I wish we would get a nice loud dark thunderstorm. :/ The weather keeps calling for it, but it never comes or always passes us by; it gets cloudy, and occasionally even gloomy, but it always dissipates with nothing more than regular rain; and it's been way too sunny. It's like nature is constipated. >:/ The other day it got all weird and platinum looking outside, which ALWAYS, without fail used to indicate a HUGE storm was coming in...but the past year or so, whenever that's happened, it's failed to appear. I can't figure out why the weather has started to mess itself up so much. :( It's gloomy today but the thunderstorms they keep calling for never appear. The last time one started to move in, a few days ago, I hurried to the bathroom to wash my bowl in case the power went out. The thunder boomed as I ran the water and washed. Then I turned the water off, came out, and...it was over!! That was it! This is a big ripoff.

I bet if they DO show up, it'll be when I'm asleep, and when I wake up it'll just be cold and wet or else sunny again! >:/

Just taking a break from proofing TAC:43 and typing this up. I guess that's why it's so boring.

I guess I'm going to simply delete all my stuff from FPN and start anew. I already deleted 18 of my 60 existing items, all the drek I never should have posted in the first place, my random scenes and crappy poetry. I have to work up the courage to delete the rest; MI will probably go last. Goodbye, all my reviews. :*( A few of my items are on people's fave lists but oh well, I doubt they've stopped by to read anything of mine in ages--as if I have given them anything new to read!

Hold on...looks like the sky's getting all dingy and platinum again. Not that that means anything anymore. >:/ It'll turn into regular white soon...fft. Even Dad said that the "red sky at morning" thing doesn't seem to hold anymore, either, and he's right. We haven't had a decent thunderstorm in ages. -_-

Snotty little chickadees!! They show up early, all noisy, and I toss them their food and as soon as I shut the door--they're all gone!! Little ingrates! >_<

Anyway...I'll just delete it all and try again. Won't post my drek this time. WC limits have taught me to not do that so much. I don't expect to gain any new readers but, the story is not exactly drawing anyone in as it is, so aside from the existing reviews, I haven't really anything to lose. I do hope there isn't some kind of OTHER page crap-up that makes it impossible to update, though. If so I will not even bother with tech support. >:/ I really fail to understand why they have all that stuff load on one page. Even WC realized the error in this, back when surveys used to be set up this way, and changed the survey creation layout into several pages (at least I'm assuming that's why they did that). Why is it so hard for FPN to do the same? Who knows. Like I said before, they are right on the ball when it comes to deleting offensive fics (they got me because I had--*gasp*--a CHARACTER LIST on the site!!--horrors!), but should you submit a tech support request, it's like there's nobody home. Awfully convenient.

The dumb thing though is now it takes at least 24 hours for changes to show on the site, so even those stories I deleted, when I was done they were still all displaying and still fully accessible even though I had deleted them from the site! How lame. You would think at least DELETING something entirely would get rid of it quickly. -_- So if I mess up in how I post a story, I won't be able to tell until it's been up already for a while--embarrassing! >_< Even my profile changes I made yesterday, I had to wait until today to see them. Ick. I remember it being draggy before, but not THAT draggy. I probably wouldn't have stuck around if it had been!

Stupid weather.

I know that if it were real I would hate it, but I keep wishing and wishing I could live in one of my stories for a time. Like sleeping in Stick-In-The-Dirt's wigwam, and keeping White Deer company when she gathers plants, and staying out of Black Elk Horn's way, and visiting the Dupries house to see Little Dove, and going into town to trade with Francois, and listening to Lake Huron at night. Such a simpler time I rather wish I could experience. I know, I'm too used to modern conveniences to ever feel comfortable in a Late Woodland home, but still, it does have that allure to it. Even if only for a little while. Wouldn't you like to pass a little time in a place where things like TV and the Internet and bills and your hair and crap don't matter so much? Where food and a home and family is what it's all about? Too bad it's all only in my head and I can't even live in it there. -_-

Really stupid weather.

I rather wish I had something more interesting or even bitchy to write about, but I suppose that's it. Back to my proofing. -_- Blah.
