pacificpikachuOKAY, now that I am done venting about pets and how much I worry about them when things go wrong, let's talk about happy things!
* I've won some pretty awesome Pokémon stuff lately! Three Pikachu cels, a very cool lot with a bunch of Pokémon movie programs and some other nice stuff, a big pile of miscellaneous figures because I love mystery figure lots, and some rare-looking zipper pulls including Mew, Eevee, and Lapras.
* I have big Dittochu and big lying-down Pikachu plush, plus ALL the surfing Pikachu items from the Pikachu World promo coming to me! Eee, I can't wait! I'm definitely doing a collection update when they arrive no matter what excuses I try to make about waiting for the next group of items. Chat friends, if you're reading this, force me to make a collection update when they arrive no matter what my excuses are because I want to show off! 8D (I can always do another one when the next box arrives, seriously, that is not an excuse.)
* I'm enjoying cel collecting even though it's a bit slower than the collecting I'm used to! (This is definitely for the best, trust me, haha!) I got my eight (!) Millennium Actress cels and they're so beautiful! I can't believe how cheap I got them. Several have the sketches with them, though not all. I'm bidding on a gorgeous ninth one right now. :D I also adore my Ash, Misty, and Brock cel I got from Gin. I'm really happy I went for it, especially now that I'm seeing just how rarely Pokémon cels pop up. It's such a great group shot! I've been obsessively searching auction sites for Pokémon cels now, hoping to find something interesting/special! I really really want an Ein cel from Cowboy Bebop so I'm on the hunt for one of those as well. Someday hopefully I'll get a wonderful one! I want at least one good Spike one eventually, too. I would have so many Cowboy Bebop cels if they weren't so expensive! ;;
* I'm such a geek! I have a 20k+ word Pokémon fanfic I've been working on casually for a few months...that I have no intention of letting anyone read. XD;; No, it's not smutty or bad or anything, it's just so based off of unexplainable head!canon that it's not worth sharing because it would just confuse people. I feel so silly for writing it when I don't even want it to have an audience, but it's fun to write? I should write something more post-able because I really love writing Pokémon fanfiction for an audience, but instead this is what I always end up opening so whatever. I'm surprised I've written anything of this length without NaNoWriMo to force me to do so! It's a good sign.
* My vacation was pretty nice! I wish I could spend more casual time with my cousins because I genuinely love spending time with them, but unfortunately their parents make it somewhat difficult. Their parents are the sort who schedule practically every moment and who are also early to bed, early to rise. I love my aunt and uncle, but they can be rather demanding. I'm a total night owl who has trouble doing much of anything before late afternoon/evening, and I'm also very laid-back and prefer not to be out hiking/swimming/playing tennis/being generally extremely athletic all the time, which is what they generally tend to schedule (and in the mornings of course, on top of that!). I just prefer to talk, draw, watch movies, play card games, that sort of thing. I did very much enjoy swimming with my cousins during the evening, including swimming in the lake at night under the stars, though. And we got to play a fair amount of card games, had fun playing mini-golf, going out to dinner, walking around at Stateline, and so on. I wish they lived closer so I could spend more time with them! Oh well.
* Time for some Mystery Dungeon and then bed now!

Date: 2010-07-22 08:43 pm (UTC)Hey, as long as it's fun to write. I used to have a few of those that I intended to post. Then I realized that I was using headcanon instead of real canon.

Date: 2010-07-23 07:42 am (UTC)I hope a Bulbasaur pops up for you someday! Cels are very cool to own. :D I would go nuts for an Umbreon or surfing Pikachu, ahhh! Or Mew or Eevee, or...okay, a lot of things.
Yes, it is fun to write! It just struck me as funny that I always want to write things for posting and never do, and yet here I can write 20k + on some random headcanon messy thing. *Shrug* I dunno, but I'll just go with it!

Date: 2010-07-23 12:34 am (UTC)Oh and I can slip you the name of the person who sold me my cel if you'd like. :D He doesn't get too many anime ones in, but he does on occasion. I've been stalking he website whenever he does updated just in case. (I am on the hunt for a Marill and/or Johto pokemon cel's ^^;)
And I have mulitple fanfics on various fandom that I have written. And have yet to post them for any to read. ^^; I always say whenever I am done I will, but I just keep adding to them that I doubt they will ever finish. xD

Date: 2010-07-23 07:47 am (UTC)Sure, that would be nice! I might as well check there for the heck of it! I'm on the hunt for...well, I'd take most things from Pokémon to be honest, but some Pokémon of course are higher priority than others!
Hahaha, I know that feeling as well! I have trouble finishing anything. XD Maybe someday you'll finish something and be able to post it!

Date: 2010-07-24 02:13 am (UTC)A word of caution though as his website doesn't seem to be updated quite often as I thought it was. ^^; (My cel is still listed as being availble.)^^;
