I am extremely pleased to announce that I dinged 79 today. Yep.

last level...just one more level.

LONG haul getting to this point, but I really feel I've learned a lot playing WoW, and I really do intend to celebrate my reaching 80, when I get it.

I'm just pleased with myself right now, lol.

And as much as I griped about her, I can't imagine playing anyone but my rogue, lol.

You know you're attached to your books when you find yourself refering to the disposal of some older books as "culling."

Heh. Rough day.

Sibling smashed my finger in a door, it is now a most unlovely shade of purple and green.

Personnel told me I have pretty much a snowball chance in hell of transfering as a full-time cashier, despite my years of experience and desire to move up. Best I could do would be to be part time. In which case I would lose my medical. Can't do that. So must think more now. Medical is too important to me for me to risk losing it, even at the cost of possibly not being able to move in with Matt as planned.

Art is lagging at the moment. I owe about 5 commissions. I have an outstanding one from last year, an oil painting, which I was hoping to start on tommorrow, but with my finger like this, I don't know.

My body also decided to announce that it is female, and I get horrible cramps, so yar.

Grouchy, moody, irritated dragoness.

That being said, HEY, ANYONE WANT AN INVITE TO A PET SITE?

I have two invites to Aywas (http://www.aywas.com/index.php) if any of you like a site that is very addictive. And has beautiful art. Heh...some of the artists on my list might really really like this place, as it's still relatively new, and you could concievably become a site designer as well as a player of it. SO yar, I have two invites, and am looking for two folks who won't abuse the site, lol.

Got epicly grounded recently. Lost internet. Still restricted to a time limit.

Said a very very bad word in a fit of anger. Yep. Lost my temper.

So, if you don't see me for awhile again, that's why.

Should also post this. ^__^

Still offering $5 Single Color Commissions. ^__^

Folks who do animation, or know folks who do, I have a very very specific commission I am wanting to get. It's going to be for Christmas, so it's a timed job, but hopefully not very complex.

What I'm wanting is an animation of a very very cheerfully happy dragon hatchling trotting along the conveyor belt of a walmart cash register, making happy little motions like swinging his tail, bobbing his head, etc.

It's a running gag between myself and my boyfriend that that is how he amuses me when I"m at work, texting me the idea of him rawring at customers and trotting along the belt, just as happy as can be.

Know anyone who is up to this challenge? Let me know. ^__^

Mmmm....looking forward to that new dragon movie, "How to Train Your Dragon" Looks pretty good. ^__^

I admit it, I've become addicted to another pet site.

Aywas. Fun place. :)

So my mom basically told my dad that he has until tommorrow evening to make things right, or he's moving out.

Apparently he's chosing to move out?

I'm feeling ill and just generally not well. So I'm going to bed early.

And I've discovered, despite the claim that 5-hour energy drink won't make you crash, it most certainly will.

Unpleasant at best.

Anyways.

We came home tonight, and I kid you not, there was a bat roosting above one of the main windows on the front of our house.

Seriously.

We left the little dude alone. Was only about half the size of my hand, and very poofed-up. probably cold, or taking a nap. Dunno.

critters like that, you don't even TRY to get a better look at them, you just turn off hte lights nad leave them alone.

Weee, I'm playing the "Find the Virus" game today.

I use AVG, the free downloaded virus-software. It works pretty good. It tells me when suspicious things pop up (damn, the internet is very full of bad cookies and such).

Well me being curious, was following some furry-drama links, and one of hte sites that hosted a link I clicked on made a new virus pop up, one that was attempted to masquerade as Windows Defender.

Now, while i have that one on, I don't use it, and it's never done internet-based popups, so I knew it was a bad thing.

So all morning, been trying to get AVG to scan, been deleting things, all of the histories, cookies, anything and everything. Might have finally caught up with it now (a fake-looking Windows Defender icon appeared on my desktop...I deleted it and what it was associated with). My assumption was that since it was a string of numbers/letters rather than saying somewhere Microsoft/something official, it was the virus.

My hope is that it is done.

Wow...it was scary though. It was trying to do everything from remote accessing to popping up over 50 popups...damn, it was not cool. NOt cool at all.

Edit: NOPE, still got it. Now I'm following the instructions listed on a Windows Message board, downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, letting it do it's thing now, so maybe this will fix it.

URGH, I do things right with my computer. I don't go places (normally) that induce viruses. From what I've been reading though on the forum/message boards, this one is a rather common virulent one lately.

BLEGH.

I wish I could afford Norton again. >.< it sucks to get bad things.

HEAVY VENTING coming up.

