Yay, gots me own folder finally! I can't believe I actually did 20 posts so fast. I haven't written so much so fast in... a long time. ^_^; The beauty of discovering first person point of view and experimenting with writing styles eh?

Anyhoo!

This thread is for any OOC commentary, chit chat, cheese recipes, etc. The only thing I won't tolerate here is negativity and drama, but other than that? Go nuts. :)

Hiii!

I've really been liking the "Ramblings" thread AND "Home sweet Home" one.

Isn't first person great when you discover it again? It's fun getting inside Lydia's head.

Heya!

And thanks Jewell! I thought first person pov would be hard to do, but it comes easier than writing third person most times. Instead of having to sit there and think, it just sorta flows. :D

Yes! That's exactly it! I'll be having the hardest time trying to write other posts but Jewell's journal will come out so quickly because I write it in first person and very casually. I had kind of forgotten about first person until Tara wrote something in it. First person is great!

Well I sorta forgot about first person until I saw Jewell's journals to be honest. ^_^; I really like reading them too, journal type entries are really neat because as you said, it lets you get in the character's head. :)

So tonight I was playing with Hawk and ...well... hilarity ensued. I just *had* to share! *grins* Seriously, BIG props and thanks go to him for this scene.. I couldn't stop laughing!



HawkJahad: You are too kind Lydia. ::He shook his coin purse a little bit.:: But I am not lacking right now. ::The clinks of many coins was apparent in his purse.:: And a man like me has no need of coin too often. I shall stick to this...drink you spoke of earlier. Tell me is it strong?

Lydia Loran: Strong? Like.. alcohol? ::A smile:: I'm afraid it has no alcohol in it.. at all. It is a ..different taste though.. oh! And you can't shake the bottle, because when you open it, it will explode on you. ::Sagely nod:: There's.. different types of sodas though.. I just stick with Pep-si.

HawkJahad: Pep-seee? ::He stretched the syllables out oddly.:: An exploding drink? Peace! ::He exclaimed.:: What happens if I jump about like I did this evening with some of it in my belly? I will surely explode, and then Renna shall have no need to squish me.

Lydia Loran: ::A blink.. and gasp! She had never thought about that!:: I don't know! ::She almost looks panicked.. Grem didn't warn her about that!:: And I just drank a bottle.. ::Pale eyes widened a bit::

HawkJahad: ::He took a tepid step backwards.:: Peace. We must make sure you do not bounce around too much Lydia. ::He nodded his head sagely.:: An explosion within your small form would not stop with just you. And I have had my share of burns.

Lydia Loran: ::She stood still. Perfectly still.. was she honestly afraid to move now? I mean... she's drank pepsi plenty of times before, and has been alright. Then again, that seems to have escaped her mind currently:: Oh no... I need to get home too. ::Frowning as she glanced down to her tummy hidden beneath her dress, watching it expectantly:: But I can't walk home.. what if I trip and fall? I could... ::Her frown deepened::
Lydia Loran: ::She'd run around in panic if she weren't so panicked that panicking would make her explode::

HawkJahad: ::Hawk glanced about furtively, taking a cautious step forward.:: Who would have you drink such a dangerous substance? ::He inquired.:: Is this someone you know well, a friend?

Lydia Loran: ::Blinkblinkblink... stare at the tummy...waiting.. waiting... :: Sid... she first told me about sodas... and gave me one.. and.. the other day I found out they exploded. ::Nodnod.. and an eep. Nodding was movement.. she shouldn't move:: I opened the bottle and it exploded, them Grem told me you can't shake them, but he didn't warn me about shaking when it was inside and.. I don't wanna explode. ::Her tone is teetering on a whine::

HawkJahad: Okay. Stay still. Here is what I shall do. A Yellow Sister once told me the stomach has liquids in it that do funny things. Perhaps one of those liquids makes this soda able to be consumed without exploding? But I shall go and get some, and then I shall walk far away and drink some and jump up and down. If I do not explode then it should be okay for you to move. ::With that he ducked into the Inn, hurrying to the bar and rustling through the ice box to find a bottle marked Pepsi on it. He found
HawkJahad: it and emerged back onto the porch with it in hand, holding it as if it were the most
fragile object he had handled.::

Lydia Loran: ::Eyes widened as she watched him leave. She wanted to follow.. but you know.. panic? She glanced to the door, her stomach.. the door.. her stomach.. and back again as Hawk came back out:: But Hawk, if you explode then... you'll explode! ::Duh:: You can't drink that then drink up and down. ::Biting her lip nervously now::

HawkJahad: Okay. ::He spoke again, walking off past the porch and far into the distance, a hundred feet away.:: I am drinking it now! ::He shouted so she could hear him. He examined the bottle and placed his hand upon its strange cap. He attempted to take it off by as gently as possible twisting the cap. It did not turn. He frowned.:: What sort of enchanment has sealed this bottle shut and how do I open it without causing it to explode?! ::He shouted across the distance.::

Lydia Loran: You have to twist the cap! ::Shouted back...and a wince.. she shouldn't be shouting should she?::

HawkJahad: ::He tried again, this time applying more force. There was a sort of tearing sound, and then a sudden hiss. Suddenly he was a deer in head lights, going absolutely still and holding his breath, his eyes wide.::

Lydia Loran: ::Eyes widened as she stared off into the distance... almost expecting.. something to happen? But there was nothing... :: Hawk! Are you okay? ::Shouted out, though not as loud as last time::

HawkJahad: ::He glanced around, worriedly for a moment, making sure he was still alive. Finally he released his breath.:: I am okay, I think.

