Tuesday

Tuesday, July 30, 2013

So, I found a game online today called Kick Out Beiber where you get to physical harm Justin Beiber without all the legal ramifications… yeah I spent hours today playing that game and it’s sequel. I don’t know what that says about me as a person, and I don’t care. It was fun and deeply satisfying.

Sephy watched me play for a bit today and then after trying it himself, he decided he was going to try it for real. So now my crazy husband is plotting to hunt down Justin Beiber. I think I’m just going to let this one go honestly. If Cloud wants to take this one I’ll let him, but I’m making no plans to stop this in the meantime.

Most likely what will happen is Sephy will get bored, as he often does, and go back to playing that game for a while. Then he’ll start plotting something else and I’ll try to talk him out of whatever that plan is. Story of my life.

Got a text from my cousin Tina today. She’s so excited to come spend time with me and Sephy and the boys… I plan to barricade myself in my room, write my book and let Sephy deal with whatever comes. Tina’s a smart girl she’s just… way to dangerous. I don’t really know how else to describe her.

Oh well, I’ll worry about when it comes. For now I have a book to finish up and a show to work on. Until next time…

Sunburn

Sunday, July 28, 2013

Oh the day I’ve had… rather uneventful really. Helped Lizzy and her family with a yard sale. Not much business, but I did get sunburned… just like me to have like five bottles of sunscreen around the house and not think to put any on before walking out of the house to stand in the sun all day. Luckily Lizzy had some Aloe gel, so hopefully this will clear up pretty quick.

Also, tonight was the first night of tech week. It went rather smoothly compared to most shows. Can’t believe I’m getting paid a hundred gil for one cue. You can barely make that in two weeks pay at most jobs now a days and all I have to do is run one cue on spot. I love theater.

Loz hasn’t left my side all day. He just can’t understand why mommy’s arms are as red as a lobster. My boys and my husband are so lucky. They could spend all day out in the sun and nothing. They stay white as a sheet. No tan, no sunburn… nothing. Wish I could do that, but no. The next few days are going to suck.

Sephy just laughed at me. He can’t believe I was so absent minded. Of course, cuz the great Sephiroth never forgets anything… except maybe my sister’s birthday last year, our wedding anniversary a few times, that he can’t beat Cloud and company to save his or anyone else lives but ya know… aside from all that he never forgets anything.

Well I best go, have to be up early to help put the set together for this show and I have to meet with Marluxia tomorrow about production on my book of short stories before rehearsal tomorrow night. Oh yeah… this weeks gonna be real fun.

And so it Begins Again...

Saturday, July 27, 2013

How the days do fly. I’m surprised with all I’ve been though this week I’m not laying in bed comatose. Let’s see, I had to help with auditions Monday and Wednesday night, plus signing for my book deal. Fighting with my sister, making up with my sister. Sabotaging two plans, one of Sephy’s and one of the boy’s. Helping Izzy with her wedding plans, and by helping I mean sitting back and going “yes Izzy, no Izzy, whatever you want Izzy,” cuz I didn’t even plan my own wedding and she expects me to help her with her’s…

Plus I’m helping Lizzy with a yard sale her family is having tomorrow before Tech Week starts for our next theater gig tomorrow night. Can ya say over kill, cuz I think I’m there. Luckily for me, my dear cousin Tina postponed her visit a week so that’s one less think I have to worry about.

*CRASH*

I shouldn’t open my mouth should I?

“MAMA!”

Oh the joys of being me. Mother, Wife, Techie…

“MAMA!”

Not to self, no more chemistry sets for Yazoo. Best go find out what they did this time. Until we meet again fair reader.

                                                                                                                                                                   
A/N: And thus another theater season begins.

Sephiroth: Yeah, you’re again weird again.

Me: Whatever do you mean?

Sephiroth: Never mind

Me: Oh Sephy lighting up.

Muse: So what show are we working this time?

Me: It’s some Elvis show, and then we’re on to Gallery stuff. Fiddle on the Roof is first up this season. It’s one of my favorite musicals.

Sephiroth: Why’s he up on the roof in the first place?

Ego: Yeah that seems kind of dangerous.

Muse: This coming from the girl who likes to play with explosives…

Me: It’s not about a Fiddle on a roof that’s just, oh come here… excuse us while I show this batch the movie. Happy Reading!

Rollercoaster

Wednesday, July 24, 2013

I’m not entirely sure which way is up right now. That’s how my day has been. It started out with a lovely text message from my sister telling me that she wasn’t speaking to me until I got my act strait… whatever the hell that means. But I pretty much figured that, so I’m not too upset about it. Still have no idea what is up with her though.

