New Zealand Iceberg Invasion???

0.o

So little ol' me was minding my own business when I hear that New Zealand has issued Iceberg warnings as there are several hundred of the silly things floating down off the shore of Invercargill!
It will take a fair amount of power for them to get all the way up to the north island, but you have to wonder why on earth they are here-last I heard most of them were pretty comfortable down by Antarctica...

to BA and co.

moved the horoscopes to:
This Blog

so it didn't take up so much room

Okay so I think it's a fact...

Creating Quotes

is amusing, and great for boredom *tried and tested*
I've already posted one, if life gave me lemons... but I just wanted to point out how creative it is!
one that popped into my head today was:
I'm a very agreeable person- You take my guy, I will very agreeably shoot you! :)
I have no idea when I started creating these, but there are years and years of silly little sentences tucked away in my thoughts that I should probably start to write down!
And, predictably, I can't think of any right now, so I'll try and write a new one down every day!

Wow has it been that long?

I should really get into the habit of keeping a journal or something....
anyway, just in case you are wondering how my lifes going (you probably arent, but heck, I can dream ;))
- Rava and I went to a book convention where I got a *signed* copy of a book that doesn't ome out in stores until September, and I was forced into getting my face painted (:\) and I got the chance to talk to writers such as Fleur Beale (Juno of Taris) and Brian Faulkner (Brain Jack, The Tomorrow Code) and an artist, who was soo cool :D

- I have been role-playing with Ravenna and our good friend Erydus from Malazan of Evony. Good fun :)

- I haven't been working much on Posiedon's Daughter, but the fore ground is done, now it's just getting that bakground filled in.... eep! maybe I'll see what GIMP can do to help it....

- Twittering!!!!! I joined twitter, yes, scary I know 0_o http://twitter.com/Serpintene

well, that's all I an think of on the spot :)

THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks sooo much sometin, owe you big time mate!

Name Help?!

okay, so when looking out/ at the window on the bus ride home one cold day, I saw the shape os a head and wings in the condensation and decided to draw it ^-^
now I can't think of a name.... hmmm can anyone help me out?

I know it's really light/ hard to see
the lines are soft... and my scanner hates me *sigh*
but they are all there, if you tilt your monitor to some degree....
anyway
names would be a blessing :)

Elemental Sims... fun :P

okay so Rava left her Sims 3 game overnight, and I had a little bit of fun designing outfits for all 5 of our elemental characters... :P Here's the formal set:

Okay, from left to right,
Jasmine, Earth
Sirene, Darkness
Serpentine, Water (looks like me!!!)
Ravenna, Air
Madeline, Fire
enjoy!

Eeeek.

I hate it when my computer does new things... especially when those things involve unknown programs closing down features and my webcam turning itself on.... Stalker, if you are reading this, FUCK OFF!!!!!

Small Talk.... hahaha.

so, a friend and I had a veeery interesting conversation the other day.
Her father had gone to get his car fixed at some 'Man and Sons' company, and to pass the time had wondered aloud why the 'Son' wasn't working there any more. The poor guy was informed that 'Man's' wife had left him after 35years of marriage, and taken Son overseas. Then the guys house had burned down, and because of a clerical error, the insurance left him broke.
...Whoops.
Another incidednt we had heard of was a hairdresser who picked up a consolations letter that had fallen out of her clients pocket. She asked who it was about, and the client told her his 11 year old daughter had died of Malignant Hyperthermia (Fatal High Temperature) when his idiot wife had given the girl a hot bath!
again... Whoops.
But small talk almost never turns out well, has anyone noticed?

If Life gave you lemons....

I would march right up to life, and outline all the reasons why they were in fact, oranges.

Dragons!!!!!

dragons are pretty cool ^^
just thought I'd show you guys my depiction of dragons...



No real name as of yet...
among the girls at school it's referred to as 'ohmigoshwhatisthatcanIseeitohmigoshlookatthis!sooocooloopssorryohwellteacherwillgiveit
backattheendoftheperioddontworry'
.... so yeah, if you have any ideas for names, let me know!

