Eeets Aliiiiiivvvvveeee...
Posted 15 years ago... well sorta. Found my pen at least but I haven't drawn anything in months, I suppose that should bother me but it doesn't I've always gone through long dry spells as far as drawing and writing both. Usually one suffers when the other flourishes and I think that might be it this time since I've become an Admin on a forum play by post RPG. And no I'm not sharing the link - it's not furry for a start and for another you people are scary. :P
anyway will probably draw something soon, actually, well I am drawing a few things but having trouble keeping focused. Maybe if I get all the OMG another Pokemon game squealing out of my system I'll be able to focus better...
On that note, it you don't like what you've seen of Pokemon Black and White so far, you know who you are, I just want to let you know beforehand that I. DON'T. CARE.
Everytime they put out a knew Pokemon fans bitch and whine "it's nothing like the original, the first one was good this sucks" And then they go out and buy it anyway, presumably to try and prove how much it sucks, thereby continuing the franchise that they spent the month before release bitching about.
SHUT UP! If you don't like super don't buy it, if you do like it super go stand in line preorder and do all that other crazy fanish stuff.
I personally think the new pokemon are adorable and the style looks almost like a return to the simplistic shapes of earlier generations but spiced up with new super duper 3D graphics. I intend to buy at least one version and possibly both (because I don't like the White mascot xD).
Thank you, and hopefully see everyone soon.
P.S. AT&T are run by retarded zombie plumbers or something, they just suck. They fucked up the internet then pretended to fix it but didn't really and now the only place I can get online is at McDonalds or the library. Fuck you AT&T, fuck you up the ass.

Noooo
Posted 16 years agoSpent the latter part of September and most of October packing and moving and unpacking, and bitching about unpacking, and trying to get more furniture so I could finish unpacking. Also some crochet.
But my tablet pen is now missing so I can't draw on my comp except maybe with a crappy mouse or touch pad both of which I loathe. So I'm slacking phenomenally .
Also...
My cars transmission is made of POOP! >_<

PCA character meme
Posted 16 years agoI didn't have 10 characters so I snatched a few from
kaemantis,
asuraludu,
juubi,
sparkynekomi, Daffodil is a mankey version of my fursona I only made her because of a little joke Juubi and I have going about monkeys and biting and what not.
DA RULES
1. Randomly pick 10 of your PCA characters, and assign each of them a number.
2. If you don't have ten characters, steal some from your buddies. Do it, NOW!
3. NO CHEATING!! Pick them around randomly; don't scout out the questions first so you know who's going to end up doing what. RANDOM IS FUN!!
I pick:
1: Chelsea
2: Santiago Maskelyn
3: Daffodil
4: Tekelly Lee
5: Aritime Phelps
6: Mugon
7: Charles Mackinney
8: Ferny
9: Dreamweaver Hipnough
10: James
1) 4 invites 3 and 8 to dinner at their house. What happens?
It would all start out nice enough but with Ferny and Dilly in the same room together it would quickly degenerate into a food fight. Kelly would probably end up hiding under the table.
2) 9 tries to get 5 to go to a strip club. What then?
Okay first off it would probably be Arty trying to get Weaver to go to the strip club, and the poor luvdisc would get his fishy butt kicked all the way back hme.
3) You need to stay at a friends house for the night. Do you chose 1 or 6?
Chelsea without question. she might not like having her evening interuppted but courtesy is instinctive to the chansey, plus I'd be well fed.
4) 2 and 7 are making out. 10 walks in...Their reaction?
James would have to be hauled off to the wacko basket and locked away for his own safety.
5) 3 falls in love with 6. 8 is jealous. What happens?
Both Daffodil and Ferny would end up at the hospital, both claiming to have won. Mugon would probably be amused secretly but seriously he probably wouldn't be interested in either one of the fighters, he's pretty self contained.
6) 4 jumps you in a dark alleyway. Who comes to your rescue? 2, 7 or 10?
