jukeboxhound_backupHappy belated Fourth of July to you all, even though I know a disturbing number of Americans don't know why we really celebrate.
The next chapter for Lucem Ferre is nearly complete. I've also the first chapter and part of the second for Clockwork Noir finished, too, though I'm going to wait on updating that one until I feel it's up to par (which I don't). The first chapter of The Divine Comedy is nearly done, I think. Meh, can't remember right now, it's on the computer in my bedroom.
That's about all, really. I finished the novel Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman, and I really loved it. It's like a twisted Alice in Wonderland. I wish I could write like Mr. Gaiman. *sighs* He also does the Sandman comic series, as well as Mr. Punch, The Wolves in the Walls, Smoke and Mirrors, American Gods, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, Black Orchid, and others I can't remember off the top of my head, in both comics and fantasy novels. He collaborates a lot with Dave McKean, too, that artist I really like, and even did a graphic novel with Yoshitaka Amano (the creator of Final Fantasy VII) called The Sandman--the Dream Hunters.
Hmm, I'll shut up now. Teen Titans is nearly on, anyway, and I'm kinda hungry. And tired. Hope the rest of you have a good evening.

Date: 2005-07-08 03:19 am (UTC)Meh, sorry. Actually, I did read Good Omens--which was bad, because I started laughing in the midle of class. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had teachers take my books away.
Thanks. *blushes* Emotional things, and stuff. After seeing War of the Worlds, I was moping and depressed the rest of the day (once I start crying, I can't stop, no matter what it was that upset me in the first place), and my boyfriend was worried and kinda hurt that I went home instead of letting him make me feel better. *sighs* He feels useless if he doesn't know how to help me, and I'm so used to having to handle things on my own that I CAN'T tell him how to help, because I don't know. o.0 And you know how people can sit and tell each other how much they love one another, how much they care, blah blah blah...? I can't. No, really, I physically CAN'T. The words get all stuck, whether I'm talking to my boyfriend or my best friend or even my own family. I don't know why...it sounds all dramatic and whatnot, but I'm not making this up. When I try to explain how I'm feeling, I either get angry or distant or start making jokes to try and distract the other person, or avoid the subject altogether.
...sorry. Just rambling. Ignore me if you want.
You said you went to a friend's house--how was it? What'd you guys do? Have any fun?
Oh, and I made dinner for my family for the first time tonight. Corn, salad, and chicken roll things (where you stuff chicken breasts with stuffing and roll them up). It was pretty good, actually, and for someone who's usually hopeless at cooking...
