Just thought I'd let y'all know I'm not dead.

(and totally take advantage of being able to use Journal skins. imma savor it while it lasts. <3)

Anyways, it's been killing me how little I write anymore. But I just can't find myself as inspired in the middle of my classes as I did last year. I've been working off-and-on on a piece for a while, but it's still not quite finished yet. I do love the characters, but I can't tell if it's too blah for anyone who's not me... I'll upload it when it's done and you can let me know.

I'd also like to work on some character development stuff, too, but that all depends on what strikes me at the moment.

Oh! I've just recalled that I also started a piece for another character. Not sure how much of that I actually finished, though. Have to check.

Anyways.... whatev.

i had no idea things were this bad. you hear about it, but brush it off, 'cause, really, it's the other side of the world. then there are those amazing people who show you that it doesn't matter how far away it is, these people still need our help.

i know most of my watchers are either lacking financially or minors, so if you can't make any physical contributions, than please share some love and say a little prayer (or whatever your equivalent might be).

(ps. i'm not remotely amused, but the mood thing is refusing to load again.)

A. Got my nose pierced today. Tiny blue nose stud, titanium so it won't bug my skin like metals usually do. Looks pretty kick ass, I must say. Now, if I can just pull it off with my Catholic school's strict dress code...

B. A few months ago, my pseudo-uncle bought me a Wacom tablet at Goodwill for $7.99. He was worried about finding software for it. My sister's friend Salice (~Salice-is-an-idiot) showed me that it's an easy download. So, now I've got a functioning tablet! <33 Now if I could only figure out how to work it...

2)Tag seven people that you would like to learn something about.

3)Put it in a journal and see what kind of weird junk you learn about your friends!

---------------------------------------------------------

1) I hate cheesesticks, but I eat them almost every morning.

2) I took fifth grade twice. She was a really hard teacher. I have easier ones in my Private Catholic high school.

3) I think British movies are almost always better than American.

4) Most of the time, I'd rather read a children's book than an adult book.

5) I have this ugly callus on my big toe.

6) I covered my window with a random piece of fabric so less light would come through and I could sleep in later.

7) I got a summer job babysitting my cousin 4 days a week for my aunt.

8) My dog and I have a love-hate relationship.

9) I have Gaspard Ulliel as my wallpaper right now. So does my sister ~emby-masterofdoom. He's a French actor.

Well...

I wish I could say what I'm feeling right now, but sometimes the words that sounds so eloquent in my head come out muttled and wrong. Sometimes it's easier to just feel and not speak.

Not that I'm feeling all emo again. If I puked my emotions out onto the keyboard, all you'd get are little bits of these last few weeks, too small and fragmented to make much sense.

12 days of school left.

I need to sleep.

Today, I started a bio for a character and got both appearance and personality done, which is quite a feat for me, 'cause I usually procrastinate those two until last minute.

Off the topic of writing, I stayed home sick today. Randomly puked last night then woke up this morning with my throat hurting more than yesterday. I turned my alarm off without even thinking. xD

My throat still hurts, but it ought to be alright in the morning. I'm trying to take as little medication as possible 'cause I'm giving blood on Wednesday.

Yay, tomorrow's latestart! <333

Btw, I thought up a neat storyline today while I was cleaning my bedroom. (so you know, I only cleaned it because i couldn't find any of the clothes i've been wanting to wear.) Perhaps I'll type up a quick summary of it before I meander off to bed.

]]> ~windwingdark er, yeah. http://windwingdark.deviantart.com/journal/24487918/ http://windwingdark.deviantart.com/journal/24487918/ Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:22:56 PDT
It's been posts here and there, finishing bios, and parts of other things for a while. I slack on Fridays sometimes, but usually I keep up pretty well.

So... You've probably already seen today's product.

May seem awkward, but I'm surprisingly okay with letting my teenage mind (always in the gutter) spew out what it's actually thinking for once.

I really like this set of characters. They're pretty fun. I still need to think up a name for Raff's brother, whom Tango is totally in love with. x3 Clara's odd relationship with Raff is pretty cute as well. I think Elaine may eventually end up with Luke, but only if he whips himself into proper manners first.

83 I luff them all already.

For the most part, it will end up being roleplaying posts or little poems, but it will help me learn to inspire muse on my own, instead of waiting for it to come.

I came to this conclusion yesterday. I've decided to keep track of it all in my Journals. So if you don't really read these, best alter your Watcher settings so you won't be bogged down by my Journals every few days.

Yesterday (Monday, April 13):
I started on a Warriors fanfiction I've been wanting to write for years. I know fanfictions are pretty stupid, but I do like writing them. Sometimes it's nice to sit down and write something where the rules are already all set up for you. Plus, I love making up all the extra characters. This one currently lacks a title, but is about four young cats from each of the clans (the original four clans, but with different cats) who are pulled together by a desire to bring peace to their warring forest.

