So things have been cool.
Lets see, I got engaged dec 13th, planning our pirate vs ninjas wedding for august 13th of 2011. My mom is taking me shopping on sunday for the dress or bits of it at the ren faire. I have a new job, and a story of losing my previous hotel job. My new job is awesome and i get the great pleasure of playing with dogs most of it. Lets see my friend Raffy is now living with us. I get to go to cuups regularly, and have led a circle recently. I haven't painted much, a new elemental series but already given away in pieces, and am I getting worse at contact juggling.
But i couldn't be happier.
I have been barely drinking pop, and was smoking less there for a bit. Still trying to. Alex has lost weight, working on the same for me! Count got fleas, and the ferrets fell in love with raf.
Well adios amigos and amigas.
Much love! Keep it positive =)

So its official, I'm a Bitch. o.o I guess.
If you dare read this, I am basically a bitch. I'm not sure how this has happened. But alex says it's just because that's the way i have become more around him. This must be true as I still don't exactly see why i am such a bitch the conversation below. But well i must admit i was angry, therefore in defense i'm a bitch. Don't piss me off, and i won't be a bitch. Simple isn't it! Yep so if you want to read this, your lesson learned will be Z is a bitch and if your shit sucks then im gonna complain. Maybe not to you, but I'm not gonna hide away my attitude and act like oh so happy either. Meh. So honestly i'm glad this is what i finally bitched about other than religious intolerance. Because trust me i have a full paper i'm going to write about it. Well it is more of a letter to someone. o.O I will never stand religious intolerance or ignorance from anyone. And just so happens that a lady i work with is scared of a 3 inch by 6 inch picture of a woman praying to shiva. Totally another story to share some other time.
Anyways, Enjoy the conversation below. Unfortunately i cannot link to the site as you must be logged in to view the forums. =) I may keep this updated if anyone else replies to it. But i think the conversation is pretty much i'm a bitch and therefore cannot be right (supposedly). I don't need other people to know i'm right i suppose. But ya know just some understanding would have been nice. Usually when any person complains about anything someone will listen and understand. Unfortunately people like the ones posted in strong opposition to me, yea they never seem to actually behave like that in person. If you bitch to someone or to a group of people like everyone does on tv, generally you don't act like a young teenager and become an idiot. Well maybe on that fox news channel.
Much love to everyone, Even the idiots.
Yes they do have something inside them, i just have no idea what it could be.
~Z
~p.s I've gotten pretty good at contact juggling. Well. Just okay but i'm still practicing pretty much daily. Maybe i miss a day now and then but yea.

Hmm, I'm unsure how to rate a swap i've recieved. It was late so i have no reason not to rate a 3. And that is most likely what i will rate it. But here is my rant. The sent items are i guess worked on. As everyone has thier own style for things i cannot turn my nose up at them. But the collaged atcs have bits barely hanging on.
Also i was sent a tag that was owed to me for back since may. I'm not sure if i should show a picture or not. But I had requested something with a star. Well, the atc i received is a black background, a partial star and cut out words. I could see how in saying that - it could be something nice to receive for something ive waited this long for. I mean atleast i got something, even though there is no effort in it.
I spend a lot of time and money on my swaps i send out. I do aim to get hearts, I throughly enjoy spoiling people! I guess i feel like if i'm going to send late, then i should reward the patience of the receiver. I shouldn't make them happy just to have received the swap. I want them to be so happy that they waited.
Anyways, I know i spoil my partners and generally don't get less than half of spoiling back. Which is fine, alteast someone's day had been brightened.
How do i get partners who actually care about what they send?? I'm sure a few of my partners wish they had someone else - who could make awesome inchies or kick a atcs. But i try and make up for my style in art with other things. I know a few swaps ive gotten have just been way tooo cool.
What's your trick to having a quality partner? Or do people really perfer to do the minimum in a quick fashion?
Bleh don't take this seriously, i just needed to rant about the tag and atcs. I just wish people would put more effort into swaping. @.@ My bf hasn't been supportive much of swapbot, mainly because i get wrapped up in working on them. But even he has noticed that somethings are just lazy.
If ratings did not count, and we could judge in a less harmfull fashion besides 5's, 3's and 1's. I would rate my swap i recieved on the abcdf scale a d or an f. I honestly wish i could rate all swaps that way. Its nothing to do with hearts. It's like a little way of saying that A+ this is a great atc, well done! It doesn't count the extras or anything. I guess i would want f's to count though. Like any thing else if a person is consitently sending out something f material then why should others with b averages have to deal with it? It would be like a host getting to ensure that all participants are worth someone elses time. (NOT that in all honesty everyone is worth more than time.)
=.=' Thanks for reading, I'm sure i got some point out. Again Don't take this serious, just grr. =)

