*is waiting for Marmalade Boy episode 1 part 2 to download* After this I'll finish downloading the third episode of Buurin. (or as I like to call it Super pig-girl Buurin ^^;;) It's so kawaii (cute)! It's about a girl who transforms into a magical pink pig! Lol! ^^;; I know, I know, it sounds ridiculous but I love it! (go here to learn more about it if you're bored ^^ : http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/6707/index.e.html ) Also, I'm still working on a drawing of the Elven characters, but I haven't drawn any I'm quite happe with. (I *hate* being a perfectionist!) So, I'll keep working on that. Also, I noticed that I missed Friday's discussion. Did anyone save it? If anyone did please e-mail me!

Whoo! Found out where to change my name, finally. Anyway, I'm known as Amanda the Blonde. Which is true. *nods slowly* And you can ignore my comment on where to find ways to write/draw comic books! ^_^ *points to really cool site* They want to write comics, too. They had examples of what the pages are like. And now I want to start on my comic now. It'd be cool if I could figure out where to get it published and everything. *frowns and sketches more pictures*

Hasta la vista (Vista?!? erm... yeah.. LOL) babes! I'm off to sunny Southern California and Disneyland! Woo! I will ride the Alice In Wonderland ride for you, Mariel. I will ride the Indiana Jones Adventure for you, Abycat. I will accost Tarzan for you, Artemis... LMAO! *giggles insanely* And when I ride the other rides, I will think of all of youuuuuu....
Too much MST3K makes one SOOOOO hyper.... LOL! My dream for the week: I wanna make my own Crow. Yesa. My very own golden 'bot. *nod* Only I want to make a small version, say, oh, a foot high? Awww, baby Crooooooooow... awwww... *ahem* I have NO idea where I can find a bowling pin that small though, but I can use plastic cups from the party store and soap dishes to replace the full-size Tupperware Floraliers (the RARE, EXPENSIVE ones, might I add). Yay! And after that, I wanna make a little Tom Servo... and my sister, after seeing Gypsy (but ONLY in the less-than-5-second spot in the credit sequence though!) thinks she's really cool. I am NOT looking for a tiny carseat here, people!
*calms down* Abycat, you HAAAAAAAAVE to see this show. You like Arthur, you will LOVE this. Arthur MUST have been inspired by this.
Geez, obsessed much? *evil grin* I have officially joined MSTies Anonymous! And yes, I really am utterly, completely serious... mwahahaha. See you all on Monday! Bai!

*tries to upload image to Tripod and growls* It's down. Or not. I just don't want to wait for it to load, lol. *uploads image to envy.nu*

Okies...I wanted to practice drawing anime, but then I failed horribly and ended up thrashing my notebook, so I decided to practice drawing super deformed (chibi! ^_~). And then I drew the character guy who's part elemental all over, and I think I like it much better then the other one. *nods slowly* Well, then I scanned it (*hugs her new scanner*) and colored it and touched it up in PSP, so-o-o-o-o, if anyone wants to see it, click here! ^_^ It's called blaze.gif, I can't think of anything else to name him yet, IF I use him. *nods again*

*is tired* I don't WANT to go to school tomarrow. I've just realized what a--holes I sit next to on my frickin' bus. The freaking buttfaces like to insult my friends and I, and tell us not to retaliate - can you BELIEVE that?! Well, to be accurate, they say, "Don' you talk-to-meah likeeh dat, gee-orl!" Seriously. Luckily, two of them got moved up for moving to different seats, so maybe they'll just shut the freak up for once. And if not, I've been thinking up comebacks and insults to use against them, the little...*grumbles* Well, I don't think anyone cares, so I'll be quiet now. ^_^

Okay, I've been REALLY busy with school lately, so sorry if I've not been here in awhile...
*sighs* I want to be homeschooled SO badly. I'm starting to miss assignments in school- not purposely, it's just that I genuinely don't hear what the teacher is saying when they add that extra piece of homework. They usually start talking while I'm in the middle of written work and I ALWAYS get engrossed in my writing, so I don't hear..
I have some of the nicest teachers anyone could ask for- even my P.E. teacher is nice to me, and that's a first for any P.E. teacher I've known... but their being nice is the problem. I feel so guilty when I do something wrong... whether they correct me or let it slip, I feel guilty.
I'm beginning to forget stuff as I go from class to class. It's so rushed.. I'll leave my Spanish book in English or my P.E. clothes in geometry...
I want to be homeschooled, period. It would be great to not be so rushed.

Anyway, who said no humans? *glare* My two characters are part human, y'know! I kind of need that part. LOL! I may change them, though, so don't worry about it yet.

I have tons of homework to do and it's 8:30 at night... aiy. Seeya later!

