I had to share that with everyone. XD

Anyhoozle, thought I might as well update this thing, since it's been a while. Although the only thing of importance that has happened is that I'm writing on a whole new machine. My old computer died. ;_; *moment of silence* Now I have an HP Pavilion, named FLORA. :D

I was despairing of having lost my drawing ability, but I managed to crank out a half-way decent paper doll exchange for Reiko, so I think those other two times I tried I was just not in the mood. Throwing around possibilities of participating in the MAG or MOB coming up, but I dunno if I'll have the time. I'll probably have to wait until Feb sometime.

Well that's about it for now. ^^ Signin off. XD

Engaged!!! OMG . . .

2004-11-01T13:24:43Z

Well the big news of the day is that my boyfriend of almost 2 years proposed to me last night, at a Halloween Party. Some might say that's kind've morbid, but for our group it's quite fitting. LOL

He was very romantic about the whole thing. After he picked me up from work, we stopped by the house and got a few things. He was dressed as a Medieval Knight and I was just wearing black with a spiderweb cape, nothing fancy. Well, under the guise of putting something in the trunk, Brian slips the ring in his boot (I'm completely unaware of what's going on when this happens, btw). When we arrive at Brandyn's house, where the party is being held and where all of our friends are located, Brian begins gathering things up and going in and out of the house though I don't really pay any attention or notice anything very amiss.

He had mentioned to me earlier that everyone was singing karyoke, so when he emmurged with several of our friends to drag me into the living room under the pretext of Brian singing a song to me, I thought nothing farther into it than him doing his usual hamming it up for a crowd of people. I was reluctant, but allowed them to drag me in. They fired up the karyoke machine and he begins belting out (very off key, but the love was there ^^) Julie Saunders' rendition of "I Need a Hero," from the Shrek 2 Soundtrack. I'm thinking to myself, well this is kind've fitting, I mean he IS dressed up like a Knight.

Well he does the whole song, and then comes over to me while everyone is talking, laughing or commenting. THen all of a sudden he bends down and reaches for his boot and says "Jamie, you always said I was your hero, I'd like to be that forever." Pulls out the box and opens it. "Will you marry me?"

I flipped out. I TOTALLY did not see it coming. LOL Well, needless to say I said yes. ^o^;;;; It's a very happy Lynnie that writes to you now.

And for those who are wondering, the ring is white gold, with square cut sapphires imbedded into the band half way around, with an upsweep that has a large triangular sapphire above that and five smaller diamonds down the side. It's huge. O.o LOL

Alive (I think . . . )

2004-10-16T00:03:11Z

Wow. Just thought I should go ahead and update this thing. O.o The hurricane went through, we survived. The town got banged up pretty good, though. We're just now starting to get back to normalcy. I tell you, it's an alien thing seeing National Guardsman patroling around and having a curfew to abide by like you're under Martial Law. XD

But in lighter news, things have started getting back to their regular schedual again. I still have utterly no time to draw. XP I'm afraid I'm gonna revert back to stone age skills I'm getting so rusty. *sigh* Oh well. First things come first.

Hurricane Madness

2004-09-24T14:07:15Z

Well, Hurricane Jeanne should be on top of my area by Sunday morning, which means no power for a few weeks and the same old song and dance. *sigh* So if I dissapear for a little while again, you all know why. Frances, Ivan, now Jeanne. XD Hopefully she'll stay a Category 2 and not upgrade to a 3 by the time she gets here. Because this time around we don't have enough money or supplies to evacuate. :O I'm most worried about the fact that we haven't finished cleaning up or recovering from Frances, and Ivan has dumped s-loads of water on us these past few days and we're still so waterlogged. I'm worried that every roof that's been de-shingled and loosened with Frances is gonna come flying off, and the entire city of Vero is going to be underwater before it's all said and done with. Let's hope not tho. O.o

Worse than the actual Hurricane is the shopper madness that ensues just before, though. Humongous lines at the gas station, everybody piled in at Wal-Mart to get those last minute supplies. Ugh. Well, wish me luck. Hopefully my roof will stay on, and we won't lose power for more than a few days. XD

PE Goodbyes

2004-09-18T04:37:11Z

I got banned from the Private Exchange today. Or, rather, I should say that I inflicted a self-ban of myself today . . . Somehow I knew I shouldn't have signed up for that Sketchbook Exchange, that with the way my luck runs SOMETHING would happen to prevent me from working on it, and I'd get banned because of it.