Next, I had my meeting with Marluxia. Good news, I am now a published writer… or I will be. Marluxia loves my stories and wants to publish a book of my short stories to get my name out there while I’m working on my novel. That is one cool dude; he’s hair is pink for gods sake. Not many men can pull that off. Bottom line, signed the contract; which stated that I would be making the bulk of the return for my books. He’s not one to get rich off his writers like some.

So, the family and I went out to celebrate and… well… lets just say just because it may take him a lot to get drunk, it doesn’t mean that my dear Sephy can’t get drunk. And oh so drunk did he get. The kids are now drawing on his face. I’m not stopping ‘em either. I can’t get him up those stairs on my own. Plus it’s a bit unfair of him to go all out when I can’t have a drop of alcohol and it’s my job we were celebrating. Not that I’m bitter, I’m just saying.

So all and all it’s been a good day. It’s nice to have a good day ever now and again. I can’t wait for August though. The local arts council is showcasing a Lego display at their HQ lasting from next month into October. I always wished I had half the talent to make those Lego models growing up, but the best I could ever do was stack a couple then leave the damn things out for us to step on in the middle of the night. I’m telling you, those are the deadliest weapons of all time. Forget guns and knifes, when the zombies come from me, I’m arming myself with Legos.

I’m rambling aren’t I? Sorry, I’m just so excited and happy and it’s almost Thursday… I should go to bed now. Until tomorrow my lovely readers… or later today… night.

Snapped

Tuesday, July 23, 2013

I don’t know what got into my sister today, but we’re not on speaking terms right now. I mean one minute her, Izzy and I are sitting around talking about Izzy’s wedding and my meeting with the publisher tomorrow and next thing I know she just goes off on me, right in front of the boys. Izzy was so taking back she was speechless.

After I kicked her out, I ran upstairs and started crying. How am I supposed to go though with this interview tomorrow when my own sister has filled my head with doubts? Sephiroth came in and just held me while I cried and the boys each drew me a picture and told me I was the best mom ever. It was nice to have their comfort around me, but it still hurt. I mean my own sister for crying out load.

I don’t know if there is something going on with her and Rude that she’s just not talking about or if it has something to do with our dad’s health. I mean I worried about him to, but the doctors are saying that a quick surgery will fix him right up and all he’ll have to do is go in ever few months for a check up. It’s not even as bad as it could be, so yes I’m worried, but I’m not going off on people.

I just wish she would tell us what’s going on instead of hurting people like that. I know she’s never been one to open up about her problems and her feelings; I’m like that too. But I found other ways to deal with it, why do you think I play video games? But Aranel… I just don’t know what to do? I guess for not just not talk to her for a while, let her cool down or whatever. Maybe she’ll let Izzy know what’s going on.

Until then I should worry more about tomorrow. Marluxia seems like he really likes my stories, but that may not mean anything. And if this doesn’t go well who knows what my darling sister will snap at me for next. I so need this to go well. I cannot have my mother and sister gaining up on me again. Well maybe Aranel more than my mom, but still it’s not like I don’t have enough on my hands with three kids and another on the way, plus Sephy to deal with. My life is a full time job without a “real” job added onto it.

Personal Day

Sunday, July 21, 2013

Skyrim will suck up all of your time if you let it. I should know, it sucked up all of mine yesterday. And if it hadn’t been for Aranel and Izzy demanding I needed a “me day”. It was awful nice of my sister and our dear friend to pay for a spa day. If I hadn’t snuck my tablet in my gym bag last minute I wouldn’t be writing this now.

It is nice to have a little time off. Sephiroth’s been overly helpful lately, which normal means he’s up to something… Not going to worry about it now.

Speaking of which I should probably put this thing away. If my masuss comes back and sees me on this thing I’ll never hear the end of it from Aranel and Isdela. Until tomorrow…

Avengers

Friday, July 19, 2013

I’ve been marathoning the Marvel movies all day. Mostly from Iron Man one on, minus the Hulk movies. Finishing up The Avengers as I write. It’s kept the boys quite, which is nice.

It’s nice having a quite day every now and again. I don’t get enough of them. Still don’t know what any of my boys are plotting, but today is a good day… so I’m not going to worry about it too much.

Even Sephiroth joined in on family time today, not something that happens very often. He wishes he could meet Loki, go figure…

My cousin comes in on Sunday for a whole week. Not looking forward to that. Tina Glenanna is not a fun person to be around, and she’s only thirteen! Why does this always happen to me? Did I sign up for it when I married a villain? Oh well, I wouldn’t trade it now for anything.

For all the ups and downs I love my boys. I could never have married a “normal” person. Normal is overrated. That’s why I write and do theater after all.

Loz wants to be Nick Furry when he grows up. He even asked for an eye patch. Oh my kids… well it could be worse. He could want to be Loki. Gods help me if Kadaj ever gets that kind of power.

