I need an older version of The Gimp..can anybody help? ;.; I have a windows 98, so I can't use 2.4.2, which is what's available on download.com. ;.;

I need, like, 2.0 or something.

FF.net is broken. ;.; I can't get my fanfiction fix. NOT COOL, FF.NET. NOT COOL. D:

Holy crap..

So I was reading my email..and I have so many emails about people adding fanfic "He loves me, he loves me not" to their favorites. Like. All the time.

So I was thinking "What's the big deal about it? It sucks. I rushed into the romance of it, and it just..sucks."

So then I was like "Hey wait. If that many people liked it when it sucked, wonder how many would like it if I rewrote it and made it better? Changed the plot a little bit, perhaps?"

So yeah. I think that's what I'm going to do. I have a few ideas..I'm not active in the Pokemon fandom much anymore (I never really was active..well..okay, yeah, I was active, when I was like..13. But that was 4 years ago.), so this should be fun.W

LSKDJFSdf. I need to write. Really badly. I'm thinking of copying down the prompts from 1sentence and writing some Tokka sentences during school, but..yeah..it's school..I should be learning..xD Not that that'll ever happen, though..me..learning in school..ROFL..that's a good one.

I wanna help write something, maybe. Maybe a long fic. Cause I've never written one before, and guess what - I suck at it. xD I never can think of a plot. <_<;

GAHHHH. I NEEEED FICCAGE.

NARUTO FICCAGE.

So. I read this one fanfic, and in it, Sakura got Kakashi's eye (Obito's old eye). It was really good. HOWEVER. IT WASNT DONE. And it's been like, abandoned.

Anybody know of any other fics like this? D: <3

Inactivity as of late..

2007-12-09T20:33:19Z

PEOPLE WERENT KIDDING WHEN THEY SAID THAT JUNIOR YEAR WAS A BIATCH. D:

Yeah. That's my lame excuse for being so inactive. @____@ To any and all communities or friends or anybody who reads this: IMSORRY ;.;<3<3

Hrm.

2007-09-30T18:51:38Z

Y'know what I hate?

When I can't decide what I want to read.

@______@;;

I want a good Harry Potter fic. With OCs maybe. Oh, and you know, if you could find me a good third generation HP (You know, scorpius, rose, and all of those little ones) fic that IS NOT Albus Potter/Scorpius Malfoy..it'd be great.

Alternatively, I'm bored.

Gahhh. I want to write a fic. ;; However, I suck at writing fics. And I don't want to screw this one up.

Help meee. ;;

I need ideas for this fic idea thing I have:

(WARNING: DEATHLY HALLOWS SPOILERS BELOW. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. AND STUFF.)

So. My fic would be in Heaven, and Sirius, Remus, James, Lily, Fred, and Tonks and everybody would be there..and it'd be about what they did while they were in Heaven. And Snape can be there too, I s'pose.

I need ideas. INSPIRE ME, DANGIT.

Oh, and I'm trying to figure a way to make it so that the group can look down from heaven and see everything that's going on down on Earth (like, watching Harry and stuff).

Joy.

2007-09-28T01:54:40Z

Oh, joy. Tuesday at practice I fell down the stairs (SHUT UP NO LAUGHING) with my drum on and I like, twisted my ankle. I thought it was okay, but today's thursday, and it still hurts.

Joy. I might've sprained it.

It hurts to walk up the stairs. ;;

I'm still going to march, though - wild horses couldn't drag me away from the marching band.

So uh, limited time on the computer due to the fact that my foot is killing me whenever I try to come upstairs to get on the computer. D: <3

Iluall though. <3

(Oh, and a shout out to all my fellow Hufflepuffs out there. ;D I got sorted at HiH..<3)

Not really much new in my life. <<; >>;

Back.

2007-07-28T21:29:22Z

From a little hiatus-y thing.

I just finished Deathly Hallows. I'm saddened by the loss of one of my favorite characters (I won't mention who, just to curb anyone's fear of spoilers), but the ending was somewhat fitting, I think.

I want more, but that's just me being..me.

I really want to play Hermione in an RP, but many of the good RPs are all wanting people over 18. I'm 16, turning 17 in September...I wish I could find a good RP that had Hermione open that allowed me to play her, despite my age.

I've inquired about the rule at an RP that I'm really, really, REALLY interested in doing called From The Ashes, but I doubt they'll give me the answer that I really want: that they will allow me to apply for Hermione. They really want a Hermione, and I can only sit and cross my fingers.

Neville Longbottom..

