Posted 14 years agoI'm going out-of-my-fucking-mind-bat-shit insane. Everything is ahead of me now. I'm watching my life like I got out and neglected to put on the brakes and now it's speeding down a hill and I'm powerless.
Fuck me, where did I go wrong?

Frozen Eddies
Posted 15 years agoDays are getting colder and time is still flowing past, leaving me lost in the midst of this place.. I know how I got here, now how do I leave.. I can't do this alone, but what do you do when the one you need is lost miles away from you..
Pooled in the eddies of life's river..
All we have is our dreams...

Posted 15 years agoGave myself a tattoo, prison style. Ruined a good white hand towel, got more ink everywhere else on my skin than where intended, and now I know what I'm doing. Ink pen and a sewing needle. And no, it was black ink, I just felt like quoting shawn of the dead.

Posted 16 years agoI hate going through thousands of submissions at once.. it makes it look like I don't pay attention to the art I'm watching.. which, some of it I didn't, I'll have to admit. But I literally had almost 2k to go through, can you really blame me?
An update.
Posted 16 years agoSo I've lightly scanned and favourited through about 200+ submissions, I normally don't have such a high amount of faves all within a few minutes of each other. And I'm going to be spending the next . . . while . . drawing, possibly very pointless (bad) crap, but I know I'm not bad at drawing, I just need much more practice. Don't expect to see any of it unless I particularly like something, like that smut I drew before.
Happy Holidays!
Posted 16 years agoSo of course my isp would have effed up when I wanted to be on and talk to people last night. Of course >.>

Intranets
Posted 17 years agoRight, I'm really starting to lose my patience for my isp, I've gone for about a week without internet and landline phone because the modem's been giving out. I don't know what the hell is wrong with it, but it constantly appears to be resetting itself without being able to relocate the internet connection.

Escape
Posted 17 years agoWhere is it that you go, in times when you need to escape? Is it a physical place? Or something mental, a pleasant memory or invented "happy place"? On most occasions I can seclude myself within my room, listen to some good music, or even begin writing some new story ideas.
When you're a writer, where do you go to find escape? Are you cautious to immerse yourself within the writing of others, fearful of stealing too many used ideas and losing your own insight? Sometimes I begin to think so, it doesn't stop me from reading, but I'm always self-conscious when I read, trying to weed out my own ideas from things I'm merely borrowing. But is it a bad thing to borrow such ideas? It's one thing to mimic the writing style of another writer, my opinion would be that there's no harm in such a thing, but a good writer would borrow from the writing styles of others, while adding in a little of their own charisma, melting it together and creating there own methods.
As always, when I emerge from my wallowing in the creativity of others, I feel inspired, but as I said, it can be difficult to sift the borrowed from the truly inspired. On some occasions I can just begin to write about things that have nothing in common with what I emerged from, in other moments, I want to plunge immediately into creating fan-fictions and the like. As do I feel write now, sitting staring at the cover of a book, barely a week old, that I've just finished.
I nearly had a panic attack earlier today when some of the protective film peeled away from, and took some of the cover with it. I was almost halfway through with the book, and the cover artwork was so beautiful to me that I nearly flipped, seeing a large space of removal, replaced with a white nothing. I managed to tape only the offending piece of film back on, matching up the colours and lines, leaving a mere bubble on the artwork where there was once nothing. (I was lucky that the tape was of good quality and completely clear.) I hated myself at that moment, I had been so protective of my new book since it had arrived in the mail, and at that moment this morning I had failed.
Though now, mere minutes after closing the book, looking at this 'bubble' again, I realized that books, as well as a lot of things look a little better with wear. The gap in texture where the film was, the bubble, and the tape lining the edges of the covers gives the book character, as well as the white crease marks from trying to read text so near the spine. I finished this book and my eyes were wet, I can't exactly explain why, and never did a tear leave my eye, but ending the book, it was so beautiful. I can't even recall the last time when I had neglected everything else in order to keep reading in such suspense, eager to know what happens next, and I will admit there were fair instances of light romance that kept me reading on. I was as much into the drama of the characters as I was into the suspense of the plot line.
This is one of the moments when I feel inspired, yet in this inspiration, I feel detached. I think about my own attempts at writing, and I think of how much I would want my readers entangled into my words as I was with the words of another author. Suddenly large gaps appear in my writing, things I may have been too naive to notice before, but I want to keep writing, now more than ever. I want to improve, I want to make better, I aspire to give the feeling of immersion to my readers. Will I accomplish it? Probably not soon, I'm still young considering my writing, and I have a long road ahead of me. I'll keep writing as always, though to write detached is an impossible feat, no, not impossible, just often fruitless when it comes to attempts of good fiction.
In such states, however, I love to philosophize about life and it's occurrences, and sometimes the wake of such moments is very fertile for writing. Even now, writing this in a detached like state has led me to rambling and I struggle to find an efficient form of closure to this rant. Will I find it? I could if I just drop it off and leave it hear for the reader to chew over what I've said, slice it open and digest it. Which I find efficient enough, so I leave, to return to other things. Blessed be.
~*Could it be possible that my rant took me nearly an hour to write? I feel as if it couldn't have taken more than a few minutes.
~*I have to admit, the conclusion leaves much to be desired, but I would have been hard pressed not to begin rambling about unrelated things.

