Fondest memories would definitely be the family bbqs i had, they were really fun. Also joining jrotc at my school and making new friends. The low points was definitely losing my sister. I honestly don't wish to do it all over again. Things happen for a reason.

I just thought that maybe what's keeping me from writing the next chapter for Seven Days is Karasu. I've decided last year to bring him back to life just like 99% of the fanfic writers do in their fanfics that feature Karasu in some sort of way include him in my fanfic. Not only him, but also Kuronue. Long before I decided to write the fanfic, I've had them in mind for such and such roles. The only problem is actually writing the scenes down. I can't, for the life of me, write dialogues for them!

I think, for the most part, it's the awkwardness of writing about characters that I admit I don't know very well. Karasu, even if a standard villain in Yuu Yuu Hakusho, is still an enigma to me despite having a backstory. He's sadistic, has a strange fascination for Kurama, and is a bomb-happy demon. Kuronue is even worse, having appeared only in the movie. The only things I know about him personality-wise are the ones I've read in fanfics.

Normally, writing about underdeveloped or minor characters is considered great. Fanfics, after all, take some liberties with--and sometimes altogether disregard--the canon world. That said, anyone can write about both characters freely and still make them in-character, as long as the main characteristics are there. It should be fairly easy, in short. But my subconscious seems to be disagreeing and saying, "You can't write about characters you don't understand."

Therein lies the problem. Miss Subconscious is saying I don't understand Karasu and Kuronue to write about them. It's why I've never written anything outside the fandom; when I don't understand, I don't write. (Well, there's this one time, but quarter-baked goods aren't considered good.)

However, my more...creative (lol, creative, me?) side is saying, "Geez, Karasu is a straightforward character." And he really isn't hard to understand at all. He's the WYSIWYG type. I don't know what I should understand. Kuronue, on the other hand, is the DWYW type. Basically, I can butcher his character all I want, and Togashi won't come after me with a bolo. (The fangirls are a different story, but let's say they don't exist for the purpose of this internal argument.)

But still, I...can't. I can't write them at all. And the annoying thing is that they actually play a big part on the plot. WTF am I supposed to do? I don't intend to, I refuse, and I will never ever, write OCs as long as there's a YYH character that can work well with the role/scene I have in mind. Well, actually, not quite true, but that's a different story. I've pegged Karasu and Kuronue for these roles, and I can't suddenly change the characters' names just like that. It'll be all for naught.

Oh, Karasu, Kuronue. You've got to help me finish this damn fanfic. It's been, like, a year already. *weeps in frustration*

I'm sorry for not posting any entry for like weeks. My real life is getting very exciting and cool. I really love how the Christmas went through, I've got alot presents, chocolates, imported snacks, and more. The most important thing is, I learned so much this Christmas :D

BTW, you must have noticed the new look and the new feel! Yes, I've just changed the layout into a new one. I initially planned it to be released on Christmas eve, but unfortunately I was too busy, so it got held and I haven't been able to finish it until yesterday. I named this "Scrapping the Sky", this name popped in my head everytime I see those skycrapper buildings. I'm in love with the color combination of blue and gray/black. It looks so freaking elegant. Oh yeah, I drew the whole graphics myself, using Photoshop CS3, and coded using Notepad++, and also using xampp. ^^ Tell me how do you think of it, don't hesitate to poke me if something look uncool. ROFL, I'm a sucker of constructive suggestions and criticsms. So yeah, go ahead!

Since 2010 is approaching, I decided to make a blog all about 2009. Overall, I would say that this year was very strange. It seems it was all about celebrities and not about people who were actually making a change to this world. Even the local news were talking about Tiger Woods and his mistresses, Kanye West and his douchey ways, Lady Gaga's outrageous outfits, celebrity couples breaking up or cheating, Jon and Kate's rollercoaster of a marriage, balloon boy, Chris Brown going all psycho on Rihanna, etc. I mean that was interesting but WHO CARES!! Also the swine flu was a huge epidemic. People wearing face masks, putting on hand sanitizer 24/7. Everyone, including me, was cautious of the H1N1.

The beginning of 2009 was very bad for me. On February 20th, my sister passed away in a car accident. My mind just went into depression mode. But I knew that to move on with my life, I had to stop the grieving because I knew that my sister wouldn't want me to act like that. But by the end of this year, everything seemed to get better. My sophomore year is going very well so far. I love my classes and the people in it(well not all of them), and I'm actually learning things.

But one bad thing that happened this year that seemed to affect a number of families is the economy. A lot of companies closed down, many people lost their jobs, families had their houses foreclosed. It was just a whirlwind of people losing money. With Obama getting inaugurated earlier in the year, I just hope he can get the economy back to normal.

With that being said, lets forget everything bad that happened this year and be optimistic for 2010 :)

I'm usually at my house watching TV and counting down. But this year, I really want to hang with my friends

Well, Christmas is over. I can't believe how quickly it came and went. Every year it seems that it arrives sooner and sooner. o.O I hope everyone had a wonderful day. Mine was very nice. My family was extra generous this year, we gave each other way too many gifts! :D I'm just grateful we were all together. It happens so rarely anymore. :(

Guess what? It's been snowing like crazy here!! I'm so thrilled as I love this time of year and the snow. Unfortunately we had rain on Christmas but it's finally arrived and looks so beautiful. ♥ My dog just loves going outside and playing in the snow too. He's so funny. I'll have to take some pics and post them. ^^

So, The Book Thief is my favorite book ever. I came upon these quotes and wanted to share them.

"He must have longed for it so much. He must have loved her so incredibly hard. So hard that he would never ask for her lips again and would go to his grave without them."

""The tears grappled with her face.
"Rudy, please, wake up, Goddamn it, wale up, I love you. Come on, Rudy, come on, Jesse Owens, don't you know I love you, wake up, wake up, wake up.."
But nothing cared... "

""How about a kiss, Saumensch?"

"In truth, I think he was afraid. Rudy Steiner was scared of the book thief's kiss

"He'd have been glad to witness her kissing his dusty, bomb-hit lips.
Yes, I know it.
In the darkness of my dark-beating heart, I know. He'd have loved it all right.
You see?
Even death has a heart."