Copycats *I has dem*

hee hee :D
I know you two are both gonna read this sooner or later but I'll post anyway
it seems my genius idea of consulting google is catching! :D
*ish proud*
for once I set the trends!
well, I wasn't exactly sure whether this was something to be proud of....
so I consulted google!
Most of it was rubbish, but here's a choice statement from the Urban Dictionary:

	Trend
	Nothing more then fads. A lot of people think that everyone just follows trend's because they want to look cool or be accepted or whatever you want to say. Not everyone is like this however, a lot of people just think that the way people dress in whatever the trend happens to be at the time looks cool or attractive. It seems nowadays that lots of people that say they are against trends but don't even seem to realize they're following a trend themselves. The people who seem to complain most about trends are not the ones that don't follow a trend, but rather the ones that do. A lot of people just tend to call out other trends because they think it's stupid, there are elitists in all trends. People need to get it through their heads that 'scene, or 'emo' aren't the only trends out there. They jsut seem to be getting a lot of attention right now. And, just because this bothers me, 'Prep' is a trend too. And despite the stereotypes, not all 'preps' are stuck up idiots with too much money on their hands. Despite the stereo types not all 'Scene' kids are stuck up elitists who just want to be accepted. Despite the stero types not all 'Emo' kids are depressed and unhappy all the time. Most trends are more about the fashion fo themselves than anything else. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with being part of a trend. Even if you get told your 'unoriginal' or 'just another scene/emo/prep/punk/whatever' kid it doesn't make you unoriginal. No one is exactly the same as anyone. People who are extremely anti-trend are usually more elitist then most people in the trends... Jake dresses like that because he wants to. Not because he's trying to be like everyone else in the trend. Trend A religon that attention-seeking highschoolers worship as an effort to mask the fact that they are worthless nobodys that will never have a life. Just go to any highschool... Wait! those aren't good! I take it back! I set the example!!!!!!!!!! :D (that was sarcasm, if nobody noticed 0_o)

Coming Up & Even Earlier work

just so y'all know, I'm working on another picture in paint, and thought I'd put the original here so you can see for yourself :D


'Posiedon's Daughter'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, and here is a VERY old one of the Character Serpentine:

from this:




















to this:

Satisfaction

I has it :D

'The Anger of Water'
took 3 weeks to completley redo this picture in PAINT,
from this:
not a bad job, if I do say so myself ^^ :D
Note: This is a drawing from age 13.

Injustice

Our world is full of it. And don't give me that 'life isn't fair' crap, that's exactly what I'm complaining about. Our world sucks. End of Story. Not really, but I'm too annoyed to think about that. Not after the only thing a friend talks to you about is your best friend, and that someone you thought of as close misinterprets honest advice as mockery and gives you shit for it.
So yeah. Our world sucks.

Ratties! <3

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
Just gotta say that I luff my rats!
*beams* Pepsi and Coke,
Domestic Black Hooded rats, with
reversed markings on each other :)
If that makes sense of course :P
but yes, my two little babes are
adorable, especially when they
cuddle up at night ^^
At the moment they're re-adjusting
the bedding in their hut, I must
remeber to get them a new tunnel
or hammock, they literally loved
the last ones to pieces ^^
:D well that's me for tonight!
*cuddles ratties*
Serpentine, over and out!

'Dedicated Nerd'

so, does spending nearly 12hrs straight on my laptop make me a nerd?
does choosing home over the ice-skating rink make me dedicated?
I wandered downstairs for a break not 5 mins ago, and poked my head into the room where my sister and her friend was watching some sci-fi shoot-em'-up. They turned when I came in, and to my surprise asked where I had been that day. When I told them in my room, her friend surmised that I 'really am a dedicated nerd.' I shook my head and laughed, but as I went back upstairs, I started wondering about this.
I've never really thought about myself as a nerd, so I consulted google.

