Computer Problems
Yes, I'm having a rant about this. I mean, I've been borrowing someone else's computer for a few months, and last week, I finally got my internet back (YAY!).
So I play onthe internet till the wee hours of the morning, and shut down my computer. Wake up nice and happy the next day, and behold, the internet stuffs up again >_< At this time, I was about ready to throw my computer away.
So the guy came in again, fixed it up, and now I have a working computer after months of not having one.

I also got a laptop for use when I'm at my Dad's house (fyi: parents split up last year). Which means, I can now talk more! YAYYYY!

zOMG Beta Testing
Let's start at the beginning. So, I log onto gaia, feeling semi-happy, as you do, and I notice that I have a few new pms (like always ;D I'm loved!), so I start my routine, check announcements, than go onto the inbox. First thing I see is a pm saying 'Hey, your a beta tester!'. In my head I'm going like 'Whoop! *bouncing off walls*' but in the reality of life, I'm just sitting there making sure its not a joke. So I'm pumped, I wanted to play NOA! But, no, there are strict times for tests, and I actualy bothered to read everything, the announcment in the guild, the FAQ, all stickies and what not.
Then, I figure the time difference, so can know when to be on. So, 12pm gaia headquater time, what does that translate to my time? 3...in the morning D:
Let me tell you this, on that day, I got up, at 3 am, just to sit there for 4 hours, getting the dreaded, oh so evil 104, connection time out, and so on. at about 6.30, I'm like X-x so I have a half an hour nap.
And then, I go back to getting on the sever. That test, I got about 30mins-60mins on the sever. All I can say is THANK GOD IT WAS SATURDAY!
So the next test wake up time wasn't nearly as bad, 5am. and I think we got to keep the severs up all weekend, WOOT!
Overall, the furthest I got as a zETA was the zen gardens DX Mr. Ninja man id not like me, and I had to kill boss monsters like 20 times, and he was like 'you haven't killed ____' 3<
One thing I think I shall always take with me from zETA is 'The Bell of Hell'. Basically, for some time, there was this square in Zen Garden, where it seemed ALL the Taiko Drums gathered to try and bash the hell out of us poor gaian's. But, they all got stuck, in time and space, and couldn't move, couldn't attack, and worsest of all, couldn't be killed. But, if you think us gaian's could just walk through that square and be on our merry way, then you are dead wrong. All gaian's who entered this 'Bell of Hell' area got stuck with monsters that couldn't die, and couldn't kill us, with their endless drumming. It was a very entertaining thing to be in, cos I think the reason heaps of gaian's went here was because 'I wonder if I'll get stuck?'. You did.

Edits
I would just like to say WOO for me, because I am starting to use photoshop again, except, I'm not doing animations as much. No, I'm making banners, manga edits and so on! I'm getting better! Which means, my dream of making a all round art shop is a few steps closer to completion!
But why yabber on about it when I can SHOW you my edits!

Right, so this piece... What can I say? I was bored and felt like doodling. Someone in the thread asked for me to draw them (I was on another persons computer, may I add). So I think 'Why not!' Went off to find the graphic tablet and borrow it for a while. And I drew. When I finished, i was like 'omg, this is hideous! D: What can I do to make it better?' So I made it into an animation.
All done on photoshop, and my hand drawn things on paper look wayyy better.

Yeah, lots of this one. I'm still editing this one. I didn't know whatto make it say, so in the end I decided to leave it blank sweatdrop

X3 I was hyper, and I was reading the manga/mini manga, and then I went to a mash up tread, after about 30 pages, I was like 'OMG! I cold make on of these!'
>< I searched to get that 'wtf' expression on Liam.


:3 Okay, I made a halloween mash up comic. but COME ON! Monster mash=best halloween song EVER!!! X3 And I just had to do it. Once it gets stuck in your head, it stays there till you do this! :3
I'll finish the song later!

Uhh! I got an elegant veil! WOOT!!!
And my next long term quest is lunar cloak! D:
And have just decided to buy elf ears for my normal skin tone when this event is over!

I'm dressing up as a sorceress this halloween, it's going to be fun! *weee*
I've joined the most awesome clan, but it's name will be changing soon. I joined, and quit the elitist zOMG guild. And I should start getting ready to go soon. X.x wow, longest journal entry from me ever! I feel kinda proud in a weird way.
