Wheeeeee, had fun with Everquest again, hunting in Oasis of Marr still. I was the healer today. I usually don't like being healer, I want to be able to get in there and fight too... but I didn't mind it for once. It was an awesome group, they all knew what to do. The necromancer stayed well away from the fighting and told me to not worry about healing him since he wasn't the one taking the damage, the shaman was ready to support whenever I needed it, the paladin and warrior knew that when mana is low, you gotta sit out and rest so the poor druid can meditate and not worry about trying to cast on the fly... it was all so very nice :D It wasn't even a full group, just the five of us! We did have one casualty *sniffles* when we had a couple "an orc warriors" aggro on us that were actually red cons (which is really weird, it's usually the "a orc warrior" that's higher level! O_O ) I ran out of mana keeping the warrior healed up since he was main tank and all... and the stupid "an orc warrior" started wailing on the necromancer, ignoring all the taunting. Poor guy lost a half hour's worth of experience. It could have been much worse though, he was the only one killed. The experience was a bit low since pretty much everything was a blue con, but ah well. I can't wait to reach 19 though... I'll get a better healing spell and some self port spells, and better offense and buffs... it'll be nice.
And my guildmate Twyl made me some wisdom enhancing jewelry and brought it to me, which was SO nice of him! 18 points increase! *pumps fist!* YEAH! Makes a HUGE difference. ^___^ THANKS TWYL! Disclaimer about site: "The Drunkards of Norrath" might offend some. Obviously it is my CHARACTER that is a drunkard, NOT me, and it's only for game purposes because Everquest does this funny "tunnel vision" wobbling thing. I'm sure being drunk in real life is no fun at all, and I have no desire to try it! XP Just making that clear XP

Hehehehe... the local library lets you call in to renew books and such... and it's all prerecorded stuff, obviously... But some of it is a hilarious obviously computer voice reading off whatever the entries are. I was cracking up so much trying to get through the call. (Female prerecorded voice) "Cannot renew because of:" (Computer voice in a hurry) "book-is-on-hold." Or something like that. It was great XD
Then Shadow suckered me into petting him for a good 15 minutes or so. That cat is too cute, you just can't resist! Not that all cats aren't cute but... Shadow is ESPECIALLY adorable. He's such a sweetie! I know I said that two posts ago but still, it's true!
I need to watch The Neverending Story again someday. I really liked that movie. I have the theme song on my computer, and I adore it. I used to watch that movie at my grandparents house ^_^ Hehehe. I downloaded 8 "episodes" (they're only like 5 minutes each!) of Di Gi Charat. I had watched a lot at a con, but watching it all in a row was too much cuteness and weird humor to stomach. We had to leave because it was just too much after awhile. I really like it though, just in small doses!
Davey had a scary encounter with a bee. Jackie posted some of our discussion of it in her blog ^_^

Well, this is just delightful. I got a reply back from Crosswinds. Apparently, "Your account was deleted for uploading mp3s without our authorization." I've never uploaded mp3s to Crosswinds. Isn't that just wonderful? I am seriously pissed off. I'm losing an e-mail address I've had for years and planned to keep as my permanent address because of something I didn't do. I don't think I should bother replying to the e-mail. What am I supposed to say, "No, I didn't, so let me have my account back"? Don't use Crosswinds, people. They'll just screw you over. Now I have to change all my fanfics to show my new forwarding address and send it off to everyone I can track down that has it... I really hope I didn't get any important e-mails in the past several days. I am VERY pissed.

Hehehe... our cat Shadow really likes Mom's chicken soup :D Shadow's such a sweetie.
That was nice and random, wasn't it? I'm so... random. That sounded very intellectual, yes? ^_^ Did some work on a KiSS doll tonight. I don't want to say who it is yet because the last time I announced one, I ended up ditching it for now because I can't get the body right (it was Kira, and darnit I have so much trouble with male bodies.) Ah well. This one is another fan favorite character, and I think this will be easier. I have faces and one hair style done, tonight I was working out some guide lines for the body. I'll work on it more tomorrow maybe. I'll wait until I get the body finished to say who it is, hehehe.
Finished the Milk Crown that Ingmar loaned me today. That was ADORABLE. I have no idea what's going on in it, but the art is so cute ^_^; All those SD chars! And that interesting pet... oh man, that was too cute. I loved it :)
I'm listening to some 80's music right now. *watches people run away screaming* Hey! It's just a few songs that are good. I don't like most 80's music in general but... well, some songs are good! *rebel yells with Billy Idol*
I forgot my dream when I took a nap this evening. Durnit. I think it was cool, too. Phooey. *dances with Blitz Amanda* Jackie better get his shrine back up sometime so everyone will see the magnificence of the plushy god. *hint hint* ^_^
I just remembered my mom telling me that we had a prerecored message on our machine from that "psychic" woman Cleo inviting us to call for a free tarot reading. Oh, darn. I missed my chance. Oh. Shucks. Hehehe. I think I was reminded because I started thinking about my character Eryssa that I was roleplaying several minutes ago (she's telepathic, among other things.) Eryssa kicks butt :) Well, I think I ran out of things to ramble about for the moment. I should probably sleep soon. Maybe.

I had fun playing Everquest for the past few hours. Lilthinia, my level 16 wood elf druid, got two yellow bubbles of experience. Take THAT, you stupid deepwater crocodiles and caimans, ha! Much more satisfying than Whack-a-Beast. Hmph. Although it's debatable whether Lilthinia or Kuuchan is cuter...
Oh yeah, so yesterday I watched volume 3 of Kenshin and the movie. Aoshi was awesome! ^_^ The movie was alright, but some of the character designs looked really weird in places... and I got tired of seeing that scene over and over again. If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about. At least Koyasu Takehito voiced a character in it *_* I LOVE his voice, hehehe.
Going to go read some more Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind. Man, if you love fantasy, you gotta read this series, Sword of Truth. So cool! *_*
Happy birthday, Sarah, even though I bet you'll never see this! ^_~ Geez, that Springer episode was just too weird for me to watch, but ah well.

I suck at Whack-a-Beast. Whenever I finally get to the last level I need to get 300 points to finish my job, I end up smacking the cute neopets and losing. My poor Kuuchan is going to be a failure because I'm too cheap to quit. *pouts* Ah well... ;_; Note to self: Neopets is addicting. Must... stop... playing...
Awww poor Kuuchan, you're still cute even if you're a loser...

Hi Dad! I'm assuming you're gonna keep up with my blog? ^_^
Anyways, I felt the need to ramble again even though I said I'd be back tonight :P
I've been trying to select the best portrait for the yearbook, but I don't like any of the ones that have the color background we're required to use (which is blue.) The one that I love has a neutral brown type background. The blue ones have me kinda squinty because the flash makes me start to squint... darn contacts and blue eyes in combination makes for much sensitivity to light >_< One of them is okay but the photographer had me looking away from the camera. I prefer shots where I'm looking AT the camera. I mean, she was a good photographer and all, very nice to me, but still. Ah well... I guess I'll be using that one, I don't have much of a choice! >_<;;; And no, I'm not putting it up for y'all to see. You people don't get to know what I look like or what my name is, no offense :P
Speaking of knowing names... *clears throat* And now, a brief rant on internet privacy and such. It's really a bad idea to put your real name on your site, on your fanfics, on anything. It's not a good idea to post your picture for people to see either. I suppose some people feel like they need to put their real name for copyright purposes... but really, are you actually planning to sue people for stealing from your site or your fanfic? Do yourself a favor and come up with an alias to use for everything. I have been using "Immora" for several years, and I don't plan to change it. That's my identity for the web. I use(d) a pseudonym for Elfwood. If someone does steal from you... well, unless you're actually going to take legal action, having your real name known publically won't make a difference. This is something I hate about signing up for online services, you're supposed to tell them your full name... (is it hard to guess that I refuse to use my real name for those?) Do yourself a favor and keep your name a secret. Yeah, it would be fun if you ran into someone at school or work that recognized your name from your site, but it isn't worth letting strangers know your name. When I went to JACON 2001, I turned around my badge and put "Hello, my alias is Immora" on it. No one recognized it anyways, or they didn't say anything to me if they did :P But that was so ScandiaDream from the Angelus Errare boards could find me... and I was with three best friends of mine in a public place where a LOT of people were, so I felt comfortable about letting her meet me when I'd only talked to her a few times on the message board (btw, congrats on getting your teaching position, hope you'll have a good group of kids in your class!) If you're going to meet anyone in person that you only know online, always do it in a public place with a LOT of people around, and bring some friends you totally trust or your parents... because you just never know if they're some psycho :P Not that everyone you meet online will be... but it's best that you keep online friendships online friendships and don't meet people face-to-face unless you're sure you can trust them. Anyways, I could go on and on about why you should use an alias/pseudonym instead of your real name!
No offense to Jackie with the name stuff, btw ^_^;
Speaking of Elfwood, I hope it comes back. There were some INCREDIBLE artists there! I only had a few of my works up there... and I don't like them anymore, they're too old so I'd have to put more recent ones up... but still!
I need lunch, everyone's coming over soon. TTFN.

Thanks to Crosswinds for apparently deleting my account with them >_< It claims my member name doesn't exist, yet when I try to sign-up again with the same name, it says it's unavailable. ARGH. I really hope they get things straightened out, or I'll lose an e-mail address I've had for three years or so... and it would be a pain in the butt to tell everyone that has my fanfics on their sites to change it. I don't even know what all sites have them. I'll have to change my fanfics to reflect the right address and send them off to all those sites and tell them to replace it with this version... argh. So, it could get to be a REAL big frustration if I can't get my Crosswinds account back, not to mention all the e-mails I'll lose. Durnit. ;_; I e-mailed Jackie to ask her about getting a forwarding URL with my angelsanctuary.org account. Hopefully that will be more permanent. Although lucifer@angelsanctuary.org doesn't sound much like me ^_^;;; I'm a cutey, not the evil ruler of Hell! But oh well... he is a real cool (and cool looking! *_*) character, even if what he represents isn't such a nice thing. Even if I do get Crosswinds back, I'm not trusting it to stick around... and after I've used their service for so long too!
Ah well, at least I have my best friends coming over today to watch lots of anime. Definitely going to watch some Kenshin, I don't know what else. The main reason we're all getting together is that we all have things to trade/return to each other, hehehe. I'll get to read W Juliet finally! *_* And I'm going to share the joy of Blade of the Immortal. Ain't I nice? ^_^;;;
I suddenly forgot most of what I dreamed about last night. Hate it when I do that... which is often. I remember something involving Rachel Summers and Nightcrawler (of the X-Men and Excalibur comic books) and... blank. I don't remember the details, or anyone/anything else in it. Phooey.
I forgot to add a few more Lost Angel pages and two more desktops... I'll do it later. I need breakfast. I can't believe I actually woke up before 11 >_<;;; Probably because I actually went to bed at 1 because I was sleepy. Hmmm. Ah well, off to my Special K cereal. I'll ramble more later tonight when everyone has gone bye-bye *sniffles*

Hehehehe... Fardaeorn is eating strawberry shortcake and having interesting smalltalk with Christian. He's a really fun character ^_^ I actually came up with him because of a dream I had! Well, whenever I get my roleplaying section up, y'all people that don't roleplay with me will get to find out who that is. Until then... I aim to bewilder and confuse >:D Mwahahaha...
I just can't seem to fall asleep at a decent hour over the summer, but I'm actually really tired tonight. I may go to bed before 2 am! *gasp!* Last summer it was more like 4 am... it's a shock when I'm actually awake by lunchtime. Hehehe...
Malice Mizer's "Bara no Seidou" (or at least what songs I've gotten to hear) is SO GOOD. I've been listening to it on-and-off the past couple hours, hehehe. Klaha has an awesome voice. Very different from Gackt, but more fitting for the style of the music on this CD (what I've heard of it so far, hehehe) I hope I can find it at a convention sometime >_< I've been kicking myself for not buying that Gackt VCD when I had the chance, I was hesitant because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to play it on my computer. And now that I've seen some of his live recordings... geez, he's fun to watch! I think it was Mars... if I ever see that, I must get it too >_<
Blake and I squeaked at each other. Isn't that exciting? He wants "thnaks" (yes, that's the spelling!) for suggesting I change the logo font on my mainpage. So... THNAKS, BLAKE! :P
Jackie mentioned me in her blogger this evening, yay! :D Thank you, Jackie!

That was quick. The noodles my mom used for the beef stroganoff were funny :) Really good rolls though, nice and yummy and soft... eating a Smart Ones toffee thing right now. It's vanilla ice cream covered with a chocolate shell that has toffee bits in it. So good ~_~
Oh, perhaps I should explain my title and stuff. I first used "Technicolor Angel" as my title for Jackie's Angelus Errare boards, and it's basically 1) a title in the style of Angel Sanctuary (Organic Angel and all that) and 2) a throw-back to a name my friend and I used for Warcraft II multiplayer sessions, "technicolor banana." I just like the word technicolor! ^_^!
Man, that was a good toffee thing.
I hope everyone will like my new mainpage layout. I was feeling inspired yesterday ^_^ and then this one (the blog one) popped into my head when Mana was "assisting" me in getting past my mental block ^_~ Thanks Mana!
Ingmar's site and mine are gonna be sistahs now! ^_^! Isn't that special?! ... The ^_^! face is her fault, she used it and now I use it because darnit, it's cool. She better remember to bring me her W Juliet tomorrow so I can read it ¬_¬
I'll probably babble more later. I always have something to babble about!

Well, isn't this exciting? This is my first non-test post to my own blogger. Awww... isn't that just cute? *sniffles* It was a pain in the butt to get things setup, and I still think I have some things to tweak. Ah well. Gotta go eat dinner...
