Tell me why my heart breaks,

Tell me why it burns.

Had I known it'd hurt this much,

I would have brought an umbrella with me,

And cried in the storm.

Current Status: Not sure. Why? Because some things come so unexpectedly that it's like running up a mile-high mountain, trying to catch up with life while still getting over the shock. Don't worry, I will never abandon my stories. I hate to say how long it will take me, but I will finish them. Someday.

Upload: 4/21/10 The Bet

It has come to my attention that this piece of mine is very similar to November Romeo's Open Season. I have read it and indeed noted the similarities, but I have proof that I had written this idea out before she uploaded her's.

It just so happens that she beat me to it when it comes to the betting part of the idea. But the similarities stop there.

I normally write the rough drafts of every written piece of mine in my email due to a hard earned lesson. The date of the rough draft for The Bet was written out in 1/13/10 in attempt to finish it in time for that certain holiday. Obviously, I did not meet that deadline. I can even screen-shot my email draft if this continues to get out of hand and whatnot. So please, do not accuse me of nonsensical things :)

The Bet was just supposed to be a one shot piece for one of the romantic holidays ;) but it got rather troublesome for me to write the piece as one whole so I was going to post them into parts. Although with the way it's looking I severely hope that it doesn't turn into a full story considering my time haha!

But anyway, I highly respect November Romeo's works and appreciate the time and effort she puts into them. Although I am heartily saddened to hear of her leaving I wish her the very best.

Update: 11/20/10 Chapter 1 of In Reverse (Once known as: A New Disaster/His Wish) finally rewritten.

The Story of Regret also rewritten.I reeaally should not have written that at 3 in the morning and then have edited it right after... I must have been out of my mind XD

Update: 11/21/10 Finally looked through the rewrite of chapter one of In Reverse and brushed up what mistakes I could catch. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Update: 11/23/10 A Wish In the Night finally deserved to be looked through. It has gone through some major editing in the beginning because even I did not understand what I was trying to write lol!

Slightly brushed up on what I could catch grammar-wise and is a bit longer than the original. Still needs to be looked through one more tome for final editing, but I'm still rather sick of reading it more times than I can remember... I really need a beta.

If he had any more normalcy, Sora might explode.

Which was why, that night, he jumped out the window.

Oh, don't look at me like that. He's doesn't die or anything.

Eventually Kairi tears her eyes away from The Drawing and looks at him. "Looks" was a woefully inadequate adjective; her eyes were careful daggers slowly sliding their red-hot points into his skin. They branded. They seared. They not only forbade the idea of looking away, but took the idea outside, roughed it up, and tossed it into a Dumpster that got taken away with the trash tomorrow morning.

That kind of look.

…but to lose against him at a videogame… now that truly was shameful. So Cloud stepped up, increasing his speed and focusing harder on the beat. He told himself 'I am not dancing, I am undergoing footwork training…' and, quite frankly, compared to the movements Sora was making, Cloud really wasn't dancing.

"I agree with Aerith," Cloud spoke up, still chuckling and Yuffie's last ridiculous comment. "Besides, everyone knows that Riku's gay for Sora."

Food for Thought:

A man dreamt he was a butterfly flying happily among trees. It was such a vivid dream that when he awoke and found himself a man, he did not know for certain that he was not really a butterfly dreaming he was a man.

(Chuang Tzu: Taoist Chinese called the "butterfly philosopher" he was most famed for his butterfly dream. An interesting piece well woven into the story, Alter Egos by Aishuu)

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us? Don't tell!
They'd advertise us, you know!

How dreary to be Somebody!
How public, like a Frog
To tell one's name, the livelong day,
To an admiring Bog!

(Emily Dickinson)