Lydia Loran: ::She was getting nervous. Really nervous. Not even aware she was shifting weight from foot to foot, back and forth...rocking.. moving...::

HawkJahad: ::With that he placed the mouth of the bottle to his lips. And slowly but surely taking a sip of the liquid. It burned, horribly burned the back of his throat, and seemed to cause air to rush through his nostrils. But he drank slowly but surely, tipping the bottle back slowly to drain its contents. When it was empty he placed it placidly upon the stones.;: Okay, I'm going to jump now. You can have my coin if I explode. Or whats left of it. ::He spoke loud enough to cross the distance. ::With a
HawkJahad: slow but sure movement he lifted himself off his feet, just barely stepping on tip toes and springing into the air a centimeter. Again he went completely still, closing his eyes tight awaiting the end.::

Lydia Loran: ::There probably wouldn't be any coin left.. oh right! The jump.. pale eyes widen in horror as he jumped..but.. that wouldn't do it:: You didn't do it right! You have to jump up and down! The liquid has to be shaken.
Lydia Loran: ::Wait, shouldn't she be discouraging him now?::

HawkJahad: Nothing...::He frowned a bit. This time he jumped up a bit higher and landed. Still nothing. Again he jumped into the air, this time repeating the motion a few times leaping upwards and downards. Nothing again. He sprung forward now, gracefully placing a hand onto the cobbled stone and flipping over. He landed and again awaited something. Suddenly he felt a pressure in his stomach, a great pressure as the soda began to fizz in his stomach. He placed his hands on his
abdomen and glanced around.
HawkJahad: This was surely the end. Finally the bubbling sensation became a large bubble in his throat. Oh Light, it was definitely an explosion. He felt his mouth open and his throat spread and a sound came out.:: Buuuuuuurrrrpppppppp!

Lydia Loran: ::She watched his movements wide eyed. The up and down, the flips... nothing...but he grabbed his stomach? No no! Hawk was going to explode!? ...wait... what was that? She blinked.. and blinked again... and just...stared::

HawkJahad: ::The noise seemed to echo in the night, bouncing down the alleyway and through the silent night air. birds stirred from trees in the forest, and miles away a doe paused to glance around suspicously as it heard the odd noise that sounded very much like a roar.::

Lydia Loran: ::Blink blink....stare... snicker.. snicker.. giggle.. and finally? Laughter::
Lydia Loran: ::Oh, and pointing too, can't forget that. Point, and laugh::

HawkJahad: ::He himself could not help but laugh, hard. It was unabated. He threw his head back and began to laugh rather hard. Tears began to stream down his face with the strength of the laughter. He shook his head.:: Peace! That is the...::laughing.:: loudest burp...::He shook his head as he walked and approached the porch.:: I have ever...ever..heard..

Lydia Loran: I have to.. ::Giggle:: ..agree. ::She grinned widely, wiping at watery eyes:: I can't believe that's all that happened! We were in a panic over...that? ::She laughed again:: Oh my gosh...
I feel so silly now... ::Not to mention absolutely mortified::

HawkJahad: Well, I felt like I would expode. But that was not the sort of explosion I was expecting. ::He shook his head, placing a hand on her shoulder still laughing.:: I think you are safe now Lydia.

Lydia Loran: I think so too... ::Chuckling:: I guess that means I can- ::Pause... blink:: -..burp. ::Tiny, high pitched and delicate her burp was!::

HawkJahad: ::He laughed too and squeezed her shoulder a bit as he laughed.:: I think you need to do a flip to get one as loud as mine. But that was a definite good try.

Lydia Loran: ::Her cheeks flushed a bit at her burp, since girlies weren't supposed to burp in public!:: Urm.. maybe later? ::Another chuckle:: I guess I can keep drinking my pepsi then... ::Pausing, before glancing up towards Hawk:: Oh, did you like it?

HawkJahad: ::He shook his head, making a wrinkled face.:: It was odd, it seemed to make my nostrils fill with air and it burned the back of my throat. But it tasted very nice.HawkJahad: ::He glanced down to the hand on her shoulder suddenly embarassed.:: Oh...::He glanced away now, a slight flush to his cheeks.:: <q> Sorry.

Lydia Loran: ::And all that. It was free of charge~:: That's good. ::Grinning:: You can drink that rather than your ale then! ::And a curious blink to his sudden withdrawal, she hadn't even realized his hand was on her shoulder:: Oh? No worries. ::Drawing her cloak tighter around herself she glanced around:: It is getting pretty late... I should probably head back home.

..and etc.

:D Thanks again Hawk!

She's a sylph. *solemn nod* And I know wind = yellow, green = earth, blah blah but I wanted to dress her in green, not yellow. Plus some see wind as green? Er...right? ^_^;

Of course me and goals don't get along so well. :(

Patience is a good thing to have when dealing with me... ^_^;

Oh! And regarding the Character Information and Profile thread, I'm going to start changing the date every time I update it or change something in it, that way people know when it gets updated, etc etc.

