I can has dragon?
General | Posted 17 years ago>:}
So! About a month ago I was browsing through some ancient sketches I still had lying around from high school, and noticed a proliferation of dragonyness! At the time he was a silver drake and called something very different, and was the protagonist of a series of 15-30,000 word short stories.
I thought I'd update him a little, so now he's a bronze dragon, which according to those sexy, sexy geeks at D&D aligns him a little more precisely with my real personality. His new name is Zahame (za-hA-meh) and he's TINEH for a dragon, apparently.
All his dimensions are on his new character sheet, but for sh!ts and giggles, he's 4'10" at the shoulder, 4' at the hips, 28' long from snout to tailtip, 15' of which is tail. His wingspan is around 40' and he has curly horns like a ram.
Have fun if you see him lurking on Furnet >:}

Blarg, birthdays.
General | Posted 17 years agoWas my 22nd today. Yesterday...whatever. At risk of sounding emo, I intensely dislike birthdays for a plethora of reasons.
I guess one of the main reasons is I've never liked being the centre of attention. Being a Taurean, and born in the Year of the Tiger, my personality is very much Earth-related. Damn, I dunno what that has to do with anything now. *peers accusingly at the mostly empty bottle of whisky next to him* I guess what I'm getting to is that being an Earth sign, I love a sense of harmony and peace, and to achieve it I bend over backwards to please everyone.
As with most things though, it's hard to please everyone. So usually by the end of a birthday I end up fairly drunk and in a massive blue about the day, because I invariably feel like I've disappointed or let someone down. I didn't even bother getting out of bed until after midday this year. That in itself let my mother down, since she's always more excited about my birthday than I am. I've felt it for a few years, as though the only reason I even bother to acknowledge my birthday is for the sake of the people around me. I know I should be celebrating properly but...to be honest I don't have a clue how. My 18th was a disaster, 19th I didn't celebrate, 20th was the same...my 21st my family were over from overseas, so there was a big family party, but nothing much on the friends side of it. This year, I have more close friends than ever before and a reason to celebrate, but my heart's just not in it.
I don't know.
Maybe next year.
