100th Post!

Well! Party time! Our first milestone post. 100 posts have been made by us as of this post. Go team! Ive decided I'm going to get back to my roots somewhat, and blog as much as possible, even when I have nothing to say concerning FanFiction or other art. Why? Because this blog isn't just for our stories. It's for life. Because life happens, and sometimes we need to vent. So, enough front page rambling. Take a look at the Labels below, and if any of them interest you click on the "Read More" link.

Hello either faithful or not faithful or neither reader/s! This is Ryu Dragonclaw! Or is it? I mean it could be somebody else on his computer. If they were somehow able to find a way to get on it. Anyways. It's actually me, Ryu Dragonclaw, writing this.

Stuff to talk about today...

• dA Battles
• School
• Home life
• Pure Chaos

Procastination is bad

Alright...I admit it. Now as to what I'm admitting to...you'll have to find out! Muahahahaha! *coughcough* Agh...not sure what came over me...Anyways, I haven't even started on Mirrored Eyes chapter 14 or Unescaped Cage chapter 3. The reason for this is simple: I have a lot going on right now, my computer keeps breaking down, I have really really bad headaches, and I can't focus too much on one story at a time. Now...I know most of you think that those are excuses, and trust me, they are. But they also aren't.

Obviously, I can't type when my computer crashes, and, unlike most authors I don't write my chapters ahead. What I post is merely the first draft. I'm seeing how my style gets accepted, what to do, and what not to do. And hey, if I can get feedback other than my family (let's face it, they aren't entirely honest) then that's great! But it also means that I am NOT ALLOWED to edit or fix chapters until the whole story is written out. My parent's rules.

Also, During the winter months I am prone to extremely bad sinus headaches that often end up affecting my school work. Such as now. Right now I'm three days behind in some classes, and obviously, that takes up quite a bit of time.

Now, I think most of you think that just 'cause I don't work on my posted stories means that I haven't written anything when the truth is, I've written nearly everyday since my last update. Up my sleeve I now have a Bowser story, A Super Smash Bros Story, a CROSSOVER between Mario and Naruto, an Oban Star Racers AU fic, and a Phineas and Ferb/Harry Potter fic. Mind you, none of these are completed or even on that first chapter.

Either way, I hope you will forgive me and continue to read. Or if you don't enjoy the wait, enjoy FF.N. OH AND Merry (Early) Christmas!

Hello, guess what I just did? I finished Legend of Lucario! Like it will say in the chapter, I am both happy and sad to have finished the story. It's great and all that I have a finished multi-chapter story. I just feel like there should be more. But I have at least one more story to work on, and maybe that Legendz story

College Life: Day 9

I still can't believe how natural this all feels to me. It's like I've been at college my entire life or something. I mean, I could probably get to my dorm from the dining hall blindfolded already. I can already manage my schedule, making sure I get my butt out of bed in time for classes and other activities. Wow... I really don't have a whole lot more than that to say. If feels like each day is passing rather slowly, but at the same time, it's already day 9... then again, I've got a LONG way to go still. I don't know. Maybe it's just my brain acting strange again. Today I have my first actual meeting with the McDaniel Free Press, for which I am now in charge of posting certain articles and also producing a video each week. I hope that they give me equipment to use, but I've got my own just in case. I should probably get back to work on both my stories. I say both of them cause I got a couple reviews for Legend of Lucario recently that are asking me to please continue, so I need to get my rear in gear. Hey, that rhymed. Cool. I haven't written anything for either that or Pure Chaos since my last post. Mostly cause my writing program crashed and I've been too lazy to re-open it. XD

And now, for a completely random and unrelated joke:

"I have CDO. It's like OCD but the letters are in order like they should be."

College Life: Day 4

Ok, maybe technically day 5, but I don't care. I just got back from the opening "Party" for the Rec Lounge here at McDaniel College. It was fun. I played Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, Dance Central(Kinect game), and Kinect Adventures. Really I only picked up Adventures cause Dance Central decided to stop working. The party was fun. I ended up playing through all 6 parts of Rush's song "2112" on GH. Yeah, that took almost a half an hour all on it's own. Did I mention I was on Expert? Then I wiped myself out playing Kinect games. That was fun and stuff... yeah... I really just said that didn't I? Oh well. It's 1:06 AM so...

