thirteenth Wonderland ~ For all your Random Developemental Needs

Sun, 14 Oct 2007 17:34:28 GMT

I got nudged!

I'm sorry for the slow posting. I moved out to Liecester for Uni, and things have gone crazy. I'm ill, the social is arguing with other agencies over my personal care and my PA for Uni is being restricted as to what help he can offer...

Add to that the blog I had to start for my course, and a bunch of work..... its overwhelming. I should be back soon, hopefully. Sorry!

Ha ha ha, I am sooooo not ded o.o.

Yeah, so summer's been pretty uh..... interesting. What with the decorating of our ENTIRE house top to bottom, our complete lack of hot water and a whole week of UNEXPECTING SIBLING in my house. We've had one death, my paternal grandmother sadly passed away from cancer last month. Not to mention my holiday to Scotland, and an eventful trip to the British Museum in London. So yes. But does all this mean I have been absent from the internet? No in fact... So why not LJ? Well, I was sucked once more into Furry Paws, an online dog sim game. Why? Because its amusing, and I've finally found out how to be successful; make dog related art. I've been selling comissions on there (only for pretend money, unfortunately) for the last two and a half months, with varying degrees of success :3.

My place at Uni is confirmed, and my accomodation is booked. I declared myself independant from my parents, so the government has given me a full grant, and the uni a mandatory bursary. That give me a total of £3k to live on next year, along with loans for my tuition fees and also my accomodation. On top of that they're also giving me a new lightweight laptop, a scanner, a colour printer, a dictaphone and more gadgets than you can name to make my stay easier, so I'm very much looking forward to going now :3.

But the best part of my summer? Right now :3. This afternoon is my second day at Greenbelt festival at Cheltenham Racecourse, and my God has it ever been fantastic. I employed myself a willing slave to push me everywhere all weekend, and all of a sudden its sunny again. I have sunburn and a cold, which I am taking the time to appreciate the irony of right now (my boyfriend gave me his man flu). I've cheated a little bit and I'm not staying in a tent, but a travel Inn up the road. Hot showers! I can't even get one of them at home at the moment. I've never seen a live band before in my life, not to mention the crazy people are just the best :3. No body cares that the combination of my hat and my curly hair makes my head look more like a mushroom than ever, either, which is always a bonus. Camp food is better than expected, although I have cleared my bankaccount for September, and the month hasn't even started yet!

The art installations here are deffinately very... modern. I have photos of giant paperclips and milk bottles hanging from trees, not to mention the life size angel's wings that you can stand infront of to get your photo taken! People can be a bit shitty though. They don't like being told to do things by the stewards, and I clipped one lady's ankle by accident this morning, and she made such a fuss that you'd have thought I knocked her down! I almost told her she should try sitting in my chair and getting bashed my bags all day, but I am trying my best to be utterly pleasant this weekend :3. TBH I'm very proud of myself; I'm sunburnt and tired and sore, but I am not complaining. I haven't sworn at a single bag wielding maniac, and I've happily sat through every event my friend has taken me to. Mostly these have been hysterical; where else would you see two grown men singing 'Mr Smedly (Silent but Deadly)' to a Eucalaly (sp?), or a bishop on stilts with a carboard moustache? And not one single person has questioned my faith this weekend, which is nice. It would be rather amusing if they did, considering most of my beliefs are considered to be unChristian, and I never go to Church for the services these days. :3.

So anyway! Once more into the breach, I feel like unlocking that fantasticly clean disabled loo once more (no one else thought to bring a RADAR key, its brilliant!) and going to mooch for some food. I hope everyone else is having a fantastic summer!

PS. Have this picture of a wolfie. I drew the outlines in paint! So Happy!

Colours are done on photoshop though ;)

Not that anyone really cares, but this is my Alter Ego's main shapeshift. The glowier the markings, the more likely she is to attempt to rend you limb from limb. The idea is that the glowiness nukes any ninjaish abilities, I mean that thing is so large it could hardly creep up on one if it glows in the dark too!

Home home. And don't I bloody know it >>.

I haven't had a chance to check my friend's page, so please dun be offended by lack of comments. I may not be able to go back date them, I dun have an awful lot of time... although I do. If that makes any sense.

So yeah. Home. Dropped my boyfriend off home on the way, and his parents didn't even bother to come out and say hi. Talk about rude, and my Granddad was wholly offended. And did I know about it the rest of the way home, and I don't blame him. Apparently, the first thing my boyfriend got by way of greeting was a mouthful of lecture about moving that fucking computer, too. I want to take something large and heavy to the bloody thing.