Santiago would have been the one to put Kelly up to it, Chuck would come to my rescue and James would be pointing and laughing.
7) 1 decides to start a cooking show. 15 minutes later what is happening?
"And that's how you make a tasty and nutritious PB and bean sprout sandwich. And excellent way to get the glutton in your life to eat some veggies. Next we'll discuss delicious desserts, you won't believe how healthy they are!"
8) 5 is in a car crash and is critically injured. What does 9 do?
Unless it was her fault somehow I can't see Weaver being overly concerned.
9) 3 has to marry either 4, 8 or 9. Who do they chose?
Ferny, Dilly considers violence to be foreplay.
10) 7 kidnaps 2 and demands something from 5 for 2's release. What is it?
"Stop setting me up with fat chicks man! I don't care what you heard I do not like big butts!!!"
11) You get to meet either 1 or 6. Who do you chose?
Well 1 would be safer, but I always wanted to pick a sociopaths brain.
12) 10 challenges 4 to a chariot race. Why?
James probably made a bet with her that if he won Kelly would go on a date with him, and then he would make sure and rigg the race.
13) Everyone gangs up on 3. Does 3 have a chance in hell?
Their karate is no match for her kung-fu... the biggest obstacles would be Chuck and Weaver, and Chuck is slow.
14) Everyone is invited to 2 and 10's wedding except for 8. How does he/she react?
First off if that happens the fabric of time and space would tear apart issuing in the apocalypse. And secondly ferny would just crash the reception, who cares about the ceremony anyway.
15) Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because if he wanted to Charles could crush Mugon by sitting on him.
16) 10 gathers everyone around to tell them a fairy tale. How does it go?
"A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away..."
17) 1 arives late for 2 and 10's wedding. What happens? And why are they late?
She probably couldn't believe the invitations and was in denial up until the day of the wedding, and then had to fight her way through hordes of interdimensional monsters to get a last minute gift.
18) 5 and 8 get roaring drunk and end up at your house. What happens?
Arty would be trying to get me to play strip poker and when I refused would probably start to strip anayway... Ferny would fall over near my curtains and burn half the house down.
19) 3, 4, 6 and 8 all go to the zoo for 8's brithday party. How does it go? What presents do they get 8?
Mugon would want to be near the luxrays at feeding time. Dilly would keep trying to give Ferny a b-day spanking and generally making a nuisance of herself... it would end up being fun for all anyway because KElly would keep everyone amused by turning into things.
20) Everyone gets together and start protesting something outside of your house. What are they protesting? What do you do?
Hell if I know they're all talking at the same time and I can't make heads or tails of it.
21) 9 murders 2 best friend. What does 2 do to get back at them?
Kill Ishtar of course and then retreat into the ghost realm to mourn for the rest of eternity.
22) 6 and 1 are in mortal danger. Only one of them can survive. Who does?
Mugon, he's a tough little SOB, plus the crazies always live.
23) Which one of them is most likely to fail at life?
Mugon I think, he survives but he's too messed up in the head to be really successful.
24) 5 is trapped in a cave. 10 comes to rescue them. What happens?
Rescuing isn't James' thing, however if Kelly asked him he'd go, bitching all the way there and back of course.
25) 3 starts a day camp. What happens?
She would quickly be shut down for hog tying the kids if they misbehave... but the childrens would raise so much of a fuss, because Dilly is fun, that the parents would drop all charges and everything would proceed as usual from there on.
26) 4,6, and 7 are doing the Maccarena. 8 walks in. What happens?
Ferny would join in of course, because he wants to be the life of the party.
27) 1 starts to write a fan-fiction where 9 and 10 are going out. What is 2's reaction?
He would just shudder and walk out after finding out, then under the cover of darkness would return and destroy all traces of the blasphemous, and mentally scarring, writing.
28) 7 makes an apple pie. Is it any good?
No, but Charles will eat anything that sits still so it's all good.
