Volunteer Work

2010-10-13T12:05:00.005-04:00

Today, just like every other Wednesday for the past month or so, I'll be heading over to the animal shelter to volunteer. I'll probably be just walking dogs, but I think I'll try and play with some cats, too.
It's interesting. I was very skittish about doing this at first, though I can't really figure out why. I think it must have just been nerves, though. There's certainly nothing bad about volunteering. I think I was just nervous to be around new people. Strangely, I've never been nervous around animals I didn't know. Just people.
Obviously, animals don't judge as often as people do. To an animal, all humans seem to look the same, so why worry? Sure, they recognize us once they've gotten to know us or have some reason to fear us, but they don't judge by appearance. It's refreshing.

I had never walked a great pyrenees before, but James was nothing but a fluffy ball of love. And the cats are sweet as can be, if not a bit skittish at first.

However, I think their skittish nature can be easily forgiven. Being in a new place, not knowing when you'll leave, it must be startling and very scary.

God of Dreams

2010-09-06T06:13:00.000-04:00

Long ago, he had made his first appearance. I hadn't known it at the time, but he was to be one of my most beloved acquaintances. Had I known, I like to think I'd have had the good sense to thank him for his trouble of saving me from oblivion, but I was too young at the time. Or perhaps it was not my youth but rather the fact that I am not adept at lucid dreaming. For this man I cherish so was not a man I met in the waking world. No, he came to me in sleep.
It was a party in a white plantation house that brought us together. I was not paying attention to him at that time, but I knew he was nearby. He took a few forms. One moment, he was a fish. The next, a great blue heron. After danger came to me he made his last form known to me.
The party's host was smiling broadly, proud and excited. I thought it to be for the party he was holding. But after I saw it tear through his chest, I realized his real excitement was for the black hole that would consume us all. I don't know what happened to anyone else at the party. They were gone. But I was still in danger of being dragged into the black hole in the host's chest. He still smiled, happy to be providing the black hole with a host. Then, he stepped in. He, the one who had taken on the forms of both a predator and prey animals, came forth and took me away. He flew over the moor surrounding the plantation house. I didn't look at him myself. I saw us both flying. His white wings spread wide, purple suit of armor shining bright in the sunlight, long, blonde hair streaming as the wind blew through it. I knew his name. His name was Gabriel.
Gabriel and I landed in a valley. It was lush and beautiful, with shafts of sunlight streaming from the sky from no discernible clouds. He made sure I was safe, then I woke. I never forgot him. His kindness to me, his protection. I felt he was my guardian angel. I never believed this in a religious sense, though. I knew no religion could do justice to the comfort I had been brought in my very own dream. I immediately drew a picture of him as best I could. The armor had been in somewhat of an anime style, if you will. It curved smoothly along his body, following its own unique abstract curves. His long hair was loose, not held back in any ties of any sort.
Eventually, my home life grew more and more stressful. My parents finally started to drift apart, and I hoped now and then that I would get to see Gabriel again. I prayed for it, even, when times were harsh. But no matter how I remembered him, no matter how I hoped, he didn't come back.
It wasn't until after I turned twenty years old that I again dreamt of a winged man who looked out for me. This time, however, the winged man was in a demon's form. A demon named Illidan. That was the form I recognized, but it was not the same character. I knew it was Gabriel. But could I even call him that? In the dream, he and I flew about, searching for trouble to stomp it out. There was evil hidden in the houses below inside the fireplaces, and we had to stop it. We handily took care of several trouble spots. But even more, he flew with me in his arms. He let me glide below him, holding me up by my upper arms. It was glorious.
When I woke, I felt nothing but love in my heart. I could do nothing for that day but pine for him. My heart full of love quickly shattered as I realized the problem: I was in love with someone I would never be able to meet by choice. Perhaps I would never meet him again at all. The thought depressed me, but it also brought me clarity. This was why I had never felt very attached to any other men in my life. Even Dereck, the man I'd married in good faith, hadn't meant as much to me as I found my angel now did.
But who was he really? I had been sure of his name at first, but when I met him again in my second dream, I felt there was no name attached to him. I still think of him as Gabriel, of course, but to take on such a monstrous form was startling to know it was the same man. I wondered about this for a while. Perhaps I hadn't seen anything different of him. After all, he was still kind. He still cared for me in my sleep. He took me in his arms, and we flew. I felt even more companionship now, since we had been a team.
Today I was at the mall. As usual, I wanted to stop by the Earth Magic store. I really can't resist going in there when I see it, so it wasn't an unusual trip. I was there with Josh, my boyfriend. We were looking at the various statuettes at the back of the store, and I saw one in metal of an armor-clad angel raising a sword to strike down a demon under his foot. I stared at the statuette for a while. It wasn't quite him. He was certainly impassive enough to pass for Gabriel, but it wasn't him. I saw another statuette on another shelf. This was a statuette of a shirtless, winged man holding a human girl in his arms. Her face was set gently on his shoulder. I took a picture of it, but can't stand to look at it. He was a blonde angel with white wings. His hair was long. The girl looked as though she wasn't clinging to him, nor about to kiss him. The girl looked as though she simply needed his shoulder for comfort.
I've been at a loss for what to think of this man of my dreams for a while now. I've thought about it. Perhaps he's Hypnos, the god of sleep himself, insuring I get good rest when he's got time. Or maybe he is just my own guardian. Or a guardian of many, making the rounds to me only at certain times. Anyone rational and smart would say that this is just a dream, and it's interesting that it's recurred at all. I would be better off believing it, but I can't. You could say that it's just a sense of ego that some humans have more of than others. An ego that says "I know what I saw" when questioned and suggested other possibilities. In this case, I fear I will go this route. I feel too deeply that this dream man wasn't a part of me. I knew his name, this is true. But I didn't know him. I wondered if he'd ever come back. He struck me that deeply. I've met other people in my dreams before, but I never remembered any of them. Just him.
If only it were so simple to just dream whatever I wanted. If I had any hand in it, though, I'd know it was faked by my own imagination. It wouldn't feel as good. Again, my ego. I want to believe, even if it hurts.
I have to wonder, though. It feels as though I ought to have known him even before the first dream. There was an earlier dream I had that consisted of myself on the ground, holding to a sitting German shepherd while people crowded around. When the people would try getting close, all of them shadows, the dog would keep them away. The whole dream, I heard "Look What You've Done" by Jet playing. It was strange. But it was comforting. I felt safe with that dog.
Maybe it's just the feeling of safety that clings to me. Maybe that's why I remember these dreams and not others. My other repeating dreams are only repeating in terms of theme: I leave one place and arrive somewhere else. I do have a history of trying to avoid the lot in life I seem to have in terms of home and family.
All I hope is that he'll be there when I need him again. Though I want him now, I know that if it's not the right time, he won't be here. I can wait, though. I've all the patience in the waking world to devote to him.

SPOILER ALERT:

ARTHAS DIES

LOLZ

zomg write it down

2010-01-30T13:22:00.002-05:00

I have left everything behind. The family I had, the woman I loved, neither are important now. My power has grown. Outland, the accursed piece of rock I traveled to, held no golden future. Kael'thas' promises led us astray. I will play no pawn of the Legion. And now... I will play no pawn of Illidan's. My own path has been plotted on the map, my own story struck into the chords of history. And through all my life, through every loss, I have decided only one purpose in the world is great enough for one such as myself: To be the spiller of demon blood, to relish my blades sinking into the twisted creatures of the Burning Legion. Archimonde is slain. Kil'jaeden still waits. And soon... Sargeras will taste my fury as I have tasted his. Only this time, he will realize who he has trespassed against. He will learn what it truly means to cross a demon hunter.

Pretty Cool Fanfic

2010-01-05T13:54:00.000-05:00

I think The Shadows Grow Longer is a pretty cool fanfic. Eh, captures Jaina and doesn't afraid of anything.

Janus' Intervention

2010-01-04T14:27:00.002-05:00

While reading a fanfiction, moments ago, I was nearly overcome by the most terrible fear I've felt.
The fanfiction itself is a hypothetical about if Arthas were to capture Jaina. So far, he has her in a cell, taunting her with memories of what they had. After agonizing words, he says,

“Brave words,” he repeated with a sneer. Then his stance softened, and resting a hand against the wall he leaned to the side. “So,” he began in a ridiculously conversational tone, “how’ve you been these past years, Jaina? It really has been too long.”

At that point, I was gripped with memories of Dereck. It sounded just like the type of jackass, insensitive sort of thing he would say in such a moment. I froze, then shrank away from my screen, staring at the words. I set my head in my hands. My eyes began to water.
But just then, I remembered what I had read on my calendar about the month of January: a time of looking forward, remembering past mistakes and learning from them, but not dwelling.
"Janus," I said, calling on the name of the two-faced Roman god of the new year.
My fear faded instantly. My eyes stopped watering. The heavy weight in my chest lifted.

Keeping track of ideas

2010-01-03T03:15:00.002-05:00

From an AIM conversation, these are my posts:

Dusk watched as the broken bound Leotheras' wrists, prying the warglaives from his clenched hands. He understood now. "Leotheras!" he called out. Leotheras looked up, his face twisted in rage. "You mock me as well, Sorrowdusk?!" he shouted.
Dusk shook his head as his comrade was positioned. "I... I understand now!"
"What are you saying," Leotheras growled. His face sank into impending despair as channelers made their way into the room.
"My brother... I get it. Why you saved me." Dusk winced as he realized that for once, strong and determined Leotheras was frightened.
The bound hunter stared at Dusk. "Well? Say it, then!"
Dusk shook his head. "This is the reason. To save you in return... From yourself."
Leotheras watched Dusk for a moment, growling as he resisted the clench of a spell on him The channelers were numerous, filing the room.
Dusk lowered his head, gripping his glaive tightly.
"I... I have to save you in return." He straightened up, leaping for the nearest channeler. The world slowed down. Blood sprayed as Dusk
slashed through throats, the glaive spreading the blood along its fine curved blade. Leotheras struggled against his bindings, shouting in Thalassian. Dusk didn't listen. He knew his destination now as his blade sang with the vibrations given to it by the channelers' bones
against it. He roared, draining the mana in the air to himself. He was no longer of the Illidari. He was not the Legion's. He was not a Farstrider. He was Sorrowdusk. He was a friend to Leotheras. And he would not allow his friend, his comrade, to be taken so easily by these
wretched, lesser beings. He would not allow them to-- An arrow pierced Dusk's stomach.

this is where the matron of the naga, the serpentine race that have taken the demon hunters in, interrupts, stopping dusk's killing spree.))
and she is this one: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/wowwiki/images/thumb/e/e8/Lady_Vashj.jpg/200px-Lady_Vashj.jpg ))
she basically tells him "shut the hell up stop what you're doing" and her guards stop dusk.

