With summer break here, one would think I'd have more free time. Apparently I do have more time, because my art output has increased dramatically. On the other hand, I feel like I've doubled my sleeping time, and it feels unhealthy. But I have at last gained some insight on the process of falling asleep and dreaming o.O  I've always been curious as to what it felt like to fall asleep, because I could never remember when I woke up! But this morning, I kinda slept in a while (my whole family was up until 1 AM watching Bicentennial Man).

It wasn't the sort of thing where I just didn't wake up until twelve, though. I woke around eightish, but stayed in bed, because I wasn't really awake yet. I can recall turning over in my bed to get more comfortable, so I was definitely concious at the time. Then I fell asleep again, for maybe ten minutes, then woke up. Repeat process for about half an hour. The dream was continuous, despite the interspersed waking ups. At one point, I remember thinking, "Darn, the dream was good!" and kinda willed myself to fall back asleep simply by recalling the dream. So now I know. :P

I do so enjoy some types of dreams, too. The ones that are really vivid, and usually first person. If they stick with me after I wake up, even only vaguely, it's really neat. I wish I had a dream-recorder. I'd make the coolest psychological analyses of myself :D

Because teh iippo did it (whenever she posts these, I inevitably do them!):

>.<
Being 'realistic' tends to make one cynical, over time. I think that there's more to life than being realistic, and arguementative, and disagreeable. You don't always have to be right, or realistic, or better than everyone else. It'd be nice once in a while to forget about being correct, and instead be quixotic, imaginitive, and happy. Fancy that, being happy? What's more, happy without insulting, putting down, or standing on someone else. Elftown's made me sort of arrogant, I think, far more than necessary. Why can't I just let idiots and fools be themselves, if that makes them happy, rather than discussing how idiotic they are, making me a worse person too? :\

I actually made an animation in Terragen. It took about two hours to render, I think. 1300 frames, 24 frames per second, small frame size. People with slow connections might not have fun waiting for it to load :\

School is out.

And as of Monday, I have acquired more rendering freeware, this time quite seperate from Terragen. It's Apophysis, and rather interesting. I think I told Silvie that it's cool, useless, and interesting. It supposedly renders flames, but it does all sorts of cool stuff that generally resembles multicolored energy floating around. Kinda like the Aurora Borealis, I think. Aaaanyways, I did a 'dragon' with it, but it's not supposed to render shapes like that. I'll thumbnail two things I've done with it.

I was checking out the linkage for the community sites by Hedda on the Mainstreet poll. On the MusMakers wiki, I found this snippet of conversation, regarding joining MusMakers:

2005-12-29 chaza1: hi all can i join

2006-02-21 Hard Ball Head: musmakers rules \m/ ...and elftown...and elfpack...and the others too!

2006-02-22 chaza1: erm i dont have a clue as to what you just said

(snipped from one of those chain-mail house virus things -.-)
Sister: omg ( crying )

:D The sister said omg!


Aaaanyways. Taking AP test tomorrow. Hardest test I'll take this year, and it determines what kind of college credit I get for my class this year in US History. Coach King says I'm headed straight for a 5, but I still need to prepare for the essays :P
What this means to you ET peoples is that I'll be out for a while tomorrow, and then I'll finish up a bit of schoolwork, and it's RP Judgery time! Finally :P Been what, four months since tourney closed? >.<!!

*makes a to-do list*

- Finish Lit journal
- Study for AP test
- Judgery
- RRPG reviewing
- Practice for concert
- Teh Creature List

O.o MSN has a conciousness. Watch as it blocks out all attempts at me trying to ask about Silvie's water-materialism problem of yesterday:

Saw that inkblot test from iippo's diary, so I did it out of procrastination (still have to find that physics source!). Results are more accurate than most of the tests I take, but I'm not so sure about this one either. Some of it's right, the rest I don't know about yet.

Upon researching mythological beings.

Caleb says:
It was sometimes said that Ixion planned to have sex with Hera but Zeus prevented it by fashioning a cloud in the shape of Hera.
Silvie says:
Ixion: Zomg! wtd! I fuct a clopud!!11!! Zeuz, u fuxin sux0rz!'

Back from vacation.

*cries* I want Terragen alpha version :P

Notice to anybody who might care: I'm leaving for Europe for almost 2 weeks, during which time I'll not be able to log on. Just to let you guys know.

Thoughts on "If you had me alone, locked up in your room for 24 hours, and I had to do whatever you wanted me to do, what would you do with me?":
Wtf are we supposed to say to that? What is anyone going to do with someone for 24 hours in the same room? There's no mention of any other sorts of games in the room. It's like they're going for one answer and one answer only, and it drives me up the wall :P

:( All my video players keep breaking. None of them play a whole, clear image anymore. And I have no clue why this is.

o.O And on a later note, I run across a house that has the whole '96% don't stand up for God' thing in huge, red letters. And later, I see a) a huged "support gay marraige" thing, and b) a pic of the person with only shorts and a bra on, asking how she looked.
I have to wonder exactly how this person is standing up for God -.-

o.o
My sister says: "I haven't killed anyone before, right? - Okay, bad example."

No joking, she said just that. Obviously intended in another way, but still, somewhat worrying :P

o.O Why on Earth are people so intent on hiding their names? Silly paranoid freaks that think they mean anything to the world :P

Heh, we were on speaking terms after a fight, then iippo commenteth:
09:43:46 iippo: You just gotsa love the internet: four frigging pages of comments about nerds tryign to prove that they are nerdier than the other ones. ("Oo look at me, I have read a book that doesn't have any pictures in it!! My mom gave me a cookie for it!!") This nerdyness-thing naturlich doesn't apply to Aradon, kayne, dela nor Silvie. (nor deus since he's obviously tEh coolness, nor peggy since she's far past nerd-age already, even though neither of them took part in the conversation). And funny me, I thought I told [The Color Megan] to leave. I agree with kayne, rules haven't changed. Random plarghs will be pwned and sent outta here. *fingers itch at the delete buttons*

Enter round two of the fight. Ought to be interesting :D

XD
I did some more random 'googlisms' today. Google doesn't know about Aradon or iippo yet. Templar was a thing that used psionic storm while the Archon took out the drones. Silvie was a big girl at thirteen pounds, among other things. But Deus. Man. Some entries for Deus:

deus is a gift from god
deus is not god
deus is potentially a false god
deus is like "my sister=my clock"
deus is a very sacred and powerful energy system that originates from the central rainforest of brazil
deus is an experience that is like reading a choose your own adventure novel
deus is definitely a must have
deus is one hell off a game
deus is touring? this is the place
deus is one of them
deus is resurrected
deus is right
deus is not really two syllables
