                <description><![CDATA[ Nothing much going on.  Got a 'verse simmering away in my head for my man far away; have only written one scene in it though.  Really need to sit down and write more.  I miss my man . . </emo><br /><br />  Also wrote small snippet storystarter for a Trek fic.  Mirror!Spock!Prime goes into hiding after his empire is overthrown by the Klingon/Cardassian alliance; when Romulus is in peril, he thinks he sees his chance to rebuild his power base (saving a planet oughtta be worth some political capital with the natives, right?)  Unfortunately for him, he fails and gets chased into his own red-matter singularity by some angsty rihannsu -- err i mean ROMULANS --  and ends up in a near-identical universe, jetlagged about a hundred years behind his own . .  gee, sounds a bit familiar, yeh?  **rolleyes**  ANyway . . want to write what happens in the mirror of the rebooted universe. . probably I won't actually go anywhere with it, we'll see.  Anyone seen any good reboot!mirrorverse stories yet?<br /><br />Bleh.  So tired.  Finally going back to bed.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Had just finished rereading Tales of the Questor and was lying in bed thinking about Lux, all the different things it could do (or, so it seems to me, all the different kinds of energy it can influence) and so on and so forth.  This got me thinking about Sparky people in Girl Genius and how maybe they were subconsciously manipulating something like lux (I decided to call it a metaradiation but that term's probably already in use?) and 'etching' or imbuing their components with something like circuits for this metaradiation, thus allowing their creations to do things that seem to warp the laws of reality.  Supposedly this  metaradiation would, at different points in its spectrum and when manipulated in different ways, do things like strengthen or weaken the electromagnetic field or fiddle with the gravitational attraction between some mass and all other mass or amplify any already-present visible light, etc. etc. . . .  It would be energy that manipulates the nature of other energies.<br /><br />But this was all getting pretty weird to me and it occurred to me that I, who have usually tested out as pretty smart and who likes to hang out with a computer technician (yey dad!) and who enjoys things that at least SEEM logically consistent, didn't even have a firm idea of what electricity was all about, much less how stuff like EM radiation propogates or even what exactly that MEANS, i just have a knack for understanding enough of a technical discussion from the context to at least pretend to understand the gist of it, and maybe it was about time I started to correct my woeful ignorance and actually understood the full significance of sciency stuff and therefore be able to actually tell whether or not crazy theories like metaradiation are even remotely plausible or instead hackneyed enough to destroy the most basic suspension of disbelief and make grown physicists weep.<br /><br />So I rush of to Wikipedia, not knowing where the nearest handy appropriate textbook would be, and I start relearning about particles and fields and waves and so on and so forth, and this time a bit systematically instead of just from offhand comments, and my head starts to hurt and I make whimpery noises like a dog trapped in a corner as I try to resolve competing impressions and to understand WHY different particles have different properties like charge (I can kinda sorta grasp that different molecules have different properties because of the way their different shapes hook into each other but that didn't require me to really understand fields and when you think about it why do fields exist' I mean why SHOULD all matter be attracted to each other? and why should certain subsets of matter be even MORE attracted to each other or even REPELLED? over a distance? without touching at all? I can accept that it happens but how? why? aaagh) and while I'm often pretty good at understanding some types of interactions based on defined properties of items (bet you can't guess my favorite type of programming!  That's right, it's object-oriented ftw!) I just can't grasp why those things should have some innate thing about them that is PROPERTIES, I mean at least with programming things have properties because we SAID so, but who said up and down quarks have the property of (+/-)1/3e, I mean I believe in God so obviously I figure HE said it but still how did He even make it WORK and  **gasp gasp** gyaaah!<br /><br />And I was at the point where I was literally* about to go steal Dad's oil paints and paint a great big sloppy "WHY?" in big red letters on the wall next to my bed, and in neat blue letters "Because." beside it, and scribbles of thinks like properties and interactions and definitions, all just to express my frustration and head-hurty-ness, and I realized that maybe defacing a wall in my parents' house (and probably staining my sheets) was not the best idea and I reeeally needed to do something to calm down.<br /><br />So I woke up dad ("Help!  I looked up electricity and now I can't stop thinking sciency things!!") and he laughed and gave me a hug and I snuggled in bed with mom and dad for a few minutes and got some much-needed perspective.  Namely, that it doesn't really matter to your heart if you don't understand the basic underpinnings of the universe, as long as you can get hugs from someone you love.<br /><br />*This means not exaggerated, yes I really was about to go do this.<br /><br />----<br />Oh, yeah, and my meds still haven't arrived.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ [some of you - probably a lot - will find this is all so much preaching to the choir.  