Oh yes. And his parents are having a party, which they expressly invited me to. But only for the day, because relatives are staying. Its like... but you know I live 40 minutes to an hour from your house. How on God's Earth am I supposed to get there? My Grandmother certainly can't drive there and back twice in one day. And if I get the train, I'll be there too late, and they'll moan because my boyfriend will have to come and meet me from the station. Oooooh, and all the family is going to be there. The family I haven't met once despite us dating for four years. Not to mention that by a bizzarre turn of circumstance, he now has the outfit I was planning to wear, and it needs washing, and he can't go anywhere all week because omigosh he has to help them... and... and...

I wish I'd never come back from Scotland. I had a wonderful time. Weather was crappy, but it didn't matter. Missed the bomb in Glasgow by about 20 minutes, mind you. Got stuck in the gridlock of traffic there for two and half hours on the way up... but still. And now back to home. The decorators are back Wednesday, and I am once again alone, and stuck in my bedroom for hours on end.

On the upside, I should be on LJ a lot more >>

Okay, I'ma gonna warn you... I think I may become rather offensive in the rest of this post, so don't read down if you're particularly sensitive to violence or swearing, k?

Well, what a fucking week >>.

It looked like it was going to be pretty much sunshine and roses. College is finished, I only had my show left. Results were due in, but I was feeling pretty cofident. Even better, the b/f was home from his delivery trip, and his parents have gone away for the week. Brilliant!

So anyway. I did the obvious thing and went to stay at his house on Friday... Well. His brother has to be the most arrogant, spoilt little shite I have ever ever met. Normally I don't have to deal with him, because Mummy and Daddy sort out the disputes, but of course they were away o.o The kid is 17 for Chrissake, but you couldn't tell. My b/f's mate has to do all his college work at my b/fs house (long story) and he had to move the computer to the attic from the spare room. Fair dos, college is almost over, and he has a final push to get everything done. So my b/f moves the gaming computer from downstairs into the spare room, so he can use it for a couple of days. I mean, there are TWO more down there, and it was only for the weekend... But we had everything. Howling, screaming, swearing... On Monday, when his brother came home from school at lunchtime and found it was not put back, we even had deaththreats. OVER A COMPUTER! FFS. OoOoOoh then B/f decided we would have some people over Tuesday, because we're going away this weekend etc. His brother forbade it. He pretty much ignored him, we made sure he has space to do his work that evening, in the study (which he can lock). Brother comes in TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATE and SCREAMS at our (and his!) friends to get the fuck out of his house before he called the police.

Needless to say, the more he screamed, the longer they stayed in the house. We're stubborn like that.

So yeah. I came back again Wednesday, to find that our house sitters have bailed on us last minute, and my Grandmother is desperately trying to find somewhere for our two dogs to go. She even asked me if I would be upset if I stayed behind... But I already paid her for our rooms on the way there/back. But she never booked them... and now we're going up all in one go in about an hour, because there was no one to have puppy until yesterday afternoon ><. Then the house sitters declare they're coming anyway, only later.... I wash my hands of them. The husband is sulking because he can't go on holiday with my Grandparents (another long story.)

Wednesday evening was my art show at college. Everyone came, Dad/Stepmum, Grandparents, both carers with their kids, and all of the class people. Only my Dad has some bad news ~ My paternal Grandmother (who has bone cancer) was rushed to hospital the night before. But that's all I get out of him, and I have no idea what's really wrong >>. Thursday I had to go back in to take everything down and collect all my last few bits from the room.... Friday I went back for my certificate. I passed :3. But on the way there, my Grandmother deems it time to tell me that in fact my Dad rang Thursday evening to say that they'd only given my other Grandmother a few days to live. BUT NO FUCKER THOUGHT TO TELL ME, DID THEY? No sir. Not till I was in the car on my way to fucking college. To everyone telling me to have a wonderful fucking summer, and looking obviously hurt because I was not cheerful...

And then back to pack. I must have gone down half my room to find everything I need. I text round everyone to tell them I passed, and added onto the end of my Dad's text asking him to tell me if anything happens. I don't care if I'm on holiday, I still want to fucking know. I am sick and tired of getting everything second hand, because no one want to tell me. Its like, an old lady who was a friend of mine and my Grandmother's died two days before my birthday, and I only found out on my birthday when my Grandfather stood and told my father at great length what had happened, and I happened to be in earshot....

