Greetings!

Ok, so I didn't exactly update the story I was so anxious to start. School is out, I've been graduated for awhile now, and I haven't returned...well... don't worry, I will! I have some sort of a plot forming in my head, so it'll have a direction, really, it will. As I've said before, I think this story will go in a really weird direction. As in, Itsuki is freed, but into modern times, or something (don't be surprised if that's nowhere remotely close to where the story ends up going). It just seems like that would be fun to write, and I haven't seen any stories out there like it. O.O...if there is, I'm terribly sorry, I swear I didn't steal your idea.

I'm also working on a website, well...I already have one, but I'm redoing it because it's...well, crappy. See, before, I simply made all my own graphics and typed up all my own html and posted it with freewebs, but that sucks, so I made better graphics, and got myself a copy of microsoft frontpage from a friend (shhhh.......stolen program! omg!) and I'm redoing the whole thing. It's mostly going to be Final Fantasy VIII, but, as all FF8 sites and whatnot out there seem to be unoriginal and have all the same info, I'm going to have to have my own unique stuff, besides the graphics and wallpapers I make, so I might have other sections on there devoted to things like Fatal Frame. OH! I made a Fatal Frame wallpaper with mio on it, if anyone's interested, I'd be glad to send it to them, or show them a link to where it's posted...I should probably post it somewhere...well, if anyone's interested, I'll post it on imageshack or something and put the link on here.

ANYWHO, I've been doing a lot of babysitting recently, (avoiding the job search) and I think I'll take a notebook with me tomorrow morning and if I can stay awake, I'll write notes for the story from 7 a.m. until the kids wake up, which should give me a good few hours...I hope...prolly not, one of them is a baby, if he happens to be hungry or just woke up or something, I won't get any peace for a couple hours, and by that time, the 5 yr old will wake up, then I'll be making breakfast, and before I know it, it's time for the price is right! ....don't worry, I know I'm insane. THAT REMINDS ME! I bought this book the other day, called How To Be A Villian, and it's HILARIOUS! It's written by Neil Zawacki. Anyone with a sense of humor should check this book out, it's awesome. One of the many awesome parts of the book: Thwarting the forces of good.

Excerpt from chapter three (thwarting the forces of good), page 77:

Swashbuckler:
You may think you are safe from the swashbuckler by now, but rare sightings still occur. There are still a number of heroes out there who likeswinging from chandeliers while clenching a dagger between their teeth. Also known for their fabulous swordplay, the swashbuckler is aas skilled in the arts of romance as he is in heroism. Master of the dances as well as the bedside,his very appearance cancause women to faint and hearts to swoon. If you think the swashbuckler is an unworthy adversary, consider how much he hasaccomplished while wearing a poofy shirt and breeches. What if youhad to wear a poofy shirt and breeches? The world justmight be safe from serious evil.
How to thwart them:
The swashbuckler is a true swordsman and will fight like a hundred men. Send in a hundred and one.

Trust me, it's a good book So anyways, that's my update. Hey, at least I put something interesting to read on my profile! Sort of...well it's interesting if you read the how to be a villian part. ; Who knows, maybe I'll have the STORY updated after tomorrow! ...don't quote me on that.

oh, and of course...btw: Don't be in the least surprised if I change important, crucial elements of the story 10 more times. thank you, and good day.