this is hardly a new idea after all.  but it doesn't seem to have occurred to some people, and it hit me extra-hard today, soo . . ]<br /><br /><br />  Culture a la carte.<br /><br />  And why shouldn't we each have one?  Pick and choose bits that we like best from all the cultures we see out there, all the naming conventions (why not rename yourself?), all the styles of dress, the manners we offer to others (this isn't an excuse to get offended by others mind you), the things we eat, the roles we play.  Sure it's fun to dress up in a kimono (well okay it's actually incredibly frustrating but rewarding) but that doesn't mean that you have to copy ALL of the style of "traditional" Japanese dress and you're not any less of a person/fan if you mix things up.  And you don't have to go completely roman just because you like some of their ideas about bondservice.  Pick and choose what you like.<br /><br />  It's not like religion, which claims to explain the truth about the universe and how we are supposed to act/are most likely to benefit by acting.  Some religions, if they were even partly true, it wouldn't really make sense to mix them with other religions . . you'd get something so self-contradictory that it doesn't seem like it'd be useful for discovering the truth with <i>at all</i>.  But culture, that's doesn't have to be so central to your worldview, does it?  You can enjoy the steampunk look, and even manner of speech and composure, without genuinely believing in Aether.  Or you can believe in Aether without liking steampunk, I suppose, but that goes back to your worldview and isn't really what I'm talking about here.<br /><br />  I think you really ought to be picky about what you believe.  After all, if you get it wrong, you might have some tragic consequences.  No matter how strongly you believe you can fly, will you <i>really</i> be able to do it?<br /><br />  But how you dress, how you act, what kind of job you have, what you call yourself, what things you do with your free time . . not just in roleplaying, but in your everyday life . . if what you believe doesn't prohibit it, why <i>not</i> pick and choose your own personal cultural style?  Why do we think we have to pick up things whole-cloth?  Who gave us the idea that we HAVE to be hardcore?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Mom has been wondering what, if anything, she should do for NaNoWriMo this year, and I decided to show her those '100 theme challenge' lists that have been floating around the internet since roughly the beginning of recorded time.  I managed to find a few, but so many are just the same two or three lists reposted again and again and again . . it would be nice to find a big ol' list of lists, wouldn't it?  "this list was introduced in 2003 as an oekaki challenge!  This list was created in 2005 specifically for fanime short stories!"  You know, that kind of thing.  And since most lists can be used as starters for just about any kind of art, you could browse them all and pick and choose the things you like . . <br /><br />Now I kinda want to write a 100 Themes/Topics list of my own.  (100 Internet Memes?  100 Shades Of Grey? [<--not that last one, that's just silly])<br /><br />Anyone know of anyplace that compiles challenge lists like that?<br /><br />Off to recreate the wheel . .<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ow.  Really bad headache.  I guess compared to a migraine or something it's not that bad.  But I never really get headaches that much.<br /><br />It seems dependent on my blood pressure or heartrate or something, it hurts more when I move around but light or sound doesn't affect it much.  Ow ow ow.<br /><br />Need to go finish chores so I can go to bed.  Just wanted to get a record down somewhere in case this starts happening regularly.  And this is the closest thing I have to a blog/diary/whatever.<br /><br />Ow.<br /><br /><br />--correction.  Sound hurts a bit.  So much for my calming music.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Is it a bad thing, to have more journal entries than deviations?<br />
<br />
Tired.  Missing Wolficorn.  (I want to say MY Wolficorn, but he's not really.)  I hope he is settling in well to his new job.<br />
<br />
I like Oneko-chan, but I get along better with her in person.  I like Wolfikins, but I get along better with him online.  Maybe it's because he and I are still restrained around each other irl.  Or something.  Although most people, to watch me with him, would probably not call me 'restrained'.  **fawns over**  Poor dude.  I must be terribly stifling irl.<br />
<br />
With One-chan, I think we feed off of each other's energy irl, and we get a lot out of body language, so things are a little more fun.  Online I am too random and chatty, without actually feeding any of that energy into her, so she is dealing with a nut.  So while I miss her, I don't chat with her as much, because it's just not enough . . <br />
<br />
<br />
Bleh.  Go sleepy now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
and this song sorta popped into my head.  I'm going to record it once I get another microphone set up.  (Tiny the giant rabbit chewed through the cord of my old one, and the one on my mp3 player is horrid.)  It'll be in scraps, and you'll have to hit 'download' to hear it . . but it's a lot easier than me trying to download one of the Flash programs and learning how to use it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love you more . . <br />
        than the sun in the sky<br />
I love you more . . <br />
        than the wind in the trees<br />
I love you more . .<br />

