I've three hours, twenty minutes until I have a meeting, so what better to use that time then to go online? Or so I thought...
I'm bored, even online! I've visited all my guilds on Gaia, even posted some on the regular forums, and my wings ich. Very badly. Aaarg! *flails*
AnimePaper has nothing new I like, my eyes are starting to hurt (I think these glasses aren't quite focused right...), and DevArt is losing it's charm for me. I would go to Y!Gallery (full of oh so pretty boys and gay lovin') but that's a Firefox only site and all the school computers have is IE. Oy!
And did I mention my wings ich? I can't get to them because they're not really there, which is annoying. I would watch some Mononoke (not Princess Mononoke!) but I don't want to make too much noise in the HUB computer room. (Mononoke is Really Pretty and the main character, the Medicine Seller is HOT. No, he doesn't have a name other than Medicine Seller.)
I'll go read fanfiction now.
((Gaara (who is mentioned in this) belongs to Masashi Kishimoto-sensei. All else is mine))
She's never been able to sleep. It drove her father crazy when she was an infant, her body's and mind's inability to settle down the sun went down, and rest and dream like the rest of humanity's. She quickly learned by the time she was four or so that no one would play with her when the stars were out, in fact they would yell and get mad at her. So she quickly got used to playing by herself all night.
So here she is, watching the stars slowly rotate around the sky from her bedroom window, biding her time until morning comes and people will be willing to talk to her again.
There was one boy she remembers that would play with her when the sun wasn't in the sky. A redhead he was, with black rimmed green eyes. She would trace shapes in the sand he gave her and sing up crystals. He would show her the secret places of the desert town he lived in. Sadly, her family left not three months after they started playing together, he looked devastated when she told him she had to leave. They hugged, despite her aversion to touching others and his protective, hovering sand, and she left that town the next day.
She sees a shooting star, and smiles at it, but does not make a wish. Those that she did wish on just ended up bringing bad luck to her. Finally she sees the eastern sky lighten, and she opens her window and climbs onto her roof. Down the street the baker is getting ready for the day. Cafe workers are moving tables and chairs out onto the patios. She watches the sun slowly rise over the horizon, then climbs back into her room to get ready for the day, as well as act as an alarm clock for her father and Uncle.
Another sleepless night is over with, and another day has begun. She hopes that it'll be fun.
So, here we are at Version Vibrant. It's very nice. Not quite deserving of the fuss I made to family and friends, but definitely worth the wait. Do I see myO being pushed into the background, however? That's not so good. MyO was one of the main reasons I joined.