On other ATC trading sites where everyone sends to one central person who then redistributes the cards and sends them out, sometimes trades are "like-for-like" where you get cards of a quality roughly equivalent (in the eyes of the host) to that you sent. Of course these trades are more expensive since they get sent twice instead of just once, but you might want to look into it. Or perhaps you might want to join the hand drawn/painted ATC group, or do private swaps with people who make good cards.
I was thinking of doing an ATC swap where you have to spend a minimum amount of time on your card. Not sure how best to run it though.

snowqueen1426 2 days ago
You might consider looking at other swappers flickr, or photobucket pages and ask to do a private swap. I do understand,, I've received some things and really wondered.. but...........
In my auctions I have stated.. you are rating your partner on the guidelines for the auction. not on how well you like what you received.. The quality of work you receive is going to vary and we are not grading the work. Some people are doing their very best work... and yes I know sometimes you find work.. that will not be up to your standards.. If you are dead set on not trading with certain people check the list of names before the partners are assigned and drop out if you do not like what you see. Was what your received.. Did it meet the "swap requirements"? From FQA There are only three different rating criteria: I got my stuff and it met posted swap requirements (5 points); I got my stuff, but it didn't meet the posted swap requirements (3 points); I never got anything (1 point). Keep in mind that you are NOT rating your partners on whether or not you liked what you received, only on if it met the requirements of the swap. The fun thing about swaps is that you never know what you are going to get, and that means that sometimes you may not be thrilled with what you receive. Also, remember that everyone (including the person you are rating) can see who you are and what ratings and comments you gave. It is important to rate participants honestly, but it is also good to be kind even if you have to give someone the lowest rating.

I enjoy seeing the different skill levels of ATC's I receive. My skill level would be in the lower categories! Some I am just amazed at and love their methods, others I find boring and so/so in craftmanship. In all the ATCs I've received I have not liked at all only two of them. Those I didn't keep. They met the swap requirements, I gave a 5, and just went on with life.
MissJay 1 day ago
The fun of these swaps is that you never know what you will get. Sometimes you will be underwhelmed and sometimes your sox will be knocked off. I suppose you could start your own group of known swappers who meet / exceed your standards and new applicants must submit a sample. If you do this, AngelicDagger, please give me your addy as I wish to apply.

Tinker60 1 day ago
Of course at some point you're going to get something you don't like, don't want, is of poor quality, etc., but the reason I enjoy the ATC swaps is because I enjoy making them and sending them. I certainly realize that my work is not going to be liked or appreciated by all who receive it, just as there are some ATCs that I've received that I didn't like or thought were not so good. I also enjoy getting things by newbies because we all started there at some point in our life. I certainly understand getting a bit frustrated when you've put a lot of work into a project only to receive something that you feel was not up to your standards, but that's the way swapping is. . . it balances out by the absolutely fantastic ones you receive and wish you could do the same. I certainly hope that you were nice enough to let th person know that perhaps they need to use other glue when doing their work because it can be tricky and unless you tll a person they won't know.

I run an ATC group and I DO let everyone in that is not partially suspended. This does not mean that they are able to participate in any swaps (that is up to the host of that swap). But they are able to be in an environment where they can discuss different methods and check out other people's work. Why should I deny them because of the quality of their work? How would they ever get better?
There are I think at LEAST 3 'quality ATC groups' out there and quite a few more ATC groups total.
KatarinaNavane 1 day ago
The "established ATC swappers" group theoretically does a quality check, but the officers are so inactive if you apply (and it's a closed group) it could take months and months for them to let you in and even if you get in, there hasn't been a swap in that group for as long as I've been in it.
The other thing you could do is try doing swaps on somewhere like deviantart or even atcsforall where you can look at someone's gallery before swapping with them and even pick out what card you want (with the stipulation that they're doing the same)
zigg13pra 1 day ago