I love you more . .<br />
                I love you more than anything<br />

Translated: my mommy is awesome <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  She got me a subscription to DA (again) - yay!  Now I can go through those ~9,500 unviewed deviations . .<br />
<br />
As a side note, I'm going through my favorites and pruning a bit.  It'll probably take me forever.  I just have toooo many favs to go through . . which is why I'm pruning in the first place!  Only piccies that I absolutely love will stay fav'd.  Which will probably be 90% of them.<br />

Mew . . wish I'd been able to snag a copy of my ex-roomie's dictionary  . . then I could keep my memory refreshed on all those words I'd 'learned' . . <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I keep . . . entertaining visions of my head . . of driving up there, giving you everything, staying as long as you'll have me, giving you such total control and being your slave . . but . . I know I'm not good enough . . and you wouldn't want me anyway, because you're not a natural owner, you don't enjoy it enough . . and I know I could never be a good enough owner for you.  I can't give you what you need, what you want.

I'm not good enough.  The surest way for me to lose someone is to try and give myself completely, totally, to them. . .<br />

Stir together slowly, alternating 15 seconds of each song until all ingredients are added.  Mix with a wooden spoon until lumpy.  Bake at 375 until charred.  Serve cold.<br />

<br />
That was me a few weeks ago.  Lemme tell you, even being depressed and PMSing is better than THAT mess.<br />
<br />
Solution?  Sit down and talk about what you both REALLY want, and decide on what you are or aren't going to do.  TOGETHER.  It's no good if you decide to try one thing and he decides something else.  Totally messes you up.<br />
<br />
Oh, and really think about whether or not you've forgiven him for not being perfect.  No, I'm not kidding.  We're only human.  We get hurt when people, well, hurt us.  Check to make sure you've really forgiven the hurt.  Took me forever to do that because I didn't want to admit I was 'petty' enough to hold a grudge about being human.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ That's the problem with not taking my meds.  I enjoy things too much.<br />
<br />
<i>It's easy to groove with me, just gotta leave your mind<br />
Leave all your troubles behind . . <br />
It's easy to groove, be free . . just gotta take a chance<br />
don't think it over, ask me to dance . . </i><br />
<br />
I thought the song was scary enough, the reality is worse.  Leave your mind?  Just feel the groove?  Ignore all rationality . .<br />
<br />
That's the problem with taking my meds.  I don't-care too much.  I won't make myself do things.<br />
<br />
That's the problem with not taking my meds.  I have too much energy.  I get carried away by highs and lows and trembling anxious fears and crazy shivering bursts of madgirl.<br />
<br />
<br />
I had a dream about you.  A waking dream.  It went like this . .<br />
<br />
Robin lays on your bed as you type.  She's curled up on her right side, head towards the desk, right arm shoved underneath the pillow to prop her head up.  Her other arm is curled in tight against her side.  She speaks softly, quietly, in a strange sort of peaceful calm.  "I know that Morgan is probably the one for you . . I know you love her, and that you always keep coming back to her.  And I'm not trying to lessen that.  But do you, even just a little, love me?  I mean 'love' in any way you want to define it.  Without changing what you have with Morgan . . do you at all love me?"<br />
<br />
*and you said something . . something about maybe, maybe a platonic sort of love, just a little sort of friend connection, and how we couldn't be together and I said 'but you do love me just a little even just as a friend' and you said yes.*<br />
<br />
She sighs a content sigh and curls up a little more, comfortable, basking in - something.  "That's enough," she says, and closes her eyes.<br />
<br />
"I'm going to miss you, you know . . " She hmmms for a moment.  "I mean I'll have friends over the summer I'm sure and we'll still talk on yahell and stuff, but I'll still miss you.  I mean . . you protected me.  Protected me when you were the one who was vulnerable.  Protected ME!  Friends like that are hard to find . . . But I'll be glad.  Glad that you'll have Morgan.  I hope things work out for you two, I really do . . . "  She sighs and drifts off to sleep, hugging your pillow to her face.  "I'll still miss you . . . "<br />
<br />
*and you lightly pat my elbow or my hair or cover me with the blanket and tell me to sleep, to get some rest, to try to forget it.  You're relieved that I'm not upset but worried that I'll go crazy again.  But that's okay.  Because you love me even a little and that's enough.  You love me . . *<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Silly dream.  I was going to IM you and talk about it.  But it wouldn't have gone the way I dreamt it, of course, and I might have made things even worse.  I might have gotten carried away, or enjoyed things too much, or been hurt too much, or something.  Something too much.  That's the trouble with not being on my meds.<br />
<br />
I scared myself, the other night.  I'm so so sorry if I scared you too.<br />
<br />
I scared myself . . <br />
<br />
that's the trouble with not being on my meds. ]]></description>

<b>Newbie</b><br />

A young female Newbie wanders around, inexperienced and non-descript.<br />
<br />
She smells like . . hmm . . vanilla and cinnamon?  Yep.  And is that . . dirt?  Yep, plain red dirt.<br />
<br />
<b>Fourpaws Vixen</b><br />
You see . .<br />
 . . . a perky young fourpaws vixen.  Her red fur and brown eyes aren't that unusual, and even the light coating of dirt all over her might not be that strange, but something about the way she holds herself tells you, this girl is just a bit kooky (and not afraid to show it!)<br />

<br />
<b>Fourpaws Housecat</b><br />
You see . . .<br />
 . . . a young female fourpaws kitty.  She's covered in fine red dirt, so that her natural colors are nearly impossible to make out.  Dark blue eyes dart around shyly.  Her fur is medium-length, and her tail is just a bit fluffy.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Vulpikat</b><br />
--------------------<br />
You see . .<br />
 . . a young digitigrade woman, about five feet tall.  Her rich brown fur is medium-length, maybe half an inch on average; a foxy snout sits on an otherwise feline face.  Dark blue eyes peer out above, twitching along with black whiskers.  Delicate ears swivel to and fro.  Slender paws with retractable claws hang by her side.  A long, slightly fluffy tail curls along behind.<br />
 .<br />
The fur smoothes out all of her curves, making her look sleek.  Speaking of curves, there is a definite feminity to this one; soft white flows across two large breasts before moving down her front.<br />
 .<br />
Though she wears no clothes, she's modestly covered by her thick fur.  A simple silver ring circles her neck, marking her as legally bound to another.<br />
 .<br />
Something in her body language tells you that she's playful, and maybe just a bit kooky.  Her eyes look intelligent, but her face looks like a little kit.  This is a woman . . girl . . female of contradictions.<br />