Late Night

Thursday, July 18, 2013

Can’t get to sleep, too much running though my head. Just watch PewDiePie’s latest video. I love Pewds, he’s funny… and adorable. But it didn’t help.

The boys spent another day locked away in the TARDIS. That maybe one reason why I can’t sleep. Another is I’m worried about the book I’m writing… don’t know if I like it or not. Not really a good attitude to have about your writing. Then again, the artist is their harshest critic so maybe I’m just being hard on myself.

It doesn’t really help that I keep being pulled away from it by this and that, but life hasn’t stopped just because I’m writing. Spent three hours on the phone today with my mom, had to plug my phone up to the charger twice. Also had to walk Zelda today. Yuffie wants me to watch her boys over the weekend, I told her to find another baby sitter and Aqua came over and talked my ears off.

It’s not that I don’t like Yuffie and Aqua, I think that they’re both nice girls. They’re just annoying as hell sometimes.

And of course Sephiroth is no help at all. He’s got some new plot to take over the planet. I’m half tempted to give Cloud all the info on Sephy’s new plan just so this will be over before it starts. Than again I don’t want to take Cloud away from Riku. The poor kid came down with the flu and has been in bed all week.

On a better note, Marluxia called me today. He’s wanting to move are meeting up to next Wednesday. He seems really interested in my stories, which is a good thing. It’s helping me stay positive… and I could use all the positive I can get right now. Had my first run though of my next theater gig tonight…. Yeah… not looking forward to working this show. Upside, I only have one cue. Downside, the show’s boring! If it hadn’t been for Lizzy I probably would have falling asleep halfway though. Oh well, gil is gil right?

Twilight Zone

Tuesday, July 16, 2013

And somewhere in the last twenty-four hour, normalcy broke loose in my house. I’m not sure when or how… I just know I feel like a stepped out of or into the twilight zone. When I figure out which I’ll let you know, but until then I’m just confused and I’m not too sure how to handle it.

The only think halfway different is that Rufus was supposedly seen taking some mystery girl out to dinner last night. There’s no word yet on who she is or what they were doing together, but I’ve surprised myself yet again by being even somewhat interested in the tabloids. Why is it that at a grocery stores busiest time they only have two, maybe three lines open?

Anyhoo, back to the oddity that is my house. The boys spent all day yesterday and today in the TARDIS. I’m sure they’re plotting something. All I know for sure is it has something to do with Kadaj’s lock picks, Yazoo’s chemistry set and one of Loz’s laser tag phasers. Zelda sat outside the TARDIS whimpering all day and the fact that Sephiroth sat on the porch watching the TARDIS only makes me more worried.

Not to mention my sister and my mother are nervous wrecks. They have completely different reasons as to why, but they are both driving me crazy. On top of that Izzy keeps calling wanting the girls to get together for lunch and dress shopping. I almost wish her and Vincent had gotten married on a whim.

It seems like everyone is out to drive me crazy. The only one not adding to the insanity is Lizzy, but that poor girl is in the same boat I’m in. Only her crazy has to do with her sister and not a house full of villains. I’m half tempted to see if she’ll switch places with me for a day.

And I haven’t even mentioned that Aqua keeps bugging me about asking Izzy if she’ll plan a duel baby shower for me and her once we, and I mean she, finds out what the sex of our babies are. I can’t remember the last time I had a headache this big. It may have been the time Izzy and Aranel cut Sephy’s hair. I can’t wait to have this kid. Once she’s out and I’m on my feet again I’m having a giant Margarita and hope for the best. Oh hello bed, how are you doing? I think I’m just going to lay right here and doze off…
                                                                                                                                                                   

A/N: Hi Hello, I wanted to let you know that I have a lot of family stuff going on right now that may or may not affect my writing in the upcoming weeks. I’m going to try to solder on and keep this as frequent as I can. It’s nothing major major, but it’s still pretty big. So thank you all ahead of time for understanding and for continuing to inspire me to write.

Sephiroth: Yeah thanks everyone, it means a lot to all of us here.

Ego: Your super awesome!

Me: Thanks again and Happy Reading!

Another Monday

Monday, July 15, 2013

Another Monday, another boring week ahead. Sephy and Yazoo are better, but no less insane. It was nice to have a girl’s night last night. Iron Man 3 is an amazing movie. Lizzy wants me to go back with her tonight to see it again. Seeing as Izzy forgave me, I think I’ll let her babysit so I can go with Lizzy again tonight. Sephy’s gone off again and tonight’s date night for Rude and Aranel.

I think Rude is really good for Aranel. She seems to have calm down a bit since they started dating. Not enough to give up being a sky pirate, but enough were she’s not too much of a bitch. I love my sister, but she’s crazy.

