Well I'm discovering I have several documents of literary practice. Well... two. They aren't very long at all, and hardly tell a full story. More each is the opening to a story.

Still... I'm willing t put it to vote. Anybody actually want to see them?

If so, I'll pitch 'em in scraps, and maybe upload a few other documents as well as I make them.

Well things this week have gone admirably! I got one of the coolest things ever *huggles an ordinary looking umbrella* I got a player pin from The World Ends With You.. I have a nice wooden bokken *huggles that too* With the blade on the inside of the curve. Very cool. I had a fun game of Go, got to try onigiri, discovered a love of tuna, and met a wonderfully fantastic furson whom has taken me on as hir pet. I'm bounceybouncey!!

Well.. I have to say it. I went out to buy the 3.5 players handbook for D&D... but was told it is out of print and totally unavailable. So... I shrugged, and bought the 4th ed players handbook.

<rant>
Now... I have actually done very little PnP roleplay... but I LOVE making characters. I ahve played D&D 3 times <as in 3 different campains, not 3 sessions> and have made characters in DOZENS of systems. Character generation is one of my favorite aspects.

For the FIRST TIME EVER.... building a character was grossly unfulfilling and felt increadibly shallow. Unlike most systems I've played, where I get to feel some depth to the character, flesh out aspects that aren't blatently combat only,

All the race choises were all about advantages, without a disadvantage to balance it in sight. I personally built around the wizard class, which now seems to feel strictly about blasting the hell out of the monsters.

Roleplay spells like 'comprehend languages' and 'speak with dead' are now rituals that take 10 or more minutes in game to perform, at which point it is likely the use of the spell is now useless.... Asking the goblins to please stop talking for 10 minutes so you can understand their secret conversation is a little moot. Nooo.. its far easier to bust in, lob a few magic missles, blast them with fire and ask questions after they are dead and likely less inclined to share information. And it only costs about 50 gold to comprehend languages..

Gone are fun spells like 'animate rope' 'unseen servent' and other such non-battle spells. They aren't even utility spells. As far as I can see, anything that isn't 'optimal' is gone, which in my opinion makes 4th edition a powergamers paradise. The edition does come with some improvements and fun options the first lacked, but overall it feels overshadowed.

Alignments are now more limited, meaning you are either 'good' or 'lawful good'. Yes you can argue that chaotic good is just 'good' now, or 'lawful evil' is just evil now... but I see absolutely no point in blurring that.

Anyway... thats my rant, and I'm just a little bitter. Its rare I can't enjoy even making a character... but 4th edition comes through. Now if you'll excuse me.. I have to find someone on e-bay or amazon willing to ship to canada that isn't charging 80+ dollars for the 3.5 rulebook.

I HAVE IT! The elusive WII!

Funny story... I was in square one the other day <Biiiig mall> and me and a friend decided 'lets see if anyone has one'. So I try EB games, and circuit city.. and all the BIG name places... and then my friend remembers this tiny little out of the way shop. And.... *drumroll please..* THEY HAD ONE! Only one and I got it!

My friend code is:

1286 4285 1746 1834

Feel free to register me! Oh I'm so happy. But I only have Wii sports right now. But happy! Take care all!

I do this mainly with the knowledge and security that the only people likely to actually participate are people I know fairly well anyway... but.. I could be wrong.

I'm doing a TEEEENSY twist tho. Baisically... you can ask me 3 questions, just like all the others. BUT... I WON'T promise to answer them. However, for any question I refuse to answer, you get to give me a dare o.o. Not a revolting dare like 'eat a bucket of worms' or something illegal and mortifying like 'go outside naked and flash ten cars' but something reasonable... even if slightly uncomfortable :P.

*Disclaimer* The writer of this journal reserves the right to determine what dares are acceptable and aren't. So *nyeh*.

*Admission* In all fairness though.. there aren't many questions the writer of this journal would be UNWILLING to answer....

Alright.. I may regret it, I may get drama or even harassed for it but I don't care it has to be said. I know its been said already, but I need to get it off my chest.....
*deeeeeep breath*
I find it absolutely ridiculous the number of times I have seen a journal or forum post saying 'FA has really gone down hill for allowing cub art, so I'm taking all my stuff and never coming back.'. I'm paraphrasing, but more often than not its a very accurate summary of the post.

This website, for the LONGEST time has depicted acts of rape. Have people made a fuss? No... Scat? To each their own.. people getting brutally murdered, torn apart limb from limb and EATEN? Eh.. its their interest... but suddenly because someone wants to depict an act of a furry cub in anything but the most innocent of situations... they are the sickest scum on this planet, and FA is considered filthy for 'allowing' it.

With all do respect, I would personally be in a place that allows fictitious, fantasy drawings of cubs with hard-ons... than somewhere that shows people crapping on each other left right and center. Does that mean I want to leave FA because it allows SCAT? Hardly... I just don't LOOK at those damn pictures.

To many people seem to believe that just because the site doesn't cater to their every whim and belief its a bad immoral place that should rot. Frankly I think this is faced more than enough from websites like godhatesfurries.com to have to listen to this from INSIDE the fandom.

Some people even seem to be using 'Jack Thompson' logic... whereby just because someone draws or sees a cub picture, they are going to run out and rape a child... These people have to accept that not everyone has the same morals as they do, not everyone has the same beliefs they do, and not everyone who does something they find immoral is a sicko disgusting freak!

It really irritates me that so many artists, many of which I like, are saying 'FA is going to hell and I'm leaving now'. Some of the best artists I've seen are removing themselves from the community just because they don't agree with what 'that guy over there is drawing'.

Anyway, I just needed to vent, and I did...

RANT ENDS HERE!

Rrrf... I agreed to post this on Echoen's journal, so here it is :P. It has become surprisingly popular tho, and I am curious to see if anything happens with it... that is.. if everyone isn't already to sick of doing this same quiz... I don't expect many results one way or the other :P.

1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3. When and how did we meet?
4. Would you kiss me? Where?
5. Give me a nickname and explain why?
6. Describe me in one word!
7. What was your first impression of me?
8. Do you still think the same?
9. What reminds you of me?
10. If you could give me anything what would it be?
11. How well do you know me?
12. Are you going to put this on your journal and see what i say about you?
13. Would you ever meet up with me?

I am normally abnormally lucky. I admit this. But I think I pissed off some higher power somewhere man...

It starts with me finding a wasps nest trapped between the glass and the holey screen.. by opening the window and exposing the wasps to within three inches of my face. For those of you who don't know me, things with stingers are like a phobia with me. I lose my mind... Thankfully they didn't really move.. and I was able to close the window without to much disturbance of them. Almost right after we take care of that, we find out bees have most likely nested in the panelling of our house...

For the past week I've had throat troubles, leaving me either WAY to deep voiced, or forced to utilise a notepad like I was Wile E. Coyote >.>.

Now that my voice is clearing up, I learn yesterday that the bank has apparently closed my bank account a month ago without telling me... leaving me without my student loan funds I NEED to get to and from college.

I really need to figure out who I pissed off and find out how to make amends >.<.

As against 'doing something cause they're doing it' as I am... I think enough people have done it now that I can get away with it without it being called stolen :P.
