*UPDATE!* It's back on!

Hey guys...

I feel like a heel not mentioning this and me being such a big SWAT Kats fan. Word's goin' around that the SWAT Kats could be brought back on your TV screens. One of the creators, Christian Trembley (forgive me if I spelled his name wrong), is trying to make this possible but needs help from the fans. Click below to join a letter signing campaign...thingie.

I'm feeling a bit iffy about this. As I said on 's journal, I do want the cartoon to come back and have me proud to watch Cartoon Network once again but it SCARES me thinking about having it revived. The only good revised cartoon I've seen so far is Thundercats; yes the plot and animation is different but it's the good kind different, especially the way they changed Snarf.

I had a nightmare where humans, rookies in some kinda police force that don't like following the rules, somehow made their into the SWAT Kats universe, find the SWATKats hanger, and before you know it there were six SWATKats, three Turbokats, and one of them could turn into a mech. I wanted to punch myself in the head for even having that kinda dream

I'll be happy with the new SWAT Kats if they don't make it anime; no face-faults, sweatdrops, no having them say "Nyan!" and the like (and this is coming from an anime fan) but KEEP the "rushing at you" backgrounds (and I know in the 2nd series they kinda-sorta made it anime-ish but they didn't over do it)!

I can't say "don't add anymore SWATKats other than the originals". How many artists and writers self-inserted themselves as characters to give extra help to the SWATKats? *raises hand* Though...I'd see myself as one those amatuer camera kats running around with a video camera right under the feet of a gigantic Megasauraus Rex and not care if I get stomped on, just as long as I got something for...whatever would be the Megakat City version of YouTube.

And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't make the Turbokat turn into a mech-robot! I will frikkin' shit bricks and throw my $2000 TV out the window.

...okay, I think I'm done ranting but I'm still conflicted on whether I should I sign or not. I'll settle the screaming fan in myself but will I regret it later? I don't know what I should do *falls to the floor sobbing*

"Dear Rai Pager,

Thank you for entering “Biker Bunny” in the Fall Story Contest. We were grateful for the opportunity to read and consider your work, and we regret that your entry was not one of our winners or finalists this time[...]"

I was sad getting this e-mail but I think I'd would've been even more upset if I got this e-mail next month in the new year.

It's upsetting but it will pass and I'm willing to try again. Hopefully with either another short story or maybe one of my chapters from previous stories.

That's right, YOU heard me! MERRY CHRISTMAS and in Engrish, MERI KURISUMASU n.n

I hope everyone has a safe and happy one!

There was an alien in my closet! And it tried to tentacle-rape me! THEN IT TRIED TO EAT MY WHOLE BOX OF RAMEN!!! I was like "OH HELLNO! D<" And now thanks to my South Carolina Swiss Army Knife, it shall never tentacle rape anyone ever again :D

XD But seriously, any ramen eaters like to add flavors or other ingredients in their ramen? I like chicken ramen and I add an unsalted fried or scrambled eggs and sprinkle it with parsley flakes. I'm trying to find different ways to fix up and eat ramen. What do you put in yours?

As for the alien part, I need help from those into extraterrestrial stuff. And no, I don't mean try to sneak into Area 51 and almost getting yourself killed for proof of aliens. I've got another story (this one that's been on the backburner) that deals with human and alien conflict. Aliens have crashlanded (on purpose, unknown to everyone else) somewhere in Georgia and in five other parts of the world and have kinda sorta blended in the area that's been cutoff from the rest of the world with the survivors who can stand them...but I can't think of WHY they're there. Are they looking for something important that fell to Earth millions of years ago? Are they planning a slow, careful invasion of Earth? Are they taking some sort of natural resource that no longer exists on their planet?...No, they're not their to mate with females to ensure a huge population of their race << Get your head out the gutters, you perverts! I've got everything set for the story BUT the alien's reason for being there; 'tis the only holes. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. *slurps ramen with chopsticks*

Not sure if everyone is familiar with the name, Steven Savage. For those who don't know, he's a writer (author of Fan To Pro: Unlocking Career Insights With Your Hobbies), owner of the generator site "Seventh Sanctum", and professional geek.

He's working on another book called Focused Fandom: Cosplaying, Costuming, and Careers. He's looking for artist and fanartists and cosplayers (maybe in fursuiters) to add illustrations or photo examples and also would like to interview artist and cosplay wearers how it's helped their careers and/or hobbies.

Not talking about on here, on DA.

This troll stole artwork that rightfully belongs to  rukis. It doesn't even know Rukis and tried to get recognition where it doesn't deserve it.

Someone get rid of this fucker before I find out where it lives and I burn down it and its family house.

...I am =3

The 9th's not even here yet and I'm already going through birthday depression, and it's not because I'm getting older (I don't think I'm gonna start panicking about that until I reach 35). Never thought this would happen really. I don't know what happened to turn me into a person who becomes a sobbing mess before her birthday and I wish I could change it.

Thought today would be better because Spike's VGA was supposed to air today on my day off, but they moved it to Saturday for some reason. Only awesome thing that happened that I dreamed that I went to a furcon (not sure which one) and then I went to the U.K. (and I think this happened because of mentions of the K-On! movie that I've never seen). Kinda wished that I didn't wake up...

