No, I'm not talking about any sort of bead that you stick in unseen places :P

Hama Beads or Perler Beads are little plastic colored tube beads that you arrange on a peg board then iron to make cute little nick-knacks. Over the weekend I decided to head to the nearest craft store to pick some up after watching someone make things, and now that I have them I've decided two things.

1) I'm going to start offering commissions for the beads. You give me an idea, usually something pixelated, and I make it for you, iron it, then ship it to you. The prices will be cheap since I can get a TON of beads for a rather low price and it doesn't take me too long to make them.

2) When doing these commissions or just making stuff for fun, I'm going to be Livestreaming the creation. Speaking of which, I'm going to do a demonstration stream and craft a rather well known video game icon of recent years.

Gay Marriage is WRONG! And heres why:

Journal Entry: an hour ago

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Re-post this if you believe love makes a marriage.

Thanks to everyone who came to the second stream of me making stuff with my beads c:

Since I don't think I can post them here, I posted them on DA. Here's a link to all the ones I've done so far:

Enjoy!!! :D :D

Again I'm offering up commissions to make these sprites for a decent price. Prices will vary depending on size and complexity of it all. I will make them during a stream, iron them to stick them together, then ship them to you, shipping is taken care of by me. If you're interested in your own item, note me!! :D :D

She's a great artist and is giving away free doodles if you look through her gallery and find your favorite picture and whatnot.

So I'm going to be upgrading my tower case and video card in my computer in the hopefully not too distant future, and in doing so I'm going to need to do something with my old case and video card and I'm offering them up either separate or as a package.

The case is red and has a PSU built into it, around 430 to 450 Wattage on the PSU. All of the cables and connectors for the PSU are in tact however one has a slightly loose pin, but it still works once you plug it in correctly. It also has a small fan on the top of the case and another on the side panel, which has a nice, large viewport so you can see everything inside. The front panel has a door that swings open to give you access to where the CD/DVD drives go, has headlights on the top for ambiance, the fans give off blue ambient light, and it also has a temperature gauge on the front.

The video card is still in excellent condition. ATI Radeon 4670 HD.

If you're interested, drop me a note and I'll take some pictures and whatnot since I can't post them to my account.

So my Birthday was last month, and at this point I have received all of my gifts so I need to give some thanks.

They are as follows:

Thank you to  Draekos for buying me Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection on Steam. Its quite the interesting and fun RTS Space Game :3

Thank you to my friend Dragmon for buying me Singularity on Steam. Its AWESOME!!! And creepy :D

Thank you to  calheb-db,  lucidbane, and  tojo-the-thief for all offering to draw me something when they have some free time. I look forward to getting them and will cherish each one <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Thank you to my sweetie,  kakaridd for giving me her PS2. Its silver c:

Thank you to  dac-fox for buying me Starcraft 2. If you want to play with me, send me a note and we'll exchange information :3

Thank you to  briskfulstorm for getting me an app for my iPod Touch.

I believe that's everyone. I'll most likely edit/update the list if I should get anything more. Again, thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and for all the love and support.

My very close friend  cardboardcastles/ haiku is in desperate need of commissions otherwise she is going to be evicted from her home. If anyone can help her, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do so. She has nowhere to go if she does get evicted :/

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1593509/

Its a great deal. You pay $30, you get 4 pictures, one of which gets mailed to you. Plus not only that but you're helping both of us out since we're low on cash :/

Yes, that's right everyone. Today, July 24th in the year of 1986, this pandagon was brought into the world. According to my friend, its my Golden Birthday too since my age matches the date of my birthday. That's right, I'm 24 now.

So far, leading up to and most likely including today, its going to be one of if not the best birthday ever. I've already gotten a bunch of awesome gifts from my close friends and a few possible presents on the way as well from others and the parents.

Expect a thank you journal in a few days regarding the presents I get.

I'm 24 now. WOO!!!!!

SEAKING!!!!!



I GOT MY CATACLYSM BETA INVITE!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

So yeah, just found out about half an hour ago that my roommate and I just got laid off. So yay for free time, boo for no money coming in.

Well, I will be getting unemployment but it probably won't be a whole lot.

Fuck you Oregon and your high unemployment rate!!! *Shakes fist at the air* But I do love living here regardless.

So  anailaigh has a great offer going on regarding Wanted! posters of characters. The posters can be naughty or tame, whichever you decide.

The catch is that you have to do one of two things for them: Either pay $6 via PayPal OR if you happen to be an artist, you can do an art trade for one.