But nevermind. I'm going to Scotland for two weeks in an hour and a half's time :3. Hopefully, I'll be back sometime around the 14th. Peace out.

This is scarily accurate, me thinks.... Especially the avoidant/dependant parts. The summary on their website of avoidant personalities pretty much sums me up in a list of points T_T.

Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: Very High
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: Very High
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: High

OMFG JOURNAL! YAY! So.... Hyperactive....

Yus! Yay for muchly muchly roleplaying. I still can't decide which game idea to take up for my summer project.... its either Zombie Apolcalypse game.... Pern forum RP.... or major overpowered cityfight type explody forum RP. Damn I hate making decisions. But I know that if I run more than one, I'll end up doing a half assed job of two which is so not fun...

Aaaaand in other news.... Ray (the b/f) successfully stopped over at Waymouth today, for refuelling and restocking on the way to Sweden. He should be there in time for the Summer Solstice, lucky bugger. He did suggest I fly over to meet him, but I need to be here to get my course results T_T. He's been having some strange dreams lately in relation to myself lately, and that last one was about dancing. Its kinda unnerving. And everyone now thinks I have a split personality as I refer to my SN in third person when I'm talking. ie 'Kage does not like you.... -.-'. And to be fair, she is becoming a rather disturbing influence on my life, which is kinda worrying. And my boyfriend sent her a text today. Which is just so weird....

Aaaaaand wut else. Nothing. My Grandmother is grumpy because she won't go to sleep of a night, and she thinks I'm lazy. To be fair, I am lazy, but there's not an awful lot I can do with the house in the state that it is. *Sigh*

I haff lost all of my drawing capabilities! I have two Xchange pictures due for the end of the month, but I can't seem to get either of them down on paper, so to speak. Rawr.

K x

OoooOOh! I forgot to add a couple of these. I had a scary big cat karma thing going on when I went to the zoo. No word of a lie, this snow leopard normally just lies in the one part of her enclosure all day... and I went over, so she got up, and moved right to the middle. And then she stared right at me for like ten whole minutes... then walked over to where I was standing at the window, and was like 'am ready for mah closeup nao'. And the cheetah and Jaguar came and paced across the exacty section of fence I stood at. And the big fluffy white lion looked up at me from his sleeps. o O.

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:31:48 GMT

Okay, seriously, why doesn't HTML Coding work in my journal? All these little test things, mah results won't post properly! T_T.

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 17:40:52 GMT

Ha ha. As soon as I said I would post more... *sighs*. I been feeling cruddy for a week or so, and it turns out I have the flu... all aches and pains and no apetite. I thought it was stress over my deadline, but I've been in bed all weekend. And just... eugh. Oh well.

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 17:04:55 GMT

So, apparently I should post more, lmao. Okay.... well, yesterday I set up a URL for a new website that I want to spend my summer putting together. I'd like to make a website where disabled people can find pretty much everything at once, because support is hard to come by in some areas, and sometimes there are facilities right under your nose, and you don't know they're there. For example, I bet that very few people realise that the swimming pool in Fort William is phenominally well equipped for people with every kind of disability. Then again, maybe they do... but I wish I'd known sooner! I go up there to stay every year since I was 10, and I didn't find out till last year :P.

Other than that.... I feel terrible. I have a fluey thing. And I also got a letter telling me that they're gonna charge me going on £50 for some library books I haven't returned. Thats all very well, but the building work has blocked my access completely, and as far as I was aware the library has been closed due to flooding damage for going one three weeks now o.O. That's gonna be a fun phone call on Monday.

Ooooh, and I went to Ikea and baught some of my stuff for Uni. I haff decided that my colour scheme (yes, Ikea makes these things possible for uni students with no monies XD) is gonna be lime green, black, blue and white. But emphasis on the lime green and black. Whee ~ So excited. Just gotta hope I passed now!

Now... off to recruit some players for the zombie apocolypse.....

Fri, 08 Jun 2007 19:48:35 GMT

Ye Gads, Finally! Yes, my FMP (Final Major Project) wa\s handed in today, and now I have the time I need to dedicate to LJ! lol. I'm afraid that, barring a fail, you should be seeing a lot more of me from now on :P. Omigosh what a day though. I spent hours trying to make the printer do what I wanted, only to have to cut everything out and stick it in and I was no where NEAR finished.... T_T I just hope that I did enough to graze a pass. There wasn't enough annotation on my sketchbook pages, I fear, and they may severly penalise for not knowing my thought processes, having no evaluation and also the lack of comprehension in my research T_T. Damn bugger wank.

