There ain't no drugs.

The sickness is myself.

My ankle's getting better, but I still keep it bandaged and take it easy. It doesn't hurt any more and I can finally walk straight, though it does feel a bit funny. I suppose I won't feel anything in a week or two.

Last week before winter holidays. \o/

Also, I hate winter depression. :| It's the time where I want to dig myself a hole and having myself not be heard or seen for a dozen of weeks.

Anime/Manga rambling behind the cut.... nothing important. )


Coping with my ankles
キミの記憶

Those reading my twitter probably noticed I've been having problems with my ankles for quite some time. Here's a status update for LJ. My right ankle got sprained less than a month ago. Later on I got my left ankle sprained, then it worsened. Probably has to do with wearing my boots, although I never had any problems before that.

The first time it hadn't been that painful, and I got sick afterwards so I had to stay put anyway. This time around it's frustrating... stayed at home for about a week. Going up and downstairs is a chore. Walking fast is impossible. I tried going to school on Friday, but it was very difficult to walk properly and not feel pain. Probably looked really silly that day.

I think I've recovered now, but I don't think it will be healed any time soon... Still in bandages. The other ankle hasn't completely healed either. Blah, this is the first time I've ever sprained anything... why must it happen twice in such a short time period?

ps. Still have 4 invites for Archive of Our Own.

Fanfic authors,

I got 5 4 invitation codes for Archive of Our Own. I've checked it out and it seems worth a try. Anybody want one?

50000 / 50000 words. 100% done!

I'm a Nanowrimo winner! Not bad for a first timer. I really learned to write a lot in a small frames of time. 30 minutes straight of writing gives me 1000 words at my typing speed. Most of it is junk of course. The background story should be about half way done, but I had to guess a lot when I hit 40k-50k.

If I should try next year, I certainly would do more outlines and possibly go for a wordcount of 75k. Writing 2,5k each day isn't that hard now that I've experienced this. Oh and try writing everyday instead of doing nothing for like twelve days~

Not too interesting trivia )

Now I should go back to hitting other deadlines too. He. He. ._.;

30005 / 50000 words. 60% done!

My progress report in case you're curious about my crazy antics. It was really hard to do though, since I had gotten even more sick on Saturday and Sunday x_x I just had to pull through though, otherwise it will be hard for the upcoming week. Oh my dad had gotten ill too, on his birthday of all things >_>; I suddenly felt responsible for this.

I'm a bit in trouble now, considering I'm nearly over the outlines. So far I've had about 3 chapters, but the next one will be the last with contents I've consciously thought about... and there isn't anything tangible beyond that.

Anyway I think I'll do that meme with the age/name/parents/sib/etc clarifying thing once I'm done.