And I did. Not only that, I think it ended up ruining whatever kind of friendship I'd developed with Brianne. Definately not what I had set out to do tonight. Not really sure how that one happened, either, other than one of us (or both perhaps) misinterpereted something somewhere and things got nasty (which was never my intention at all). I wasn't asking for special accordance, despite what she may think. I was just asking for her to understand what was going on. Things totally out of my realm of control have happened to me this past month and it doesn't look to be getting any better.

Despite that I understood the rules, and after checking to see if my circumstances had any small realm of possibility for getting in the "Extenuating" category and failing . . . . I decided that I simply had far too much stress and headache going on to allow the PE to become yet another one. As I have said before, I am more sorry than most will know that I've caused several people difficulty, hardship and unfairness (concerning the reciever of what was to be my sketchbook). However when it comes down to me having a place to live and food to eat and me finishing a sketchbook for a voluntary art community, my survival and livelihood take precidence.

I am, however, grateful to see that most of the members so far are sympathetic and understanding. I was afraid I'd start seeing a flood of hatemail for being the unfortunate soul to unwillingly through the first wrench into Brianne's master plan concerning this Sketchbook Project. The best I can wish for is that things get sorted out smoothly, and that everyone carries on well now that I'm gone.

Sizzlin Icons

2004-08-10T22:09:35Z

Heheh, as you can see, I've finally changed my ohsoyummie Hector icon. I was meaning to make one from King Arthur ever since I saw the movie, but I never got around to it. Then I saw Brianne's new droolicious Lancelot, and I was inspired. XD Gawd I loved Clive's voice in this movie. *drooooooool* ^^

In other news, things have settled down for the most part, so far. Jean just came back home from the mental hospital, and both Shawn and Brian bailed out of the house before she got back, so I'm still not really sure how things're gonna go. Hopefully they'll just avoid each other or something so I don't have to listen to the fighting. ;_;

A little Scared . . . .

2004-08-04T21:49:21Z

I'm kind've in a state of shock and "I'm not sure what to do now" at the moment. O.o A lot's happened in the past 24 hours and I'm not sure how to assimilate it all.

Well first the whole family (minus me and Brian) got into a big knockdown dragout fight. This happens usually once every week or so but it got REALLY bad last night. Jean (the mom) has Multiple Sclirosis (msp) and a multitude of other diseases including but not limited to obsessive compulsive disorder, bi-polar and other mental unsteadiness. It's not uncommon for her to sleep most of the day away, and sometimes she'll wake up fine and in others she'll wake up and be completely inconsolable. She'll be cranky, irritable and will go out of her way to find something to get angry about. Well this happened last night.

She went off the deep end so she started yelling and screaming at Shawn (the little brother) for no reason really. They don't have a very good history together at all. He's got mental problems of his own, one of those supposed ADD kids that was so heavily medicated when he was younger I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't knock a few things loose. He was once arrested and put in DC for several months for pulling a butcher knife and threatening to kill her when he was only about thirteen years old.

Well, anyhow, back to last night. They started yelling and screaming at each other per usual. Then Shawn said some things he shouldn't have and it sent Pat (the dad) into a rage. HE started yelling and screaming at both of them and then ended up hitting Shawn several times. Jean took off into the back room and Shawn threw his keys at his dad and basically said that he hated them both and hoped they died. He left off walking and I haven't seen him since (though he did come back and leave a note for Brian and me telling us where he was and what number we could reach him at.

That was last night. Well, today I come home from work and Jean (the mom) comes in and tells me that she's having herself admitted to the mental hospital because apparently while we were all gone she tried to kill herself by taking all of her pills (and she has a LOT). Midsentence however she just collapsed right here in front of me (the pills finally hit her I think) and now the ambulance is on it's way.

. . . . I kinda don't know what to do anymore. To think I came here to get away from my own family and their emotional wreck of a life.