*giggles* I got to be a TANK tonight. Seriously! A couple lower-level folks needed a run through the Sunken Temple, and well, I like to help folks, so I volunteered. Heh, it was some of hte most fun I've had in a long time. I slaughtered mobs left and right, killed bosses, slayed evil dragons.

I took nothing, looted nothing. The only thing I did was skin things. Which I gave to one of them as a gift at the end, lol.

I believe in kindness. Matt chided me for giving all of the leather to them, when I could have kept it and sold it, but I don't feel bad. I had a blast of a time, and that was my thank you to them.

They each got about 3 pieces of equipment they could use too. It was a very lucky run, numerous blue items for them.

It was fun. very much so.

*gigglefits*

Wow...I've had a very very amusing revelation of late.

I've discovered, that in my hunt and searching for how to use what is Dragon and what is Magick within me, I've found a path of magickal learning that is very very helpful to other dragons. I've found I can argue and explain better than I ever was able to.

I can speak intelligently about dragon magick! Damn, when did that happen?

It just made me giggle.

Chaos magick and dragon magick are so close to the same thing...putting the two together has ended up this vast and fascinating experience for me that I learn more from every day.

It's astonishing really.

And now that I've shared that, I am off to go work on art today. ^__^

Discovery today:

Little Rogue has grown up. I'm in a group with four other folks, and they're all the same level as me, right? We're taking on a big elite monster.

The one fellow that started the group, he tells me to hang back and jump in if they need help. He says, he's a tank, he can go at it easy, no problem.

I don't do that(can't stand to hang back in a fight!), I go stealth and I do ambush. I'm at the monster's butt, doing a fair amount of damage (stacked halloween candy for the win!)

Two minutes later, two of them are dead, and I'm still alive with more than half of my HP left, fighting nearly solo. I was the only one left, monster still had about 20K HP left, and I just kept up, using my skills like I've been doing, and then BAM, the monster dies.

And I"m left feeling like...dude....rogue got strong. When did this happen?

Level 75, and she's kicking ass! WOW.

My grandmother came out of surgery. She's listed as critical but stable.

They had to remove another section of her small intestine.

Turns out to be what I thought. The chemo she's been on, it's kept her original wound, from the first surgery way back before they found the cancer, from healing properly. Her intestines basically decided to emerge through the weak tissue of her stomach wall. So, she's gotten all stapled and fixed now, but will once again be in the hospital for a long time.

So I play WoW tonight, because I can't yet sleep.

Round and Round we go.

SO, long story short, my mom got a call at 3 that my grandmother is ill.

Food is coming out of her stomach-wound, undigested. Apparently my grandmother freaked when an entire green bean decided to poke out of her.

They've known that the healing of my grandma's original surgery site, where they tried to repair her intestines, was not healing. That's because of the chemo-meds. They inhibit natural healing.

Apparently though, there's been a step backwards now, and the original wound has gotten worse.

Hopefully not infected.

They're at hte doctor now.

So I don't know what's going to happen. Probably more hospitalization.

And I'm going to work, going to stress about things I'm sure.

Did I tell y'all that I saw my dragoness self at Walmart the other day? Was on my break, sorta dozing, and in that half-world that I tend to live in sometimes, and saw her go padding by, past my mind's eye. Clear as day, sorta like a vision.

She's BIG in her native form. Like a very lanky wildcat crossed with a great dane. the top of her head would ahve been level with mine. She was a big girl!

Was an interesting thing, one I am mulling over.

Spending more time at Draconic.com is bringing the dragoness in me back to the front again. :)

Eeee! Excited happy dragoness! TranSiberian Orchestra, for whom I absolutely fangirl and fawn over, has a new cd coming out! And it's uber-cheap preorder! EEEE!

http://www.amazon.com/Night-Castle-CD-Trans-Siberian-Orchestra/dp/B002K9RTR6/ref=reg_hu-wl_item-added

DO WANT. DO WANT INDEED.

Wish I could go to see them in concert, but alas, not this year.

And in other news, a person who does absolutely awesome little dragons (Kito, Artic, y'all saw the little dragon I bought at AC? that person) is about to open for commissions again, so mayhaps I'll get a little Raziel plush to cuddle with.

Eee, happy news. ^__^

So yesturday, I finally recieved my 24 pack of Prismacolor Drawing pencils. YAY for that.

Along with them, I got a gift. a 24-pack of DERWENT drawing pencils. I"m going to keep those.

So all was resolved, but damn did it ever take forever.

That does still leave me with the charcoal set of 24 prismacolor drawing pencils, which I got to keep. Still going to sell those, if anyone is still interested. :)

Meh...lessons learned. Not dealing with that person again. Or I should say, that company.