29) 8 and 3 go camping. For some reason they forget to bring any food. What do they do?
*Laughs maniacally* WE shall see.
30) While they are camping, they run into The Blair Witch. What do they do? (If you haven't seen that movie pretend they ran into the Bogyman or something like that instead.)
Ferny & Dilly: "We aint afraid of no ghosts!" Proceed to whoop boogeymans sorry butt.
31) The quiz is over. What does everyone go to do now?
1- Runs off to start planning a cooking show.
2- Lurks in Kellys general vicinity.
3- Starts poking Ferny with her toe.
4- Would follow Chelsea because she forgot her key, plus Chell has snacks.
5- Needs to go do his radio show now.
6- Is staring at you oddly.
7- Follows Chelsea in hopes of food.
8- Is trying to keep his cool in front of Mugon, but really wants to roast Dilly.
9- Is bored and goes off to be sullen somewhere else.
10- Follows Sans to make sure he doesn't make a move on Tekelly.

Ya Know What Grinds my Gears?
Posted 16 years agoThis post was triggered by some idiots in our state council trying to push through BSL, and still others blocking anti BSL legislation. As well as several blogs that popped up 1-2-3 as soon as I searched pit bull. I do not at this time own a Pitty, mores the pity, because I don't have time to spend satisfying their large need for exersise, nor in adequately socializing them. In fact I don't have any dogs for those two reasons. So I'm sorry if it seems off topic or whatever, but I had to get this out of my system, as both blogs allow posting only for members. And I may be annoyed but I'm not petty enough to join solely to bitch at people.
_____________________________________________________
A number of people have tried to say that toy dogs can not kill a person... or seriously injure them. Really? What about children or infants? In 2007 a couple left their 3 week old son in the care of a relative along with their pet pomeranian. The pomeranian got into where the child was sleeping and viciously attacked it biting it's head repeatedly the relative rushed in at the childs screams and then rushed the infant to the emergency room where it later died! Odds are the little dog was either feeling jealous (quite common for poms), or... I dunno disliked the smell or something.
When I was growing up a neighbor across the way had two dogs, a female pitbull, and a male dachshund, everyone in the neighborhood knew both dogs and knew that Beau was a dangerous and unprovoked biter. But Beau was the owners baby dog, one night they let him off leash to play and the dog made a beeline three houses down where a child was playing and attacked... Beau was a dachshund, the child was 4. I happened to be outside watching and Beau lunged not at the ankles or hands he was aiming for the childs throat, fortunately the kid noticed and held out an arm to try and fend the dog off. Beau then grabbed ahold and started mauling the toddlers arm, if his father hadn't rushed out and kicked the Dachshund across the street the kid would've lost his arm.
And what did the owners say? "He's just a poor defenseless little dog were gonna sue you if he dies!"
The child was rushed to the hospital, and I never say him playing outside again... he lived don't get me wrong but he would run straight from the house to the car and back again.
And don't even get me started on ChowChows, several people have mentioned them as though they were incapable of harming a person, but those dogs were originally bred to act as guard dogs... which means that, unlike pit bulls, their original purpose was to attack people! I personally have been attacked by 2 different chows on two seperate occasions... it's hard when something like that happens to blame the dog, but with the clearness that only comes with hindsight I can see that both attacks were triggered by other people near me making the dog nervous so that it struck at the closest object. In one the dogs tail was stepped on by the owner, in the other a kid poked it with a stick. Spitzes (especially Chows) still make me nervous, but I can recognize that both cases it was a human problem not a dog one.
Some of the meanest dogs I ever met were spaniels, for the idiots who keep naming them as harmlessly nice. And it is those stupid mean spirited spaniels that help me make my last point, the breeding of the parents does affect the offspring. Yes I'm agreeing with the bullie haters on that point,
BUT
If three generations of bad breeding can make an agressive spaniel, or dalmation, or poodle... all dogs with originally wonderful temperaments... then three generations of good breeding can make a difference in any line of dogs with poor temperaments.