Rosepaw is a sweet-tempered ThunderClanner who worries only for the health of her illness-ridden clan. Spiderpaw, a wiry and intelligent RiverClan apprentice, is driven by an intense longing to untarnish RiverClan's honor from a dark leader who was banished before he was born. Smokefeather is the apprentice of the WindClan medicine cat. He is torn between what his leader orders him to do, and the path his heart longs to follow. Icerose is a ShadowClanner with more loyalty than all the rest. All she wants is to see ShadowClan strive. But that's becoming very difficult as her elderly leader Littlestar decends further and further into maddness. Together, the four of them want only to bring peace back to the forest, even if it costs each of them more than they had ever imagined.

Got about half of the first chapter done. (which really isn't saying much, because it's a short chapter.) Is anyone vaguely interested in me uploading this on dA? If not, I'll just hang on to it all for now.

Today (Tuesday, April 14):

I'm really tired, and I've spent all afternoon actually doing my homework (besides a break to watch some Avatar). So today's work kind of reflects my exhaustion.

I'll just put it here; it's very short...

He took a feeble step back, his heel brushing the edge. He could feel his heartbeat pounding heavily in his ears. This was it. He was staring into the face of what could have very well been the end.

And it was.

The great creature leaped forward, and both man and beast fell backwards into the abyss.

You're thinking, "WHAT?! Wtf?" And all I have to say is...

PRECISELY.

P.S. I'm back to eating meat. It's the most glorious thing EVAR.

P.p.s. I missed Fringe. T^T

His name is Logan. He's incredibly skinny, pale, sweet, quiet, with a hint of sarcasm. (Similar to Elan, only quieter and slightly less sarcastic.) Her name is Anna. She's shy, quiet, beautiful, with green eyes and a laugh like angel's bells.

It's one of those pairings that only takes a post or two to recognize. They just click.

It was just like this for Elan and Alee. Where you just know they're sooo perfect for each other.

These two are off a site called The Island. It's a roleplay where everyone wakes up suddenly on this strange island with the ability to change into an animal. Logan turns into a black fox and Anna into a white tiger. It's pretty amazing. Only the site's pretty dead right now. Anna's roleplayer ~THE-SKYE-IS-FALLING and I are the only ones who've posted since early November.

Got wisdom teeth out. Surprisingly conscious.

I'll be hungry again once I can feel my lips again...

EDIT:

Yesterday was surprisingly nice for having my teeth taken out. My mom came over and kept me company while my dad was off teaching a class. And when he went to his soccer practice, my step-sister ~emby-masterofdoom came over and watched movies with me.

I did get sick yesterday afternoon, though. My mom has a history of bad reactions to multiple pain medications, including the one I was given. So, of course, my pain meds made me sick, too. So I started taking Tylenol instead and started feeling much better.

My dad got me this great chocolate ice cream... It's sooo good. And it helps my gums feel better.

This morning, I'm mostly just sore. Can't open my jaw very far at all.

No, you didn't read that wrong. I didn't say mice, or rats, or even spiders. I said moose.

There was one outside my house last night and I FREAKED. Well, tonight I've been hearing sounds like I heard last night when the moose ran into my house (yeah, I know, WTF?!). I've been shaking rather uncontrollably.

It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't home alone...

-headdesk- I am sooo completely irrational. The only upside is that it's moose not something else. After all, it's not like you end up finding moose on your ceilings very often or hiding under your couches.

Rules: Once youÂve been tagged, you are supposed to write a journal with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged (or anyone really). If I tagged you, itÂs because I want to know more about you.

1. I'm going to major in English, but I'm probably failing my Honors English III class... (Damn you, quotation responses!)

2. I religiously hate Frodo Baggins. But only movie-Frodo. Book-Frodo I can stand.

3. It bugs me when my room is clean. It doesn't feel like my room unless there's a ton of crap on the floor. (like my backpack, an' my boots, an' my slippers, an' an empty box, an'...)

4. I didn't know what my favorite color was until I painted my walls. Now I've got two favorites. One a soft, pale teal (it's like seafoam+grey) and the other an obnoxious, bright teal. Half my bedroom is one color and half is the other color. They balance each other out.

5. I stopped using the laptop bag my grandmother gave me because the shoulder strap broke. My friend said she might give me her old bag when she gets a new one. It doesn't have a shoulder strap either. (BUT IT'S AMAZING! It's like Indiana Jones the briefcase!)

