Huh. It snowed.

It just occurred to me that the copy of Castlevania: Lament of Innocence I bought from eBay never arrived. Just contacted the seller about it. Meh.

According to the time on my FF7 save file, it took me over 10 hours to get out of Midgar. Though I guess some of those hours were when I just left the game and went to cook or do stuff. Finally on the world map. I want to play some more, actually, but sleep also seems like a good idea.

Back in 2007 I did the "year in fic" meme, but hadn't done it since. I think 2007's fics were ones that were worth talking about (although nobody read the post, bah, which put me off doing it again for 2008). I wish I could still write the way I did then. In the past few months I haven't even opened Google Docs (where I store my writing). These days all my words are flat and meaningless. But overall, I think 2009 had been a year where I indulged in cheesyness. It had also been a year where I uploaded fics to ff.net and had them added as favourites by a bajillion people but hardly ever received any feedback. Overall I wrote only a few stories, but they were long, and all TLR, and they made me happy although the fandom is tiny and has too many lurkers for its tiny size and makes me feel lonely. Anyway, I noticed that my TLR writing is very different from my PoT writing. The TLR ones seem a lot more... shallow? Maybe it's more to do with my state of mind, though. 2009 had been very strange and nasty, perhaps I didn't want to tackle difficult issues in my stories the way I used to.

I wonder what 2010 will be like. Maybe I'll finish a D1 fic, but more likely I'll write more Dave/Rush. Ah, delirium. In fact, let me go check that thing I started a few months ago...

2009 had been a year of clusterfuck and huge disappointments, though it went up a lot towards the end thanks to one person. You know who you are. Thank you.