Tomorrow's nothing special to me anymore. Just someone whose lucky to even be alive because their mother had a change of heart about the abortion...

Next Friday on the 9th...w00t...

Sadly, I'm going to be at work all day next Friday then I work at 6 in the morning after that day so I gotta go to bed early -.- But I shouldn't complain. I'm off on Family Night (the 8th), which is the one of the longest days of the year that I work past 6 pm, so I could consider than an early birthday present. Just wish there was something I could do.

Birthday's haven't been fun since no one came to my 16th birthday. I always wanted to go to Dave and Buster's but the nearest one is 4 hours away and I bet it's expensive...and they do those annoying happy birthday singing and clapping. I SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL PUNCH ALL THE FACES OF ANY RESTAURANT EMPLOYEE WHO DOES THAT AROUND ME...I will take the cake slice but NO SINGING! *eye twitch*

I think I'll go to Hot Topic. I'm running out of clothes....seriously, if I'm off from work and don't plan to walk out, I'm just in panties and a T-shirt that's 2-3 times bigger than I am. Or maybe GameStop. I dunno. I'll find something to pull me out of the birthday dumps somehow.

I WOULD BE A BIRD! *flaps around, squawking loudly and feathers flying everywhere*

Saw the Neverland commercial. If you go to their site, type in your name, city, and age, it gives you your Neverland name and a small back story.

I used my real name. I'd be one of the Indian folk under the name, "Dove Oak; People of the Raven"

Backstory:
"Laina B was hiking on a trail just outside of <put town name here>. Laina saw what looked like a mirror flashing on the trail just ahead. When Laina reached the shiny object it turned out to be an orb perched on a rock, glowing mysteriously! As Laina bent closer the orb tumbled from the rock, and a bright flash and a clang disoriented Laina. The following moment, Laina was marching at the end of a line of people decorated in paint, leaves and feathers through the woods of Neverland. Dove Oak joined the People of the Raven on their quest to conquer the giant crocodile and feed their people."

And as Rai, I'm a PIRATE (Which I find funny since she's an Internet pirate in the SWAT Kats universe X3) named...*snickers* "Handsome Rai Slimefester"

Backstory:

Rai Pager was a street musician playing in the center of Megakat City. A child wandered over and knocked over the table holding Rai's tips. As the table fell to the ground Rai glimpsed a pulsating orb falling amidst the change. With a flash, in the next moment Rai was swimming up to the surface in the ocean in Neverland. A ship of pirates hauled Rai on board and so the life of Handsome Rai Slimefester switched from songs to sea shanties on the seas of Neverland!

I'm a big fan of Peter Pan stories, not so crazy on other related movies like "Hook" and "Finding Neverland". But it wasn't for that story, I might not be a furry! *shudders* Scary thought..

If you want to give this a try, go here --> http://www.syfy.com/enterneverland

The reason I'm shaky is because I barely made it. The deadline was November 30th which, right now, about 2-3 hours away. I'm such a procrastinator; I heard about the contest sometime before Halloween and I just got done with it. I seem to get stuff done right before a deadline AND I HATE THAT! You can tell when I'm late doing something because I'll be all wide-eyed like I saw a real life furry walk past me or I'll be sweating like my water broke!

But it's all done; wrote it, spell checked it, edited it, double edited, triple edited, added copyrights, and sent that thing in to Narrative. Now comes the HARDEST part after entering a contest; the waiting. Right now, even though I worked hard on it and made sure that there were no errors or run-on sentences <---my worst enemy in writing), the judges could look at it and think it's not worth spit to read. Whether I lose or win, I feel pretty good. This is the first writing contest I ever entered and, who knows, I might attract some attention up there in Narrative.

As for the story, *shudders* it's a love story; something I'm not good with so if you read it and it sucks, that's why. It's about a bunny named Lonny who was raised within a biker family called the "Roarin' Wheelers". Lonny falls head over for a 'Blueblood' named Jason Ouran (red squirrel). There's just one problem: Jason is arranged to be married to pampered Princess Winnie Underroot (both she and her mother, Fannie, are gophers). The story takes place at what would be the last chapter. Lonny is in jail for invading the temporary royal mansion to see Jason one last time. Her family bust her out of jail and after that...lemme just say this, all hell breaks lose.

Two awesome points of the story [In my opinion]: Lonny drives through a large van, that's the size of a big rig, on her motorcycle. Not over, not under, not around. Through it, dammit! How many stories have you read where someone on a motorcycle does that AND survives?!...in fiction (not counting movies), not real life. And she also drives up a wedding cake, that's 300 meters tall =3

I will post it up as soon as I can. Just gonna add one more tid-bit that I wasn't able to add in time for the contest.

Now how to end this?....hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you didn't eat too much turkey. And Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and/or Happy Kwanzaa. And for those that bitch about the holidays (not talking about family drama or being broke, I mean actually bitch about the holiday because it exist), go bitch to someone who'll actually listen to you.

[has been edited]

Dunno if anyone is still following or interested but I got chapter 3 of Hunted by Prey finally up after almost...what, a year? In actuality it doesn't seem that long to me, the time it took to write it I mean.

