Sacred Tears and Fallen Hopes

Awww I'm so sorry to hear that, ST. :(

Times are getting tougher; I was laid off from my job just shortly after my grandma passed away and haven't had any luck finding another job. If your brother does decide to go in to the service, I would spend as much time with him as possible. I too am a sister of two younger brothers, so I can relate. Good luck with college, and don't be afraid to take a break from writing if you need it, all writers do every now and then.

Just remember you have friends and fans that are here for you, and I'm one of them. :)

Oh, and something totally off topic, I left off on the episode with the bird. It's getting really good so far, glad I decided to check it out.

Take care and hang in there!

I'm so sorry. D: I really, really hope things get better for you and your brother. As much as I'd like to say 'I know how it feels' and offer similar words of encouragement, I can't, 'cause I'm still a spoiled little high schooler with no siblings at all. >< But yeah, I really hope things will get better for you. <33

I've given up all hope on FoSFF and just moved on to Luna. It's a lot easier 'cause I've been validated (and you have too! <3). I think I spent like a whole day just uploading as much stuff as possible before relaxing. Some of my stuff still aren't up there. @_@;

BUT I DO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE WRITING BUMPS! I've been starting stories and posting prologues and whatnot, only to lose interest in them as I'm writing the first chapter. -_-; Bleach needs to step it up, 'cause I'm really not interested in it anymore. Well... I am, but not to the point where I check onemanga like everyday to see if the next chapter came out, or I just go on a Bleach fanfic rampage. ): I haven't written anything for Bleach lately, actually...

...because Saiyuki has just totally taken over. Have you ever heard of it? It's seriously the best manga EVER. Like... I used to watch the anime a long time ago, but... for some reason, I stopped. I started reading the manga around a week ago, and finished the whole thing (Saiyuki, Saiyuki Reload, Saiyuki Gaiden) in 2-3 days, lol. It's seriously awesome, like NO JOKE. I would write a longass review about how awesome it is, but I don't think anyone would waste their time reading it, so yeah.

But let me tell you, there aren't any annoying as &#%*@ girls. (There's only like... 4ish girls that appear more than once in the whole manga, lol.) That, and the characters are all just... wow. Seriously, I think I teared up a bit when I saw Kaien die and all that, but... it was really NOTHING compared to how much I BAWLED when I read Saiyuki. I was finishing the last chapter of Saiyuki Gaiden (it's the prequel of Saiyuki, but you should read it after Saiyuki Reload, which is the sequel of Saiyuki) at around 4ish AM, and I cried so loudly that my mom heard me and told me to shut up and sleep. D;

BUT YEAH. You should totally go read it. <3 The anime is okay, but... after reading the manga, I really don't like it as much anymore, lol. They started off with crappy animators, and then fired those animators later to save money... or so I've heard. Not to mention they just totally made a lot of stuff up. D:< But yeah. Saiyuki. <3

I rambled. ; ; I'm sorry. Buuut yeah, the only thing I'm working on now is a Saiyuki fic called 'Black Prayer'. I've actually planned it all out quite thoroughly, and am even planning on making a 'prequel' of sorts for it. :DD (I've... just hit a little bump, but I'll get over it.)

SO YEAH. Sorry for rambling. <33 Hope you feel better soon~!

Since I'm still wide awake studying for a quiz for one of my classes, I thought I'd take the time to drop by and wish you a Happy B-day!

Thanks for that last comment on my predicament, I feel much better about things now. :)

Anyway, Happy B-day and enjoy it with some Bleach and smexy Ichigo! ;D
