What does it mean, to be human?  Is the definition of humanity, kindness?  Is it cruelty?  Is it the things that you see in us as a race every day, or is it the actions of a few, banding together in the futile hope of stopping a murderer?  Is it those who care most for their family, or the ones that put the planet above even their interactions with others?  Is it the laughter of a child, or the crying of a babe?  Is it giving, taking, hoping, dreaming?...

So tonight, my brother in law had a seizure. He has been having them for years. He is fine now, but that is not what this journal is about.

Tonight, a man's wellfare was quite literally in my hands. I had to hold him, to make sure that he didn't bash his head in on his desk. I had to hold him while he vomited and shook in my arms. My heart was in my throat and there was a rock stuck in my gut as I clung to this man and held him as still as I could so th...

Sometimes life hits ya hard, I guess.  I'm sitting here trying not to cry so hard my head starts hurting and my stomach gets upset.  I always end up losing people.  My aunt, my sister...  what next, my brother?  My mother?  My father?  I don't want to lose you, sister.  But it hurts me that you have such utter disregard for everyone.  You hurt me, you hurt our other sister.  You hurt Andy, and my nephews.  I hate the fact that eventually, you'll hurt Danu.  Really, you say you're so much diff...

... with a rant.

Okay, I'd like to address a couple common errors with writing, particularly lemons. I hope someone gleans some knowledge from this and betters themselves, but chances are they'll tell me I'm an idiot (which I'm not).

1) Magically Disappearing Clothing.

This is *very* common, I've found, especially with lemon-writers that haven't experienced sex themselves. The dom gets the sub onto the bed/couch/table/what the fuck ever (literally, as the case may be). They start with for...

That's how I feel right now. I feel strangely out of the loop. Cut off, left out... I feel as if I'm... secluded. That's the only word that really describes it. I feel secluded. I'm always writing, so I'm hardly ever talking to people enough of the time. IM can only go so far, after all. I realize this is probably a bit belated/'duh, Sorrow, you didn't notice already?', but... Still. I feel the inexplicable need to actually point out the obvious.

I mean, sure, some people LIKE my writing...

Tis dismal. Absolutely dismal. I am stuck. I am writing this lovely and beautiful UlquiHime story (with yummy side-pairings of UraharaAizen, IchigoShinji etc.), and my muse decided to make me indecisive. I'm not exactly unable to write. Just stuck. I dunno if I should do this, this or that with certain plot points. LUCKILY, I have wonderful friends (o0KittyBlue, Dracoqueen22 and another that I don't know the screenname to so we'll call her PockyPanda for now) that are helping me through this ...

Oh... My god. Seriously. What is it about my stories that attract stupid people? Now, I'm not saying all my readers are stupid, but there is an alarmingly, increasingly large amount of them. For example, this morning, I got a review on MM for my fanfic CIS (Coma Induced Stupidity, YYH/IY crossover, HeKa pairing, beta'd by KibaSin, for those who haven't read it) That told me, "You're moving too fast with the romance", when there really isn't any yet! In fact, and yes ladies and gentlemen, this...

I've come to the conclusion that Yahoo! is crap.  Complete and total crap.  Like, crappier than crap.  I press 'delete' and it stalls.  So Yahoo! is officially crap.  Yanno, I'm thinking of doing a daily rant on things, sorta like gossip.  Why?  'Cause it's funny.  Lol.
