Thank you, everyone!

Oh my gosh Tocky, it took me a couple of seconds to figure out what you meant. Haha!

Pash - I know what you mean. I overslept until 12pm today, then ten minutes after waking up I decided to take a cat nap... I woke up just now. At 3pm. Omg. :retard:

It was a compliment!

A bad storm just passed, and our internet connection is always blotchy when it's raining. And since the electricity kept disappearing every few minutes, I entertained myself with something different... yeah, I started painting this mask with random figures and ended up with that.

Because of a couple of things and the storm itself, I somehow took an impromptu break from Miz over the last week. I got a few things done, but I wasn't around as much. It felt kind of nice. I adore Miz, but sometimes you just need to take a break to avoid burning yourself out.

Anyway, I've decided to retire my first PC on Miz, my Svefra. Those who are threading with her already know this, though I've been in denial and I haven't actually done it. I kept hoping that my muse for her would come back, but it seems like a lost case. It's a tough decision, but sometimes you just need to know when to let go, you know? I love the Svefra race though, and I'm sure I'll make another pirate PC in the future... probably a dude this time, just to see if I can pull it off.

Lovely mask. I like the color scheme. The thing about retiring a character is that it doesn't have to be permanent. To me its like sticking them on a shelf for a while and letting them gather dust. You can always drag them back down later and work on them some more.

Was with some friends the other day, and we were watching Batman movies, and they wouldn't shut up about how King Joffrey was in it.

Then I saw this and I laughed way too much.

Silver linings...

This isn’t a river. This is the highway that we pass on our way to school. Not my pic, someone else posted it on FB. It’s been raining non-stop and really badly the whole day now… a lot of people are stranded and can’t go home, including my brother, and my boyfriend.

Shameful to say, this is “normal”. This happens EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. You can just imagine my disdain… I feel bad for the homeless people, and I feel worse for the people who die in these floods. A few years back, there was a terrible storm to the point that houses were buried under the floods, and numerous families drowned. The city I grew up in was one of the cities so badly hit, and it was terrible to hear many familiar names in the list of victims. Until this day I still have a difficult time going back to that city, even if it’s to visit relatives.

Is this post depressing? I think it is. Sorry about that, but I just had to put it out there.

You know what I love though? I love how people can be so joyful amidst something so terrible. There’s a place around here where the street kids use the flood to compete in swimming competitions. They also show of their diving skills by climbing up lamp posts and diving into the water… lol.

It’s not just people. My dog refused to stay inside the house, and when I let him out, he waded through that one corner in our garden which floods. He hates taking a bath, but suuure, this is alright with him. It made him stinky and dirty, but at least he had fun.

My point is… yay optimism. Always look for the silver lining, no matter how twisted things are.

Also… our country is beautiful. Don’t let this post detract from that fact. Heehee.

Scratch that last post (deleted it coz it seemed like spamming). Relatives have evacuated, though the river is still overflowing. I panicked for like a minute and now I'm wide awake and can't sleep again @#*@^#*&^@#.

So I'll just make a scrap in relation to this horrid calamity.

I know this is all I ever talk about lately, but living in a water world isn't really all that nice... It would be really cool if any of you guys could spare some donations for our country. Please, please! This is a nice site, if ever you're interested.

Again, thanks!

Lots of love and compassion coming your way Sandie, I know it's been crazy out there. I'll be sure to donate some spare pennies