"Gnrrr . . getting late . . "  <br />
She blinks and then realizes that maybe being sleepy is why it's getting harder and harder to think . . amazing concept, no? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />" to Zackfox<br />
<br />
In a page-pose to you, Zackfox chuckles!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> "weeelll yes, I think there may be some connection, dear <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />"<br />
<br />
You page-pose, "Selene rubs one hand against your back, moving the tips of her knuckles in small circles between your shoulders." to Zackfox<br />
<br />
In a page-pose to you, Zackfox ohhs!.... *sigghhh.. mmeeelltt..*<br />
In a page-pose to you, Zackfox burbles.. "uhh mmmm. thats nice. hehe"<br />
<br />
You page-pose, "Selene sits behind you and starts with both hands, moving in opposite circles, one on each shoulder.  Every so often her hands move back towards the spine, or down your back a bit, before returning to the spot between your shoulder blades and the base of your neck." to Zackfox<br />
<br />
You page-pose, "Selene works her way up the back of your neck, using just one knuckle - sometimes two - from each hand.  They move in tiny circles, digging into the knots formed by a long day.  Her thumbs brush lightly against your headfur as her hands move." to Zackfox<br />
<br />
In a page-pose to you, Zackfox shivers! "oh.. oh my" he says, panting a little at how nice that is, purrrrrrring and his eyes closing, shivering "ohh heh. that uh mmmmm I didnt expect this.. ommmmmmm" he says, coooing at the lovely touches "thats. .. thats sooo good" he says, his feet even *melt* into little pools. hehe <3<br />
<br />
You page-pose, "Selene grins as her years of practice pay off.  She works her way back down, alternating between your neck and the top of your back.  She switches the direction of her rubbing from time to time, from clockwise to counterclockwise, just to keep things from staying too much the same." to Zackfox<br />
<br />
You page-pose, "Selene moves down to just your back again . . she sometimes works her way down her spine to the small of your back, pushing firmly, and sometimes out to the sides of you back, being a bit more gentle there." to Zackfox<br />
<br />
In a page-pose to you, Zackfox ohhhs and nestles in against your shoulder, panting a little and his arms cuddling around your lower back, holding onto you for support as he sigghs and relaxes "ohhh hon.." he says, whimpering a little at how cozy and nice it all is.. he shivers and breathes in deep long breaths, murrrrring, his tail quivering back n forth in pure bliss "ahh.. mmph.. ahhh.." his eyes closed, ears splayed "oh.. its.. soo nice" he says.  He's gonna melt-gasm into a relax-o-puddle at any moment, but stays solid so he can feel more of your lovely lovely touch <3 <3<br />
<br />
You page-pose, "Selene blinks in surprise at the effect she's having, but keeps going.  She returns to just below your shoulder blades, moving more slowly now as your muscles are already relaxed.  She starts using her thumbs, rubbing little secondary circles as her knuckles do their work." to Zackfox<br />
<br />
You page-pose, "Selene gradually slows waaaaay down, giving your entire back a light going-over.  She reaches up and rubs your neck one last time, then settles her hands against your shoulderblades, then lightly rubs down your spine.  She leaves them there for a second or two before pulling her hands away and letting you sit all melty-like. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />" to Zackfox<br />
<br />
In a page-pose to you, Zackfox sigghs, panting very quietly and softly as you massage your thumbs along his back and your skillful knuckles.. he purrrs as you rub along his neck, shivering as you run along his shoulders, shoulderblades.. and mmphs, straighting up as you stroke along his spine, purrrrring gingerly, sigghing as you take your hands away.  He mmmpphs, just shivering, sitting there, totally in bliss, then breaathes in, and as he exhales, his whole body *melllttts* cutely down into a blue puddle of bliss <3 <3<br />
<br />
You page-pose, "Selene awwws and pats the blue puddle.  "Looks like you really needed that backrub <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />"" to Zackfox<br />
<br />
In a page-pose to you, Zackfox giggles and burrbles around, he'd kiss ya if he .. wasnt a puddle <img src="http:... ]]></description>

