So, as I've been promising; I'm finally going to talk about Free! today. Fortunately my heart has had a little time to recover from what it did to me ( I finally understand why everyone of archiveallourown.com calls it Eternal Cryfest). I don't want to spoil anything for anyone (not that there's anyone to spoil it for, but...) so, instead of talking about the ending I am going to talk about my favorite character and why he should be yours too:
Makoto Tachibana. He just makes my heart melt (in the if-I-were-straight-and-he-was-real-and-not-totally-in-love-with-Haru-I-would-maybe-consider-dating-him-but-really-I-just-want-him-to-be-my-gay-best-friend kind of way). He's just so swear and adorable! I want to hug him 102% of the time. I mean who wouldn't want him to be their friend? I love him so much (as much as a fan girl can love a fictional character - which is a lot by the way)! In fact... I think he may have surpassed my previous favorite anime character of all time... (it's been the same since high school... 6 years ago...) yeah... I think that Makoto has officially replaced Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiay as number one... Wow... Way to go Makoto.
Now as a Makoto fan (and from the fan fiction that I posted yesterday...) I'm sure you can guess what pairing I root for in the love triangle that is Makoto, Haru, and Rin (and yeah that's totally cannon). I'm sorry Rin, but Makoto deserves Haru WAY more than you do. Makoto has been with Haru through everything no matter what. Sigh... I'll stop now or else I'm just going to start ranting... Yeah... MakoHaru is totally my new OTP, it beat out Barnaby/Kotetsu from Tiger & Bunny. I also find it interesting that MakoHaru is one of the only (actually I'm pretty sure it's THE only) pairings that I ship either way; usually I have a distinct uke and seme in my pairings, but MakoHaru is the first one that I'll reverse (although I do have a strong preference for Makoto as the uke - which there is not enough of!)
Anyway... I know there's a lot more to talk about, but... I think I'm going to leave it there for today...
I'll talk to yo all about... something tomorrow...
(I've been using "..." a lot today...)

Babysitting And Swimming Boys
So, I babysat for my cousins for my aunt today; they slept a big chunk of the time and their pretty easy-going as it is so it was pretty easy. At one point (right before nap time) Bradly (the older one - almost 3) kept telling me that he needed to go to the bathroom, but once I got him in there and on the toilet he said he didn't have to. He did this four or five times; I figured out after awhile that he was just doing it to get out of taking a nap, but they just started potty training him so I didn't want it to turn out that one of the times he was telling the truth and then him have an accident.
Anyway, I keep saying that I want to talk about Free! and then putting it off so... I think I'll post some fan fiction for it today because I still don't really have time to talk about it right now... Sorry.
Title: Fairy Tale
Pairing: Makoto/Haru
Once upon a time there was a boy who was in love with the ocean. He lived on a small island where he could be near the water very often and he would play along the shore whenever he could.
Because of his supposed obsession with the ocean he didn’t have many friends; all of them complaining that all the boy ever wanted to do was swim.
He didn’t care though, trying to convince himself that the only friends he needed were the waves.
Then one day a storm came to the small island.
Everyone was advised to stay away from the water that night, but Haru didn’t heed the warnings.
Despite the wind and the rain and the choppiness of the waves he waded out into the water and swam, but as the storm grew more and more fierce he soon could no longer control his movements and was tossed around before he was thrown under the water and his head hit the rocky bottom, knocking him out.
Sometime later Haru awoke in what looked like a seaside cave; he wasn’t sure where he was or how he had gotten there, but he was at least glad for the moment that he was safe.
He spent a few moments looking around the cave, wondering how he could get out and back home when suddenly he noticed a shadow moving under the water.
He stared at the shape for a moment, wondering if maybe it was a shark, when suddenly a head popped out of the water.
Haru blinked at the boy who was now staring up at him; he had brown hair and kind green eyes and he smiled when Haru looked at him.
“I’m glad you’re awake.” The boy said as he swam closer to the edge of the water.
“Did you save me?” Haru asked.
The boy in the water smiled wider and nodded before a slightly more serious look came over his features, “You shouldn’t have been swimming during that storm; if I wasn’t there you could have died.”
Haru gave a “humph” and looked away, “We’ll you were swimming, weren’t you?”
The other boy gave a shy smile and laughed softly, “I guess, but I didn’t have much of a choice.”
Haru blinked and looked back at the other boy at the strange response.
He didn’t question him about it though and instead asked, “What’s your name?”
“Makoto.” The other boy responded with another smile, “What’s yours?”
“Haru.” He answered before moving onto his next question, “Where do you live? I’ve never seen you around the island before.”
Another small laugh, “That’s because I don’t live on the island.”
Haru blinked again, “Then where do you live?”
Makoto just gave a friendly smile before moving closer to the ledge that Haru was on and pulling himself up.
Haru had been wondering why the other was staying in the water for so long, but as he pulled himself up onto the rocks next to Haru it became clear.
Haru stared at the long, fish-like tail that was where the boy’s legs should have been.
“You’re a merman.” Haru finally said after a while as he dragged his eyes away from the tail and back up to the other’s face.
Makoto just smiled and nodded.
After that the two talked for a long while, asking the other’s about their lives and what it was like to live where they did.
After a while though, Haru realized that it was getting rather late and that he should return home, sure his parents didn’t tend to pay much attention to him, but he was sure that even they would begin to worry if he was gone too much longer.
“I need to go home.” Haru said suddenly.
Makoto nodded, “Of course.” He replied, “We’re actually not that far from the shore.” He said as he pushed off of the edge and dropped back into the water, “I’ll show you.”
Haru nodded and slid into the water as well, following the other male as best as he could until they reached the shore.
As they got close Makoto had to stop, not wanting to get to close to the island.
Haru looked back at him.
“Can I see you again?” He asked.
Makoto smiled again, “Yes, I would like that.”
They made plans to hang out again the next day before saying their goodbyes.
Haru then made his way up the sandy shore and to his home.
He was surprised that when he got there his parents hadn’t even seemed to realize that he was gone; he brushed it off and went to bed.
Over the next couple of weeks the two boys spent a lot of time with each other. They would swim together and play and sometimes Makoto would lead Haru back to the cave where they had first met and they would just talk.
After a while Haru wanted to spend less and less time on the land where he was ignored or whispered about behind his back and more and more time in the water with Makoto who seemed to understand him so well even though they had known each other for only a short time.
One day as they were nearing the time that the two of them usually split up for the day Haru voiced these thoughts.
Makoto smiled in return as he blushed softly, “I’m so glad you think that.” He replied, “I- I’ve been thinking the same thing.”
Haru blinked; it was obvious that the other meant more than he was saying.
“I- I think I’m in love with you Haru.” Makoto informed.
Haru gave another blink, but a small smile tugged at his lips, “You are?”
Makoto nodded as he scooted closer to the other boy, “There are legends among my people of merfolk falling in love with humans and when they share their first kiss the merfolk would grow legs instead of a tail so they could live on land with the person they loved.”
Makoto blushed as he explained, but Haru was silent as he listened to the other.
“It’s said that the two must be soul mates in order for the magic to work and I’ve never heard of it working for two boys, but I feel strongly for you Haru and… and if any love was going to be strong enough to turn me human so that we can be together it would be ours.” Makoto continued.
“I know that your life on the land isn’t very happy and you don’t have many friends, but if I turn human then I can always be with you.” Makoto assured.
Haru smiled and nodded, “I’d like that.”
Makoto smiled and scooted even closer, “Then…” He paused and blushed, “May I kiss you?”
Haru nodded and the two leaned forward, pressing their lips together in a tentative first kiss.
Haru felt a strange tingling all over his body as they kissed, but ignored it as he enjoyed the feeling of the others lips.
They pulled away after a few moments and Haru looked down at Makoto’s le- no, he still had a tail; he frowned, had the magic not worked?
But Makoto gasped and pointed to Haru’s own legs, but when Haru looked down at what had surprised the other he was shocked to see that his legs were no longer there and in their place was a shiny, blue tail.
“Wh- What?” Haru questioned.
“I- I guess the magic didn’t work right.” Makoto replied, “I- I’m so sorry Haru; I didn’t mean to.”
Haru stared at the tail before slowly lifting a hand and brushing the new, scaled skin.
After a moment he looked back up at Makoto with a smile on his lips, “No, this is wonderful. Now I can live in the water with you.”
Makoto stared at the other a moment, “Y- You won’t miss the land?”
Haru shook his head, “No one will even notice I’m gone.”
Makoto gave a sad smile at that, but moved closer so that he could hug the other, “I love you Haru; I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Haru blushed as he pulled away from the other, “I want that too.”
Makoto smiled brightly before slipping into the water, “Come on, I want to introduce you to my family.”
Haru laughed softly before following the other boy.
It took him a few moments to get used to his new appendage, but soon he was swimming right along the other.
So, together the two swam off into the ocean. And they lived happily ever after.
END
Well, there you go. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day.