6. I have a perfectly good laptop in front of me, but I still google things on my iPod.

7. My dad actually remembered that I love Pocky. He got me some for Christmas.

8. I still believe in Santa. (Y'know, in a strange metaphorical way.)

9. I forgot to feed my cats.

10. The litterbox needs changing, too.

11. My ideal job would be working for Scholastic, Firebird, or Harper Collins (all publishing companies).

12. I don't know what day I go back to school. Could be in two days. Could be longer.

13. I have a list of sisters that aren't actually my sisters. (I have no biological sisters.) I periodically add some to the list, but I never take anyone off.

14. My nose hurts. I think I'm getting sick.

15. I used to hate Panic! At the Disco for their immature and strange lyrics, but now I hypocritically like them.

16. My brand-new underwear are already laying on the floor. I didn't even have to wear them!

I TAG:

So, my Christmas wasn't bad. I pretty much got exactly what I asked for.

- $30 to the mall
- $40 to Penny's
- an iPod Touch <33
- a blow dryer
- a curling iron
- an electric razor (heh heh)
- pink bunny slippers <33
- a magazine on altered clothing
- three sewing bags
- a case for my sewing machine
- three long-sleeved shirts
- socks
- a cute sweater that looks exactly like the one my sister already has x3
- earrings with fish on them <333
And some candy, of course. Nothin' too big (chocolate, Pocky, Sandie's Shortbread Pecan cookies, and ginger cookies).

All in all, that's a pretty nice haul. I didn't get any money to the bookstore, though. But that's okay, because ~emby-masterofdoom probably did, and I can just... "borrow" her new books. xD

How was your Christmas?

EDIT:

Forgot to mention that my house is covered in three to four feet of snow. In the backyard, you can only see about six inches of our four-foot fences.

My dad's been plowing, so he uses the plow to do our driveway. So we have these huge snow berms right outside our front door. My brother and I are gonna go play in them. And walk the mile to the Albertson's nearby. Just for the hell of it.

Pretty much all of the city is trapped at home. It started snowing last Wednesday(the one before Christmas Eve) at about 8 o'clock in the morning. By the time we left school, there was nearly a foot on the ground. Because almost no streets had been plowed, a lot of the city shut down and school was canceled for the next two days. If people didn't have four-wheel-drive and a large car, they'd get stuck. So there were a few days of random cars stuck on the side of the road.

Well it hasn't really stopped snowing since. Last night we got about another three inches. People are still getting stuck, but the city's coping. With the constant snow, they scarcely have time to keep the arterials plowed. The side streets are lucky if they get plowed every few days. Up where my mom lives, her car keeps getting plowed in whenever they plow the street.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know I'm livin' in the frickin' North Pole now. <33

]]> ~windwingdark Holiday Wishlist http://windwingdark.deviantart.com/journal/21721990/ http://windwingdark.deviantart.com/journal/21721990/ Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:26:42 PST THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.

STEP ONE

** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

** If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

** Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!

STEP TWO

** Surf around your friend list to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

** If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

** You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

NOW LET'S SEE IT!

1. a new icon. i'd like a simple spoon with a transparent background.

I feel like blaring my music and dancing around the house right now...

Why can't I just stay happy all the time?

So, basically, you have the entire month of November (midnight morning the first to midnight the thirtieth) to write a 50,000 word novel (aprox. 175 pages).

Sometimes I think, "Oh, that won't be too hard." But then I really think about it. It's gonna be DAMN HARD. To follow the rules correctly, I can't even brainstorm or draw out plot outlines until the first. Lucky for me, I already have a good amount of stories saved up; all I have to do is pick one on the first and outline it.

The hardest part will probably be not looking back on my work. It's a month of quantity, not quality. So, if I succeed, I'll probably take much of December and January to revise, edit, and rewrite damn near everything. (Yes, I'm terribly harsh on my own works.)

How can you help me? Minor encouragement would be nice, especially when I'm down and about to give up ('cause God knows I will). But, better yet, I'd like to know if anyone else is doing it, too. It'd be really nice to have someone to at least share the strain with. To know I'm not the only one struggling. And, of course, to get advice from them on how they're managing. I'm sure the NaNo WriMo sight has something like that, but it'd be a ton more help if I at least kinda knew the person beforehand.

-shrug- If I don't know anyone who's done it before, I'll tell all my teachers and friends about it so they can egg me on as well. Face to face encouragement goes much further than digital encouragement, no offense guys.

Too bad I have 22 days to dread the torture and admire the brilliance of the month before me... The days leading up to it are probably gonna be worse than actually doing it.

B. You ever just felt like dying? Like a day couldn't possibly get any worse, any crappier... Like you just wanna curl up and cry. I felt like that today. I was really stupid and I let something really insignificant stand between me and a friend. Totally left me on the verge of tears literally all day.

C. Any'a you guys watch the new show "Fringe"? Totally frickin' awesome. (BTW, I've been saying "frickin' awesome" a ton lately.)

