I'm nowhere near the same state I was yesterday. I swear I was having hormones issues or something, cuz right now I feel fine. XD; Maybe cuz I know my sister will buy a new computer soon that my dad will pay her back for... =D (We kinda need one anyway, to hook the printer up to so we can actually print stuff; this laptop can only print from it thanks to the network we have.) I'll live. |D Just gonna hate if I can't get my files off the dead(ish) desktop.
FILES DO WANT. *FROTHS*

Hi page 49.

Oh man, Peg... I'm so sorry D: I hope things start looking up for you T_T

@Ginger: It'd be better if my sister didn't just go, "Really? You can't live without it? You shouldn't even be on this [meaning the laptop]. Get over your obsession!" when she saw I'd turned the laptop on a moment ago.
Also saying that's why it'll take longer to get a new computer since she's the one that will need to buy it with my dad paying her back. Why the hell does it matter to her how much I use it anyway? >> Threatening to keep me off the new one... She's such a bitch sometimes...
Sorry, needed to vent/rant. D= And I can't at my source of annoyance, cuz yea... >>
I think tomorrow I'll just say, "screw it" if possible and not let the laptop take a break until just before my sister comes home so I won't have to hear her again.

@Sarie: I'M GLAD IT GOT THERE ALRIGHT. I kept staring at the UPS tracking page when it said "out for delivery", wondering when it would arrive. XD;
I'll elaborate on the painting if I need to, like I said. =]

GLAD YOU THINK SO. I STILL DON'T THINK I CAN. XD;

What the...really? X3;
First a nameless appeared. Amary cast Bast's pelt on it. And then it turned into Toukan! And then a bit later Toukan turned into Bastilion! Amary was quite confused. XD

I have officially decided that Toukan has a bird-sniffing fetish! XD

Also I found a mixed drink that makes me think of him too! I want to try this sometime, I think it's pretty easy to make.

DEER STATUS/BLOG POST

I just had a psychic moment.
I said out loud, "Come on delivery guy; don't make me wait too long," and then the front door gets knocked on. o_o

I WILL BE RIPPING OPEN A BIG BOX AND SETTING UP A NEW COMPUTER NOW. 8DD

Oh, and... *plonks a party hat on Toukan's head*

EDIT: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOLYCAAARRRPP...
THE SPEEEEEED.
I put up all the details in TEF and IT'S STILL RUNNING SMOOTH.

What kind of monster did my sister buy? o_o

(This is why Scape was spazzing, Ravus. XD)

I was wondering if Scape freaked her out. XD; He's not normally THAT hyper, but he can be, so...yea. He was just the deer I put the Preferences file of in first since he's my first deer. He gets to be the guinea pig the most. =B

I have things to get used to since this is Windows 7 when I was used to XP, but...is it bad that I no longer really miss my old computer? XD;;

*throws confetti* 8]

It's no problem. =]
Christmas is over a day away for me too. XD

Ravus~But nuzzle? Is that why they're keeping three feet and a Vasska between them? xD

I would've answered on here sooner, but yea... XD; I don't remember the butt-nuzzle actually. Was that when they were nuzzling trees? |D

I didn't notice anything weird until later when Geisha was suddenly standing close to Toukan and Ravus was looking miserable. |D;

Maybe there was a delay or lag or something that made me not notice it? >> << >>

I think I could tell what was going on, but I can't explain in words what I thought (if I'm making sense |D), but at the time, I was thinking, "You picked the wrong stag for this..."

>> << >>
Toukan: *suspicious shifty eyes*

..why am I awake? It's past 5. XD;

Let me see if I can explain what I thought was going on... Geisha got upset or whatever with Ravus for some reason (maybe it had to do with Vasska antlering her in the butt? O_o), so she was trying to make Ravus upset by cozying up to whatever stag was around? |D (That's why I was thinking she picked the wrong stag for this, cuz...it's Toukan. |D) This is only what it looked like to me, so I'll understand if I interpreted wrong.

No, Ren was charging at Toukan. |D He knows he's not a doe (and I was chatting with Raz [Draak] on MSN at the time =B), cuz they've faced off before. Touk wished that fawn that was with him (I really wanna find out who they are; they seemed like an experienced player and the fawn glued itself to Toukan XD; ) hadn't followed him over. Had to keep telling it to stop trying to look threatening towards Ren - he was afraid Ren might take that as an invitation to fight.