My cousin Tina is coming in next week. She’s only thirteen and already an explosives expert. Her mom won’t let her near fire. Her mom thinks that a week away from home will do her good. I think she’s sending her to the wrong part of the family. I give it an hour before Tina and my three have blown something up. The way my lucks been running, Sephy will probably pay her to build him some explosives.

Also, don’t know where I’m going to put her. I don’t have a guest room anymore. I guess she could stay in Kadaj’s room or on the couch. I let her choose. I’m going to go back to watching youtube while I finish up the new book I’m writing.

Bad Weekend

Sunday, July 14, 2013

I’ve had no end of bad luck the last three days. I don’t know what mirror I broke, but it’s been hell.

First, Sephiroth’s little work out routine ended up make him sick some how. We’re still trying to figure that one out. Needless to say he’s done with that.

Then, Yazoo got sick. Great debate over what caused him to get sick as well. This did mean, however, that Isdela was here all weekend waiting on Yaz hand and foot. Neither of us got much sleep and I ended up having to call Vincent to drag her away when I found out Yaz had gotten better and was faking sick just so Izzy would baby him. Devious little monster.

On top of all this we had to listen to Aranel’s worried babbling over Rude and whatever is going on in Midgar, which as I hear is starting to die off although Rufus doesn’t seemed to have changed much. That’s not really a surprise though.

Had a gig last night. Ended up working some dinner theater thing with Lizzy. These people have no idea about the technical side of theater. They had they poor Lizzy set up back behind the speakers where she couldn’t hear at all. I ended up having to be her ears for this thing so she could get the mix right. Not to mention they were doing this thing at a church in their great hall, which has amazing acoustics… and wanted mics. I hate people who have no clue about the technical side of theater, but act like they do. It’s an insult to the techies and makes them sound stupid.

So all and all… worst weekend I’ve had in a while. I won’t say worst weekend ever, but it hasn’t been fun. And I’m not sure this week will be much better. My mom keeps calling me. Don’t know what’s going on with her. I’ve been ignoring my phone for the most part. Wouldn’t have known about that gig last night if I hadn’t decided to answer the stupid thing when Lizzy called.

We are planning on going to the movies tonight, just her, Aranel, our friend Daenerys and I. We invited Isdela, but she’s mad at me right now. She’s not even talking to Vincent! She’ll get over it though. Just like Yazoo will get over being grounded. Gods only know what Izzy would do to me if she found out that I locked Yazoo out of the TARDIS. It serves him right though, it’s not okay to use your godmother as a personal servant. I don’t care if she doesn’t mind. It’s bad enough those three are as bad as their father most days. I don’t need them having extra time on their hands to devise ways to drive me crazier than I already am.

It’s bad enough Sephiroth has free time; we’ve all seen how well that works. If my sons had that much spare time… not thinking about it, can’t think about it.

Speaking of disaster, I think I just heard something crash. Best go see what the monsters are up to.

                                                                                                                                                                   

A/N: Sorry I haven’t written in three days. It’s been crazy on my end.

Muse: Tell me about it.

Ego: So tired

Me: I know, between family stuff and theater stuff and job hunting I’ve had not time to do much else.

Sephiroth: You should really consider ditching one of those things. Who needs a job?

Me: People who need money to buy things which inspire them to write.

Sephiroth: Oh…

Muse: Yeah this doesn’t all come from real life experience. Some of it has to come from a well placed kick to the head.

Ego: Or an explosion of shrapnel.

Sephiroth: I thought we agreed she doesn’t get explosives.


 
Me: Here we go again… Happy Reading!

Izzy's Back

Wednesday, July 10, 2013

“I’m Back!”

“That’s great Izzy, but next time could you make a less dramatic entrance? Doors are expensive.”

“Oh don’t be a buzz kill Angel.”

I won’t lie, I have missed Isdela. Since the boys got their new rooms they haven’t been as mischievous. However, I’ve come to hate silence and I need someone to rant to about Sephiroth. Aranel won’t listen; she’s too busy worrying about Rude.

“So how goes the wedding planning,” I ask.

“Picture this… a red/black/silver theme. Elegant with a kind of gothic-vampiric feel. We’re thinking of having it on a Friday the 13th or a dark rainy kind of day.”

“So you plan on controlling the weather?”

“And do you think Yazoo could be the ring bearer?!”

I just stare at her. What kind of question is that? “Yes I think Yaz could be the ring bearer. Like he’d say no to his godmother.”

“Well I still wanted to ask. I still haven’t picked out a dress yet.”

I go back to reading my book, but I can feel she glaring at me. “What Izzy?”

“You think you and Aranel could go with me sometime soon to pick out a dress?”

I shake my head, “I don’t mind, but I can’t answer for my sister. Whatever is going on in Midgar has got her all worked up.”

