Title: Like Cuttings From Plants: two scenes from the end of the world

Spoilers: to the end of 2x01.
Warnings: for melodrama and verbosity: in other words, written from Koizumi's point of view.

Part I - revised.


( Plant cuttings are sensitive to moisture loss, so treat them in water and fertilizer immediately; avoid direct sunlight. If taken care of, your flower or stem cutting will soon grow into a healthy, viable new plant. )

1) New layout, thank god. I was getting so sick of staring at that ugly old thing ;__;. Check it out @ lily22.

( the deer, they are teal )

5) God. I just feel so disgustingly good right now. I can't understand it. Is there something wrong with me? :) :)

It is totally ok to post this from work, because I am on my lunch break. Yes. There is food going into my mouth.

( Though a flower may stay fresh for days after it is cut, one may say, even at that point, that it is already dead. )

1) Some EXTREMELY short games for you to play. First, Execution.

And to help you get over your depression, go on to Today I Die, and I Wish I Were The Moon, both by the same creator. The actual gameplay is a little difficult to figure out at first, but especially for Today I Die, just stick with it, don't cheat, and I think you'll find it a rewarding 15 minutes of your life even though the ending made me personally rage. but that's just me. :)

And finally, The Majesty of Colors. You're a kraken, and you are mighty awesome. If you find that the previous statement describes your everyday life, this is the game for you.


2) I probably should make a roommate post and a work/coworkers post, but I think I'll save it for next weekend. For now, general impressions, I guess?

There's no internet in my apartment; I guess that was my decision, to 1) save money and 2) slowly wean myself from my addiction. It's like rehab, but cheaper. I do have internet at work - in fact I've spent all week on the internet, sifting through relevant papers in the IEEE database, which is like an alcoholic going to work at a brewery. I did not foresee how tempting it would be to surf the net at work, but I think I'm getting better about staying focused (...she says, after linking a bunch of flash games). Just have to close some of these damn tabs.


3) I thought I'd use this time away from the 'net to get back into the habit of writing, but my roommate is surprisingly... social? I'm really not sure how to feel about this. She waits for me to come home so we can eat together. And she... talks to me. At length. Yeah.

Instead of trying to come up with something to talk about (neither of us seems to be a particularly good conversationalist), I downloaded over 25GB of anime to watch with her. I got all of Soul Eater, Darker Than Black, and (don't laugh) Zero no Tsukaima and Skip Beat. She also seems to be really into mechas, so I also got some Full Metal Panic and Macross Frontier (she's already seen Code Geass and Gundam whatever). I think this should last us at least a couple weeks. ;;

I don't know. I guess no one in my family is very... interactive? So I'm really used to living in isolation in a very quiet house. Neither of my previous roommates has liked me, so it's kind of really strange to me that this one wants to do stuff with me. Buuut the anime is good, and she's nice, so there's no problem I guess? Wow this part of the entry just got totally incoherent. /flails some more.


4) As for my original goal, the writing, I did manage to eke out a crappy little fic in the hours of mismatch between my roommate's schedule and mine. I'm going to see if I can make it presentable by tomorrow. If so, I'll post it; if not, then next weekend.
