Title: Why

“Why” is perhaps a good word to describe his unsaid comment. But remained unsaid and would never be spoken. Things were seldom simple, as far as life went. Year after year, it only became more complex. A childish question of “why” would only bring more questions, rather than the simple answer he sought.

He gazed back to the hill. Row after row of gnarled stumps, standing like tombstones under the hot sun. Cool rain would never wash between the leaves again, nor fog curl like a lazy cat between the trunks, nor water glisten on ripening apples. No more diamond veil spider webs in the morning.

There were never simple answers, only complex questions that would go without answer.

I seem to be doing okay in class, despite doodling, daydreaming, and fic writing during lecture. XD So, I guess I’m going to start using it to get back into the swing of writing.

So, here’s another little ficlet. This is from Tenten’s perspective, watching Lee and Neji spar.

Yes, in case you were wondering… I did write this after rewatching episodes 48-50.

Well, I finally did it. During a lecture on Monday, I wrote myself a stupid, little Naruto Reader Insert fic.

And you know what? I still don’t get it. Worst problem I had writing it was I kept jumping around in my tense. Nothing reading it out-loud didn’t fix while I was waiting for a T-storm to pass.

Oh well, it’s probably a girl thing and not likely something I’ll ever get. At least I didn’t fall asleep in class.

Why do finals have to absolutely kill you? I BOMBED my programming final. Absotively, posilutely bombed. Q_Q

I swear, I’ve studied my ass off and I still bombed it. 90 questions right out of 165. I think that with this next round of textbook sales I’m going to burn a little money and get a bunch of used programming books so maybe I can figure out where I went wrong.

At any rate, that isn’t the reason for my rant. (While it’s a perfectly good reason, it’s not the reason aside from contributing to my already crabby mood.) Yes, it’s another “I want feedback, damnit” emo rant.

[mood : preditory]

I was lurking around FF.net and MM.org this evening, hunting down Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross fanfiction when a pair of rants began trying to pound its way out of my skull. They’re about crossovers and “Insert YOU” fanfiction; both of which are seldom - if ever - well executed and seem to be the latest fads in bad fanfiction.

And since this might attract some flames or at least some rebuttals, please at least have the balls to identify yourself. If you flame me anonymously, I’ll just assume that you’re another snot nosed toddler masquerading as a supposed adult.

What is it with the crossovers? (more…)