2007-07-04T22:42:10Z

WARNING: Spoilers for HP: Order of the Phoenix~

Neville Longbottom..wow. I'm rereading the 5th book in preparation for the release of the movie [*cough* to refresh my memory*cough*] and, as I read through the end of chapter 23, where Neville's parents were mentioned, I can't help but feel sympathy for the little guy.

I mean. He lives in the shadow of his parents' legacy - the parents who are now at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, in the long-term resident's ward, due to the aftereffects of being under the Crutacius curse. Bellatrix Lestrange (sp? @_@; ) tortured them into insanity..what that must've been..that..wow. To torture someone so much that they forget everything and revert back to a simple minded shell of what they once were..and they were such good magic users, too. And now Neville goes to school and is hated by all the teachers - they pick on him..he never quite gets anything right - all the while having to deal with the burden of his parents' fates on his shoulders.

..-goes back to reading- Sorry for spamming up my f-list. <<; I just wanted to get that out. I might write a little drabble!fic on neville, and how he feels..hmm....

...-whispers- 16-ish days till the new book is released! ;3

2007-06-27T22:00:54Z

Also, if I was involved in RPs with you, please note that at the end of july I will be more inactive than ever - I have band camp for two and a half weeks. @___@;;;

I sorry to everybody..if you do need to tell me somethin' though, just..email me? hey.thats.my.cookie @ gmail.com [No spaces. The periods stay there though.]

1sentence: Shino/Hinata

2007-06-25T21:25:12Z

Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Shino Aburame x Hinata Hyuuga
Theme set: Gamma
Rating: PG-13 to be safe <3
Notes: If there is a * next to it, it’s part of a wedding series. :3 Wedding includes stuff after it..like..honeymoons and such. ...and Shino’s a bit OOC on some of these. I kind of..ran out of ideas on some of ‘em. Sorry about that. u.u;

#01 - Ring *
He paused upon seeing the ring in the window, but shook his head and continued on; those rings weren’t anywhere near good enough for his Hinata-chan.

#02 - Hero
Her hero may have been Naruto at first, but in the end it was Shino who won her admiration - and heart.

#03 - Memory *
Even the slightest mention of a honeymoon brings back memories from her own honeymoon with Shino - and she blushes bright red and faints every time she remembers.

#04 - Box *
And as Shino looked upon the sight of his wife holding their newborn son, he decided that not all gifts came in boxes.

#05 - Run
“AHAHAHA! Just wait till I show these to the others! Wonderful blackmail,” Kiba called over his shoulder, clutching a camera in his hands; Shino just sighed and said, “I might as well give him a head start.”

#06 - Hurricane
Shino surveyed the wreck of a living room and almost asked himself why he’d had children to begin with.

#07 - Wings
When he first met her, Hinata reminded him of a butterfly’s wings - beautiful, yet untouchable.

#08 - Cold
She wasn’t sure why everybody thought he was cold - after all, she had slept next to him on many missions, and he was actually quite warm.

#09 - Red
When Shino saw the Oto-nin attack Hinata, he lost it; afterwards, Kiba swore up and down that Shino turned red and ripped the enemy to shreds.

#10 - Drink *
After his bachelor party, Shino swore he would never drink again; belting out to the karaoke version of ‘Like A Virgin’ alongside Neji Hyuuga and Rock Lee was not an experience he was keen on reliving.

#11 - Midnight
He always wondered what compelled him to be out there in the forest in the middle of the night, and every time the image of the pale-eyed Hyuuga heiress dancing on the water would come to mind.

#12 - Temptation *
“Son, you know you can’t see the bride for a day before the wedding,” his father had told him; he was hard pressed to resist the growing temptation.

#13 - View
He knew she always had her gaze fixed upon Konoha’s blonde-haired Kyuubi boy, and he desperately wished she could see that he looked at her the same way.

#14 - Music (Companion to #29: Dance)
She smiled at him and took his hand, leading him out onto the dance floor; he threw caution to the wind and mimicked the other couples who were holding each other close and swaying back and forth to the music.

#15 - Silk
She hadn’t expected his hair to be so soft; it felt like silk under her fingertips.

#16 - Cover
He never understood why she insisted upon wearing that bulky jacket of hers when they were genin - it only covered her beauty.

#17 - Promise
“Aburame - you better not hurt Hinata-sama, because if you do, I’ll be forced to step in - that’s not a threat, it’s a promise,” Neji said, but the glint in his eyes told Shino that he trusted him.

#18 - Dream
And as she leaned her head on his shoulder and intertwined her fingers with his, he had to use his free hand to pinch himself - just to make sure this wasn’t another one of those dreams that would constitute a cold shower when he woke up.

#19 - Candle
Her eyes and gentle personality drew him in like a moth to the flame.

