The Muse Is In

Sooo... why has UK been mysteriously absent from so many places? Well, lots of things have been happening IRL, including some very hot sexxors of her own. =P I have found the perfect man for me - sweet, kind, caring, forgetful, loving, sexy, blue-eyed, understanding, scary when needs be, and very mellow and did I mention he cares about me? o.o; Yes, I do believe I did. We have now been dating for three months (it's been that long?) and everything is smooth sailing!

I have also been playing D&D. A lot. And making a homebrew Harry Potter based on the d20 system, which I'll gladly give to anyone who would like to try it. =) I have yet to decide where my players (boyfriend, boyfriend's brother, and my own baby bro) will be playing - pre-Voldy War 1, during Voldy War 1, between Voldy War 1 and 2, during Harry Potter's years, or post Voldy War 2. Really tempted to do it during and find out how much they change the original timeline, especially considering they are mostly unknowledgeable of the HP universe. But adding three additional boys... I may be able to convince my boyfriend to play a girl. o.o;

Anyways, outside of all that, I've been painting like a mad woman (sadly no HP art, planning one now, though) and studying just as hard. Biology is still kicking my arse. WHO decided that teachers needed advanced Biology?! The kind where dissecting goes on?! Rawrs!

Funny enough, I'm acing my Physics class. No surprise there.

I've been drawn into playing FarmVille with my mother, the elder little brother, my dad, my boyfriend's dad, my boyfriend's mom, and several folk from the church-that-formerly-was-mine.

I'm teetering between going back and seeing if God still hates me. =P

Also been cleaning house. House is clean. o.o; It is an accomplishment with three lazy men, seven dogs, and eight cats. ^^; Going camping for fall break at the Crater of Diamonds. =D

Anyways, when I've got some time I'll be reading/reviewing again... and hopefully working on Devil's Game more than fleshing out my timelines. XD

Love you all very very very much!

Hey, guys, my school has begun and I'm totally in over my head in Biology. @__@ Soooo... I shall prolly have to go on Internetz Hiatus for a little bit, till I get used to my schedule more. I am quite enjoying my new Art class, though (Intermediate Watercolor) and I shall prolly be posting paintings on dA soon. ;)

Also... here is an uber-cute Snarry that I thought ya'll might enjoy!!

SNARRY COMIC!!

Hey, ya'll, bet you're all wondering what the heck the REAL UK looks like. Well... I just uploaded a video that my ex taped and edited in which I played an odd British commercial host. There is a bit of a dirty joke in it, but it's rated like PG-13 ish. More like PG, but I wanna be careful. =P

The girl with the "Stupid People" grey t-shirt is me.

And yes, we really did that to my bathroom.

I finally decided to join the On-line Wizarding Library (otherwise known as OWL) after reading how much fun Miss miamadwyn was having as a Gryffindor. However, because I like playing by the rules more than anything, I decided to take the test listed and see which house I ended up in. It actually determined that I was quite borderline between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, but more Ravenclaw. So, here are my shiny new badgeless Ravenclaw robes:

Also, I just got back the Story Val on TPP =). Devil's Game chapter is up and ready for reading pleasure!

Okay, ya'll might find me a little weird after this, so fair warning, lol. The TWO boyfriends total that I have ever been with kinda just fell in my lap. I never went on what one would really call a date. My first bf was homeless, so we hung out at work (where I met him) until we moved in together because I'm an idiot who can't keep herself from helping people I care about out. ^^; The second bf was a friend who became a boyfriend.

So I've never really been on what one would call a "first date" in the traditional sense, ie, you meet up somewhere, or he picks you up, and you go out somewhere to get to know one another a little better.

I went on my first date eva last night with a very kind man I met online through a personals site. I was a little apprehensive about meeting him (we've chatted maybe twice on the compy), but once I did it was like insta-click. If I believed in love at first sight, it'd be something like this. Our auras just meshed, and we sat in Starbucks and talked and talked and talked for like six hours. o.o I didn't even realize how much time had passed till the sun went down. XD

And then we went to the movies at the drive-in and chatted MORE. I'm SO GLAD to have found someone who will yell at the characters/director with me without looking at me like I'm retarded/insane.

We've agreed to be friends first because I'm insanely overprotective of my heart after the last two boyfriends and he's a little wary, too.

=) Still can't help but grin whenever I think about him. And that's happening a lot lately. ^^;

Anyways, the other reason I decided to post today is that I spent the past six hours or so doing my very first Photo manip in GIMP. And I wanted to share it. I decided to just make a banner thingie for Devil's Game, so I might end up using it. Here's the linkie: Devil's Game Banner

Soooo... I felt like writing a short snapshot of my favorite (and oldest OCs) couple, Bridget Wolf and Jirkle. Just to mention, Jirkle is extremely tall (like 6'6") and has pale blue hair, blue eyes, tanned skin, bat-wing ears with red smiley tattoos, and a rubber ducky tattoo on his chest. He also has a tail with fire on the end. Bri is short (5'1") with short brown hair, gold eyes, and is completely human. Her face is rather round for someone so slender.

