I haven't slept in about 36 hours, even though I took an Ambien at the usual time last night. I've also spent the last few weeks getting more and more depressed. I suspect this may have something to do with my lack of sleep. At any rate, if I can't get to sleep by tomorrow morning I'm going to the doctor.
Here's some cheery stuff with which I've been trying do distract myself, with varying degrees of success.
-I'm almost finished with Diane Duane's So You Want To Be A Wizard. It is a fine example of young adult fantasy literature and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
-Pokemon Black & White is coming out on the 6th of March and I am as excited about that as I can be about anything these days. I don't care how doofy-looking it is, I'm picking Oshawott as my starter and naming it either Neville or Taffy, depending upon its gender. Haven't decided on my final team yet, but I'm pretty sure it'll contain Stoutland and Sawsbuck.
-I finally started playing Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded again, after not touching any videogames for about a month. I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would, especially since it's basically an upgraded version of a cellphone game. I'm enjoying the new plot elements its adding and am totally shipping data!Sora with data!Riku. I still do not understand why Maleficent keeps Pete around. He's really a major liability. Maybe she's being forced to do so, like it's community service or something.
-Lisa (the barn owner's daughter) told me I could use one of her western saddles on Sharif any time I liked, which means that as long as I have someone there to help me with it (since my fibro and back injury prevent me from lifting things like western saddles), I can ride western again. My feelings on the matter can be summed up thusly: :D :D :D. Don't get me wrong, I still love riding English; that's what I started out on and it's where I excel, but part of me will always be a trail-happy cowgirl.

THINGS, which are also STUFF.
So, happy new year everybody. Hope 2011 treats everyone better than 2010 did, that assface.
Now that the Yuletide reveals have happened, here is a link to my story. The Journal of Count Janus Hassildor, for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I had a lot of fun writing it, but I don't know if my recipient liked it or not. I don't even know if she's read it, because she hasn't commented. It seems to be generally well-liked, though.
My holidays have been pretty good. I've been obsessed with the Nook I got for Christmas, and with the PSP I got for my birthday. Kingdom Hearts: BBS is AWESOME. And Re:Coded is coming out on the 11th I AM IN HEAVEN. Speaking of games, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is just as amazing as its predecessors, but it's way too short.
Back on the subject of the Nook, I find it entertaining to browse through the catalog looking for stupid books and nasty reviews. I haven't found many of the latter, sadly, but there've been plenty of the former, including two separate "true stories" about two little boys who died and went to heaven and then came back to tell everyone about Jesus. One of the little boys had the last name of "Malarkey." I am not making this up. The reviews for both were all positive, too. I laughed my ass off, believe you me. I even read the summary of one aloud to my mom, complete with strong Southern accent and little hand-motions and expressions that I so often see church ladies around here pull.
In other news, I have a painful, unexplained rash on my face that makes it look as though I have a beard. When I said I was half-dwarf, this wasn't quite what I meant.

Facts that everyone should know.
Custard doughnuts + maple cinnamon cappuccino = breakfast of champions. Liz Lemon would be so proud.
Aunt Beth gave us a ton of food that she doesn't need and that Johnny won't eat 'cause it's not organic. Hey, I'm sure as hell not going to complain. Free food negates any criticism in this situation.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days is wondermous. No spoilers, but I now have an irrational hatred for people who bash Xion. Also, Mission Mode is made of awesome. My favorite characters are Larxene, Xigbar and Demyx, and I love playing as them (especially with their joke weapons), but to me, the best character to play is Zexion, because his weapon is a book. That's right, he bashes enemies to death with a book. That's an even more humiliating death than being beaten with a giant key, and I love it so much. Also, I still hate Xaldin. Stupid god-moding asshole.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is funny, but there are places where it's blatantly obvious that the author Did Not Do The Research. Shaolin monks don't use katanas, dammit!
I have decided upon my Halloween costume. While Sharif will be going as a zombie My Little Pony, I will be going as Sister Finland from Scandinavia and the World. I have the hat, the knife, the booze and the scowl, now I just need to make the shirt.

