Ugh bad day.
So my friend Jo was supposed to come to our apartment today to help me plug in my new Power Supply, since the last one was DOA'd (Dead on Arrival). She comes at around 1~2pm - the only problem being me being a dumbass who went to bed at 7am that very day.
So I'm lacking sleep - because of Dragon Age, OTL. But at least I'll get my comp up and running finally, right? :D
She plugs everything in and it STILL does not work. After trying everything, she told me that it was either the Power Supply's problem, or the CPU/Motherboard (the Power Supply has a safety precaution thing that doesn't let it turn on unless everything else is working fine. Sweet, except...). Except the only way to test that is if you manage to get a working CPU/Motherboard - which my roomie's OLD computer may have, but he was out to work by then so I couldn't ask him. Sigh.
I want my new shiny comp, T___T And I didn't eat a thing since last night at 6 until today at like 4, and my stomach was churning and I already went to the bathroom like 4 times. OTL Is it really Thanksgiving today? Cause it's the crappiest day I've had in a while.
RANTING SET ASIDE! I think it's about time I bring back something I've been doing for two years straight now, ne? :3c So here it is!
RUKI'S CHRISTMAS REQUEST GIFTING '09 is back again, after
Xmas 2007 and
2008. I actually wanted to put this up since November 25th to give myself a month, but f-fff. 8D;;;
As always, this is open to any and all people on my f-list! So please don't be shy and request away! o/ The request forms are as follow, just as they were from last year:
Form:
Request: Please list three (two min?), in order of your most favorite to the least favorite. For the sake of flexibility; I'll try to comply to your #1, but if it's not working out, it'll be nice if I had other options. ^_^; Variety is loved!
1. [Fandom] - [Character/s(1~3 max)] - [Prompt (optional)]
2. [Fandom] - [Character/s(1~3 max)] - [Prompt (optional)]
3. [Fandom] - [Character/s(1~3 max)] - [Prompt (optional)]
Media: Just as before.
+MSPaint Chibi - see examples from last year, or just the
misc: kurisumasu tag of my journal; they're very dorky. :3c ...And will likely be done with a mouse. The reason why I was so eager to get my new comp set up is also because then I could use my tablet too, but looks like this'll take a while... /sigh
+Pencil sketch - a pretty big hit last year! ♥ ...Haven't drawn much this year, yes, but it's still around.
+Drabble - I draw more than I write, but I can still write. 8D; If this is a surprise to you, then maybe you would like to request a drabble to check it out?
+Iconing - No, I'm not that good, but I has some basic Photoshopping skills. 8D; It's still an option, though it goes without say that you will have to provide the picture. ^_^;
I'm not putting a limit to them because I never saw the need to, so please ask away! o/ It'll give me something constructive to do during the holidays, so I look forward to this, too!
2. Since I just found out about this at my job recently... I am also holding a raffle contest this year. :3 For what?
I will be giving away 2 BRAND-NEW COPIES OF EITHER DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS/A SIMS GAME/SPORES CREATURES CREATOR to two lucky people on my f-list. 83. For either PC, XBox 360, or PS3, or idk - it's your choice - whatever that's out, obv. I am also aware that there's like 34986790 Sims game, so which one am I talking about? Why, any! Just let me know which one you're interested in, I'll then go check it out and confirm whether or not it's available. Odds are that it will be, so I could then jolt down your demand. So how does this work?
Please us the following format:
[The Game's full name] - [Console of choice]
That is all. I originally thought of just offering Dragon Age: Origins, which despite for its rushed release and numerous bugs, is EXTREMELY immersible and a HUGE change from the usual JRPGs I think many of us are so used to. But then again not eveyrone may be interested, so that's why I'm also including SPORE Creatures and The SIMS. Though to be honest I have no idea how many SIMS games there are and for which system they're for, so if you've got an eye for these, you'll be the one who has to give me the full name and console. ^_^;
And unlike the Xmas artsy requests, this is open until December 3rd - one week from today. Once the time is up, I'll tally the requests of all the people who expressed interest, and do a draw. The two people whose name and desired game come up will get their copy mailed as soon as possible. That is all. ♥
...So you're giving away 2 games? What's the catch, Ruki? :|a
Of course there is one. ...Two in this case, actually. 1. I was hoping that the gifts would get to their destination by Christmas, but it still takes my workplace a while to process the order, and with the holidays coming and all... I may receive the games myself anywhere from 2 weeks to a month from the day that I place the order. So... you'll have to be patient. ^_^; As for the second catch... Well, if you win, you will obviously have to let me know your home address, by either PMing me on LJ or sending me an e-mail, which is publicly displayed on my profile. ♥
...Why?
Because I've got some good discount. :|b So pick a good game like Dragon Age! I don't really have any good answers for that other than I want to give stuff. If you can accept that, then we're cool, but if not, um... You don't have to participate? >3>;;;
So that is all! ♥ I know a lot of people have finals these days, so good luck with that, but if you're interested and got a minute, please fill these out!