And I'm seriously contemplating killing off (locking) teh Mille and Home threads, because I can't think of anything to put in em anymore. :\ Mille is an important NPC and all.. but oy. And Home? Well, Lyds is never home anymore! ><

It's hilarious you won the lottery. You bought your tickets, and *rubbed L for luck*, and then you won...

My luck here is contagious, bwahahaha! If only for teh real life lotto though...

On a more serious note:

I've made mention of Lydia's whole.. 'clairvoyancy' thing in the character profile thread, but I wanted to make mention of it again here. If your character knows Lydia, and you're interested in having her have some sort of dream, even if ridiculously vague, about that character, a secret perhaps, or events soon to come in their future, talk to me about it and we can work something out for sure.

Knowing that something is coming but not exactly what is always an interesting thing to play on. :)

Only reason I say all this is because of what I said before, I'm just not comfortable with pulling out random dreams about *other people's* characters, unless there's discussion and agreement about it first. Because you know, even if I know somethign about a character, it's not fair for me to use that knowledge and whatnot, blending (ick) etc.

Hm. Okay, found two quizzes, and took them from Lydia's perspective.

http://www.quizilla.com/users/sillykniggit/quizzes /What%20would%20your%20Dungeons%20and%20Dragons%20 alignment%20be%3F%20(pics)

Results for this one: Neutral Good - Benefactor: A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them..

Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order.

Online Alignment Test

And the results for this one tell me: Neutral


:/

JewellRavenlock

Date: 2006-12-13 16:26 EST
I did the second one:
Based on your answers to the quiz, your character?s most likely alignment is Neutral Good.

Neutral Good

A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. The common phrase for neutral good is "true good." Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias toward or against order.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2006-12-15 16:29 EST
Hee, then I guess Jewell and Lydia are a compatible alignment at least. If this were a video game they'd fight in the same party and everything. :D

...

Anyhoo~ I realized that Lydia's past is like, not fleshed out... Actually, worse yet, is while going through some old threads here, it's just.. what I wrote months ago is not consistent AT ALL with the route I've taken with her. And like, I'd remember things wrong, and it's just... a big, big, big mess.

Though lately I've been thinking of her past, and might try to write up a little about it, so there's just a little something to base it on, and like, I'd have a reference to turn to that would actually be consistent and.. I dunno.

*sigh*

Thank God for retcon, that's all I gotta say. I've located some old threads, and totally deleted them for not being.. right. At all. Which can be confusing I guess.. the whole retcon thing, but I don't think a lot of people paid much attention then (because gosh, even *I* didn't pay attention obviously!) So yeah.. this is fixable I think.

I stole the format for the character info thingee (with some minor alterations), so I can' really take credit. I believe I took it from the Scathachian character info thread, but I'm not sure.

So, really, thanking me for it is like thanking someone on Napster for a song you got from them, which they got from someone else on Napster. It's not like the person you got it from is really any more responsible for its existence than you are. (Am I dating myself by referring to the days when Napster involved pirated music?)

::Runs in dragging D, sets her in a chair, and ties her up and gags her::

D:<

::Sends off ransom notes::

Anyways, that taken care of...

The latest thread re: The Marketplace is one of those threads that's not 'important' per se and doesn't have a deadline at all. Eventually, I will expand on it. Sooner or later, I don't really know, it just depends on when I get more ideas for it. Me and pressure and forcing writing? Psh, never works right. Though that's probably the case for everyone.

And yeah, seriously, you guys want D back? Send me money, thx~

I don't really have anywhere else to discuss this, so I'll do so here. Just want to speak candidly about the Mr/Ms Rhydin voting thing for a moment, because I notice not nearly as many people are participating in it now.

The revote was done for a couple of reasons. One of which, it was suspected that 'vote stacking' was occuring. I can't really think of a way to explain this.. ah.. okay. I have quite a few SNs, a couple of which belong to deceased characters. However when voting, I only voted as Lydia and Elly, because they were the only ones who had reason to vote. If I had all my 'characters' vote (even the deceased ones) It wouldn't be IC anymore, and it.. well.. that's vote stacking.

There wasn't really a way to find out for sure if this was happening or not, but if it was, we (D and I) wanted to deal with it somehow, that didn't involved dragging the admins into it. We weren't the only ones who suspected the stacking was going on, and some tried to 'correct' the stacking by doing some stacking of their own, which while appreciated, didn't really correct the problem, and made the voting even messier.

So it was decided a revote was the fairest way to handle things, for all parties involved. The way the voting is going on now, is how it should have been done in the first place, and I apologize for that.

I worry that the lack of participation is perhaps, the result of people being agitated, or maybe even angry about the whole situation? I really hope not, because the revote wasn't in any way an attempt to cause aggravation or point fingers, it was just done in an effort to be fair.

So I really do encourage people to revote and participate in the event once again, get things back on track. :) And remember, you can PM a vote, if you're uncomfortable with it being public knowledge.

And to those that have had patience about the whole thing, and have revoted, thanks! Events are nothing without participation.