Updatessssss

2004-07-27T20:10:52Z

Well I haven't updated this thing in a while and I thought I probably should. Lets discuss what's going on in Lynnie World. ^o^

Well, work has been a pain these past few days, but it's not because of hours or anything. A fellow co-worker REALLY doesn't want to be in our department. And on Saturday she came to work in a really bad mood. All this woman ever does is complain, it's really annoying. She did just enough to call herself working, but nothing really useful. I was the one doing most of the zoning and picking up. Well, she decided to call several managers over by the end of the night and started telling them this sob story about how she's always having to work by herself and that I don't do anything to help, and blah blah blah. o_O Talk about a load of bullshit. She waited until I'd zoned everything, then called them over and said that she had done it all and I did nothing.

Oooooo, I got SOO pissed off. But luckily everybody there in the dept and even the other store managers know about her and know that I do more than my part and it's her who's the slacker. So more than likely the only thing she's done is draw unwanted mangerial attention to herself, which is gonna get her fired because she's constantly running around the store and going outside for cigarette breaks when she's not supposed to. Heheheh. So hopefully she'll get out of there and we can get someone else hired in there that's competent.

That's the work front. On the art front, I've dropped out of the Formalwear and Deity exchanges at PE so I could sign up for the Sketchbook Exchange. That one just sounds too cool, I couln't pass it up. I tried, but I just couldn't. XD I'll only be signing up for regular rounds until I'm finished with it, and then the occasional exchange that I just can't pass up (like the adult exchange, XD ).

My contest is winding down to a close. I'm pretty sure who the winners will be, and I'm quite pleased with the results. I'm just hoping I don't have any whiners, like what Brianne gets. XD That'll tick me off. But anyhow, that'll be 3 other pics I'll have to get done. I'm also involved with an art trade with Chael, and a possible pencil commission from a friend. And for PE, I still have my Design-An-Outfit exchange to get done, my Round 20 pic and weeklies for Boum and Yinn. That's everything in the pending to do list. XD

Gyah, I knew they shouldn't have turned my ATM bank card into a debit. XP I ended up ordering a set of 144 Prismacolor Markers for 277 and some change (after a discount I had, they were closer to 300 before that). Grand total, including S&H and Express 2-day shipping (because I don't have the patience to wait 2 weeks again), it was 347 and some change. They should be here tomorrow or the next day. *still bouncing off the walls with excitement). I'm getting some coloring tips from Bettina and I really aspire to reach her level of skill one day. ^o^ So here's hoping!

And I think that's just about it. XD

Yup yup

2004-06-30T14:21:03Z

98% of teenagers do or have tried pot. If you're one of the 2% that hasn't, put this in your journal. I've also never smoked, and I've never drank alcohol either (because both of my parents were alcoholics once upon a time and the addicted gene is too prominant in my family for me to take the risks. And I've just never had the desire to. *shrug* )

Contest is almost done!! I've gotten so many lovely entries. *snuggles them all* Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter! ^^

Work Sucks. XD

2004-06-24T00:57:47Z

I forgot just how much going to work everyday sucked. XP I wanted a small parttime deal, but because we're so short, I'm pulling 37 hour work weeks. Which doesn't leave much time at all for art or writing. XP Blah

In other news, Brian just bought the Van Helsing soundtrack! Yay! *puts it in and listens on repeat*

Stuff

2004-06-15T14:28:48Z

This amused me too much, *stolen from Enerjak*

In other news, the job is going good. ^^ Even though I'm pulling eight and nine hour shifts right now (something I'm not used to), I keep so busy that I hardly notice it. Plus I get two fifteen minute breaks and one hour lunch (lunch I have to clock out for), so that helps. ^^ I *heart* the Chronicles of Riddick. I loved Pitch Black to death, and I *HEART* CoR. So much in fact that I am writing a fanfic. I couldn't help it. Riddick has to be one of my favorite movie characters of all time. I must pay him homage. XD If you're interested, you can find the story, titled "Chronicles of Riddick : A Furyan Legacy" here : http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1911286 Just the prologue right now, but I plan to work on it a little more tonight or tomorrow (my day off). For right now, it's off to work until 8. ^^ Byby for now!