“Why?”

“Because of Rude.”

“Ohhhhhh the new boy toy. Well she just going to have to get over it for a day. I need both of you to help me look.”

I shake my head again, “Welcome back Izzy.”

She smiles and moves to sit next to me on the couch. It’s the first time I notice Vincent. He’s standing in the doorway with three large suitcases under each arm.

“What ya do? Bring back the whole Island,” I ask.

“Oh it’s just a few things,” she protests. “I had to bring back gifts for my family.”

“The boys are at Marcy’s hanging out with Demy and Saix. It’s Demyx birthday, I had to come home though. I can only so much dragon inspired mayhem before I start getting a headache.”

“You’re such an awesome mom,” she teased.

“You know how Saix gets when he thinks he’s not getting enough attention.”

“Yeah I know he’s a little attention whore.”

We hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Sephy appears in the living room shirtless. He ignores everyone and heads for the kitchen.

“What the what,” Izzy looks at me confused.

“If I knew I would have put a stop to it already. Vincent put those bags down and have a seat. You’re making me nervous.”

He nods and puts the bags down by the door before taking a seat beside Izzy.

“So what’s going on with hubby,” Izzy asks.

“It’s a long story,” I say.

“We’ve got time,” She says settling in.

“Well Cloud thinks it has something to do with everything that’s going on in Midgar,” I begin. For the next two hours I tell the two of them about everything they’ve missed and we talk about what it could mean for the future of Gaia. We all came to the conclusion the Rufus needs a woman, or a man, in is life to calm he’s butt down. Also, people are crazy. Although that’s something we already knew, just one of those obvious things you state every now and then.

The boys came home shortly after and the rest of the afternoon was spent passing out gifts and playing laser tag. This annoyed Sephiroth to know end, so it made me happy. I don’t really know why I get so happy whenever he gets all upset. Maybe it’s because I know it’s interrupting whatever he’s plotting. We make quite the pair don’t we? 

                                                                                                                                                                    

A/N: Shout out to Isdela and AnnaleaseTurner for inspiring this chapter. They’re maybe a wedding and a hook up in the near future.
Sephiroth: Oh joy… more things I don’t want to do.

Me: Don’t be a sour puss Sephy.

Political

Tuesday, July 09, 2013

I caught Sephiroth doing sit-ups and push-ups today. He asked me to be his spotter. I just stared at him like his got two heads and left him alone. I told Cloud what was going on and he seems to thing it has something to do with those rebels that attacked Shinra the other day.

I’m so out of the loop. I don’t watch TV beyond my favorite shows, I don’t read the news paper and most of the time I spent on the internet I’m on facebook or youtube. Anyhoo, there’s some political thing going on. Some people think Shinra’s just up to it’s old tricks and are trying to over throw them and start up a democratic system. This is why I write and play video games. The real world is just too depressing.

All I know is that Aranel tells me Reno and Rude are all wrapped up in this because of there jobs and she and Yuffie are worried the boys are going to get hurt. Cloud and Zack aren’t too happy with it either cuz Shinra’s calling them in to help control the crowds. It’s all around not good. Cloud asked me today if I could look after Riku if he and Zack get called in. I told him to tell Rufus to defend himself. They’re parents now, they shouldn’t have to deal with this hero stuff anymore.

Tell you what though, if Sephy is mixed up with this rebel nonsense I’m cutting his hair myself while he’s asleep. Sure fire way to keep him indoors.

As for me, I don’t know that I care one way or another. So long as it doesn’t show up on my front door. Then I’m calling my cousin Tina. That girl is the real life Fiona Glenanna. She can be kind of scary, but no one messes with her. Not even Sephy, and it takes a lot to scare him.

Lost Cause

Monday, July 08, 2013

Well that was a bust. Apparently the woman who is chief publisher or whatever is only interested in romance novels, and while she liked my style of writing she wasn't into the story itself. I don’t do romance, I do sci-fi, action/adventure type stuff. I can’t sit though a romance movie without laughing my ass of half way though. I cry at Disney movies okay, I’m a geek… and proud of it.

So I won’t be writing for those guys, but I’m still looking and I’ve got another meeting at the end of the month. That one holds a bit more promise. The head honcho there, Marluxia I think his name was, he liked my story. Said it was very intrusting. He sounded really nice too.

As for my sister, she’s backed off some. Said she understands that I’ve got a lot on my plate and that she gets that being a good mom is something very important to me. It’s nice to know that my sister can be reasonable at times, even if she is a crazy bitch. And she’ll be the first to tell you she is, so… yeah.

Sephy’s gone on some crazy work out regiment. Don’t know what he’s up too this time, but he swears that next time he faces Cloud and Company he’ll be able to beat them. I give this a week before he gets bored of this and moves on to some other crazy scheme. Never ending cycle with that one.

