Events of an Eventous Nature.

Went shopping with the Maternal Unit yesterday, yay! We bought two dresses (one of which I *will* fit into by next spring, I solemnly vow), and plan to come back for the others on Monday when they go to half price. I love consignment shops, I really do! I also got a pin in the shape of a gold feather with a circle of rhinestones around it. Ish pretty.

I can't find the Major Arcana from my Tarot decks (except Temperance, for some odd reason), and I know I put them somewhere when playing magician. Also, I remember seeing the little guidebook on what they all mean somewhere around, but now I can't find it. Grr.

As atonement for not liking him, this Togakushi challenge will be about Kamui. Because I feel just a liiiittle bit sorry that I don't like him enough.

Also, we went to the library. I packed the library basket to overflowing with just my own stuff. New Bradbury, and manga (X/1999:Overture, yay, I forgive them for not having what I want all the time!), and more Oz(all the ones left), and Agatha Christie, and I forget what all else. I love books, I really do.

Stole from sister and read Ranma 1/2 volume 21. This is what I think:

Cygna: Aaaaaareeeees! Heeeeermeeees!
Ares: *appears* What is it now, woman? I'm busy!
Hermes: *likewise appears* What's going...*sees book* Oh. Uh.
Cygna: Hermes, you got Ares involved with this series, didn't you?!
Hermes: Perhaps.
Ares: Well, he sure couldn't have thought that up on his own!
Cygna: Hermes, explain.
Hermes: *nervous* Well, I was bored, and there's only so much you can do with the same plot, and, and...yeah.
Cygna: So you were bored, and thus decided to create a new subfandom.
Ares: Oh, I wouldn't say *create*, they've been around for quite some time now. More...supporting them.
Cygna: I see. What am I going to do about you two?
Hermes: Let us go back to what you were doing?
Cygna: Maybe. On condition that you, Ares, start sending divine messages to bad Seto/Jou writers telling them to stop, and you, Hermes, do the same to the writers of bad gender-benders.
Hermes&Ares: WHAAAAT?!!
Cygna: Think of it as making your section look better.
Ares: How do you stand on smiting?
Cygna: How do you *think* I stand?
Ares: Right. Off I go. *smites random badficcer*
Hermes: Ahhh...about the whole Ranma thing...
Cygna: Oh, I'm not complaining. I think it was cute. *starryeyes* Their love is so...so...semicanonical!
Hermes: O-kay. Bye *skitters off*
Cygna: *still starryeyed* Wah...

Fic Woe.

I started the Tarot challenge. However, as I began writing under the influence of Jane Yolen and ended up under the influence of Ray Bradbury, it is really, really bad. Also, my card babble sounds like it came out of the booklet because, surprise! it did. It's hard to design a reading, just so you know.

So, yeah. I'm going to start over on this one. And make a note to finish pieces while reading the same author as when I started. Especially one-shots. *sweatdrop*
