Random: ~~ Zac Efron… reads… Death Note…??! Gaaaahhh! Okay, I don’t hate you anymore! Play Light! Play Light But if you butcher the character, so help me…! Thanks for the heads up on this, my dear Night! ^^

Chris won! Chris won!

Okay, so I'm not really an AI addict, but I do watch it from time to time. When top ten came along, I liked Danny and Allison. I thought Adam was great (amazing!), and he was the best bet for the win, but then I just liked the other two better. Adam was just too "dramatic" for me, albeit he does have kick-ass pipes. I was ecstatic when my two faves were made it up to top 3 and 4, respectively, but I was really curious about 'the other guy.' So, I began watching a bit more, and hoooooly! The cute dude could sing! When the top 2 was announced, I couldn't help but laugh at how opposite they were - emo-rocker dude/boy next door. But seriously, I was very, very surprised that I didn't notice Chris at all, until he made top 4. I referred to him as 'cute dude' until just the other night. Anywayz, his voice is just so damn smooth! I just fell... and is it just me or he is like a cleaner version of Jason Mraz with the face of Orlando Bloom? Excuse me while I actually swoon... *faints*
 

Right. I am ashamed to say I completely forgot I had an LJ account. Seriously. I used to have one other than this, but I deleted it, and my mushy brain made me think THIS was the one I deleted. Crappage, sorry y’all.

Now on to the actual blog:

It’s been over six months. SIX FRIGGIN MONTHS since I actually wrote (not counting the small diddle-daddles I’ve been doing in my notebook which usually doesn’t make it into computer.) I owe everyone an explanation so get ready…

November – It was my birthday month and I just was plagued by laziness, of which I take full responsibility. However, there was also this incident with Malware that just almost killed me! ALL my files are in my computer, and they were almost lost to me thanks to a certain flashdisk. Not fun. Not fun AT ALL.

December to January – As previously mentioned in my last entry, I went back to my hometown for the holidays, and then stayed there more to help my sister finish her graduate research paper. Also, since I am the eldest, I became the mistress of the house and did all the cooking, some cleaning and all those house-wifey things. The computer was also most often off-limits since my mother didn’t want us to ‘waste’ the electricity. Anyhow, the computer there was WAY slow. You had to wait for ten minutes, at least, just for Windows to load and you can actual double click something without the friendly hourglass. I had no time to write, and it was probably the most unproductive months.

February – Ah, February. It was probably the worst month, EVER. This was when the most serious family problem to date just reared up and snapped our pretty little heads off. Let’s just say it was drama, drama, drama.

March and April – Still family problems and job hunting and house hunting. Tension is thick in the air, and tempers are looming over the horizon, just waiting to swallow us all up into fiery, cursing hell. Oh, and another Malware scare and hardware problems.

So basically, life is a bitch at the moment. Either I’m going schizo, bi-polar or going into depression… or maybe all, in intervals that is… who knows? So yeah… I couldn’t write while I was feeling this way.  I kept trying for months and only negativity seemed to echo in my head. ‘What the hell was I writing!’ or ‘Oh God, this sounds so bad.’ Or just plain ‘WTF.’ But enough of that. From this day on, I'm just going to let this go and move on. I'm being immature and irresponsible. I apologize to all the people I have disappointed, espcially in FFnet. I'm done sulking. I'm done with being emo. I'm back, and I'm just going to get Light to kill anyone who's in my way. Right Light-kun!?

Light: Err... If you say so.
Me: I say so.
Light: O-kaaay...
L: Maybe she is going insane, neh Light-kun?
Me: No cake for a week, Panda.
L: *meep* Sunday-chan is looking very pretty today...?

So there. Let's get on with the cheerfulness! Let's do this!

For those who didn't know, I write Fanficiton - specifically Death Note Fanfiction over at Fanficiton.net, under the pseudonym shirosunday. It's been months since I last posted anything, and for the benefit of those who are actually interested in knowing why, I am posting my reasons:

1. Not a good reason but - it was my birthday in late November, and I was busy "celebrating" it with my new found freedom from the educational system. Just plain old writer's block and laziness for a couple of weeks...

2. Our phone lines got cut for some reason and I couldn't access the internet. (Yes, dear people, I am still stuck in the horrible world of dial-up. Why do I need the internet? Wikipedia for one, Email for another, and all the interent cafes here are just too far and far too expensive!)

3. Shortly after that, my flashdrive/usb/memory stick - where the updated stories were - got infeced by a virus. It's cured, but it had to be reformatted.

4. December means the hectic Holiday Season and there was a lot of places to go, people to see, favors to grant, chores to do, parties to attend... you guys get it... ^_^ili

5. Let's just say I got stranded in a place where I couldn't (or rather can't, since I'm still here) write at all, since either there are too many people looking over my shoulder or I'm too tired during whatever scant free time I have.

6. I'm helping my younger sister with her graduate research paper for high school. She can't graduate without it. SO! I have to fill my head with her subject matter. I may be able to integrate it into my stories later on, but for now, I have to focus as much as possible on it so we can finish the darn thing.

7. All my files were left at home, since I didn't expect to be away for so long - the next chapters, notes on the stories, files/sketches on the characters, etc. I have tried to re-write the next chapters of Strings and Evanescent Evenings, but there's just so much going on here and I haven't written in so long, that I'm trying to remember where I wanted to go with everything!

*Sigh* They sound so lame, but let's face it: Real Life has to come first. I apologize for the sudden, and very long, hiatus; and falling off the face of the earth without a word. Sorry... -_-;; No life-threatening disease or accident. I'm just really busy with other things.

Rumor has it that Zac Efron is going to play Light Yagami in the Hollywoodified version of Death Note. First of all, is there really going to be an American version of Death Note?! I loathe the thought. My favorite manga is going to be, dare I say the dreaded word, commercialized? It’s blasphemy. Of course there is the bright side where in IF it was ever made, the special effects would be kick-a** good. However, knowing Hollywood, it would milk the entire thing for what it’s worth. I mean, I think I like the idea of DN being bigger in the world wide scope, but I just don’t want to be disappointed when the movie comes out and they deviate from the original storyline or they make it too exaggerated or whatever and it turns out to be crap. I don’t want them to ruin such an ingenious piece of work! Does Hollywood even realize the immensity of this animé/manga? It’s a lot bigger than Twilight, I can assure you.

Anyway, on to Zac Efron: I have nothing against the dude, and I admit that he does look like Light and would be a good choice if looks were concerned. I think the worry of most DN fanatics is that he’s from HSM and well... Disney HSM to dark, twisted, ingenious animé? It’s a pretty big leap.  At the risk of type-casting the guy, I really, really cannot see him as my second favorite character. Though many great actors have done those sorts of jumps, is Zac Efron that good for something like Death Note? IF there really is a movie, and IF he is really being cast, I sincerely hope he pulls it off brilliantly. So far, I’ve only seen him I the HSM movies and Hair Spray and from those movies, I can honestly say, he doesn’t have the intensity to play Light. Looks? Definitely. Charisma? Perhaps. The Darkness and Depth and sheer inner turmoil? We’ll have to see.

I’m not totally against the idea of him playing Light Yagami. Who knows? MAYBE he’ll be good. But until that is proven, I remain unconvinced and hoping that Hollywood would never touch such absolute brilliance that is Death Note. And if Zac Efron is rumored to be playing Light, who’s going to be L? I swear, if they cast someone bad… be prepared for an all caps entry with all the curses I have garnered in these past 22 years of my existence!