We did hear from Izzy today. Her and Vincent will be back Wednesday. She can’t wait to tell us all about her dream wedding. She’s already let slip that she wants to ask Yazoo to be the ring barer. He’ll say yes of course, none of my kids can say no to Izzy. Not even Kadaj, and he can say no to just about anybody… or whine to me when he doesn’t get his way. He’s just like Joffrey, except I’ll smack him across the month when I have to. Boy is too much like he’s father. I’m surprised I haven’t gone insane yet.

I think I just heard Sephiroth leave… just what could that hubby of mine be up to?  
                                                                                                                                                                    

A/N: Chapter Seventy! Who would have thought when I started this two months ago that I’d still be writing.

Sephiroth: I didn’t

Me: Your such a doll. Thanks to all my readers, your support and kind words have kept me going.

Sephiroth: So knock it off. She’s starting to get one hell of a ego.

Muse: Leave her be!

Ego: Yeah! I’m not that big yet.

Me: Okay guys, starting to get a headache.

Sephiroth: Where did Tiny Tina get that sniper rifle?

Me: I have to go break up this party before it gets too crazy. Happy Reading everyone!

The Big Day Awaits

We went looking for guitars today for Yazoo. I decided if he really wants to learn to play I might as well encourage it. I played flute in band for though middle and high school and I’m in theater. Big supporter of the arts.

We found one he likes and it’s not too expensive. I told him I would get it for him with my paycheck from my theater gig coming up at the end of the month. In the mean time I got him a book on how to play guitar for him to look over and I’m going to look about a teacher for him. Get all my ducks in a row now.

Have a meeting with one of the publisher tomorrow. I’m nervous as hell. I tried to get my books published when I was in high school and no one wanted them. Kind of discouraging. But I’m trying to think positive. This time will be different.

Still no sign of Izzy and Vincent, although Aranel did hear from Izzy. They’re at the beach planning their wedding! Can’t deny, kind of interested in what they have planned. Izzy told Aranel that they’ll be back by the end of the week.

This I don’t like, cuz Aranel’s starting to gang up on me now too. Today she told me that if I don’t get out and start looking for a job if I get rejected be these publishers again, that she was going to take MY Playstation that I bought with my gil. I’m getting real tired of my family ganging up on me. I get that they’re worried, but we’re doing fine. I have my theater gigs and my art. It doesn’t sell for much, but I do on occasions sell a few pieces. And if all goes well I’ll finally be a writer, just like I always wanted.

This way I can continue to be a stay at home mom and do something that I’ve always love to do. Win Win, but if that little brat comes anywhere near my playstation I’m stringing her up by her toes! I never once bugged her about playing on her systems growing up. I had my own. It’s just so dishearten to know that my own family doesn’t believe that my dreams can come true, but they’re cool with my sister’s profession.

Whatever, she won’t get my PS3. It things don’t go well with these publishers I’ll hide the damn thing until she goes away and if she shows up while I’m playing on it and tries to take it I’ll send the kids after her. She may think she’s tough, but she’s never been able to deny my kids. That’s a thought… I could give the PS3 to Yazoo to put in the TARDIS. I don’t think she’d take it if she thought I’d giving it to Yazoo…

Geek Day

Saturday, July 6, 2013

Aranel and I spent the day teaching the boys how to play Yu-Gi-Oh and watching random videos on youtube. Basically, the boys have the most awesome rooms ever and all three of them where bored out of their minds. The only other thing that happened today was Loz discovered he had his own snack machine in his room. Apparently Isdela built him one of those food replicators in his room and neglected to inform us. I may never get that boy out of his room now.

Yazoo also informed me today that he wants to learn how to play guitar. He’s become a big fan of Ed Sheeran. Thank gods for that, I’m still trying to beat the love of Taylor Swift out of Kadaj. I’m starting to think that Yazoo maybe my bisexual son and Kadaj will be the gay one… with bad taste in music.

Sephy spent the day avoiding the rest of us like we had the plague or something. Once again, how did I end up married to the non-geekiest person on Gaia? Not liking Doctor Who was suppose to be a deal breaker for me and I still end up with the one person I know who hates all things nerdy. Oh well, at least I’m raising our kids right.

Tomorrow we plan to marathon Star Trek Next Gen just to annoy the hell out of Sephy. He should really learn to keep his mouth shut.

Izzy and Vincent have gone off grid again. Aranel spent the week with Rude and hasn’t heard from Izzy since Monday. It’s odd for us to go this long without hearing from her… which scares me… a lot. If we don’t hear from them by next weekend, I’m sending out the search party.