Reorganizing My Life
So today I finally clean/reorganized my room today (I've kind of been putting it off for months). Now my room looks really nice. I also got my alter back up and running again, when my computer is back up I'll post some pictures of that.
I also did some work on the rest of the house - with some help form Sean and Skye. We've really been needing to take care of things so hopefully we can try and keep it looking nice once we get the majority of it taken care of.
Anyway, I know that I said I wanted to talk about Free! but I'm tired from all the cleaning. Hopefully I'll talk about it tomorrow.
See you then!
(I did wear a shirt with Makoto on it all day though...)

Last Day of Soft Desserts
So... sorry about yesterday, but I already said that I probably won'e be able to post everyday...
Anyway, as the title suggest, today was the last day of my Ice Cream, Custards, and Soft Dessert class. We were busy finishing up our final projects - Charlottes. A Charlotte is a dessert usually consisting of a Bavarian cream surrounded by ladyfingers; I made a Charlotte Royale though, which are a little different. I took a picture of it, but I can't transfer pictures onto the computer I'm currently on so I'll be sure to put that up (and many other pictures) when my laptop is doing better.
Well... not much else... I think I'll be talking about Free! tomorrow... seeing as I'm still recovering from what it did to my hear, but that's tomorrow.
Have a good night everyone!

I'm Not Dead Yet
Hey everyone, I know it's been a while, but I'm here. I don't really have much to say today (especially because I'm on a super tiny annoying computer that I keep accidentally pressing the wrong key in because the keyboard is so small...), but I wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive and that I plan on starting up blogging once again (I know we've all heard that before, but I mean it this time). I even made blogging a daily... wait I did that before too didn't I... Oh, well... I;m going to keep blogging; I promise. I will say here and now that I don't guarantee that I will post every day, but I will definitely post more often than I do (not that that's hard...)
Well, let's see if anything interesting has happened lately... Just a lot of school... I'm currently taking Ice Cream, Custards, and Soft Desserts; it's super fun. I made this really delicious pistachio ice cream last week; I was so proud of it, the texture was really nice. This week we are making Charlottes which are deserts combining cake and gelatinous custard. So, that's cool. I'll try to get batter at taking pictures during class so that I can post them, but anyway... Yeah.
I think I've said all I really want/need to say today so yeah... I will be on more often. I hope to talk to all of you later.
Bye
(Yeah, I know no one actually reads this, but I can pretend right...?)