<br />
Valthial whispers, "I should have them all done tomorrow, ready for you to enter in #morph." to you.<br />
<br />
You whisper, "Thank you, sir.  I'm very curious as to what you'll create . . and happy to know that it will be something you'll like.  I'd be afraid to create something myself, since I'm not very good at writing what other people want." to Valthial.<br />
<br />
Valthial whispers, "I think it's more what you would fashion yourself, and I'd just undertake the tedium of setting it into text.  I've all confidence that you'll be just as pleasing and attentive a vulpine thereafter, and one so eager to repay a due favor?" to you.<br />
You whisper, "You already have my service; I will do anything for you that I can without crossing the border into sex.  If there is anything within those limits that I can do to repay your kindnesses, you only have to name it." to Valthial.<br />
<br />
Valthial whispers, "Where would you set that boarder, dear?  I'd like to touch you, if only casually so, as you make such an inviting vulpine, but not so far as to offend." to you.<br />
<br />
You whisper, "Touch me as you would a servant.  Try not to think of me as a person for sex, but as a trophy - someone you show off in front of others.  I am happy to serve and make others jealous with my body.  But do not try to take that beauty from me, please." to Valthial.<br />
<br />
You whisper, "My body is reserved for another.  It may be changed, looked at, dressed up or down . . but its ultimate purpose is to serve another, one I haven't even met yet, who will be my lifemate." to Valthial.<br />
<br />
You page, "I do not mind you using my body.  But you cannot own it.  And sex  . . would be a way of owning it.  And anything that leads to sex would only be torture if there can't be sex.  So . . touch me as you will, accept my milk and my hands and my labor.  But claiming my body as your own . . <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />" to Valthial.<br />
<br />
You whisper, "I am sorry if I sound selfish or harsh.  And I know I have not been very specific.  But I suppose the main thing is the intent.  One can touch another's shoulder in a friendly or aggressive or demanding manner . . or one can touch it in a seductive or totally-possessive manner.  You can be demanding, and even possessive - in that I am your servant, not someone else's - but it's my service that belongs to you, not my body, so there can't be seduction or total posession." to Valthial<br />
<br />
<br />
You page-pose, -mischan- to Valthial<br />
<br />
Valthial whispers, "I thought that, from your listing, you'd already found your one and only elsewhere, and in such a case I'd not interfere.  I'd gladly consider you a trophy, a delightful prize, and treat you accordingly.. we've already seen the envy that your superlative companionship evokes.  I'd gladly accept your milk, your hands, and of course your kiss, but if it is absolute that you'd not be my vixen in that regard.. that's how it will be." to you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Selene bows very low, bringing her head far below her waist.<br />
<br />
You whisper, "You have just earned a great deal of my respect, sir." to Valthial.<br />
<br />
You whisper, "It is an honor to serve you.  Thank you for accepting my humble work." to Valthial.<br />
<br />
Valthial whispers, "All I'd ask in exchange is that.. to such an extent, you are my vixen, and a gracious servant, one I cherish.  That means my gracious servant, beholden to demands and to possessiveness, and I would be foremost in your affection here." to you.<br />
<br />
You page-pose, -mischan- to Valthial<br />
<br />
Selene nods obediently.  "Even as you say, Master."<br />
<br />
You page-pose, -mischan- to Valthial<br />
<br />
You page, "I'm sorry about the earlier pages.  I was talking with a friend earlier and got my commands wrong.  From now on I'll try to only talk to other friends when I'm Vusty, not Selene." to Valthial.<br />
<br />
Selene blushes and looks away, ashamed at her misattention.<br />
<br />
Valthial says, "One important detail.. one I'd be remiss in addressing, with the vulpine I treasure so, and one that will make such a wondrous addition to my trove."  His wing aligns vertically with the svelte rise of your spine, feathers flocking about your tailbase, interspersed with the luxurious plume of your tail.  "To keep you at your most presentable, I'd need bathe and groom you regularly, yes?"<br />
<br />
Selene nods obediently, still flushed at her rude behavior.  "Yes, sir."  The words remind her of the milk and tea in her fur, and she turns thoughtful.<br />
<br />
Selene bows her head low.  "Please forgive me, but I have to give something to my brother and will be idle for a moment.  I will be back very shortly . . "<br />
<br />
Valthial deliberates on that a bit.  "For now, I'd not ask you for .. grooming in return, as that might be... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ not at all random<br /><br /><strong>Mood</strong>: <img style="vertical-align: middle" src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/meditate.gif" alt="Meditative / Reflective" title="Meditative / Reflective" /> I am not<br /><br />I'm not a 'real' sub.  I don't mind doing disgusting yet productive chores but I don't get off on being humiliated just to be humiliated.  I don't mind humbling myself but I won't call myself less than I am.  I like a little pain but I can't stand being abused by someone who doesn't care about me at all.  I enjoy serving but it's rarely anything like foreplay for me.  I'm a human, with a soul, not just a tool.  I won't bind myself to anyone who's cruel to animals - how would they see me, their slave?<br />
<br />
I like bondage but it's not enough to get me wet.  I'm attracted to doms but won't give myself up to just anyone who would claim me.  I wouldn't dom anyone else but still dom myself.<br />
<br />
I have pride and I will not be helpless before anyone but my life/soulmate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How do I explain that to people who think being a sub is ALWAYS about sex, or about not wanting to make your own decisions?  I want to give myself to someone, not be taken by whoever's strong enough to keep me.  I want to be submissive because I choose to, not because I have to.  Not because I can't help it.<br />
<br />
I'm a gift.  A blessing.  Not a prize or a trophy.<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm a sub.  I'm just not what you think I am, what you think all subs must be.<br />
<br />
I'm not easily swayed, I owe no favors to you, I am not weak-willed or -minded.  It is NOT just a matter of time and you will NOT get any more from me than friendship or non-sexual service - both if you're lucky.<br />
<br />
And dammit, I'll fight for the right to choose who I give myself to, when, and why.  I will not be taken advantage of.<br />
<br />
I AM NOT HELPLESS.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ (much homework to do; ignore the remains of the mental breakdown, we've nearly got that cleaned up.)<br /><br /><strong>Mood</strong>: <img style="vertical-align: middle" src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sleepy.gif" alt="Tired" title="Tired" /> tiredy<br /><br />I got tagged by ~<a class="u" href="http://puffsgain.deviantart.com/">puffsgain</a> right after hearing:  "ohhh, pms.  I was *wondering* if your head was screwed on straight."<br />
<br />
I know I'm bitchy. Leave me alone.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.<br />
bad cat: 244 not-so-pretty kitties and cats gone bad "HOBBY: Helping little old Chihuahuas cross the street<br />
<br />
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can.<br />
Air, wet towel.<br />
<br />
3.What is the last thing you watched on TV?<br />
Ummm . . some random movie playing in the cafeteria? haven't sat down to watch TV since New Years . .<br />
<br />
4.Without looking, guess what time it is:<br />
7:45 PM<br />
<br />
5.Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?<br />
19:33:42<br />
<br />
6.With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?<br />
the fan; roomie typing a little, singing to herself.<br />
<br />
7.When did you last step outside? What were you doing?<br />
I just left the school pool on the way back to this dorm . . and then I came in here. yay<br />
<br />
8.Before you started this survey, what did you look at?<br />
my comments/my notes<br />
<br />

