so what have *you* been up to?
I have been such a terrible LJ friend. I hope you guys can forgive me. I promise I will catch up with all of you tomorrow. (I have time to myself scheduled, yay!) Holidays are always hectic..
Anyway, if you don't know about Gorey Details, you should really go check it out. They have some great stuff! Its one of my favorite sites.. (that of course I completely forgot about when going on a shopping spree, heh)
Other then that, I have been doing rather well. I am feeling much healthier and I am even contemplating a trip to play in the snow for a couple hours tomorrow.. Though I may be going alone (again) because Kindergoth is still coughing a lot. Heh.. the last time I went, I got my car stuck in the snow. This time I am vowing to be a bit more careful. It's times like this when I really miss Loki. That car could handle so much.
Imvu has been a blast as of late. Though some people are really just blowing my mind. Since I make products, I always try to thank those who buy them. And some one bought one of my products for another person as a gift. So I go and thank said person. Said person then gives me a gift that is the equivalent of over $25. No one has EVER spent that much on me on a site that is really nothing more then pixels on a screen. So, I go and I thank said person again, asking if I could return the favor. They reply with a basic no and *another* gift that was about $7-8. So I go back and thank them once again for being so kind and that they really didnt have to give me anything, and they don't have to respond at all and that I dont need anymore presents, that I am just very appreciative and what do they do? They respond with *even more* gifts. They don't have a wishlist or anything so there isn't much of a way I can return the favor. So I gave them what we call a sticker for their page, chided them a little for not having a wishlist because it made if difficult for me to give anything back, and basically ran.. no matter how rude I feel like I am being. I feel like anything past this point, I am taking advantage of them.. I am just baffled by this person.. I really am. Gosh.. though now that I think about it, I shouldn't have even done that much. This is just confusing.. I am not used to people doing stuff like this. I mean, giving me a small gift is one thing.. but the most expensive items on my wishlist each and every time??? Sheesh! Especially when I dont even know you! ~dies~
Heh... So uh, Bastian... ^.^;; I have two brand-spankin new blue rooms to explore when you find the time.
Other stuff, ah.. My interest in my video games has renewed itself. I think that deep down I am trying to play my ps2 into the ground so Ecamer will realize my obvious need for a ps3. The ps2 games have been really lacking since ps3 came out. I haven't bought a new game in forever. Course, I have only technically beat 4 of the 8-9 games I actually bothered owning. (And I know some of you are saying that X-box360 is much better, but sorry, I really like my Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games and I cant afford both consoles, so there you have it. Besides! Folklore! I must have that game as well ~nods~) Look at me.. I'm being all materialistic. Who needs diamonds when there are video games?
I played around in photoshop the other night. Actually I had been working on this for awhile and then just stopped because I wasn't certain where I wanted to go with it. But you know.. sometimes life just throws things at you (especially when you are tired) and then in some twisted way, it all comes together. So this is a result of something like that. I was told it's "very Alice in Wonderland", and looking at it I can see that. Anyway, it's very personal to me.. The key, the lock in the hat, and the heart all have a meaning to me as does the girl herself.
Critically speaking, there is only one area that really bothers me. But I was really tired by the time I got to it and I really wanted to finish this pic before I went to bed so I am going to let it slide.
And now I am tired. I need to catch up on my thank you notes and write a short letter before I expire. Weds. Wednesday I will promise to make an effort to play catch up. I will be diligent and respond to emails and comments and neopets. (Oh my beloved neopets how they are suffering right now.) But for now, I go to bed.
EDIT: CRAZY IMVU PERSON STRIKES AGAIN!!!
That is all.
