WARNING: this post contains a rant. And not a good one mind you, a whiny, self-centered rant. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'm terribly, terribly sorry, but I'm going to put it out here anyways. I promise, the next post will be saturated with (possibly)colorful doodles, drawings and jottings to make up for this.
As the title of this post would imply I am frustrated. I finally have my computer back and running and though thats always good news, there's a bunch of screwy stuff going on. first off is my tablet. Dear, dear tablet. The pen thinks it's the mouse, and the mouse thinks it's the pen, which of course is causing endless confusion. For those of you who don't have a tablet, I'll explain why thats bad. The mouse operates on speed, and the pen operate on actual position on the tablet. Annoying, annoying, annoying.
The colors at also weirding me out as they are about 5 times brighter than I remember them being, and all the pictures are weird and grainy. I can't see if I've actually highlighted anything.
Enough with proving the 14 year old girl stereotype. Back to surfen the web.

Gleasts
Gleasts
Yes. That's right. Gleasts. I just had to type that in to comment on someones blog, and it made me laugh. It's a wonderful word. It's a wonderful...phrase. Gleasts. Ain't no passing (ain't no passing) craze! It means no worri- whoops. Wrong word. But anyways. Feast you're eyes and your mental ears (as well as your suppository nose) on the wonderful word that is GLEASTS.
...
...
it makes me think of bread. It also sounds kind of like a word that would have some sort of perverted connotation.
...
...wait..
...Ye Gods, it'd better not be

CJ-Sama's meme
Here's a cool little meme that I snagged from CJ. It was quite fun, actually, so enjoy!
1. What's your muse?
I’ll let him to the talking here.
1. What's your muse?
I’ll let him to the talking here.
I’m not a muse, I’m a motivation, which is exactly what Mi—Lokii? What? Well, if you insist… *rolls eyes* which is exactly what Lokii needs. She’s got all the creativity in the world, she just won’t do anything with it. To be honest the last thing she needs is a muse. First of all, muse’s, motivation’s like myself, whatever you prefer, we’ve all sprung from our artist or writer (in my case she’s both, lucky me, two things I need to nag her about)’s subconscious. Having a muse would, well, muse’s are for getting the creative juices flowing and for idea’s and the like. She’s got all that. For heaven’s sake, this child has super ADHD! She has no end of ideas, though quite a few of them are crap, but she’s so easily distracted. The bottom line here is my job is hard enough without some muse she dosen’t need flitting in and out and not letting her write when it’s gone. –huff-
Me: Well Okay then!
.: Writer bit :.
2. Have you based characters on people you know/met?
Nope. I don’t see the point of creating character’s if I’m just going to stuff traits down their throats instead of letting them develop on their own
3. Have you finished any of your works?
Three off the top of my head, though quite possibly lots more. It all depends on what you consider ‘works’. Janus Bond, a spy spoof, Anim, a semi-short mystery story who’s setting an characters were used again in my NaNo novel, and White Diamond, a gawd awful first novel that I wrote from 3rd to 4th grade that we shall not speak of.
4. How many works have you written?
toooooooooooooooo even begin counting. Even I don’t know.
5. What is the longest story (pages, years devoted to it, and chapters) you've written?
Longest lengthwise (again, not sure here) was The Labyrinth and What Follows, 60K+ words, two months, 84 pages, about 19 chapters, and one 6000 word footnote.
6. What type of stories do you write?
Anywhere from fiction to fantasy. The fiction I write is just fantasy enough to not be considered realistic fiction (thank goodness, I doubt I could bear writing about real life) but I don’t write deep fantasy like “Dragon Lance” either.
And (if I may quote my ‘favorite books section’) I like to write books where the characters have adventures, instead of Allison learning to get over being dumped by her boyfriend while at the same time dealing with her dad’s suicide.
.: Musician bit :.
7. What instruments do you play?
*snort*(I am snorting with laughter, because I am filling out the ‘musician bit’ and I am not a musician in the slightest)
My nose, dearie, my nose
8. Is there anything you want to play?
Hrm…lessee… the Theremin
9. Do you write your own songs? What are they mostly about?
Again, I say unto thee: *snort*
The only time I wrote songs was when the characters who I was working with had a band, and so I decided to try my hand at writing some songs. They were mostly crap, though a couple of them…I’m quite embarrassed to say this, but one of them in particular, I like. Mainly the tune though.
10. Do you have a band?
Again, the only one I can name would be Phantom, the band my characters above started. I mean, it sort of counts. I was the one doing all the real work there
.: Artist bit :.
11. What type of art do you make?
Any kind I want
12. Has your art been in an art show?
Yep, it’s been in the Art Fair a couple times, it’s been on show at school, and at our Art Center several times
13. Have you drawn anything for a friend?
‘Course. What fun is drawing when you can’t draw odd, confusing images on the birthday cards of friends? (the answer is still a lot. I now call them (or at lease Danny) and sing obnoxious birthday songs. This year I accidentally called a day early and had to stop after about 5 seconds later. Luckily for me, it was Danny’s coach’s birthday, and Danny had his number, so I called his coach and sang an obnoxious song. I think I may have been on speaker phone too. Hmm)
14. On a scale of 1 to 10, what would you rate your art?
Pfft, not a clue dearie, not a clue. It’s all relative, the quality differs from piece to piece, and add that to the fact that I drew it and therefore can only see it’s flaws…heck if I know!

