Okay...so I was goofing around with my plasma globe. My computer was in my lap at the time too. When I touched it, I felt a sting on my leg. Turns out that touching the plasma globe and something with a current running through it is a bad idea. Also, my mouse pad on my laptop wouldn't work for a minute when I accidentally touched the globe and the pad at the same time. My mouse just freaked out and didn't respond to my touch.

Eh...why not?

REPOST WITH TITLE:
"I cost $____ a night"

I just got my Pampered Chef Consultant Kit by FedEx today. I'm so excited about it too! Maybe I do a couple shows, I'll have a little money to spend on things like commissions. ^-^ Maybe I'll be able to gift my friends with them too, though no promises there. Maybe when I have a little more energy, I'll put a little more effort into a journal, but for now, that's all I have.

I was bored and couldn't sleep, so I decided that I would get and try out a few more of the Pokemon games for the DS (via emulator), and came across this one. I started playing and found not only the presence of very little story, but the simple, cartoon-y graphics are not what you would expect from an Nintendo DS. This game may be good for the smaller kids who don't really understand how to work the game. It was quite monotonous as well. In the hour and a half I played it, I did the same damn thing the whole time. It sorta reminded me of games like Bejeweled and Cubix.....only not as fun. My rating for it is pi out of 10. Why the dreaded 3.14159......? Because that's what the makers need to the face.

Weird things happen when ottertaurs don't get sleep, so anyone out there with an ottertaur for a pet, be sure and put them to bed before they find stupid games to write their FA journals about.

Next week, read about: Virtual Simon Says....do they really know you aren't following?

---

Thus concludes the silly madness and on to the less mind numbing. This is why I need to find a better hobby, I guess. Either that, or don't get a game at 3:00 in the morning and write about it at 4:30. When my brain is running on my daily meds (worst part of my day...usually), generic Mtn Dew (Big K brand, to be exact), and, Keebler Club crackers (best crackers ever!) all sorts of weird shit is bound to come out.

To those who read this, just know that it is not my usual insanity that I write...just a different kind this time. This is my tired-and-can't-sleep insanity.

Just a note before I close, I have added a header to my journals, and if it is taken seriously, harm will befall you from my hand upside your head.

And now to finish off with a terrible, butchered, and far overused joke.....

How do you keep a furry in suspense?
I'll tell you next time.

Okay...I think I have it figured out. I am Pteronura brasiliensis, or the Brasilian giant river otter, the biggest of all otters. I've gone through sea and river otter...just didn't fit though. Doesn't mean I am from Brazil though. And I still looooove clams.

Hmm....short. Can't think of anything else to say.

Okay, so I'm just sitting around, bored out of my mind with nothing really to write about, but that's sometimes the perfect thing for that term paper that you need and can't figure out what to do on it, just right about nothing....literally. I actually did that once in a class where we had to write a paragraph daily, but the teacher did not like it because appearently it was the wrong format or something. No one liked that class anyways, not even the teacher.

I'm thinking I may go and copy someone's art in my sketch book for the hell of it. Maybe a Pokemon or two....or this one of just a crotch with a beautiful dog cock. It was oil on canvas, but I can make it into pencil on paper. Makes me wish I was one of those wicked good artists that have to deny commissions because they have too many already.

Still making headway on that story I mentioned too, so watch for that in the next week or two, and keep on me about it too so I get it done. And now that I've run out of things to say, it's back to being bored.

Yup, that's right, the ottertaur is venturing out of his comfort zone and going to try my hand at the art of drawing. Up until now, I only made my art with a word processor, but now, I am breaking away from that.

Now I have the sketchbooks, 4 different pencils ranging from HB to 6B, hard and soft charcoal pensils, a sharpener, an eraser, a paper stump, small and large tortillons (no clue what they are for, but I have them), and a sand paper pointer. Now I just need advise (and to find out what everything after the eraser is for, why I need 4 pencils, and why 2 different charcoal pensils). Any artists out there willing to give out advise....HELP ME!

Still writing too though. Started a random story last night that I want to finish within the week. (Thanks, Tenten, for helping me to start it.)

I was a genius this morning. I got my meds and got up, then went out to town to go hunting for more jobs. Then about 1pm, my mom pounded on my door and woke me up. Turns out I was just dreaming....whoops. I don't recommend anyone do like I did. The thing about this dream was that it was so vivid and realistic. I was confused about where I was for a moment, because I don't even remember my head hitting the pillow and I hadn't come home in the dream. I was up at 9am too, ready to get up and everything.

Tonight, we had a spectacular thunderstorm, and it went quiet for quite a while, though now I am hearing it start up again from what it sounds like. We'll see what happens.

And now, it's that time of night when I need to start looking up porn while I lay here until I pass out. Ninight, everyfur!

Yes, that's right, I have too much time on my hands. I just spent the past who knows how long looking through the gallery of  ursofofinho. Not that I'm complaining, as he is a very talented artist, (heck, I made it to page 7 of his gallery) but I just spent the past 2 hours doing so. Next comes  arcc for anyone wondering. ^-^ Along with my ventures through Urso's gallery, I also started watching many good artists, some art whores, and a couple watchers.

Unfortunately, this overage of time is doing nothing for my writings. I still have the rewrite of my first story in suspended animation (aka writer's block). I'm thinking I may put that on hold and see what my creative brain can come up with. If anyone has any ideas for me, feel free to shoot them at me.

I think, if I can find someone who would do it for free or cheap, I want to get a few story icons that I can use, rather than the default FA one (not that the one provided isn't beautiful). Something that also came to mind was that I should get me a sketch book and all that so that I might be able to try my hand at drawing. I know that I said that I can't draw worth crap, but I've never really tried either. One of these days perhaps.....

One of these days, I'll make me a real artist's profile....something creative and awesome that will make you want to cry, laugh, and throw up, all at appropriate times. Still want to know what you would want from a commissioned story, and I won't stop asking until I have an answer.

[EDIT:] Oh, and something I almost forgot to mention....I am thinking of becoming a Pampered Chef rep. So maybe I'll have money for commissions!

Okay...maybe one of these days I'll get it. I've been wanting to do regular journaling on here, but I can never remember to sit down with my computer and thing of something to say, but then I run into the problem of having nothing to talk about. I could talk about my life, but that might bore most to death. my writing is going a little slow at the moment, so that is out too. I had an idea with my writings, but I'll come to that later.

After the excitement of meeting local furs last time, me and a couple of them went to see Up in the theatre...and I couldn't have been more satisfied with the movie. It was a wonderful and well written story with some big names on the cast. Most animated movies these days are so childish, it was nice to see one that everyone can enjoy. I suggest that anyone goes to see it who is able.

Now back to my writing. I am thinking I may buckle down and put out a few stories and then move on to taking story commissions. I heard about this idea from a friend and thought it might be interesting. And besides, if artists can do it, why not writers? I was thinking I might go with something like a dollar or 2 per full page* to start, just to see if I want to continue with it. I know that my name isn't really out there, but maybe it could be with a little help. Tell all your furry friends about this, maybe refer them to me.

For now, don't think I will take any commissions, but maybe within the next couple months. I would like to know what I would be expecting to be writing about. I'd love it if you would comment back and tell me, if you did get a story commission, what you would want in it. I have experience with fictional writing and character stories, so I'm sure I could figure out both of them.

Looking forward to hearing back from everyone on this. Tell your friends about this journal entry and ask that they respond. Like I say, I would like to see what sort of thing you would look for in a commissioned story.

And I guess with that, until remember to post again, this is Lutra, signing out!
