Disappeared off the face of the Earth?!? The Crystal or your life!!

So. I am alive and well, but I'm afraid I can't say the same for my short-lived writing streak. Another project down the drain, but I'm only moderately upset. Maybe I'll do a better job, the next time I try. But the question is less "what to write?" and more "when will I ever get the motivation?" I know that a person's supposed to try writing every day, even if it's crap, but my personal ratio of crap-to-not-crap is abysmal. It's discouraging, really it is. My only consolation is to play really old Final Fantasy games. I'm saved right before the final battle in FFII, but I keep dying trying to fight Zeromus, and I'm getting sick of waiting for that stupid "Zemus-to-Zeromus" cut scene to end. So I have moved on to FF III.

Sad thing is, I don't own any of the rest of the FF games, although I have beaten (once, and badly at that) Kingdom Hearts, which only sort of counts as FF. I'm leveling my characters so I can beat the crap out of Sephiroth in the Platinum Match. I refuse to finish my game until I do that... and until I can get the Moogles to make that snazzy Ultimate Weapon keychain I've been lusting after. ^_^ I'm two synth items short of having that keychain appear on the "available for synthesis" list. I haven't worked on KH in at least a week or two, though. Got tired of getting nowhere, so I switched to FFII... There seems to be a pattern developing. Namely, I'm lazy and undisciplined when it comes to gaming. And I'm bad at it.

So what else is going on? Nothing much. Might go see some fireworks tomorrow. Baked a pound cake, from scratch, today. Rereading some awesome books lately- hooray for Mercedes Lackey and her unforgettable Last Herald Mage trilogy. Vanyel is so deliciously gay... and tortured. Anguish is always good.
