Puppies and kittens and ♥s!

I'm late but... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] faechan!!!

Lea, my aunt's dog, gave birth to 5 puppies last night!





We thought she was going to have just 3 puppies, so we found only 3 people to give them to; now that there are 2 more, we'll have to find someone else soon to take care of them. Mum is already making noises about taking one.... but I want a cat, not another dog! We already have two and everytime I ask her about getting a cat, she tells me "No, Nasssty, we already have two dogs. We can't take another pet.".... unless it's another dog, apparently. /o\
Don't get me wrong, I love puppies (especially if they're even a tenth like Lea) but I like cats better.

Anyway, we might go see them tonight or tomorrow (so I can take some pictures ♥!)

In other news, the Cat!AU (that I've been referring to as "We Are So Purring") is now at 800ish words... and Brendon has yet to meet the other cats (/o\). I have told my sister how I want the story to go (even if she is not in Bandom, so I had to stop multiple times to explain who was who and what and where) and she seems to like it, but her not being in bandom means she can't tell me if I'm doing it right or not. Also, it's a bit frustrating when you already have all the story planned in your head but everytime I pick up a pen I start sketching scenes instead of writing them because, for me, illustrating is easier than telling. The thing is, I found an old "story block" I bought last year and never used and I started plotting the story there, so now I have something that resemble a storyboard and I've been using that as reference... but translating my sketches in actual words is hard.
Ok, now that I've whined about it I can start again *wanders back to the googledoc*

ETA: I've decided that cat!Ryan's collar will be lacey


ETA2: sort-of-drabbles in the comments

Mice! I fail at grammar when I write in a rush XD
Yes, Shane and Eric are field mice that live in Greta's backyard!

Brendon is a little dumb when it comes to these things. He grew up in a cage, so he hasn't got a lot of experience when it comes to relationships. Mostly, he read teen magazines advices when the shelter lady's niece came to read in the back where the cages were kept. He knows the "10 ways to lose 3 pounds in a week" (they didn't work, Brendon tried them all but his hind legs keeps being more rounded than normal), that his boy type is the "Knight in shining armour" and what the "5 things you can't leave your house without" are (if you are a human. Brendon lacks the opposable thumbs to work a mobile phone).

Aw, Brendon. You have a lot to learn! (can spencer be a knight in shining armour? that'd be so freakin cute)

What the hell, you can really write. You should've started a long time ago! I love you so hard~

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... Brendon does think that Spencer is a knight in shining armour... or a Persian with shining hair, whatever. Granted, he was pissed about the "cookie jar incident", but he did help Brendon get out of it. If it weren't for Spencer, Brendon would have been stuck into the glass jar until Greta came home. Spencer is kind of an angel-cat, except he doesn't have wings and doesn't speak to Brendon unless it's for reprimanding him about "dangerous stunts" and "idiotic behaviour" and "leave the lizards alone, they're way to fast for you". Brendon fears that Spencer sees his as a little inexperienced kitten still in need of his mum and that is not good. AND NOW I HAVE TO STOP BECAUSE OTHERWISE I'LL GIVE UP A MOST IMPORTANT PLOT POINT AND THAT WOULD BE BAD!

If you want we can talk about Pete and Patrick, Joe and Andy's guinea pigs. They leave across the street from Greta and Jon introduced them to Brendon the afternon of the cookie jar debacle because Brendon needed cheering up.

OMG STOP NOW. lol sorry for disturbing your writing process but these are awesome. so so good and cute, you dont even know. where have you been all my life?

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, I meant that I just couldn't continue with that specific part :) You're not disturbing me in the least!
Ah, they're kind of cute, yes, but it's really hard to put all these pieces together in a way that makes sense...

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm kind of worried that I'll have to wait longer for the fic xD just because I'm disturbing you like this.

Ah, I'm not very experienced in writing. You have a plot in mind already?

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, don't worry. I think I'll wait for the end of BBB to post it, and I'm not sure it will be finished for that time, anyway.

Yes, I have the plot (both in bullet points and in story board form!), but writing it is not easy, even if it's fun. I already know what I want to tell and how (mostly); it's just that typing all the images I have in my head instead of drawing them is strange and I don't know how to go about it. My writing process consist in sitting in front of my laptop, fiddle with iTunes and look at the storyboard and then try to find a way to 'tell' what I see.
I'm still at the beginning stage, so everything is still pretty easy, but I fear that I'll smash into a block sometime soon :(

Please, after the BBB. I cant keep up with it at all!

When I used to write (HP fanfics actually xD) I always wrote down the whole story first in simple sentences, scene after scene before starting it out again to redo and add stuff to complete it. everyone has different styles, though.but you HAVE to complete this We are so purring thing, or I'll make cat!brendon cry.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't keep up with it either! SO many beautiful fics, so little time!

I usually do that (for essays and such). I really really really want to complete it because I like to play with it a lot <3
We can't have a crying catbrendon! SpencerCat would shred us to pieces with his killer claws!


Also, I need to find a better title. "We Are So Purring" is hilarious, but I don't know if it would be a suitable title for it....

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm only reading the fics with panic boys as the main pairing, the rest will have to wait :(

omg, i dont need a spencer to attack me! xD

but we are so purring is cute! it's not hilarious at all, seriously!

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
me too :D but I try to comment on all the fanart (because I can't resist).

Spencer is fierce! We have to watch out!

mhm.. you and [livejournal.com profile] raffie79 both like it, so maybe I'll leave it (plus, I named the wip file like that...)

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Let it be the title for now, and after the story's finished, you can think of something else if you want. :D

i gotta go sleep now, you know, it's almost 3 in the morning..

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, mom~
:D night!
