    <content type="html">A question to all those high school seniors and/or college students (who have been through this obviously):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So. Are AP courses really all that important? Like, is it a must for somebody to take 5 AP classes to look good enough for a good college (I'm &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; talking Ivy League) to accept them? You know? Cause, I only have 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I mean, I guess, the biggest problem is that I dropped AP US history. Which would have given me 2 APs (that plus English. So 2). But. Last year I really couldn't handle APUS. My end of the year grade was B-. Way too close for comfort. But, you know. Right now, I'm just bushed and confused and really very depressed. Help?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...:(</content>

That burned). And now my time will be composed of my summer homework for school (Moby Dick essay wtf) and juggling family issues as well as reviewing all my summer school work so I don't up and drop it like third period Spanish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've opted to make my entires short. Minus the LJ cuts. As if anybody reads them anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah and thanks to &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='howsockgothappy' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://howsockgothappy.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://howsockgothappy.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;howsockgothappy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for replying to my cry for a beta last post. I'll think about it, you seem cool (it's just that right now I've been so wiped out I don't have much of anything for you to read yet). =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lagging on the fics. I know. I &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt;. (It's okay &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='lilalohari' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://lilalohari.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://lilalohari.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;lilalohari&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Take your time on your art too. I still have to catch up XP).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I should go online more often?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I FINISHED TRINITY BLOOD (THE ANIME). &lt;a name="cutid2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay. So what...happened? I mean, keep in mind that I didn't read the manga nor the novel. So maybe it's okay to be a little in the dark here but if anything it was the plot holes that made my want to rip my hair out. None of the characters were developed at all and the ending...what &lt;i&gt;was&lt;/i&gt; that? People were given two minutes of screen time and then hacked to pieces. Or blown up. Or a combo of the two. The only one that faired slightly well was Ion (Minagawa Junko!) and okay sure, Esther was really nicely drawn and Abel was adorable but really. Really. Besides that, the storyline was poorly constructed. They rushed too much and explained too little. Things jumped. AND THEY KILLED DIETRICH. HUH. At least people didn't all get eaten like in Hellsing. Oh Gonzo how you BS sometimes.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Well. It certainly wasn't as good as I thought it'd be. Though the beautiful people make me squirm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cousins and relatives coming tomorrow! It's gonna be crowded here. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Project Runway last night = omglove.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OKAY USA. &amp;hearts;</content>

    <content type="html">...but first: a friending meme with a twist. Because (a) a lack of things to do on my part and (b) my body fails to function after ten thousand hours of summer school. Thus this. But also because I'm just curious. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Name:&lt;br /&gt;Age:&lt;br /&gt;Fandoms Currently In:&lt;br /&gt;Other things you like (hobbies, cosplay, music, movies, tv, books, whatever):&lt;br /&gt;What's in your journal?:&lt;br /&gt;Friends Only? Public? What?:&lt;br /&gt;Anything else you want to say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also! I've been signing up for various crazy fiction writing related communities/challenges (most of which I hope to progress at least somewhat in). Some of them are fan fiction, some of them are original fiction. And the thing is, I'd really like a beta reader (I mean, not only do you get to undergo continual torture from my so-called pieces of literature, we'll also get to know each other and bugger the heck out of one another. Sounds FUN huh poppet?). If you'd only like to do original fiction (I write...a vast amount of things although I usually stick with normal fiction with a sprinkle of fantasy on occasion), that's fine. I could settle with one beta for fan fiction and one for original fiction. Or if you'd like to do both, great. Hearts to you. Basically, I'd just like feedback and suggestions. Constructive criticism. The works.</content>

I was sick. Everything that went into my mouth came right back out - although in a much less desirable fashion. And I didn't lose any weight. I gained nothing for my suffering (cue sad!omgnoes face).&lt;br /&gt;B. It was a sweltering 13589475 degrees outside and inside. NYC: &lt;strike&gt;screwing you over&lt;/strike&gt; BBQing you alive since 1892.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I've been writing two different original pieces (one of which I will have to pick for NaNoWriMo soon) and I've been thinking that maybe I'll post them? No clue guys - who likes to read original (e)fiction?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Jaise!Fandomland news, yes - I know Ouran 15 is out and subbed but I'm saving it for tomorrow (when I'm in a good mood) when I'm not this exhausted. I want to enjoy myself darn it, not be in such a zombie like state. Like now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually kind of want to play KHII. Why does everything have to cost so much in America? Or on the other hand: why does Asian culture restrict the purchase of items to only when they are on sale?...like six years later? Oh my heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally fixed up the profile page a bit. Still not too happy with it. Will tweak later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...so who here likes to cosplay? And do any of you live near NYC? The Eastcoast? Anywhere that's not someplace not here (woah)? &lt;small&gt;Cause. You know. I'd love to cosplay. In a group. I can't do this alone. It's like world domination. Tis not a one man show, yo.&lt;/small&gt;</content>