Yay! I got my tapes! Well, most of them, I *still* haven't gotten the ones I ordered over two months (or was it three?) ago! *grr* Anyway, I love KKJ! Fin's adorable! (So is Access and they make a cute couple even if Fin has a tendency to beat on him and claims she doesn't like him.) ^^ The music's not the best but the series is *so* good! I'm still working on watching the Saint Tail tapes I got (love episode 17! Especially the part where what's-his-name thinks that Saint Tail is planning on 'stealing his heart' by means of a heart transplant ^^;; lol!) Ow, my throat hurts. The whole family seems to be catching the flu and I ended up staying home today because of it, yuck.

*curses Blogger*

The stupid thing won't let me change my prefs. And if I can, I can't find it. *glares at Blogger* Anyone know how I can change that, or do I have to make a new account and invite my other account over here? *pokes Blogger with a stick*

*flips through the pictures in her sketch book and holds it up to the computer screen* I drew a dude who's half fire elemental and half human, but I don't know whether to use him or not.

*flips through her sketch book again* And then I drew a dude who's just a farmer or archer or hunter or something. o_O

*flips through her sketch book one last time* And then I drew a bunch of cats walking on their hind legs and dressed in funky clothes and named them. And now I want to use them in a comic book. Anyone know where I can get help on writing and drawing comic books? I may have to just go out and buy some to get an idea of what format and stuff to use...gamigamigami. *big sigh*

Hmm...the idea of Shifting provides sooo many possibilities for Chimerica *marvels* I love it! Hehe. I'm gonna try to write a history of my character by this weekend, but I'll type up a brief profile now (copying Vista's format *g*):

Name: Mivei (say "Mih-vay-uh"). She doesn't have a surname (more on the reason why in her history)
Race: Elven, possibly a Half-Elf (one parent was human, the other Elven). Term "half-elf" comes from my RPG, Everquest.
Age: 16/17/18ish. Late teens, definitely.
Description: Rather short, and fair-skinned. Bright green eyes, long chestnut-coloured hair. Very nimble, and dexterous- is a good shot with a bow and arrow (if indeed we have those in Chimerica ;P). Loves to spend time outdoors- in the woods, among the trees. No magical (or PSI) ability/powers to speak of, although she has un-used talent in this field (she just doesn't believe in that kind of thing). More to come later...

Hmm..while writing that I thought of to world-development related things we might want to think about. One- do they have a different calender system, or system for measuring years? I know they do in some fantasy novels (Pern, for one, I think). Two- how do they get surnames? I know that sounds kind of odd, but I thought of a neat idea regarding surnames. What if you weren't given your surnames by whatever your parents was, but you had to earn it? Like you got your surname granted to you in a "coming-of-age" type ceremony after you'd done some great deed. Just something to think about. Gotta go eat dinner (yum, couscous!). Heh.

Sidenote: Oo..Andrea..the MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide is the best!! *giggles and brandishes her copy*

Glack, I knew I forgot to change something. Sorry, I've had this typed up a while. That part is in a story I'm writing so scratch that. Here's a brief summary of one of the scenes that I wrote for my little story (here she does have magic but she won't for ours):

Kestrel sighed. “Here it comes.” She watched as Keru began to turn purple, and poor Liaka cowered in fear of the verbal blow she was about to be issued. Suddenly an idea came to her mind and she grinned wickedly as she began to chant the words to the spell under her breath. Keru began to scream and curse as she waved around her fists to emphasize her anger, suddenly, though; her words began to come out as nothing but beeps and bleeps. Liaka began to snicker, then giggle, then fell to the ground with laughter. Keru began to scream (or should I say bleep) even louder, hopping with rage. She whirled around to face Kestrel, who was failing miserably at keeping a straight face, and once she saw the look on Keru’s face began to laugh out-right. Keru scowled and stalked off to fume, away from her and Liaka.

Anyway, I was thinking that maybe there could be a couple of different feline races, or at least tribes (?) that have different characteristics, like one has fur (Like Abycat's character) and one without (like mine). Just a thought. Anyway, I've got to go now.
posted by Vista ~ . ^ at 7:40 PM

Vista... spells? I thought we were going to to a psi world, no 'magic' as such... perhaps she's a powerful PSI, but she comes from a far corner of Chimerica, and a suspicious people that lables her abilities as powers of the dark Sprite or something. Oooh...

So we need a feline race! Abycat, didn't you have a feline character as well? Oooh, and maybe these felinoids are *thinks*.... Well, you know how Shalay is an Alaquis/Chimereen cross so she looks Chimereen but with greenish skin, wings, claws and a tail? Perhaps the felinoids are from when a very long time ago, a group of dissenters were Shifted into large cats. They mated with real cats (as with Shalay's parents) and the product was a half-and-half genetic mix... something like that?