@zigg13pra - but don't the officers have access to the "founder" and therefore notify them of a request?
zigg13pra 1 day ago
The officers cannot see who has clicked the 'join this group' button. Only the founders can. IF the officers are contacted by the swapper wanting to join, then in turn contact the founder.. yeah that would work, but so would contacting the founder themselves without involving an officer.
AngelicDagger 1 day ago
@celticdragonfly - I did not mention your name. But since you have decide to say something. I understand your frustration about my comment. It did not bother me when i knew you would be sending late, and i've said that. You've kept me updated on that. The atcs look thrown together. I understand if this is you method for atcs. But I never expected to get something that after soon long would be like that. I did not expect to receive a tag with maybe a 1 minute effort spent on it. And i apologize for saying that, i am not trying to be hurtful with it. I came here to rant about it. Not to bring hurtful words to your attention.
@snowqueen1426 - I do look at people's profiles and photos. Indeed that is why i set out to try a few personal swaps. With the swapper mentioned, I dropped from the astrology atc swap and she noticed. Kindly she asked if i would like to do it privately with her. Of course i really wanted to! Now as you go on about the rating system, yes i know all this. Which is why i talked about it being a rant and not taken seriously so thanks. The only reason i said i did not know how to rate is because i could very nicely still give her a 5 and heart for sending the set and tag out of the niceness of her heart and for keeping me updated about the latenesss even if i had to email her a few times just to ensure it was still coming. But it deserves a 3 for lateness even if kept in the loop. It has been since july that the swap ended.
It was simply i wish i could rate for my personal opinion of the swaps i receive to a letter grade scale to without it being harmful to the swapper in a rating way that all would judge. Because that would be unfair which is the reason i did not post picture of the atcs sent to me. Anything is better than nothing and art styles are random and many. Just because i don't appreciate the style i was sent doesn't mean i don't know how to rate.
As for the talk of atc groups, yes i am in one. But no i don't feel the need to join swaps i don't feel inclined to. Atc groups really have nothing to do with my rant, I was more than happy with joining in the astrology atc swap with celtic. It was my choice! I have no reason not to join in swaps with her either. She is a nice person. Even if she doesn't see me in the same light now. I happen to believe i posted this in a place i could complain about the swap i received. I also happen to believe that i did NOT try and bring celtic down by including her name, nor photos of the swapped cards.
Just because i did not like the cards does NOT mean i need lectured by any of the people above. Even if it was just said as advice. If a person sends something as someone mentioned how will they ever get better? A teacher gives criticism. Although i am not a teacher, if someone else doesn't say it, then who will? I wasn't saying it to her, i was upset and wanted someone to be understanding as a few had been. Sorry if my criticism was undue to anyone elses point of view but my opinion is my own and i needed to share out of frustration.
Thanks.

I think that if you want to "improve" a swapper's ATC ability, you could always just send them a PM. I doubt they'd appreciate it, but you could do it.
As for your rant: The "you don't meet my standards" ATC rant is a touchy one on swap-bot. Mainly because of all the reasons listed above as well as the fact that so many people have made similar complaints before. You could always look for past ATC rants and find the people that think the same way and swap with them. Don't know what to tell you if they also send you sub-par ATCs. Wait, actually I do: Buy them on Etsy or look at Flickr photos for ones you'd like to trade for.
Just an FYI: It is kind of mean to say that someone did the "minimum in a quick fashion" when that's really just your personal opinion, not a fact. A rant in the public forum isn't the best option if you don't wish to bring hurtful words to the attention of, well, everyone.

"i am not trying to be hurtful with it. I came here to rant about it. Not to bring hurtful words to your attention."
"I happen to believe i posted this in a place i could complain about the swap i received. I also happen to believe that i did NOT try and bring celtic down by including her name"
The fact is that if you post public rants about other members, it is likely that the people concerned will read it, recognise themselves and be hurt. Yes, this is a place where you can complain, but it is not, and never could be, a place where you can do so without running a high risk of hurting the person concerned. If you don't want to hurt the person, post the rant in groups to which that person does not belong. Anyway, if your intention was also to give her constructive criticism as well as to rant (not that I see much constructive in your OP), you must have expected her to read it. As the others have said, any warning about inadequate glueing or 'advice' about adding more elements to her ATCs would have been better given in a PM.

@ryerye shame on you for being nasty yourself.
@spinjenny - It was not constructive critism nor did i intend it to be, and no i did not think she would read it because she is supposedly so tied up in many other things that she cant get her swaps out on time. And to hide my rant in a group forum is just ridiculous. I did not say the swappers name, nor give info. If i had then i would understand where this is coming from.
@vblarney - I never said it was a fact, i did say it was my personal opinion.

