I would like to say a view words regarding Klyde, Laceys beloved hamster. Im going to miss the little fella. Hes not doing so well in health and this may be his last couple of hours. Even though he disliked hippies, I never stopped thinking he was the most adorable damn hamster Ive seen! He will be deeply missed

Damn...I wish I could be there in Kansas at Lacey's house...but I'm stuck in Iowa! Hang in there Lacey! *snuggles*
==========================================================
On a much happier note, Im rather excited for the new year. I wrote up a traditional list of resolutions, but I dont even know If Im going to follow any of them! Thats pretty sad if you ask me. Anyway, I have to tell some watchers of mine
.I wrote my VERY FIRST Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction the day before I left to come to Iowa for the holidays. Its up on fanfiction.net now if anyones interested in seeing it. I am quite proud of how it came out, and even sent it in for consideration in the Naka-Kon fanfiction contest. Although, as soon as I did that, I began to seriously doubt. I really should have sent in that RikuxSora story, because there was more writing to it. The fic I sent in was merely just a character contemplation piece, and barely reached the minimum number of words required for the contest. Ah well, theres always next year I can try.
Also, I have a serious announcement to make. This goes out to

and

. Im sorry to say this guys, but I wont be able to make it to the next Anime Festival Wichita this year. I know, Im SO unhappy about it! The reason is because I wont be back from Alaska in time! I honestly thought wed be back by at least the beginning or middle of July, but we wont be back until the middle of August! So, that means no Zexion this year! *pout*
However, on the brighter side, I DID get my registration finally in for Naka-Kon. I really hope I get all of my cosplay stuff done in time. Its going to be a real rush now.

So
on my way up to Iowa, I was in a HUGE muse and it lasted for well over an hour or so. I got so many ideas written down and polished up. My main concern is actually finding time to sit down and write some of these fics. Ive got about 4 or 5 one-shot ideas, and a couple of chapter fictions in the process. I dont know why, but my muse has been demanding FMA stuff and Im quite scared. I told myself I wasnt going to get into writing for that fandom, but apparently my muse thinks otherwise. I know it may sound silly me talking about a muse as an actual person, but sometimes I feel like its just that. I have no control sometimes over the ideas that come into my mind; they can just spring up randomly and invade. Its almost like someone is whispering random crap in my ear, and I cant help but listen.
So, without further ado, I would like to share a bit of some.
First, Ive had this idea going for some time now, but because my muse has shifted slightly off of Kingdom Hearts, I havent put much more thought into this idea recently. I DID begin writing the first couple of chapters and know the basic idea. But its going to be a story titled Addict. Its a story that revolves around the life of Demyx, in a way. I stumbled upon the idea one day when thinking about how fans often view Demyxs character, and how often he is paired off with certain Org. members. I know theres Akudemy, XigDem, and Zemyx. But Ive also heard of LuxDem and even XalDem (which scares me slightly). I began wondering
what exactly makes people want to pair him with so many people? I mean, in the game, Demyx didnt interest me all that much.. He was a scared little boy who didnt want to do anything for the Organization and loved water. Of course, thats just my opinion, but I never really understood
the appeal Demyx has on other fans, and why he seems like such a favorable candidate in Kingdom Hearts yaoi shipping. So, I decided to write a story using those different pairings, and exploring their characteristics using Zexion himself. I mean, since he IS the cloaked schemer, I would think it wouldnt be too hard for him to get information out of people, or to find shit out his own way. I want to be as creative as I can with this. But this isnt going to be like an essay or anything. It will be an actual chapter story with takes on Org. pairings similar to the ones Ive seen done in the archives.
Another muse that arose happened to be for Harry Potter! I was stunned actually considering I havent written for Harry Potter in over a year! This fic will focus on Angelina Johnson and how she views the death of Fred Weasley. As many of you know, it was never known if there was anything going on between the two of them while at school. The fact that he took her to the Yule Ball hardly proves any valid points, sorry to say. But anyway, I quite liked the idea and was inspired by the song Crazy Angel, by Kill Hannah. Its a GREAT song and I highly recommend you listen to it!
So
do you all want to know what I got for Christmas? Im so excited because I received THREE gift cards to Barnes and Noble! Lets just say that Im going to be happy for a while! I also got a brand new DVD player (because my other one got recalled) from my grandparents. I also got a few little things here and there
--
A very BIG sorry goes out to Lacey, because Im so behind with getting her Org. wolves completed. I have Zexion almost finished, and am halfway done with Marluxia. Just hold on a little longer, okay?
--
Ive gotten that new Kingdom Hearts game, but I havent played it in a while. Its not that Im becoming bored with it, I guess Im just preoccupied with other things, like muses for other fandoms, and Animal Crossing, and schoolwork
Speaking of Animal Crossing, I only have ONE MORE HOUSE PAYMENT to go before my house is COMPLETELY paid off. But the good news is that I FINALLY HAVE A BACKROOM! Vexen finally has his lab, Lacey!
