Just a Little Update

Well, like the title suggests, just a quick update on the Trishverse. I've gotten a couple more publication credits under my belt, and I have several big projects coming. Their codenames are as follows: TWoC, AS, LE, UntitledWBR, TOoLS, HoR:E, and DMatLoL. Four of these (and yes, I've double checked the spelling, despite how funny a couple of those look, lol) have solid deadlines in this year. While three of them are strictly an "all me" type of thing. Plus the list (literally) of smaller deadlines to meet this year. These, by the way, are my original, publishable goals. I still have my fanfiction ones.

And those fanfiction goals are to finish two of my currently running fics by mid-October to mid-November, Trials and The Funny Thing About Keys. And, along with that, start three--four when Trials is done-new fanfics. Yes, they do just keep coming. Oh, and then there's the current fanfiction thing I'm doing. See, Twisting the Hellmouth, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer xover site has a thing going called the August Fic-A-Day Challenge. One fanfiction between 300-3k each day. And chapters to a single fic don't count. So far, I'm 3/4--as it is now past midnight. Don't worry, though, that fourth one is still there. Oh, and I still need 10 fics to fill up the end of this month. So if anyone has got any Buffy xovers with shows/movies/books they'd like to see, let me hear them.

Outside of writing, Preston has nearly gotten everything set up for his school. All that's left is to get the people at the college to give him a date to come down and finish up. I think he even knows what he's getting back. As for me? Well, I'm still trying to find a small job to work until the move.

Well, now that you're all caught up, I'll leave you with this:

Songs that Make Me Think of Severus Snape:
"It's Not Me" by 3 Doors Down
"My Sweet Prince" by Placebo
"Poison Prince" by Amy MacDonald
"Dance with the Devil" by Breaking Benjamin (To be fair, this one reminds me of a lot of my favorite characters... and now that I think of it, this applies to the first one on this list too.)
"All Around Me" by Flyleaf

Give these a listen for youself! Oh, and Savvy, although the banner at the top of this post was made for one of my very, very embarassingly older fanfics, I thought of you when I made it.

Things That I Still Have to Tell Myself Really Happened

This post isn't meant to be depressing or anything, lol. It was just that I was looking back over my blog at some things I talked about...and I had the thought, "Oh, yeah, that wasn't just a figment of my imagination." Here are some examples:

The Last Harry Potter Book-- There are times when I look up and think, despite myself, "When's the next HP book coming out?" Then I have to remind myself that that's done, over, fin. I miss HP, dearly, but I'm not one of those who's like "There should be a prequel!!" or something. I totally get why she stopped there. It's a perfect end that feels like an end...I just have to remember that it happened.

The Fact that I'm 23-- ...I don't like it...but it's real. But I wouldn't want to be a kid again either...like, maybe just 21, okay?

College Graduation-- I know that two of my friends have already experienced this...so, this is more of a question. Did you guys ever have to convince yourself that it's really happening? That you DON'T have a semester or something left?

Michael Jackson's Death-- Yeah, yeah. I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing me mention this, but one more time, huh? I just can't believe I didn't dream it all...it feels...faraway, you know?

I'm Living with my Fiance-- I just feel all mature with this one.

That Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been off the air for six years-- *sniffle* Why? It was so good? At least we have the comics...

That Darkwing Duck is an 18-year-old cartoon-- Okay, really gonna cry here...makes me feel so old...and makes me lose even more faith in the cartoons of today...

That I'm getting married a little over a year from now-- This one just inspires a bit of panic...not at the prospect of being married, but at the prospect of paying to be married...

So, that's it for me...I'm sure there's more, but I think that's enough to go on. So, any of you guys got things that make you feel this way?