This isn't speculation on my part either it has already happened in several breeds, and is in the process of happening in several others.
English Bulldogs - were originally bred for the same intent as the bully types, but a dedicated group of fanciers started breeding the Bulldogs with mellower temperaments and now they are sweet and affectionate family pets. And they beat out Labs as the most popular dog breed last year.
Boxers - Were bred as rough tough guard dogs, who would attack any intruders. But now days if you ask any dog expert to name the 5 best dog breeds for children the rowdy and fun loving Boxer will be in the top 3.
MinPins - Were bred down from the ruthless and driven German Pinscher, to make a companion and ratter. They are now one of the most popular small dogs around.
English Bull Terriers - The funny dog with the roman nose in all those target commercials. Still have some issues with dog aggression particularly towards the same gender, but they make excellent and tolerant family companions, with temperaments like a more energetic version of the Old English Bulldog.
Doberman Pinschers - Were once the #1 most feared dog in america, they were considered dangerous and unpredictable back in the day when the PitBull was the most popular pet in america. Now Dobies are shaking off the bad rep, and the bad attitude, thanks to careful breeding by Dobie fanciers.
Apparently the Doberman pinned his rap on the Pitbull as his final criminal act.
ChowChows - Yes I know I just said they were more dangerous than pitbulls, but it's not fair of me to let my own prejudice to get in the way of the truth. The temperament of the Chow has improved by leaps and bounds (even as the health of the breed deteriorates). While this medium sized guard dog is still suspicious of strangers they are no longer the feircly agressive bears I knew growing up in the early 90's. 10 years has turned them into a regal and aloof, but tolerant companion.
Jack Russel/Parson Russel/or-whatever-the-fad-is-today Terrier - Okay so this ones a fraud Jacks haven't really changed. Their still nippy, hyperactive, dominant, little overachievers but everyone loves 'em anyway.
Now the dog breeds that have gone in the opposite direction growing more aggressive as time passes.
Poodles- Seriously who doen't know at least one vicious poodle?
Spaniels - Once the epitome of gentle loyalty, have become unpredictable or timid at best, and snappish unsociable fiends at worst.
Dalmatians - This breeds loyalty and courage was sacrificed on the alter of fashion after 101 Dalmatians came out. Now they are nervous, snappy bundles of raw energy... I find they've become overly typey as well. Having lost the sturdiness they display in old photographs.
Dachshunds - I already explained why, and I could name several other examples of bad Doxie behavior. Unfortunately as with most little dogs they're so cute the owner ignore all signs of agression.
German Shepherds - GSDs are the #1 bite risk in the US... in most cases when the temperament of a dog breed worsens it's because of bad breeding but in the Shepherds case it's because of good breeding. What? No it's true! In order to make dogs that can function well in police work, military service and as personal protection dogs breeders select dogs with trait like fearlessness, and prey drive, high energy levels, focus, and dominant personalities. Now let's think what happens if a dog who fears nothing has lots of energy and lots of focus is also dominant and sees a person fleeing? Well their prey drive kicks in and suddenly the world is minus one jogger.
Golden Retreivers - You heard me right folks, everyones favorite dog has a temperament that is steadily worsening, there have been an sharp increase in the number of Golden bites in the past 5 years. Personally I beleive it's because people who should never own or breed this dog are doing both, they take a lot of time and energy. And being a naturally mouthy breed anyway have become unfortunately prone to biting down.
PitBull (Type)- Back from the turn of the century up till the early 1990's Pit Bulls were regarded as one of the most loyal, patient and affectionate family dogs. They featured in TV shows, served honorably in the military and for police (they still do), and were in fact considered the national dog of the USA. Exemplifying our courage and sense of honor, as well as our determination to never give up. Practically everyone had a Pit Bull, or an American Bull dog, or an American Stadfordshire Bull Terrier, Or an English Bully (at the time they looked just like a Pitty). In the US these were Nanny dogs and almost never fought in the ring. But as drug trafficiing and crime increased in the 80's and 90's PitBull types began to be used by less than savoury people. Criminals took advantage of their intense loyalty and desire to please, and used them to guard their drugs, they also rediscovered the blood sport of dog fighting, and used the dogs in fighting rings to make extra dough. Or to flaunt their own toughness.