Whether or not the original poster did the right thing by posting here, it has prompted me to look at the profile of @celticdragonfly I am a little bemused by the various reasons that @celticdragonfly gives for having her swaps and tags "on hold" or late.
From this thread: "Yes i was super late sending i moved then had problems the the apartment postal carrier. "
From their profile: Getting married in November Stuff is in the trunk of their husbands car Says there are a few tags that she had cleared from the "sending" list that need to be added back to it ( does that mean they are not really sent?)
There's a profile comment from someone expecting and not receiving a tag, who has now been angelled, on their profile comments
The profile starts with what is effectively a statement that the swapper expects to be receiving 1's because of the forthcoming wedding.
I wonder if the original poster's rant was not so much triggered by the quality of the work on the atc in question, but by the fact that they had apparantly been waiting for it since May, combined with what @celticdragonfly says on her profile about stuff being on hold?

The "established ATC swappers" group theoretically does a quality check, but the officers are so inactive if you apply (and it's a closed group) it could take months and months for them to let you in and even if you get in, there hasn't been a swap in that group for as long as I've been in it.
The other thing you could do is try doing swaps on somewhere like deviantart or even atcsforall where you can look at someone's gallery before swapping with them and even pick out what card you want (with the stipulation that they're doing the same)

Acutally, only the 'founder' can accept you into a group when you apply...

@zigg13pra - but don't the officers have access to the "founder" and therefore notify them of a request?
zigg13pra 1 day ago
The officers cannot see who has clicked the 'join this group' button. Only the founders can. IF the officers are contacted by the swapper wanting to join, then in turn contact the founder.. yeah that would work, but so would contacting the founder themselves without involving an officer.

@celticdragonfly - I did not mention your name. But since you have decide to say something. I understand your frustration about my comment. It did not bother me when i knew you would be sending late, and i've said that. You've kept me updated on that. The atcs look thrown together. I understand if this is you method for atcs. But I never expected to get something that after soon long would be like that. I did not expect to receive a tag with maybe a 1 minute effort spent on it. And i apologize for saying that, i am not trying to be hurtful with it. I came here to rant about it. Not to bring hurtful words to your attention.
@snowqueen1426 - I do look at people's profiles and photos. Indeed that is why i set out to try a few personal swaps. With the swapper mentioned, I dropped from the astrology atc swap and she noticed. Kindly she asked if i would like to do it privately with her. Of course i really wanted to! Now as you go on about the rating system, yes i know all this. Which is why i talked about it being a rant and not taken seriously so thanks. The only reason i said i did not know how to rate is because i could very nicely still give her a 5 and heart for sending the set and tag out of the niceness of her heart and for keeping me updated about the latenesss even if i had to email her a few times just to ensure it was still coming. But it deserves a 3 for lateness even if kept in the loop. It has been since july that the swap ended.
It was simply i wish i could rate for my personal opinion of the swaps i receive to a letter grade scale to without it being harmful to the swapper in a rating way that all would judge. Because that would be unfair which is the reason i did not post picture of the atcs sent to me. Anything is better than nothing and art styles are random and many. Just because i don't appreciate the style i was sent doesn't mean i don't know how to rate.
As for the talk of atc groups, yes i am in one. But no i don't feel the need to join swaps i don't feel inclined to. Atc groups really have nothing to do with my rant, I was more than happy with joining in the astrology atc swap with celtic. It was my choice! I have no reason not to join in swaps with her either. She is a nice person. Even if she doesn't see me in the same light now. I happen to believe i posted this in a place i could complain about the swap i received. I also happen to believe that i did NOT try and bring celtic down by including her name, nor photos of the swapped cards.
Just because i did not like the cards does NOT mean i need lectured by any of the people above. Even if it was just said as advice. If a person sends something as someone mentioned how will they ever get better? A teacher gives criticism. Although i am not a teacher, if someone else doesn't say it, then who will? I wasn't saying it to her, i was upset and wanted someone to be understanding as a few had been. Sorry if my criticism was undue to anyone elses point of view but my opinion is my own and i needed to share out of frustration.
Thanks.

A teacher wouldn't give criticism in front of the whole class.