#20 - Talent
While her father only saw failure in the Hyuuga heiress, Shino saw potential and knew that she would be a great kunoichi someday.

#21 - Silence
Silences with him were never awkward, she decided - for even in silence, she knew exactly what he wanted to say.

#22 - Journey
In the end, Shino had been forced to journey to Konohagakure’s ally, Sunagakure - there was a civil war going on in the Stone Country, which was his first choice - because none of the jewelry shops in Konoha had a ring that suited Hinata.

#23 - Fire
He couldn’t help it - the sight of his canine-loving teammate running around with the seat of his pants on fire made him chuckle; the sound of his laughter caused Hinata to blush slightly, though she later blamed it on the smoke.

#24 - Strength
She was thankful she met him, for he taught her the true meaning of strength.

#25 - Mask
It was only with her that he felt comfortable taking off the sunglasses and the jacket which masked his emotions from the outside world.

#26 - Ice
She didn’t need her Byakugan to see that the ice surrounding her once stoic teammate’s heart was beginning to melt away.

#27 - Fall
“Oh, how the mighty have fallen,” Kiba whispered to Akamaru, his eyes on the blushing Aburame boy who was giving Hinata a flower.

#28 - Forgotten
“Oh dear..Shino-kun, I believe we have forgotten something; Father is still unaware of our relationship-” she was interrupted by a groan from her boyfriend; “Kuso..I’m dead meat, aren’t I?”

#29 - Dance
“Hinata...would you..care to..uh-” he started, but she just smiled and took his hand, leading him out onto the dance floor.

#30 - Body
Shino couldn’t help but notice how perfectly their bodies fit together as he put an arm about her waist protectively.

#31 - Sacred
She started to reach for the rims of his sunglasses when she paused, as if asking his permission - after all, the glasses and coat had been off limits in the past.

#32 - Farewells
They hated leaving for solo missions - saying goodbye got harder and harder every time.

#33 - World
As she stepped into one of the many gardens at the Aburame clan’s compound, Hinata felt a distinct difference about the place itself - as if it were a different world entirely, where she could be herself and not the heir of a prestigious clan, and where she could love whomever she chose.

#34 - Formal
The first time she saw him without his coat on was at a formal ball arranged by the Hokage herself; coincidentally, it was the first time he saw her without hers.

#35 - Fever
To say that he was mildly surprised to awaken to Hinata sitting by his bedside saying that he had a fever was a gross understatement.

#36 - Laugh
The first time he heard her laugh, he could’ve sworn his heart stopped.

#37 - Lies
Her father lied to her, Shino had said; She was not worthless, and she really had become a great kunoichi.

#38 - Forever *
To him, the hours before the wedding seemed to drag on forever, but Kiba reminded him that it had, in fact, only been two hours.

#39 - Overwhelmed
He had no idea how she did it, he decided as he scrubbed his son‘s crayon masterpeice off of the wall - the life of a shinobi was hard, but being a mother and a shinobi had to be overwhelming.

#40 - Whisper
Hinata loved the shiver that traveled up her spine whenever he whispered in her ear.

#41 - Wait
He loved her, even though she thought she loved Naruto; it was for that reason that he would wait to reveal his feelings for her.

#42 - Talk
He didn’t care if they sat and gossiped about him; it was when they brought his Hinata-chan into the mess that he got irate.

#43 - Search
“I love you,” he said, taking off his sunglasses and allowing her to see the emotions playing out in his eyes.

#44 - Hope
When he’s off on a mission with his ANBU teammates and is faced with a difficult situation, all he has to do to keep going is close his eyes and remember her smile.

#45 - Eclipse
As she put on his sunglasses (she couldn’t really see why he liked them so much), he was immediately reminded of an eclipse - the black sunglasses couldn’t hide her beautiful eyes.

#46 - Gravity
When their lips met, her body seemed to forget the concept of gravity - she felt like she was flying.

#47 - Highway [I really hated this one. <<; Really, really did. I ran out of ideas on this one.]
Ino was known to her friends as the ‘information highway’ because she knew everything about everyone’s relationships; Shino hadn’t known that, and when Ino saw him holding hands with Hinata, you can bet the whole village knew about their relationship.

#48 - Unknown
She figured most people were scared of him because everything about him was mysterious to them, and people tend to fear what they do not understand; however, she couldn’t remember a time when she hadn’t felt completely safe around him.

#49 - Lock * (Read #50 first..it’ll be funnier. Trust me.)
“Honey, you know better than to lock your knees..you passed out!” Hinata said from above him; Neji still smirked and decided to do the groom a favor and not tell his bride-to-be the real reason he fainted.