10.Did you dream last night?<br />
Hum, I don't remember.<br />
<br />
11. When did you last laugh?<br />
In the pool today.<br />
<br />
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?<br />
Hmm . . roomie's Beatles poster, oriental tiger wallscroll and a few other tiny things . . man she needs to put the rest of her stuff up XD our room looks so bare.  Not that I have anything to contribute.  My Bionicle posters disintegrated long ago.<br />
<br />
13. Seen anything weird lately?<br />
A friend of mine has very thick, frizzy hair (yum) . .but in the pool, it turns into a 60s haircut!  Whoo Dr. McCoy!<br />
<br />
14. What do you think of this quiz?<br />
It's . . wow, it's actually cheered me up a bit.  Hmm.<br />

<br />
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics:<br />
Mrr.  Hard to choose.Some stuff is just not for me to change.  It would be wrong of me to, even if I had the power.  I can't just pretend that there'd be no consequences and no guilt, either.  So . . um . . better restructuring of politics and economy so that food was actually spread out pretty evenly among the world's inhabitants?<br />

<br />
25. 4 people who must also do this in THEIR journal:<br />
<br />
Hrmmm . . uh . . gosh I'm brain-dead.  Uhh, if he won't kill me and hasn't been tagged yet, then ~<a class="u" href="http://gaff1229.deviantart.com/">Gaff1229</a>.

<br />
Would the best thing for him be . . for me to leave him alone?<br />
maybe I'm not good for him/all I know is how to be selfish/does he really want to be with me?<br />
or does he just want a warm body/heaven knows I feel that need/I don't want us to settle for a relationship of convenience.<br />
<br />
We deserve more than that.<br />
<br />
Should I leave him alone? 'give him time'? even if that means that I can never have him, on any terms?  Forever just good friends . .<br />
<br />
What does it say if the only terms I can have him on are 'you feel good'?<br />
<br />
Maybe I'm just not the one . . no matter what I do or say or be . . just not the one for him. .<br />
<br />
(don't say I'm bad for him - don't say I'm bad for him - don't say I'm bad for him - I'll stop if I'm bad for him-)<br />
<br />
I'm paranoid.<br />
<br />
And maybe I'm right.<br />
<br />
<br />
-<br />
--<br />
---<br />
<br />
I'll be glad when my pills arrive.<br />
<br />
--edit--<br />
<br />
I think maybe I know what I should do.<br />
<br />
Sorta.  Maybe kinda.  It came to me while i was in the shower.  'Blindingly simple' I guess but still a bit new to me.<br />
<br />
I'm afraid I can't/aren't(? bad grammar, bad!) giving him what he needs.  SO, duh, give him what he needs.  If I'm not good for him right now, then I'll change.  Not the essence of who I am, but my actions . .  what I do for him . .<br />
<br />
Instead of being all touchy-feely and stuff (though heaven knows we both crave touch)  I'll focus more on being there for him, suppressing my annoying instinct to interrupt people (including him), mastering my attention span so I can actually listen without going off into space, get more involved in his projects/ideas (though I think he likes doing them himself . . but at least I can show interest, like I am already . . only more so?), and generally try to be less self-absorbed . .   I need to LOVE him more than just LIKE him . .<br />
<br />
dang, that'll take a lot of work - without the pills I'm bitchy and egotistical and with them I'm distracted and - what's the word? fickle? whimsical? easily blown about? scatterbrained?  yeah . .  but it's worth it!  I may have been letting myself slack off for myself, when I was the only one who was likely to get hurt much, but . . he's my friend . . and I really should shape up for him.  Even more so if we're ever more than friends.<br />
<br />
And if he still won't really love me for me, but just for the physical chemistry we have?  well that's okay . . I mean it hurts and I'll be sad but it's still okay . . I don't want him to just settle for someone who likes him a lot.  Even someone who loves him.  He should have someone he really loves.<br />
<br />
And maybe, after him, if we don't work out . . maybe I'll finally be mature enough to love whoever I *am* meant for . .<br />
<br />
ack.   Too early in the morn to be up thinking about this stuff <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />  Off to bed with me . .<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
used the search feature to look for 'tribal wolf' stuff for a friend.  Found a lot of cool things.  faved some.  Usually I go through each artist's gallery and more often than not I end up watching them, but this time I just faved cool things.  Maybe when I have time I'll go through and look at their galleries . .<br />
<br />