I was as much into the drama of the characters as I was into the suspense of the plot line.
This is one of the moments when I feel inspired, yet in this inspiration, I feel detached. I think about my own attempts at writing, and I think of how much I would want my readers entangled into my words as I was with the words of another author. Suddenly large gaps appear in my writing, things I may have been too naive to notice before, but I want to keep writing, now more than ever. I want to improve, I want to make better, I aspire to give the feeling of immersion to my readers. Will I accomplish it? Probably not soon, I'm still young considering my writing, and I have a long road ahead of me. I'll keep writing as always, though to write detached is an impossible feat, no, not impossible, just often fruitless when it comes to attempts of good fiction.
In such states, however, I love to philosophize about life and it's occurrences, and sometimes the wake of such moments is very fertile for writing. Even now, writing this in a detached like state has led me to rambling and I struggle to find an efficient form of closure to this rant. Will I find it? I could if I just drop it off and leave it hear for the reader to chew over what I've said, slice it open and digest it. Which I find efficient enough, so I leave, to return to other things. Blessed be.
~*Could it be possible that my rant took me nearly an hour to write? I feel as if it couldn't have taken more than a few minutes.
~*I have to admit, the conclusion leaves much to be desired, but I would have been hard pressed not to begin rambling about unrelated things.
Diamonds
Posted 17 years agoDue to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.
New Story!
Posted 17 years agoAfter several months of inactivity, the last one undoubtedly due to the prolonged outage of FurAffinity, I have returned! I've posted a new story for you all to read, at your leisure of course. I know, it's been a little over three months since my update of Desolation with part 2, but I assure there will be a part 3 soon. In the meantime I encourage that you read and comment/critique my new story. Right now being probably one of the worst times to upload it, being the time at night and the flood of furgeeks who have been mentally salivating for the return of FA and their outlet to post media, will undoubtedly push my submission quickly from the front page.
When I died
Posted 17 years agoI had a dream last night. It wasn't really a nightmare, though it was close it was more like a bad trip. I was kidnapped by some weird guy, I can hardly remember his appearance, and he kept preaching to me about how me and the rest of my scum are tainting the planet etc. (gay/furry idk) And then he was talking about how he wanted to kill me and whoever I'm associated with by his terms, and at this point I'm naturally scared because he's been pointing a gun at me the whole time. We walk into this guys front room and for the first time, I speak, "Why?" He shoots me square in the forehead, i fall backwards some how roll-over mid-fall and land limp with my head in the seat of a yellow-mesh recliner. At this point you'd think I'd wake up, I didn't. I'm not dead either, and I can't feel any pain from my head, though I can see the seat being stained with my blood. Now, I'm lying in an uncomfortable position though trying not to move and stay dead so he won't shoot me again, because gods only know why I'm not dead yet. However, he must have realized from my breathing or something that I wasn't dead, and the oddest thing. Instead of shooting me again, he throws a towel at me and tells me to clean up my mess from my blood. At this point is when you start feeling detached and I knew I was dreaming, which is why when I reached down and dialed 911 on my cell phone, I never sent the call because I knew I was asleep and was afraid I might actually be holding my cell phone. (Kind of like sleep walking) At that point an ungodly loud clap of thunder woke me up and that was the end of the dream.