But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.” &lt;br /&gt;– Ernest Hemmingway&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately at night, Kaoru lies on his back and listens to his city suffer. His eyes fixate on the ceiling, disrupted only occasionally by the brief quiver of a blink, his pupils blank, unreadable. He folds his arms back to pillow his head as his ears strain, listening to the sounds of the unfortunate outside on the streets: the shrieking of cars, of glass, people. He feels thankful that he has the loft, although it really isn’t much. There is a young couple that lives above him whom he has never met face to face. They argue and he hears the pounding of fists against flesh against walls. He thinks it strange how their two spheres of living, separated only by a thin layer of plaster, could seem so far apart, yet so very much the same. Their torment after all is not so different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes he thinks he can hear the streetlights flicker on, bathing the pavement in a film of faux gold glowing. He thinks he can hear the soft pitter-patter of rain before it starts, pulsing deep within the lynching clouds. He has learned to read this man-tainted Mother Nature well. Manhattan is different than Tokyo, he thinks. The buildings here are world weary, tired, their backbones sagging from years of storm and smog. Their windows have lost the ability to reflect the sun’s radiance, lost the energy, enthusiasm. The sun itself has given up too and gone into hiding. The society here has lost something, he can feel it, blatant like the gaping chasm of a monster’s mouth; the men here wear their suits like scars and lug their briefcases like confessions; the women wrap black-market furs about their heroin thin bodies, smoke, drink. The people here do not cry. Theirs is a silent, selfish anguish. Kaoru thinks he can feel it eat away at the mind, soul, until nothing’s left. Strife seeps through the walls and binds the bones of those who live within, shackling them down, representing the embodiment of a self-made prison. Money cannot save you here. Lineage cannot redeem you here. You have to fight on your own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And at twenty-one, Kaoru’s learning. He’s only been here for a year for college and already he can feel himself falling victim to this Aryan cosmopolitan toxin. He’s changed, he thinks. His limbs, although still lanky, are longer, curved with an oddly seductive feminine curve; an idiosyncrasy he has always been able to master. The T-shirts and jeans, earrings, shorts and tanks have been replaced with Armani and ties and designer sunglasses. He walks now with long, hesitant strides as if his bones were crushed down by some intangible weight, some heavy unseen fetter compiled and compiled from too many years of growing up too quick. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaoru turns onto his side, the sheets kicked away. Nights go too slow now. Days go too fast. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the draft letter came. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It had been uncalled for, unpredictable, like everything else in this country. He was too young, he thought. A man can’t become a soldier so quickly; for god’s sake he was still a boy. For hours he had sat and read the letter – once twice, three times but his name in that fancy typecast ink did not smear away and neither did the required duty bound to it. Hikaru told him it was probably a joke from the neighborhood kids but Kaoru knew there was no way anyone could forge the National government’s insignia like that. He knew also that his brother knew too. He could tell by how his brother came home early now from his part time job four blocks down the street. He could tell in how Hikaru tried to hide the way his voice was laced by a trembling fear, that yes, he too was terrified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That had been a week ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, evening laces the sky with her fabulous star-burst dress and Kaoru throws open each of the windows, trying in a futile attempt to entice in a non-existent breeze. The scent of gasoline and burned rubber singes his nostrils. Summer was not slaving only to the sun after all and the air outside still looks to be trembling with heat, swaying amongst the backdrop of cheap neon lights. Yawning he slinks over to the sink to join his brother in washing the dishes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Go to bed, I’ll do the rest here,” Kaoru suggests, trying to sound responsible but in reality only concerned about his expensive china in Hikaru’s less than competent fingers. But his brother doesn’t reply. So Kaoru stares at his brother’s face so as not to see the uniform that had been mailed from the enlistment office, and now sitting against the door. It has been ignored successfully for the past forty-eight hours and Kaoru wanted to keep it that way.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What?” Hikaru asks after a while finally, sounding exasperated as he puts the plate in his hands down so hard the corner chips. His eyes, once so young, so filled with invincible light look dulled tonight, fatigued. Time has not spared him either. He has lost the will to hold up his spine now it seems, lost the arrogant saunter, the up-turned nose. The move to America had been particularly hard on him. Kaoru winces. “Nothing,” he says, “You’ve just got that look on your face that tells me you’re either really pissed or you’re about to do something extremely stupid. Or all of the above.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hikaru clicks his tongue but his almost angry expression starts to soften. Lately, he hasn’t been able to keep his temper too long whether it be in fury or calm. Kaoru shakes his head and mutters half-jokingly, “Oh god, it is all of the above isn’t it?” and feels relieved when Hikaru snorts out a laugh. They never seem to laugh enough anymore, Kaoru thinks, at least not really. Their smiles never seem to kiss their eyes either, never seem to light the pupils. Their lips quirk up, but the joy never really pinches the cheeks, never not strained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t worry about it,” Hikaru replies as he wipes his hands on the towel, looking nonchalant. It’s taken a while but ever since college, emotions haven’t plagued Hikaru as much as when they were sixteen. No longer does his brain drudge in black in white, numbers and systems; no longer does his heart fear feeling. He’s capable of securing a reign on both pathos and ardor, though Kaoru knows his twin still retains an awful loose grip at all the worst times. This is one of those times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have it all figured out, the draft thing,” Hikaru says, though he doesn’t look triumphant at all. Just a little sad. Straightening the dishes in the drying rack, Kaoru asks, “Yeah?” and puts a hand on his hip. “Well great, when you put it that way now I’m exceptionally worried. What are you gonna do – jump the Pentagon?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hikaru makes a face and jeers back without malice. Kaoru flings another nipping joke. Their almost childish banter continues nimble and well-practiced. Chuckles turn into playful shoving, turn into a bundle of tackles, bear-hugs, and tickling. Kaoru howls in joy as they roll about on the floor in a mess of bliss, obliviousness, feelings once fled under the oppression of their slaughtered youth. Sprawled out on the floor, stomachs and sides aching, the two of them stare up and wait for their lungs to catch up to them. Outside, the nightly traffic screeches and beeps, almost lively – not so hurtful anymore at least, for now. Kaoru feels flushed and closes his eyes, still gasping, as his feels his brother pounce lazily atop him. Strong arms pin him down and a cheek nuzzles against his neck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thinks he hears Hikaru say, “God I’m gonna miss you.” He think he replies, “Me too. We won’t be apart long,” but he doubts it. War after all, makes no promises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eyes fluttering close, he listens as the insomniac city outside rages in the summer night. He feels the moon hang with suicidal grace, reluctant to bear the credence of the sun’s mighty glare. He feels this horrible world ending, a slow, raw death. He hears humanity scream out in pain as it crushes itself beneath its own sorrow, its regret from wasted opportunities. But he feels too, familiar hands slide up beneath his shirt, chilling his burning flesh with the touch of affection, a certain arctic danger coursing through his veins. He feels his brother press closer against him, tempting. Together they shiver, tasting a sinful sensation they had not visited since they were foolishly sixteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“C’mon,” Hikaru dares, quietly, a whisper, a cheated promise. A thumb brushes against the plush of Kaoru’s lips. And that’s all it takes. “You’re never going to forgive me,” he hears but he could care less what that meant now. Fingernails against waists, their lips collide. Their bodies crash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning, Kaoru wakes up alone, tender and aching, tangled in the blanket from the sofa, on the floor. He sits up. Cold. The uniform and the letter are gone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;END.&lt;/b&gt;</content>