Updates on the Lynnie Front

2004-06-06T20:15:37Z

Well, this is how things've been going. Earlier in the week I began to have depression attacks. XD Haven't had those in a LONG time. It was mainly due to stressing about this job I want to get. But LO! It looks to be all but in the bag now. I will officially become a Shoe Sales Associate at Wal-Mart (don't laugh. XP), starting out at 6.50 an hour with garaunteed raises later on. A whole dollar more than I was making at Movie Gallery after working there for a year and three months. XP I hate that place. Grr. Anyhow. The job is relatively easy and right up my ally. Pretty much it's all about "zoning" the shoe section . . . aka, straightening and organizing everything. ^^ No handling cash, no breaking down vidoes, no shrink wrapping, no asking EVERY SINGLE PERSON I SEE if they needed help finding a movie in a store FILLED with them. *deep breath*

We "zone" the aisles, ask customers if they need help or help them if they ask for it, make sure things are in the right spot, in the right box and have the right price tags on them, dust every once in a while and that's that. ^^ Occaisionally I may have to get up on a ladder . . . but I think I can survive that relatively easily as long as it's a steady ladder. XD And most of the job, I'm told, is dealing with the beachwear/slipper aisle. A job that is never done. Heh.

Well then, on other notes, my contest is winding down to an imminent close. The 30th of June will be the last day. I've gotten some nice submissions, though I hope for a little more. ;_; Please, if you have the time, *lip-quiver* You get undying Lynnie affection and a possible Lynnie picture! :D :D :D

Finished reading Harry Potter, book 4. XD I had started reading it a few years ago and never got around to finishing it. My recent depression streak though was a perfect time to pick it up and finish it. And MAN! O.o What a doozy. I've already started Book 5, can't wait to see how that one turns out. XD

*wave* Have a nice day!

Lotsa Stuff

2004-06-01T01:04:55Z

Okies . . . lots of stuff to go over today. XD Yesterday *Sunday* I went over to my friend Tolliver's house to play a D&D campaign he's running. He and his girlfriend recently moved to Tampa Florida to attend the new Art Institute there, which I hear good things about. His mom is an educator, and she's always looked after all of us on that level. She's been on my case for some time to get up and do something with my talent and whatnot. Well she took me aside and started telling me all this stuff for AIoT . . . and all of it sounds REALLY appealing. She says she helped Danielle (Tolliver's girlfriend)get all this financial aid to where she only has to pay $120 a month for college expenses, on top of rent and food and whatnot. She says she'd be willing to help me with the same thing.

I can't tell you how much I want to go. I don't even think I can put it into words. It's like a dream I never thought I'd be able to do. But something that Mrs. Tolliver said made me realize (and something I've been suspecting myself here recently) is that if I want it I'm gonna have to get up and take it. And if I work hard enough, anything will be possible. ^o^ (I hope! LOL ) One MAJOR plus is that apprarently there isn't the usual anime stigma there. A lot of students are into that (they even have a club for it), so there won't be any looking down upon me by students or teachers, which was one of my main fears. I haven't had any formal discussions yet, but I'm leaning towards the "Media Arts and Animation" BFA degree that they offer. Ideally I'd like to just focus on illustration, since that's what I'm good at and what I'd like to do but they don't offer just straight illustration. After some deliberation I decided I'd rather go into the Animation field rather than the Game Design or the Graphics Layout ones. More my style. Hopefully I won't be overwhelmed with all the animation and 3D Modeling stuff. O.o I've never done anything like that before . . .

Well, anyhow . . . I talked it over with Brian and (lucky me) he's totally willing to move up there with me and continue his college education at their Community College up there (I think it's called Hillsborough or something like that) supposedly just down the road from AIoT. *hugs him a lot* It's going to mean a LOT of changes for us, first and foremost being living on our own (something neither of us have ever done before. O.o ) But he's willing to do it for me. *luffs* My tentative plan so far is this.

