I'm back from FurJAM, and it was fantastic! Wonderful to catch up with so many of you lovely fuzzies.

A big thanks to all the staff and volunteers - every year you outdo yourselves. A fantastic and flawless event.

Now back to reality…

Hi everyone,

I've recently noticed an increase in my commissions being used by other people without my permission (e.g. as avatars on FA, IB, Skype, F-List, etc).

I was hoping you could all do me a favour and let me know if you come across this anywhere? I'd really appreciate it, as it's something I'd like to stamp out.

Thanks.

Just wanted to put it out there that if anyone is in want of someone to proof, edit, or revise their work, I am happy to do so. I have some experience in this field, as well as being a stickler for some of the finer points of spelling and grammar.
I am also able to assist with the translation of comics and alike into English.

If anyone is interested in these services, please let me know. And feel free to pass this information on to anyone else you think may be interested.

Just looking for some input.

Some time ago, I commissioned a piece from an artist here. However after submitting payment, I have never received any progress updates or even word on a queue or ETA. Any attempt to contact them is ignored.

Any advice on what I should do?

:(

Thought I'd try something slightly different, and see if anyone reads this and is currently looking to take on a commission.

If so, please note/tweet/skype/whatever me! I might well be interested in getting a piece or two :)

People who change their icon to I'VE MOVED and make new accounts. Especially with near-identical names.

while having sex, screwed up their face, opened their mouth wide, and stuck their tongue out as far as it can go? Really?
So why do artists draw that all the time? It looks so gross! x_x

Just FYI, everyone…

You don't have to note or email me asking about adding me on Skype/Twitter/Steam/whatever.
If I weren't okay with having people add me, I wouldn't list them.
So feel free. :)

All these new watchers I suddenly gained after my last submission are going to be rather disappointed. XD

I almost never get adult art! Sorry guys! ^_^;

to season themed banners.

They're only valid for half the Earth. And I know there's less countries and people on the southern half, but still. It just bugs me somewhat that every FA banner is the opposite of what's actually going on for myself and half the world.

Sorry, rant over. We now return you to your regularly scheduled fuzziness.

Well I'm back home, and I'm really touched by all the birthday messages.

Thank you all so much! ❤

So work are sending me off to New Zealand for a few days. How exciting! I rarely get to travel.

I should have a bit of free time too - anyone got suggestions of things to do around Auckland? ^_^

That came around quickly. I'm getting old…

I hope you're having a great day. 😺

I nabbed this meme thing from tallarra and kittysune - it's a cute idea so why not? I have modified it slightly for more suitablilty though.

Step 1: Put your iPod/MP3 player or iTunes on random.

Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first verse of the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.

Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. Those guessing the songs should post in the comments.

Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly and post the title in bold after the stricken song when it is guessed.

Step 5: (for those guessing the songs) If you look up the lyrics on Google or any other search engine, that's called cheating, so don't do it!

1. Robyn - Hang With Me -  chancebandit
Will you tell me once again
How we're gonna be just friends

2. Just leave me in the sand
Just leave me in the water
Don't make me hold your hand
Through the whole boring summer

3. My dad came into my room, holding his hat
I knew he was leaving, he sat on my bed and told me some facts

4. The Beach Boys - California Girls -  Astrocytes
Well East Coast Girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear

5. Coldplay - Yellow -  Astrocytes
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you

6. The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup -  Astrocytes
"I'll be over at ten"
You told me time and again
But you're late
I wait around again

7. The Beatles - She Said She Said -  x_25
She said "I know what it's like to be dead"
"I know what it's like to be sad"
And she's making me feel like I never belonged

8. Starship - Built This City -  BuckleyPuppy
Say you don't know me, or recognise my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place

9. One more step to the top of the city
Where just a couple of pidgeons are living
Up on the angel's shoulders

10. Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds

11. I'm running here
Every focus is splintered
Every attempt he can afford

12. I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out-and-out

13. Elbow - The Birds -  Astrocytes
The birds are the keepers of our secrets
As they saw us where we lay
In the deepest grass of springtime
In a reckless guilty haze

14. Dana Lyons - Cows With Guns -  BuckleyPuppy
Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun

15. Let's take the train to anywhere
I wanna feel the wind in my hair with you
Let's tell them all that soon they'll know
How very wrong they were to think we'd never go

16. Don't know where to begin
Your mistake or our sin
Conscience walks out of here
Never far, always near

17. Ruby my love
You'll be my love
You'll by my sky above

18. Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You -  spinyfur
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much, but cannot say a word
Though we are screming inside, we can't be heard

19. Millionaire say
Got a big deal
And thrown it all away

20. Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin

21. Alanis Morissette - UR -  chancebandit
Burn the books, they've got too many
Names and psychoses
All this incriminating evidence would surely haunt me
If someone broke into my house

22. Roxette - Listen To Your Heart - (IB)ZenithFyr
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes
You built a love, but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark

23. Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man -  x_25
Weep for yourself my man, you'll never be what is in your heart

24. So you're with her, not with me.
I hope she's sweet, and so pretty

25. The Drifters - Under The Boardwalk -  xAndriodx
Oh when the sun beats down and burns the tar upon the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fireproof

26. I got away in the morning light
After staying awake all night
I saw that man standing by the sea
I'm coming back here anyway

27. Faunts - M4 Part II -  chancebandit
I have wondered 'bout you
Where will you be when this is through?
If all, if all goes as planned
Will you redeem my life again?

28. There is a young cowboy who lives on the range
His horse and his saddle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change

29. This is my song
Oh god of all the nations
A song of peace
For lands afar and mine

30. Jenny Morris - You're Gonna Get Hurt -  BuckleyPuppy
Whenever I am feeling this way
Sometimes I find it too hard to speak my mind

- Closed species
- YCH
- Fat Bunny Week

Just thought I'd put this out there.

If anyone who writes is in want of someone to proof, edit or revise their work, I'd be happy to do so.
I have some experience in this area and am a bit of a stickler when it comes to the finer points of spelling and grammar.

So yes, the offer is there. Feel free to pass this on if you think someone may be interested.

Cheers.