Dusk looked back at Leotheras, panting. His fellow hunter's skin was becoming darker in its magic hue... Shadows began engulfing him again.
Leotheras stared back at Dusk. A scent reached Dusk's nose.
Fear... Terrible fear.
"I... I can save him! Damnit!" Dusk lunged for Leotheras, but powerful, scaled hands gripped his arms, holding him back.
Leotheras slumped over slowly, letting out a quiet breath. He remained standing, but unable to support himself. The broken channelers recited a spell. Dusk recognized it immediately. It had been used often at the Temple.
Banishment.
Dusk froze against his retainers, staring in horror. *thinking* No...

but dusk is realizing what the naga will end up doing with leotheras.
since when he's in such a state of no control, he'd make a good mindless brute for them to use. he would attack anyone after they let him loose, destroying assailants.
after that, all they would have to do is simply banish him again.

The Abusive Love Affair With My SS WoW Mouse

2010-01-01T11:08:00.002-05:00

It was a long time since I had reconnected my simple Logitech mouse. A long time, indeed. I had been using the Steel Series World of Warcraft Gaming Mouse. You know the one. Fifteen buttons, lights up, brushed steel paint job.
Piece of crap when you hook it up to a mac.
First of all, no drivers. None. It's $100 from a retailer. Maybe less online. I don't know. But no drivers for the Mac use of the mouse. Though it is advertised as being OSX compatible. Sure, it is compatible--if all you want to do is hook it up and use it as a two-button scroll mouse. The only button that naturally worked other than the usual buttons and wheel: the little tiny one on the left side. Pressing it would activate auto run, a staple for any adventurer without a mount, or anyone who has to fly across Northrend for no good reason.
About a month ago, I started to notice something strange on the left mouse button: An orange spot was showing through the paint. I had thought at first that the brushed steel look was created through the use of a two-tone metallic plastic. Wrong. It was painted. And I had worn it off with my constant finger presence. I painted some decoupage medium on it and went along my way. It looked stupid. Yes, it did. It wasn't even orange. It was sickly pink orange. Puke plastic under a brushed steel paint job. Yuck.
The auto run button became the next problem. I no longer could simply lightly press it to activate auto run. Now, it demanded that I hold it down for about a fourth of a second. Of course, that isn't much time at all, and I realize that. But I had to press it with purpose. I couldn't just lightly tap it anymore.
An acrylic woven cord covered the mouse's wire protectively, shielding it from damage and looking nice to boot. The mouse's position on the desk's keyboard tray, however, proved to be too much, as it had started to fray in the position it most often came in contact with the corner of the tray. The mouse was bulky. It was hard to move. It was a bit heavy. It had some strange balancing fins on it. These made the cord's abuse even worse as I would desperately try to swing the mouse from my action bar back to the party interface while healing.
The tracking was slow. About 50% slower than any Logitech mouse (the brand I'm most familiar with, obvious by now). Tracking was at max. The mouse didn't seem to give a damn.
It's been a painful time. I've had to get used to a bulky mouse with fifteen buttons that don't all work without the drivers to program them in order to perform better, and all the while the paint wears off.
...
Awesome mouse, Blizz. Awesome product, Steel Series.
Awesome.

Welcome back, sweetums. Let's lower that tracking speed just a tad, mm?

CRAFT COCAINE

2009-12-28T00:01:00.003-05:00

Lol's. So I just downloaded the WoW Fansite kit from WoW's official site. It's full of a bunch of stuff I don't quite understand, such as just about anything involved with web programming. Let's see... I have now a bunch of logos (for original, BC, and WotLK respectively), some renders of Arthas (both his badass Wrath model and his... somewhat ugly Culling of Stratholme model), some avatars for forums (The ones in the lvl 80 avatars folder look like lvl 60 avatars), borders, stuff like that. Interesting...

So, what the hell did you get for christmas?

2009-12-25T13:27:00.002-05:00

Holidays? Whatever it is you celebrate, winter-time festivities! What'd you do? Where'd you go? What'd you get?

What I got:
new cd: Kamelot "The Black Halo"
bunches of white chocolate
gold chocolate coins
awesome socks
awesome sweater
black ripped tights
a dvd with digital copy of "UP"
two magazines to tickle my art bone
a witch's calendar
a new purse
two WoW game cards

Where I will be going: Probably just staying home. I really doubt I'm gonna be going over to my uncle's or aunt's or anything.

What I'll do: Take a shower and eat!

This new cd, I'm listening to it now, mmmmmmm. Loving it.
Hope you all have a good time this season. :)

Hmm... Neat

How to make a Gordon

2009-12-15T23:01:00.007-05:00

It starts very simple: Find a picture. This one will work!

Next, take out the messy background. Let's put our soon-to-be-Gordon in City 17. That light in the background matches the light on the Gordon!

For this Gordon, I burned his chin to make the goatee, copy+pasted some nerd glasses on, then drew frames around them to match Gordon's iconic glasses, and found a picture of a crowbar on the internet. Color replacement fixed that blue crowbar right up!

No Gordon is complete without the Lambda symbol, though. I didn't feel like copy+pasting a whole HEV suit onto this guy, so I drew one and burned it up a bit!

Now, you have your very own Half-Life 4 Gordon Freeman! This is the one where he doesn't have an HEV suit, and instead runs around in jeans and a wifebeater. That's just how badass he is, now. *nod*

Goings-on

2009-12-06T08:24:00.002-05:00

It's been a rather long time since I posted anything worthwhile on this blog, so I'll let you know what I've been up to.
--Sintas is in an rp guild on ER (finally) that actually rp's. Granted, it's simple clan style rp, but it's kind of fun to watch from there as Echelon Militia and Conjurers Court go at it. Silly drama bits.
--I've been working on a fan fiction (fanfic) for Sintas. It's viewed through the link to the right of this post. In the link bar. With all the other links. Though they're not really in bar form... Link stack? Eh.
--I'm thinking I'll write one for Sorrowdusk, too. I've been told it would be a cool idea, so... Eh.

In other news, screenshots are fun to play with in photoshop. Nice effects can be done on them to make them more realistic. Well, not realistic, but less pixelated and less obviously game models. I posted the two I've done below, as well as use one for the banner on Sint's fanfic site.

Gimme comments, guys. <3 Haven't talked to you people who know this blog in forever.

The Most Useless WSG of All Time

2009-09-04T20:50:00.006-04:00

I shit you not. Can you say clusterfuck? This was awesome. When we first ran out, we stayed in tree form, so when the horde saw us coming, they just stood around on their mounts staring at us for a minute. Then they figured out they couldn't kill us.

Recent pics of me

While watching Blizzcon!

2009-08-21T16:33:00.013-04:00

This is my list of notes on the awesomeness being unveiled.
By the way, about the screenshots: sorry about them, but I have to keep the quality at medium to be able to load it properly. Even still, it sits around buffering often.

-7 new zones
-Lush southern Barrens
-Orgrimmar gets wrecked
-Barrens ripped in half
-Flyers in Azeroth
-Yes, Worgen and Goblins
-Heroic Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep
-Twilight Highlands
-Hillsbrad belongs to Horde now
-Deathwing Returns
-Phasing zones
-New PVP stuff, Garrosh controls Horde forces
-Still not caring much about PVP stuff
-New level flow
-Desolace isn't quite so desolate anymore. A crack from the Cataclysm in the land there allows water to flow in. Yay, irrigation!

Some probably won't believe me on some of this. Really, Heroic Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep?

Believe me. I shit you not.

An example of the new level flow. What they're basically doing is changing the level ranges for the zones. This relates to Horde claiming Hillsbrad, too, since that makes the whole upper half of the Eastern Kingdoms better for the leveling flow from Tirisfal.

As of right now, I haven't heard anything about Malfurion returning D: sadface.

So, mum and dad's reaction to my nerdgasm?
*eyeroll*
Yep. Mum and dad -and- sis are pretty annoyed with all my WoW interest, it seems like.
I'll say the teenager cliche, though, and say that they don't get it.
To explain simply, I want to work for this company that makes these awesome games. That's what I want to work towards in college, not to -just- be a fan my whole life. So I guess if they don't get it after I've explained it to them, screw 'em. I'll go into computer animation, I'll work hard at it, and I'll work at Blizzard. Whether they roll their damn eyes or not.

Second day:

-Whoever this comedian is, I -really- hate him.
-Mistress of Pain cosplay: AWESOME.
-Girl who did the tidbit of Lament of the Highborne: AWESOME
-Guy in kilt doing Talon King Ikiss... wow. Very well done, for something that retarded and annoying to hear in-game! (sort of a compliment)
-Jared doing the Draenei male dance: AWESOME, got the crowd going, hope he gets something!
-LoL @ TAFKAL80ETC lawl
-Can these Directv airheads talk any longer? And how many recaps must they give us?
-imho: you can't be -that- hardcore of a player when you're presentable for tv. lawl.
-Finally the Directv airheads shut up so Ozzy can play. =D "Bark At the Moon" first, of course. Go worgen!

Amidst the Confusion

2009-08-17T23:19:00.002-04:00

SO. About those goblins and worgen! Obviously they're the only interest anyone has in the new expansion, other than Onyxia and Ragnaros' returns. But let's get down to business.
Fellow lore whores are having the most trouble with this whole situation. So I'll explain it as it's been explained on other sites, starting with goblins, since they take the least amount of time to explain.