Anyways, here it is.

The Demon Within

Jirkle slid in between the soft jersey sheets of the bed, trapping Bri's short legs to the mattress with his hips. She reached up between them and pulled at his bat-wing ears lovingly. They were ridged around the edges, smooth skin and hot leather all at once. The tattooed red smiley face on the right undulated under her touch.

"Ducky, don't do that," he murmured softly.

"Why?" she asked, wide-eyedly curious.

"Because I don't know what will happen if you set me off," he said, nuzzling down between her pert breasts. "I am a demon, lest you forgot."

"Oh, I haven't forgotten at all." She lifted her hips into his and stroked the spot directly at the base of one ear.

Bri Wolf did not show up for class the next morning. She didn't give a damn.

Sooo I completed the other two prompts for hpcon_envy and figured I should prolly link the rest of ya'll up in case you're not already following the fun. By the way, if you like Harry Potter at all, you should really check out what these women can dish up. Especially lulabelle72, geminiscorp, and miamadwyn. I'm prolly forgetting a slew of folk.

Anyways, the links are (because I'm being lazy):

How Teddy Helped Defeat Lord Voldemort. Sort Of.

Bottlecaps

The first one is the TeddyLupin/LilyEvans ficlet, How Teddy Helped Defeat Lord Voldemort. Sort Of, more a general fic than romance. The other one is Bottlecaps, which is a Lucius/Luna gentle romance. And of course, a lil down on my own page is the Kingsley/Hermione ficlet, Coffee Shop. I still like that one best, I think. =)

As for news on Devil's Game, I've FINALLY gotten through the sticky scene with Severus that was causing me such grief. I'm writing a mile a minute through that again, thank the gods. The newest chapter is in the queue (numba 11, last I checked) on www.thepetulantpoetess.com. I think ya'll are going to like plotting, scheming Mione. I know I do.

In other news (gee, I'm just full of news tonight!), I myself am scheming up something. I am slowly going to build up my way to getting out of my parents' house. As much as I love them (my mom especially), I am going insane with their restrictive rules. >.> Supposed to be a grown woman and I can't even decide when I want to leave the house. Or if I can date. I miss having my own place. Soooo... going to buy a car and a cell phone and then I'll see if I can afford the 400 dollars for the studio apartment I found plus food. (The apartment pays all the other bills like electric and water and trash.) Ugh. I need a job.

And yeah, I told my mom that I wanted to move out and I wanted to see if she would continue to help. Uhhh... she refused. >.> In fact, she got all "I gonna disown you if you leave!" on me again. Yeah. Didn't happen last time when I moved 1500 miles away. Doubt it'll happen when I move ten. Still, I'd rather stand on my own two feet, dammit.

School is going okay. I just finished a test on Thursday, but I felt uber ill afterward so I skipped my lab. >.> Yeah, yeah, beat me up, I already do it to myself. I haven't missed a single class all summer. 15 points isn't going to kill a 1000 point grade.

I wants to visit my Stephie. D=

ZOMG I am sooooo excited ya'll! So, ever since the Harry Potter movies came out I've been absolutely DYING to go the a midnight showing. I've never been able to because of school. Well, since my class is in the afternoon this time around (no small amount of thank you gods and goddesses that my baby bro wants to go this time, too), I get to go!

Yeah, I just had to wait through five movies.

I'm BOUNCING in my seat with happy happy giddy glee!

Okay, details for how this came about: Apparently, the Starlight Drive-In here in town is giving a midnight showing on a first-come, first serve basis. We live just down the street from them, so we'll be leaving about ten minutes before they start letting folk in. I have money (for once in my life) and an open vehicle (also for once in my life).

It is now five minutes to ten. They start letting people in... in about an hour and a half.

SQUEE!

Soooo, basically, I saw this prompt right before heading into Chem class and it just exploded in the back of my head the whole time I was SUPPOSED to be focusing on balancing redox equations. So, this is for you, gelsey. And for the other lovely ladies who were eager to see what I'd do with it.

As usual, un-beta-ed.

Soooo ya'll have basically figured me out by now that I tend to be a little bit of a ranter, a little bit of a complainer (okay, a lot of that), a hard worker, and a pretty decent friend when I have friends.

First off, I want to wish one of my lovely flist people's a happy birthday. Happy birthday, cinnamon_honey!!

Second of all, I've been bouncing about doing some ficlet work around the lj community (the reason I haven't been doing my drabbles...>.>) and I'm looking for a beta who knows something about smut. I'm not talking about grammar here. Just... I need someone to look over and tell me if I've done it right. o_o Because I'm utterly terrified of posting it on the hpexchange and learning later that it sucks horribly. >.>

I'll X-post that here when I do post it, so no worries. =)

The rest of this post is really me being frustrated with my situation.

( Soooo...Collapse )

Skip it if you want.

Plus, I'm kinda stuck on Devil's Game again. Severus isn't complying with the plan. >.>