I also got set up with the McDaniel Free Press group today. I am to be in charge of posting the Arts articles and also I am supposed to try and produce one video each week for the group... Oh man that's gonna be a lot of work if I want to have good quality video. I just hope that they give me good topics and point me in the direction of what they want me to say about the topic. I'm not good at inventing the content. I just move it to the video format. If you know what I mean....

Hmmm... what else happened today... not much. Oh well. I'm gonna get some sleep now. I have to be up at 8 in the morning so I can get some breakfast before my 9:10 class. See you around.

College = Headache

I'm a sophomore so college has kinda lost it's novelty and after all the things I had to go through with Purdue college is kinda lack luster for me. I've switched collages though and in three days I've already had a much better experience! I'm taking night classes so i'm going to be up late a lot both doing homework and whatnot before I crash. It's day four of college here at IUS and since I have a four day week I'm done for the week even if I still have tons of homework to do and another quiz and another forum post...did I mention I have errands to run later today? Ah! I have no free time it's an illusion! right now I'm wavering between my majors. I'm almost done with my associates in electrical enegineering but I don't want to do that anymore I hate it...HATE it. So now I'm considering whether I want to teach math or science in middle school. I may eventually end up finishing my degree in ECET but not for a while yet it looks like. A short update on my stories i'm still not done editing them i kinda had to push them back to fend off some real world troubles i have't forgotten about them but it will be a while yet before I update them. Though my writing class might help with my horrible habit of spelling words phonically. Cause that's how I spell by how the word sounds. Night all.

College Life: Day 3

Well, so far, so good. I guess. I was late to math class on Monday after discovering that I had written down Guitar Class wrong. Did I mention that last time? I don't know. Well, today I had a decent amount of fun. After classes were over for the day, I went downstairs to get dinner, to my surprise, dinner was being served outside tonight. And in front of a live DJ. I ended up hanging with him for awhile. Although I found out that he doesn't like to scratch at all, so I was a bit disappointed. Although he did use the same software as me. Albeit the paid version, but still. That was kinda cool in and of itself. I'd keep going but I have little else to say to you all today. I haven't made any progress on my stories since last post so... yeah. I'm going to bed now. Maybe. Oh leave me alone. My brain hurts.

College Life: Day 1

First off, NO I will not be posting every single day. At least I don't think so, so don't panic about a flood of posts from me about nothing but college. Not that I won't touch on other stuff when I do post.

Well, today is the first day of classes for me. I already went to my first class, "The Art of Programming". I can tell already that it's going to be 'fun' for awhile. See, they're covering the absolute basics of programming at the start of the course. All the way back to what an algorithm is. Yeah, if you know anything about coding, then you know that this is gonna boring as crap for me, since I already passed 2 computer programming classes in High School (C++ and Java). Plus, I've already managed to blunder my schedule. Turns out that I had my Guitar class written down on the wrong day of the week. Monday instead of Tuesday. Go figure. I sucks especially cause I had to put up with walking the entire way next to someone who was smoking what I believed to be weed. Mostly because it looked to be hand-rolled, but I don't know what was in it, and I don't  know the kid, so I'm not raising any flags just yet. Right now I'm sitting at lunch, writing this and afterwards I have Math.

I DID IT! Whoho! My first story update for you in about a month. Aleron's Sword is (hopefully) proofreading it right now. I'll put it up on the FanFiction in about 5 to 10 minutes. Oh, it would help if I mention what story I'm talking about huh? It's Pure Chaos that I did chapter 2 of. So I'm just kinda writing this to keep you all up to date and to kill some time while I wait for Aleron to proofread...

In other news...