If you know anything about Deathwing (formerly Neltharion), then you know he employed goblins in the past to do his work for him. Well, in Cataclysm, the story is that he's calling on the goblins to serve him again. And since they can't exactly say no, they obey.
Except for a small group. (think eredar/draenei style) They resist, and become shipwrecked on an island off the coast of the Barrens. Somehow they stop an Alliance ship, and somehow that ship has an orc held captive. That orc turns out to be Thrall, and so the goblins tell him of their plight. He's grateful for their aid, of course, and offers them a place in the Horde. They accept. Yay, goblins! I'm still not sure what this means for the Steamwheedle Cartel, but we'll find out soon enough.

Now, the worgen of course are annoying the shit out of some people for being on the Alliance side. "Oh, but they look like animals! They're not an alliance-ey race!" Yeah, well draenei look like demons. Get over it. XP
So. Worgen are from another dimension originally, but are able to infect others with Lycantrope, which is the same as becoming a werewolf. Arugal, of course, found a way to summon worgen without the Scythe of Elune, but eventually couldn't control them himself. They ended up infecting the town of Pyrewood near Shadowfang Keep, making the residents humans by day and worgen by night. This infection spread to Gilneas, just south of Silverpine, despite the Gilneans' efforts to shut themselves off from the world. Unlike Pyrewood, though, the Gilneans have developed some manner of cure for this; they're able to keep their human minds intact, but are still nonetheless worgen. The Cataclysm, whatever the terrible disaster that befalls Azeroth is, ends up shattering their wall. Now that they have to contend with the rest of the world again, they seek allies, and are accepted into the Alliance.

But if anyone still can't get over this shit, just think. Flying mounts... In Azeroth...

Exploring Hyjal...

Malfurion returns...

Mmmmmmmm, Malfurion...

Blizzard's Fan Situation

2009-08-11T15:07:00.004-04:00

The masks in question. Above are the goblin masks, which kind of look like Shrek knockoffs, and the worgen masks, which look good enough to be from expensive Japanese CGI porn.

On wow.com, it's been stated that it's 99.99999% positive that worgen and goblins will be the new races for the next expansion pack, named Cataclysm. Now, some probably think that Blizz would be pretty pissed about this kind of leak, especially after trying to claim that it was too early to tell (or whatever the hell they said), but you must remember this is a business. No matter what you yourself make of this game, this wonderful fantasy world that you visit regularly, it -is- a business, it -is- a product.
So let's take our awesome business analyst skills and look at this. People weren't too sure about Wrath of the Lich King, even though it was hyped up. They didn't know what all to expect, and therefore many stopped playing before resubscribing to join in the Northrend playground. Particularly, there was much ado about whether or not you'd be allowed to fly. Five thousand gold to fly on a super-fast mount that you may not get to use in the next expansion? Well, I don't think I'm too sure if I want to bother subscribing if it's going to be like that...
But with leaks of information coming out, people will be (especially on rp servers) thinking about what all they'll want for their new goblin or worgen character! They'll be farming cash, gathering some rp gear perhaps, and making placeholder characters with the names they'll want. To Blizzard's business gurus, that means they'll resubscribe. The players will be busy with making sure they have what they want for the next round of payments. So really, this seems to me like an intentional leak. I guess this relates to my vision of Blizzard's facilities being akin to Fort Knox, but that's just me.
I realize of course that many people have already talked about this, but hey. This is my two cents. Plus, I'm really looking forward to seeing worgen being playable. (if you have any idea what i rp as, you know why) And if not? Well, after all this hype, Blizz would be ridiculously braindead to not include them.

Drawgasm

2009-07-25T20:38:00.003-04:00

This is the result of a drawgasm from last night, finished at 1:30 am. This is pretty damned hopeful for me, since I was freaking out about the fact that I couldn't just start drawing stuff whenever I wanted to. (stupid me, I never could anyways) I was worried, though, since I would have an idea, get my stuff together, try to draw, and my hand just wouldn't work. I'm guessing it has something to do with muscle groups in my hands being unused and only committed to typing, or maybe just the fact that I couldn't focus on an idea.

About the drawing, though. My grand idea was for life and death to be represented by two characters, Sintas and Thalamanos (aka Nightscourge). Sin is a druid and Thal is, of course, a death knight. Sin's in-character concern at the moment is that the natural world isn't about to accept death knights as part of the world. And if you think "well, machines aren't, either," then consider the fact that machines don't ask for respect or breathe. They also haven't recently quit serving an evil lord that decimated most of a continent. But anyways, the idea was that life and death were arguing. Life said she was better off without death, but death had the point that nothing lives forever and that everything dies eventually. I guess it was easier to explain when I was hatching the idea and drawing it, but still. That's the basis of it.

So in the real world, we just got new ceiling fans installed. My room and my mom's room didn't have one to begin with, so those are new. The living room had one, but it didn't work, so the fan blades were taken off anyways. So we get new ceiling fans, and our youngest cat, Gracie, is afraid of them. Mum throws a fit about this, since she's worried that Gracie will be scarred for life because of the ceiling fans. True enough, Gracie was freaked out by them and would meowl about them, glancing up at them constantly. But now she's in the living room with the fan on, playing with a milk ring. (you know, the ones from right under the lid when you open a new jug of milk) So I'd say the cat crisis is over. Remarkably, our other cat, Charlie, was very unphased by them.

IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIVE

2009-07-11T16:03:00.002-04:00

HEYYYYYYY I haven't posted on this thing in forever. I'm even too lazy to check when that last post was. Some changes have taken place in my life since then. I'll try to get you all up to speed.
1.) I got married to a high school buddy of mine.
2.) I moved to Virginia with my new husband
3.) My husband decided to not go to work so we ended up broke in a matter of about three months.
4.) My husband got picked up by the cops for not going to work (he's a marine). I got picked up by my parents and taken home.
5.) My grandma is now in a nursing home and doing hella better than she was when at her house. (she misses being home though of course)
6.) I got a short job at the Bass Mansion, aka Brookside, working on paint analysis for the restoration of it.
7.) I've applied to the University of Saint Francis and have an admissions essay I'm working on.
8.) I still play WoW, of course. Yes, I'm an addict.

I haven't drawn much lately, but I'll post what I've gotten done so far in the next post I do. I also don't have a scanner still :( too bad so sad, I guess. For now, I'm going to go through my posts and figure out which pictures have bad links and won't open anymore.

The lack of activity on my blog can be explained easily! I've been posting a lot of art and comics and stuff (most of the comics are old though, sorry) on Artbistro.com. My name on there is JaneLeonard :D check it out sometime

Two New Pics!

2008-08-28T08:00:00.004-04:00

Pretty little Sinty picture! If I had a scanner, it'd be so much better... Did this one with colored pencil.

This would have to be the creepiest, coolest picture I've ever drawn of Alli. Freakin sweet. <3

So, for a while now, I've been hanging around my grandma's house all day all week. When I say all day, I mean from about 9 am to 6 pm. I've been there to keep an eye on grandma to make sure she doesn't fall and gets something to eat/finishes what she's eating. The thing is, she sleeps almost all day. Plus, dad's over there often. Goddamn, he is so fucking depressing and such a guilt tripper... All I've been eating is fast food. I don't wanna freakin gain weight. I think I already have gained some. This whole situation hasn't helped my problem with being back and forth between mum and dad, either.

I asked mum if it would be out of line for me to ask dad to pay me a little bit hourly. She said maybe about $5 per hour would work. I only want to get paid because what I'm really doing is covering dad's ass all day. As soon as I suggested it to him on my ride home that night, though... He was trying to give me reasons for why I wouldn't need to be out there after this week. I gave him plenty of reasons why I would be out there (such as "hey dad, don't you have to work or something?") and after he still wouldn't budge, once we got back to the apartment and I was getting out, I put it plainly for him. If he doesn't pay me, I won't be out there. In other words, he won't see me anymore. Simple as that. That shut him up pretty fast.

So you don't have to look them up

2008-07-01T07:53:00.002-04:00

Ok... This is stupid. Er.

2008-06-26T21:12:00.002-04:00

Saw this first on the Colbert Report. It's from John McCain's site... omg...

Oh boy, it's random time!

2008-06-09T08:58:00.003-04:00

YouTube videos on a random subject.

HOWARD DEAN!!

Howard Dean & Slipknot
Howard Dean scream and people getting OWNED.
The Howard Dean Story: more BYAAA than you can handle.

Howard Dean is a politician, if anyone didn't know. As is...

DICK CHENEY

Go Fuck Yourself, Dick Cheney
Dick Cheney would like to say... Go fuck yourself.
Never before seen footage of the hunting accident!... Well, it's from YouTube so it's been seen before but... yeah.

No, I -don't- want a comic about sex.

2008-05-21T14:12:00.012-04:00

Bitching time.

If you go to Top Webcomics, you'll see a hundred cool webcomics that people vote for. My problem is... the descriptions. No, in fact, I don't want a comic about sex. Or sex with furries. Or gay sex. Or lesbian sex. Or any other "interesting sexual roads." What the hell happened to good fantasy/adventure comics? Granted, there are a lot of those on there, but goddamn, guys, way too many of them are about fucking in interesting ways.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that there's more to life than that. And more to storylines than that. I don't care if I sound like some uptight bitch by saying this, but seriously... People are running out of ideas. I've noticed it myself. I've been writing lately, and I can't help but think "Hey, this sounds kinda like ." It's so great to feel as though you've made something original, something fresh, something people haven't seen before. But it's getting harder and harder to figure out stories... At least Allidar's rp is kind of interesting and new-ish. I'm guessing someone somewhere has already thought of that, but y'know, it's kind of like that idea where if you put enough monkeys on enough typewriters for long enough, you'll eventually, from the sheer number of possibilities, get the works of Shakespeare.

Now that I think of it... that'd be interesting. See if you can get a random word generator. Say, a version of Microsoft Word that puts random words in a document. See how many tries it takes for it to make sense.

Free art via mail for whoever figures that out and can prove it.

New pictures

2008-05-14T13:55:00.004-04:00

Ain't it a bitch to have no scanner? Sorry about the blurriness. I ended up taking pictures of these with a regular camera. The big project turned out alright, but the others are kinda questionable. (especially the one of Sinty) But it's something, at least, right? Comment please :O

Time for some webcomic listings!

