If anyone's interested in helping out, wants a commission, knows someone who wants a commission, whatever (which I either get done or if the worst happens, I refund. I make a point of never spending the money until the picture's finished and commissioner has recieved it just in case), let me know.

*blows off dust.* *Sneezes*

Due to trying to get over the fact I'm still a depressed git and not good at talking for months on end, I'm attempting to post again. Also, LJ is mostly dead. Not that I ever post there any more regularly than here really.

I might be swamping my journal with art later. Just a heads up. It'll be under cuts so hopefully it won't seem like horrendous spamming.

In the meantime, I'm off to find my rubber (eraser for you not British types that use that as slang for something totally different) and see if I can build an easel and a lightbox.

crossposting to LJ in case anyone there wants to find me here instead. I'll keep crossposting(apart from re posting art of course) but I'll be doing it from here as LJ is slow for me. When I've got time to make tea while a page is loading, there's a problem. I'll still be reading there too, it just takes patience.

(I always did prefer my tags over here)

I might have a couple of codes spare if anyone wants one. I'll check.

It makes me homesick though D:

i would so kick you in the privates...but i can't cuz you no longer have them

I got left this lovely comment on my dA 4 days ago.

I've got an ongoing arguement with some (I've now discovered) retarded 13 year old who just doesn't know whan to quit.

Anyway, I lol'd. It was so insulting, it went straight through and into 'lolwtf' territoy.

BRB, comment answering later. I've got to run around as Basch some more.

First of all, am I allowed to grin stupidly that my Cloud/Barret pic has got more faves in such a short space of time than anything ese I've ever done?

I thought only me and about three other people liked them as a pairing anyway. Weird.

Playing FFXII again, for the hell of it. Well, I'm fliting between that, Dirge of Cerberus (not because it's a good game, but it makes me laugh for all the wrong reasons - I kinda like it), FFVII, answering The Boy's incesant questions while he's playing FFVIII and having the urge to pick up Legacy of Kain again...any one of them will do.

The original Blood Omen might be a good start. If I'm going to play it again, might as well take it from the beginning.

Damn, sudden idea. I was considering picking up a PS3 at some point, I've got the 360 but you can never have too many consoles IMO. Then I just remembered, The Boy keeps going on at me that I've not got MGS2. I'm pretty sure I did, I just can't find the damn game. But as he's addicted to MGS3 when he's not playing Oblivion, it means I can get him MGS4. Hell yes.

One day he may forgive me that I played MGS when he was too young to remember.

Oh, and the new Transformers game looks rather shiny. And Bayonetta looks like it could be fun - hell it's from the creator of the original DMC and it looks like DMC with a girl instead. Corny dialogue, guns, swords, hitting things over the head and then shooting them. What's not to like?

( List of DOOM, DOOM I TELL YOU...well fandom-y shite I want to get finished anyway. )

Anyway, in keeping with the whole wanting-to-keep-all-my-stuff-together-so-my-family-can-have-thier-eyes-throughly-burnt by all my fandom crap should I die, I might be making some old crap posts of fanfic and such like. I'll try to remember to backdate it so I don't make my small flists on LJ and DW wonder why they're suddenly exposed to so much WTF in one go. Because some of it is pretty WTF.

I like crack.

Americans.

Please stop describing 'Britain' 'British-ness' and anything to do with Europe.

You really are a bunch of clueless wankers.

Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest. *Goes to hang out in 'non-American dominated' places to temporarily escape the raeg inducing-ness of Americans talking about Britain and Europe like they have a fucking clue*

*Needs to stop reading ONTD_Political or anywhere average Americans mention anything to do with the European continent*

Other countries/histories are interesting but I don't claim to understand how different cultures work and think and I know they are different from me.

Not that I'm pineing for the days of the Empire XD

I love people telling me they've written papers and they teach. Oh, throw your academia at me some more.

Really, just stop it. If you feel the need to prove to me how clever you are, I'm just going to think you're trying to make up for some kind of inadequecy.

I could go around in internet arguments and discussions flaunting my I.Q level (which is very far from low. In England we don't divide it up into categories so much, but on the American scale it's in the genius bracket...Oh how I lol'd because srsly? It's not a word I'd want to associate myself with, it's for people with no fashion sense who obsessively do and wear the same thing everyday for lack of a social life).

I could wave about my 'learnings' but you know what? I'm not that fecking pretentious and it's really of no damn import. I love the fact that just because you spazz on the internet it's deemed you must be an idiot.

It's taken me a long time to learn. Being brought up by a father who's a member of mensa and having it drummed into me that I should flash my I.Q like some damn trophy and it'd be my I.Q given right to act like an arrogant prick. Fuck that. I'm too busy being human and having a laugh.

Knowing a lot and being smart has its uses. But it's far from everything and flashing your 'learnings' around on the internet just makes you look like a dick.

However, in my next journal, I will be tearing Paul Tice a new one for having no understanding of England, Scotland or how the 'Divine Right of Kings' actually works. I cannot believe that foreward got published.

Then again it is America. And all I've got to say to America is, get the fuck out of my history until you can learn that English people are not American. We are not Americans outside of America, nor are we stereotypes that drink tea, eat crumpets and wear monocles - that's just me, minus the monocle. Our language is different, our nation pysche is different, we have totally different cultures.

Until you learn to understand that, get off of our history. You do not understand it.

Next journal entry is a 'critique' of Paul Tice's poor excuse of a foreward to 'Demonology' by King James I, and a basic history lesson of England and Scotland around that time (with guest appearances from France and Spain).

Excuse me while I go and raid the huge pile of history text books written by English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish people on my buckling bookshelves.

Fucking internet academics. Pretentious wankers more like /rant