Anyhoo, Kadaj lost his first baby tooth today. Aranel told him all about the tooth fairy, Sephy told her not to fill his head with stupid stories and I reminded him that was Izzy’s job. Now I have to leave the kid three gil cuz that’s how much my darling sister told Kadaj his tooth was worth. I never gave Loz and Yazoo more than a gil! I’m going to owe them so much for this. Gods only know how much she’ll tell Kairi her teeth will be worth.

Also must remember to go to the toy story and get some dragon toys. Demyx’s birthday is coming up and he’s going though a phase. He’s new favorite thing is dragons. Marcy says its because he just saw “How to Train Your Dragon” for the first time recently and now it’s all he talks about. So he’s getting a dragon themed party.

I’m making Sephy sleep on the couch tonight for calling Yu-Gi-Oh stupid, which reminds me I need to lock the bedroom door before he gets home. He went to go visit “mother.” Old habits die hard I guess.

Job Hunting

Friday, July 05, 2013

Talked with a few more publishers today. Not much luck, which has really got me worried about my upcoming meeting with one of the publishers who would hear me out.

Sephy on the other hand had all the luck. It seems among the new files they found, there were some missing stuff on Sephiroth and the Jenova project. He couldn’t be happier. I’m happy cuz this means I get to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Riku came over today and the boys played laser tag for a while, then Yazoo and Riku went to hang out in the TARDIS and sent Kadaj into another whinefest. He’s gotten overly needed lately and I don’t know if it’s just a phase or if he’s doing it cuz he knows his not going to be the baby too much longer. Probably a combination on the two, but in my dreams I saw them getting along so I’m thinking once little sister is here he’s going to get overprotective. They all will…

I’m just happy to not be the only girl in the family. Being surrounded by all these guys was going to drive me crazy. And with the boys only being two years apart, Loz ten, Yazoo eight and Kadaj turning six in October, puberty was going to hit me like a ton of bricks! Still going to, so not looking forward to that. Dating is going to be the real fun part.

My sister told me once that one of my boys was going to be gay. Her bet is on Kadaj, Izzy and I think it’s going to be Yazoo. Sephiroth thinks we’re all crazy. It’s not that he wouldn’t be okay with having a gay son, it’s just he thinks that Aranel, Izzy and I are over thinking things and are going to try to force one of them to be gay to prove him wrong or something. I don’t think all the lights are on upstairs all the time. Sephy can be a real moron some days.

Speaking of my bed it is calling my name. What is it about job-hunting, or in my case calling and visiting almost every publisher in Midgar, make you so tired. Is it just me? It can’t be just me…

Today's Part Two

Thursday, July 04, 2013 part two

Today was a lazy day full of laziness and do nothingness… Yeah it was one of those days.

The boys kept themselves entertained in their separate rooms, Sephy spent most the day ankle deep in files and I spent the day poolside next door with Aqua and Terra. I didn’t even know this place had a pool.

“Enjoying your day off,” Terra asked me.

“Yes… yes I am,” I responded

Terra made the best non-alcoholic fruity drink. I have no idea what it is except it tasted like mangos and strawberries. Aqua says Terra makes the best mixed drinks, which only makes me want to have the kid faster so I can drink again. Is that bad? I feel like that’s kind of bad…

After I decided I’d spent enough time in the sun I came home and played more Last of Us. I think I’m addicted. Is there a video games anonymous? I think there should be. Mostly for those little pre teens who just live online playing these multiplayer games, acting stupid and being a nuisances. But I could need it too.

It’s looking like another nursery camp out tonight. If I wasn’t so happy Sephy final managed to do something without summoning a meteor or giant monster I’d kick him out of our room and shred ever last document just so I could sleep in my own bed. Oh well… my life right?    

Changing things up

Thursday, July 04, 2013

“The main reason we called you here today, Sephiroth, is that we’re getting tired of the constant attacks on the company,” Rufus said.

I’m still not too sure what I’m doing here. Other than to keep Sephy from choking Rufus right here in his office. I tuned out for most of it.

“So for the benefit of the rebuilt and my sanity, I’m giving you the files you wanted.”

Good, now I can spend another three nights camped out in the nursery while Sephy combs though those files. Not that I mind now that I have the new air mattress, but I would like to sleep in my own bed every now and again.

As I predicted, Cloud had a lot to do with Sephiroth getting his way. Turns out not only was Rufus tired of Sephy’s antics, so was Cloud. Don’t see why now should be any different from every other time.

I don’t mean to sound bitter or anything. I’m really kind of glad Sephy got what he wanted without too much damage this time around, but this doesn’t really change anything. Sephy will be Sephy and Cloud and company will just have to work their magic and bring him home.

Although I do hope this changes some things. Cloud and Zack are parents now. They can’t be out till ungodly times of night chasing Sephiroth around much anymore. And as much as I would hope that Sephy would consider that I know he won’t. I can’t even get him to watch after his own kids some days. Why would he care about anyone else’s kids, even if it’s his own cousin.