2008-05-06T14:02:00.003-04:00

Alright, so I've found a few neat webcomics. Some of these you may already know, but some of them might be new. Anyways, here they are. <3
Xylia: A Faerie Tale. A nicely-drawn comic, I'd say. Sort of the same quality as Phoenix Requiem. (that one takes forever to get to a storyline though) If you can stand the sappy little scenes of the guy with the faerie girl, then you'll be good. Plenty of people know of VG Cats, but now there's a bit of a spinoff: Super Effective. Ya remember, in Pokemon, when you would get a good hit against an enemy that was weak to the type of attack you used... "It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!" Makes me lawl. Lawl. LFG Comic, as I already have linked to the side, is a neat comic, mostly due to Richard. A few fun animations are on it too, check out "Slaughter Your World." FOR PONY!! (read it and find out what that is) Penny Arcade, that stupid POS that I keep coming back to, is still one of my favorites. It's mostly entertaining to see how goddamn psycho these guys can get. By the way, don't look at a picture of them in real life. It's taboo. <3 Ctrl+Alt+Del is a strange one. <3 Gotta love it, though. Fun little storylines, mostly about gaming. Gaming and, of course, the girlfriend's responses to the main guy's antics keep it going pretty well.

Anyways, as you can see, I really REALLY suck at critiquing webcomics. On Top Web Comics.com, though... seriously, more people need to check out the intelligent comics and vote for those. Screw Twisted Kaiju Theater. Really stupid. But its high rank is a good indicator of just how many morons are on the internet.

Oh, and look for a comic called Gone With The Blastwave. I tried to find it, but it's hard to figure out where the hell it is with all the people talking about blast waves from various bombs in real life. It's pretty good though ^^ I haven't had the chance to check it out for a while, though. =O Mostly because I can't find it! If you find it, link it please. <3

Smells like children...

2008-05-01T13:53:00.002-04:00

Again, from photography class, we went to the elementary school playground to take some pictures of kids at play. My other three were pretty good (but they're saved as photoshop files so the site won't load them) but this is one that Mr. Baierwalter, my teacher, wouldn't let me use. He cracked up when he saw it, but he said it would be too embarrassing for the girl in the picture. Oh well, I still like it <3 And you all get to see it. <3

Can you believe this?

2008-05-01T10:41:00.002-04:00

The George W. Bush Store

Honestly. Can you believe this shit? A George W. Bush store? With items that say "thank you?" The site says it's popular, but I suspect its shoppers are more like my friend Caylyn, here. She wants one of the buttons just to be sarcastic. What would be funnier than wearing a shirt that says "Thank You" with a giant W on it? Some of the items are pretty ridiculous... Cufflinks? Honestly. Yard signs? Really, now...

Discuss! Disgust! Whichever!

A pretty ring and a nicely-composed picture

2008-04-30T14:17:00.002-04:00

A couple of pictures from photography class. Well... one, anyways. The first one is one of my many attempts to take a picture of my ring that I wear <3 The second one, I edited in photoshop, but since the teacher demands for the files to be saved with .psd, it won't load onto blogger. So I do have a better version of it, but I just can't get it x.x

Naxxramas

2008-04-29T10:04:00.000-04:00

And this is why we should get a Naxx raid going.

New pics!

2008-04-21T08:09:00.004-04:00

Alright. Lemme explain these.
The first one is a pic that I remade of ANOTHER pic that I had drawn of this already happening. That's my pally chickie, Levy, and a weird guy named Ethan who had an odd habit of sniffing her. So that's why she looks freaked out and that's what he's doing.
The second one... You guys are gonna hate it :P I've been rping on Moonguard a lot lately (yes, that's where i've been, i'm not dead) and have been rping as Allidar, my blood elf boy. (he's the one with the short black hair) You guys probably would cringe if you saw this server. I, however, am a sick freak and kinda like it. There's not as many (as -many-) morons on it like there are on ER. People tend to actually respect rp. (people -tend- to) Anyways... So this demonic guy pisses Alli off. The demon's kinda satyr-ish, in that he's all about partying, fun, romping around, mindless orgies, stuff like that. So when Alli decides "alright, can't take it anymore, gonna kill you," what does the demon guy do in his defense? Makes Alli gay for like an hour. Alli ends up being bi. I swear, I haven't even played there that much, or rp'd there much, but tons of shit has already happened.
It's kinda fun rping as a dude though, since when I get into arguments, I always win since I'm a girl -controlling- a guy. But yeah... Those two kinda get weird, since I've been passing myself oocly as a guy X3 Kinda fun, really, since it's not perverted like guys who have femme chars are. Cuz they're all like "Nyurr lookit her butt lolololol." Not like "Oooooh this is interesting rp..." And plus...
NO ONE ASKS IF HE'S ON HIS PERIOD IF HE'S ANNOYED!!!!!! Means a lot for people to not assume that's the reason for every time I get annoyed! It's trading sexism for sexism though, since every time I get involved in something that goes wrong, if it's two girls against me, I'm always to blame. And I usually turn out to be just someone who was kinda there at the wrong time...

But yeah so that's what I've been up to. You?

One old, two new

2008-04-11T13:37:00.006-04:00

A few things, one of which was supposed to be posted MONTHS ago. The cake, sorry about the link... Tried to link it from my email. Dumb idea. The other two, though, are my Blood Elf boy, Allidar.

70's?

2008-04-09T14:23:00.002-04:00

I'm gonna say this: you can have as many 70s as you want, but they'll never be "good enough" unless you play them nonstop and get them into the best instances/raids/pvp/arena teams you can find. (i'd still like to find some sort of good arena team :P)
So about that, it's time for me to bitch and rant.
Alright. If I find a character that I sort of like to play as (or rp as, whichever), then for christ's sake DON'T BITCH ABOUT IT. That shit gets so old SO fast. "Aww why don't you play (character's name) anymore? Jeez, don't be so lame." Seriously. I could do the same about everyone else, but I don't. Why? Because I hate it when people do that. Why would I do it too?
So fuck y'all if you don't like me skipping out on Sin or Tele or Levy or whoever. I try to have fun. Hard to do if I'm getting bitched at for trying, though.
Another note. Nia, why the hell do you hate playing as your new char so much? I mean I know, she's a girl, it's weird for you to play as a girl, but as I've said like two million times already, I've been playing as a dude. You think I'm doing any differently? No. Not at all. It's still weird. So either suck it up and stop complaining or just delete her if you hate her so much.

The Joy of Spamfire

2008-03-31T22:10:00.011-04:00

Let me tell you, Druids do NOT go down without a fight.
The guild Sintas is in was looking for a healer for regular Magister's Terrace. I figure "what the hell, might as well," and offer to heal. A dps slot was open, so Elfy got to go too. The guys say they just have Kael'Thas to deal with, so I'm thinking "Oh, cool, short and sweet."
Little did I know it would become the most FUCKING EXCITING moment I've ever had on a goddamn game.
So the group goes to Kael, wipes, and I realize I can't figure out what I'm doing. Sure, I heal as Sin all the time! What's different this time?... The weather outside is heavy rain, so the room's gotten humid. I'm used to playing with dry hands. Not... humidly damp hands. Nasty. So I keep trying to figure out what to do. Can't do much about my hands. Sweater? I'm getting chilly... No, that just makes it worse. Take the sweater off. Fuck, now I'm COLD. Put the sweater on. Leave the sweater on and suffer through it.
Anyways, the first tank (first, in relation to when I joined the group : / ) eventually has to leave, so we get our handy dandy prot pally from the guild to come along. So we all run into the boss room, wipe, and I go through my sweater routine again. End up with it on again. The guys in the group are trying to get me psyched to heal! But all they say is why I should hate Kael and how I should picture him going gay for my man and taking him from me. (their idea, not mine) All that does is make me want to run in there as Tele and slaughter the hell out of Kael. I probably wouldn't be able to but hey, that's the desire that sprung up.
So after another try, a rogue in the group says it'll be his last try for the night before he leaves. I then realize "Wait a minute... I know what I've been doing wrong. I've been thinking of this as Kael'Thas, the raid boss in tempest keep. But now... he's just a puny lil' FIVE-MAN BOSS!! And he does tricks that have been used TWO MILLION TIMES in the game OVER AND OVER!" That, my friends, is what got me psyched.
So we buff up, run on in, and try the fight again. It goes pretty well until after like... the second time he does the gravity thing. Then people started dying. (paying attention to AoE orbs and party health at the same time is not easy x.x) Elfy dies. A rogue dies. The other rogue dies. Now it's just me and the prot pally, basically just healing ourselves at this point. My speedpad gets a workout!
But after a while... I lose track, get screwed by a cooldown I used, and realize the pally's dead. So there I am, stuck in midair in tree form, spamming lifeblooms on myself to try and stay alive.
Then I snap.
I rushed straight towards Kael, slapping a rejuvenation on myself before Moonfiring the HELL out of him. I was clicking the mouse so fast, you'd think I was trying to catch flies moving at 400 mph with the mouse. That's what it felt like, at least. Kael stands at 3%. The guys in the group all say "damn... well..." and then "go go go!"
2%.
1%.
I start to get really pissed off at that point, just about to scream "JUST FUCKING DIE!!!" Then, Kael falls. And yells his little schpiel, yadda yadda, whatever. I sit there for a minute... staring at the screen... thinking "what the HELL did I just do..." The guys worriedly ask me if I have battle res! I res the pally! Everyone gets rezzed! Then... an epic cloak for tanks and a pally axe drop. But fuck that, I JUST FINISHED OFF KAEL'THAS!! As resto! In healing gear! Without trinkets! Both on freakin cooldowns!
And if you somehow don't believe it, just look at the screenshots. (when it says failed, that means the global cd wasn't done yet when I clicked it)

WHO'S FUCKING AWESOME AS HELL?!

What I've been up to, as well as a note of dad in his undies.