Wikipaedia told me: Nerd (pronounced /ˈnɜrd/) is a term often bearing a derogatory connotation or stereotype, that refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests rather than engaging in more social or popular activities. Therefore, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by peers or will tend to associate with like-minded people.

and the Urban Dictionary said:
1. One whose IQ exceeds his weight.
2. An individual persecuted for his superior skills or intellect, most often by people who fear and envy him.
3. An 'individual', i.e. a person who does not conform to society's beliefs that all people should follow trends and do what their peers do. Often highly intelligent but socially rejected because of their obesssion with a given subject, usually computers. Unfortunately, nerds seem to have problems breeding, to the detriment of mankind as a whole.

"Nerds are clearly superior to us in every way.. Let's worship them as our Gods"
4. A stereotypical label used to describe a person that is socially inadequate. A four letter word, but a six figure income.

Think Bill Gates, but typically on a smaller scale.
5. A person who gains pleasure from amassing large quantities of knowledge about subjects often too detailed or complicated for most other people to be bothered with.

Often mistaken for Geeks, who aspire to become nerds, yet lack the intelligence, and end up giving nerds a bad name due to their poor social skills.

Non-nerds are often scared of nerds, due to their detailed knowledge, and therefore seemingly high levels of intelligence - and subsequently denegrate them as much as possible as often as possible.

Nerds exist covertly within the fabric of society, often choosing to 'nerd it up' in private or in the company of fellow nerds. It is for this reason they are feared the most - unlike geeks, who are easily identified, nerds can only be found out when casual conversation reaches a subject that they like nerding.

6. the group of people who will most likely make a life changing invention that will radically change the world. the computer was invented by a nerd. the macintosh/apple and windows were invetned by nerds. jocks and normal people have no claim to civilization except for being the hard labor. nerds actually do the thinking. so jocks, f*** you, and go eat your steroids

Nerds created almost everything that civilzation needs, such as computers, calculators, windows, etc.
7. A person who is intensely interested in a particular hobby or topic.

Rich is quite a computer nerd.
Ask Bill; he's the car nerd around here.

Okay, so there were 33 pages on the definition of 'nerd' in the Urban dictionary. This was just the first.
but basically what was said is that nerds are smart people, and are generally socially inept.
To my horror, this describes exactly who I am of late...
But it also says that being a nerd isn't such a bad thing. That sure, you get shit, but who doesn't?
So I guess what I'm really saying is that:
I'm officially a nerd, and damn well proud of it!!!!

Life Among Superiors

I'm not the only person that seems to be always looking up to everyone am I?
well, I hope not, because I do not exactly like it.
I've never really been a very hardcore gamer, and it seems when I play Evony, I'm constantly sizing up the odds of attacking/being attacked by those bigger than I.
It seems that as you become more succesful, those under you fall away, revealing larger, more dangerous opponents. uh oh.
But it's not just in Evony that I've noticed this happening. Everywhere I go, when I'm among peers, I seem to only be looking up at those sitting on the higher seats.
Why is this? Something to ponder on a rainy day
One confused girl, signing out

Yay! Hyperactivity rocks! And Broadband! Even Better!

okay, so yes, we got the broadband back *huge grin*
and uh, went to Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince yesterday. It was cool, but a little to fast-paced: a lot of details were skipped out.
BUT! after the movie we passed a lolly shop. And um, so I didn't sleep at all last night, to hyped up on sugar. Sorry, folks in the ReVo alliance of Evony! But thanks for putting up with me!
aaah yes.
Thats all for now :) going to go get more lollies!

So Why Does it Hate Me?

okay, broadband sucks. Seriously. I'm waiting until it resets (we've gone over the limit) so I can download Dragonica, a MMORPG, and its being stupid. The internet/download speed is starting fast, then dropping to around 3kb per second. Huzzah.
SO, looks like another day spent jsut waiting!
