And now things are difficult
Posted 13 years agoHey all, some unfortunate news: My laptop is most likely broken. I closed it, which put it into sleep mode as always, but it refuses to turn on. At the same time, it does not register being plugged in, and I fiddled with the battery some and now I have just gotten frustrated. Not sure how long this will last, but this puts my entire life on hold for the moment, as it was my only computer. I will try and contact someone Monday, if at all possible, just hoping that the price isn't too terribly steep.
The good news is I don't have any papers due for at least another week, at least. Just figured an update would be in order as I have a few people waiting on things from me. Unfortunately, said people are going to have to keep waiting, but if that is a problem feel free to send me a note via FA, I'll try and check it when I can.

C'mon Dood!
Posted 14 years agoI figured it wouldn't hurt to change my avatar, sure it isn't of me, but it is a constant reminder I need to get Disgaea 4 in the immediate future.

And While I'm Complaining #2
Posted 14 years agoFor seriously, what is going on in the world of America politics? To be fair, it is pretty funny, but I don't understand why we encourage millions upon millions of dollars in pure -advertising- whenever an election or primary or whatever is approaching. The country (yeah that means, you, all of you...if you're American and currently living there and say the things I'm about to say) complains constantly about how money is constantly being wasted and blah blah...but Mitt Romney blowing almost $10 million dollars in the span of like, a week on a smear campaign? Of course, Newt Gingrich is quite smearable, spent a measly $4 million or something on making fun of Romney, but I didn't notice just how much money got pumped into wasteful crap like this until the 2008 Presidential election. Obama criticized the amount of cash dollars McCain had spent on advertising, when their difference in obscene amounts of money thrown into television and radio (hah, as if) was quite minimal. I think more people should complain, we should pool our money together and make complaint ads that complain about vast amounts of money being tossed around all willy nilly because....oooh, I see what I did there.
Also, why are corporations and super rich dudes willing to pay lobbyists the same amount (or sometimes more!) than the amount that they would be taxed? I guess over all not -everyone- is losing millions out of their billions, but it just seems like a douchey slap in the face.
And while I'm complaining, I freaking want to like Bleach again. This is similar to my bitching and moaning about Naruto, so I'll spare all of the detailed details for another time. I thought the show/manga was pretty awesome, and then one day it just wasn't! I'm all for creativity, but the "DBZ Approach" is not well suited for shows. Make one dude stupidly over powered, make the protagonist the only person who can stop them by becoming even more stupidly over powered. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And of course those lousy "side characters" get more scraps from the table than those from Naruto or DBZ do/did, but it's still frustrating. I did love DBZ, don't get me wrong, but when I sat down and thought about it....none of it made any sense, and we shouldn't have let Akira Toriyama (Who is double on my list because he draws black guys with those huge lips D:<) get away with it, or any of the others who did it before him, or Superman. One Piece does get dangerously close to this...but it's still pretty funny and goofy, so hey they get a bit of leeway.
I also want a breakfast burrito :C

When are you /too old/ for college?
Posted 14 years agoJust curious what you guys think.
How old is too old for someone to be in college? Not graduate school, just an undergrad in college. Don't give me any prepackaged answers, please, I would just like honest opinions.
Thank you in advance.