#50 - Breathe *
Hinata slowly made her way down the aisle to where Shino awaited her, and Neji couldn’t help but smirk at the fact that the groom had momentarily forgotten how to breathe.

Thoughts on PotC3 [warning: excessive amounts of fangirling]

2007-06-19T01:03:31Z

[warning: this post'll be long. And contained with massive amounts of fangirling.]

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE THIRD PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN MOVIE.

~~I blame Ammay for this..this..this. The fangirling.~~

I loveeed it. <3 Though..the ending..;; *dosen't like non-happy endings* I didn't want Will to end up like that. ;~;

..I loved Jack's..insanity/hallucinations. xD;;

The bit in the beginning with the guy's tattoo was ingenious. And I bet that whole throwing the weapons up through the floor in singapore thing took a LOT of practice..The part where they go to rescue Jack and they're in some arctic region..that was brilliant. The acting was perfect - Tia Dalma..amazing. Her accent is incredibly hard to replicate in fanfiction, and I've only seen a few who can do it [and do it well].

The soundtrack, from the tracks that I've heard, is simply amazing. The Davy Jones song - perfect..as was the Hoist the Colors song, obviously.

I love the fact that the dog from the first movie made a little cameo in the this one.

The peanut bit..HILARIOUS. xD And seeing Jack shirtless was DEFINITELY worth it. :D

But the idea with the multiple Jacks in the beginning [and throughout the movie] was definitely hilarious.

AND THE WORDS JACK USED. "It's pronounced egregious." "..feculant maggots.." PERFEEEEEECT.

Licking the "rock"..LOLOL. Still made me giggle. xD LOLOL AND AND AND. The part with the ship..in the beginning..I seriously was thinking "OMG JACK SPARROWS SHIP IS POWERED..BY..CRABS."

Davy Jones..I cried. ;; His actor did such a wonderful job. The whole Davy Jones/Calypso thing..so sad. ;~;

They really had me thinking that Elizabeth was Calypso. They did a really good job of keeping you guessing at certain things, but other things were a bit predictable.
...with that being said, here are my favorite quotes from the movie.

[Couldn't resist sharing them. xD]

"Gentlemen, I wash my hands of this weirdness."
"We're having a magnificent garden party, and you're not invited!"
"Now we're being followed by rocks. Never had that before."
"Slap me thrice and hand me to me momma..it's Jack!"
"My vessel is magnificent, and fierce, and huge-ish...and gone. Why is it gone?"
"Close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream. That's how I get by."

NOTES TO SELF.

ASK AMMAY...

-...why did seeing Elizabeth make Jack believe he's in Davy Jones Locker in the beginning?
-...when exactly did Tia Dalma and Jack have their little..relationship? [did I miss it in one of the movies?]
</div>

Just in case...

My 13 drabbles claim: NarutoHinata

2007-04-06T03:20:23Z

Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Naruto x Hinata
Theme set: Beta
Rating: PG-13, just in case. <3

x-posted like crazy. Sorry if I'm spamming up your friends' page. X.x;;

Theme #1 - Butterflies :: Word Count: 229

“Naruto, may I ask the purpose of this little meeting?” Shino asked, leaning against a tree with his trademark glasses on, rendering him nigh unreadable. But this didn’t phase the blonde one bit - he was used to it.
“Shino, you’re good with bugs, right?” Naruto asked.
“Hn.” was the only reply he got. Shino desparately hoped that he had been kidding when he asked the question.
“How do you get butterflies out of your stomach?” Naruto continued innocently. Shino blinked behind his glasses - unnoticed by the blonde, of course - and turned his head towards the blonde.
“..why exactly do you have butterflies in your stomach?” Shino tried to keep his voice steady.
“I dunno. I was hoping you could answer that..It happens whenever I’m around Hinata-chan,” Naruto said, looking thoughtful. Shino smiled - which was also hidden, by his collar this time - a knowing smile and, before he could stop it, a small chuckle escaped his lips.
“I think Hinata-chan would know more about it than I would, Naruto..” Shino turned and walked off, feeling as if he had answered the blonde’s question sufficiently.
Unfortunately, Naruto was just as confused as ever. He shrugged and ran off to find the Hyuuga heiress himself so he could ask her what these butterflies were doing in his stomach and if she could please make them go away.

Theme #2 - Groceries :: Word Count: 100 (HAH! I DID IT!)

“Hinata-chan! Wait up!”
Hinata turned at the sound of her name being called, only to find a certain blonde shinobi approaching. She smiled and waited for him, making herself calm down and doing her best not to faint. He caught up with her in no time - after all, he was accustomed to running from Sakura - and plucked most of the bags from her arms. “Naruto-kun..I can carry them all, you know..” she said, trying to sound confident.
“I know, but this gives me an excuse to be with you, dosen’t it?” he answered, flashing her a toothy grin.