Not a whole lot of action again, just a lot of explaining of what could be possibly going and the probable person of whose behind all this. I really did enjoy writing the lions "hunting lessons", if you wanna call that. Preferably I think it's the rich furries way of hunting. I think most would wanna do it the old fashion way: crouch down in grass, wait there for hours, then pounce on anything walking by that looks edible.

Can't think of a name, or don't know if I wanna name, of what to call the furs in this story. The characters call them "giant animals" or "monster animals".

Anyways, enjoy. Oh, also I'm searching for trustworthy beta-readers who like to read and not afraid to say what's wrong with the chapter/story. And if anyone knows how to make the story thumbnails non-blurry like writer Rahne's (Rahne's page. WATCH HIM D< http://www.furaffinity.net/user/rahne/ ) or where I can find an artist to do a height comparison sheet for the characters of this story, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I'll be safe...but not happy. Stuck under this roof, 'Halloween is the devil' so no costumes, no "trick or treat!", on parties, just sit at home or force me to go to church.

I didn't want my nieces and nephews to lose that part of their childhood like I did so I used to buy big assorted bags of candy and hide it (my nieces and nephews are snoops >>) Then on Halloween, I dump the candy in three big bowls, order pizza, and we just watch horror movies on DVD or on any channel that was having a Halloween horror movie marathon. My nieces and nephews are 'grown' now so I just the pizza, candy, horror movies to myself.

What's everyone else doing for Halloween?

Hey all,

I'm kindly asking for birthday donations to get a Acer Aspire Laptop I've been eying on Newegg.


If you would like to make a donation, please send it to my Paypal account: lainabrisco@yahoo.com.

Thank you!

To any readers who started reading my "Hunted by Prey" story:

The next chapter is on the way, but it seems I'm having a little difficulty writing it. The setting takes place outside in this colossal wooded area that seems to go on forever and there are more regions that aren't just woods. The hardest part is describing the scenery. I'm not an outdoorsy person, like a camper or hiker, and I haven't exactly been to see the Grand Canyon or been to Yellowstone National Park or Jedediah Smith Redwoods Park. To me, trying to describe a tall, almost unreachable plateau cave or some other natural landscape or structure is like trying to take advanced trigonometry, and I never took it in my life.

Other people tell me to write what I "see", but it's not always that easy. I'm trying to break through this wall. Just be patient.

Friends, both on DA and FA, have been catching bugs, from cold to flu to the stomach virus, and I think touching these journals have gotten me sick. Well, actually I think I did this to myself. During that wonderful moment that happens to me and every woman once a month, I take 3 Tylenol (Screw Midol/Pamprin and Advil doesn't work -.-) and my body tells me I'm overdoing it by making me feel puny, nauseous/puking, and just making me feel lousy. Can't keep anything down right now. Just hoping this passes over quickly ><

I went to the doctor today to see about a rash I had going up my right arm. Turns out I had a Staph infection. Didn't know how serious it was until I told my parents; they looked at me as if I was wearing a fursuit or something. I thought it was something that would go away with antibacterial soap and water and medicine and ointments. Far as I know, it's not too serious. Doc gave me a shot and meds and told me when to take them and where to put the creams and stuff. I'll be alright.

I usually DON'T do memes but this kinda explains why I get along/hang around guys more than girls and why I love to do guy things.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah...I think like a dude 60% of the time and think like a girl 40% of a time. And my girl conscience in me would find this sexist (playing DS/owning XBox, awesome gory movies under the Boy Side and Skirts and Shopping under Girl Side), but then my guy conscience bitchslapped her and told her to shut the fuck up and go back in the kitchen.

I dunno if this commercial is showing everywhere or just on Disney channel (...unfortunately for me, all TVs but mine are on Disney because of my nieces and nephews being here almost 24/7), but the Lion King is coming to theaters again on September 16 but this time...in 3D! :o

I'm straight and I have a lot of friends who are gay/lesbian or bi. I was brought up to believe that these kinda people were 'inferior' to me, but I thought just like what I posted below. For those of you who were brought up like me but don't think like me, please read below

--

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the Realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13.

People call another Guy fat, No one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight .

People call an old man ugly, No one knew he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it

NEVER judge someone that you THINK you know about because, in reality, we have no right to.

It came out in March and I know some gamers who probably beat it sometime within or after that month and don't want anything more to do with it until the next Pokemon game comes out. Unfortunately, I don't make enough money as every gamer does and I'm usually stuck with the previous game for a year or two until I saved up enough to get it. So if anyone still plays Pokemon Black/White and/or Pokemon Platinum, send me a note and I'll give you my Friend Code. n.n

Friend need monies! YOU MAKE HIM COLOR FOR YOU NAO! D<

Saw this on another friend's journal. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2397916/
Everyone read it, spread the word on your journals, and be on the look out.

This is a really awesome and cool artist and a good friend to my good friend,  kooshmeister and she's having some financial problems. I don't know the whole detail, but she could really could use some dough. I don't think she has an FA page but here's the link to her DA page: http://averrainkheart.deviantart.com/
