3 Hour break between Evidence and Property. Took a little time to read old CCS role-playing posts from almost 4 years ago. Frankly, I'm embarrassed by how sappy and cheesy my Touya sounded, especially initially, but I had no framework personally or from canon to rely on that would inform me of how he would have reacted to news that Kaho was pregnant with his child.

Things improved later and my portrayal of Sakura's brother became more in character; wry humor, restrained sarcasm, undisguised annoyance with certain things and people, quiet tenderness, and surprising emotions that one had to tease out from behind the cool facade. Good times, fun times.

And now, Hetalia fiction:

Dad: "Do you know how hard it is to save money? Half of American kids borrow through college and grad school and owe the Government 50-100K by the time they're done. The lucky ones like you will make 100K a year. Obama takes 30% of that and California takes 10%. You scrimp and just maybe you'll save 10,000 a year. A small house around here is 1 million. Figure it out."

By promising to leave me a little something and ensuring that I finish law school debt free, dad has supposedly put me ahead of the field by 20 years. Talk about blessings that come with pressure.

Diet: Cal has entered an era of low-carb super high protein dieting. That means chicken breast, whey protein powder, and cottage cheese. Sodium free fat free cottage cheese tastes... apathetic. I enjoy the texture but add blueberries or honey for taste. Two cups before bed. Stuffy, but I seem to sleep better.

The bike ride around SF (I forgot whether I shared about this) went really great, all things considered. I was still too chicken to ride across the bridge due to my genuine fear of heights. There were also huge winds that day, up to 35 mph, which made riding almost a hazard.

Cooking: Coming up; Blanched broccoli salad. With grapes rather than raisins, olive oil rather than mayo, hot coppa rather than fried bacon. It's for a potluck. Google wiki informed me that pretty looking and healthy dishes are a big hit, and Italian always goes first. Let's hope that's true even for 60 year old Taiwanese folks.

CCS: Two ideas simmering: Sonomi visits the Company shrink to talk about her inappropriate fantasies about Fujitaka her issues. 2, what happens when Touya "introduces" Tomoyo to Fujitaka.

Hetalia: The Star Bangled Banner, America's Anthem, was officially recognized in 1931. The lyrics were from a poem, the tune was from a BRITISH DRINKING SONG. I learned that listening to FM 102.1 Classical. Special Relationship indeed.

Mood Theme: I'm starting to use a mood theme someone made. It's 10th Division Bleach: Matsumoto and Hitsugaya. I still love them.

Summer school and work: For two and a half months I expect to receive... 1K. Not even rent. Mreh...

SF Symphony: Will perform BEETHOVEN, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and RACHMANINOV's Piano Concerto #2 (Nodame Cantabile peeps), which is my all time favorite piece of music in July. Am considering skipping a day of work to attend Rachamaninov.

Prompt from L: "Minutes before dawn" or "Are you sure?" I used both.

Genre: Romance, Humor
Rating: PG
Length: 1000 Words
Description and notes: Fujitaka's POV (!!!). Had a great deal of fun writing this little piece, with some flirty Jazz pieces by Dave Brubeck to help me finish the last stretch. Fanon always has Fujitaka unaffected while Sonomi struggles with denial and fits over him, which didn't seem fair at all, so I decided to put Fujitaka on the hot seat for once. Hoped that, if it wasn't convincing, at least people will find it fun, which is the most important thing about fics anyways.

Also, people might see a strong resemblance between Fuji/Sonomi in this piece and another couple I like to talk about in CCS. I did that on purpose, it makes perfect sense to me.

( You wouldn't know by looking at him, no way. )

I realize that this is a fanfiction community, so mods, delete this if neccessary, but I honestly made this as an attempt to find some inspiration for a Touya-Tomoyo fic, and it has helped.

Oh, and if anyone could point me to the proper communities to post something like this, please let me know.