Hello again everyone. I just discovered something. My brother is annoying. Oh wait, I already knew that. Anyways I'm here in Indiana, visiting my Grandma. Yup. We're staying at her house for the rest of the week. Then I get to come home for two days and then it's off to college. Go figure. I think I sometimes make more progress on stories when I have other stuff going on. I guess it's kind of a lazy day type thing, you know?

Not much to say really.

Sorry for not posting sooner but, I've been really busy lately. I'm transferring schools right now and that involves a lot of paper work and even more phone calls. Tell you the truth I hate using the phone it's like a phobia or something. I also hate talking about myself. On a side note I'm am, however, working on some of my stories and trying to figure out just what I'm going to actually do with them. I'm also working on an update schedule for when I start going to class again. Just a few things I thought you should know.

Well, I'm apparently a bit of a lazy baka. Sorry about not being around a whole lot, and for not posting anything in awhile. Some of the stuff in Pure Chaos is giving me trouble. I can't seem to make a certain conversation flow while getting across a certain point. I want to get this right before I publish it.

As for this website, I am going to continue posting here. Like I said before though, expect a major slowdown in updates for my FanFics. I also want to try out doing something with the Story Board. Head over there to check it out.

But enough business. Let's talk about me some, huh?

Remember that pain in my shoulder I was talking about? Yeah, turns out I had a pinched nerve or something in my shoulder. It still hurts a bit today, but it's definitely calming down. That's part of the reason I haven't been posting much, it hurt so bad that I couldn't even get out of bed in the morning without help. Yeah... Not even kidding.

Anyways, on to other stuff... (Click "Read More>>")

Ok, Let's get my fanfic update out of the way here first. I have to say that I'm ashamed of myself right now. I can't seem to get myself to start this last chapter of Legend of Lucario. I do want to say, however, that I am really upset that people in my C2 community about TF stories, all you seem to do is Pokémon. ENOUGH! It's Pokémon down the entire page, do we have anything else at all we can add? Half the Pokémon stuff is crap, and almost all of the Digimon stuff is. We have one story from the realm of Hamtaro, although I refuse to read it, I saw the show and wanted to puke. We have maybe 2 stories about Transformers, and 2 or 3 from the Sonic universe. I want something DIFFERENT! Sonic, Transformers, Digimon, they all have potential too, so can we please stop with the massive amounts of Pokémon stuff? In fact, in protest to all of this, I'm putting my story, Pony-taur on hold until after I write a few other stories whose ideas came to me recently, and guess what? You won't see a single Pokémon in any of them. At least I certainly hope not.

Now on to life outside of FanFiction.net...

Well, I owe you all another update. Here's the deal on FF stuff, so you don't have to read the whole post. The rest of you, can click the "Read More >>" button, and see what's up outside of story time. XD. Anyways, I can honestly say I have made, absolutely no progress. Yeah, sue me. I really just can't get myself to start typing the next chapter. Someone should do something about that. I really though, wanted to thank you guys for all your support so far. It's always nice to see you guys responding so positively to something I made up. While reading random TF fics. On a day I forgot to take my ADHD medicine. Yeah. Exactly. I had no idea that it would turn into this big of a deal with so many daily hits and views.

A Big Day?

Well, got a lot of stuff planned for today... Ok, I don't, but my parent's stuff, my stuff that I want to do and need to do all add up to a lot... Let's see, we got, my littlest brother's swim lessons, I have to take a pre-test, and we are going to go see the new Harry Potter movie. Yeah... it doesn't sound like much, but trust me. It's going to be a pain. Plus I wanted to get my lazy a** in gear and get started on the last(?) chapter of Legend of Lucario.

Another Day, Another Story. Wait, What?

Well, I finally got around to writing and publishing Speed Demon. I've had the idea floating around in my head since the 4th of July, but was to lazy to write it. Now that's one less plot bunny mucking up my brain.

Now on to other stuff...

I'M BACK!!!!

Wow. Boy did I fail for awhile here... Ok, so let me catch you up on all the stuff that's been going down in my life. Just a quick over-view... I hope...
