Stumbling back from the bathroom half asleep, ready to go back to bed? It's the perfect time to slip, trip and jackknife yourself into the head of your bed. The hard, nasty, painful end.

The pastor of my church can unfortunately beat you at that. Stumbling in the bathroom half-asleep because he was suffering from food poisoning, he tripped and fell. One foot caught behind the toilet, resulting in a spiral fracture of the ankle. His head hit in a way that resulted in a bruised spinal column. The doctors aren't sure how he managed to avoid becoming a quadrapeligic.

Random one off: Am I the only one who finds 'Ranma goes to college' fics to be inherently stupid? I just can't see him there.

I could see him in a dorm full of Rumic World-style characters, I just can't figure out what he'd major in.

Good Lord. That's both terrifying and a small miracle rolled up together.

There are days where all you can do is to fight, fight, fight and fight some more. There is a miserable sub-sect of those days where all that fighting is in vain, failure is determined to catch up to you with a furious vengeance.  I hate those days.

So, it turns out that my basis for understanding one of the character dynamics in the Haruhi universe was wrong....

And thus, the premise for K:BDH is also flawed.

God DAMN it.

Folks seem to like it anyway, and I'm looking forward to reading it once I finish the prerequisites. I hope this doesn't ruin the story for you.

It turns out Ranma is a villian according to this source.  Almost all fanfiction I've read is apparently flawed.  The enjoyment garnered is now invalidated.  I have to pay back the created enjoyment debt. ;_;

Wait?  Have...Fun?
Well, Goodbye.

How bad are we talking here?
It's fixable, but I'd wanted to let the series sit on hold for a bit, and now I feel obligated to repair the error even though I was going to take a break....

Bah.

Eh, why not let it ride? Just add an AN at some point explaining what happened. I mean, it wasn't something you could know until now, was it? If it's a good fic people will be willing to accept that.

Cool, lemme know what you decide. I'm curious now.

Right, so ... gonna go with correcting the technical detail and pretending the interpretation was otherwise correct.  Really, that seems to work. >_>;;

A little bit of alternate character interpretation, but then, I kind of already do that for everyone else in the cast anyway.

I'm burned out on work and I need a vacation, but I won't be able to take a vacation for a month at the earliest.