Hairband
Today I managed to get a haircut from a competent stylist, and my hair looks better than it has in ages. I don't care if she charges more than Fantastic Sams, that woman can use texture-shears like nobody's business. I think I'm allergic to one or more of the hair products there, though. Oh, well. It's worth it to not walk out with my hair looking like a baby mullet despite multiple requests for preventative measures to be taken against this effect. My hair is wispy and awesome and I can actually do stuff with it again instead of just letting it do whatever the fuck it wants while I'm all, "Fine, be that fucking way. One day I'ma shave it all off and then we'll see who's laughing, fuckers." Anyway, I think this haircut could mean a truce between me and my hair, because now it's not all weighed down and flat and smothering itself and generally looking like hillbilly hair. Now it's free and spiky and it's got room to breath and be all flirty and fun while still looking classy. Yeah, icon!Demix, I know you're jealous of my fabulous 'do and I don't blame you, but dude, that's what you get for letting David Bowie do your hair. Should've asked Marluxia or Namine if you could've found them at a time when they weren't busy. Not Larxene, though. NEVER let Larxene get near your head with blades. Hell, never let her get near any part of you with blades. Bad things happen. Very, very bad things. Like, Xaldin driving around with a car-mounted minigun while Zexion fires at everything in their path, leaving splintered, burning remains of trees, vehicles, and pedestrians in their wake, and then they drag out ten tons of C-4 and cover up their actions through massive explosions, complete with mushroom cloud. That's how bad a haircut from Larxene would be. Your hair would look nice, but the rest of you wouldn't. At all. On the other hand, it's basically free, because Larxene accepts payments in blood, and there's usually enough to not only cover her fee, but to give her a handsome tip. And if Namine's around, she'll help you to the hospital, where they will give you a blood transfusion and admire your fabulous hair.
Anyway, g'night, creepy moving .jpg icon who winked and snapped his fingers at me like a big old flirt. I want to eat the drifting clouds behind Demyx, as they look strongly like orange sorbet, and I loves me some orange sorbet.

And don't get me started on Maleficent.
The other day, I was playing Kingdom Hearts when I suddenly realized something that everyone else probably already knew, but which I feel compelled to share anyway: Tinkerbell is a fucking pedophile.
Also I need to take a painkiller because of the sheer amount of pain I'm in, but I can't because I'm too fucking nauseated from said pain. Bugger.

I'm feeling a bit better today. Thanks for all of the well-wishes, everyone. They're more appreciated than you know. ♥ I managed to get a lot of housework done today, and also did some more 
yuletide reading. I promise I'll post my recs tomorrow, as soon as the muscle relaxer I just took wears off (erm, it might be very late tomorrow). While I've been waiting for it to kick in, however, I've been playing the first Kingdom Hearts game. It's not as good as KH2 as far as gameplay goes, but I still love it. For me it's the video game equivalent of comfort food. I have to say though, if anyone is looking to cure themselves of Disney villain-love (why would you want to, though?), this is the game for you. It only took me a few serious ass-whuppings to go from ":D :D :D Yay, Hades/Ursula/Oogie Boogie/Maleficent!" to a full-blown Harry Potter capslock of rage against all villain-kind. "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING FUCK! I HOPE YOU FUCKING CHOKE ON YOUR OWN FLAMING HAIR/TENTACLES/BUGS/SCARY EVIL PEDOPHILIA!" Sephiroth can also kiss my shapely little ass. ~mumbles~ Stupid silver-haired mama's boy with his stupid giant sword and his awesome stupid theme song.
Aaand the muscle relaxer has kicked in and now I'm ready to drift off to Happy Land. G'night!

Icons!
I now have Azumanga icons. Just two for now, hopefully more soon. As usual, my icons are totally gankable, and that also goes for the one I'm using right now.

So I've been thinking about the various things my fandoms have taught me, and I decided to put it in a handy list form. Feel free to gank it.