Now, with that out of the way
Posted 14 years agoAfter relieving myself of my pent up political rage and Naruto woes (yes, I am a grown man), I simply must ask.
How are all of you doing?
How are all of you doing?
And While I'm Complaining
Posted 14 years agoWelcome to the first post of my new series, AWIC (And While I'm Complaining) where I most likely whine about an "actual" issue before I dive into a long winded rant about something minor that annoys me. Now then, enough talk, let's get to business.
What the hell is going on in the political world of America? I am registered as Unafilliated, because I believe bipartisanship is stupid and is one of the main reasons why our government is seen as completely incompetent. "Oh I can't agree with you, you're not in MY party, so now I disagree." It's like a bunch of 10 year-olds bitching and whining at each other because if Tyler says he likes the color blue, then Jessica can't, otherwise the world implodes or some shit. With my neutral status, I will say that if Obama does not get re-elected then it is going to mean very sad times. Chances are, Mitt Romney will be the representative for the Republican party, but that man is a gigantic tool, a very, very rich tool. 'Broadening' the tax base is his way of giving more tax cuts to the rich in favor for taxing the living piss out of everyone who isn't rich. Those under the poverty line? Super taxed, because they can afford it while the "job creators" (who happily send jobs to other countries rather than pay Americans a decent wage and give them benefits) get to sit on a larger pile of money. Being a Sociologist, I have discovered, on my own, without reading from a book, that the income inequality is MASSIVELY disproportionate and is only getting worse if Romney somehow becomes president. Never mind more anti-gay/abortion/women/breakfast burrito legislation, but the money factor is really starting to worry me.
Look at it this way, the income inequality is so bad in the United States, that if it was a race, the US would have lapped the UK (who is in a verrrry distant second place) more than 16 times, and this is not comparing the average CEO to the minimum wage worker, it is comparing the average CEO to the average employee. Comparing it to minimum wage workers more than doubles the inequality, but hey one thing at a time.
And while I'm complaining, what the hell happened to Naruto? I will put up a warning for spoilers when the time comes, but this show/manga has spiraled completely out of control for what seems like no real reason. Okay, so the basic story I learned somewhat when I was a Sophomore in high school, and I was like, "Whoa! Neat! Ninjas!" and the crappiest ninja of all was Naruto. He was bad at everything, had no friends, and everyone hated him. Kinda like Yu Yu Hakusho, but while Yuramshi could beat everyone up and didn't care he had 'no' friends, Naruto was secretly depressed like crazy about being a pariah. Despite all of this, Naruto wants to become super ninja president of his village, prove those bitches wrong and show everyone how awesome he really is. Through a lot of ups, downs, hard work, friendships, heart of the cards and all that, Naruto becomes super awesome. But what is the result? Dun dun dun!
Minor spoilers here~ but yeah, Sasuke, currently the worst character ever in any anime or manga I have watched or read, was Naruto's "best friend" (and nothing else, no benefits) for...reasons, I dunno, it kinda happened out of necessity. Okay so the two are rivals, Sasuke is super emo, and because he has been crawling in his skiiiiin for too long he decides to become evil, in like one afternoon. He just decides, "Nuts to this, I'm gonna go join the guy who practically raped and murdered me. These losers who actually like me are chumpwagons!" and he and Naruto fight. So our hero loses, Sasuke leaves forevar to get stupider (I swear to god, he has HANDS that grow out of his back that make him fly. Not nearly as cool as Robin's from One Piece) and shop at Hot Topic some more. That is pretty much where the first half of Naruto's story comes to an end, minus the 100 episodes of filler in the anime (dear god why), but then the second half starts up. Dun dun dun, yet again.
Bit more spoilers here, but you aren't missing out on much. So yeah, Naruto and all of his friends (by the way he has like, 10 other people in his age who are also ninjas with their own personalities and abilities and characteristics and stuff, but whatever) train for two years or something, then Naruto comes back and he's even more awesome. Seems all of that hard work is paying off! Well, no, no it isn't. Fuuurther down the line, we find out (Okay, now here's an actual spoiler, I guess)......................Naruto is ninja jesus. He is the chosen one. He is their ninja messiah. He was proclaimed to become the best ever ninja evar, because some frogs or whatever said so. Hear that kids? You can work hard to better yourself, but you have to be the chosen one, otherwise it won't matter! Wow. What the hell? What makes this even worse? Now it is basically just DBZ all over again.