Big thanks to the people that have been voting/revoting in the Mr/Ms Rhydin thing! There's still about three and a half hours though (no votes cast after midnight EST will be valid), so if you haven't done so yet... re/vote!

Then it'll all be over this time, I swear. :)

Whether or not I'm lying, your perception of my masculinity is the only thing I can think of that could lead to my being singled out so often.

It's sad, really.

In regards to the thread "Extracurricular"...

I"m having some mixed feelings about that one, to be honest. While talking in the lobby Jewell-mun suggested I give first person writing a shot, see if it worked for me. It's one thing to do it in a journal entry like that, but another to do something else, at least to me.

I'm having trouble with first person, as this is only coming out to be a more.. extensive journal of sorts, more long winded too, with lots of random rambling. :\ It's not really the direction I was trying to take it. Like, at all, but when I got to the parts where there should be action, or when Lydia interacted with another, my brain kept switching back to 3rd person, and I couldn't do it all in 1st, so it's like a disjointed mess where it's not entirely clear what's going on.

:\

I may edit, I may add on it, I may scrap it.. I'm not sure yet.

JewellRavenlock

I liked it! You could always try a mix of first and third? Or have a very omniscient 3rd person narrator who can tell everything Lydia is thinking?

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-03-23 12:36 EST
Thank ya! ^^

I may try that, rather than fight the urge to revert back to 1st person. If I finish this thread it'll most likely be more experimental than anything else.

I locked the Marketplace thread too. It wasn't done, but again, it just wasn't going to get done, but I didn't feel right deleting this one. Hence it was just locked.

Lydia Loran

Chibi - Japanese for small

It's a superdeformed style of anime or some such too.. I dunno, best to google it because my explaination sucks.

It'll probably be a while before All or Nothing is finished. Not exactly high on my priority list, especially since Lydia will be on "hiatus" (meaning I'm not likely to drag her in a public room, but it's not impossible) for gosh, at least a week.

..will be the dress Lydia is wearing, along with matching shoes of course. Her hair will be in a half updo, and the upper half will have Queen Anne's Lace braided into it. She'll also be sporting a bracelet of braided gardenias on her left wrist.

Putting this here for my own ref. and for the fact people will know what she looks like without me having to describe it again and again every 2-3 minutes. :D

This is Erin's dress. She'll have on similar shoes. Her hair will be pinned up and curly and there will be a tulip or two at the top of her up do.

She'll be wearing a necklace made of very fine glass beads Lydia brought back for her and very little makeup.

And don't forget the cute silver stud in her nose!

(Amthy's Dress )

Updos are -totally- in for the dance! Amthy's olivine-green hair will be up in an artfully mussed coiffure pined with gemstone butterflies. The butterflies are composed of lapis lazuli, spessartine garnets, yellow & pumpkin tourmaline, and gold. There is a matching armlet wound around her upper left arm and a loose bangle on her right wrist made of blue-green stained wood. Her dress is close-fitted to the thighs were it gently flares into an a-line midi-skirt. The green material sections graduate from opaque-to-semi-opaque-to-transparent which becomes more noticable the further one looks down the dress. This gives the material the appearance of shifting from a slate green to a pale moss. Instead of shoes, Amthy will have a narrow gold-toned ribbon tied around each ankle with the bows on the back side of her foot, above the heel. Her make-up is light/natural but is accented by the shimmer of swirling fae dust in shifting opalescent hues.

I went out today. I think I needed it, because I had strange dreams involving the cast of House. And Amthy.

@_@

And House was a werewolf, and was able to easily diagnose a patient as such because of it.. nevermind the dead body locked up in the back of her car. Foreman was the only one to care about that.

And Cuddy didn't like me playing in the mud in the middle of the road, that's when I went inside a house and saw Amthy and had to help her plan her wedding to Miles using Elly's sketchbook.

You can drop one of the Ns from that endorsement. Child meat has neither the tenderness of baby meat nor the aged flavor of adult meat.

The Alignment Test


Below you'll find your test result. After, continue on to your homescreen to discover what we're about.
continue to OkCupid homescreen
Your Score: Neutral-Good
66% Good, 54% Chaotic

Plane of Existence: Elysium, "Blessed Fields". Description: The plane of peace. Notable Inhabitants: Guardinals - noble immortal humanoids with bestial features.

Examples of Neutral-Goods (Ethically Neutral, Morally Good)

Cloud Strife (FFVII)
Boogenhagen (FFVII)
Mother Theresa
Ghandi
Sidhartha Gautama (the Buddha)
Gandalf
Bilbo & Frodo Baggins
Samwise Gamgee
Indiana Jones
The Dali Lama
Ben (O-Bi-Wan) Kenobi
Luke Skywalker
Harry Potter
Hermionie
Dumbledore

Often goes along with the laws and desires of the group as being the easiest course of action, but ethical considerations clearly have top priority. May pursue quite abstract goals. Often aloof and difficult to understand.

Will keep their word to others of good alignment
Would not attack an unarmed foe
Will not use poison
Will help those in need
May work with others
Indifferent to higher authority
Indifferent to organizations

Neutral Good "Pure Good"
"Benefactor"

A neutral good will obey the law, or break it when he or she sees it will serve a greater good. He or she is not bound strongly to a social system or order. His or her need to help others and reduce their suffering may take precedence over all else. Neutral good do good for goodness' sake, not because they are directed to by law or by whim.