Theme #3 - Waves :: Word Count: 408 (A/N: I didn't really like this one..<<; )

“Hinata-sama..I thought you’d like to know, today is the day that Naruto was supposed to leave with Jiraiya for their three year training period,” Neji said, eyeing the pale-eyed girl in front of him.
“H-Hai. Arigato, Neji-san,” Hinata answered, slipping on her shoes and running out the door of the Hyuuga mansion.
‘I hope I’m not too late..I have to tell him..I need to tell him..what if I never see him again after this?’ Her mind was frantic as she sprinted towards the all-too-familiar ramen stand. ‘He couldn’t have left yet..he wouldn’t leave before having a large serving at the Ichiraku,’ she told herself, trying to calm herself down. She slowed down when she drew nearer to the Ichiraku stand, pausing to catch her breath.
“Thanks! See you guys when I get back..Don’t go out of business while I’m gone, got it?” the blonde called over his shoulder as he exited the ramen stand. Jiraiya appeared next to him.
“Ready to go, kid?”
“Yeah..I was hoping somebody’d be here to see me-”
Hinata finally found her voice. “Naruto-kun!” she called, waving to him. “Naruto-kun!”
Naruto perked up upon hearing Hinata’s voice. “Oi, Hinata-chan! What’re you doing here?”
Jiraiya thought it best to leave the two alone, so he turned to Naruto and said, “I’ll be waiting at the front gate. Come meet me when you’re done saying your goodbyes. Don’t take too long.” The blonde nodded in response and turned back to the girl who was now standing in front of him.
“Naruto-kun..I..need to..tell you something,” Hinata said, her cheeks tinted pink. ‘No! I mustn’t faint or get too embarassed! It’s now or never!’
“Hm? What’s that, Hinata-chan?” Naruto asked, a confused look on his face.
“Naruto-kun..I..I like you,” she stammered.
“I like you too, Hinata-chan..but what’s your point?”
“N-no, that’s not it..I..I l-like you morethannormal,” she said, her words running together at the end.
Naruto blinked and, upon realizing what she had meant, blushed bright red. “H-Hinata-chan..I..I..”
She smiled at him. “It’s okay, Naruto-kun..I can wait for you to come back.” And with that, she turned around and walked off.
Before she had gone too far, she turned around and waved back at him. “Bye! You better come back soon!” she said. He grinned and nodded, waving back at her. “I will!”
She smiled and continued back to the Hyuuga Mansion, the picture of the two of them waving at each other deeply embedded into her mind.

Theme #4 - Mystery :: Word Count: 135

When, exactly, was it that the object of his affections had shifted from the pink haired medic to the pale-eyed heiress of Konoha? Naruto wasn’t quite sure; he’d pondered this question many times before, but usually stopped, because it just made his brain hurt. He hadn’t really noticed her until now; not in a romantic sense, at least. But it all made sense - her stuttering, fainting, and blushing whenever she saw him..Why hadn’t he noticed it sooner? Lately, he’d been seeing Hinata in a new light - the way her cheeks dimpled when she laughed, the way her eyes were like a window to her soul - and, when he looked deep into them, he saw radiant love reflected in their lilac depths.

Suddenly, it didn’t really matter anymore when he had fallen in love with her -- after all, better late than never.

Theme #5 - Board Game :: Word Count: 100 (WOOT! I did it again!)

‘Naruto-kun’s birthday is coming up,’ the pale-eyed Hyuuga heiress thought as she pulled her favorite jacket over her head. ‘But..what will I get him?’ She frowned; this presented a problem. So, she decided to ask Konohagakure’s resident genius: Nara Shikamaru.

Unfortunately, his answer wasn’t too helpful. “Iunno..get him a Shogi board or something,” the lazy Nara slurred, rolling over in the grass to continue his futile attempts at sleep.

“But...I don‘t think Naruto-kun would enjoy Shogi..” she said, uncertainty in her voice. “I’ll just..get him a Monopoly board,” Hinata finally mused. “Thanks, Shikamaru!”

“Nnn..You‘re welcome, I think...girls are so troublesome..”

Theme #6 - Winter :: Word Count: 100 (Aha! Again! :3)

Upon first meeting her, he was intrigued by the color of her eyes. Her eyes had reminded him of winter - the pale lavender was so pale that it matched the snow that had collected on his windowsill a few seasons ago. But after he got to know her, he realized just how wrong this assumption was: she wasn’t like winter at all. She was the exact opposite. Winter was cold, unforgiving, and stoic; Hinata was warm, forgiving, and expressive. Her eyes, which had first intrigued him, now captivated him - he could easily be lost in their creamy depths.

