( Aramii stuff )


anobjectinspace has pointed out that my crankiness today may very well be because I have a touch of sunstroke. Which would make sense. Note to self: bring sun umbrella next time I go into the city.

Yes, I did use this icon just to bother anobjectinspace

He deserves it

Anyways this post was already going to be obnoxious anyways, so might as well go the whole way

( BAZILLIONS OF ARAMII )

(For those who wonder why the hell I keep posting these when no1curr really...it helps me, visually, to have them all laid out so I can see them side-by-side P: that's the primary reason. If I think I'm getting too obnoxious I might start screening them? I could make an aramii f-lock)

ALSO I'm thinking of offering commissions (for real money, not just AMG as I am now). I am so broke you guys. Recent examples of work by me, on request/commission: thus and thus. Thoughts? They would be pretty cheap, like teenycom cheap.

First of all, cuttlefish and octopi! Also someone just faved this old thing, lol wtf

Back from winter vacation...finally, I suppose. Most people went back last week or so, I know. Our school dropped a week from spring vacation to add to winter vacation. They started last year, it's still sort of experimental, they're trying to see if it helps mitigate the loss of concentration between spring vacation and the end of the semester, lol.

I have a roommate again. She seems nice! She's very...very...normal, but also quite sweet, and she's a music major. So far she doesn't seem discouraged by the fact that my conversational skills mostly consist of saying 'yeah' a lot when I feel socially intimidated. Which is pretty much all the time.

Her bedsheets are black with pink accents. 6 u 9 also she seem to have lowered my Slytherin banner on the door, but I'm assuming that was an accident. The wood on the doors is terrible for sticking things in, so I wouldn't be surprised if she just brushed against the banner and the pin holding it up fell out, and she couldn't get it back in where it was (I practically had to hammer it in...IDK what kind of wood this is, superwood apparently)

or maybe she is a Gryffindor and my serpentine crest offends her

Gryffindors like pink, right? e n e

Also, augh, it is cold. And I realized too late that Derek had been using my awesomest fleecey that I keep at school usually in his basement den all winter vacation, so I'll have to have mom wash it over the weekend, but for now I don't have it, waaaahhhh my feeeet are coooooldddd ;n;

I'm looking forward to a proper sleep. I was starting to have...weird dreams at home.

Currently reading The People in the Attic by Doretta Johnson. I advise you not to read it unless you're hardcore into personal experience stories like I am. This woman is incredibly obnoxious and half the book is her whining about how she was 'coerced' into attending therapy sessions with her sister (who she tries so hard to help, despite her sister being, in her estimation, a deadbeat druggy brat). Also, I think the whole book is probably a mess of abuse-related triggers (domestic violence and sexual abuse) so if you do want to read it, be aware of that. It's kind of like this room in the werewolf haven in Dragon Age: Origins that was full of fire traps and Alistair kept standing in the fucking fire and not moving. (Alistair is not really part of this analogy, I am just always fondly exasperated by him.) I may have to make a human noblewoman character just to court him. Maybe another rogue, but an archer this time.

That would be four characters that I'll have going.

In my main game (elf rogue, dual weapon wielder, assassin) I've got the elves on my side and have almost got the dwarves.

Oh god how did I start talking about Dragon Age

( Right here is some aramii instead )

For those of you who have no interest in my aramii stuff...err, sorry. o u o;; I know there's been a lot of it lately.

My back hurts, btw. Ugh

Anyways ( V-Day Inspired Aramii designs )

FLOODIN' MAH FRIENDSLIST

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY YOU CAN DEAL 6 u 9

It's ok though this will probably be the last post for a little while. Anyways first of all YAY I just found out Derek has a game tonight so birthday dinner will be postponed til tomorrow. I should be feeling better by then since this seems to be one of those months when all the bite is in the first day or so. So I will actually be able to eat my birthday dinner yaaaaaay and then afterwards we might go out to the movies YAAAAAYYY

Okay now the real reason for this post ( Aramii forever )

Also um...HAVE SOME MUSIC 6 u 9

Yes I am doing Aramii again

You all have anobjectinspace to thank for that, yes

( Custom plans wooooop )

WENT SHOPPING WITHOUT SHOPPING LIST due to power going out right as I was about to go double-check the recipes. Somehow managed to get everything I need anyways, because I am a genius. Well, I mean, I didn't get a thing of peanut butter for the puppy chow nor did I know I would need it, but we always have untouched cans of peanut butter around, so it wasn't a problem.

I won't even pretend that this is because I am always prepared. This was actually because I was salivating about brownies all week and because of that actually formed most of my shopping list in my head on like, Wednesday.

Anyways yeah. Today was supposed to be pretty boring, but the weather decided to make it more exciting :D literally right as I left my last class to go get ready to drive home, it started pouring rain. And as I got onto the highway, it started snowing (but neglected to stop pouring rain, because spring around here often means two-for-one deals on weather). When I got home I had finally got ahead of the storm, which caught up a few hours later, and managed to hit a power line that supplies something like half our town despite a complete lack of HIGH WINDS OR ANYTHING REALLY DANGEROUS EXCEPT RAIN AND LIGHT SNOW. I am still confused about how that branch came down (we actually drove around to find it, because when the situation is THIS PUZZLING and you're going to the grocery store anyway, that's what you do). It survived the whole winter, but a bit of wet snow was too much for it?!

ANYWAYS basic schedule is as follows: tomorrow morning, nutella brownies (less butter); tomorrow afternoon, chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips. Saturday morning, puppy chow; Saturday afternoon, nutella brownies (peanut butter chips).

OMFG now I want to go work on a chocolate-and-peanut-butter-inspired custom design on Aramii. I ALREADY PLAYED AROUND WITH FUNFETTI CUSTOM IDEAS THE OTHER DAY, TOO. I am not convinced that combining Aramii and delicious baked goods is a good idea.

So basically my mind is still buzzing too much for me to sleep, and the best remedy for that is horror movies + busywork, and the closest busywork at hand that seemed like a bit of fun was getting images of some of the custom Amis I've been designing, to show off :D

( ARAMII MADNESS )

Aaaaand I just realized I totally didn't tell you guys about how I hurt my foot. Which is typical because I didn't tell ANYONE. Basically, dad took the railing out of the basement stairs awhile ago, and yesterday I went to lean against it despite KNOWING IT WAS NOT THERE. So I went to prop my butt on it and tumbled backwards off the stairs onto the cement floor of the basement and somehow managed to do this NOISELESSLY and ONLY HURT MY FOOT. And not even badly. I mean there's no swelling or visible bruising or anything, it just feels like I overextended one of my toes.

Since I did this completely silently (unlike usual, where just walking down the stairs makes people think I fell and died because I can't do ANYTHING quietly when I WANT to) nobody noticed, and I didn't know how to bring it up without feeling awkward, so I basically limped around all yesterday until realizing today it was getting kind of ridiculous so I told everybody. My foot is feeling rather better now though. The point of that story is I am clumsy, scatter-brained and generally ridic, but also impervious to cement floors.