This alignment desires good without bias for or against order.

It's like there's tons of different elven languages. Which... isn't helping me. I actually need a translator, that matches up with this: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~bronwyn/elvenwords.pdf

So far though, no such luck. So if anyone knows a translator that uses that language in particular please share. :D

This song makes me think of Erin and Lydia.

Alanis Morissette
Not the Doctor

I dont want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I dont want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I dont want to be the bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air
I dont want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
I dont want to be to be your babysitter
Youre a very big boy now
I dont want to be you mother
I didnt carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door

(chorus)
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at half past six
Well I already know that youd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see its too much to ask for and Im not the doctor

I dont want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon
I dont want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I dont want to be your food or the light from the fridge
On your face at midnight
Hey what are you hungry for
I dont want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I dont want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and Im afraid of heights
I dont want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window

(repeat chorus)

I dont want to live on someday when my motto is last week
I dont want to be responsible for your fractured heart
And its wounded beat
I dont want to be a substitute for the smoke youve been inhaling
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for

Since the test kinda sucks for non-real folk, I'm just going to make educated guesses to Lydia's stats~ (Which are probably going to be totally wrong)

Strength: 8
Intelligence: 11
Wisdom: 14
Dexterity: 13
Constitution: 8
Charisma: 12

Feel free to disagree/point and laugh, thx.

Okay, I've seen this particular piece of armor in certain character designs before. Don't really know how to describe it, so I tried to sketch it out.

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t6/VirescentElf/Image2.gif

Usually just a small metal thing over the chest, particularly the heart area. Held there by straps or.. whatever.

Anyways, anyone know what it's called? My knowledge of armor and armor piece names sucks, and I don't recall seeing anything quite like it in my armor book.

Okay. Let's say someone's hard drive is almost full, or at least compared to how it usually is. I'm starting to run out of space (have about 2 and a half gigs, maybe less now) where I usually made sure to keep 5-9 gigs.

Would that affect the performance of the computer? Like, make it slower? Cuz mine's been on the slow side lately and I'm trying to figure out why (is a computer dummy). Ran adware/spyware/virus scans so I know it's not that either.

HGLowe

Date: 2007-07-26 17:31 EST
It can. Your computer relies pretty strongly on having resources, both RAM and HD space. You might want to back up files to CD, or DVD or flashdrive and clean it up. May also want to run some kind of disk defrag program. If you have a PC, it's under the system tools off the start menu. But it takes awhile, be forewarned.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-07-26 17:48 EST
Oh yeah, I've defragged before. Usually do that at night as I sleep~

But right now I'm going through and deleting things I don't need, going to be putting things on CD and whatnot as well to clear up HD. I don't have much RAM but I never have and that wouldn't suddenly start affecting things.

What bothers me though is.. um.. the thing at the veeerry bottom. Taskbar, right? With the start menu button and all. I think it's called a taskbar. Twice today it just.. went away, and all folders I'd have open would go and close and no damage was done. Just annoying. :\

It wasn't that long ago I did a cleaning of the computer and got like ... 9 free gigs! Now I'm back down to 2... I don't even know what I'm filling this computer up with. *sigh* Though 8-9 gigs of it seems to be music. Oy.

And I seem to have over a gig of Spiderman comics here... I.. totally forgot about these. *facepalm*

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-07-26 18:18 EST
Okay, another dumb question from me.

Is there a way for me to get all of "My Favorites" from my AOL SNs without actually having to open up the AOL software? Cuz.. god.. I hate opening up the AOL software. Maybe there's a folder tucked away somewhere it's at? I dunno... I wanna get all my favorites from there, put them on Firefox, and once and for all uninstall AOL from my computer.

Since I'm deleting every useless program I have right now and all.

Grem

Date: 2007-07-26 18:35 EST
Looks like those are stored in a file by the name of the screen name under the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\WhateverVersionAOLYouHave\organize\. " Looks like it stores the data for every screen name you've made there (or at least the last ten, since that's how many are showing in my folder).
I'm not sure if there is a way to export them without going into AOL.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-07-26 18:43 EST
Shoot, no. Gonna have to open this piece of junk up. Oh well, thanks anyways. At the very least it'll be the last time I have to open it.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-08-02 02:27 EST
A little method to my madness here...

I told someone I'd work up some quick sketchings of how I go about things, but rather than just give it to them, I figured I'd post it here. Give people an idea of how I sketch and draw people. It's gotta benefit someone, right?

Anyhoo, bubble people suck. Lines and triangles and messy trial and error scribblings are my friend. And yes, my handwriting really is this awful. Never, never, never have I been able to improve it, even with practice, which I find odd but... whatever.

I'm a fan of not being afraid to be messy, especially if you have layers at your disposal. Scribble, and scribble over it, and just refine it a little more each time...

Mild Nudity Here: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t6/VirescentElf/method2madness2.gif

EDIT: Made the second picture a link rather than a full picture, since nudity is involved. Gotta think of the people at work and all. Stars are used to edit out parts so it's nothing at all graphic. Better safe than sorry though, no?

