodie box from Louisiana that contained caramel monkey bread, white chocolate truffles, tons of candy, a set of Hello Kitty figurines from Japan, TWO Daryl action figures (from The Walking Dead), TWO Kevin Woo videos (SQUEE!), and some cute and funny art. However, the art is private and I won't be displaying it anywhere. That's why she's my best Kau -she rocks!! My awesome sister, Neo, had a Human -canon- InuYasha commissioned for me and it's so cute! The artist did really well, especially with the background. She also made me a bunch of Kevin graphics and I FUCKING LOVE THEM! WAAAAAH!!!!ONEONE! My totally BEAST little sister, Am, got me an iTunes GC and made me a killer wallpaper of guess who?! KEVIN WOO -INUYASHA- ZERO KIRYUU!!!!!! \o/ To say I screamed and bounced around like a child is an understatement. Those are the 3 guys I love the most, so I’m pretty damn stoked! She knows my passion!!

The sweet and talented, Cati-Art, Blackorchid2007, and InuKagomeluvrs, and Moniquiu all made me these GORGEOUS Human InuYasha piccies that I just ADORE!! All three are just too cute and sexy. WAAAH! Love them!

My wonderfully talented nee-chan gave me the gift of coloring my Knife of Romance lineart that Sarah created, and oh yeeeeeeeeah. You guys are gonna like what you see! *slurp*

Over at Deviant Art, aside from the giftart, I got some cake badges, llamas, and a bunch of birthday well wishes from my buds and watchers. Same at Facebook -and it was really nice to be remembered.

As a gift to myself, I got a dozen cupcakes from my favorite bakery on EARTH. Wanna check ’em out? This’ll do you no good if you don’t live in New York City, though. 😛 Sugar Sweet Sunshine . Their pistachio cupcakes are to DIE for. *drool*

I also got U-KISS’ latest CD (you’re hearing one of the new songs now), which was one of the best gifts ever! I even learned all the Japanese lyrics to “Forbidden Love” -my favorite U-KISS song to date! <3 And last, but not least, I finally treated myself to an iPod Touch. I had a classic all this time and never really considered switching since it works perfectly. But I changed my mind and it's an awesome little device. But again, this is Apple. Of course it's awesome! xD Mhmm. The day was pretty fucking awesome. \(^o^)/ I'll be posting all my gifts to the gallery tomorrow because I’m just too damn tired to do it tonight. right now except for the personal u-kiss graphics that Neo made for me. And big, heartfelt thanks to everyone who remembered me today! I shan’t forget you when it counts! o.~

And yes, there will be writing this weekend. And when it’s ready to post, you’ll be treated to a new, sexy skin that I know you guys will love! Then, there will be another skin after that! I may also work on Knife of Romance early and treat you to that art, too! 😀

Btw, the member list will become available by Sunday, then you guys will have a chance to start getting passwords and so on. If you’re new to the site, read the instructions for applying for an account carefully because I’m going to delete requests if you don’t mail me everything that I asked for.
That’s about it!

Happy Saturday!