MallowDramatic...yummy
Okay, I went back and edited the meme. I'm happier with it now, in fact, considering question #37, I'm much happier with it. So much so, that I'm asking that you go down and read it, just for my enjoyment. Please?

And a Happy New Year!
Here’s hoping your 2010 (it feels so weird to have that ‘1’ there) is safe, happy, and healthy. Mine too of course :D
Has anyone else made a new year’s resolution? I made one last year, but…it didn’t work out. Aside from the fact that I’m never able to keep them anyway, this one kind of crashed and burned. Badly. We’re talking 2nd degree burns people. I really shouldn’t, but I can’t resist. I’ve resolved to (as of now) be more motivated in this 2010 especially about writing.
That’s it…niccccccee and vague. –evil grin- Perfect.
And now, because, well, because I want to, and technically speaking this is actually writing. It’s still kinda procrastination, but in a way it can be called ‘character development’…wait a minute.
…
I’M MAKIN’ A MEME! WOO!
Oh, and I should probably tell you what it is too.
So now, (drum-roll please) here’s the resolutions my some of my characters would make. :D Let’s see who can keep theirs ;):
Faintly Macabre:
Rachel Garza: I resolve to…I dunno, be more decisive. Yes. No. Wait. No, I kid, I kid. Uh, lessee, I resolve to be less impulsive. Think about the consequences of things before I do stupid stuff. Then I’ll do the stupid stuff :D
Lenora Garza: You know Rachel, just because you parents are ghosts doesn’t mean we want you to be too -shakes head- I guess it’s a start. I resolve to get things done around the house more. Be more motivated in the things I do. I’m going to stop wasting time, and that way I’ll have more time for myself :)
Russ Garza: Oh wow, you actually had one before, didn’t you… hrm, I guess I resolve to stop scaring the, uh, sherbet out of drunks whenever I see them go by. Just when they annoy me.
Lenora: -rolling eyes- honestly, you two…
Warren Holloway: I, uh, I guess I resolve to be more…sociable..? Oh, and get better with working with things with triple synchronized pistons*. Or get better. Actually, you know, I think I’ll just do that.
Becah Nightshade: Do I really have to do this? Ugh, I guess maybe I should resolve to be more…tactful? Aw, **** it. It’ll never work…
Marla Sorenson: I’ll smile. Or laugh. Or, oh, I don’t know, do something cheerful. How about a joke?
Becah: For some reason I know I’m going to regret this but sure. Shoot.
Marla: Alright, alright, um, lets see, what goes ‘scratch, scratch, pop’?
Becah: You got me, what?
Marla: A kitten in a pottery kiln! :D
Becah: … D8
Everyone else: …D8 …
Demon Lord Foreii: -falls over laughing-
Marla: oh screw this…
The Grim Reaper: I resolve to try to improve my memory so I can make sure none of my loved ones are swindled into any more fiendish plots because I forgot to do something. Mind you, it’ll be a bit hard considering I CAN’T EVEN FREAKING REMEMBER HOW OLD I AM AND THEY WON’T LET ME DIE BECAUSE I’M APPARENTLY ‘DEATH ITSELF’ AND…( goes off on a rant )
Marla: Great. Well now you got him started. You’ve got to remember, he’s basically an old man (albeit one with a lot of upper arm strength) who’s been denied grand children for a bit too long and who can’t physically die. It’s a bit frustrating, as you can imagine. I’ll bet it’s bad for him too.**
Foreii, Demon of the Final Sentence: I guess I should resolve to be less dramatic. At least when I’m doing important things. And maybe I should check out Peter’s Evil Overlord list too…
Plot: I pwomis to exist! ***
One of the General Concepts: -sheepishly-Yeah, I promise I’ll try to be less like Bleach. It’s not intentional, I swear!
Oh, and because it’s a meme I have to add instructions:
Take the cast of characters from one WIP (work in progress) that you have. List them and what their new year’s resolutions would be/are:
see above
Okay, now this is the place where most memes say ‘tag some people’, but I’ve always hated that part, so instead, I want you to make up some reason why you can’t be bothered to tag people. Make it good too. If you want to do it, then please, go ahead.
*I am not mechanically minded whatsoever. I have no idea what triple synchronized pistons are, or even if they exist or are hard to work with. Pleasedonteatme.
** The Grim Reaper is Marla’s boss.
*** Yes, my plot has a speech impediment. Do you have a problem with that? No, really, do you? We’re taking a poll.

Abney Park (A Public Service Announcement)
I have just been introduced to the band Abney Park. I am amazed, and slightly appalled, that it has taken 14 years for me to be told about them. If you have never heard of them, you need to go listen to them right now. My gosh, they're awesome. Okay, I need to go back to outlining now. But OH EEM GEE, they have violins!(!!) I'm never able to find violin music. THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.
