-- My Life:
6/8: School is almost over; I'm dragging myself across the finish line here.
The usual slew of one-shots is on my list-- a couple for Scandal, as well as my Nick/Jess series. But I have three special projects of note that I will jump on, the minute school is out (finally):
1) boom goes the dynamite: The title is inspired by an episode of Scandal, but the fic is a gigantic Tiva one that I am very pumped about.
2) These Twisted Games We Play: No, I didn't forget this story! I want to finish it. I do. But the inspiration hasn't been right yet. Hopefully the summer will be kind to this one.
3) The Super Secret Jily Project: I want to get it significantly underway before I reveal it-- don't want to get anyone's hopes up, my muse is notoriously awful with Jily-- but it's awesome and I'm excited and I hope it'll work out. It's a doozy but I think you'll like it.
WORKING ON: papers for finals, unfortunately.
PIECE STATUS: i still have a 12 page paper to write, may the good lord help me.
LISTENING TO: the sound of my own wracked sobs.
MOOD: 50 shades of done.
DREADING: turning in these shoddy papers.
LOVING: the distant glint of summer approaching.
IRRITATED BY: how long have you got to listen?
-- Zayz:
"I'm just your average, everyday, sane psycho."
Extraordinary, Liz Phair
I am Zay.
Harsh but vulnerable.
Sarcastic but silly.
Stupid but thoughtful.
Thorny but tender.
Funny but serious.
Insightful but obtuse.
Loud but passive.
Dramatic but bland.
Usually a realist.
Secretly a romantic.
An open book.
Easy to love & easy to hate.
The girl in the back corner of the room
who writes in a cute notebook
about a love she'll never know.
Secretive around most people, honest on all paper.
Compulsively different, embarassingly mundane.
Obsessed with the 26 letters of the alphabet.
Cusses like hell, eloquent when it's opportune.
An oxymoron.
An anti-princess.
A muddling paradox.
An unsolvable contradiction.
And totally proud of it.

We're not going to talk about the Pirates stuff, or the random Twilight story. You go trek in there if you so desire, but I'm not giving you any roadmaps. These are not particularly attractive tributes to my imagination/writing skills.
-- Mina:
So if you've been living under a Harry Potter fan-fiction rock, there's this story here that I've beta-ed:
Quiet Summer, by Wilhelmina Willoughby
As everyone likely knows already (or should already know) - Mina is amazing. QS (while on hiatus right now) is amazing. And you should read QS as well as everything else she has posted.
Watch out for Mina. She will be on the top of the NYTimes bestseller list some day. Girl is crazy awesome. She is the best beta and fandom-buddy and overall friend that you could ask for.
Find her on Tumblr here.
-- End:
If you read all of that, wow, I officially love you even more than I did before! It's one hell of a long, conceited profile; but hey, if you care, then you care. Take a virtual cookie for yourself on the way out.
But be wary; all the unworthy people who don't review when they're done reading get their cookies spat in. ;)
Much love,
Zay