2008-03-11T20:59:00.005-04:00

I've been drawing stuffs ^^ Sorry, not really WoW stuff, but it's still neato <3 She's a druid that I drew according to what I think real druids might have looked like. (it's hard to find actual reference pictures since fantasy games use them and clog google with them) And even if she doesn't look like they would have, she's still cute <3

Also, a note of something that happened a few weeks back... Dad and I had gone out to the house after he had picked me up to take me back to where we stayed for a while (Hartigans' house), though I hadn't planned on going to the house for a half hour that day right after school.. But anyways. There had been some flooding in the area so some of the roads were closed off. (Bluffton is basically one big flood plain that someone decided would make a good city. WRONG.) So he decided to take some back roads into Amish country. Didn't work. The backroads were flooded. We barely made it through one of the huge flooded areas that he decided to drive through. Eventually, we made our way to another road (and it turned out the usual road WASN'T flooded...) that would get us back on the road to Hartigans' house. That road... didn't look very bad. It was flooded. But dad didn't take into account how the road dipped down before getting to the intersection. I hadn't been on that road enough to remember it did that, though, so I thought "whatever, just get me home."
That's where this comes in... The road dipped down as we drove into the water, so the engine got submerged. Truck died. Dad called a towing service, but that guy was already out trying to help OTHER idiots who had gotten stuck in water like us morons had. So we just waited a while... The guy said it would take him 20 minutes to get to us, even -after- he was done with the guy he was helping at that time. So we waited more... Eventually dad decided "fuck it" and jumped out of the truck. Note that the cab had been filling up slowly with water... about an inch of water every minute, so therefore my feet were on the dash. When he opened the door, a bit more water rushed in, but he closed it quickly. He yelled for me to put it in neutral, so I did, and held the steering wheel straight. Then he pushed the truck. It hit me at that moment that it was pretty goddamn cold out. And that he was wearing shoes he wears every day... not for in water or mud or any of that. And that he was about 57 years old. Now, don't get me wrong, I hate my dad, but I don't wish death on him. He was gonna be fucked up if he stayed out too long. He got the truck halfway out, told me to park it, then got back in the cab. He was in pain, and I do mean PAIN, for about 15 minutes while his legs started to warm back up... It was about 30 degrees outside, with wind. After a while though, he started trying to rev the engine. It took about 10 tries until all the water had drained from the engine for it to start again. It did start though, so we got out of the water and called the towing guy to tell him we didn't need him. We got to the Hartigans' house, and by then my instincts had kicked in. Family member. In a bad situation. Help him. I brought him inside, told him to take his shoes and any wet clothes off (luckily his tighty whities hadn't gotten wet, otherwise, well, boys know what would've happened. that water was COLD), stuck the clothes in the dryer, then found some cookies and stuff for him to eat. I was gonna try to get him some coffee or something like that but the coffee maker was kinda weird and I couldn't find a kettle.
I forgot to tell him, though, that I would get a towel for him to sit on so he could sit in one of the easy chairs. Eventually, the man of the house came home from his FREAKIN AWESOME PAYING ENGINEER JOB (bling bling) to find my father, in his underwear, sitting in his chair, eating cookies. Imagine coming home to that... I explained what was going on though, and the guy understood (his name's Tim, btw... "They call me............Tim.") so it was all okay, but mum got home after a while and was kinda, y'know, freaked out. o_o" I did my best though. -_-"
To give you an idea of what my dad looks like, here's the picture that comes up every time he calls me. That's what he'd do on weekend mornings... sit at the computer in his underwear (and socks, if we were lucky) to check his email... One good question is why the hell is his bathrobe sitting off to the side? It should be on him. >.<
All said and done, though, I think dad did actually think "well fuck, not only am I stuck out in this freezing and rising water, so is my daughter. Shit." Maybe it was paternal instinct, maybe it was him saving his own ass in the process, maybe it was getting brownie points, or maybe it was one of the last ways that he can show how he cares. I don't know. It did happen a while ago, but still. At least I have a good memory of my dad, even if he did get me into that situation in the first place. I guess it doesn't matter what happens in life; it's what you do about it.

The updated Mac situation

2008-03-10T21:38:00.003-04:00

Alright, so... currently I'm on my sister's laptop, since she's awesome and not twitchy about letting me use it, since my computer's been taken in to be looked at.
And it has been looked at. (more details on that later)
And the Mac guy said...

"TOTAL LOSS!!"

He also said it would be easier and simpler and a lot less of a headache to just get a new computer rather than try to update my old one. Or fix it or... whatever you wanna call it. To make it not suck as little as it did.
So.
What will I be looking through?
Here's Apple's site. Look for yourself. Even Jorn admitted the new Macs have some pretty bitchin' hardware. (He also made SURE that I wouldn't want an AirBook... I really didn't want one.) This is what I'll be looking at... Except ignore the keyboard.

Do you really think I'd disgrace myself with THAT puny thing?? Hell no. I'm getting me one of those big actual keyboards. I don't care about the design (much) compared to how comfortable the keys are to use. As for a mouse, I'll be keeping my Logitech mouse from Best Buy that I got for like $24. That thing's comfy as hell to use <3 And of course I'll still have my Nostromo speedpad. This is the model of speedpad I have. <3
But yes... Dad was also bugging me about how the new iPod Touches have way more memory than my measly 8gb. Thanks, dad. Thanks a lot. Nice of you to let me freakin' know.
Anyways... Sis has been home (obviously since i'm on her laptop) so she's been showing me some weird-ass YouTube videos. I won't link them all directly to the site as the video objects like I did with the gorgeous and delicious Illy and Arty. Instead, just simple links. <3
Dramatic reading of a breakup letter
You boys will love this. It even has a sequel!
Mentos punch. The Freshmaker!
NutriGrain. Feeling GREAT.
Human Tetris. Gotta love the Japanese. <3
I'm fucking Matt Damon (from Jimmy Kimmel)
I'm fucking Ben Affleck (another from Jimmy)
Nintendo Sixty-FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR!!! Also look for the metal version of this, as well as the Mortal Kombat version. :3

That's all for now. <3 baibai, and please comment. Can't talk on WoW, y'know :P

iMac, we're goin' down

2008-03-07T09:01:00.003-05:00

Looks like I need a new computer. My mac no longer has sound... That's one thing that confuses me, mainly because it will make the startup noise (when you turn it on, not when you log in like on windows) but then it refuses to make any sound after that. So what am I to do?
Today's been a shitty day already. It's only 9:02, and I already regret just waking up. -.-" Woke up late. Got out of bed at 6:35 (i leave for school at 7 or so), ate too much for breakfast, sat around waiting for my ride to school (she forgot ;.; she didn't mean to tho so it's ok), called dad a few times trying to get him to pick me up (he was asleep >.<), went back upstairs, tried to call myself in sick to school (since i'm sure as HELL not gonna bother mum to take me to school. don't want her to get all stressed), was told that I couldn't (even though I've done so before), called mum to call me in to school (ended up stressing her out anyways), she set a time for me to have the computer shut off by every night since I seemed to be "sick" from staying up too late (10:00 pm. that includes the phone, too. ~.~"), then turned on my computer (which takes a long time now : / not sure why it's slowed down so much more), found out I have no sound at all (thought it was just iTunes, since I tried playing music but the timer stayed stopped at the 0:00 mark), deleted iTunes, reinstalled iTunes, updated the whole damn computer in desperation, still have no sound, it's freakin cold in here, NO MUSIC ,>.<, , and... goddamnit, why the hell did I even wake up...
Teenage angst?
Maybe a bit.
Mostly just stupid shit >.<

Finally, I got the incentive to post some photos of the fire. (doing this at school during photography class... it still has to do with pictures, right? ^^") This is what the house did look like right after the fire had been put out.
First up, the general view of the outside. The roof caught fire, so that's why that's gone.
A bit closer. This is while the firefighters were still putting the fire out. It was pretty damn windy that day so the fire kept going, and to make it worse, the valves on the fire hoses kept freezing up. It's gotta be kind of disheartening to be about to shoot a blast of water at a raging fire... but the water doesn't come out. What a bitch.
This is the breezeway doorway that leads into the house from the garage. It was mostly untouched, other than the ashes that got washed into it. No fire here. The room beyond it, though, is the old kitchen. It's the old kitchen because that used to be where it was before we moved the house and knocked down a few walls to make a bigger, more accessible kitchen for mum. That got blazed.
Some library books mum had just checked out. They got mostly just hosed by the fire hoses, thus the icicles. Not sure why they're yellow, but I'm thinking some of the varnish on the china cabinet they sat on got into the water. Don't know though for sure.
I'm not sure what room this is. I think it might be my bathroom, but I can't really tell. My bathroom had a window in it next to the sink... Whatever room this is, it got blasted too.
Finally, my room. This is the view from the doorway, which basically shows everything. The big heap in the corner is where my wardrobe was, and the whole thing is covered by the attic, which fell down onto it. To the right you would see (if it were a wider picture) where my desk was, which would have looked like just a pile of charred planks. I had a small TV next to my wardrobe, to the right of it. I asked about that when they were going through my room. They found no trace of it, or my GameCube. None of my mattress was left of course, nor my drawings. (I later found a few, but they were only things I had printed out from the computer. Those I can make over again.) The wall is hacked out to the left (north wall) from the firefighters beating it open with axes and sledgehammers. There was another window there, too.
So... That's my house. Below is what it used to look like.

The apartment

2008-02-25T07:09:00.003-05:00

Alright, so I'm moved into the new apartment. With mum. Kind of an odd situation, since I love having the ceiling light on and she HATES having it on (she likes her little table lamp instead that doesn't light anything at all)... That would seem like a minor issue, but she can make anything a huge deal. Seriously. She started crying one time at our old house because I had it on. She also tends to get mad at me for not doing things. And why the toothpaste can't be kept on the bathroom sink, I DON'T KNOW, but... I digress. Point is, I don't have internet yet. We're gonna get it eventually (probably cable) but not yet. *hints at some guys to stop badgering her about it*
Another new thing I'm getting used to. We have neighbors now. Out in the countryside, "neighbors" are people who live across the field from you. The reason I bring up neighbors is because there's a window in the bathroom. And mum loves the sunlight so she always has the blinds open. I always shut them... Those things are gonna break from so much opening and shutting. At least she gave in to getting this apartment in the first place rather than the one next to it. The other one has a living room/bedroom/whateverroom with windows on three sides of it, one right after the other. She liked that a lot at first. And it was closed off from the rest of the apartment by more windows and a couple of windowed French doors. I figured that was pretty stupid, as well as the door to the bedroom being right next to a steep staircase. If you would exit that bedroom and turn right, you'd fall down stairs. Lame.
Anyways, I'm working on making a banner for Tele's blog. Looks pretty cool, imo.
When I get internet back, I'll let you guys know. Mmkay? Mmkay.

