L's birthday and Halloween and the day before NaNo.

-explodes-
I wore my Boogiepop costume to school today. I really wish people would stop trying to figure out what it is. They have no chance, and it's really annoying to explain over and over again to blank looks.
In any case, much of today's freep was devoted to an attempt to think of an L fanfiction idea, for his birthday. Finally with about fifteen minutes left I got one. Wrote about 250 words of that at school and will attempt to finish it right now. I have no idea where it's going, but the nice people who live in the NaNo forums say that this is just fine... @_@

Today was one of L’s “normal” days, which he occasionally took provided that first, he could afford the time and second, he felt like it—he did not always feel like having normal days. But every now and then he did, and on those days he would leave his computer (securely locked, of course) and go out and make-believe that he wasn’t the world’s greatest detective or even a detective at all. On those days he was Luke, or Levi, or Lowell, or whatever other name he could think of beginning with L.
He was, no matter what, an L.
Today he was going for a walk in the crisp, late autumn air. He took particular pleasure in crunching the leaves, brightly-colored in their decay, beneath his feet. With each step he kicked some up, intentionally, like a child. Ahead of him, there was a cat sitting on a wall. It was a dark gray cat, and its back was to him. It must have heard him crunching the leaves as he walked, but it didn’t turn to look at him at all until he said, “Hello, kitty.” Then it lazily rotated its head, looking at him the way that cats do, eyes half-lidded in an expression of bored superiority. L reached out to let the cat sniff his hand, which it deigned to do, giving the hand a single lick. Then L pet the cat, running his hand through its short fur.
It was supremely uninterested in him.

I have no idea what to write. I don't know where I'm going with that at all, so... yeah.
*kowtows* Gomen nasai, L! T^T *fails miserably*