I'm applying for a job tomorrow and hopefully I'll get it. XP I think I have a pretty good chance, since my availability is exactly what they're looking for. If I do get the job, I plan on holding it (or something else) for at least a year, probably longer . . . and saving almost all of the money I make. Brian will do the same, and within a year's time between the two of us we'll have close to $12,000 saved up, which will be a nice cushion to take up with us to fall back on in emergencies and whatnot. Once we save up enough, and if everything goes to plan, we'll move to Tampa and get our own place (probably a small apartment). I think it'd probably be best to go up a month or two in advance to get settled and get steady jobs going and stuff before school starts. Hopefully he'll be able to transfer to the AMC in Tampa. And then we'll both apply for the college stuff and do everything that that entails.

It's gonna mean a lot of sacrafices, both now and on down the road. Now because me getting this job means I'm going to have to cancel the Saturday Gatherings, which have been going on at my grandparents' place since senior highschool. It's pretty much the only link most of my friends have together anymore, so that's going to mean losing touch with a lot of them. Also, there are several D&D campaigns that I'll no longer be able to attend, one of which I was running myself, which I feel pretty bad about. XD When you sign up for a game you're making a committment, and I hate breaking committments.

And then . . . if and when we DO move to Tampa . . . we'll be moving away from any friends and family we have here. ;_; I'll still have the internet and stuff, but that'll be a REALLY big step for me, because I am SOO family oriented, it's not even funny. But hopefully we'll be able to come back down here and visit from time to time. And they'll be free to come visit me whenever! :D It's a lot of adjusting and giving up things on both sides, but I'm at a point in time in my life where I feel like I should be DOING something with myself, working toward something.

I mean . . . I can't tell you enough how I DO NOT want to end up in the lifestyle of my parents, working like dogs in dead-end jobs from paycheck to paycheck just to stay afloat. I don't want to have stress piled on so thick I have nervous breakdowns. I don't want to worry from this week to the next whether or not the rent is going to get paid, or the electric bill, or whether or not I can afford to eat. XP I want a better life for myself, for Brian, and (god willing) any children we may end up having. ^^;; Which is a dear (but distant) wish I have for my future. I definately want to make sure I'm stable and secure with my life before I think about bringing any other life into this world. *sigh* Ok, I've vented for now. *crosses fingers* Let's hope things work out for me . . . ;_;

:D

The Lynnie is better now. She has removed all the stones out of her calm blue oceans and is ready to move on. XD

Sheesh, that draft crap is really really scary. XP I know I'd never make it in, in a million years, because I'm so bad outta shape it's not even funny. But my boyfriend is prime candidate. ;_; If he got sent to war I'd lose it. *crosses fingers* Let's hope this will get thrown out.

Shrek 2 was a riot, I recommend if you saw and liked the first one. Puss In Boots made it, in my opinion. ^o^;;

Troy is Good.

2004-05-14T20:20:23Z

Troy was awesome, I highly recommend. The only character they left out was Cassandra (and that's ok, cause she was really annoying in the Illiad). Paris and Hector took over her lines. Other than that everything was pretty well accurate to Homer's Illiad. OMG!! He wasn't too hot in Hulk, but in this movie I WANT ERIC BANA!!!! He was sooooooo yummy as Prince Hector! The arm bands! The scruffy beard! The dark curly hair with the gold clips! The RIPPED chest! Sweet bejeebus. Hector, to me, also had the most touching story. He wanted no part of bringing Helen home (almost took her back to Sparta in fact) but for love of and to protect his younger brother he went to war and ultimately died. What makes it worse is that he's like the ONLY faithful one in the movie, having a wife he obviously loved and an infant son. ;_; His performance was so moving, the best in the whole film, imo. Of course nods must be given to Brad Pitt as Achillis, as well. He was the one most often found naked in this movie, and all I can say is that Aniston is one LUCKY woman. Heh. And HOLY CRIPES!! Sean Bean played Odysseus, and he ACTUALLY LIVES THROUGH THE MOVIE! Go figure! This is like, his first one since LOTR. He bit it as Boromir, he took the shaft as the minor char in Equilibrium. But he actually lives to the end in this one, off to sail for 20 years before finally getting home to Ithica. *dies laughing* Another cool character was Ajax. I really like how they didn't make either side the "evil" side. Each one had valid reasons for doing what they did. The only truely BAD character was Agamemnon. I got a little pissed at Paris's and Helen's flighty stupidity for STARTING the whole thing, but they did it for love, so meh.

