I knew there was a good reason I liked playing Medic.

Thanks for all the faves and watches! Glad you enjoyed those commissioned pics; I've got one or two more coming up, and hopefully more stories on the way as well. If anyone's interested in my Iron Writer idea, I'm still offering slots for short stories. :3 And, I'm working on a supar-seekrit project. Shhhh! Tell no one!

I'm just over 1,000 words in to a new story! It should be ready later tonight.

All righty, now we just have to clear 2012 for the doomsday people to shut up for another couple of years.

On a more positive note, I picked up LA Noire last night, and it's great. Driving's a bit wonky, but who didn't see that coming? The atmosphere, music, voice acting, action, and story are all excellent, and you get way more bang for your buck. I can't remember the last time I saw a game that needed multiple discs, and that makes me happy in my pants.

How dare you even consider de-minkinizing me! For shame!

No, seriously, what other sorts of animals comes to mind when you guys think of me?

Thanks, everyone. :3

Once you can breathe again (it took me a minute or two) why not get a $10 story commission? See my previous journal.

I've been trying to pick up on the commission thing for a couple years now, without much luck. But  danath has been generous to do a bit of thinking for me! I want to test out the Iron Writer gimmick as he does, setting out five commission slots.

Five slots for $10 each, 1,000-2,000 words. Leave a comment on the journal to snag a slot; once it's confirmed, note me the description (character names, descriptions, reference pics if you've got 'em, and the general plot).

Just make sure to tell me what you have in mind before you note me, just to make sure I'm cool with writing the subject matter.

Looks like I might be getting picked up for a permanent position at the ARC, which would be awesome. The weather's turning nice, I'm working on stories again; things are pretty much coming up roses!

Also,  Ulv is looking to put together an online D&D game, maybe with Pathfinder or the like. Check out his journal (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2252985/) for more details. We need one to four more people to join up, if you're interested.

Lots of good things happening at the end of this week. I snagged a job with the Red Cross, so I'm back in action and doing some good!

More importantly, I realized that Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, two cinematic shit-stains, never happened. It's impossible for either of them to have happened. Lemme break it down (spoilers):

In order for Alien 3 to have happened, the Queen who hitched a ride on the dropship up to the Sulaco must have run off through the ship, grown back her ovipositor (that big-ass goo balloon Ripley pumped full of grenades), laid at least two eggs, ditched her ovipositor again, and finally run back to the hangar to hide in the dropship's landing gear, all before Ripley, Bishop, and Newt exited the ship. No fucking way.

So, with Alien 3's storyline completely invalidated, Alien Resurrection never happens either! Huzzah!

Hey, has anyone gotten or played ClubStripes' naughty salute to pen-and-paper RPGs? I don't want to pick it up unless I know there would be some other people to play with.

I can't get the theme song out of my heaaaaaaaad. D:>

I mention dicks a lot in this journal...so yeah.

While trying to work my out of this funk that just seems to keep getting funkier, I've been doing some inward thinking, trying to sort out my idiosyncrasies and whatever is gumming up my gears (I'm also getting outside help, of the professional sort), and one thing that keeps sticking up (hurr hurr) is my thing with dicks. Anyone who's read my stuff on FA knows that I'm obsessed with big male junk. But why? I'm not small, just average. It's not about other dicks; outside of Internetland, I'm really not sexually interested in other men. Maybe I spent too many formative years textfucking instead of getting out to do the real thing. When I finally did get around to an intimate relationship, I passed up the chance of actually using my dick because I didn't want to rush things, and then it ended before things could proceed much further. Now I'm stuck in an island heaped up with circumstance and my own bad choices, and my dick has nothing to do with any of that, so I'm going to switch back to my original topic.

Metaphor: All cars serve the same basic function. There are different makes and models, but they all essentially do the same thing. Suppose you're given a stretch of open road and a selection of cars, one of which will be randomly picked for you to drive down the road. No matter which car is picked, you'll get from Point A to Point B, but aren't you hoping that you get the Zonda or the Veyron instead of the Civic?

I'm not saying that my life would be perfect with a big dick. I am saying that it would be nice to have one. And since I can't have one, I construct them, and that doesn't really help. It's a stupid "why not me?" thing, something that I shouldn't really care about, but stays in my head, ready to come up at any moment I think about sex. Which is a goddamn lot of moments, let me tell ya.

Fuck, even the most basic economy car would probably be fun to drive on that open road. My problem isn't really the make or model; it's that I have it in Park, and I'm too scared or dumb to go anywhere.

Shibara's free pic thing is done, so no more posting on that journal or whatever. XD

My CoC book arrived! I've been reading it an listening to some recordings of games over on yog-sothoth.com; it sounds so damn fun. If you've played D&D, it's like that, except you play a regular person and it's an unbelievably bad idea to try and fight the monsters. There's a lot more focus on role-playing and investigation, which is really interesting and seems to be a good deterrent against powergaming. If you've read anything of Lovecraft's you know what I mean; when faced with a horror from beyond space and time, you're much more likely to faint than hit it with an axe. X3

Stories with big ladies. Workin' on 'em.

Hey,  Shibara is doing a free raffle-type offering for a smutty pic of one lucky character! (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2022569/) Make sure to read the Commission Info (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1169312/) before posting. Advertise the journal in your own, and leave a reference pic of your character. Let's see who wins!

Also, my Call of Cthulhu book finally arrived! And it's awesome.

I tried something different with the story I'm working on now; instead of just getting an idea and plowing ahead, I mapped it out from beginning to end, making a quick text outline. We'll see if this helps me stay on track with it a bit better.

Also, my copy of the Call of Cthulhu RPG sourcebook, purchased with Xmas gift card funds, should be here tomorrow! Now all I have to do is find some people willing to descend into sanity-blasting fun. :)

I need to pick up Muramasa, if only for the sole, sad reason that I think Fujin and Raijin are the cutest fucking things EVER.

http://io9.com/5723835/the-clip-all.....ccers-must-see

I lol'd. You will too.

I hope you all had a merry Christmas, or at least a good 25th! Got me a snowboard with all the trappings, just in time for six-to-inches of snow to be moving through the area. True, there aren't any mountains within walking distance, but I'm sure four-wheel drive and towstrap will serve as a nice interim.

My elves work a bit slower than Santa's, but they're working! Juggling a lot of stuff, but your patience will pay off soon. :3 Many happy holidays and here's to the new year!

Seven thousand page views! Not that much in the grand FA scheme, but a respectable accomplishment for your humble literary sleazemonger.

I've almost finished with a couple pieces (slowly I wrote, step by step, inch by inch!), so let's hope that your attentions will not have been wasted. Here's to all those that have visited, watched, and commented; you're all pretty cool guys who support mink and don't afraid of anything.
