UPDATE:
Our mechanic quoted us $1175 to get the clutch fixed, apparently that's the issue...

Our car stopped shifting!
It's a standard, and it's the only... Well not anymore, but it WAS the only functional vehicle we have...
It just stopped on the freeway, I was able to pull off to the side, and a good Samaritan with a truck and a chain towed me to the exit nearest my home... My mom is coming to get me, but we don't have the money to tow it to our mechanic, or to have him fix it... It was only fixed a few months ago by our land lord whom we bought it from...

I'm desperate! We have all kinds of things we need it for! Like taking or daughter to school in the mornings!

I figure it's either the clutch or the gears themselves... But I have no earthly idea how much it will cost to repair... The toys will be at least $150, but our mechanic has been known to cover that initial cost and add it to our bill in the past...

We're probably looking at close to $900...which is more than we make in a month.

I received a note today from someone.
It was a message with a list of characters for sale...
This was my reply:

Okay sweetie, here's the rub:

I try to be nice and understanding of most everyone. I like to think that I'm a tolerant and level headed lady.
So please understand that I'm not angry with you, a person with whom I've had no previous contact that I'm aware of; someone who doesn't even have me on their watch list, nor are they on mine.

I'm going to give you a bit of advice, a friendly pat on the back of your head. (Like Gibbs gives to McGee in NCIS when he makes a rookie mistake.)

Don't contact people out of the blue and ask them to buy things/characters from you.

It's extremely poor etiquette.
Not only that, but it's a great way to get yourself blocked.
It also taints any further communication with 'Oh, this is that person that wanted me to buy stuff from them without even an introduction first.'
That's not a very good way to make friends.

I did not even look at the characters you are offering, as I suspect most who received this message did not. The reason being:
It's insulting.

Please don't do it again.

By the way, I'm not going to block you for this, maybe there's a lesson for you to learn here. I hope so.

Good luck in your endeavors, just stop sending notes to random people asking them to buy your characters. It's rude.

Sincerely,
Lady Willow


The moral of this story is: Don't ask me to buy your characters.
Don't note people with a list of your characters for sale unless they have specifically ASKED you to.
Bad form

In case anyone gives half a shit.

Just popping in to say 'hi'.

Here's the link to his journal:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7066803/

To help, even though I'm on bed rest, I am offering $1 pencil sketches of one character. Payment to be made directly to him.

Please help if you can.

Indefinitely...
Don't have time to explain, but if has to do with my last journal.

Just a quick update.
I've been stupid busy with life and stuff.
Like falling down the stairs today... Yup.
And having my 6 year old spit in my face repeatedly...
And kick me, and slap me and nearly break my new glasses...
And kicking her little brother in the face...
And getting her enrolled in online school, cuz we're supposed to be moving, and I hate the school she went to last year anyway...

So I'm going to be busy with teaching my daughter, and won't have nearly as much time for anything I want.
Which has been pretty much par for the course through out my life.
What I want doesn't matter. How I'm feeling doesn't matter.
Oh, I'm also still having depression issues that meds are not helping, just exacerbating...
So yeah.
Don't expect anything from me for a looooooooooong while.
I'll be lucky if I can pick up my sketch book in the next month or six...
*cries*

We got two this weekend!
A two month old (possibly) American steal buck, Odo,
And a six month old Californian Doe, Shelley.

I'm very happy with our new acquisitions!
But they keep me even more busy than I already was!

Shelley was badly neglected, her claws had never been clipped and her cage only had the poop removed and newspaper changed...
We'll be getting her some proper pine bedding and giving that cage a hearty scrubbing!
She's terrified of everything. I believe that she'd never been out of her cage as she hid behind the toilet while I was giving her cage it's initial scrub...
Of course that could also be due to the fact that her claws were growing SIDEWAYS they were so long... Must have been painful to walk... Hop, whatever.
I trimmed her claws and she got really cuddly! As if acknowledging that what I did for her. And apologizing for nipping me the day before! LOL poor thing was so scared when I put her on her back to check her gender and clean her vents and clip her claws.
Ugh... People that don't know what they are doing should not get pets...
Odo on the other hand is super playful and FAST! He and Jarvis were chasing each other around the kitchen and living room today. It was so cute!

Any way, that's a minor update on me...
Oh, I also threw my hips out something fierce while moving Shelley's cage about... So yeah... Laying in bed in excruciating pain... Again.

Lady Willow

I get to have surgery on my left foot some time next month. Yaaaaaay...
Apparently, at some point in my life, a good sized chunk of one of the bones in the outside of my ankle broke off and the tendons aren't attached where they're supposed to be.
So, surgery.
And until then, if I'm not in bed or taking a bath, I am to wear my air cast.
But it's good! Because I've probably needed this done for ten or more years, according to the doctor.

Went to the doctor yesterday.
Severe abdominal pain.
Not cramps.
Waiting for test results.
Reminds me of when I had e. coli a few years back...
I'm resting in bed.
Owwwww...

Wish me luck! Never competed in a tournament before! Squeak is also possibly playing if there is an odd number of players, so wish her luck too!
Woo for breaking out of my shell a bit!


This is a species revamp of an older original species of mine.
They've gotten a complete make over, so yeah.
Here they be:

Omnimodus Luminare

-Basic Info-

Body Type:
Omnimodus Luminare (Luminare or Lum [Loom] for short) have the litheand limber body of a jungle cat and the long muscular legs of a Western Dragon.

