I had to get a new phone today. I hate getting new phones (new anything, really - I'm a creature of extreme habit, me). Unfortunately, the old one's battery was sort of getting funky - if you let the charge run out, it didn't matter how long you had it plugged in afterwards, it didn't want to come back. *grimaces* And, okay, it was an old phone, eight years old and a hand-me-down, but. *grumps* The phone before that was newer, only a couple years old, but it had a slight accident wherein I dropped it down the toilet -_-; (Hence the hand-me-down replacement)

This one, though, is ... new. *mouth twists* It's ... okay. I mean, it's fine. It's nice and simple, and cheap, since all I require from a phone is that it send/receive calls and messages, and have an alarm. That is literally all. So. The new phone is fine.

It's just ... new. *grumbles*

Original Fiction Musings

Back on the first of my original universe overview posts, someone (I think garinarayne) commented that I seem to play more narrator than protagonist with my original writing. That is, the main characters were not, in most cases, some recognisable version of me. *tilts head* That's ... partially true, I think. There sometimes is a version of me, somewhere among the cast, but usually only in a watcher-type role (I'm thinking of Jared in Jawburn). But, in general, yeah. There isn't anyone in, say Dak Territories, or Southwark, or Spindlebone, or Whore Prince, at least not that I can think of. Heh.

( There are two types of stories that are exceptions to this, I think: )