Oooh. Gotta go - I checked out the MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide! BWAHAHAH! *goes off to read it*
posted by Sosiqui at 3:56 PM

Dude. Okay. I thought of a character -- I decided to have a male character, since nearly everyone is using a female, but I'm not sure. ANYWAY, so I thought that he could be part elemental, but then I was like "Oh, crud!" ((actually, I didn't say crud, and this was at school when I was doodling. I think the assistant principal noticed me saying that, but who cares?)) cause Andrea's character, the elven/dragon girl, is also half-whatever, so...*looks around* I can't think of a...conclusion or ending...um...uh...yeah. :P *starts singing* I've had M&Ms stuck in my head all day. Except for the morning, I had Kryptonite stuck in my head, and then it was My Own Worst Enemy, but anyway, that's it. *sings some more* We'll blast the stereo and drive to Madagascar...

Hey everyone! I've decided on my characters. There's three of them but one of them's only around as a 'punching bag' for Keru (another cat-girl ^^) Here's their descriptions, they're brief but I was rushed and so they might be a bit confusing and incomplete (ignore all grammatical and spelling errors):

Name: Keru
Race: (Some cat-like race. I still need to come up with a name)
Age: 17
Description: Her long, cotton-candy-pink hair is pulled back into a bun at the nape of her neck (sometimes). She has white stripes on her legs and arms and a tail similar to a lion’s except its white. Her ears look as though they’re a cross between an elf’s and a cat’s.

Name: Liaka
Race: (same or different cat-like race as Keru's not sure yet)
Age: 16
Description: Short, lavender hair, usually, either curled under or put up into two short pigtails on top or her head. Tail like a tiger’s with dark purple stripes on her legs and arms.

Name: Kestrel
Race: Elven (?)
Age: 18
Powers: minor spells
Description: Long green hair, sometimes pulled back. Dark brown leather cape, carries a staff. Short, dark-green, tight leather skirt. Knee-high brown leather boots with dark green leather laces. Green bodice, with a white peasant blouse underneath. Amber amulet around her neck, and a small amber gem on a chain that hangs just between her eyebrows.

Anyway, that's just a crappy little draft. I also created a little scene between them that I think is kind of...um... interesting. Also, ummm.... forgot, and I have to go to bed anyway. *grrr* I hate waking up at 5 am! (Well, actually I've been sleeping like an extra hour so...yeah, um oops!) Anyway! I've got to go. Bye!

Rabbits aren't dumb, LOL! We're actually able to train our rabbit to do things...so far he can come when we call him, kiss us, or go after his little rabbit toys. He's still kind of young, though. Oh, it was so cute, we saw these rabbits at this show with a bunch of farm animals doing tricks at Reptile Gardens in North Dakota. Dude, they had a chicken that could shoot baskets, even though they WERE pingpong balls, LOL! That place is so cool...now if only my pictures had come out. -_-*

Ack, Mariel, braces stink. I got mine off when the rest of the people at my school were first getting theirs though, so I was kind of lucky. *sings along to Flagpole Sitta* It's stuck in my head again. It was on KROQ, lol, now I keep singing it... *turns up volume* I had visions, I was in them, I was looking into the mirror...to see a little bit clearer, the rotteness and evil in me...*glances at clock* dude, I have three minutes left on the computer...

Stupid creatures? Okay, I think we can count my Rys into that.. heehee it has the intelligence of a rabbit/small yappy-dog. Same with the Derrlappes.. and I'm working on some small dumb poultry (chicken, pheasant-type). Okay, as for Grilla... we need to change her name. I have some suggestions:

In keeping with the Greek-type theme we've got going with the planet name..
Enyo ("horror"), Eris ("strife, discord"), and Bellona (identifies with Enyo, as Mars' companion and such.. not Greek, but Roman..). They all have something to do with destruction.. heh, I like, I like..

What else? Well.. about the Djinn.. I was thinking, djinns are very used.. Maybe we could have umm.. let's call them Sprites, several psuedo-immortals (long lived) that have pretty much transcended the Chimericans on the evolutionary scale. They're symbionic with the large desert planet Chimer orbits.. feeding off the planets energies. Seeing as they have that type of relationship, they can't go far, out of the system. They keep the system hidden, so while the rest of the universe goes on it's merry way, Chimer is their personal plaything. I'll write a more detailed description to the list, after I finish the Corat page.. heh, maybe I should have named them Peroth, after that really cute Aussie swimmer (Ian Thorpe)... lol, watching the TV and working on the Corats... there's an uncanny resemblence! I am NOT kidding.. Look at his website/pictures without the swim cap, http://www.ianthorpe.telstra.com.au/ -- http://www.sundarams.org/~abra/Chimerica/corat.htm)

Anyways, I'll go work on my theory so we can yay or neigh at it.. lol

*nods* I think it would be cool if there were no humans..they'd spoil all the fun anyway =P

And as for stupid creatures, my Dranyths are quite idiotic. LOL, Amanda- "stupid creatures that just waste oxygen"

Ee..I just got my braces put on *winces* I gotta go put some wax on 'em.
