...in very very many things today - though really, many many things just adds up to one thing. Which is a bit sad. Definitely not a good way to be starting my lunar new year, nope XD Just don't click the link below if you don't want to hear my griping~.
My English exam mark was eighty-two percent - I completely over-analysed the poem when the teacher was not looking for that (darn you responses which I can't do properly) and did the other half of the exam perfect (Othello, thank Hermes for Shakespeare) but the poetry was bad enough that I completely flunked. So my English mark is astronomically low and I don't know if I'll be able to pull it back up.
Then I go into Graphic Design after English, which isn't awful. I get my summative back, and it's better than I thought it'd be - ninety-two, when I'd been expecting something in the seventies - but still not as good as it could be. The final was completely rushed and you can still see the pencil on it, but I suppose it could have been worse - at least I finished the inking. But really. D: I was so disappointed in myself when that mark dropped too.
And then there was Media Studies, which was ... rather aggravating. The exam had had all these true or false (or as the exam said, true and false) questions that were opinionated. Like, 'celebrity endorsements help get people to go to events', which can be replied to with either. And the teacher acknowledged this. And then he was like, but 'true' is my opinion so you know what, 'true' is the answer. And then he's all like 'I'm the teacher'. Honestly. He hates our class. >_> But that exam, I did okay on. Not awful. I'm really just complaining XD
But then there was French, which was completely pathetic I lost seven marks because I wrote something in the wrong tense. So I got three out of ten on one section. And the sad thing is, I got it right for the first three questions, so it's not that I don't know how to do it, but changed it halfway through because at that point, the teacher had come in and said 'Make sure your long response is at least half a page long, okay?' and my long response was what, exactly half a page? So I freaked out completely - you should never do just the minimum on anything, so I whizzed through the rest of the short questions (and lost seven marks as a result) and went back to the long response, painstakingly stretching out my response so it filled three quarters of the page.
And then she comes back in and tells the class that she meant half a page double spaced. And I just freaked.
And then I got perfect on the exam except for those seven marks. So I am rather angry at myself. I think I couldn't be more stupid XD
The only thing that cheers me up is that I know my courses tomorrow had good exams - my Latin mark is good because the teacher told us (Geek Con) the marks when we asked him at lunch 'cause he's cool like that, and I was confident on my Comp Sci, Math, and Anthropology exam because Math and Comp Sci are simple and Anthro was just plain stupid.
I feel like some wind-up doll, going on and on about my studies and junk. I'm sorry I'm such a bore XD
And now that I'm done with my griping... I really should start on finishing up that boyband AU. I've been completely stuck with Atobe, really, and I don't want to post it up unless I have all three oneshots finished n____n" So I'm totally sorry if I don't have that done by your birthday, Rain-chan, but I'll totally try to finish something, really, or I'll feel awful.
Brief, huh? D: Well my name is awin and I suck? XD
Fabulous! And what got you into fanfiction to begin with?
Um, I totally forget. XD Wow, this is kinda pathetic.
I see, so what kind of fanfiction do you like to write?
Oneshots. And I think I've been leaning towards drama recently. xD Because it's such fun.
Do you find writing easy? Hard? What are the most difficult aspects of writing you struggle with?
I think the most difficult bit is trying to write and not being able to. XD Like when I want to write something out but the words refuse to budge~. But generally, when I can write, writing seems easy. (It's the revision that's drab~. XD)
Write a few sentences or so of your favorite pairing or character.
Shishido let out a low moan, the pain getting to him, just a bit. It wasn't that he couldn't stand it (god Niou would think he was such a girl if he told him it hurt, really, and then he'd have no pride left) but it was just - it was -
- yeah, it hurt. But Shishido sure as hell wasn't getting to let Niou know that.
'Hmmm?' A low, tantalising voice whispered into his ear, soft and teasing and everything that Shishido hated and loved all at once. 'Too much for you, is it?'
'Shut the fuck up,' Shishido replied through gritted teeth. 'Just get on with it.'
'I'm sorry,' said another voice, disapproving yet professional, 'but I can't "get on with it", as you say - let me administer this shot in peace, would you?'
Niou let out a chuckle as Shishido opened his mouth to retort but shut it again, when his skin turned pale.
Dammit. Shishido would totally find out what Niou was afraid of and then he wouldn't be so fucking amused when Shishido winced at the sight of a needle.
(I'm sorry. Really. XD)
Are there any fanfiction clichés or trends you’re sick of or just can’t stand?
Ones where the main character is abused. I've gotten really bored. I've read so much Harry Potter and his Abusive Childhood and Pretty Bishounen and his being Sexually Assaulted that it's really getting boring. Seriously. Think of a better plot, could you?
Are you guilty of any fanfiction clichés you hate? Or any other ones?
Bad writing? XD Definitely a stereotype that I fall underneath.
What was the first fandom you wrote for, and do you still like/participate in it?
Ouran. XD And still love it, still participate, though not as often.
Name your OTPs or most frequently written pairings/characters and explain what it is about them that you love to write.
It's got to be one of my crossover pairings, AtoRyo, or Solitaire. XD And it's 'cause there is snark in most of them, and snark is the best.
What would you call your writing “style”? Lacklustre.
Do you read other people’s fanfic? If so, what do you find yourself reading the most?
Yes, yes I do. And I find myself reading epically long ficcies most~ XD Usually all at one go. XD
Name one thing you’d LOVE to write, but have been too afraid or shy to do.
A novel with the characters I've developed. But I can never bring myself to massacre them which I would indeed do if I ever attempted to do the butchering that is my writing. XD
Do you have trouble taking criticism? Or worse yet, do you have the dreaded bloated ego?
No. XD I know I have faults so I love it when people point this out to me and show me where I can do better.
When you write, is there anything that helps? Music? Quiet room?
...Being by myself. XD Letting my mind wander.
What inspires you?
My thoughts. XD They connect the weirdest things - perhaps my agenda to writing about the loss of time in a relationship, or an elastic band to an amusing situation at an editor's office. These thoughts give me the fuel with which I write.
Lastly, how would you sum up your fanfiction experiences and yourself as a writer?
Fun. I've laughed, I've cried, I've smiled, and I've lived through my writing so I'm glad that I've had the chance. XD
I'm going to go drink a bottle of sparkling peach juice. Maybe that'll bring up my spirits. XD

once upon a time there was an awin. she hailed from the land of void where nothing much exists. so she was a little bit bored. one day, she
stumbled upon a wary cat - something very new to her, since the land of void is rather devoid of life. so she asked, 'who are you, kitty?'
to which the kitty responded with a disdainful sniff and an obvious snub. and still now awin tries to make this lovely tortoiseshell boy
kitty her friend, but he stays rather unrelenting.

canon
There was a faint resemblance, with his grey hair and handsome features that caught the eye of anybody around him. The air about him that exuded confidence in everything he did. Those challenging blue eyes that demanded attention and commanded respect.
But then there were the other's defiant golden eyes that would stare right back, asking for the same respect and attention. The foreign olive-green hair that was such a stark contrast to his own, and the childish arrogance that showed on the boy's features.
Atobe Keigo and Echizen Ryoma, similar yet different, were two sides of the same coin.