But other than that.... My Boyfriend got a last minute job sailing from Portugal to Sweden for the next two weeks, so he flew out yesterday. I have all of next week off, so God only knows what I'm going to do with myself. The downstairs of my house is literally a building site at the moment, as my Grandparents are redecorating like.... everywhere. I'm just glad this time no one has any call to be in my room at stupid times in the morning!

Off to Ikea tommorow to buy some of my uni furniture! I so excited! Sad as it is... I been looking forward to going for weeks now. We were supposed to go last week, but unforseen circumstances, ie my Grandmother forgetting to timetable me in, stopped me from going, which was kinda sad. But nevermind!

Back to scheming for my zombie game for the summer, I think!

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 22:19:51 GMT

I didnae work for me o.o. My personality test only displays as code. Am I doing something stupid?

Ohs. Here, have a random charrie design. The deadline for my project is Friday, and I has many more things to do before then :3.

This is the design for the second person in my animation, who walks behind Alice. Originally he was based on Death, but I had a major brain flash as my b/fs and decided to combine him with the mad hatter. The Mad Hatter concept for this project is based from Hash Isishim, an old character if mine who was clearly insane.

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 20:52:10 GMT

Oh kays. So my weekend was shiny, and I spent ages with my boyfriend, which is always good. Except then I came home, and now I miss him :(. I can't wait till we can get a place together :3. Which is a long way off yet, I beleive. Mebbe he can come stay at Uni sometimes. ~

So I watched... The Road to Terabithia and At World's End over the weekend. The former had me in floods and floods of tears. Its a good movie, but it seems to be trying to achieve the same thing as Pan's Labyrinth, and I don't feel that it does it as well. However, the Road to Terabithia is better for children, and like I said. Floods of tears. At World's End was magnificent. I think I enjoyed it more than the second one. I got bored watching the second. And BEST MARRIAGE EVER. I should totally do that. Anyone up for a pirate battle?

Aaaaand some more photos for yous! I took these when everyone suddenly appeared at our house last Wednesday :3.

Paige, predictably, spent most of the afternoon asleep. She loved having new people around to talk to though, and she did jump up on pretty much everyone in the room, when she was allowed onto the floor by my cousin, who spent most of the afternoon with her in his arms;

So ya. PHOTOSPAM OMIGOSH. Last one. This is my brand new babeh cousin, Bobby. He's tiny! And adorable o.o.

Thu, 31 May 2007 22:29:29 GMT

So this week has been officially declared craptastic by me. Seriously. Today for example... I woke up at 8:00am to find a (fit) young plumber man IN MAH ROOM. And the best bit? KAGE SHE SLEEP NEKKID! And then the nice plumber man TRIED TO MAKE THE SMALL TALK. Kage's dignity has run away for the summer. She may never see it again. And other stuff too. Like No SLeEpZoRZ. At all. And being ill. And eugh.

But I did get a phone call from my other half, and I think I'ma gonna go stay there for the weekend. True, I won't get an awful lot of college work done, but I will not be jumped on my strange plumber men whilst I am nekkid. o.o.

Ooooh, and I did promise; this is Paige, sulking in our sink. She was smelly, so she got the warm water and washing up liquid treatment. She won't talk to me now o.o. Not even *gasp* for food.

In fact, she still smells, so I'ma gonna have to do it again tommorow. O.o.

Kx

Thu, 31 May 2007 00:39:54 GMT

Eugh. Still no college work done. My house is a building site, my Grandma wanted me to move out for the weekend. I'm like... but I have to work. Final project due in next week. And everyone I could stay with is either away or working. Oh, and then the drama. I had to go out to get my photos developed for said project, and it took me a while. I waited all damn day to go to the store, and when we got there my Grandmother announced we have ten minutes to sort out my photos (I had to select them, print some out four times, etc etc) and buy food/medication. So its okay for me to wait hours on end to go out, but FORBID she's ten minutes late to take one of her friends somewhere. She was mad for the rest of the evening T_T.

Whoo ~ So I threatened thirteenth development work, and here it is. I think that almost everything is explained here for it to sort of make sense as a whole. Please offer me comments, criticism (God knows I need it), and point out mistakes, inaccuracies. And if anyone knows how to paste text behind a little link so this HYUGE thing doesn't appear on anyone's friend list everytime, PLEASE let me know, kthx.