Theme #7 - Sensitive :: Word Count: 127

She found out his little ‘secret’ by accident - she almost jumped when she heard it: a low purring noise that came from deep within his chest. All because she had absentmindedly been stroking the whisker marks on his cheeks. She hadn’t meant to, really. It was just one of those habits she had picked up from being with him for so long (she had long since given up her stuttering and nervous finger poking).

She never realized they were that sensitive. So, she filed away the little peice of information for future use - after all, who knows when it might come in handy, right?

She just smiled and placed a kiss on each of his sensitive little ‘whiskers’, enjoying the adorable purring noises he made.

Theme #8 - Darkness :: Word Count: 100 (Aha. :DDD Did it agaaainn~)

Hinata knew that Naruto was still haunted by nightmares of the fight between himself and his best friend at the Valley of the End. She was still suprised by his determination - he was determined to bring Sasuke back, to fulfill his promise to his other best friend, Sakura. So she stayed with him during those nights where old ghosts of the past came to taunt him in his sleep. The worst ones, in her opinions, were the ones where he dreamed of Sasuke being consumed by the darkness, dooming Team Seven to the fate of the three once-legendary Sannin.

Theme #9 - Quiet Time :: Word Count: 198

Naruto let out a frustrated, sleepy growl and smashed the alarm clock next to the bed. It was eight o’clock, and according to the clock (which was now in about a hundred different pieces on the floor), it was time to get up and go to a meeting with Tsunade. But Naruto didn’t care, apparently - Hinata let out a small giggle as he snuggled closer to her, burying his head in her hair. “Naruto-kun, you might need to be at this meeting..Tsunade-sama wouldn’t arrange a meeting for nothing, you know,” she said, amusement apparent in her voice.
“Mm..She’ll be late, anyway..She was up late last night, probably getting drunk, so she’ll have a hangover, and it’ll take her a bit longer than normal to get started..’sides..I like my quiet time, and this bed’s too comfortable to leave,” he said, his voice a low purr. Hinata just giggled and let him drift back to sleep - she knew Shizune would be there in about thirty minutes, banging down the door and demanding that the number one hyperactive knuckleheaded ninja get his butt out of bed and into Tsunade’s office..She stifled another giggle - that’d be quite a sight..

Theme #10 - Kittens :: Word Count: 327

“Hinata, I’m home!” the blonde called, his bright blue eyes dancing with excitement. “And I’ve got a suprise for you!”
“What is it, Naruto-kun?” Even after being officially together for a year, she still called him by his old nickname. He wouldn’t have it any other way, though -- he thought it was adorable.
She padded down the steps and her eyes landed on the small bundles of fur he had in his arms, causing her to gasp. “Are those..?”
“Kittens! I found them outside, and I couldn’t find the mother..so..can we keep them, Hinata-chan? Please?” He knew she couldn’t resist whenever he used that look. The look that made her melt inside. His lower lip puckered out, and his eyes were wide and hopeful. One of the kittens, whose eyes looked suprisingly like Naruto’s, woke up and let out a small yawn.
“Of course, Naruto-kun!” she answered. She plucked the newly awakened kitten from his arms and started cuddling it.
“Look Naruto, this one is just like you! He’s so soft, too...” She scratched the kitten behind his ears, and its purring was clearly audible. She smiled and continued petting the small, furry creature in her arms. “Tou-san never allowed pets in the house..he said they were a waste of time and energy,” she said softly. “Just like me,” she added in an even softer tone.
Naruto frowned at this and set the remaining kitten on his head in order to free his hands. He walked up behind Hinata and wrapped his arms around her waist. “He was wrong, Hinata-chan. He wouldn’t know strong if it slapped him in the face,” he said. The kitten on his head, who had awakened when he was shifted from Naruto’s arms to his head, mewed as if in agreement with the blonde. Hinata giggled and turned to face her husband.
“I know. I love you, Naruto-kun,” she said, kissing him on the nose affectionately.
“I love you too, Hinata-chan.”

Theme #11 - Trains :: Word Count: 207

“Rule number 257: A Hyuuga must never..”

