Birthday today. Jeez, time flies by fast.. It's insane how fast days have been going by. Some are starting to blend together.

All the same, I hope everyone keeps well and safe. See you around.

Mmm, that time of year again. Birthday's coming around again on the 25th. Not much has changed since last year, just one year older! Will have to see where I'll be by the time I'm in this position again.

Icy's Journal

Thinking is a wonderful thing. So much to ponder on and wonder about..

I've been trying to get back into writing recently after finding a bunch of old stories I never got far on on an old USB. Just a bit of tweaking here and there and they might turn out well. Might even post one or two if I find the motivation! If anyone has any suggestions or whatnot they might be helpful. I still don't see myself doing requests or trades, let alone commissions anytime soon, though that depends on what happens.

Feel free to say what you've been up to below, as well!

..was all that was written on the page. There seemed to be some space left below.. Perhaps for something more to be written? A pen rested beside the page.. Do you pick it up?

Huzzah, birthday today, the 25th! Another year older.

Bit over a week and it's here. Fun, fun.

Just a few songs I've been listening to lately. Enjoy;

Yep, today it is. 25th of September.~

A good day it is, and let there be free cake to all!~

Be sure to head over and say hi to  ineverexist, it's their birthday too! c:

- Icy -

It's surprising how fast it's come around. One minute it's the start of spring, suddenly it's almost the end of September.
Regardless, it's always nice to have another birthday. Don't usually celebrate it all that much, but thought I might as well let everyone know.
I've been busy lately, but if anyone ever wants to talk, feel free to drop me a note sometime and we can talk.

That's all for now, see you 'round.

And birthday's on 25th, time differences are blargh.

Hello there, all! Welcome back to my fun journal section of fun times!

Topic of conversation today is something that's been sitting on my mind for a while - I'm uncertain about my fursona's name, and am considering changing it. However, even through months of brainstorming, I still haven't found anything that I deem to be appropriate, nor that I like.

So, I therefore pass this question on to you, readers:

---

What do you think should be the new name for my fursona?

---

It doesn't need to be too creative though I would like it to be at least a little different, and fitting if appropriate. If you need any details about him, feel free to note me or comment on the journal.

Furthermore, any changes you think would be interesting or I should consider to his main body shape you are welcome to post about as well! I'm open to thoughts.

Pictures of him can be found here:

I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in helping me out.

Thank you in advance!

UPDATE: So far two of the main names I am considering are Saishin and Szkylar.

Yay, finally! A convention in Australia!
If anyone else is going, maybe we can meet up sometime!

If anyone knows anyone in Australia, particularly in Melbourne, who might be going, please let me know! I'd love to meet more people from here!

Even though the convention's most of a month away, it's still exciting that it's coming up! Woo!

EVTS is still live, see my previous journals regarding it for details and my Friend Code! Yes, slots are always open!

Hi there!

You're probably wondering what an EVTS is - well, it's a simple enough idea, and I'm probably not the first to try, but I thought I might as well should since it's something I can do for the community, and lets face it, I don't do much. n..n;

Anyway! The acronym EVTS stands for Effort Value Training Service. If any of you out there play Pokemon, you'll know that EVing Pokemon used to be a tiring and very time-consuming experience, and used to leave us not wanting to do many. However, with the release of the most recent games (X and Y), this has become much easier. Still, though, people can't be bothered doing it - and I understand, it still takes some time - but it breaks my heart to see so many Pokemon not being as strong as they could be.

So! What I'm proposing is that since I enjoy EV training Pokemon, and so many don't, if you have any Pokemon you'd like EV trained, just send them over to me and I'll do it for you! I'm also able to raise Pokémon for you, but I would rather this be left up to the respective Trainer, as I see it as a bonding experience with your Pokémon. However, if you want me to, I will do that for you, as well.

If you want one, either comment here or send me a note regarding it - I can do as many as you need! All I ask in payment is a half-decent Pokemon in return (even Pokemon with reasonable natures is fine) so that I can make some myself. Even Adamant or Lonely Weedles are fine! Poison Sting OP!

That's all for now, so just comment here or send me a note if you want one; my friend code is listed below.

See you!

_Icy.

Friend code: 0216 - 1326 - 3111, going by the name of Leaf.

[UPDATE] The EVTS is now live, post below or in a note if you want one, and we can work out a trading time!

Woo, it's finally here again, 365 days later.. My birthhatchdaything. c:

Woo, birthday's coming up again, on the 25th. Only another few days now, getting exciting. Sorry about the late notice. n..n;

Just a short journal, just to say that.. Nothing special.

Nice to see you all again!

- Icy -

Ahyup, that's right!

Tomorrow morning, very early, I'm heading out for a holiday in Melbourne. I'll be away for a week, so if anyone needs anything, drop me a message or a note. I'll be on from time to time to check, maybe, so I might get back to you depending on how things go.

So, yeah! Not been up to all that much otherwise. Feel free to ask any questions about anything, if you want, I'm open to them.

See you all in a week, I guess!

- Icy -

That's right! Come one, come all, add my Steam account!