Not really spoilers here. What do you mean there are tons of characters, who are awesometastic (Shikamaru especially) and sometimes get to do something in the main story while the others are just really expensive wallpaper (Shino, sadly)? What do you mean that every fight will basically be decided by Goku, erm, Naruto showing up after his sucky friends all get their asses kicked and saves everyone by beating the super bad guy (and another complaint, the antagonists in this series are INSANELY stupidly overpowered and make no fucking sense) and then being cheered on for being so awesome. Never mind the fact that he's like, 16, and ninjas will decades more experience than him suck like crazy (even the other people who have the same 'condition' as Naruto) and get killed off with relative ease. Never mind the fact that there is, or well was, an expansive cast with loads of potential, never mind the fact that Sasuke is freaking stupid and has 0 motivation to do anything but still manages to be incredibly stupid. But now the kid who tried so hard to prove himself can slow down, because he is going to win, no matter what. On top of that, the main antagonist has what I like to call the "Bleach problem" wherein everything, and I mean everything, was all just some huuuuuge convoluted plan to get someone to be able to do something like rule or destroy the world or whatever, this isn't spoilery it's just about every anime/manga out there and don't you dare deny it.
Even with the main antagonist having the stupidest...the stupidest big bad plan (Moooooooon) ever, and how impossible it would be for him to get subordinates or whatever, super duper ninjas who because they're evil can destroy an entire village full of ninjas in ten minutes, nothing upsets me more than the fact that I used to give a damn about Naruto. I wanted to see the wacky adventures, I wanted to see the heartache, I wanted to see the victories, character growth (Like Sakura!...Oh wait never mind, one act ruins all of it), and I wanted to see a decent tale. Now it's to the point where I am in rageaholic mode because I don't know what happened, where did it all go wrong? I loved DBZ, because I was young and stupid, but that show starts OFF waaaay too stupid, by making Raditz needlessly overpowered and then completely pointless as a character, and then writing out every character other than Goku/Naruto for the sheer fact of no creativity. It used to be some zany ninja show about ninjas, now it's just about Naruto showing up and saving everyone, because he is the only one who can win (at least outside of the filler where he is still a goof, until he gets SERIOUS. Just like Goku) and nothing is ever going to change that. Sasuke is utterly wasted, the rest of his ninja friends are background characters, and now the story is sooooooo convoluted at this point, they have resorted to doing something so incredibly stupid that I won't say it here.
Okay I lied, SPOILER alert.....................Zombie ninjas. Because when you've used up good ideas, bring back the dead characters.
Now I'm at the point where it's like...why? How could this happen to meeeeee and only meeee? But with my faux self-centeredness aside, I know that in a few months I cam going to peek in on Naruto again, just to see what happens. Mostly, I want to see if it will ever end at this point. They drew me in initially, and yeah I had a great time for a good while, and then once things hit stupid territory, I kept coming back like a battered husband, hoping that this time things were going to be different. But...things aren't, they just keep getting worse, and now the kids are living with my parents and I cry whenever I hear the door open, knowing that...okay off topic, but yeah.
I guess there are some things that can't be helped, like morbidly curious about something I just spent god knows how long complaining about, and let me tell you this I barely scratched the surface. Though it does feel good to get this off my chest, for the time being, I know that no matter what I say or do, Naruto is going to be one of the most popular things evar, even when the writing is so horrid it would make Hemingway blush. Okay that was a huge hyperbole, Hemingway is god awful, but hey I still said it because sometimes I think it's still true.
Watching a trainwreck is prone to leave me angry, but only because I liked the trains to begin with.
Also, guess this means I'll be coming to FA more often than I have been in the past. Weee.