As the majority of Pit Bull breeders became criminals the temperament of the dogs began to suffer... although when compared to that of the other fallen breeds they have still shown a remarkable resiliency in holding onto their key traits...
Pit Bulls are still Couragous, Loyal (sadly <b>too</b> loyal), Determined, and with a high pain tolerance. Pit bulls are also attentive to their owners emotions and insanely eager to please, they would jump off a cliff if they though it would bring their master joy. They PitBull may have fallen but no breed is without hope of redemption.
You can ban pit bulls... but it won't solve the problem. In fact it will make it worse since the only people who will own them will be criminals, so the quality of the breed will continue to deteriorate until they really are as vicious as the reports make them out to be.
And here's the thing, if you ban pit bulls because of who owns them, it won't stop the same people from owning them and will also punish many innocent people and dogs. And laws are meant to protect the innocent not to punish them! People who raise their dogs right and worked hard to make sure they were good citizens... and dogs who still hold true the spirit of their forefathers like Seargant Stubby- The Most decorated military dog in US history. You would be destroying a part of the heritage of the US, and any time you do that the nation is weaker for it.
And what kind of message are you sending to the children?
"Sorry but we're too lazy to fix this problem, and too selfish to take responsibility for our actions, so were just going to kill some innocent dogs. There are plenty of other breeds so it's not like anyone will miss them."
There is no such thing as a "bad breed" only "bad breeders"...
Just like there is no such thing as an inately bad dog, only incompetent owners.
Anyone who says otherwise is a fool!
There I'm done now, and I'm sorry to rant, but prejudice of any sort really pushes my buttons!
_____________________________________________________
A number of people have tried to say that toy dogs can not kill a person... or seriously injure them. Really? What about children or infants? In 2007 a couple left their 3 week old son in the care of a relative along with their pet pomeranian. The pomeranian got into where the child was sleeping and viciously attacked it biting it's head repeatedly the relative rushed in at the childs screams and then rushed the infant to the emergency room where it later died! Odds are the little dog was either feeling jealous (quite common for poms), or... I dunno disliked the smell or something.
When I was growing up a neighbor across the way had two dogs, a female pitbull, and a male dachshund, everyone in the neighborhood knew both dogs and knew that Beau was a dangerous and unprovoked biter. But Beau was the owners baby dog, one night they let him off leash to play and the dog made a beeline three houses down where a child was playing and attacked... Beau was a dachshund, the child was 4. I happened to be outside watching and Beau lunged not at the ankles or hands he was aiming for the childs throat, fortunately the kid noticed and held out an arm to try and fend the dog off. Beau then grabbed ahold and started mauling the toddlers arm, if his father hadn't rushed out and kicked the Dachshund across the street the kid would've lost his arm.
And what did the owners say? "He's just a poor defenseless little dog were gonna sue you if he dies!"
The child was rushed to the hospital, and I never say him playing outside again... he lived don't get me wrong but he would run straight from the house to the car and back again.
And don't even get me started on ChowChows, several people have mentioned them as though they were incapable of harming a person, but those dogs were originally bred to act as guard dogs... which means that, unlike pit bulls, their original purpose was to attack people! I personally have been attacked by 2 different chows on two seperate occasions... it's hard when something like that happens to blame the dog, but with the clearness that only comes with hindsight I can see that both attacks were triggered by other people near me making the dog nervous so that it struck at the closest object. In one the dogs tail was stepped on by the owner, in the other a kid poked it with a stick. Spitzes (especially Chows) still make me nervous, but I can recognize that both cases it was a human problem not a dog one.
