Title: The Fire Within, Part 5
Rated: G
Words: 740. Sorry for the lack of length…
Notes: It’s not much, but hey, it’s something. Also, this is an ultra-draft, since I haven’t proofed it yet.

I went up the walk towards Sorai’s house, and I stopped short at the scene before me; there was a tall, chubby human male in the leafy hedges by the living room window. I couldn’t see for sure what exactly he was doing, but just the fact that he was watching Sorai and Captain Harmless was enough to make me turn him into charcoal.

Or at least, that’s what I’d actually be doing if I had my powers back.

Things should flow extremely well for you today, dear Taurus, especially when it comes to anything having to do with love and beauty. Throw a party, or at least invite some close friends over for dinner. A tremendous fire from within is fueling your romantic and social nature. Your creativity is at a monthly peak, and you will find that your relations with others will go extremely well in general.

My creativity’s in a slump right now. I’ve been picking away at the crack TWEWY Cast Plays SSBB story, but it’s honestly going nowhere fast. I’ve had Krysit on the brain lately, however, so maybe I should take that as a cue to work on that.

Also:

  • I nearly got t-boned by an old Chinese bitty on my way to pick Sky up yesterday. She blew her light and stopped all the way into the right-hand lane. Yes, she was hunched over the wheel. Lord.
  • I’m actually looking forward to working on Sky’s computer in the coming days. I won’t let a piece of sillicon get the better of my husband.
  • In other computer-related news, Hunter’s external hard drive failed along with his fricking video card. Thank goodness that I cheaped out on his motherboard and got one with on-board video, so he was able to use that as a backup. It doesn’t run WoW, though. We suspect that it overheated because it’s 40°C down there.
  • Talking about WoW segues nicely into the fact that I’ve started doing dailies. (For those of you who don’t know what those are, they’re repeatable quests that you can do once per day.) I hate them with a passion and I feel they’re disgustingly overhyped. However, I am addicted to making money (555 gold since Friday night), so I’m doing them.
  • I bought FFIV and I haven’t even unwrapped it yet. My mother got a DS expressly for this game and she’s going to finish it before me. I’m losing gamer cred!

Sky blogged about his computer woes here, and today, armed with the only proof I had that I even submitted the mobo for repair, I went to Memory Express to attempt to get back some of the missing parts that had no record of even being taken from me. I was making myself sick with worry for most of the day, because I truly, truly hate confrontation, and I was geared with having to argue my way into most of a new motherboard.

They had the parts waiting for me in the back.

I’m half-wondering why they didn’t CALL me about said parts that have been clogging their shelves for a couple of months, but everything’s there in a neat little box.

I love being a pessimist. When stuff like this happens, it’s like a moment in paradise.

Cut for swearing, capslock, and random screaming.

TAURUS:

Friday, July 25

You may end up scaring a few people by the end of the day with your dramatic outbursts of passionate emotion, dear Taurus. Your behavior is likely to be quite erratic, and the smallest things might set you off into some crazy tirade. More than likely, the root of these issues will have to do with a need to be loved, and your feeling like others aren’t giving you the attention you feel you deserve. Try not to let your happiness depend so much on the actions of others. The most important love is self-love.

Edit: Christ, it’s like they have a probe in our brains.

LIBRA:

Friday, July 25

Remember that it is OK to change your opinion, dear Libra. You may pride yourself on being the solid one who always has an answer, or knows exactly where to go. You may look upon others as flaky, indecisive, or fickle. It is important that you don’t shut down your thinking process after having made a decision about something. Keep your mind open to the changes that occur around you – and maybe you yourself will have a change of heart.

And the icing:

ARIES:

Friday, July 25

You may be feeling smothered by certain individuals and loved ones who hang on to you like barnacles on a rock, dear Aries. You are a big part of their emotional support system, and they rely on you for strength. Today, however, you may get frustrated by this extra weight, and more than likely you will want to rip those barnacles right off in order to give you more room to breathe. Freedom from the emotional baggage of others is a key lesson for the day.

Well, I know how my day is going to play out…
