Whips and Chains

This is bullshit. Why didn't they just call me and ask me to pay for repairs, instead of making me wait three weeks for nothing? Here I thought for once Microsoft wasn't going to let me down. Boy was I wrong.



Thanks for topping off an already horrible day, Microsoft.

I made a short video of my praying mantis with my mom's camera. :D I tried taking some pictures too, but it didn't want to cooperate...either they were blurry or too dark/bright. I'll try again tomorrow or something.

Anyway, take a look. Isn't she a pretty thing? I've named her Delphi...the name was Seph's idea. :3

So I wanted to participate in Tigermond's Art Jam thing on DA. Struggling a bit to get it done, as I have other issues to worry about, but whatever. I decided to draw a faun, since I really like fauns. :D


Here's a glimpse of it...fullview is hidden behind an LJ-cut, due to it containing nudity and being somewhat large.

( Fullview... )

In other news, I caught a large praying mantis yesterday. I brought her in and put her in our plant enclosure because it was so cold and windy outside, I figured she would die otherwise. I'm assuming she's female due to her size. Seems my mom is going to let me keep her. :3 Photos of her coming soon, hopefully.

Whoa, I came to update and decided to delete some userpics first, and I found this userpic of a random blue dragon. Wtf? It had replaced my "This is low budget artwork" one. Really bizarre. O_o So I re-uploaded the low budget art one...

And now I can't remember what I was going to write here in the first place. Guess I'll go lie down for a bit or something. Wish my laptop would STOP MAKING WEIRD NOISES. Sounds like the fan is in overdrive or something, which makes no sense at all since all I'm running is MSN, Firefox (9 tabs), and WMP, and I have a laptop cooling plate thinger. So wtf, laptop? SHUT UP, SRSLY. 8|

... Holy shit. Right after I typed that, my laptop STOPPED DOING IT. Freaky. o.o

I think a real update will have to come later. Sometime soon I plan on doing an art update...really! I just need to get around to scanning my shit. The next non-art update I will discuss something rather important though, so I hope everyone reads it. D:

I think I already did this meme before but I'm doing it again because I saw it on FA today and music is awesome. :P

1. Open your music library.
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
7. ???
8. PROFIT!

This website is pretty hilarious. I see a lot of situations I'm familiar with, too, since my only job experience thus far has been in retail. It's taking up too much of my free time, though...haha.

( Here are some of my favourite ones... )

On another note, I was finally able to get Castle Crashers early this morning. And it's AWESOME. Everyone should get it. If you have an Xbox 360, that is. My character is level 12 or something now. I've also been playing Pokemon Diamond a lot...got the second generation starters in a trade and found my GBA Pokemon games (which are needed to capture some types of Pokemon on Diamond/Pearl) so I got into playing it again...I have all the Eevee evolutions now except for Espeon. Need to raise my last Eevee's happiness a little more.

Oh, and here's this: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40832.html :D The SNES/Sega Genesis Lion King game was FUCKING AWESOME. Probably my favourite Genesis game of all time. I really liked Shining Force too, but the GBA remake of it was better than the Genesis version...they developed the characters and story a bit more and the gameplay was smoother, so, yeah, GBA version was definitely better. :0

My next post should have some arts in it. Huzzah!

Decided to start using my LiveJournal since I keep seeing more and more people heading over here. Dunno how much I'll update, but I will, at some point, be posting arts here that I won't be putting on DA due to...DA being crap and full of idiots with sticky fingers. Hah. Of course, those arts will be in friends-only entries, so if you're a friend and wanna see my crappy original characters and creatures, you'll have to add me to you friends list and I'll add you back. Make sure to tell me who you are if your LJ name isn't the same as your DA name, though, or I will not add you. Sorry, but it's a privilege I'm only granting to my friends, not to random lurkers who never leave any feedback and/or I don't trust not to abuse the privilege.