BLZ-BLU Lt. IcyAura I am on there, feel free to add me!

Also, for those wanting to talk to me anytime, my phone number's 0452224097. Please say who you are, so I know. n..n

Ahyup, I'm just going to be away for about a week, so I won't be able to respond to anything, or see anything anyone posts. Don't worry, I'll come back!
Feel free to send me a note or something in the meantime, and I'll get back to you when I can.
See you all soon!

- Icy -

Kidding.
Really.
Why would I?~

Ahyup, that's right! Just felt like announcing that, since I've probably had just a lil' too much sugar in the past hour or so.

If you also play, feel free to add me! Dhynamiks is the name!

As part of this journal, I've also decided to include this lil' rant about things I'm annoyed at about it!

Well, first up, Teemo. He's so broken. He's retardedly overplayed, to the point of being just frustrating. Every game, there's always one!

Second, Darius. He's much easier to counter now, though his nerf did nothing at all. He's still annoying, and overplayed.

Third, Xin Zhao. Need I say more? (Listen to 'Be a Man' from Mulan while watching him.)

Fourth, you don't notice just how many Riot Points you've bought until you check your wallet to find that you have nothing left.

---

I think that's just about it, actually..
See you all again sometime!

I. Wooooo! I'm back! Kinda!
I'll be on a few hours a day, so you can send me a note and I'll be able to talk to you all again!
Isn't that exciting? n..n

Anyways, otherwise.

Yep.. I'm back, a bit!

Feel free to pass me a note if you want to talk and I'll get back to you when I can.

II. ArtistWATCH!

Ahyup, I'm going to be trying to actually do this every week now, like I had said I would many months ago! I really need to get a stronger work ethic.. Bleh.

Anyways, the ArtistWATCH for this week goes to  virus-20 !

He's an artist I found a few years ago when I was first getting into the fandom, and I was quite inspired by his work - only a few days ago did I actually muster up the courage to talk to him. He's actually a really nice guy!
Not only that, he does excellent commissions; both brilliant quality and brilliant price. He's really quite the artist!
Feel free to talk to him if you like or, of course, look up his commission details on his page by clicking the icon above, and passing him an idea!

Congratulations!

---

III. Story Requests/Trades!

I've also been considering starting either writing requests or trades.. Again.. Though, I can never seem to keep up with them. This time, I'm going to try to; let me know what you guys think. My writing often involves around fantasy, though I can work with most things. I can meld ideas and make them work, often. So, let me know what you think! I can't work without you guys' opinions!

---

IV. New Story!

Also started a new story, the idea behind which I came up with when I first woke up in the morning a week or so ago. I've written a prologue, and started the story a little, though I'm not sure if it should go up here.. Let me know what you guys think about that as well!

---

V. ALMOST 150 +WATCHERS

Wow, and on top of all this, almost 150 +Watchers! This is amazing, thanks so much everyone!

---

That's all for now! See you all!~

- Icy -

Hey there, all! Been ages, hasn't it?

It's nice to see you all again, finally!

---

First of all,

SORRY FOR MY LONG ABSENCES TO DATE, AND I'M SAD TO SAY THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE as the new term starts soon enough! I'm trying to be on whenever I can, to check up on my messages, and to keep up with all you lovely folk. It's always nice to come on and see (*cough*HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SUBMISSIONS*cough*) plenty of new artworks and stories to browse through. You guys are doing an excellent job, please keep it up. n..n

---

Second,

The ArtistWATCH

As most should know by now, (supposedly) each week I write a short statement about an artist over the (supposed) week that has impressed me with either their kindness, their skill, or both! (I'm trying to keep up with the weeks, but due to my absences I keep missing out so many.. xwx; )

Anyways! The ArtistWATCH for this week is to  chompychomp!

This artist is a friendly, sociable user who's always up for a chat, or for doing an artwork for someone. Remarkably, he's one of the few I know who have, and do, use a Nintendo 3DS to draw their artworks. I commend them on their efforts to date, and I hope they comtinue to learn at the rate of which they have. Congratulations, Chompy!

Feel free to clicky the icony above and jump to their page, and take a look; they also do free requests, for anyone interested!

---

That's all for now, I believe.. Is it? I'm not sure.
Now I'm confusing myself.
Excellent.

Anyways, enjoy the rest of January, fellow users!

Icy out!

Yep, it's my birthday tomorrow!
Another year's gone by.. Sometimes we hardly notice it..

---

ArtistWATCH

Yep, it's that time of week again, when I post another artist who has been exceptional among the community from what I've seen. There are always many competitors, and I'm sure I'll get around to everyone eventually.

Anyway! The Artist to WATCH for Week 4 is  phen !

I've only recently become acquainted with this beautiful phoenix, but has she ever made an impression! A lover of growth and immense excess, she is kind and friendly, with a huge heart (though not quite as big as the rest of her usually is!), and a broad and open mind to anything. She's amazingly diverse, and in a way complex - and utterly charming. Feel free to strike up a conversation with her if you so wish! Drop by her page, and give her a +Watch!

---

That's all for now.
See you all next time!