Some of the meanest dogs I ever met were spaniels, for the idiots who keep naming them as harmlessly nice. And it is those stupid mean spirited spaniels that help me make my last point, the breeding of the parents does affect the offspring. Yes I'm agreeing with the bullie haters on that point,
BUT
If three generations of bad breeding can make an agressive spaniel, or dalmation, or poodle... all dogs with originally wonderful temperaments... then three generations of good breeding can make a difference in any line of dogs with poor temperaments.
This isn't speculation on my part either it has already happened in several breeds, and is in the process of happening in several others.
English Bulldogs - were originally bred for the same intent as the bully types, but a dedicated group of fanciers started breeding the Bulldogs with mellower temperaments and now they are sweet and affectionate family pets. And they beat out Labs as the most popular dog breed last year.
Boxers - Were bred as rough tough guard dogs, who would attack any intruders. But now days if you ask any dog expert to name the 5 best dog breeds for children the rowdy and fun loving Boxer will be in the top 3.
MinPins - Were bred down from the ruthless and driven German Pinscher, to make a companion and ratter. They are now one of the most popular small dogs around.
English Bull Terriers - The funny dog with the roman nose in all those target commercials. Still have some issues with dog aggression particularly towards the same gender, but they make excellent and tolerant family companions, with temperaments like a more energetic version of the Old English Bulldog.
Doberman Pinschers - Were once the #1 most feared dog in america, they were considered dangerous and unpredictable back in the day when the PitBull was the most popular pet in america. Now Dobies are shaking off the bad rep, and the bad attitude, thanks to careful breeding by Dobie fanciers.
Apparently the Doberman pinned his rap on the Pitbull as his final criminal act.
ChowChows - Yes I know I just said they were more dangerous than pitbulls, but it's not fair of me to let my own prejudice to get in the way of the truth. The temperament of the Chow has improved by leaps and bounds (even as the health of the breed deteriorates). While this medium sized guard dog is still suspicious of strangers they are no longer the feircly agressive bears I knew growing up in the early 90's. 10 years has turned them into a regal and aloof, but tolerant companion.
Jack Russel/Parson Russel/or-whatever-the-fad-is-today Terrier - Okay so this ones a fraud Jacks haven't really changed. Their still nippy, hyperactive, dominant, little overachievers but everyone loves 'em anyway.
Now the dog breeds that have gone in the opposite direction growing more aggressive as time passes.
Poodles- Seriously who doen't know at least one vicious poodle?
Spaniels - Once the epitome of gentle loyalty, have become unpredictable or timid at best, and snappish unsociable fiends at worst.
Dalmatians - This breeds loyalty and courage was sacrificed on the alter of fashion after 101 Dalmatians came out. Now they are nervous, snappy bundles of raw energy... I find they've become overly typey as well. Having lost the sturdiness they display in old photographs.
Dachshunds - I already explained why, and I could name several other examples of bad Doxie behavior. Unfortunately as with most little dogs they're so cute the owner ignore all signs of agression.
German Shepherds - GSDs are the #1 bite risk in the US... in most cases when the temperament of a dog breed worsens it's because of bad breeding but in the Shepherds case it's because of good breeding. What? No it's true! In order to make dogs that can function well in police work, military service and as personal protection dogs breeders select dogs with trait like fearlessness, and prey drive, high energy levels, focus, and dominant personalities. Now let's think what happens if a dog who fears nothing has lots of energy and lots of focus is also dominant and sees a person fleeing? Well their prey drive kicks in and suddenly the world is minus one jogger.
Golden Retreivers - You heard me right folks, everyones favorite dog has a temperament that is steadily worsening, there have been an sharp increase in the number of Golden bites in the past 5 years. Personally I beleive it's because people who should never own or breed this dog are doing both, they take a lot of time and energy. And being a naturally mouthy breed anyway have become unfortunately prone to biting down.