So I went on hiatus, I guess
Posted 14 years agoAnd I'll be back eventually. Sorry for keeping certain people waiting, and I have yet to respond to any of the ten notes I have stacked up.
I'll get to them when I'm in a proper mindset rather than try to force it out now. Thank you for understanding.

Post Anthrocon
Posted 14 years agoAll the cool kids are doing it, so now I am too.
Fuck Sushi Kims, yes, I was there, and yes part of me still laughs/rages when I think about it. But hey, it was an awesome experience! An entire group bonding via hatred? That kicks ass!
Okay, so the convention itself was pretty much what I expected. Awesome roommates, awesome friends, awesome people I didn't get to see too much of or at all in general, and that last one sucks but it's hard to avoid of course. The vore party was surprisingly awesome, not too overwhelming or awkward like in past years, but I did get to chat with people I had only seen partially online before, and now I'm tempted to chat them up online before the next convention.
I'm now stranded on the other side of the United States with :iconLuke" until the 4th, so I'm still on vacation mode. All the same, I will finish up my business and get back to doing stuff here and in other sites.
I could list who all is awesome and stuff, but you should already know who you are. Now for a few quotes, next year I will have to bring a notepad to write them all down.
"Daddy! I got good grades! NOW GET UP MY ASSHOLE!"
"You were almost a [noun] sandwich!" (side note, surprised no one flat out punched me for saying that over and over and over again)
"Stop being a fucking silly!"
"TEAM JUSTICE!"
"I hate being hugged, but that Canadian guy fucking destroyed and fixed my back."
"Jolly rancher booze?"
"He's some sort of cross between a raptor and a serial murderer, only not in the awesome way I'm thinking."
"Those mother fuckers better not eat my mother fucking wings at the mother fucking vore party!"
"I gave them $23.50 and told them to keep the fucking penny as their tip."
"That isn't where the flavor is, that is disgusting black DEATH waiting to kill you."
There were oodles and oodles more, but I laughed so hard they left my memory. Anyway, thanks for reading, you guys kick ass.
Side note- Apparently I have friends who are EPIC at DDR! Who knew? :D *Is awful at that game, but respects their made skills*

Okay, so this is what's going down
Posted 14 years agoUpdate time! My life is so interesting and super amazing that so much has happened in the past...month or so? Okay, so not really, but anywho as far as immediate things are concerned, I am attending Anthrocon, which is both good and bad. Good because it's sick awesome, bad because due to a recent set back I am not as comfortable financially as I would hope. So other than what temp work I have gotten, I am also doing story commissions. I have a few I need to get back to the kind and patient people who have hired me, but yeah if anyone is interested please let me know, my prices are fairly negotiable with a base price of around $15-$20 (depending on said story's complexity, and that includes the first 5 full pages of text) with every page after that just $2. So yeah, note me or e-mail or whatever is best for you.
In the meantime, I have a huge backlog of finished stories I want to share, buuut I'm uneasy about doing so. When I get over myself, I am sure this summer will have a lot of awesome (I hope at least) submissions and all sorts of fun stuff. See you guys at AC and what not, but until then I should be around, getting writing stuff done, hopefully!
Thanks for reading, as always :3
And PS, I have a new F-List thingy if people are curious. It's right here and I hang out in the vore chat sometimes too.

Avian Appreciation
Posted 14 years agoIt has come to my attention that after my last journal, which was ages ago, gathered quite a bit of distaste for those of the avian variety. First let me say, for shame on you people D:< our feathered members of the vorish community seem to be greatly under appreciated, which I think is appalling! I made a comment in jest about changing my species, and more than a few people got all ">:(" with me, and that is sad.
So, I have this new journal, which shall contain only awesome things about our hungry/delicious/voyeuristic feathered friends! So either leave a nice comment, or go out and hug a birdie, gryphon, hybrid, whatever. Show 'em some love!
I <3 avians <3

Might have to change my species to PHOENIX
Posted 14 years agoWhy? Well, other than the fact that avians are criminally underused in the vore community, I have returned. Got a new computer, more news at 11 (or if you just ask me), but long story short: I am super jazzed about this.
Semester is almost done, my 3.75 GPA is safe for the most part, the play I am in premieres on Thursday, and now I have a working computer. Woot. I will respond to messages and get back to work and what not when I get the chance, going to be a busy weekend, but the good kind of busy, mostly.

