Message to all: Elftown might loose its network for some minutes today. It will be back quickly hopefully...

And after the network is loosed upon the world, there is no telling what can stop it :D

How the heck could I really be born in a family as self centered as mine? I won't say anything about my siblings, I think they're turning out fairly well for the most part, but my parents do nothing but complain about everything. They take personal offense at the slightest thing, even if it was unintentional, and feel as if they were gods themselves. Of course they could never be wrong, and they always know how to do everything better. My goodness, to hear them talk about how incompetent their doctors are, you would think they ought to be the doctors themselves! How about a little respect for people?

Pfft, and I think that if my dad wants more help around the house, he could be a little less sarcastic towards us when we aren't bowing to his every whim -.-

Ugh, sorry to random watchers, I just really wanted to type something out about it >.<

I can't tell if this was just an accident, and intentional copy, or too much Robert Jordan at work in his subconcious:

Exactly :P I'm not insane; I can tell that the voices aren't real, but it's often a good idea to listen to them.
Though I don't like the font >.<

Music Theory is awesome, except for the part about key signatures. I can never get them right very easily, especially not minor keys. In any case, the class is only 13 people, and we're in the band room, which is big enough to house all their band of one class for rehearsal, which amuses me. Sometimes it's so lax in that class that I start to think it's an after-school event, and then I get confused when I hear the orchestra across the hall practicing, because if there's an after school rehearsal for orchestra, I need to be there :D

Random thing that I decided to copy-paste out of homework procrastination and because I thought it was interesting that it wasn't the usual stalker's preferred bad-habits quiz.

Humm... The poll on Mainstreet makes me want to try something out. I was going to answer it for when I make stuff on the computer, since I don't draw, but then I realized I do quite a number of them seperately, and the product is no doubt affected as a result. I want to try doing one for each option in the poll, and comparing the results. Dunno when I'll have time for it, though, considering I have school + Fire Emblem + Guild Wars: Factions + Fantasma. If I were to choose between those, Fire Emblem wins over making art :D

Heh, every time I see that Deus has changed his house, I end up just hoping for his sake that he kept the previous one intact on some obscure page for future reverting reference.

I'm not Asian:

Magmasama: on your synopsis
Magmasama: did you do a title line?
Magmasama: if I can get rid of a title line

Aradon Templar: I stuck the bibliographic info at the top
Aradon Templar: Then, 'Synopsis' :D
Aradon Templar: I, unlike you, was trying to create lines
Magmasama: ah
Magmasama: I'm trying to
Magmasama: GET RID OF THEM DESPERATELY
Magmasama: see
Aradon Templar: XD

Will be out until this Thursday evening, won't be on here until Friday no doubt.
My family decided it was a great time to go camping, and we almost got away with not going >.<

Whhhhy are there so many pictures on Mainstreet?
And has anyone else noticed they show drawings now, too, rather than just photos?

I think I want to coin a term:
Hiccough: v. A short disconnection from the internet, lasting no more than five minutes, that effectively shuts down a certain website/program/process requiring a continuous connection.
Example: I was logged off of Guild Wars just before the mission ended, forcing me to do the mission all over again, because my internet hiccoughed.
Elftown has a tendency to hiccough a lot, especially when editing wikipages, making me copy my edit data and redo the whole edit.
Messenger enjoys a good hiccough, especially when you actually feel like using it to talk with your friends.

Looking back, it seems I've changed again (curse the inconstancy of humans! :P) from what I was maybe a year and a half ago. Back then, I considered all Christians as allies, and Catholics as good ones. And those who weren't Christian were almost enemies, in my eyes. Lines have shifted, now. Instead, I regard those with a functioning intellect as friends worthy of my respect, regardless of religious alignment.

I think this is mainly because I'm more concerned with the ideals behind religion, such as justice, morality, and of course, wisdom. After a while, I came to realize that just because someone was Christian it didn't mean they were moral people, or were concerned with purity, and especially didn't mean they were intelligent. Instead, people with intelligence seem to have more integrity, but they simply don't all worship God. Of course, I still think this is a pity, but they are more in the right than the wayward worshippers who are Christians in name only.

And besides that, intelligent people can write three whole sentences without making a typo. This is much easier on the mind :)

Hurrah, photobucket seems to be wreaking havoc on the world. Its images are starting to be deleted (for not viewing them in a year, I think), and all those stale banners and gifs that people clutter their houses with are breaking! :D

And, photobucket is being bad by using materials uploaded to them without notifying artists. I should have read through that contract, I now realize :P

I saw Pirates of the Carribean 2. It was pathetic. Mere marketing scheme designed to appease the idiot-fanatics like my sister who 'love Johnny Depp' and are always saying silly catch phrases like, "but why is the rum gone?" They simply took all the things everyone liked about the first movie, and gave them to Robert Jordan to write about. Who else could have decided to both write horrible twists of plot and over-complications to the point of extremism, and end the movie with a low-point in morale and no plot resolution whatsoever?
Basically, the result was a three hour movie filled with nonstop action of the painfully silly sort that only obsessed people would appreciate because it's, you know, Pirates of the Caribbean! Ugh. I don't know if I will watch the third one, but if I do, it'd better be really good, not like the downhill slope that Matrix took :(

Guild Wars thieves my spare time! Gah!
Well, I promise I'll have a new Terragen pic up soon. Something creative would do me good. I've actually already created it, Terragen just needs to render it. But that could take a while :(
It's a good picture though, I promise :)

I watched Chronicles of Narnia: Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe today. I wish I had gone to see it in theater. I always seem to enjoy things more when I'm alone. It's just kinda different if someone is sitting right next to me, too, enjoying the same thing I am. It's like, "HEY! I'm the one enjoying this, go do something else."

Anyways, the movie was decent. I'm not sure what I expected from it, but it could've been better. On the other hand, it could have been much worse. It certainly wasn't 'terrible' as my siblings claimed, and I would definitely recommend its viewing. I think what irked me was the way the siblings couldn't get along, and obviously were acting. No family, I think, would act like they did, openly hostile and looking for a fight. I could see that between friends, but families usually try to get along. The roles were too well accented, I guess. And we could have done with a little more large-scale breathtaking scenery, but that's just my opinion. Every movie could use more of that :D

Terragen 2 gallery is available for viewing (http://www.planetside.co.uk/), but no Terragen 2 yet. I can't wait for the final release. Hopefully the tech preview will be out soon. 'Sometime this year' is rolling around quicker than most would guess.

Bows update:
Looking for a perfect storm bow, but the present one suffices.
I am fine on the short bow.
I am fine on the Recurve Bow, but want a moddable one for my vampiric string.
I have a decent hornbow that needs a grip of defense or fortitude.

I need a grip for the recurve, should I get a new one, of defense.

Mods needed: two +5 armor grips. A string of 20/20 sundering.
Bows needed: A perfect storm bow, a perfect Recurve bow.

Teh mapgen on mainstreet seems to give me only very similar maps. Maybe I need to mess with the numbers more, but I think Terragen's mapper works much more nicely :)
Or WorldMachine, if you just want a map.