Guilty!

2008-02-20T13:41:00.002-05:00

Due to the lack of a scanner, my comics are gonna be done with my camera phone for a while. It takes decent pictures for being just 1.3 MP. And look! Lovely captions!

[Kalren almost gets laid.]
Kal: "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce us HUSBAND and WIFE!!... Okay, guilt's gone. Go ahead."

A disturbing discovery

2008-02-19T09:10:00.003-05:00

Alright, so I've been putting together this blog for Tele's RP journal. Trouble is, GuildPortal, where the journal has been hosted, seems to.... have forgotten some.
If ANYONE has those entries saved ANYWHERE, then PLEASE let me know. I actually am trying to get something done for once so it would be kind of handy if I could get it going from the beginning.
Goddamn. Just when I start to do something.
New comic coming in a bit. It won't be big though... I'll have to put a caption under it ;.; Cell phone pics just ain't the same as a huge 2MB scan of a weird-ass drawing... And my camera phone's only 1.3 MP. ...
Great. I know.
Kalren's 48. Tele's 19. DISCUSS!
This is Kalren if you don't know him, by the way. His wiki page. You'll just have to wait for an awesome-ass picture done by me to see what he looks like. t(^^t)

The WTF Videos of February

2008-02-17T17:12:00.002-05:00

Here are some good WTF?? videos for this month. Spontaneous posting idea. Hey, at least I'm posting SOMETHING.
This month's subject is that delicious purple tattooed curvy-horned SoB we all know and love--ILLIDAN!!

This guy really must be 12.

He's got a cool voice :D

The best of both worlds. <3

And February is also National Arthas Worshipping Month.
Really.
...
I swear it is.

JUST LOOK AT HIM!!!

New changes to ze blog, as well as my huge transfer of rp journals

2008-02-07T16:28:00.000-05:00

Alright, so I decided I didn't like having Tele's rp journal on the guildportal thing. So I'm just gonna make a new blog to post that in. And you can comment like you do on GA for that one too ;D Also thinking of adding a journal for Sintas... votes?

Pics that got saved

2008-01-31T20:36:00.000-05:00

Ok, so they didn't really get saved from the fire. But still. These are some pics that burned that I won't see again other than as these little cell phone shots.
Some of them I'm really fond of... oh and that picture I drew of Xzorn under the spotlight. That one's gone too.

Fightin' fire with fire

2008-01-30T20:27:00.000-05:00

my house burnt down. discuss. (seriously it did. I'll explain more when I'm on a comp better than my iPod x.X)

Fire Sign

2008-01-22T09:00:00.000-05:00

So then. New art project. In drawing class, I had to try hard to draw realistically. But now, I'm in a painting class... Symbolism... Great. Anyways, I have to do a "symbolic self-portrait." What that means is I have to find images that represent me, and I have to be a stuffy tard about it too and be all official with elements of art and that crap. So, what represents me best? Aries. Look up anything about the Aries zodiac sign and it'll basically describe me perfectly.

One. Good description.
Another one. I want that postage stamp. D:

There are more, but you get the idea. Anyways, of course, I'm going to want to draw this thing realistically. But is that wrong if it's supposed to be symbolic? Goddamnit. And why did it have to be the sign associated with the masculine symbol? (for those that don't know: aries' ruling planet is mars. the male symbol is the spear/shield combo kinda O-> thingy except kinda tilted up) Sure, I'm the one all my RL friends lean on, but I'm not a freakin man. -.- If I were, I'd shoot myself in the face. No offense to the boys. But it's a nasty thought.
Oh well. I'm supposed to be looking up reference pictures, which I really should do...

Xzorn writes poems. Betcha didn't know!

2008-01-12T15:37:00.000-05:00

Here's a poem Xzorn sent me. He said I wouldn't know who it's about, so don't bother guessing I suppose. Neat, though.

Your hope was lost,
Devoid of passion,
Heart coated in frost,
Soul burned and ashen,

Tear struck eyes see,
Beloved souls die,
Begging to be free,
Their corpses nigh,

Heart torn,
Soul weary,
Eyes forlorn,
Bleak and dreary,

Such mental anguish,
Too much to bear,
In worldly pain you languish,
Hope agony will your thoughts impair,

Your angst cloaked in blood,
Mind’s torment gone a while,
Will come back in a flood,
Though you are in denial,

Gone is your desire,
Love is so long dead,
Purged by wicked fire,
Or that is so you said,

I come to you with heart,
Which none else ever will receive,
Upon you my emotions impart,
Passion returns but you do not believe,

The world seemed utterly evil,
Dark and barren and bleak,
Wholly cruel and primeval,
Compassion and love so weak,

Your eyes shrouded in blindness,
Brought on by broken past,
Violence so mindless,
Caused a rift – so vast,

Faith is not lost,
My hope is yours,
My life is my cost,
To open closed doors.

WHERE IS THE RUM?!

2008-01-11T15:22:00.000-05:00

Here ya go, Elfy! The promised comic of the Pirates of the Caribbean parody! =D I colored this one with colored pencils and a tiny bit of marker sooooo if it looks different, it is. Hope it turned out well. :D

Oh, and on the front lines at home, dad smacked me on the head after I had been throwing wads of paper at him to stop his snoring. Kinda hurt. Kinda called the cops. Kinda got redirected to the sheriff. Kinda... pissed off at the deputies. "You should just try to make the best of a bad situation" is what they told me to do. Fuck that. Been doing that for five (maybe six, now) years. I'm personally very sick of having to look for the good in life rather than being able to see it without too much trouble. Gives you situations like "Well, dad hit me kinda hard on the head and it stings but... um... at least he didn't punch me?" -.-#

Assembly, Drawing, Whichever Fits.

2007-12-30T14:40:00.000-05:00

This is an assemblage I did for the past two days in (sort of) Photoshop. And no, I didn't draw or make either of the images used. The portrait was done by one person, and the background by another. Add in a few light effects, select areas and change hues a bit, then pile it all together, and you have yourself this picture.
This, I'm not sure if I've posted it before. I was walking down the hallway in school last year on my way to US history when I saw Celia, the Norwegian exchange student. I walked up behind her and flipped her hair, so she pushed me. (not angrily, we're friends ^^) She said what she says in the comic, and I turned around too quickly. My purse was on a long strap, which caused it to fly out in front of me and smack right into a guy named Tyler. (graduated last year) He didn't look hurt at least, just kinda... startled. >.>
This one's one that my friends really liked. I wondered one day why some clubs didn't exist, then thought "...What would an emo club be like??" So I drew it. The hair dye is necessary, as any emo club member should know.

Xmas

2007-12-25T12:32:00.000-05:00

Another Christmas gone by. What a great way to start a paragraph. Now, to look at the importance of finding out what people actually WANT for their holiday gift recieving. Say... I love having an iPod Touch now. It's shiny and glossy and I put one of the Apple Decals on the back of it. Looks fly. But since I'm on dialup, and the wireless network is even HALF as fast as plugging the damn computer into the wall (this page took about a minute and a half to load), it's pointless to have this neat little device with all the special internet features on it, such as the direct link to YouTube, the web browser, even the iTunes store. And currently, I can't even use it yet. Sure, I have iTunes on my computer. Sure, I have an iMac. But the version of iTunes I updated to requires OS 10.4.7, while I have 10.4.7. And what stands between me and my lovely touch screen music player being used? About 133 MB of OS updating.
On a subject similar to useless gifts, mum had put a small antique sewing machine (the kind with the hand crank on the side and made of iron) in an auction so she can get some damn money for once. And good ol' dad thought "Hey wait a minute, she liked that thing, didn't she? Why's she auctioning something she likes?? I'll buy it for her so she can keep it forever and never be unhappy without it!" So that's one of the gifts mum got from dad, along with a calendar he buys her every year. (luckily she does like the calendar, it's pretty)
But I'm not perfect here either... I thought for sure my sister still had a DS, so I bought her the new Zelda game, The Phantom Hourglass, along with the Soul Calibur game for Wii. Turns out... she has no DS. But she does have a Wii! Said Wii is being played right now as I type. She's playing Guitar Hero III, which is pretty cool, since I get to hear songs I don't have on my computer. ("Hit Me With Your Best Shot" gets SO annoying, though. so does "Slow Ride")
Man, though. Can they make the lead singer any uglier??
Love,
Jane

P.S.: hands off my freakin turtles.

Things to consider

2007-11-28T11:32:00.000-05:00

While looking up ideas for my multimedia drawing project that I STILL haven't made progress on, I found a few interesting things. My idea for the picture is a sort of "get the fuck along" message, involving a Pagan and a Christian hugging or shaking hands or something of that sort. Interesting things indeed.
Evangelicals trying to convert Jews... darn, guess we need to meet the quota before we can see Jesus.
Know where your traditions came from! It just might scare you.
Just noting... great picture to put with that :P Yep, that's what I do on a full moon. Dress like a crazy old lady and dance around a vegetable on fire.
Cernunnos compared to Cenarius. Lookie! =D
Seriously not trying to offend anyone with all this, just... trying to make everyone think. World would be a bit better if people did more of that.

New link? Yes.

2007-11-28T11:05:00.000-05:00

Above is a link to a pretty cool site someone in my drawing class showed me while we were supposed to be looking for mixed media drawings to get ideas from. Pretty cool crap.

The Birthday Cake!

2007-11-18T10:43:00.000-05:00

This is Logan Schwartz's birthday cake! He liked my faerie picture so much that he put it on his cake! <3 I feel special ^^

Hmm... Elfy?

2007-10-24T15:25:00.000-04:00

In the real version, of course, the clear white smears aren't in it. That was added to make Pat decide--WILL JOO BAI EET?!