An update on the situation
Posted 14 years agoHey all,
Time to bring you up to speed (if you're curious, if not feel free to wait until I come back). Laptop is still acting up something fierce, got a USB keyboard to fix the problem hopefully, but I am not allowed to uninstall the built in keyboard, due to the fact that when I am prompted to restart to put this change into effect my laptop re-installs it because it thinks I made a mistake or whatever. I have spent quite some time fiddling around trying to get around this, looking up stuff online and what not, but ultimately I am starting to think that the problem is a grave internal one, as in the motherboard is mucked up. It is still only one key, one I am very confident has nothing wrong with it personally, but the issue only stems from it. I have cleaned, removed, really I tried my best. Instead of doing something I might regret later, I am just going to stop trying. Expect to see me back and fully active sometime in May, I hope, until then good luck and stuff.
I apologize to those waiting on commissions or other thingies, but I will try to get them done when I can. Writing in the library sucks, as I am one of those people that requests isolation to actually get work done (either school-wise or story stuff) so it is a very, very slow process. I have school stuff that needs to get finished first, and thankfully my professors are very understanding of the situation. I hope everyone is doing well and stuff, I'll be back when I get back.
DEUCES!
PS. Thanks for all the birthday wishes, you guys are too kind! It really helped perk me up that day.

A question for all you smart computer people
Posted 14 years agoI have a problem, a reoccurring one in fact. For the past several weeks, my computer, at random it seems, begins to spam the "a" key constantly in a never ending stream. The only temporary cure is for me to shut it down and then come back in an hour or so. Anywhere from between fifteen minutes to about seven hours is when this issue pops up again, but it is rather destructive as it Pacman'd an essay of mine. This is about the 4th time this problem has happened, and the guy who as totally supposed to fix my laptop over Spring Break never successfully responded to the horde of e-mails, texts, phone calls, and messages via Facebook he demanded that I send him. He kept pushing it back, then he just went quiet all together.
I plan on getting a new laptop in the summer, but for right now I have about 6 weeks left of school, and all my classes demand that I have constant access to a computer and the internet and the computers in the labs/library are only a last ditch option. If anyone has any idea as to what's wrong, or more importantly if I, a super non-computer savvy fellow can fix it. I have ran virus scans and spywear termination stuff, both come back completely clean with no issues whatsoever.
Any ideas? Thank you for your time.
Edit: There is no problem with the key itself. Nothing is stuck underneath it, and in the past it has always been the 'a' key. The keyboard has been changed more than once on this thing, so I highly doubt that is the problem.
Edit 2-Electric Boogaloo: This computer is a laptop with the standard built in keyboard. I do not have access to other keyboards at this time.

A question for the vores #2
Posted 14 years agoSo yeah, now I'm super curious. My most popular story in terms of views, comments, and favorites Allure of the Wolf recently broke 100 favs. This is really surprising to me, since it as so much...stuff in it, and contains more counts of 'alternate' vore than the traditional kind.
So, here is my question, good people: What is your preferred method(s) of vore? Either as predator or prey or if you just like to watch or whatever. I'm curious what would get the most hits.
My personal selection with vore as either predator or prey or whatever (in no particular order) is as followed: Oral (soft), Anal, Cock, Tail, Pouch, Absorption, Navel, Unbirthing (yeah it counts), Wing, Udder (yeah, I'm weird), Trunk (mostly just an elephant thing, but <3), and I'm sure there's some others that don't quite 'fit' these parameters.
But yeah, I'm just curious for your answers, so go wild.
Thanks in advance <3