Oh, and NO STEALIE. I don't get mad, but that would upset me soooooo much. This is the result of many many hard work on my part.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay so in the begining, there were three scientists. Admin A, Admin B and Admin C. These three Admins created the System; an intricate computer 'program'. It had some of the characteristics of a true AI; it 'thought' for itself, and it contained a multiverse that was ever expanding. Over time the System developed much as any 'real' multiverse would, and over a short space of time it became a fully functional multi-dimensional world of its own. The most common way to access the System is using full immersion equipment.

The project became so large that it required private funding to continue running at full capacity. It became a playground for the rich, split into 'Area' that were sold to individuals at a high price. There was nothing like it on the market at the time. The higher the price, the more complecated the area you're given, and the more support is offered to you. The Admin found themselves suddenly having to teach large staffs how to manipulate code within the System, which is a long hard process. To help them, and to save a little time, they decided to create templates, like copy/paste code segments that could be applied universally, and then developed by the individual Area Moderators at a later date. They also created Programs that could travel within the system and paste down these segments of code, carefully integrating them into the code that already existed. (Complecated enough yet? The logistics aren't all that important).

One of these sets of Programs was created for the sole purpose of defining the rules and limitations of magic. This is a particularly complecated process, and was also a popular demand of early developers. These Programs were let loose upon the system, and they worked in the background complimenting the Admin's efforts. They became known to the first Area Moderators as the Weavers, because they laid down the lay lines which are rumoured to resemble a large spider web. Lay lines run to every part of the system, across dimensions, but an Area Moderator can choose how much of his Area they are allowed to influence, and by how much.

Because of the nature of the System, and also the particular nature of Magic, the Weavers soon began to develop on their own. At first it was rudimentary personalities, quirks in the style of coding that marked them individuals. Slowly, as the first Moderators were replaced, and the Admin became busier and busier, they were forgotten, and left to their own devices.

The System develops, and becomes incredibly complex. The Admin become very very rich men and lady, and their services are being used for many and various tasks. At this point, Admin A starts to think... 'Hey, I put more money, more effort into this that B and C... And I don't need them anymore. I will make much more money on my own.' He begins to plot the 'downfall' of B and C, from both inside the system (using the Fallen) and outside, using various moderators loyal to himself. During the Atrocities that destoyed the SA and started the thirteenth story proper, he locks B and C out of the system completely, and claims it as his own. At the time when he locks their Ident Keys, C is logged into the system, and the trauma destroys her physical body. B is considerably pissed that he is locked out.

Now, Admin A is a control freak. He likes things to be just so, and he likes to know that he is in control of them. His one mistake in locking out the other two Admin is that not all of the programs within the system are completely under his control, but he cannot delete them without the consent of both B and C, one of whom is now dead. Commence damage control, and he sets about checking over the Programs, to see how this will effect him in the longterm. Here he finally takes note of the Weavers. They have become something of an advanced culture, coming and going between dimensions at will, the creators of large pockets of undirectioned Wild Magic and so forth. Enraged he realises that these Programs are editing his code, and in their image he creates a new Program to set about destroying them. He named his new creation a Reaver, in the same image that the Weavers had painstakingly created for themselved. Only three Reavers exist in the entire of the System, but they can communicate amongst each other across... well, the System. They travel along the lay lines, and they like to eat code. Specifically Weaver code, but powerful Wild Magic code too, and sometimes just magic related code.

Fast Forward a little to now, thirteenth. Angie, a very popular... ah... 'film' star, meets a particularly strange person entrenched in a bookshop (I'm so making this bit up. My boyfriend is totally going to correct this part). She offers to help this person, and eventually they become friends... Long story short this new wierd friend of hers is actually a sixth or seventh generation Weaver, who is especially good at coding for wizards, or people who learn magic from books. The two of them grow very close, but this unfortunately leads to the Weaver remaining in one Area for far too long. This Area is the property of an unnamed Moderator.

Eventually a Reaver comes down the layline, and lo and behold finds the Weaver. Angie, in a ridiculous attempt to defend her new friend, lays the Enforcer smackdown (Inherited from both parents, therefore veeeery powerful) on this Reaver, who promptly eats both her and her friend. However, her little explosion of magical energy call down both of the other two Reavers upon this humble little Area... and there is massacre.

