Go awaaaay, stubborn cold!
I think my nose has been sniffly in addition to a cough for just over a week now. I start working 5 days a week again, starting tomorrow. The temperature will be climbing up to the 50's by then. Spring is finally here.
I'll catch up with you on my friends list once I'm feeling much, much better.
Last week I finished watching all of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and brought back my old muses of my most favorite characters. Zuko's voice came clearest to me last night for role play since I finished reading this very good fan fiction on fanfiction.net. Actually it's an on-going trilogy that follows the events going on in the series. The original character's very interesting, and ends up causing such an impact on Zuko. I have a similar idea for my own story but my own twist will be different. I'm adding these person who was banished (along with the rest of her people) from Avatar Earth, and she's felt the need to interfere to somehow have a hand in saving that world while saving another from another kind of evil...
Make that two OCs I've come up with, but the time bender, Lilta, only appears around the beginning. She'll be back towards the end of the first story. It's the normal person from our world, Kendra, who's going to wind up in Avatar world. Might as well split this first part into a trilogy based on the series' events! I hope to actually accomplish this idea 'cause I like it a lot.
I'm not giving up on my Death Note stories though! I'veonly been struggling with them. D: I want to do more for that chapter of Crawl, but I haven't had the mindset to get into Angsty Light's POV for a while now...

onedeadplotbunny soon. It's been weeks.)
Not a whole lot has been going on. My mom and I still love going to see our friends and play board games with them on every other Friday night. There's this really good 2 to 4 player tile game that's a cross between the Uno card game and this rummy style tile game I've played called Rummikub. In Rummikub, if someone's placed 4 in a set, you can arrange someone's set (without breaking it) to make a set of your own. In Uno Rummy-Up, you get to do the same thing, but there are tiles that allow you to take extra turns. (The wild tile is the cruelest towards the opponents since when that comes into play, the person selected has to draw four tiles, mwahahaha...)
Two friends, Mom, and myself have played Uno Rummy-Up and we love it. Our friend Allan introduced Rummikub, and I believe he would enjoy this game that's similar to it.
Haha, on a random note, in the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle video game you get to raise these creatures called Chaos. I have a yellow one and I named it after Alan since he usually picks yellow as a playable color if it's available in board games. (I've yet to mention to this to Alan. Maybe I should take a picture of this on my TV and show it to him, lol.)
It's an on-going thing, teasing him because he always prefers yellow as his color. It's hilarious because he's hilarious. He's very witty. Sometimes some of us joke that around him that if he goes traveling to see friends or family that we'll have a party and paint over all the yellow pieces in his games...
Since April Fool's Day is coming up, I think I'll write about the time in which Mom and I really got Alan good, some years ago. It's a memory that still gets me chuckling when thinking back on it. I think we've been in this meetup group for over six to seven years now, whoa! Time sure does fly!
The game that's one of his all time favorites is one called Cosmic Encounters. I never got a chance to play it yet and kind of forget what it's about, other than the players choosing to play a single type of alien race with their own abilities. (I think it's 2-4 players, and because there's usually five to six who show up at the meetups, I never got the chance to play this game yet. It seems really interesting. D:)
Mom came up with the idea I went along with of printing out a fake Amazon.com page about a sequel game in which you can play with your pet cat(s)--because Allan is also a cat person. He has two beautiful ones named Prince and Posh.
Alan was genuinely convinced "Cosmic Encounters 2" was real! I wasn't expecting that to happen. Mom's not a computer expert exactly. I'm not either, and I thought he would've found out it was fake. That he would have spotted something off while looking through what we handed to him--but it didn't happen. We actually told him it was fake long after showing him the pages.
He was such good sport about this, too. He was both surprised and amused! I remember Mom and I laughing so much after talking about it on the way home. I also remember cracking up while telling Dad that our little prank was a success. I had to stop and wait for my laughing to die down so he could hear me clearly.

Spring is supposedly here on this side of the Atlantic too. The weather doesn't seem to have picked up on that idea though :(
Did I mention that I've now seen the whole of A:TLA? I loved it. Iroh is still my favourite even though he has less screen time in season 3. A friend of mine told me that the person who originally voiced him died half-way through season 2 and that the episode where he's mourning his lost son was made as a memorial for him :'(
I played an early edition of Cosmic Encounters when I was a teenager, years ago. I remember liking it (and that there were aliens) but other than that I don't remember anything at all. Have to try it again some time.
Happy writing! I hope your muses are kind to you :)

Whaaat? Really? Now I get why there's that message at the end of that episode... Iroh's a great character.
So far I know Zuko muse has been cooperating. Actually he's eager to get back into action and do some good. On the RP post on Dear Mun he was basically telling me to hurry up and do something with him. Haha, he'd deny it of course. *grinnnn* If you ever get into RP, my Zuko muse could always use his uncle's support.
I've yet to watch more The Legend of Korra sometime. I've only seen all of the first season so far, and it's interesting that there's a character from further into the sequel series my Zuko's met. They've been chatting about some of what Zuko's been through at my musebox, including his friendship with my muse of Angelus (from the PS2 game I have called Drakengard). Aww, Zuko cares very much about her. So sweet.
