[EDIT 7/07/09: FINALLY FINISHED the stuff from Fairchild. YESSS!!! I can has [hundreds] of flowurz? XD Now it's on to a bunch (about 300) photos I've still got from a post-school trip with some friends to the zoo... Hopefully that won't take as long to finish. X_X]

----------------------------------------

...to her favorite room;
sunny sat down in the kitchen.
she opened a book, and a box of tools -
sunny came home with a mission...

So. I said I'd be back, and here I am. It is nearly 1 AM, and I have just gone through over 100 new deviations from my watchlist, about 30 comments/favs/replies/etc., and at least a handful of journal entries - and I'm still not finished. Good thing I didn't wait longer, I guess.

For those of you who saw my last entry... yeah. I'm still feeling a bit off - but I'm doing much better. Thanks to the Phantom of the Opera and his "muuuusic of the niiiight," my fingers are beginning to tingle once more - with inspiration. I stayed up till 3 something last night working on a poem/song/thing inspired by a mixture of PotO and Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love" (one of the best songs EVER), which I think I may actually post later on. So yeah, thank you, darling Erik, for bringing me back to life. I have now watched Webber's/Schumacher's Phantom of the Opera two nights in a row (the Phaaaaaantom of the Opera is there, inside my mind...), and I can't wait to see the stage production... someday. (I found out they drop the chandelier on the audience!!! How amazing is that?! XD)

In the meantime... I am hoping to do some serious writing in the next few days, either working on my novel, or fanfiction I promised a friend, or possibly one of the fanfics I promised myself to let off some steam... and trying my best to avoid starting another story that I am already deeply attached to and have very high hopes for - higher even than Three of Swords, mainly because it will have an element of darkness which will be markedly missing from ToS (sadly). Either way, writing will be done - as well as some serious reading: in addition to my continued efforts to finish Don Quixote, I also [finally] purchased the first book of Neil Gaiman's version of DC Comics' Sandman, which I am very excited about, as well as Of Mice and Men and a Jack the Ripper parody called The Shroud of the Thwacker. Hurm. This ought to be interesting.

I am also going to do my best to finish (at long last) working on those darn Fairchild pictures (many of which I have already posted - yay! Progress!) and shall be moving on to some random shots I've yet to work on (warning: kittens may be involved). Then, I'm hoping to get back behind the lens once more - I haven shot anything (with a camera!!!) in a while. Perhaps I should finally make use of the multitudes of props, costumes and masks I have hidden away in my secret lair (aka my closet).

So after [multiple] tearful goodbyes, I find myself saying hello once more... It feels pretty good, actually.

"Sing once again with me, our strange duet..."