How often do you...
Posted 14 years agoHow often do you just stop everything, sit down (or stand if you prefer) and go through old notes, IM archives, RP logs, e-mails, or whatever?
Are the names of those you shared those times with now foreign to you? Was there a falling out? Did things just slip away? Do you miss this person(s)? Do you get depressed when you think about just how things are different now compared to way back then?
I recently went through all my notes here on FA, and I browsed quite a bit through my Y!M archive (even though it only goes back to Christmas Eve 2008, the last time everything on my computer vanished) and I saw a lot of names. Now, I have met tons and tons of awesome people here on these internets, 99% of them voraphiles and the like. Each one unique in their own way, everyone has something to bring to the table (vore joke, hah) but I have had quite a few friendships just hit a brick wall. Very rarely, there is an actual fight in which words are exchanged and bridges burned, as all too commonly time causes us to drift apart. It's slow at first, I figure at least, then it has been half a year since we last spoke. Why is this? I dunno, probably life just gets in the way. There are so many people that it would be impossible to stay in perfect contact with everyone...so usually I avoid IMs, save for some private time here and there, or if people request me on etc. That sucks though, doesn't it?
I guess what I'm trying to say is, it sucks that there's only 24 hours in a day (even though I'm sure if there were more the work day would be longer...:() and 7 days a week (see previously complaint) as there's too many amazing people in this crazy community thingy. I just want people to know that I do not forget about them, even when things go silent and there's nothing left to do or say. Looking through my notes and IMs I felt pretty depressed, as several people have abandoned the internet all together. For those of you still around that talk to me or support me or even think of me, know that I still do the same for you most likely. I suppose this is the part where I quote something from Kingdom Hearts about memories and the bond of friendship, but nah, pretty sure my ramblings made enough sense.
Also: anyone remember that journal I made about all the stuff I wanted to do before I turned 24? I got most of it done, save for the acrobatic and break dancing stuff :< no room to practice in this dorm room. *Sad* Still, I will tear up the dance floor at AC, I really worked hard honing my craft <3

So, what's up?
Posted 15 years agoYeah, I guess I'm back more or less. Had another -minor- episode, and sadly it was a rerun so it wasn't anything new. But hey, now I should be posting stuff and talking to people on here more commonly. Sorry for the hiatus that went on from December until well, just a few days ago. I am working through some personal issues, so yay me, taking care of my stuff finally.
Also fun fact, I'm actually involved with stuff this semester. Yaaaay. Catch you beautiful, jive turkeys later.

Just finished removing stories
Posted 15 years agoI got rid of them because they are in direct violation of the new Acceptable Upload Policy. There are only a few, thankfully, but I had plans to upload finished ones to this site, however now that is not possible. The removed stories (because I know you're so curious) are "No More Nightmares", "Tucked In", and "Devon's Gift". The latter of those is receiving a direct sequel in a few weeks for Christmas and stuff, so if you'd like to see it or any other of my work that contains vore and or sexual acts with characters under the age of 18, I am on Inkbunny http://inkbunny.net/Jizzal and since they have strict rules about no humans appearing in anything of the adult nature, the stories that don't fit here or there will be on SoFurry http://jizzal.sofurry.com/ if you wish to follow my work that is no longer allowed on this website. My other stories that contain "teenagers" I am not getting rid of, because I never stated their age, so they are all now 18 or 19, since those are still teens.
As always, thank you for reading.
PS, wish it was a bit easier to remove stuff!

So I lied!
Posted 15 years agoI said I would get to 50k early, what a big fat lie that was. Anywho, I still made it with no problem, all I gotta do now is let this project go to bed so I can work on it some more another day.

PS, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's fine too.

Yeah, I have been kinda busy
Posted 15 years agoAll sorts of stuff, mostly school and the like, and the idiots I live with. But hey, that's life. Finally started writing, again. Doing NaNoWriMo, with a huge handicap of starting about a week late, and never really sitting down to write even when I try to. If you're interested in my progress so far (I still intend to finish early) you can check out this link --> http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/447129
I don't want to give too much away with this story, though it is not the continuation to Trepidation. Due to a general lack of interest, motivation, and also the true deciding factor that I would want to spend much more than a month writing its next installment, this November I am writing an interesting (at least I think it is) little tale that has been stuck in my head for the past 3 years, and was originally my first NaNoWriMo candidate before Amar slithered into my subconscious and made me his writing slave.
In other news, I have been doing some commissions as well, and I'm considering uploading some of the crap I have been hoarding these past few months and finishing up other stuff saved on my computer. I uploaded a new story with Chad, if you're into big, muscular wolves doing stuff to smaller males, I recommend you check it out. I am trying something new with my thumbnails (which for some reason are blown up like damn! What's up with that?) and what do you guys think? Should I have my current set up of one of my icons with just a few, main "kinks" or whatever will be involved? Or should I use my old set up of shamelessly listing all of the naughty bits on a colored background I made in MS Paint? Either way, the title page is designed in MS Paint, because I'm so classy.
Anywho, thanks for reading, almost Thanksgiving too!