Ack!

2004-05-13T19:21:13Z

I've got allergies all of a sudden, I guess, cause I'm not sick in any way but all of a sudden yesterday I've got particles of phlegm in my lungs. XD Not hunks, so that when I cough because of the annoying tickle they lodge loose and come up and I'm done with it, oh no. PARTICLES. So that no matter how much I cough and hack, they don't leave me. ;_; My throat hurts now, from so much coughing. On top of that I must complain about the cramps that I am having again (curse being female, curse it! Damn you, reproductive system! *shakes fist* )

I want another Open Season at PE! ;_; I wanna run the Memory Exchange (since the Adult and the Formalwear got voted in WOOOOO!!! I'll wait a bit for the All-Nude, since that's kinda the same thing, just without the naughty acts. XD ) or maybe the Lingerie idea I had, or Dragoness's underwear one. I'm really for the Memory one though, that's such a neat idea. *MUST RUN SOMETHING* I feel so deprived. I have NO PE projects due. o_O This is like . . . the first time in three months that I don't have something due soon. Lol Don't have another project starting until the 25th (Round 18). *goes stir crazy* Oh well, I guess I'll just humor myself with more Tsiagonne stuff and my new Hunterz idea. :D

Well, I'm off to go see VanHelsing for the third time (LOL), and THEN!! TROY PREVIEW!!!! *dance dance dance* I love dating someone who works at the theater. Mwuah!

Confused and a little Cheezed Off

2004-05-10T06:21:55Z

Ok . . . I'm a little confused about this one, maybe someone else out there can explain it for me. I got Alex for this round at PE, and he asked for one of (or both) his cat twins Mikah and Crista be drawn. I used reference for the poses, and they came out so well that I decided to keep them nude. Nothing too bad, only the breasts are visable (nifty posing and/or kitty tails cover up anything else. However it IS somewhat gratuitous in that there's nothing profoundly artistic about their nudity . . . they just are. I've been trying to get in touch with Alex for the past two weeks on whether or not this would be ok, because it's PE policy to recieve the creator's permission first to show their characters nude.

Finally today he responds with this "Drawing the twins nude?...Well, I supose it would be ok... I'm a bit worried that it'll turn out just a pointless nude pic, but at the same time I would like to be proven otherwise... In short: Yes, you can draw tem nude.

. . . How can some one draw something like this for themselves : http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/6851909/ which is nothing but gratuitous ass and breasts shot (don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a little bit every now and then, I'm guilty of the same), and then turn around and tell me they don't want "pointless nudity" drawn for them in a PE round? WTF? How is that possible? . . . I guess it might just be the characters, I dunno, maybe they've got some special spot in his heart and he doesn't wanna see 'em naked. But this REALLY screws me over. I've already inked my picture because I wasn't sure if and when he was ever gonna get back to me on whether or not nudity would be ok. I mean . . . it's not a porno shot or anything, but the both of them ARE naked "pointlessly." *pulls hair out" Now wtf am I supposed to do? . . . I guess I could just ink over underwear or bathing suits onto them or something and fix it in Photoshop . . . but the principle of it still irks me. *sigh* I dunno I'm I being fussy or do I have a right to be a little irked here?

On an unrelated note, VanHellsing was awesome. I loved every minute of it. ^^ I highly recommend to those who love a good action movie. :D

More Stuffles

2004-05-07T00:25:35Z

*sigh* I really think certain policies need to be revisited at PE. Either in another mass email or in sticky topics somewhere on the board . . . not that I think it'll do a helluva lot of good, but it would make me feel better. XP Things like Late Policy (although I'm not sure how much farther we CAN shove that concept down their throats), posting etiquette (like not carrying on an argument just because), and maybe reminding certain people that just because someone's art doesn't tickle your personal fancy doesn't mean they're inelligable for PE. *grr* And even then, you don't HAVE to post and let everybody know that you "don't like his style of art." Who gives a flyin' fuck! *stomps foot* You don't like it? THEN DON'T VOTE! I don't have a problem with you not liking their stuff! Just hit the back button and go tootle on your merry way! Commenting negatively in the suggestion forum, I think, should only be reserved for instances when you KNOW the person has major strikes against them (has a bad attitude, has stolen art before, etc),or if you've had personal dealings with them and you have reasonable suspicion that they'd cause problems. I don't think it should be allowed for people to start posting away at how they don't like that person's style, so they vote no. XP So irking to me.