HGLowe

I've never seen triangles suggested before... man, that's kinda awesome! Thanks so much for posting this! I think I may give that a try next time.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-08-02 02:58 EST
And it depends on the pose too. I don't *always* use triangles. But like.. front view? The body can totally be made of triangles.. makes sense. (in a profile view though.. not so much)

I think whatever shape you happen to see when you look at bodies works. When I'd sit down and scribble, triangles were what eventually started popping out. But.. in the picture I'm working on now I used like.. uh.. I dunno, heck, I'll just post it.

Combination of shapes really. Just.. fleshed it out as I went along.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-08-02 03:11 EST

The professionals who don't even need a process like this. They just start drawing and out comes this.. like.. perfect body and face. With a pen or MARKER no less.

Okay, unrelated to anything thus far, but I felt like sharing. (Cuz I'm kinda excited about it..)

I just got a call from someone from a college my mom wanted me to talk to. He gave me some information on online courses and.. a lot of stuff. And honestly? I'm really interested.

If things pan out, this is something I plan to pursue.

Lydia Loran

:D So ya got 17,700$ to spare then?

-.o I really had no idea an ONLINE college education would be so expensive. I thought 4000-5000$ at worst. Worst. Estimation. On. My. Part. Ever. Yay for financial aid though.

And luckily mom seemed to not be surprised, and wasn't all "OMG NO WAI" about it. She was annoyed when she asked what course I was interested in and I had forgotten though.. but it was all long and technical sounding! Associate of Arts in Information Technology/Visual Communication.

Now I still gotta figure out what I wants to do exactly..

A while back, some people were talking about making a Rhydin swimsuit calender dealie... while a swimsuit calendar isn't exactly possible without a lot of effort, I can make a "Babes of Rhydin" calendar, and to do some 'shoppery I think I will~ Cuz I haven't done much shopping lately...

Anyhoo, I need TWELVE girls. One for each month of course. I even have an idea how to pass this off ICly. *pets a pumpkinhead* They make lovely scapegoats, no? The girls used need to have a 'model'. (ie, Keira for Lydia, Audrey Tautou for Erin, whoever Jewell's player is using for Jewell because I'm totally going to try and con Jewell's player into agreeing on all this)

I'll be using Lyds and Elly both if this pans out, to knock out two right there, which leaves 10. There's people I plan to bug, but before I resort to that...

...any volunteers? (you don't actually have to do anything other than agree to me OOCly I can do this with your character)

You'd not be the only one.

I don't remember when it was, but I had three people ask me a little bit ago if I had any intention on keeping an avatar AND portrait.

I was informed that I had changed it like six times in the course of two days. .. I refuse to keep one for any length of time!

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-09-02 00:00 EST
I'd keep them if I found any that *really* worked for me. I'm undecided on portraits, but as far as avatars go, I've only found one I've liked enough to use for a considerable amount of time, and sometimes switch back to it.

Alex Ravenlock

Bah humbug.

Go out to eat, and the steak they give us wasn't terribly good. Like. At all. And they were 12$ steaks a piece, and with other things, the meal was 34$. Which I guess isn't expensive to some if they're well off, but to us? That's pricey. We had a gift card, but still. So my mom calls the waiter over, and after a bit of talking, the steaks were taken away, and she gets a refund and we get buffet instead. But they didn't give her enough money back, so there was more talking. But she got it back. And the buffet was kinda meh, and the ice cream machine was broken, and I wanted steak, and blargh.



I just so rarely get to go out and it's vexing when nothing goes right. And nothing went right tonight. *sigh*

The waiter was very nice about everything though and mom ended up leaving him a 5$ tip.

I was reminded once more that it's only fair I create a 'Hunks of Rhydin' calendar to go along with the 'Babes of Rhydin' one. *grin* So if anyone wants to volunteer that'd be great, especially since I'm having trouble thinking of any guys in Rhydin that have a real person for their model, etc.

When I was younger, I used to be into the pretty boy look, like, hardcore. Now in my old age (ha) I find I prefer... guys with a little more masculine in them? Elly loves just about any guy though if he meets certain requirements. Interesting how our own tastes differ from our characters.

Probably because of the general "I like my men so and so" trend of it.

And Eddie Izzard is awesome. I highly recommend watching some of the other videos of him. He's an odd one, but quite funny.

Lydia Loran

November is like uber writing month. NaNoWriMo to be exact, but the NaNoWriMo thing of writing a huuuuge uber amount every day... like.. what, 50,000 words in total throughout the month? I know I can't do that. I'm not very prolific.

I know there are other places that have other writing 'projects'. I just don't know what they were.. I thought it might be neat to tackle one, or give myself a project. Like.. trying to work on a thread and adding to it at least once every day. Only problem with that is trying to think of a topic for said thread. I thought to maybe go with a mundane task, kinda like the shoe shopping thread. But I'll be closing that one soon, because... well... a mundane task, even given a little spin, can only be interesting for so long, no?

So, yeah. Any ideas on either a thread topic to maybe do that with, or a 'writing assignment' people take on in Nov? Feel free to share. :D

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-10-25 15:23 EST
Ha, I think I know what I'm going to do now. Word prompts.. which isn't my idea, or original, I know. I got a list from D who got a list from OtherN who got it from.. somewhere. And I remember seeing OtherN do this now, with the writing prompts, and I think I'm gonna give it a shot for my own little personal project this November.

