practicality: (WoW!Ally)
So getting drunk on Bailey's last night and then staying up 'til three am reading FF7 fanfic was apparently not a great idea, because I feel crappy today. Not even really hungover-crappy, just...out of it and in a funk. Thus why I am sitting here morosely sipping at my tea and playing Flash minigames on MSN Gaming Zone.

I dunno, I just have this looming sense that I've horribly overcommitted myself again. Four classes this term, which are all interesting but fairly intense (one of them is actually a graduate-level class hahaha), Tuesday night gaming - I'm starting a campaign of my own up again, a comission for Mara-cookie I'm kind of tearing my hair out over, waiting to hear back from another job...I'd like to take a martial arts class but am terrified of looking like a total tool (and weeabo, out here - they don't joke about 'UBC' standing for 'University of a Billion Chinese' for nothing), and it would cut 'nights I can raid' down from like...two or three to none. I enjoy WoW, but...I think even with getting home before 7:30pm every night I still totally don't have the time for it.

QQ, fml, etc. I did get a little more writing down before the ennui and angst kicked in, so fic just needs some bits and pieces to connect the middle to the ending properly and some heavy editing. It is the longest piece of fiction I think I've written ever.

Pretty much XD I love the aesthetic, and I love amoral characters and antiheroes, and I'm a rampant technophile, so...pretty much made for me, heh.

I love creepy dystopias that are a little too close to home sometimes. Other times it just creeps me out XD Like, Fahrenheit 451 is a good example. That one was awesome. Not cyberpunk, probably, but as far as the dystopia aspect goes... pretty cool.

The best dystopias are like that - an extension of the worst parts of our society today. That's why cyberpunk was wildly popular in the 80s - computer revolution plus Cold War fears. Farenheit 451 lacks the transhumanist element that defines cyberpunk as a subset of dystopia, but an excellent novel anyway.

And now I want to like...write fic exploring the dystopic and cyberpunk elements of Midgar and the Turks.

Once I get through the timeline bugs in the current project, maybe XD