Hinata was really trying to pay attention, but it wasn’t working out too well. Her tutor’s monotonous voice didn’t help matters either; he was about as attention-grabbing as a dead worm, Hinata decided. So she let her mind drift.
‘Hm..I wonder what’s for lunch today..I wanted to try that new dish that Ino told me about, but Father would never allow me to suggest such a thing, since it’s against stupid tradition..hmph..when I have kids, Naruto-kun wouldn’t order them around-’ she stopped her train of thought right there. ‘Okay, new topic..I can’t think about Naruto without blushing, and the teacher will know that I’m daydreaming if I’m sitting here blushing..so let’s think about something else..I wonder what Neji nii-san is doing. Probably out training with Tenten-san. They make such a cute couple. Though he’s too stubborn and proud to admit it, he really does like her. I wish Naruto-kun and I had that type of relationship-’

Darnit, there it went again. No matter how much she tried, her thoughts always turned to the hyperactive blonde. She sighed and gave up fighting the thoughts - after all, she didn’t really seem to care anymore if the teacher knew she was daydreaming.

Theme #12 - Road Trip :: Word Count: 150

“That’s it, Shizune, we’re going straight to that moron’s house and breaking down the door!” Tsunade practically growled. It seemed that Naruto had decided to pick up on his old sensei’s habit of tardiness - especially when a meeting was involved. Shizune sweatdropped and tried to calm the Godaime down.

“Ne, Tsunade-sama..that dosen’t sound like such a good idea,” she cautioned. “He could be doing something important, you know,” she added. ‘Tsunade-sama is scary when she has a hangover..’ she mused as the blonde glared at her. Tsunade grabbed her jacket and stormed out the door, presumably towards Naruto’s apartment.

Five minutes later, when they found Naruto busy snuggling with Hinata, Tsunade decided to overlook the fact that he was late. ‘Took him damn well long enough to notice her,’ she thought, her anger slowly dissipating at the sight of the two lovebirds curled up asleep in each other’s arms.

Theme #13 - Gravestone :: Word Count: 159

It wasn’t fair, she reasoned; the inscription on his gravestone didn’t do him justice. It didn’t sucessfully portray his character; it didn’t mention the hardships he was faced with when he was but a young child, didn’t mention his devastation at the loss of his best friend to the promise of power that Orochimaru had given, didn’t mention how he always made sure she felt loved every second of every day, didn’t mention how he died trying to protect his teammates. He did, however, reach his dream of becoming the Rokudaime Hokage - which was one of the few things that comforted Hinata. She sighed and allowed Sakura to lead her off after leaving flowers at his grave, one hand on her swelling stomach. She knew, deep down inside, that he wasn’t completely gone - a part of him was growing inside of her, and that helped her get through each day she had to live without him.

..computer problems maybe not so bad?

Yeah, so I've fixed it for now. I think. ^_^;

Computer problems..

2007-03-08T02:32:34Z

Okay guys, this is for everybody to read. I'm having major freakin' computer problems. My USB port is pretty much fried, and I've had to ghetto-rig (a word I came up with, I think..xD Whatever. I use it to describe using like, duct tape to fix anything and everything) the usb port. It's so fickle that if it's even barely touched..any contact with it will cause it to disconnect. I don't know what I'm going to do about it. I guess I'll have to get a job and get a new computer, because this one really is broken. I've been up here with some eyebrow tweezer things, trying to fix the peice of crap port..and i think it's working, for the time being.

So if I am inactive on any community/rp, I am deeply sorry. I wish I could write something to everybody, but I really don't know how long this stupid thing will last.

But who knows? It might hold up for a long time. I don't know.

I'm just so angry and depressed and frustrated with this freakin' hunk of crap..ughhhh. -_______-

#041: He's A Tramp

2007-02-21T18:27:45Z

Title: He's A Tramp
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character/Pairing: Zutara (Zuko/Katara)
Word Count: 1122
Rating: PG for one small joke thing. >_>
Comments: This has always been among my favorite disney songs. <3 I hope you guys like it. n.n; Oh and by the way -- Sokka's gotten over his..initial shock/anger/whatever at the fact that Zuko and Katara are together and he thinks it's cute. I added him for comic releif. So shoot me. xD

“Katara, wait! You don’t understand!” Zuko said, trying to pry Jin off of him.

“No, I think I understand perfectly!” Katara said, refusing to let the tears fall in front of him. She turned on her heels and ran off in the opposite direction. Aang and Sokka were shooting icy glares at him, while Iroh was moving to help his nephew pry the girl off of him.

“Jin, seriously! That was one date! That was a long time ago, remember? I have a new girlfriend now!” Zuko said, trying to keep his temper in check. Iroh led Jin away and looked back at Zuko, nodding his head in the direction Katara had run off. Zuko sighed; apologizing wasn’t his strong point, but if it was for Katara, he’d do it. So off he went, all the while trying to think of a decent apology for her.