Negative Faerie Lore

2007-10-12T15:23:00.000-04:00

What it would look like on scratchboard... mmm... It'd look good. But damn, I already drew the thing, so I'm not gonna do it AGAIN. x.x That would suck. Real bad. Plus, I hate scratchboard. The film's too hard to control, even with tiny lines, it gets messy.
On another note, since I always say SOMETHING on another note, the guys at the drawing table kind of had trouble hearing me for like one sentence of conversation. Hey, when you're used to people not listening to you, it's easy to not bother speaking up. Plus, they pretty much hate all the music that I like, and since music is all they talk about (they're into the local punk stuff), I usually have no idea what they're talking about. >.< Greeeeeeeat.

Faerie Lore

2007-10-11T15:22:00.000-04:00

This is a drawing I've finally finished for drawing class. (yeah, i know, why take it) It's titled "Faerie Lore" because the guys in drawing class were teasing me about drawing a faerie. ^^" They were saying that I could get a PHD in faeries, and it'd be called "Faerie Lore." This is the result of it, so it looks cool, imo. Those dots were such a bitch to draw though >.< And drawing class was interesting today because Tyler Ashley was hungry. I was wearing my "Are you gonna eat your... *picture of tater tots*" shirt, so he was kinda staring at it. I noticed eventually, since I figured hell, he's prolly staring into space, I mean why would he look at me? So I rolled my eyes and zipped up my sweater, but it got too hot, so I just took it off again. Gotcha, bitch! ^^ My teacher, Ms. van Matre (we call her V), has been getting kinda annoyed though, since I draw so fast and get done with like weeks to spare. She's always gotta figure out something to keep me busy with, which is kind of hard to do. She asked me if I would be interested in doing ANOTHER of the same damn assignment, with another subject of course, on scratchboard. (cardboard with a film of ink on it that you scratch off to have white lines with a black background) So instead of that, to keep busy, I'm drawing a realistic ELFAH! Dewwwwwwwm lawl cya

Reality Check

2007-10-09T06:23:00.000-04:00

Here's something I found in my drawing folder. I haven't posted this... and I haven't posted ANYTHING for a long time... so meh, why not.

A few points:
Gan, you suck. EverQuest? EVERQUEST?? Sheesh...
Elfy, you're still pink.
Jorn, don't be such a douche on WoW.
Elroid, I swear I'll pay you back. ^^
Niaam, you suck. Levy's depressed now.
Ard, good boy, trying to keep the peace on the site.
Dari, you're weird. ^^ Love ya.
Gled, grats on the internet!

What did that all have to do with the comic? Not. One. Thing. <3

Idiot Ex

2007-09-20T12:46:00.000-04:00

Ah, how lovely to hear from people we don't like. There's absolutely nothing quite like it, no? In other words, Mr. Jerry White needs to just stop fuckin' talking to me. That'd be nice, I'd say. Especially since if I want someone to talk to to be a nasty SOB, then trust me, I'll damn well ask for it. What a jerk...

Candy Ass

2007-09-16T11:15:00.000-04:00

Ze colored version of Levy. Lovely! <3

Back online, and the result of nauseating amounts of Dream Theater

2007-09-16T11:00:00.000-04:00

First up, my internet has returned! It turned out that if one of the phone lines was fucked up, the other ones would all die. Lovely. Anyways, so it turned out that it was a problem with my computer's cable. The cord looked just fine; not frayed or anything, but when I unplugged it from the phone jack, the other phones went dead. Replace the cord, and we're back in business. How annoying is that?
Anyways, this pic is one I drew of Xzorn (yes, that's who that is. be happy. i drew you!) while listening to the CD "Systematic Chaos" by Dream Theater. It's got two songs on either end of the track list called "In The Presence of Enemies" parts I and II. Look up the lyrics. I thought they suited Xzorn's rp perfectly. <3
And for girls, here's one thing to do before you die. Talk to Shinro on the phone. Mmmmmmmmmmmm pretteh pretteh voice.

quick update

2007-09-13T18:37:00.000-04:00

quick update: laptop is low on battery, so this will be FAST.

-no internet for at least a week more.
-nearly lost electricity from a late payment.
-no cell phone soon, not sure when.
-dad sux. still.
-dad bought an $80 cement griffin and a $75 post card of bluffton. meanwhile, i'm running low on lunch money constantly.
-mum is gonna find a new lawyer, having gotten no closer to divorce.
-divorce mediation went through, but it turns out there's not enough money to mediate with. the only thing to make us enough money to do so: sell the house. probably never gonna work.
-found out incoming calls on my cell phone aren't free. i also have no home phone, but i found out incoming calls on that -are- free.
-can get free calls after 9 pm on weekdays or anytime on the weekend. ;.;
-wanted to post a new drawing, but couldn't find my flash drive.
-school still sucks.
-mum is doing a bit better, now she's just pissed off rather than all sobby.
-gled might come see me on spring break! \o/ whee! that means you other guys gotta get yer asses in gear >.> kek
-jorn, you'll still get a hug if you send me moneh <3 just gotta come here to get it lol, but i dunno about second base. -.- you're 13 and you watch porn all the time anyways.
-jordan, sorry about the phone situation v.v just gonna have to find other people to yak with i guess : /
-mum has a job at a warehouse (called Peyton's) and will be working either second or third shift. ;.; that means i'm gonna be more on my own after she starts. that place has mandatory overtime, too, which means if it's time for you to go home, but you're not done with a job yet, you have to finish it before you can go.
-i'll also note that i think the thing that should be cut is the satellite TV from our budget. seriously, bill o'reilly, get the FUCK outta my house. your show sucks. <3 and you're a bitch to women.
-i want to get an industrial ear piercing, but mum says that after i get into college and have a job and have a car and am out of the house, then i can make myself "look more and more like the lower class." what a bitch. caylyn's gonna get one on friday, though. ;.;
-it's getting cold. x.x summer's almost gone, so it's cool outside and not as humid, but there are mosquitoes like HELL. guess they were part of a species that doesn't carry any diseases, but DOES reproduce really fast after a long, hard rain. lots of them. -.- i went outside for about 15 minutes and got eaten alive. x.x thank god the anti-itch stuff still works, even though it's a year expired. ^^"
-also note i've paid the mortgage for the house once. after i did that, dad asked me if i could help him pay a lady back for $1700 up in fort wayne. i pretended to need mum's permission (since i'm trying to at least not make him totally hate me, i need my rep with him so i can get him to buy groceries and things like that) and she said no. \o/ i might, however, pay for the internet. a double-edged sword, though, since if i pay for it and get it back, it'll get me back on WoW, but it'll also allow dad to make more outrageous purchases on eBay. (remember that post card i mentioned?)
-the drawing i mentioned that i wanted to post, by the way, is a pic that i thought up while listening to dream theater's "In The Presence of Enemies" parts I and II. it's totally xzorn's ic theme song, in my opinion, so look it up, dude. it gave me the idea of drawing him realistically, for some reason, and thanks to mr. alex ross and his book containing just about every awesome piece of superhero art he's ever done, i did it! and it looks fabulous <3
-note i said this was a quick update: doing this as long as the battery will allow. didn't charge it enough before i came ;.; and i only have an hour anyways, since i'm here on account of mum's computer classes at the library, which has free wireless internet <3
-mum made, literally MADE, dad sign his paycheck (aka Birthright Allowance) over to her by having two sheriff deputies in the dining room make him sign it to her. this week he only got $50 out of it. <3 gotta pay the gas bill and electric bill, dad. no dvd shopping at walmart for you, i'm afraid. good riddance.
-mum also found out from the deputies that she can get a restraining order on him, forcing him out of the house. her lawyer said that wouldn't be possible, but her lawyer is also in fort wayne, in a different township. <3 the deputies said "that's not how it's done in bluffton" and actually made one aspect of this ass-end town kinda agreeable. lovely!
-the school cut off the home ec (Family And Consumer Sciences, or FACS) class at the middle school. the teacher from there came to the high school to replace the teacher of the same stuff who just left the school for another one. apparently, they consider the actual lifeskill classes to be... electives. nice. -.- furthermore, that teacher is TERRIBLE and stupid and i ended up taking her class. why? i had to fill 4th period, the last class of the day, since i guess it's just physically impossible for me to go home early. also, i have no car. i'm getting better at driving, though. <3
-looked at my phone bill for last month, which still isn't paid, btw... and it came to more than $600. wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww just recieving calls from texas uses up minutes... luckily i only used 452/500 text messages that i have for non-verizon texts. <3 still not gonna do that as much as i used to. gled's not gonna be affected by this, though. and i do realize the bill is phenomenal for the situation at hand and the lack of cash, and that's why i've got rules now. if you do call me, off verizon, any time before the time slot i mentioned, i'll only talk a few minutes ;.; sorry, guys... trust me, i'm not happy either...
-battery's almost gone!

Levy

2007-08-28T06:15:00.000-04:00

This is my pally, Levolta Dawnsight. She's adorable. <3 And she loves candy. Though... the lollipops tend to make guys stare at her nervously. o.O Which led to her getting gang-banged, but anyways! This is what she looks like. Go celebrate. ^^"

Here ya go, Andy.

2007-08-26T16:37:00.000-04:00

Just remember. YOU'RE the one who asked me to draw it. <3

Dear god, it's contageous!

2007-08-13T10:29:00.000-04:00

WTF?? I know 300 was a good movie and the guys in it were hotter'n hell, but why are we ALL going for He-man?!

End it

2007-08-08T11:28:00.000-04:00

This has got to stop.

A Disturbing Meeting

2007-08-03T15:04:00.000-04:00

As Sintas neared the dock in Ratchet, she saw the boat coming up quickly. "Good," she thought to herself, "I haven't missed it!" She waited for the boat to stop, ready to move aside for any passengers stepping off. She casually glanced up at a strangely-dressed man, blinking. He appeared to be wearing nothing more than boots, a belt, a loincloth, and a leather harness. A large two-handed sword was strapped to his back, and his hair was the same style as that of Andralas...
Eventually she recognized the man to BE Andralas. She blinked at him, unsure of what to say about his getup.
He stared back at her for a moment.
"Andy...??"

Seriously, dude, you looked like you were on your way to an appointment with an old lady with a fetish for men in tribal dress. -.-"

Lonely Lil' Niaam!

2007-07-31T22:23:00.000-04:00

This is what happens when you leave Niaam alone.