The Area Moderator is mortified at the destruction of his creation, and calls upon the thirteenth to help him salvage some of it. He offers a them a status upgrade as payment, which is pretty much golddust. Kage decides that the oppurtunity is just too good to miss, and goes to investigate... and (among other things) she finds that the Reavers, predicably, have destroyed everything. The code here is unsalvageable. Not only are large parts of it missing, but whole segments of it are corrupted. Including its organisms. This corruption is highly contaigous, and it leaves behind, hey presto, mindless zombies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aaaarrrrrrg. You like mah Proto Zombie Plot? NO STEALIE! This thing has taken me like... four hours to type out. And I need to work on the end a little more, so keep an eye out for that one tommorow. Or sometime when I don't have college work to do.

I am so looking forward to running this! There's a bunch of character stuff missed out here, this is just the framework. It needs a little work. My boyfriend needs to look over the technical stuff for me, so I can make it more accurate. We play this over MSN just me and him, which can be a little boring, so if you would be interested in joing in OMFG IM ME! X3.

Whoa

Tue, 29 May 2007 18:40:30 GMT

So, it looks like I went and made a Live Journal. Why? I have no idea yet, but I've spent all day getting it just right, so I better use it or I'll get all annoyed with myself :3. So uh.... Be nice to me :). I dun know anybody here, and I have no idea of what I am doing! So if you see me do something stupid, then please let me know...

Anyway. You'll probably see me upload a bunch of artstuffs, and probably some of the fiction I gotta work on over the summer for my joint project with my boyfriend. Its a little crazy, so be a little careful if you are easily offended by certain topics, violence and swearing :3. Thar will be warnings and stuffs.

Not to mention crazy crazy photos of my lief. I take hundreds anyway, might as well put them up somewhere. Ones to look out for will be of Paige, our new puppeh and also Baby Bobby.

So, uh... yeah! Off to play PnP Pendragon now ~

~~~~~~~

So, it has occurred to me that I should maybe put something here about who I be first... My name is Em, Kage or Ami, depending on where you catch me, and I am an art student from Hertfordshire in England. I am hopefully going to De Montfort Uni in Leicester in October, if I ever get this final project finished, which seems a little unlikely at the moment :3. I have a boyfriend, and by the time I go to Uni we'll have been together for four years. How scary is that?

My interests stray mainly into the wierd and wonderful, although I can normally find something I like in (almost) everything. I find sport unbearable to watch, though. I am an enthusiastic, if somewhat rubbish, rolelplayer, of both the online and pen and paper varieties. (I even got roped into GMing for an online one for the thirteenth over the summer). My bestest books include.... anything from the Dresden Files, Kelley Armstrongs 'Women of the Otherland' books, Tad Williams 'Tailchaser's song' and occasionaly I stomach Warhammer for Dan Abnett's 'Ravenor' series. I'm watching Heroes at the moment, but I also have most of the X Files under my belt, almost every South Park episode created and Dr Who is also a favourite of mine. My current favourite movie is Children of Men, but there are so many god ones out at the moment that as soon as I actually get to the cinema I have a feeling that might change. I have a little tiny obsession with magic, and am failing at learning to read tarot. (I also have a teeny obsession with bishonen mages, but shhhhhhhhh.)

I suffer from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (don't go and look it up, the online stuff isn't all that useful I'm told.) which means that I have to use a wheelchair to travel any distance at all. This also means that I spend most of my waking hours on the internet, which is much more fun anyway. I have issues with my hips, knees and ankles that prevent correct muscle formation, which leads to me being well.. rather skewwiff in the leg department, and a little unsteady on my feet.

I have a hyuuuuuuuuge family, and live in somewhat of a menagerie. At the moment I have one black lab dog (Jasper); one eight week old black lab bitch (Paige); three guinea pigs (Dresden, fudge and Raisen) and one Leopard Gecko (Gizmo). I also have a Mum who pretty much disowned me, a not quite step Dad and one half sister on that side, one brother, one Dad and Stepmum and two half sisters on that side. If that's not confusing enough, I two aunts, two not quite uncles, one wedding up coming, four cousins and another on the way. >< Whew. I live with my maternal grandparents, and I visit my paternal grandparents relatively frequently. My paternal Grandmother has hip cancer.

Well. I have terribly many bad habits, including verbal typing diohorrea, as you can see. I also sometimes refer to myself in the third person as 'Kage', and then sometimes describe what Kage the character is doing, which is terribly confusing and I should try to keep to a minimum o.o. I like to play the same song over and over again, which drives my boyfriend up the wall. Ooh, and I'm a terrible procrastinator.

Aaaaand I think that's all you need to know for now!