Apparently one of my irl friends was awake at almost 8, so 5 is nothing. XD

Ravus had been avoiding Geisha for the past few days because she's been cozying up to other stags, but today with the Lich King and Ren around she wanted to stay around her, not necessarily make up, but just to make sure she was safe. But Vasska was there so there really wasn't any happy medium like that, and yeah, the rest happened pretty much as you imagined with them chasing her through the forest and her cowering behind other stags like they were evil or something. I don't know if Geisha thought that jealousy would work with Toukan or she just thought he might step in as an observer, but Ravus was lucky that Toukan tends to collect more information before just jumping into something. I guess when he saw how sad she was he wisely decided to stay out of it.

And ohh, all right, I WAS pretty sure everyone in the forest must know Toukan by now but you never know. Yeah, that fawn was REALLY cute.

And wow. It's sunny here. xD

LOL, frankly I'm impressed you could follow our drama. xD

"...especially with Ravus looking depressed. He would've nuzzled her, but he knew better. XD;"

D'aww. Such a good friend. xD And yeah, actually, when I first joined this site and found out who you were, I remember getting all depressed because I saw how many deer you have--I thought, "Oh, what're the odds I'll meet Toukan again?" I'm so glad he's one of your favorite deer, and really, if Toukan is easy to play that's impressive. He always manages to be so nice and patient.

...Oh wow. xD Looks like you're stranded.

THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE APARTMENT COURT IS A GIANT SNOWDRIFT.
And apparently our porch isn't much better. I didn't open the door to check. But my dad said there was a drift against it, and I believe him.
It's still snowing too...
...
Wonder if we'll need to tunnel.
I'll update when I wake up later. XD

oh my god
Where are you again? Are you near a lake or something?

Oh I just wondered if it was lake effect snow. Well, maybe it's because of the ocean, then.

BLOG POST


Just a tiny iScribble doodle to show Toukan's antlers are growing back.

Starting to get anxious about Secret Santa. Wonder if the snowstorm could've slowed down whatever was sent to me if it was sent yet. |D I don't celebrate Christmas though (or wouldn't if I didn't have awesome friends), so I'm fine with waiting.

I never did "decode" my Secret Santa progress, did I? Is that something I should bother with? XD;

BLOG POST

My search for the kind of ramen I would get when I crave it failed, but then my mom and I looked a little closer at the Asian part of the International section at Stop n Shop. So yes...

Need I say more? XD


Now for something overdue: decoding my Secret Santa progress list.

1. planning stages; tentative shipping price calculated, "butter-on-the-bread"* items gathered, main part/"bread"* to be started
....."butter-on-the-bread" meant sketches I had done on paper in the past. I thought it would be nice to include those if I couldn't find something else nice to put. The "bread" was the Magonply painting, though that wasn't my original idea for what to paint.

2. found an interesting little something (yes I'll continue to be vague with these updates)
.....The "interesting little something" was a yellow hippie-like bus (Diecast brand I believe) that had "Peace and Love" written on it.

3. I has a box
.....Obvious. Got a box at UPS.

4. awesome find is awesome
.....I love flea markets sometimes. There was a stand with music-related merchandise, and the dude had Beatles blankets.

5. main part probably half done, depending
.....Started the painting. Got the background done, using my palette knife to thickly apply black, orange, and lavender paint. I was being symbolic with the colors.

6. mental planning on how to continue main part
.....Obvious. This was when I changed my mind from my original idea.

7. watching, waiting, debating
.....I had painted the bird and was basically watching paint dry. XD I was also studying it to decide if I should add anything else.

8. could I be done? O_O will debate tomorrow
.....I think I had stared at the painting so much I couldn't figure out if it needed more or not. At this point I had weighted down the corners with...weights. XD; It had started to warp a bit.


The rest needs no explaining I'm sure.

I only knew of a few types of instant ramen and top ramen. Usually I go for top ramen (those blocks XD), but I couldn't remember what aisle in the supermarket they'd be in. (The brands I know are Maruchan and Nissin. Both taste good to me.) The Asian section was interesting to browse.



And now for a freakout moment:

My hand started thinking for itself; I just know it.

retrack~

@Mick: Gasp?! 8O

@Ravus: I KNOW RIGHT. O_O I'll never beat it I don't think.
I thought the process might be interesting to read. XD And no, not yet. But I'm patient since I don't celebrate Christmas in real life really, and my two closest friends and I have yet to hang out and exchange gifts. =B So it's all good.

"Well...I know the red-pelted mini was Tikwid, and the other red deer was Geography. Not sure who the other mini was...but I think they were play-fighting..."

I remember Geography saying that using headtilt with any aggressive moves means he's sparring, and I saw him doing that. Those two minies were doing something similar when I had the leowolf in before. XD; Didn't know if they were serious or not.
I neglected to get any screenshots of fawn-Toukan and mini-Jergens mock-threatening each other. |D