A little something extra

2007-07-02T12:32:00.000-04:00

Yes, it's late to be talking about Tele's (and my) birthday this year, but still. I found this in my Tele comics folder and decided "hell, it's not too big! let's load that fucker up." So lo and behold, this is a picture of Kanta boggling at all the gifts, Tele getting a gift from a total stranger, and Gan ready to pounce that bitch at any false move.

Listed Differences

2007-07-01T16:56:00.000-04:00

Here's this! It's sort of... illustrated forum rambling. Sorta. I dunno. Enjoy, though! And by the way, my prepaid game time is out, so I'll be gone from WoW for a while. And to add to that, dad hasn't paid the cell phone bill. I have no phone or text messaging.

Gotta love dad.

What's this JPEG thingy??

2007-06-04T16:19:00.000-04:00

The first time Zabash saw Sintas. True, his name is Bazash, but nyaa, that's what you guys called him at that time!

Gonna try to load more pictures, so don't yell at me ;.;

"One of her moods again!"

2007-05-15T09:06:00.000-04:00

Yep, I was in one of my bitchy moods again lately, and unfortunately for Gan, he was the only one around to talk to me. (aka get it all dumped on HIM) This time, like many others, I was ticked off about how men have it easier than women. He said that it was pretty even, but I listed off plenty of things, like how guys aren't expected to be gorgeous/strive to be beautiful, behave nicely, follow orders, wear makeup, yadda yadda yadda. He eventually said he agreed that men have it easier.
And now I have a research paper to do. Guess what I'm doing it on?
Societal expectations of ladies.
Of course, I'm finding out many more things to bitch about.
Incarcerated women shackled during labor
Women's rejection of abortion laws. This makes me wonder... Is it mostly men who want abortion to be illegal...? Hopefully Bill O'Reilly has learned his lesson...
Quote: Foeticide and infanticide
UNICEF notes that “Where there is a clear economic or cultural preference for sons, the misuse of [pregnancy diagnostic tools] can facilitate female foeticide.”
This seems to say that many cultures think it's shameful to have daughters. (Link)

As you can see... it's gonna be hard to make this thing only about three pages or so...

That is the biggest fuckin rabbit i have ever seen.

Today

2007-04-30T14:49:00.000-04:00

Today, I felt sick at school. The sculpture class has been going to the elementary school to teach them to make either pinch or coil pots, so I was walking back from there. The sun was hot today, and medicine I had taken was starting to wear off. (if you're a boy, count your blessings, cuz you never have to deal with THIS) So I felt sick and I was getting way too hot and I was also getting tired from walking. I went straight to the nurse's office ("nurse" hah) and demanded to call home to get picked up.

After about an hour and 20 minutes later, mum still hadn't shown up. I called again, and she said she'd take a little longer to get there, since the sheriff's deputy was at the house.

So I laid down for about ten more minutes, wondering what the hell was going on. Mum showed up, I got out of the school, and in the car, she finally told me what had been going on. Sis was in the passenger's seat, too, which I thought was odd. Lately, she's been doing the payroll for the plastics factory that the family owns, a job which grandma would usually do, but she's been losing her memory. And of course, dad's rampant spending of our grocery money and bill money on DVDs and other worthless shit he doesn't need/already has, has prompted us to demand he only gets $100 out of his paycheck, since he doesn't pay bills. He also left us without grocery money for about two weeks. Anyways, Sis has been doing the payroll. She was holding an unwritten paycheck for him (why he still gets a fuckin paycheck is a mystery to me), sitting in her car with the windows half-open when he comes over and reaches in, grabs her arm, and says he'll break it if she doesn't give him his paycheck, even though he "hates talking like this." Hates talking like that my ass. He talks like that all the time, just never physical threats...

So the sheriff's deputy was at the house and told dad to use some anger management techniques. Sis decided to not file charges, though a report was definitely filed of the incident.

This is why I keep a knife by my bed and had a pair of handcuffs at the ready; I knew dad would go this way eventually... Even if I don't want to hurt him, I will if I have to.

Another new link!

2007-04-24T09:15:00.000-04:00

I have no bloodfang... nor am I a male night elf... BUT MAN THAT'S COOL!! :DDDD

Now, a link to my main armory page. Trouble is, half the time I'm in my rp armor, which doesn't represent badassedness very well. Plus............ wtf is with that picture at the top? I have neither black hair nor tan skin nor Bloodfang Shoulders... But neato! Link your armory thingies in the comments! Yay! :D

A new link

2007-04-23T13:31:00.000-04:00

On the side, you will notice a new link that says "Just to make you think of others." I found this site while doing research on poverty for a research paper in English class. Most of what I noticed was the display at the top of the screen. Just about every two seconds... Crazy, eh?

Now that it's updated...

2007-04-17T09:04:00.000-04:00

ZOMG RP JOURNAL BITCHES!!!

And now that it's updated, here's where you can comment about the truly fucked-up rp journal entry! Woo! Yet another reason that I want a site forum. >.<

Lil boys

2007-04-17T06:24:00.000-04:00

Boys boys boys that's just about all I rp with. And here is a buffet line of most of them: on Tele's head is (left to right) Avenn, Vane; on her shoulder, Elfy; in her arms, Xzorn, Jorn, and Nide; on the base of her tail is Gan; on the end of her tail is Gledriran; and clinging to her leg is Ardrick. Adorables!

Attention Whore

2007-04-10T09:05:00.000-04:00

Nick, one of the people at my school, (formerly, now) decided he was just so upset last night that he had to take four pills of whatever it was and call all his friends and tell them he was killing himself. Yeah. Great. However, it's pretty hard to overdose on just four of ANYTHING, not to mention the fact that he wouldn't do that anyways. So why take pills and threaten that? To get attention. And to tell Caylyn, who works hard to keep all her friends safe and relatively happy, that it's all her fault and that she's a bitch and blah blah blah. What an asshole.
So that's what happened last night. I disconnected from the internet at about ten o'clock, so Caylyn called up at just that time. Good timing, since my dad was on the other computer and bitching about how he had to get online to print out some stupid work stuff.
In a situation like this, you yell at your dad, in a commanding tone of voice, to SHUT THE HELL UP BECAUSE SOMEONE'S FRIEND SHOVING PILLS IN HIMSELF IS A BIT MORE IMPORTANT THAN WORK.
Idiot. My sister pointed out, too, that someone's life is more important than work. And what did dad do? Bitch about it. What a lovely character.

So the moral of the story is that Wolfie gives you all permission to dropkick both her dad and her ex.

Old stuff

The above are pictures that I rescued from the depths of the Commissioned forums. Seriously, I've quit that forum. Too much drama. But I won't delete my account there, since it's always good for people to be able to know who it was who posted all that weird stuff way back when. Ugh... yeah, I'm still pissed at Fletch. That's one of the reasons I left. The comics were funny, at least.

I'm bored... -.-

Weird OOC crap

2007-04-08T15:40:00.000-04:00

I was looking through my screenshots folder, and of the 6,904 screenshots, I found this little gem.
I really don't know why I screen everything, but still... there are some pretty weird ones there.

just for you

2007-04-08T11:45:00.000-04:00

question: should jorn have his goggles on? or no?

Proximity

2007-04-07T19:43:00.000-04:00

Amazingly, this one I loaded to the site by myself, without having to ask anyone to do it for me =D Neato!
Aaaaanyways, the guy with the horns (which are just there to express anger, he doesn't REALLY have horns -.-) is Gan, who is enforcing his brotherly authority over the elf trying to make moves on Tele.

I pity those who incur Gan's wrath. Cuz... he reeeeeally knows how to express wrath.

ANNOUNCEMENT

2007-04-07T17:54:00.000-04:00

Alright. Announcement: it's Easter. Go color some chicken eggs.

By the way, I think I'll do features once in a while, on request and with sufficient documentation, about some of the WORST pains-in-ze-asses on Earthen Ring. All in favor? Say yea or nay in the comments and why you say that. So, the idea goes like this: I'll post stuff like drawings and whatever I want to, as usual, but will also help the server out and document "bad, no no!" players. This site MAY be used as reference once any said player has been reported here.

Oh and.

GLORIOUS ABNORMALITY
-Because Blizzard uses macros. Silly GMs! Wulfie stomps bitches, not you!-

Bunny With Fangs agrees!

Badassedness and returning to business as usual

2007-04-05T16:50:00.000-04:00

HAH, business as usual. When have I ever posted regularly anyways?? XD Anyways! Here's somethin' for Kanta to assure him of his badassedness. And to reinforce the idea, Kanta: you are badass.

Banned!

2007-03-30T22:22:00.000-04:00

Okay. This is bad timing. Plans for rp have been held up by the fact that i have been banned from WoW for a while. (how ever long that is. ugh) The person who banned me is undoubtedly the lying, manipulating, whorish, fiendish, stupid, slutty, village-bike-everyone's-had-a-damn-ride ASHERAN. (ooh did i just post her name? ooh i think i did!) The reason for my banning is probably some cock-and-bull story she came up with about me molesting someone or something stupid and highly offensive like that. But whatever it is, this is what it looked like when we were arguing. The black spaces were guild chat, which I decided to omit just in case the guild thought it would be a loss of privacy.

And YES, I DO screenshot everything.

-#- Due to the ceaseless bitching about her rights that she so definitely deserves, I have decided it's best to take the screenshots off the site. I won't email them on request, so don't bother asking. Why do I do this? Oh, I don't wanna take up all the server space. ^_^ Plus the comments are enough to convince someone of what everyone says about Ash. It's very interesting, really. She comes up with all these lies about me and everyone else, but everyone and I have truthful facts about her that are just as bad as her lies. Worse, really, since they're true. ;D

Comments have been disabled. This has gone on long enough.

Love and kisses and crowbars,

Wulfie

ZO MAI GAWD it's a picture!

2007-03-19T15:54:00.000-04:00

ZOMG I POSTED HOLY FUCK IT'S ARMAGEDDON GET IN THE CAR. Anyways! This is a lovely lovely picture of Tele that I drew in English class. (what, you think i actually learn stuff there? bah.) I'm sorry for the lack of posts, guys, I really am... It's just that whenever I wanna post a picture, I have to bother someone on AIM or MSN to load it for me. Yeah, I know, get faster internet, wulfie, gawd! I would if I could, trust me.