The goal will be to work on a thread with the writing prompts, at least one a day would be ideal, but... it'll probably not be in any sort of chronological order or anything. Very random and snippet-y. But I figure that's okay. So.. woo. Here's hoping I don't fail at this when I start it.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-10-28 01:51 EST
Oo, I so suck for starting early on my writing project stuff. But I had time so... yeah. (In Tableaux. Which is in no particular order, remember? So its not sposed to make sense all together. Just think of it as snippets. Or something.) XD It's kinda like cheating, but the point is to be writing, so.. as long as that's happening, meh. I guess since I wanted something for every day in November the goal will just be at least 30 prompts/posts by the end of the month.

Have fun watching me fail? ;D

Used MS Word for a word count of Tableaux so far, just outta curiosity. Seems it's at 4,168? Yay me? I'm sure I'll get stumped next week (or today) and rip all my hair out soon enough.

Question for those who read here:

What do you think flows better in regards to Lydia's 'journal' entries, the writing(notebook falling apart, etc)? Or the tapes(Ramblings)?

Storm Divine

Date: 2007-11-04 11:00 EST
Personally, I think I like the notebook better.

And also.. the things tonight, I am assuming that it is going to start at 8:00 EST?

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-11-04 14:17 EST
Yup! Around 8 EST, give or take. That's when I'm going to try to be here, but I and others could be a little early or late, and it's not one of those things people *have* to show up at 8 or else they're bad. 8:30, 9, those work too, since it'll probably go on a little while. :)

Now, here's hoping nothing comes up on my side of it where I can't show up. It'd so suck if Lydia doesn't go to her own birthday thing. x.x

The notebook is harder I think, since Lydia's skills with writing is somewhat limited, so I try keeping that in mind, so sometimes I write big words or a particularly eloquent sentence so I'm like "Nooo" and have to change that.

And my cat is sitting next to me trying to reach out to tap keys. Aw, she's trying to help...

Jake Duncan

For me I like both. Course I am a personal insight junkie I love reading the inner workings of different charries. Not sure if I will be able to make it tonight, as I just got some rather bad news...so just kinda numb right now.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-11-09 16:58 EST
Regarding Tableaux, the new goal is 30 prompts, but not all within November. Things and SLs and opportunities presented themselves and I took them. Given the choice to write and struggle alone or work with others, well... I'll always choose the latter. *grin*

So yeah, it's not abandoned, but it's definitely on the backburner in a state of "It gets done when it gets done."

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-11-22 14:04 EST
Yay for panic, computer problems, and not being able to figure out wtf the problem is! :( :( :(

My computer, the tower part, is making a funny noise, and when the computer is cut on, it reads:

Diskette Drive 0 Seek Failure

And I looked, and I can't find much of anything on that, except it says something about BIOS and removing batteries, and etcetc and I'm boggled and panicked. Got XP system.. Dell computer.. if anyone happens to see this and could help, well, I'd <3 you bunches and bunches.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-11-22 14:52 EST
Pretty sure the sound I'm hearing (hum) is from the floppy drive too. Tried disabling it in BIOS and.. nothing. I didn't get the error message, but it still hums.

Grem

Date: 2007-11-23 06:29 EST
If you don't use floppies, then a quick fix to make the noise go away may be to just open up your case and unplug the drive (making sure not to overly jostle any other cables in the process). Regardless of the problem (which could be a few things, from what I'm looking at, and range in difficulty from resetting the BIOS or replacing the cable to having to actually know something about computers), disconnecting the drive from power and signals should kill the noise (unless it's a ghost, in which case you should call TAPS). Aside from the possibility of having to click "okay" or whatever when it tells you it can't find the drive, I don't think that would cause any problems beyond the drive itself, but I'm no expert on computer hardware. I've installed a drive by just plugging it in, though, without my computer setting itself on fire or anything, so I'd think going in the opposite direction would be alright.

Obviously, that won't do any good if you need the drive to work, but then disabling the drive in the BIOS wouldn't help in that case, either.


ETA: If the floppy drive's light stays on, it looks like it's probably a cable issue (though what I'm looking at seems to indicate that the light staying on is because of the cable being plugged in wrong, which isn't likely unless you've been mucking around in there lately). May be something to look into if you do need to have access to the drive.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-11-23 10:31 EST
I don't need the floppy drive.

It's lookin' like I'm gonna have to go in and disconnect it. :\ Wasn't really wanting to do that, but I guess I'll have to to get rid of this awful noise. Not exactly a priority now, since I don't think leaving it as is will destroy anything, but when I'm feeling brave enough to open up the computer for the first time, I'll go in and disconnect.

Grem

Date: 2007-11-26 06:41 EST
Also, it's a good idea to touch something metal to discharge any stored up static electricity, before going in there. I've been lazy about that without a problem, but it doesn't hurt to be careful.

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-11-26 13:00 EST
I'll keep that in mind. I still haven't gone in yet. Too scared I'm gonna fubar. Heh. Yay confidence!