Not the kind of poem I usually like - nice, regular verse - but more like something out of Proverbs.  Paired and tripled lines, or something . .I dunno.<br />
<br />
I feel empty lately.  The pain actually makes me feel alive, even if it makes me feel like more of a heel that I don't feel it more.<br />

DaMom: I just wanted to let you know that baby died during the night....<br />
DaMom: but at least I tried all I could and I know he knew I loved him<br />
RouJoumis: *hugs*<br />
RouJoumis: I dreamed that I was with you<br />
RouJoumis: and I was so upset when I woke up and realized I wasn't<br />
RouJoumis: I'm glad you were able to be with him<br />
RouJoumis: and not be too hysterical to take care of him<br />
RouJoumis: Just remember . . I'm sure almost every breeder has been through this<br />
RouJoumis: and unlike a lot of them . . you still put the rabbits ahead of the business<br />
RouJoumis: even though it hurts<br />
RouJoumis: I love you<br />

I've been re-watching a lot of people that I stopped watching.  Now that I have a subscription, it will hopefully be easier to keep track of so many people <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Today I have to:<br />
<br />
Memorize scene for Acting II<br />
Contact Jackson so we can practice for Acting II<br />
Read Antigone for Script Analysis<br />
Read the next chapter for Object-Oriented Programming<br />
<br />
<br />
This week I have to:<br />
<br />
Read the next chapter in history before the reading quiz on Thursday<br />
<br />
<br />
Stuff I'd like to/ought to do this week, but that is mostly optional:<br />
<br />
Practice the Japanese I learned on Friday; practice writing my name in katakana<br />
Read M. Butterfly for the eventual project in Script Anal. . .<br />
clean room<br />
do extra programming, getting more used to VB .NET<br />
start going through Drawing For Dummies (yay Christmas gift!)<br />
shower 0.0<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So . .what do I do when I first get up?  I start going through DA <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  I should probably get to work on that scene for Acting now . . <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

This included an old motherboard from my bro. (Well .. 'old' compared to the brand-spankin'-new one he just assembled.)  <br />
<br />
Along with the motherboard came some CDs of drivers etc. that were originally on the computer.  Yesterday I finally got around to sticking in CD 2 - APPLICATiON -- ALREADY INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER.  I browsed around, installed the various anitviral programs, and then lo and behold I saw PAINT SHOP PRO v.8!! (cue hallelujah chorus)<br />
<br />
I love PSP <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  Unfortunately, several computers back I lost the only copy I had (which I got from my Dad anyway).  So I was ecstatic to finally have a copy again.  It turns out that it's only a 60-day trial, but hey, 60 days of a GOOD drawing program . . . buh-bye, MSPaint!<br />
<br />
Still don't have a lot of skill but at least I have l33t 4pp5 for my not-so-m4d ski77s. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Anyway.  Having fun . . *ish content*<br />
<br />
~~<br />
<br />
Random note . . . 'fake friends'?<br />
<br />
I'll admit, I don't read most of the journals that my 'friends' write.  I watch over a hundred friends.  And I don't watch them because I want to know everything that goes on in their life . . I watch them because they draw kickass art.  If the subject looks interesting, I'll read the journal.  If they're someone I *really* admire, I might read the journal.  Otherwise . . sorry, but I'm too busy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" />  I mean honestly, how many people are going to read THIS journal?  Damn few if any.  And that's fine with me.<br />
<br />
I have to say, also:  'write a journal entry with 'fake friends' in the subject or I'll delete you' . . . isn't the point to see who's 'paying attention'?  Doesn't that suggest you should be paying attention too?  And yet you can't be bothered to read journals yourself . . you will only look at the titles, like me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />  I didn't agree with the main point anyways, but this sorta just undermines it - going for immediately visible response over substance.  How about 'note me if you agree/disagree' or 'write a journal entry about it (without worrying about a hotphrase subject title)' or something . . grr . . arggh  . . Who started this thing and why?? Are they really upset that people are watching them without reading journals?  And who would be lame enough to watch someone just to LOOK like they have friends??  If they're that lame then who cares . . having a lot of people watch you doesn't put any pressure on YOU, just on the WATCHERS . . grr . .<br />
<br />
*sigh* sorry, irrationally ranting now . . off my soapbox I get (before I turn all bitchy and bite heads off for no apparent reason!)<br />

Back to college in a week.  I'm not even registered for this semester yet.  I have a ton of laundry to do, things to pack, courses to pick out (after the financial aid office removes its hold on my account), and a schedule to get back into . . .<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ . . . but I'm almost down to 4500 unviewed deviations.  <br />
<br />
I've been picking one dev at a time and totally catching up with their gallery, then just marking everything in devwatch with their name on it.  So a lot of those 4500 are probably things I've already seen . . I just can't get to them to mark them, until I deal with the 100 deviations at the end of the list XP<br />
<br />
Tired now and have headache.  Will leave the rest for yet another day. . . and the day after that . .<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ tried to start clearing out some of my favorites . . oy. taking forever.<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving break starts tomorrow, and my comp isn't coming with me.  Probably won't be on for a bit (but then when am I ever on?)<br />
<br />
after favorites, it's time to start narrowing down my devwatched artists . . and then actually check out the deviations that I haven't looked at yet . .<br />
<br />
-tiredandsucky<br />
<br />
~UPDATE~<br />
<br />
with a few (mostly random) exceptions, I'm un-watching everyone who doesn't watch me.  Hopefully this will keep those 5749 unviewed deviations from doubling while I'm away.<br />
<br />
Later when I have more time I will go through my favorites and re-fav those artists that I just MUST watch. . . but for now I ish tired and uncaring. ]]></description>