D. Trying to work on some more photo-manips. Someone finally explained patterns to me...

E. I feel like crap, I wanna sleep, and, chances are, I'm gonna end up with a cold, but my dad is still making me go out and pull weeds. Does he realize it's FRICKIN' OCTOBER??? They're gonna die soon anyways...

F. Telly-chan says hi. Originally male, Telly's gender has slowly changed to female. But, yup, still named Telly (after Telemacus of the Odyssey).

I've found myself pondering them for about a year now. The topic has circulated dA, bringing interesting conversations and enlightening moments to various people, myself included.

For those of you who haven't yet been struck by the concept, here's some info I copied and pasted from Wiki:
A dÃ¦mon (pronounced like "demon", but is unrelated) is a manifestation of a person's soul in the Philip Pullman trilogy His Dark Materials. In those universes with physical dÃ¦mons, they exist external to the human in the form of animals representative of the person's personality, although children's dÃ¦mons may change form at whim. The bond between dÃ¦mon and human is intimate, and dÃ¦mons must remain within a small distance of their human (with the exception of witches); contact between a person and another person's dÃ¦mon is taboo, although dÃ¦mons may touch each other. More info here.

The theory is that even we have dÃ¦mons. As explained in the second book of the trilogy, ours are merely internal. Ever had a conversation with yourself? Ever heard the phrase "body, mind, and soul"? It has been debated by several parties that we are made up of three parts: a body, a soul, and a spirit.

The biggest fad concerning the topic that has hit dA is "discovering" your dÃ¦mon. DÃ¦mons have names and generally their own personalities (although some are very similar to their "person").

For example, my dÃ¦mon is a male lynx(/bobcat, we're not sure 'bout species just yet) by the name of Phosphir(Phos for short). He's alot more independant and outgoing than I am. You can truely see him when I'm with my DI team, forcibly making myself the leader. Where I'm a tad more passive, he's very agressive.

I often "see" Phosphir with me throughout my day, riding on my lap in the car, laying on the floor next to me when we're bored in Mr. Labelle's Church History class. Perhaps it's so easy for me to envision my dÃ¦mon with my at all times because he's so small. I cannot imagine trying to see your grizzly bear dÃ¦mon following you through the halls at school.

So, being bored, I'd like to know what any of my watcher's think. (I know you all usually ignore my Journals, but I'd really like to see you respond.) Do you so much as think the theory's plausible? Have you "discovered" your dÃ¦mon? Has yours settled(taken a definite form)? I love knowing people's dÃ¦mons because it makes it easier to get to know them.

(P.S. The "Ã¦" symbol is formed by alt+0230.)

(P.P.S Is it just me, or is the Mood thing not working?)

-----------------------------------------------------

In other news, here's a survey thing I got from

Five things about you that nobody knows:
1. Sorry, Yanni, but I do think Orlando Bloom is kinda cute in a blonde wig. x3
2. I wish something bad would happen to me. Whether it be a broken bone(never broken one yet) or just falling off something or whatever. I'm too much of a coward to purposely hurt myself, but physical pain would still release some of the emotional pain that still bubbles up inside me.
3. My own mother thinks I might be gay. And all because I don't show much interest in guys. What she doesn't understand is that it's her own doing. With two divorces (going on three, it seems) in the lives of my parentals, I won't take the time to get to know a guy unless I can see the relationship actually succeeding in the slightest. What's worse, I do sometimes doubt my sexuality. But, then I look at some hot, shirtless guy and all doubts go out the window.
4. I literally have dreams about finding my "one true love". Y'know, the guy I'll happily spend the rest of my life with. And I actually believe them. He'll find me someday, one way or another.
5. I call myself a Christian, but I don't really believe in Jesus. I'm a firm supporter in his teachings, but I doubt the guy himself is as big as everyone makes him out to be.

Five fandoms you are into:
1) Avatar: The Last Airbender
2) Warriors
3) Harry Potter
4) The Golden Compass. I only really liked the first book, but I absolutely love the concept of dÃ¦mons.
5) Nightmare Before Christmas

Five hobbies you've had in your life (and don't anymore):
1) Bedtime storytelling. I'd tell my sister this rather random story that I made up each day. Each night there was a new installment.
2) Gymnastics (in, like, kindergarten)
3) Pretending to be various animals or movie characters
4) Fanfictioning (I still do it on and off. Really don't have time anymore.)
5) Swinging. In fifth grade, we used to make up all these neat moves on the "big swings" of the playground. A year or so after I left the school, they tore them down.

