Paticia's Work Status:
Lit. Crit Paper and Presentation: Done
Finals: Working on them.
Summer Jobs: 2
Now, before I continue with my blog, let me stop and do something for the Pub 2009 Challenge I am currently participating in. I've read my first Pub Book, Hideyuki Kikuchi's Vampire Hunter D: Volume 12 Pale Fallen Angels Parts 3 and 4. So, in honor of this book, here's my review for it.
Picking up where Parts 1 and 2 left off, D and his troupe finally make it to the city they've been seeking. Although D's contract is now fulfilled (and we all know D's all about the contract), his job is far from over. The Baron, the vampire noble that D was hired by, goes to face his father, while D sticks around to see how things turn out (not to mention, he's taken up on a contract by May, one of the girls that has been travelling with him). The Baron's vampire, the vampire lord Vlad who rules over the town, sends after D and the Baron with a whole new troupe of bad guys. Also, new allies are made as D and his group race to destroy Vlad once and for all. That is, unless the Destroy that is possessing the vampire Miska kills them all first.
So, I finished this book in like, two days. Loved it and I can't wait for volume 13, out this October!
Continuing on, I've been thinking about this blog, wondering what it is that I should blog about. Most people have a sort of theme for their blog...their personal lives, crafts, cooking...I've run across several. Now, although my life will continued to be blogged about in this place--since it is The Trishverse (i.e. Trish's 'Verse)--I think the purpose of this blog may come to serve something that I do often in real life and have done rarely here. I'll rant about my writing and my love of fandom! After all, those are two of the most important things in my life, following after my loved ones, that is.
So, my purpose to blog? Finally found it...and I'm surprised it's taken me this long. I'll be back later, possibly tonight, tomorrow, or Monday, with my first fandom blog!
Kidnapped by Alucard, D, and the Winchester Brothers in Order to Defeat True Evil,
Trish

Racing to 100
I have this goal. I think I've mentioned it before. 100 fanfictions by the time Ariyana graduates (i.e. the end of the semester). Where do I stand on this goal? 88 fanfics and counting. I intend to do another one-shot crossover tonight...I may call it "Alone." It's Tara (from Buffy:TVS) and Lacroix (from Forever Knight). I also intend to work on the next one-shot in the Youth and Innocence story. Yup, still in vamp mode.
And no, still no paper for Lit. Crit. He moved the due date of the paper until Wednesday (not today, next Wednesday!), and I got off lucky because I don't have to do my presentation for that class until Monday. Which means, yeah, definitely gotta do that paper this weekend...and tell Mom and Laura that I still can't make it home.
On another note, my wedding dress is in! It's currently under Ariyana's mom's protection (when she gets it from the post office). I'll have it either this weekend or next! I'm so excited! I can't wait to try it on!
Back to school here, I did my reading for Oral Traditon. I haven't had a chance to read over the comments from my peers or my teacher, but, out loud, Garner said that I did an excellent job acting out my dialogue. By the way, I read from All Together Dead, the 7th in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I had so much fun reading it!
And tomorrow, in between classes, I intend to edit my history paper...that's only about 30 minutes (if even that) of work. Then, I turn it in Fri. and all I have to do is attend that class and take its final. Funny, I was worried sick about taking that class (it was required for my minor), but it turned out to be, like, one of the easiest ones I had this semester. The only class easier (and probably a little bit more fun) was Oral Tradition.
So, that's it for me. I'm off (got to go finish closing the LRC). See you next time!

So, I Went to Castlevania for a Meeting with Dracula...
Yeah, I'm in full vampire mode. Dunno why...just am. I'm having to practically sit on my hands to keep from writing the next chapter of Untested...I should do another chapter of Dilemma while my brain's on vampires...but I don't know quite what happens next...well, I do, but I don't, you know?
And, if anyone's still wondering...no, paper not done...But! I did get some fantastic news for my History paper! He loved it! Called it excellent! I'm estatic!
Also, if you're still wondering, I still hate Simon Belmont. With a fiery red passion. I feel the need to write an Alucard fic...maybe for the xover challenge...I'm still deciding...
I think I would be good friends with Left Hand...random, sorry.
So, that's about it for me...going to go off and try to produce a chapter of something.
And eat...

Blogging...More Important Than Food!
Yeah, so I have class in like an hour and fourty minutes and I havent' eaten lunch yet. So, I have to make this quick.
One paper down, another paper, a presentation, a prose reading, and finals to go. Sound like a lot? Well, the only ones I'm worried about is that other paper and the presentation (which goes along with it). Presentations start next Friday, with papers due in by email by noon that monday. So, in essence, I have to have my paper done (with a powerpoint for my presentation) done by Friday. The powerpoint will be easy once I have my paper...the paper on the other hand...could someone just put me in a coma until Tuesday the 28th?
On other notes, I've really been working on my writing, more fan fiction than original, but writing's writing. It's still practice in honing my skills. Sound like a waste of time? Thinking I should be working on my paper? Probably, but since being a professional writier is the career I want--scratch that, need--...bite me. I'm gonna write! On that note, I've been pretty regular on my chapters of fanfiction with How to be a Dhampire and Untested being the two I've probably updated on the most. I have a poll up on my fanfiction profile that asks which older story people would like me to complete first. So far, Of Old Gods and Archaeologists is in the lead with three votes. So, drop by and vote if you've got a minute.
On original fiction, well I'd really like to work on some Dark Mistress...but guess what? What I have of my re-write is on the harddrive of my failed computer...which Preston has and can't get it off without some such cord. I think he just keeps forgetting to do it. Which is fine...you know, it's not like life or death or anything, and there are more important things that I need him to do. Oh! And I put up a chapter of The Dilemma of House Wraithwood...so, if you haven't read it yet--and you know who you are--go do it! I'd really like some feedback on the small developments of the story so far. And, you know, I'm a review whore, so...
Oh, and on my goal of reaching 100 fanfics up before the end of this semester...I'm at 86...may not make it, but I've gonna get damn close. Well, wish me luck on papers and writing everyone! And good luck to all those going through the same end of semester hell!
Gone to eat,
Trish

Fanfiction.net Just Needs to Hire Me
Okay, so I've sent in two character lists to that site and gotten them both added. In both cases, however, they've refused to add OC (original character) to the lists. However, in times passed, I asked for OC to be added to all the subsections in the book category with a pull-down menu. And they did.
So I'm going to use Slink for my plans and have her start emailing these people. Sigh.
As for real life...blah. Had a great weekend with Preston this past weekend. However, I have two papers fast approaching...both of which I really have no subject for. Blah. Well, I'm off!
