I really want to work on my writing. SO! If you have a recommendation for a character or fandom for any one of the prompts, just reply here with it. :D

So, it was my birthday this past Friday and I had a pretty good one.
Along with getting older, however, I've been working on my personal creative endeavors. To this end, I wanted help from you all with some ~inspiration~.

What I want you to do, is answer the question "Who is Doktor Nix?" as if a reporter asked you on the street. Make up the answer! He could be someone you know, a myth, something you've heard of, a madman, a monster, a DJ... Whatever! And feel free to use any genre or time setting, just no using other, existing fiction.

I'm going to combine everyone's ideas into something I'm happy with, do a few sketches, and...well..you'll have to wait and see.
Trust me, this will be cool. Tell your friends to reply as well, if you think they'd come up with something good.

I've posted a design on Threadless and could use as many votes as possible! I accidentally posted this too early, so here it is again with voting actually made possible!

I don't know what it is about me. I'd say it's a pheromone, but then it wouldn't work over the internet. Whatever it is, something in my personality says "lie to me. Tell me what I want to hear even if you don't mean it. I'll never figure it out." This is infuriating. I tell people not to do it, but that accomplishes nothing. I guess all I can do is try again.

If you are angry with me, don't like me, are displeased with something I've done, do not like how I'm portraying a character, just don't want me around, think I smell bad: TELL ME!
I'm a big girl. I'll live. For fuck's sake, if it's on the internet, you'll never even know if I get upset about it! I'll go blow off some steam on the wii and come back fresh as a daisy! I just can't stand being lied to or patronized. Those suck. If you have a problem with me, that's fine! I'll try to fix it, or I'll find a new sandbox playmate. It's cool. Just, if I go as far as to ask you if I should play a character, do not act pleased and supportive and then have someone else replace me as said character. I will totally notice. I'm not nearly as stupid as I look. And that hurts way more than just telling me "no, I think you would be better off playing someone else" or "I don't think you fit in this game". I'm not going to lie, that's sort of disappointing too, but at least I don't waste my time, get my hopes up, and look like a moron. Just saying.

Blargle. :\

</ranting>

I'm gonna go climb inside a coffee cake to brood for a bit.

I am presently in the Atlanta airport waiting for my connecting flight to London. I've never been out of the country before. I apologize for the image I present of America
I'll be back in the states on Tuesday. I'll update then, if not before, but I should have net access during this trip. *crosses fingers*

I have clearly survived my surgery. All went well, I am at home healing up, I am also on a good deal of percocet. This means I'm not RPing much, so I thought I'd do a meme!

Ask a question of any of my characters you like!
I will have them answer whether they like it or not. Also, feel free to ask me about decisions I've made in how I play my characters or what their motives are.

(Character lists may be found here and here)

Well, I have been robbed of my gall bladder and lived to tell the tale. I just got home from the hospital and I'm doing fine now. I have plenty of percocet to keep me entertained and people to keep me company. I may or may not be online, depending on how lucid or together I'm feeling.

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I was all worried for nothing. I had a great surgeon and very good nurses. It all went very quickly and very smoothly.

So, I'll be going in to have my gall bladder exorcised on Friday. It's full of evil rocks, so I'm evicting it. It keeps trying to spit its rocks into my other organs, and I won't stand for it.
At any rate, I will likely be in the hospital for all of Friday and Saturday, then bedridden at home for a couple of days after that. I already have my bottle of percocet waiting for me.
I've never had surgery so I'm sort of scared shitless, but I'm really hopeful that all will go smoothly.

In other news, I have been reading through all of Hellblazer. I'm on issue #100 now. I'm loving it, but I think that reading ten or more issues a day is really having a weird effect on my subconscious.

Alright, I'm bored and I need writing practice, so I have modified a meme I saw on y!gallery to suit my insidious needs.

1)Give me a song and a character(s) or pairing
2)I will listen to said song with said characters and/or pairing in mind
3)I will play the song again and write a drabble/ficlet
4)The catch: Writing starts when the song starts and ends when the song ends.

Feel free to repost this and play along! Please link to songs where I can download them or, ideally, listen to them online. Downloads are fine too, but I will have to get to those songs after I get home from work.

Ok, so thanks to DEL! I am now addicted to subeta dolls. Rather than just post them in general, though, I thought I would make a game out of it! I will post dolls and say whether I play the character or someone else does. You? You name the character! Some are decidedly easier than others.

I'm doing some designs for Threadless. These are the first ones and they are from photos taken by tiny_josser. More to come later when the artwork is finished.

Especially not on my iphone.

Damn you, Snapple. You and Grimmalkin have pulled me in and now it's hopeless. I will be sketching meaningless crap forever!

Wanna see it? It is here. Srsly. this is some cool art blogness.

I also started a photo journal for all the crap I post from my iphone and other visual nonsense. That is at la_fetiche.

And I'm on IJ as Doktor_Nix if anyone was curious.

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own!

Alright, so far too much of my hard earned money is going to support Live Journal. In the interest of keeping some of my pay check and keeping my art and writing skills up, I have come up with a plan.

I will be taking art and fic commissions! I will do a sketch of 1-2 characters or a ficlet for $5 or 2 months of paid time on an account. Three or more characters will be $10.

$15 or a six-month paid account will get you a full color pic of 1-2 characters or a full length fic.


My list of pups is here, if you would rather buy account time than pay through pay-pal. I'll let you choose which journal.