Also you have to send her character references/information, what you want said on the poster, and you have to advertise for her as I am doing now.

GET OVER THERE AND GET SOME!!!

I got one :D

If you play WoW, when you log in today you'll notice that 3.3.5 has gone live finally. And with 3.3.5 not only do we get Ruby Sanctum, we get Real ID's. So anyone who plays and reads this, and wants to chat with me sometime while playing, send me a note with your email that's attached to your WoW account and I'll add you :D

Or you can add me: zariss_79[at]msn.com

Hope to see notes or invites from anyone who plays :D

Some people need to learn that if they want to take charge of their life and change the fact that they're "always" lonely or scared or depressed or upset because they believe no one talks to them, that its THEM who has to make a change instead of stewing in their own depression.

If people are really as depressed as they claim they are, maybe they need some depression medication or something instead of bitching and complaining when things don't go their way.

Yes, this is in regards to something that happened with someone earlier today and I'm not going to point fingers. But still. Take charge of your own lives instead of relying on other people to change it for you.

That is all c:

So yeah...Rather upset that my baby is leaving tomorrow to go home but I know that she'll be back to stay forever as soon as she can. Possibly within the next month or two at which point I will be quite the happy pandagon. So we're trying not to cry cause its sad we have to leave one another...But I'm sure by Tuesday we'll be smiling and happy again.

Oh and F5 FOR NEW CUTENESS!!!!!

I has mah  kakaridd wiff meh. If you ask nicely, maybe I'll post a RL picture of her and I together :3

So yeah, I'm going to be transferring to another server on WoW. Again. Any suggestions? :B

I'll be starting my own guild wherever I go and I'd prefer to stay away from high pop servers and Bloodhoof.

Not from me, I'm just a writer. However my mate,  kakaridd is doing a BUNCH of commissions for $5 a piece. She wants to earn a little extra cash before she visits next month :3

So go ahead and go check her out, drop her a note or a comment on her journal if you want one :3

So yeah, I have a very basic panda avatar on SL right now thrown together with some super basic dragon wings and tail, but I really want to get myself a custom one, as does my mate Kakari.

The only thing is...I DON'T KNOW ANY CREATORS!!! x.x

 dragryphon Only does modding, I know someone who can do skins, but I don't know anyone who is taking commissions for or even does custom avatars.

If anyone can give me some suggestions, either via Note, reply to this journal, or message me on SL (SL name is Zariss Switchblade), I would greatly appreciate it.

So yeah, I just got off the line with Xbox 360 support cause I was having problems playing Clerks and Clerks 2 on my 360 that I downloaded from iTunes. Legally downloaded and paid for, shouldn't be a problem.

Online support says that the H.264 codec supports .m4v which both movies are in. Great. Looking forwards to watching both with Firasia.

So I plug in the USB thumb drive and attempt to play the movies. And get an error saying it is an unsupported file type.

What. The. FUCK?!?!?

So, back to the top, I called them up and after spending 20 minutes on the phone cause the lady didn't understand the fact that I was talking about FILE FORMATS, not USB FORMATS or TYPES, she tells me "Oh sorry but uuuuummmm........Because of the fact that ummm....The files are for licensed movies, you can't watch them on your 360."

Nevermind the fact that I've watched iTunes movies on my 360 before, with Brisk. He can fucking vouch for that. So yeah, fuck you Microsoft and Xbox 360 support. They didn't say ANYTHING about licensing on their support site.

So yeah, I just wasted an hour and a half with this shit. I'm a little ticked off.

So, as many of you may know from other journals or may just find out from this one, today as a very lesser-known holiday also known as "Appreciate a Dragon Day". And well I used to be a dragon, I still am part dragon.

Panda and Dragon

So you know what that means?








APPRECIATE ME DAMMIT!!!! NO HALF APPRECIATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED!!! GET TO WORK!!! XD

Just kidding. So go out there and appreciate a dragon you know. I know I plan to, and hope to get some in return :3

Hehe, the two are rather close together but not as close as I thought it would be X3

Someone help out a dear friend and artist in need...My very close friend  bant3r's dad just got robbed not too long ago...Over $2000 was stolen from his house.

Aroka wants to get her dad just a basic DVD player for Christmas so he can have something to do until things get back to normal at his house, however no one seems to be commissioning her.

I just got a few from her, but why aren't you commissioning her already?!? Her art is AMAZING and she is only charging $10 per picture...She's getting desperate to the point where she said she'd draw ANYTHING...So please guys, go help her out...I did as much as I could for her, and now I'm asking you guys to help too...