I think that if you want to "improve" a swapper's ATC ability, you could always just send them a PM. I doubt they'd appreciate it, but you could do it.
As for your rant: The "you don't meet my standards" ATC rant is a touchy one on swap-bot. Mainly because of all the reasons listed above as well as the fact that so many people have made similar complaints before. You could always look for past ATC rants and find the people that think the same way and swap with them. Don't know what to tell you if they also send you sub-par ATCs. Wait, actually I do: Buy them on Etsy or look at Flickr photos for ones you'd like to trade for.
Just an FYI: It is kind of mean to say that someone did the "minimum in a quick fashion" when that's really just your personal opinion, not a fact. A rant in the public forum isn't the best option if you don't wish to bring hurtful words to the attention of, well, everyone.

"i am not trying to be hurtful with it. I came here to rant about it. Not to bring hurtful words to your attention."
"I happen to believe i posted this in a place i could complain about the swap i received. I also happen to believe that i did NOT try and bring celtic down by including her name"
The fact is that if you post public rants about other members, it is likely that the people concerned will read it, recognise themselves and be hurt. Yes, this is a place where you can complain, but it is not, and never could be, a place where you can do so without running a high risk of hurting the person concerned. If you don't want to hurt the person, post the rant in groups to which that person does not belong. Anyway, if your intention was also to give her constructive criticism as well as to rant (not that I see much constructive in your OP), you must have expected her to read it. As the others have said, any warning about inadequate glueing or 'advice' about adding more elements to her ATCs would have been better given in a PM.

Angelic, this is just nasty of you! Pure and simple. To bring this to the PF's is just wrong. I see you do not understand that your little rant has caused some waves and I find that even more irritating then the rant itself!
Shame on you.

Public forum or not, there is nothing wrong with anything i said.
@ryerye shame on you for being nasty yourself.
@spinjenny - It was not constructive critism nor did i intend it to be, and no i did not think she would read it because she is supposedly so tied up in many other things that she cant get her swaps out on time. And to hide my rant in a group forum is just ridiculous. I did not say the swappers name, nor give info. If i had then i would understand where this is coming from.
@vblarney - I never said it was a fact, i did say it was my personal opinion.
@dulcimer - Actually yea they do, you must have missed some classes.

A good teacher never criticizes a student in front of classmates. That is plainly cruel and against policy. I am sorry if your education included such instances @AngelicDagger that is just sad.

Damn, and here I always thought that teachers who belittled students in front of the entire class were the norm instead of the exception. I had them from Kindergarten to college. Must be California's superlative educational system that allows such behavior, I don't know. I had professors who took much delight in humiliating students to the point of tears.

My friend Wil Smith said it best I think.
"Don't start nothin'...won't be nothin' "
Don't come rantin' in a public forum about someone's work and expect them to keep their mouth shut. Just because they're busy, doesn't mean they won't take a minute or so to read the forums.
This is why I do very few ATC swaps....God forbid I get someone who thinks my work is crap or not up to their standards.

Whether or not the original poster did the right thing by posting here, it has prompted me to look at the profile of @celticdragonfly I am a little bemused by the various reasons that @celticdragonfly gives for having her swaps and tags "on hold" or late.
From this thread: "Yes i was super late sending i moved then had problems the the apartment postal carrier. "
From their profile: Getting married in November Stuff is in the trunk of their husbands car Says there are a few tags that she had cleared from the "sending" list that need to be added back to it ( does that mean they are not really sent?)
There's a profile comment from someone expecting and not receiving a tag, who has now been angelled, on their profile comments
The profile starts with what is effectively a statement that the swapper expects to be receiving 1's because of the forthcoming wedding.
I wonder if the original poster's rant was not so much triggered by the quality of the work on the atc in question, but by the fact that they had apparantly been waiting for it since May, combined with what @celticdragonfly says on her profile about stuff being on hold?

