Sailor §trange

houseofstrange now has several member names struck through. This is because they were RP journals made on the spur of the moment that I never played with much.

Okay, so yeah, that could also describe some of my latest additions to the muse stable (like the Fallen, Primus, Harliquin and Khyilenna's journals), but they aren't as old as the recently purged ones.

Those purges date back to the height of my RP days, back in mid to late 2004, when I was deep in LotR and playing elves, Valar, and a handful of random crap. It's mostly the random crap that's been purged - silly stuff like Asterisks ( as in **), Fanon, Freecell (yes, the game), Tim Tams (the chocolate-covered biscuits). The RP comms I was in at the time proliferated several really cracky spin-offs.

I'm not deleting the names, even if I am letting the purge become permanent. Those names on the member list will remain as a reminder of what I once played around as.

So I decided to go into town to find some beads today. I also decided to see Avatar before it left the cimenas. Well I ended up doing a lot more than just that.

First off, I went to Garden City. Easy enough, it's on the bus route into the city anyway. I stopped there to buy some things for agiftedmind, and also it's the stop where I could get a bus out her way. After getting what I wanted, I went out to her place (include in there, a number of phone calls since I'd never caught the bus out to current place before) and she met me at the hospital near her place.

We walked back to the house, I tried and failed to get into my email (I don't actually keep the password on me. I should do something about that) and I got a little while off my feet. Then we wandered into Stone's Corner.

Actually, that walk wasn't so bad, really.

Anyway, we wandered around the shops for a while, had fun looking around Retravision, looking at the prices of fridges, until I took the time to check the time and found it was almost 3 pm. The movie plans? Session was at 4 pm.

So I had to head back to a bus stop to get in, in time.

I did find the bead shop, though it was blastedly expensive and had no catseyes. I decided instead (despite the price) to get some alternate feature beads and redo the beadwork. They're red and blue large crystal beads, and some small pink crystal beads. Starscream's colours and matching colour to the rest of the skirt. I think I'll tackle the beads a bit differently - I won't sew them onto their own band, but just sew them straight to the skirt after it's sewn.

Anyway, I had enough time to pick up some movie snacks courtesy of Coles, and find my way upstairs for my movie. Good movie too, glad I went and caught it before it left the cinemas.

The only real downer is that I am having to pull my Fallen muse out of the RP I'd been playing him in. Some players were unhappy about how I was playing him and my muse refuses to be blinkered into just one continuity when he insists he's multiversal.

Was just thinking of how Fighting Sky!Aerith would explain why she's alive again to Tifa and this Soylent Green reminicient line occured to me:

Lifestream is made of dead people.

I know! I know! I'm a total twit for joining an RPG based on a video game I've never actually played!

Can someone help me on a piece of basic info? Which sector is Aeris' church in? 6 or 7? I keep thinking it's in 6, and that Seventh Heaven is in 7.

Edit: Went and Googled it, got two references to Sector 5 and one to Sector 6. I'll go with 5 for now.

Well I opened my own Photobucket account, though for general pictures I'll probably still be sharing the Bint's account because (A) It's daft uploading it to both hers and mine, and (B) Mine's being used as host for namomandos's moodtheme.

Said mood theme is something I randomly picked up somewhere and I'd love to put it on this account but this one isn't paid while the Vala's is. (Hell, I made the recent payment on Námo's account, I like being able to oggle his icons!)

Besides, there's something rather amusing about seeing Curufin with a mood icon showing Kuja, or Jareth (from The Labyrinth) with one of Zell. Setting the journal to force the moodtheme on the Friends Page is fun.

So... we (meaning mainly Baka and Varda, but with me in the background) were sitting in #desperatefansooc when the subject of a TV version of DF came up and I did have to pipe up and comment about making a game version too.

Well lookit what I got now? desperategamers.

It only has about 3 characters and 3 mods on the membership list so far, though one of those is novastrike who I thought of first and foremost for Sephiroth.

Note to self: Námo is not allowed anywhere near DG, we don't need a fight with Seph because our resident Mandos has the same face as him.

I think advertising on some of the promo comms may be a good idea, I'll have to prod Namesake-mun and Q on it.

I suspect I'm in for the big one here, I'll have to wait and see if DG gets off the ground though.

Oh, and I think my mouse's scroll wheel is broken.

I am very inclined to join desperatefans - not as myself, since I am hardly a literary character, but with a pup of my own.

The Valar don't want me though, not so much that the pup I want to enter with is one of their "family" but because of my plans for his icons.