But now that time's passed and secrets are found out and familiarized, accepted, whatever, it seems like the relationship is waning. Waning in a bad way. Waning like the Northern Americans were to the end of Reconstruction in the South after the Civil War - the overall feeling of: "I just don't care anymore. Bye." Nobody did anything wrong though. No stimulus really. But hey, you two were everything to each other. Back then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So. What would you do? Should you just...let it go? Shrug and say the same thing? "Sure, whatever. Moving on." I mean, is it easy like that? I'm curious. Because it hurts kind of. Kind of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I care for someone, I love too much, too hard. Is this bad?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In short:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear society and your peoples,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You drive me crazy. Gee.

    <content type="html">If somebody ever told you that writing was easy, somebody lied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In layman's terms, I have never had this much trouble with a fic before. I can barely get past the first page coherently and everything is in bits and pieces (albiet: big paragraphs though. Just ones that don't seem to connect with good transitions). I'm completely disappointed with the things I'm churing out though while struggling today I think I might be going somewhere (a retarted somewhere maybe) although it's now completely deviating from what I had originally planned. I hate it when this happens. Because then I have to mull over the idea for a while and wait for it to ferment before cooking and serving. You know what I mean? No, maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you realized that I'm a &lt;strike&gt;totally OCD, completely obsessive&lt;/strike&gt; perfectionist? If you haven't, you probably live on Mars. Or some other arbitrary planet. Like Pluto. Which is even better because it's not even an actual &lt;i&gt;planet&lt;/i&gt;. It's like, a &lt;i&gt;rock&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So. I was going to promise a fic next posting. I might be able to keep that promise but then again, chances are, I might not either. It's not easy, people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I love it. Heaven knows I do. &amp;hearts;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just don't love the &lt;strike&gt;self-inflicted&lt;/strike&gt; torture usually involved all that much.</content>

    <content type="html">Ah boy. Today when I was blow drying my hair, the blow-dryer blew up (okay actually it more like popped) on me and started to smoke. Now I smell like burnt plastic. And I need a blow-dryer (like heck I'm going to touch that thing ever again. It'll take out my eye next).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I've been writing (a little). We'll see what comes out - either something good and worthy of a beer fest or something bad enough to shove me off a cliff (kids, don't try this at home. It may be hazardous to your health and overall well being).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also. Interestingly enough, I think if I was a guy, I'd probably be Bi. Hm.</content>