Stressing.
I'm trying to remain positive. But that is not always easy.
I need to vent badly, but i can't vent to alex. He has already given an opinion about it, and usually that means he doesn't want to hear more. I can't vent here either. Just simply. Everyone is faced with choices, unfortunately some of those choices disclude others. It is just simply mean. No one person is blind to others around them - Even if they try to be. If i am some how blind to one, or have been dropped from some vision of another. Then there is something wrong.
But i have no regrets in my actions, they are sensible to me. My choices may have diminished my time to do what i enjoy, but i try and make time on my days off. But i see things wrong in actions of another, and it hurts. Deeply.
I get the pleasure of being in my hometown, i get the pleasure of not worrying about money, i get the pleasure to have my sincere loving but annoying boyfriend. Which btw brings me to another thing i wanted to mention. I recognize my cruelty to alex. He annoys the shit out of me sometimes, okay most of the time. Its when he has pissed me off to the fullest that we fight even if only a few minutes - i feel relieved and happier. And just then when he gives up on playing around. I want to play and annoy because i hate to see him sad. Seriously for as obliviously happy he is, it is just horrible to see him sad. God i love him! But still i wish i were nicer to him, but i can only be nicer when he is actually not pissing me off. If i say no, stop, please stop, ect. It doesn't matter to him. So hence this wonderful cycle we go through sometimes daily, sometimes faster or slower. Faster generally. But it can skip a day.
So yep, tis glorious and emotional right now. Being positive isn't easy. I unpacked 2 boxes the other day, we've lived there for 2 months and yea. Life is so hecktic, that i don't have time to do what makes me feel best. That basically is stay at home, do my work outs, and sleep. No disruptions. As in i put everything else in my life to the side and curl up into an anti social ball, until curiousity about the outside world grabs my attention. I mean fuck im half way there, i never get to talk to some friends, and some friends dont talk to me - and its not even on account of fighting or not being available. I'm literally just a few steps away from my anti social ball phase. And it lasts awhile.
Well nothing can be perfect in the perfect new apartment world of me and alex in oklahoma.

Random ranting and lil update
So this is just a bs post because i have to get it off my mind.
I feel awful because i feel like i have lost my friend destiny.
See i am awful at talking to my friends often especially when i go hermit as alex has related to me. I understand the way i am, fighting is futile and makes me feel bad because i think my friends begin to think i am not there for them... Of course i would like to think i am there for them when they need to talk but i understand that it is easier to just talk to the person who is always there because they know what is going on in your life ect ect. I'm just not that person for anyone right now. It kinda makes me sad... Okay it makes me really sad.
I mean i have alex. The love of my life. But I think i will always wish i were more, or something for him. Like more perfect of a woman blah blah blah. It's just not me, but knowing he still loves me. I have to bring that to my nonsensical heads thinking... Just hard sometimes...
Back to destiny.
I played friendly or tried with her new guy friend, snow, on myspace. Well i stopped doing it because i went hermit. Today i wanted to check in with friends, so i got on. So i see he had written me a message something like this 'It has bought d, you okay?' Kind of him to ask, yes yes. Disrespectful and assholish to call me an it. I was soo insulted by that. But anyways, destiny isn't telling me much At ALL any more about her life and stuff. Even when i shot a message her way... Of course my sweet dez always tells me she misses me and stuff. But bleh.... I sent her a message to ask how she was and she says that and when am i moving back... I mean i know other things go on in her life but im just not a part of knowing about it if im not there... So i am hurt and confused, and maybe even concerned about my friendship with destiny, and if there is something i am missing and why i would be called an 'it' I feel like im acting jealous over snow, but i am not.
I am quite upset because my best friend no longer, even while i was in oklahoma, includes me in a spiritual side. She did there for a bit connect with me, i think. But i worry that snow is leading her on a fantastical journey, and falling for it like with another guy she dated. I feel like a BITCH for saying that... GRRR. I hope i am wrong, but weather or not its true - i've lasted past it before. And she'll always be my girl bff, just no replacing her.
Bleh i dont know what else to think. I don't know if that means let her eventually come talk to me again, or just go ahead and reply to her, ...... Or maybe just focus more on new friendship with stephanie and my guy bff raffy who will be visiting soon - woots.
---------------
Okay no more rampage down here.
Alex recently got us both each nintendo dsi. I've been rocking out playing pokemon. Woots. Oh and also brain age, i started at age 62, now im at 39. Alex of course better than me. He started at like 59? and now he is at 28.
We drove around earlier the day he got the ds's. Pictures!!
We also went on an adventure to powderhorn wildlife management park, at like midnight. It was fun, the sky - ugh amazing and clear. We walked around a bit but not far into it because alex was using a cellphone and a ds, me also my ds - as light. It was soo dark out there, with the car off - you couldnt see your feet. So FUN!! But we did hear rustling and twigs breaking all around us. Either lots of animals or hmm...
No sky picture but a picture of a spirit orb maybe? Had several others but this one is the best?
Okay now also an update on everything else. Ive been doing great on keeping the house clean. