                <description><![CDATA[ Freakachris (<a href="http://freakachris.deviantart.com/">[link]</a>) made me an icon!! Isn't it spiffy!! Pretty hammer... all shiny and twinkley. I dub the: The hammer of JUSTICE!!! ^_^ <3 OK, I just went all Amelia of Slayers on y'all there, but hey, she got Zelgadiss, didn't she? I could use that kind of luck... <br /><br />Other than that, nothing too terribly much to report. Still working on writing (slowly). Unfortunately, I'm kinda hung up on my favorite purple haired, reincarnated spazz character... yea... her and my perverted priest, Eli. How my writing buddy Shannon hasn't beaten me over the head with my own notebook yet, I'm not sure.<br /><br />I've been filling my free time with watching play throughs of survival horror games on Youtube. Ahh, sweet Youtube. I love survival horror games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil... unfortunately, I SUCK at them. Of all the things I miss the most about college, just crashing in the dorm room in the evenings watching the guys play games comes close to the top of the list. A couple of months ago I got to watch Freakachris play some Bioshock and since then, I've been watching survival horror games on Youtube. Just finished watching a runthrough of Rule of Rose... they say that game was nearly banned for being too "sensual" and "explicit." Honestly, I would have banned it for "lack of sense in plot." WTF?!?! Steer clear of this one, Chris, LOTS of creepy young girls.<br /><br />In other news, go see the new Indiana Jones movie!!! A friend and I caught the midnight showing last night and LOVED IT! ^__^ That is all! Take care!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Heather's birthday? Check.<br />Valentine's Day? Check, survived.<br />St Patrick's Day? Check, after waking up at 2 pm on my buddy's couch and hoping that the yellow puddle in the kitchen was just a spilled beverage, not someone drunkenly missing the bathroom.<br /><br />Actually, St Patrick's Day went great this year! I DDed as always, but only had to cart around 4 people (last year, I had two car loads). No one got belligerently drunk, no one got sick and we stayed up unil 8 am playing Wii Sports. <br /><br />Unfortunately, with this holiday over and done with, the NEXT major event is MY birthday. I hate my birthday. It has nothing to do with getting older or anything like that. Years ago, my mother chose my birthday as perfect time to explain to me that my father was having an affair and she had kicked him out of the house. Seeking solace with my friends, I drove 2 hours to my old alma mater, and visited with my friends who were still in school... and got stuck there when a week long blizzard hit town. Honestly didn't mind being stuck in a town with my friends with nothing better to do than to watch movies for a week, I just hate snow in general and don't like the inability to pick up and drive anywhere at a moment's notice. <br /><br />At least on the plus side Tekkoshocon is coming up... Last year's Tekko was one of the best cons I've ever attended and I'm looking forward to it again. It's going to be the weekend following my birthday, so at least there's that. I need a fun vacation to get my mind off of things. Lots of things worrying me at the moment... going to try to not think about them tho!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sweet light, I hate Erie winters. This has better have been that "in like a lion" part of the adage because I don't want to deal with another storm like this weekend's during St Patrick's Day, when I'm pulling my annual designated driver duties (whoo for alliteration!). My shift at Borders on Saturday was initially changed into a half shift on Friday, then completely cancelled early Saturday afternoon. The roads were slick as heck! I was nearly sideswiped on Friday because a person coming out of a Burger King parking lot couldn't stop and ended up sliding into traffic. <br /><br />I haven't been doing much writing recently. The muse has been elusive and I've been having a few health concerns that are weighing on me. I hope that it's nothing serious, mainly just aches and pains in places that have no reason to ache or pain, but unil my health insurance becomes affective next month, I won't know for sure. I am working on one piece currently, a fictional piece regarding the history of a character I play in a roleplaying game on Gaia Online. <br /><br />I saw this posted on BluSheepArt's <a href="http://blusheepart.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> journal and felt the need to post it here. A lot of people operate outside the confines of what "society" would consider "normal." My heart goes out to them. My little patch of Erie is not by any means what you would consider a "progressive" or "understanding." I had enough problems growing up just because I developed outside the realm of conventional female behavior (i.e. I read too much, didn't use makeup and wasn't obsessed with boys). I don't know many homosexual people, but the ones I do know are awesome, and I'd never wish anything ill on them.<br /><br />Post: I make this journal because this topic bothers me a lot. I found this on bryzunovrokk's journal before. Isn't it scary to see in what sick world we're living in...?<br />If someone feels encouraged to make any insultings: you're just brainless bastards.<br /><br />I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.<br /><br />I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday<br /><br />I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.<br /><br />I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.<br /><br />I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.<br /><br />We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.<br /><br />I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.<br /><br />I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.<br /><br />I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.<br /><br />We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.<br /><br />I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.<br /><br />I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.<br /><br />I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.<br /><br />I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.<br /><br />I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.<br /><br />I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.<br /><br />I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.<br /><br />I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.<br /><br />I am a warrior for my country serving proud, but can't be my true self because gays aren't allowed in the military.<br /><br />I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.<br /><br />I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.<br /><br />I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson."<br /><br /><br />This is the boy, Matthew Shepard. On October 7, 1998 Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson lead him to a remote area east of Laramie where they demonstrated unimaginable acts of hate. Matthew was tied to a split-rail fence where he was beaten and left to die in the cold of the night. Almost 18 hours later h... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, since we've officially celebrated Heather's birthday, I can officially go back to hating February. Grrrr, so full of hate. Thank goodness it's the shortest month of the year. <br /><br />There IS something to look forward to though!! TMNT 2k3 Season 2 volume 1 will be released on February 19th!! YAAAAY!!! THEY'RE FEEDING MY ADDICTIONS!! I just wish they would release it BEFORE Valentine's Day, I'd marathon it. Sucks being the only single person in your group of friends on Valentine's Day. All those nice things you did for your friends in the past on Valentine's Day when THEY were single? Yea, don't expect them to REMEMBER it. 10 to 1 odds. <br /><br />So Nikkie's plans for V-day? She's gonna get herself some goldslaugger and some wine and play the TMNT FF drinking game. The rules are very simple and guaranteed to get you drunk enough to forget it's V-day within the first 2 episodes. Just drink every time a) The phrase "It's Ninja Time!" is proclaimed and b) Mikey screams like a girl. Have fun! <br /><br />OK, I've whined enough about the woes of being single in February, here take this: Half-Life, Full Life CONSEQUENCES!!! If you know nothing about Half-Life, don't be concerned. If you've experienced bad fan fiction, you will find this HYSTERICAL!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHxyZaZlaOs">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, I finally put something up on here instead of just lurking and spying for TMNT fanart. Unfortunately, it's just a silly parody I wrote based off my experience playing Suikoden V when it came out years ago. Ahhh, I love Suikoden! <br />
<br />
When the game was first released, my friend Michelle and I raved on and on about it. Another friend of ours had a party celebrating her graduation from college and all the two of us did was gab on the entire night about how great the game was and speculate about what was going to happen next. It was one of the most fun parties I've ever attended. ^_^ <br />

Hopefully I'll write something a little more post-worthy soon. Hard to judge though, what with the two jobs thing keeping me busy.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I was talking to Freakachris (<a href="http://freakachris.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> ... yeah, I can't do the nifty little icon link thingie) this weekend regarding the flack that some of the lovely ladies producing female OC TMNT artwork has been receiving lately. Never ceases to amaze me how far people will go out of their way to harass people who aren't hurting anyone, just to make themselves feel good. Freaky-poo agreed, and we traded horror stories. God, it all reminds me of high school. And middle school. And primary school. Yea, I was never a very bright child, and I never DID fit in. Went through a LOT of torment. Probably why I hate to see people get picked on. <br />
<br />
Thusly, I would like to propose the following thought for people who regularly flame other people's work, be it fan art or fiction, or what have you. If you don't like what you see, then just quietly move along please. I'm not talking about neglecting to provide some helpful critiquing regarding technique that the artist/writer might find useful, I mean picking juvenile fights over subject matter. This is not helpful to anyone. All you're accomplishing by picking fights with artists/authors is proving that you're an ass. You're trying to hurt someone who isn't doing anything to intentionally harm you, which is very, very cruel, and this should not make you feel better or superior to anyone else. Also, some of us might LIKE this writer/artist's work, and discouraging them from continuing and that might make us angry... Some of us might already be PMSing and don't need any encouragement to start flaming your work in return. It's a cruel vicious cycle. This argument might fall on deaf ears, but heck, it's worth a try. <br />
<br />
People, keep doing what you love, regardless of what petty peons might think or say. Don't limit yourselves. There are a lot of mean people in the world who will try to do that for you, there's no reason to add yourselves to your list of enemies. Also, I like and respect your work and don't want to see it stop. ^_~ Have fun and do your thing.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Helloo there! I'm Nikkie, current resident of Erie, Pennsylvania and new Deviantart member. Uhm... I really don't have much to say, I'm not much an artist. I do some chibi comics every now and again, but lacking a scanner, it'll probably never make its way to this page. Really I just got the account so I could access the adult fiction and fan art abundant on Deviantart. Hey, I'm 25, I'm legal! Don't judge me!<br />
<br />
I do like to write, so maybe one day some of my fiction will end up here... we'll have to see. I work two jobs currently, so I keep quite busy. One job is working at Borders book store, which I love and adore! I've always been a huge reader. My all time favorite author is Terry Pratchett, the mastermind behind the Discworld series. If you've never read the series before, please pick up a novel. They're all wonderful reads! (Well, except Pyramids... that story was just kind of weird). I also highly recommend Twilight by Stephanie Meyers, a young adult vampire romance novel. I usually don't hold the vampire romance genre in high esteem but this book blew me away! <br />
<br />
Let's see... other interests? Well, I'm REALLY big into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the moment. The new TMNT movie rekindled the love I felt for the series back in the mid 80s when I was a young'un. It's been months and nothing seems to be able to sate my cravings for more turtles, certainly not the number of DVDs I've purchased (Best Buy will be the death of my checking account if Borders isn't) or the wealth of gorgeous fan art floating around here! I also love playing video games! I'm currently working on Odin Sphere and having a good time with it, but my all time favorite video game series is the Suikoden series by Konami. If you're looking for a great RPG with a wealth of unique and interesting characters and a captivating plot, by all means check out the latest installment, Suikoden 5. You won't regret it! <br />
<br />
Uhm, well, I can't think of anything else to add here, so thanks again for being great artists and giving me shiny eye candy! Please keep up the good work! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