Luminare have four legs with three toes on their front and hind feet. Each toe has a claw, these can be retractable like a cat or fixed like a dog.

They have at least two horns, but may have more.

Ears can be short or long, stiff or floppy.

Only Air Lum have wings

Their skin is smooth, much like that of a sting ray in texture. It is a very good insulator and helps the Lum withstand extreme temperatures.

The teeth of a Luminare Dragon are retractable. (Like Toothless!)

Eyes:
Eyes can be any color, all primary eyes have star shaped pupils. All secendary/tertiary/etc. eyes have slit pupils, and serve different purposes such as: infrared/night vision/circulatory systems/etc.

Coloring:
Luminare can be any color of the spectrum. Generally their body is a darker color than their markings (if any), but not always.

Fur:
The fur of a Luminare is softer than the softest substance on Earth, but also stronger than the strongest material hitherto discovered by man. It can be any color of the spectrum but is translucent. The skin and other tissues directly beneath the fur of a Luminare is often clear, letting the natural light of each Dragon's bones shine through their prismatic hair. It can be long or short and is bioluminescent (white), but to a much lesser degree than their bones.

Fur Structure:
The fur of a Luminare Dragon is formed of tetartoid dodecahedron crystals. That is: They are twelve-sided and asymmetrical, like that of the stone Cobaltite. They are bonded together at a molecular level into tightly woven, extremely soft strands that are deceptively sharp and dangerous. When caught at the right angle by light, the fur will refract and cast rainbows all around the Luminare.

Markings:
Any pattern is acceptable.

Bones:
The bones of a Luminare are bioluminescent. They can give off anywhere between two and five colors and the pattern on the bones has a swirl effect. If a Luminare is killed, its bones continue to glow. This includes teeth and claws.

Species Behavior:
Luminare Dragons are protective beings, they watch over each other or any member of any species they consider a friend.

They can live together in small or large colonies or they can be rouge and travel by themselves. Some communities are nomadic and others choose a certain climate to call home.

There is no disgrace in being rouge, it is a personal choice and no Luminare Dragon begrudges another of that choice.

Food:
Luminare Dragons feed off of smaller creatures than them. Ravyg are especially delicious to them, and the adore their eggs. But they will pretty much eat anything smaller or slower than they are. It is not unheard of for a small pack of Luminare to take down a creature three times their size.

Gender:
When a Luminare is born, it has no gender. When it reaches maturity, which is another personal choice, they can decide to be identified as male or female, or neither, or both, as they desire. Once a Luminare has decided on a gender; or lack there of, they can not change it.

Birth:
Luminare are born from eggs. Only one or two per clutch, more is unheard of!
They have a standard mammilain reproductive practice, but it's mostly for fun. In order for a pregnancy to occur, a female or non-gendered Lum, must conciously will her eggs to decend during the sex act, AND the male, or non-gendered Lum must also consiously will their seed to enter the other's body.
When the two meet in 'female' Luminare's womb, then they can mixed to create one or two new lives.

Parenting is not a task that is taken lightly. It is agreed before the pregnancy which partner will take on the responsibility, or if they both will enter into a committed relationship until their spawn reaches maturity.


Life:
After its birth a Luminare is cared for by it's parent, parents or by it's community, depending on the situation. If it was two Rouges or a Rouge and Colony Lum that birthed the new one, it is generally cared for by one parent. If it is the offspring of two Colony Lum it is generally raised by the entire Colony. Some Luminare gladly take on a nurturing role to raise their own offspring and are very protective and loving.

When a Luminare is born, its colors are bright and vibrant! As it ages, they can live a very very long time, its colors dim until they become pure white. When this happens the Luminare Dragon knows that it's time has ended and it leaves to find the Sacred Place that only Lum at the end of their life can find.

From birth a Luminare is about the size of a 12 week old kitten. At maturity, a Lum can be anywhere from the size of a bob cat to the size of a tiger, very rarely do they get any bigger than that, but it has happened.

When a Luminare Dragon reaches maturity, generally 12-19 years, it gains the ability to take an anthromorphic form of itself. If it desires.


Interspecies Relations:

Luminare have no natural preditors, but many that have made contact with other species have not returned. Their hide is a highly sought after prize among those that know of them. A suit made of Luminare hide protects the wearer from extreme heat and cold, making it possible for that person to travel toclimes they may not normally be able to withstand. Their bones and fur are also highly prized for making jewelry and weapons. The bioluminescence of a Luminare never dies and their bones are hard as Diamond.

Language:
Luminare Dragons are telepathic and can communicate with any species that has cognizant thought. They can speak but their voices are of a decibel than most species can not hear.

Dieties and Religion:
The closest thing Luminare have to a Diety is First. First is the first Luminare. (See below for more information.) They have no set religion, though some may adopt the religion of another species or group. While yet others will create their own and place themselves at the head of said religion. These Lum are shunned from general Luminare Society and no longer referred to as Omnimodus Luminare.

Just like any other species there are 'Good' and 'Evil' Luminare. Evil Luminare are few and far between and are not regarded by other Luminare to be Luminare any more. They call these 'Evil' Luminare: Pravas.

The First:
There is a story of the First Luminare, this being wanders the Realms helping others. No one knows if the First is male or female, but First is the only Luminare that can make other Luminare without another Luminare present. (reproduceasexually) This Lum is nearly entirely white; it is as old as the universe and will be the last creature to leave when this universe passes into the next. Or so the legend goes.

~More Coming Soon!~