Lydia Loran

Date: 2007-11-27 13:05 EST
I opened up my computer for the first time ever! But.. but.. there was a ghost in there, and I ended up having to battle some possession, and I was like "Ghost! I'm gonna banish you back to.. some place!" and he was like "lolz I R l33t" cuz he's a computer ghost. He was a little too much to handle though, so I called TAPS for backup, and they came armed with some holy water, and I was like "Haha!" to the ghost, and the ghost was like "Oh noes!1 Holy Water? !@#$" And I was like "Oh yeses." But we all struck up a deal where he'd appear on tv as proof of ghosts existing and me and TAPS are splitting a few mil. All in all, everyone wins.*

*Disclaimer, may be an exaggeration.

Actually, opening up was easy cuz there was a latch in the back you lift and the cover slides right off. I wtf my pants though when I saw how much dust had accumulated in the computer, so I spent a little while cleaning that out. Then I unhooked the floppy drive, which was a little difficult since the plug was on the other side and I didn't want to screw with wires to my cd drives too much. But really, the mechanics of the inside of a computer aren't nearly as scary as I thought they'd be.

But yes, sound gone, me happy. Etc. ^_^

Randomness.

I've been bumming a bit at times cuz I have this cat that's been missing for about a month now, and I was pretty attached. He's been gone since like.. before thanksgiving or so? At least that long. And he's a beautiful cat, and affectionate in a weird tries to eat my fingers off all the time way, but yeah, missing... and I had totally given up on seeing him again, but today he came home, and was meowing and skinny and starved and I fed him lots and we snuggled and he had a tummy ache and now he's napping.

So yay kitty coming home. :)

Dear Everyone,

Thank you. Why am I thanking you?

No one bothered to tell me that it's is ALWAYS "it is". I have always thought that it's was a possessive. But it turns out its is the possessive. Not it's. I have been writing this way forever. And only just now figured this out. It will take me a long time to break free of this habit, and I was rip my hair from it's scalp every time I screw up.

No love,

www.pandora.com

That's another site for music. It programs a radio station for you going off what songs you tell it you like and gives you the reasons for why it thought you might like certain new songs. It makes me feel like I have personal DJ buddy

www.projectplaylist.com

That one is good if you want to take the time to think of songs to put on your own playlist and it makes it really easy to get them off the internet to listen to for free (you can't download them obviously but it's good for when you're dying to hear some random song).

EDIT: Oh, and as far as spoiler tags go, just change text to match the background color?

RDI MOVIE

*Ahem* Now that I have your attention... :D I do strange things sometimes, stranger still when my friends talk me into it. Especially when they help out. Me and Ada-mun have collaborated on a video of.. RDI. Seriously.

You can download the movie by clicking on this sentence.

The movie was made in good fun, and not meant to offend, so please don't get offended if your character is in it, or if your character isn't in it. There's only so much time to be dedicated to a project like this.. and I totally accidentally erased over some files and lost others who were supposed to be in it. -.- Go L...

I drew, and Ada-mun did the amazing coloring and logo. Woo!

Also, you can download the pictures individually, if you'd like.

I'm not entirely sure why Alain has earmuffs and a scarf, but I fell over laughing the moment I saw him. xD

That whole movie was hilarious and really brightened my mood. Thank you both very much!

LOL!

It brought a tear to my eyes!

Nicely done! I think it's wonderful that you two conspired to entertain and to enrich the community by providing something that is sure to touch people more deeply than any would admit.

Thanks for including Kairee.

I just got to watch the movie and I have to say, it honestly made my day. I'm probably going to go back and watch it a bunch more times. It's really wonderful and thoughtful.

Nice positive boost for the forums :) And that Franco picture is just the best!

Though I have to admit, the scene with Tara and Cor had me dying! I love it.

<3<3<3 Yay more people liking. ^_^

Now. Here is something for my gamer/Mother 3 fan friends~ (To anyone else, it's not going to make much sense at all)

But I made an observation while watching an Alltel commercial the other day, and realized that Chad and Lucas sure look an awful lot alike.

Coincidence? :O

I just have to join the crowd and say that's awesome, Lyds. Thank you very much for putting the time and effort into that. It really made me smile.

First action at the Baker/Eve picture.

"She's so happy! ::Notices Baker's super long tongue.:: Ah, it all makes sense."

I do appreciate all of the love -- very much so! Thanks, all! I had a really good time coloring these pictures. I'm glad you all enjoy them.

Note: None of this would have been possible without L's amazing talents and knowledge of all the characters on RDI ever. Kudos to her! ::claps::

This is Lydia breathing fire after drinking Vodka Baker gave her. I drew it because Baker's player forced me to. *nod*

Much <3 to Soerl's player for working with me on the monster that is "An Amnesty in Passing". It's great when someone just rolls with my crazy ideas, or comes up with crazier ideas to tack on to it. XD

That's my forte. Being insane. :P

It was a lot of fun to play out that scene. Cooperation is what it's all about.

Ruffus regrets to inform you (through proxy) that some time this very evening, around the 10 o'clock hour, Eastern Time, his electricity was robbed from him by a short-but-slightly-more-violent-than-expected storm. As of sometime around the 10.30 hour, he was still without power, though he was striving and hoping for it to return.

I am saddened to bear this bad news, but rest assured that we still <3 you, no matter what the weather does.