This thought just came to me, and I can't think of a reason as to why this wouldn't happen.

Looking for roommates for Furfright
Posted 15 years agoFurfright is coming up. I however, am not attending.
Luke is though, and he's a really, really good friend of mine. He's also looking for people to stay in his room, therefore lowering the cost for all that attend this gay event. Just to warn you though, he is very awesome, terminally so. I recommend that you yourself also have such a condition, but if you're reading this then that already proves that you are!
Send
Luke a message or leave a comment here if you're interested, as of now he is staying in the 2nd overflow hotel with
Ty_the_Fox who is also of the awesome persuasion. Hope you guys have fun at FF!

Posted 15 years agoIt has come to my concern that many users of the "Internet" are greatly unaware of how to share words with each other properly. Of course, the "Internet" is a brand new, mysterious technology that is growing with popularity and sees almost hundreds of new users each and every day! I am doing my part to help those who may be struggling with the simple concept of how to not make a total moron of one's self! With these easy steps, even the most socially inept dullard will be able to communicate with confidence throughout the World Wide Web.
1. "Don't be a douchebag"- If you only know how to be a selfish, self-centered, self-absorbed, self-obsessed, self-satisfying, waste of space, then you shouldn't be trying to chat with other people to begin with. Don't go thinking that the world revolves around you, or that the sun shines out of your ass. Instead, you should learn some "manners" or maybe even "courtesy" if you want to really go all out. Seriously, this shouldn't be that hard.
Wow, what a lesson! Follow these simple rules however, and bright skies are all that await you here on the "Internet!"

Stuff has been going on!
Posted 15 years agoAlright now, first thing's first. I finished uploading my second novel, Trepidation. There's no vore or other stuff of that nature in it, but if it has your curiosity then pleeease check it out. At the very least check out the simply awesome cover page
Forest-Wolf did for me! It's simply fantastic, as is his other work. If you aren't familiar with his stuff, then I recommend you remedy that factor right now!
As for other writing stuff, yes I have a lot of stuff completed, I'm just iffy about uploading it now is all, but really I'm sure I shall share it with you all and what not. Though in regards to requests, gifts, and trades, I -sometimes- do those. Requests I very, very rarely do anymore, gifts are more likely to happen, and trades? Maybe! Just ask and we'll see how I'm feeling at the moment.
Jumping onto another topic: the movie Inception. It's really, really, really cool. Possibly my favorite movie ever, and I have a haaaard time playing favorites and the like. If you haven't seen it and if the concept of exploring dreams, sexy action, epic music, fantastic acting, and perfectly placed humor. This is all my opinion of course, but I think it's amazing.
And my final topic for today, this morning at work my friend and I found a cat in the broom/light closet. For those of you that don't know, I work at an indoor soccer facility, certainly the last place I'd expect to find a cat. It's male, but I thought he was a she because his meow is reeeally feminine. I have named him Mr. Jasper (formerly Miss Janice) and hopefully I will find his owner, because he's really, really sweet and affectionate, plus my parents won't want to have a cat. I'm shipping off to college on the 19th, so I wouldn't be able to look after him. As of now he is hiding in my room without my father's consent, I doubt he would approve, but my mom is afraid of getting attached because this cat is super awesome.
That should be it for now...thanks for readin'!

Posted 15 years agoHaving some computer issues, so please bare with me. Hopefully things should be settled before too long, until then I most likely won't be around or even remotely active.
Writing sucks
Posted 15 years agoY'know why? Cause no matter what anyone does or how good they get or how fantastical their style becomes, it will -always- just be words. This hit me after someone said something kinda mean to me yesterday, and I guess it's sticking! Felt like I should share it here, though it's hard to tell the difference between this journal and let's say, anything else ever written. X3
Feh, I hate it when people are inconsiderate, especially when they do it by "accident." At least AC was fun.