Five songs that you cannot get out of your head:
1) "Why Can't I?" by Liz Phair
2) "I Miss You" by Blink 182
3) "If I Never See Your Face Again" by Maroon 5 ft. Rhianna
4) "Grace Kelly" by Mika
5) "Mad World" by Gary Jules

The five worst things that have happened to you in your life:
1) Divorce #1
2) Divorce #2
3) Self-pity. Gawd, this is the absolute worst and most useless human emotion. It holds me back all the time, whether anyone sees it or not.
4) Greff's death. He's a fictional character in nothing more than my mind, but understanding his death still weighs upon my like the death of a close friend.
5) Growing up. Loosing innocence. A truely bittersweet process.

Five of the most awesome things that have happened to you in your life:
1) Gaining my multiple extra families (from my step-siblings, to Blue, to the Lincolns, to DI)
2) Harry Potter. Sounds weird, but without the first book, I wouldn't have gotten into reading whatsoever, let alone writing.
3) WoodClan. I'd still be a horribly crappy writer if it weren't for this old Neopets guild. I owe them many great times as well.
4) Settling. Finally knowing who I am. Loosing the horrible achings of not even knowing what my favorite color is. (I still don't really know, but it's an okay sort of not knowing now.)
5) Finding my passion. Discovering my love for writing.

Five things you want to do in the next five years:
1) Go to Globals with DI.
2) Travel in Europe.
3) Fall in love. Even if it's the kind of love that only lasts a short period of time.
4) Write a book. Even if it's nowhere near publishing, so long as it's down.
5) Learn to be less clumsy. I break so many things 'cause I'm so clumsy... >.<

I'm gonna be soooo packed this next week. I have Monday and Tuesday to finish all of my costumes for SpoCon and my dress for my cousin's wedding. Then I'm housesitting my aunt's house Tuesday night. Wednesday, the DIers are getting together to clean up our workroom at school. Thursday night is a BBQ our DI coach is throwing. I'm spending that night at my friend Ana's house so I can go and help her and her parents set up for the Con bright and early. Then we've got the Con for a few days (late nights for the dances--both nights!--and fairly early mornings). That Sunday, I'm leaving the Con for a few hours to go with my mum while she gets her second tattoo. Then, back to the Con. And, possibly, we might leave that very night heading out of town. I won't be back until the 22nd...

Okay, on a totally less hectic note... I shun all people who never shop at thrift stores. Yestday, while at Value Village, we found these awesome pants in the men's section. Since men apparently don't have waists, we have to fix the waistband, but, other than that... I just found a TOTALLY awesome pair of pants for $25, only worn a few times tops, that would normally cost me $60-100 at Hot Topic (which is totally where they came from). So, yeah, those of you who don't shop at thrift stores could be missing out on some really neat stuff. Most of it's just crap, but you occasionally find something that is totally priceless! x3

-groan- Now I'm gonna go sleep 'cause my sinuses are giving me a killer headache... Bleh.

So I had that in my head as I pondered what in the world I could possibly want to do with my life. Writing was never an option; it's a lifestyle. But I've always understood that writing can't put food on the table all the time, especially with the family I know I'll have someday.

I was sitting in front of the TV today when I recalled what my parents used to tell me, just like any good parents tell their kids. "You can be anything you want to be." And it occured to me that I could.

I've always believed that you can do anything if you want it bad enough. Well... I've decided what I want.

I want to be an editor for a publishing company. I want to decide what manuscripts become books, not to mention help form that manuscript into a masterpiece that'll become the world's next big fad. And I've decided that I'll do whatever it takes. (To some moral extent, at least.) For the first time in my life, I really know what I want to do with myself.

The problem is, I don't know where to start.
Oh, well. Win some, lose some.

Anywhom, SpoCon is the weekend right before we leave. So I've got a list of things I've got to get done before I leave.

1. SpoCon costume. I won't tell you what it is, but I'll definitely post pictures when I get the chance.
2. TWO dresses-- one the black and red one I'm gonna wear at SpoCon, and the other a red and white polka-dot dress I'm wearing to the wedding.
3. Part of my friend's costume. I'm the only true sewer in our immediate group for the Con, so I'm helping with just about everyone's costumes. For this part, we're making her some pretty neat pants.

I have a collection of fabrics I've found in my grandmother's closet of fabricy-goodness. And I've finally found something to do with two of them. I've had this thin, cheap black cotton that I've been wanting to use for ages. This seems like a worthy use! x3

I'm putting together a bodice pattern that I've had for a while with a skirt I'm making all my own to make a cute red and black plaid dress. It'll be about knee length, with a somewhat-lowcut square neckline. The front pannel of the bodice will be the black, as will a V in the front of the skirt. I think it'll be fairly easy. If I'm lucky, I can get the bodice mostly done today. I might have to ride my bike to Walmart for ribbon, though. And shoelaces... (Ribbon goes along the neckline, black shoelaces for the lace-up back of the bodice.)