And on a completely unrelated and far less serious note . . . GYAH! There aren't enough people who want the naked nawtiness at PE! So many of them are voting for ishy squishy topics like the Art Noveau or the Animal Companions. Don't be afraid of the boobies and the tally-whackers, my friends. *stomps foot* BRING ON THE PORN, I SAY!! LMAO If the Adult Exchange doesn't get voted in this time, I am SOO running it the next Open Season (which I hope is soon). And if the Adult gets voted in and not the All Nude, then I'll run that one. And if BOTH of them get voted in *happy dance* I'll run something else, like the Memories (such a cool concept, I'm really pushing for that one too) or the Formal Exchange.

Got another entry to my contest today, from Kalle. I appreciate it, it was actually quite a clever idea. I dunno, he's just not started off on such a good run with myself OR Brianne. *rolls eyes* When I posted up my Furbid practice, "Death by Stripes" which depicted a Zebra Anthromorph girl nude, his comment was "And that sort of thing sells?" with a little smiley face to somewhat soften the assholeness of it. . . . . . I almost replied, "It does on planet earth, why don't you come down and join us sometime. XP" *gusty sigh* Oh well. They can't all be Briannes, Saydas, D-Girls, Dixeys, Jaymes, Bettinas, Sarahs, Kendres, Jennas, Emelies, Mollys, Angelas, Apiss and everyone else that has me on their LJ watch list (*cries* I can't remember them all! *snuffle*).

Well . . . it's 8:30 so I'd best get my butt offline and get dressed. ^^ I'm goin to see the preview of Van Hellsing tonight! *smothers Hugh Jackman* Tata for now!

PS. Don't worry Molly, that Job thing said I was supposed to be a Super Model. *chokes to death laughing* Super Model for "Just My Size" maybe. XP

Stuffles!!

Heheh, I knew Brian'd be in there somewhere. And my popular "O.o" face. And "Lol" . . . there's a lot of "I's" too . . .

Other than that, though, things are goin ok. Got my CD finally! I've been listening to it a lot. Some of the songs are corny, but there are some good ones too, like "Rainy Day Man," "Power of Love" and "My Only Love." ^^ I finished my Change Clothes Exchange, and two of my BESM baddies. :D *feels accomplished*

CD Arrival!

2004-04-27T19:39:59Z

Well the CD got delivered today! However, since my friend was the one to order it, it went to HER house . . . and I can't get over there until later tonight! URG! So I am forced to sit and wait even longer! *cries* The book still hasn't been shipped yet, but that's not surprising. Gyah, I can't order things online very often, I'd end up having a hernia or an anurism. I just don't have the patience for it. XD

In other news, I've had utterly zero desire to draw so far this week. Started on my clothes change exchange but it was going nowhere, so I set it down before I managed to finish a piece of crapola. Don't want to give someone a piece of crap for an exchange, it goes against my morals. So I'll just wait and see what happens tomorrow. ^^ Blast it! Can't draw p0rn for Brianne's contest! And I had the greatest idea for Natalie and Kai . . . *sigh* Oh well. Maybe I can still get away with some sensual nudity? O.o Heheheh We'll see. XP XP XP

I got way more players for my Sailor Moon game than I expected . . . even more than I really wanted. Now there's all this PRESSURE!! O.o And plus the storyline work. Ugh. Well, I definately don't think we'll be able to play this Saturday, cause I have way too much stuff to get done this week and no time to finish my prestige classes. XD

I WANT MY CD!!! ;_;

What kind of God are you?
Name
DOB
Favourite Color
You earthly time was spent	Supplanting kingdoms, punishing tyrants and levelling the empires of the wicked with the breath of your nostrils
Your throne is	A towering onyx chair, reflecting perpetual moonlight, adorned with the skulls of the vanquished
You wear	Nothing, because you don't have a body, you insubstantial beast, you
Your Godly superpower is	Bolts of crackling lightning from your fingertips and total invincibility