Anyhoo, back to the files. Not much there, but Sephy’s happy. So he insisted on having a cook out to celebrate… I honestly thought hell had frozen over.

Most everyone was there. Cloud and Zack with Riku, Aqau and Terra, Marcy, Saix and Demy, even Rufus stopped by. Did I mention I think hell froze over? Aranel and Izzy were there of course, with Vincent and Rude in tow. Aranel did the grilling because Sephy’s never used a grill before, and Izzy made cookies and a chocolate cake just because she could.

All in all it was a nice time.

“We should do this more often,” Sephy said as everyone was leaving.

“You don’t get your way all that often,” I replayed.

“I know, but that shouldn’t stop us. I want to learn how to use a grill.”

Oh now he wants to play dad and learn how to grill. I’ll admit his eased off the planet spaceship thing, but his still acting all weird about having a girl. His little princes must have the world… no really he wants to give the planet to Kairi on her first birthday. It’s a headache and a half.

Spent the rest of the night playing Last of Us. I final survived the multiplayer campaign! Took me long enough. Now I won’t care as much if I don’t finish up those stupid missions and lose all my survivors in a hunter attack. Now I just have to get my headset so I can talk to people.

Sephy says if that happens I’ll never get anything done ever again. That is so not true. I managed to get the house cleaned up, go to that meeting with him, wrangle the kids in the middle of the grocery store, help fix dinner sixteen people and beat the campaign so I don’t want to hear it. I do more than him most days.

Sure he’s got his whole world take over thing and his having to fight Aranel on who is going to be supreme ruler of the planet, but I still think I have the harder job ever without trying to become a writer.

Oh well… I’ve been up way too long. The air mattress in calling my name.
                                                                                                                                                                    


A/N: I’m going to start trying to write a little something before I go to bed each night/early morning. Trying to write something everyday is starting to feel like an obligation instead of something I want to do. This means that you may get two chapters in a day and not one on other days (depending on how late I stay up). I fell the change may help relight the fire for this story. I still enjoy writing it and I have so much planed and I’ll still be writing everyday. It’s just now I won’t fell so pressure to get something posted by midnight everyday. Thank you all so much for sticking with me for sixty plus chapters as well as all the positive reviews. You guys are the greatest. Happy Reading!

Meetings

Tuesday, July 02, 2013

Talk with a few publishers today. I have a meeting with one in a week and the other at the end of the month. Most didn’t like the idea of my story. Sephy said they have no idea what they’re talking about.

I’m happy with just the two meetings ya know. It’s progress so I’m happy. The boys are happy too. They think it’s cool that mommy maybe able to write books for a living.

It also shuts my mother up. She’s still not big on the idea and isn’t sure how we’re going to make raising four kids with little income, but she tends to forget who Sephy is. I think she chooses not to think about it, but whatever.

Also, broke down and bought a ps3. Been playing Last of Us all day. Well that and CivRev, which is also fun. Sephiroth really got into that one… can’t imagine why.

Sorry I don’t have much to report, it’s just been a long day and tomorrow’s looking to be even longer. Sephy somehow managed to get a meeting with Shinra about those new files of Hojo’s and he wants me to go with him tomorrow. I think Cloud has something to do with this, but that’s just me. Night ever one, wish me luck tomorrow.

Good and Bad

Monday, July 1, 2013

Had to spend the day at my parent’s house today. Mom insisted Aranel and I spend time with my grandmother. Don’t get me wrong, I love my grandma, but she can be such a pain sometimes.

Sephy didn’t go, of course. If there’s one person he dislikes more than Izzy, it’s my grandmother. So of course I had to listen to her go on and on about how I made a horrible decision marring a villain… again… for the hundredth time.

I didn’t make the kids come with me today. No need to put them through that.

On a more positive note, Kairi’s fine, everything is progressing nicely. Which makes Sephy very happy. Now if I could just stop him from trying to take over the planet.

I really need to get a ps3. I need borderlands 2… I’ve fallen in love with Tiny Tina. She is too cute! I mean, who doesn’t love the world’s deadliest thirteen year old? She reminds me of Izzy a little honestly.

Also, I love the multiplayer on Last of Us. Normal not into online multiplayers, but this one’s really cool.

I got a job coming up. It’s a theater gig, which makes me happy. On the down sides it’s working spot light. A normal easy job made tough by old ass spotlight that doesn’t love me.


Oh well, at least it’s something I like doing. Going to try and get one of my books published. Sephy is reading it now and then I’m going to have Lizzy read it. I would ask Aranel, but she swore off proof reading my stuff after the first few stories broke her. She’s such a grammar nazi.