Meanwhile, Katara was sitting underneath a tree, tears flowing down her face. Just when she thought everything was perfect, something had to come and smash it into a million pieces.

He's a tramp
But they love him
Breaks a new heart
Ev'ry day
He's a tramp
They adore him
And I only hope
He'll stay that way

How long had he been cheating on her? What was that girl’s name? It didn’t even matter..he probably had a different girl every week. She sniffled, wiping tears from her cheeks. ‘I shouldn’t let him upset me like this..Why didn’t I see the signs? Why do I set myself up for failure every time? Was I not good enough to satisfy him?’ She sniffled and tried wiping her eyes, but it was futile: tears just kept coming.

Apparently, Momo had followed her, because he was currently trying to comfort her in the only way he knew how. Whenever the Loud Angry Human was upset about something, food always placated him, so he figured it would work with the Loud Angry Human’s sibling.

Katara smiled, even through her tears, down at the small lemur who was holding out a large, ripe peach for her. She laughed softly and took it, patting him on the head. “Thanks Momo, but I don’t think fruit will make me better like it does for Sokka,” she said. Momo couldn’t understand her words, but he figured she needed him there, so he hopped up into her lap and curled up into a ball.

He's a tramp
He's a scoundrel
He's a rounder
He's a cad
He's a tramp
But I love him
Yes, and even I
Have got it pretty bad

‘..And one of the most messed up things about this whole thing is that I still have feelings for him,’ she thought bitterly. Why had she trusted him again? After he betrayed everyone? After she had almost gotten Aang killed? Katara couldn’t even begin to imagine what would’ve happened if she’d used the special Oasis water that she recieved from Master Pakku on that arrogant jerk.

You can never tell
When he'll show up
He gives you
Plenty of trouble
I guess he's just a
No 'count pup
But I wish that he
Were double

As lost in thought as Katara was, she didn’t notice Zuko’s approach. He studied her for a moment before approaching her; she seemed genuinely upset by what had taken place. How could he make her understand that he hadn’t been the one who initiated the contact between himself and Jin? ‘How did I ever get myself into this mess? Oh right. We were shopping at some trading post in the middle of nowhere when Jin spotted us -- or more importantly, spotted me,’ he thought, irritated at the fact that Jin had recognized him and thrown herself onto him. ‘Then she started coming on to me, and that’s when Katara broke down and ran off..ugh. I guess I might as well tell her the truth. I don’t want to end up like Azula,’ he thought. ‘Here goes nothing.’ Zuko purposely stepped on a twig to alert Katara to his presence, so maybe he wouldn’t scare her as badly as he would if he had just approached her silently.

He's a tramp
He's a rover
And there's nothing
More to say
If he's a tramp
He's a good one
And I wish that I
Could travel his way

Katara’s head snapped up and drew her water from her waterpouch as she heard a twig crack. Momo lifted his head up, but only heard the familiar footfalls of the Other Angry Warm Human, so he laid his head back down. There was no need for alarm, he decided. Plus, it was pretty warm there with Katara.

“What do you want?” Katara was suprised at the venom in her voice, but didn’t take back her words. Apparently, Zuko was used to dealing with angry women, because he wasn’t fazed at all. ‘I guess that’s no surprise, he has Azula as a sister after all.’

“I wanted to apologize, and tell you the truth,” he said, sitting down in front of her. Katara put her water back in its pouch and searched his eyes for any signs of lying. Finding none, she sighed and relaxed, leaning her back against the tree she was sitting under.

“Fine, talk. But you try anything funny, and I’ll-”

“I know, rip all of my limbs off one by one, starting with the shortest,” Zuko interrupted. “Listen. That wasn’t my girlfriend. That was Jin. Back when we were in Ba Sing Se-” Katara flinched at the mention of that horrible city -- too many bad memories for her. Zuko continued on. “Back when we were in Ba Sing Se and Uncle had his tea shop, he set me up on a date with one of our frequent customers. It was one date. She kissed me, but I pushed her away and ran off. The next time I saw her was just a few moments ago, and I had made it clear at the end of our ‘date’ that I was not interested,” he finished, looking up at her. “I’m sorry that she did that in front of you. Uncle’s taking care of her right now, she won’t bother us anymore. So..” his eyes were almost pleading now. “Do you forgive me?”

Katara wiped her tears away and practically jumped into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Of course I do, you silly oaf,” she said playfully.

He smiled at her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Good. I love you,” he said, resting his head in the crook of her neck.

“I love you too.”

---

“Aww, isn’t that sw-oof! What was that for?!”
“Shut up, Meathead! They’ll realize we’re here if you keep making all that racket!”
“Oh. Sorry.”