I'm so excited! x3 If it turns out anything like how I imagined it, this'll be a success.

I'll be sure to take pictures and upload them when I'm done. I'm planning on wearing it for the first day of SpoCon.

I thought of a neat site idea that would be a huge amount of work to undertake(which is probably why it'll never happen). It would be a fantasy site that allowed both humans and animals, so it would attract members from both sides of the spectrum. It would be based in the capital city of a fantasy kingdom. Talking animals live and work in the castle alongside the humans. There would be magic-users, knights, and various other jobs. You could roleplay as a child, teenager, or adult. As a high-ranking official, or a peasant. Staff member would even be allowed to play highl-magical animals such as unicorns.

The problem is, it would definitely need a website to get all of the species, occupations, ect worked out and organized so that things wouldn't get too out of hand. It would have to be a big site with lots of members in order to function much at all.

But, chances are, it'll never happen. I need to focus on the sites I've already got before I can even think of starting a new one.

But when do you have to give up? When do have to draw the line and just stop?

WOODCLAN LIVES!!!1!!!

It took literally months, but Cherry and I have it up and running. Here's our general idea for now:

There was once a time when the great walked among the normal and average. When kittypets could have the hearts of warriors more powerful that any clanborn cat. It was in that time that the clan of WoodClan came to be. Although its origins are desputed to this day, anyone who's heard anything about the clan knows that it was the she-cat Dawnstar that first led WoodClan to greatness. Under her leadership, and those of the leaders who followed her, warriors rose up with the power and heart to beat down any obsticle.

Welcome to a time when the golden era has been over for many, many generations. A time when the wonderous warriors that once walked the paths of modern WoodClan are little more than Legends. With such a great legacy laying behind them, it's nearly impossible to compare to any of the Legends. Where do you stand? Will you help WoodClan rise back up to the awesome greatness it once was?

But with such a high legacy behind them, WoodClan could never stay in peace forever. They'll need all the help they can get.

Check it out! [link]

:icon-achiru: and a few other people have instead done this with their own characters. AND IT LOOKS LIKE LOADS OF FUN! So, I decided to do it as well. This will compile of various characters from roundabout. (Although I'll try to avoid the animal characters.)

1. Azthail
2. Jay
3. Soar Blackfeather
4. Greff
5. Willow A. Frost
6. Scarlet Storm
7. Elan Naering
8. Firepaw of the Flames
9. Skye Lorence
10. Orion of the Riders

Then you answer the questions below by plugging in the person next to the respective number into the question. It's kind of long...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF...

1.Number 1 (Azthail) woke you up in the middle of the night?
I'd go: OMG What's wrong? Is there gonna be a battle?!

2. Number 2 (Jay) asked you to go out with him?
You poor soul. I know, I know you're lonely, but the one for you is out there, just waiting for you to find her!

3. Number 3 (Soar) walked into the bathroom while you're showering?
I'd blush crimson, while he tried to figure out what a shower is...

4. Number 4 (Greff) cooked you dinner?
I'd be suspicious... Greff, cooking? Either he wants something, or he's trying to kill me...

5. Number 5 (Willow) was lying next to you on the beach, sleeping?
Aww, she's so cute! Get a snapshot, then do something cruel to her, like cover her in sand... So it gets all over in her fur! (No, not an animal character. Shape-shifting.)

6. Number 8 (Firepaw) got into the hospital somehow?
-blinkblink- Umm... His friend Dag would heal him, then Firepaw would burn down his hospital room as vengance for that one mean nurse...

7. Number 9 (Skye) made fun of your friends?
Hmm... It depends. Is she mad at me? Otherwise, she's too nice to be very mean...

8. Number 10 (Orion) ignored you all the time?
Erm.... He acts any other way?

WHAT WOULD THEY DO UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES?

1. Two serial killers are hunting you down. What will Number 1 (Azthail) do?
Hire guards to watch my back every second of the day.

2. You're on a vacation with Number 2 (Jay) and you manage to break your leg. What does Number 2 do?
Make a temporary brace, set me up somewhere safe and comfortable and set out to get help.

3. It's your birthday. What will 3 (Soar) give you?
A long, beautiful black feather.

4. You're stuck in a house that's on fire. What does Number 4 (Greff) do?
Freak out. Maybe calm down enough to try and help, but mostly scream and run in circles.

5. You're about to do something that'll make you feel extremely embarrassed. What will Number 5 (Willow) do?
Laugh behind my back and set up a videocamera.

6. You're about to marry Number 10 (Orion). What's Number 6's (Scarlet) reaction?
Congratulate me and offer to help me find a nice wedding dress. (An offer I'd probably turn down... Might not, might though...)