<br />
I told him that he belonged to me, and  I belonged to him.  And that was a  really nice feeling.<br />
<br />
He stood next to me and caressed my  cheek.  I reached out and ran my  fingers through his hair.<br />
<br />
He was speaking to me, and his voice  sounded like music, like a beautiful  song of affection and desire.  I could  feel his breathing, in and out, as he  leaned against me.  I ran my hands  along the silk of his body.<br />
<br />
He murmered soft approval.  Then,  without explanation, he turned and  walked away.<br />
<br />
Oh well.  Stupid cat.  Didn't need him  anyway. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Here's the big ol' list of people I  currently watch.  This is basically  everyone I've EVER watched.  Lots and  lots o' people. 199 people.<br />
<br />
I'm about to start narrowing down this  list.<br />
<br />
Actually, THIS list will stay the same.   It'll be the great big list of people  I thought were worth watching.  The  problem is, see, I've only got so much  time.  So the people I ACTUALLY watch  will be less than the people I think  are WORTH watching.  If that makes  sense.<br />
<br />
I'm about to clear out my list of  deviations people have done, and start  over fresh.  I just don't have the time  to go through 1,687 message centre  items.  <br />
<br />
I'll go through later and add dev tags  to this list.  Right now I'm just  getting it out there.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Sick.<br />
<br />
Sorry I haven't been on DA in, like,  forever.  I haven't read/posted  anything in . . . I dunno, a month?   feels like.  No excuse, just been  caught up in other things.  (apparently  I'm a semi-decent roleplayer.)  Don't  know when I'll really be back.   Hopefully soon.<br />
<br />
I'm planning to do a little bit of  writing soon, hopefully I can find my  outline of Existence and put up a few  more chapters . . .<br />
<br />
right now I'm going to go lay down and  get some sleep.  Hopefully.<br />
<br />
Someone alert the National Guard.   General Malaise is revolting.<br />
<br />
(. . .  afterthought: today my favorite  words seem to be 'hopefully' and  'soon'.  Not a good sign.) ]]></description>

<br />
On the bright side, Dad's computer is  great for playing DVDs.  Hehe.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My family has been house-hunting.  We  tried to buy the house we're living in  but our landlord was being a little  unreasonable.  Oh well.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we all went and looked at a  house.  This certainly wasn't the first  one we've looked at, but it was one  that kept Mom coming back to the  listing.  We didn't look at it sooner  'cause she thought it might be too  expensive.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we got there and absolutely  loved the house.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we put an offer on the house.<br />
<br />
Yesterday they accepted the offer.<br />
<br />
A lot happened very quickly yesterday.<br />
<br />
Recently, Dad got a promotion (and  corresponding raise).  Also everyone in  the shop is getting a bonus.  Plus, I  may be taking on *gulp shiver* a  tutoring job.  So a lot has been  happening lately . . . at least it  seems like a lot to me, who doesn't  like change.<br />
<br />
I'm half-waiting for the other shoe to  drop.<br />
<br />
Plus I'm impatient for May to roll  around, so we can start moving in to  our new house . . .<br />
<br />
OUR new house.  The first house we've  ever owned.  It'll be nice . . . <br />
<br />
<br />

Yesterday . . . <br />
All our troubles seemed so far away!<br />
And it seemed that was how it would  stay<br />
Oh how I long for<br />
Yesterday . . . ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm drowning, I'm drowning!<br />
<br />
I'm consistently running about 2 days  behind on reading journals, and about a  week (in some cases more) behind on  viewing deviations . . . eesh . . . I  ish so behind . . .<br />
<br />
It doesn't help that I'm afraid to look  at club submissions because I'm afraid  I'll see another rocking artist and  have to go look at an awesome gallery  with over 200+ items, 50 of which I  must fave because they are so cool,  which means I'll be another hour behind  on clearing my devwatch list . . .  *sigh*  I just love cool art too much,  and don't have enough time *stupid slow  machine!!!*  Or maybe it's just that  I'm scatterbrained.  Nah, couldn't be  that . . . <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
off to look at houses w/Mom and Dad -  be back later, not that you'll see me .  . .<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Just spent almost an hour and a half  looking for a copy of Chef's Chocolate  Salty Balls.<br />
<br />
Finally found it.<br />
<br />
Played it for my dad, who has never  heard it before. (that's why I was  searching.)<br />
<br />
He just about fell over laughing.  I  think his face actually turned red from  lack of oxygen.<br />
<br />
He insisted I email it to him at work.<br />
<br />
Basically, he really enjoyed it . . . <br />
<br />
eh, it was worth the 90 minutes of  frustration.<br />
<br />
Life is good.<br />