PitBull (Type)- Back from the turn of the century up till the early 1990's Pit Bulls were regarded as one of the most loyal, patient and affectionate family dogs. They featured in TV shows, served honorably in the military and for police (they still do), and were in fact considered the national dog of the USA. Exemplifying our courage and sense of honor, as well as our determination to never give up. Practically everyone had a Pit Bull, or an American Bull dog, or an American Stadfordshire Bull Terrier, Or an English Bully (at the time they looked just like a Pitty). In the US these were Nanny dogs and almost never fought in the ring. But as drug trafficiing and crime increased in the 80's and 90's PitBull types began to be used by less than savoury people. Criminals took advantage of their intense loyalty and desire to please, and used them to guard their drugs, they also rediscovered the blood sport of dog fighting, and used the dogs in fighting rings to make extra dough. Or to flaunt their own toughness.
As the majority of Pit Bull breeders became criminals the temperament of the dogs began to suffer... although when compared to that of the other fallen breeds they have still shown a remarkable resiliency in holding onto their key traits...
Pit Bulls are still Couragous, Loyal (sadly <b>too</b> loyal), Determined, and with a high pain tolerance. Pit bulls are also attentive to their owners emotions and insanely eager to please, they would jump off a cliff if they though it would bring their master joy. They PitBull may have fallen but no breed is without hope of redemption.
You can ban pit bulls... but it won't solve the problem. In fact it will make it worse since the only people who will own them will be criminals, so the quality of the breed will continue to deteriorate until they really are as vicious as the reports make them out to be.
And here's the thing, if you ban pit bulls because of who owns them, it won't stop the same people from owning them and will also punish many innocent people and dogs. And laws are meant to protect the innocent not to punish them! People who raise their dogs right and worked hard to make sure they were good citizens... and dogs who still hold true the spirit of their forefathers like Seargant Stubby- The Most decorated military dog in US history. You would be destroying a part of the heritage of the US, and any time you do that the nation is weaker for it.
And what kind of message are you sending to the children?
"Sorry but we're too lazy to fix this problem, and too selfish to take responsibility for our actions, so were just going to kill some innocent dogs. There are plenty of other breeds so it's not like anyone will miss them."
There is no such thing as a "bad breed" only "bad breeders"...

The Y2K Ruined my Childhood
Posted 16 years agoTaken from here >> http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/691209/
I got every fricking one of these, and am now the official Poster child for the 90's.
I even added two that Lintu or whoever made this forgot.
#1 Candy Cigarettes - which I never see any more because ciggys are baaaaaad.
#2 Furbys - Shortest fad ever, there were like what, 2 weeks in '98/'99 when you had to have one or else you were a loser.
Ooh thought of another one
#3 Lucas - The revolting, yet oddly addictive candy. I swear they must have been lacing that stuff with crack, I hated it but I kept on eating.
Wow if I keep adding stuff that were left out of this it will take over FA, who else remembers "March for Jesus"? C'mon show of hands now! Out with it all you closet Christians!
Well I remember it, because my step-dad was an organizer for the Austin March for Jesus almost every single year, and I liked it cause it gave me an excuse to sing loudly in public and prance around waving a sparkly ribbon. Plus there was always a lot of glitter and confetti involved for some reason.

OntheSubjectoftheUnrhymedColor(Henceforth called Oraange)
Posted 16 years agoWow I have gotten really off track on this color series thing, but as I've mentioned before (I think) I have the atention span of a gnat. The main thing that's bogged me down, is the color orange. Not because I couldn't find anyone for it, but because it seems like every artist I like has at least one character that is orange or would look good in a n orange pic. And I can't seem to be able to draw any of them so ya know what as usual when I can't win at something I'm changing the rules!
SurfRat is now orange and I'll more on to red this week and just post a few links to the artists that I considered for the unrhymed color.
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/louvelex/ << worship her mad real media skilz!
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/blotch/ << 3 for orange!