7. You got dumped by someone. How will Number 7 (Elan) cheer you up?
Honey, he just has to walk in the room and I'm feelin' better already...

8. You're angry about it afterwards, how does Number 8 (Firepaw) calm you down?
Calm me down...? He's a fire elemental. He encourages me to go destroy and burn things down...

9. You compete in some tournament. How does Number 9 (Skye) support you?
Cheer me on, give me good luck. (Unlike Number 4 and Number 5, who would place bets against me.)

10. You can't stop laughing. What will Number 10 (Orion) do?
Give me a long stare and smack me over the head with something.

RELATIONSHIP PART

1. Number 1 (Azthail) is all you've ever dreamed of.
Erf... well, he is a king... But he's old. And married. And has a daughter older than me.

2. Number 2 (Jay) tells you about his/her deeply hidden love for Number 9 (Skye). Your reaction?
(First of all, this could actually happen.) Blow milk out my nose and tell him: Dude, I know you're lonely, but Skye's just not the girl for you...

3. You're dating Number 3 (Soar) and introduce him to your parents. Will they get along?
Soar would be very polite and respectful, but my parents would wig out. "Emily... Emily, he's got wings...."

4. Number 4 (Greff) loves Number 9 (Skye) as well. What does that mean?
It means that he'll die only days after they confess their love for eachother. She'll go totally emo and kill someone. (True story.)

5. Number 6 (Scarlet) appears to be a player, she breaks many hearts. What do you do?
Blow milk out my nose again, roll on the floor laughing, and tell everyone that if you believe that rumor, you've been listening to Nacht too much...

So, with nothing else to do and being the fan I am, I've been watching a ton of Avatar:TLA episodes on Anime-media.com... Which made me metamorphisis from a regular fan to a super-addicted glued-to-the-computer-screen sort of fan.

WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I KNOW THERE WAS A SPOILER TRAILER? It's got scenes from the season 3 remainder.
[And it makes the Zutara shipper in my squee in pure joy.]

B-but... July 14?
How exactly am I supposed to survive that long?

-headdesksobbing-

EDIT: So, it turns out the episode that comes out on the 14th of July is actually ONE I'VE ALREADY SEEN. -swearsmadly- Now I'll have to wait even longer!

All of my past summers, I've been perfectly satisfied laying around doing nothing, or, at least, this deadening boredom didn't hit until a month or two in...

I'VE GOT TO GET A JOB. There's nothing else for it...

My friend Ana and I are dying our hair. She's got pale blonde hair that she's dyin' hilighter orange. Literally. I've seen the dye she's probably gonna use.
My hair's been its natural medium curly brown for my entire life. I'm dying it black. I had already decided to do it black for SpoCon later this summer, but now I wanna do it earlier.

Hmm... they updated the Journal stuffs. Looks nice, very modern.

Otay... 'nough rambling...

p.s. I LIKE OATMEAL. Yup. 'Ve had it everyday since school got out. But I only like the kind from the tubey-thing so I can doctor it up on my own. x3

'Cause I'm trying to figure it out... AND IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE... When I think I've found something, I go to test it AN' IT DUN WORK... >.<

-angry grumble-

]]> ~windwingdark What do you think? http://windwingdark.deviantart.com/journal/18062672/ http://windwingdark.deviantart.com/journal/18062672/ Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:26:20 PDT I've been surfing through a bunch of random roleplay sites as of lately. Mostly just looking, which is actually really hard, because some of them are really interesting looking.

There were several that were very much original. And I could't help but wonder what more-original roleplay I could possibly do. So, more hyophetically speaking (although perhaps as a summer project), I was wondering which you all thought sounded best.

(Titles are all pending.)
High Skies
Deep in the forests of the magical world Anair, there lives a very peculiar group of beings. They are called Anclor which translates to "winged one." Quite simply, they are humans with wings. They live in tribe-like groups similar to those of historical Native Americans.

The site would include four separate tribes with differences in structure and wing-types, a collection of words that are the last known records of the Ancient Language (known only by the Anclor), and various mythical creatures that would spice things up quite a bit.

Up-sides: What's not cool about flying?
Down-sides: Alot of roleplayers like to roleplay young characters only, but this sort of site would need older characters as well.

The Blood House
For many, many centuries, the Nightshade family has ruled over their Coven from a brilliant mansion called "The Blood House." King Arroz Nightshade is the Coven's current King, a powerful and ancient vampire born of pure blood. Arroz's first-born son (named Terz) is born into a seat of very extreme power. But when his younger brother is born, Terz's birthright is suddenly torn from him and given to young Riven. Many years later, Terz can stand it no longer. He begins gathering followers around him in an attempt to steal back what is rightfully his.

The site would include several large vampire families, both born and bitten vampires, and plenty of opportunities for things to get a little rocky.

Up-sides: Plenty of canons, powerful characters, and fun young vampires dying for anything to spice up such terribly long lives.
Down-sides: It would include several of my own characters, and I worry that they wouldn't be roleplayed as I see them...

Anima Academy
In a world very parallel to our own, children are being born more and more often with their dÃ¦mons inside of them. As time progresses, there are less children with dÃ¦mons than there are without. The minority children have to have a school different from those a "normal" child can attend. Anima Academy is just that place. With wider hallways, specialized classes, and teachers that understand what it means to be different, the Academy prepares dÃ¦mian students for a world that no longer without physical souls.

Based of the His Dark Materials trilogy, the site would include both Settled and Unsettled students from ages 13-18, dorms separated by different dÃ¦mon forms, and all the drama that comes from having persecuted teenagers all under one roof.

Up-sides: Anything to do with dÃ¦mons is definitely an up-side.
Down-side: At least 5-7 adults would have to be roleplayed, which God knows current roleplayers seem to avoid.

Tree-Speak
Fifty years past, a magnificent magical kingdom fell. The castle that had been its capital was burned. Fortunately, most of the fires were put out before the entire building fell. It was renamed the Castle of the Ruins. Five decades after the horrible downfall, a group of people have made the castle their home. Without a lord to govern them, it is a small, mostly-peaceful community filled with many children. Out of the eyes of the adults, though, the children have their own community. The Children of the Ruins run about in a pack-like group, led by the eldest children who have nearly reached adulthood, the group sees more of the surrounding forest's magical side than any adult.

Based in the same world as High Skies, the site would include children between ages five and seventeen, many magical creatures, and a loose structure with few IC rules.

Up-sides: Lots of interesting backgrounds for characters. Plenty of plot opportunties.
Down-sides: Perhaps a limited number of members? (Probably no more than 40-50 characters total.)

So, whatcha think? Which do you like best, and which do you have suggestions on?

I do believe in "True Love".
I do believe in "meant to be".
I really do believe in hope, love, and faith above all else.
When my teacher gave us a definitition of a true romatic,
I went, "Well, hell, that is me!"

Am I just weird?
Or do any of you actually agree?

Well, I ended up only getting Hearthfire and Glassheart. Did some of you send them to Cherry? Perhaps she has some of the ones I don't...

I definitely want:
Arrowfang
Runespirit
Skyblue
Diamondheart
Silverclaw
Dawnstar(we're workin' on this one...)
Wolfstripe(hey, we can dream, can't we?)
and
Whisperwind(does anyone have contact with her anymore? her neopets account that we were used to was frozen...)

So, if you own any of those characters or might be able to help us find the person who does, please post here(or note me)!

My ultra exciting birthday present is broken. It broke the day after I got it and both my dad and I have no idea what's wrong with it. So it got shipped off to be fixed and I probably won't have it back for a few weeks. -scowls- I'm so bitterly disappointed...

Also got new earphones for Easter and the new Jack Johnson cd...

In other, completely unrelated news, my subscription ran out... I'd gotten so used to it, so it was kinda disapointing when I logged in today.

Oh, well.
('Cause that pales in comparison to this awesome gift.)

I think I shall name it Telly-chan.

You're only the best I ever had.

For the new WoodClan site, Cherry and I need a medicine cat.

The option goes to previous WoodClanners first, and others second.

If you don't get this position, keep in mind that Head Mentor and Senior Warrior positions will still be open.

If at all interested, either post here or note me, please!

x3 The site should be ready fairly soon, in a week or two, methinks.

So, I'm looking for help. I need anyone who knows CSS codes pretty well... I might be able to sift through it, but it may not turn out very pretty...

Cherry and I are putting together a site to roleplay our long-gone Warriors guild from Neopets. Since at least four or five WoodClanners are here on dA, I thought I'd post to let those people and/or anyone else interested know.

Instead of boring old Proboards or uber-confusing Invisionfree, we decided to try something new: Acornrack. We still have a few bugs to work out, though...

HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART! (At least, for any past WoodClanners.)

We will not be roleplaying our previous characters. But, that's not to say they shall be forgotten.

The site is called, after all, "Legends of WoodClan."

What we need from any and all past WoodClanners are tales you think need to be remembered. We need stories of Diamondheart, Darknight, Arrowfang, Skyblue, ect. at their best. Now, keep the life stories brief, but give us the details when it comes to the biggest part you want remembered. Fill out the following form:

Name:
Rank:
Title: (Such as, Runespirit's might be "The Mother Medicine Cat". Dawnstar's might be "The First Leader".)
Appearance:
Legend: (This is the story part.)
Family:
Death:
Other:

Note this to either me or Cherry (~betaluver).

<3 Thanks so much!
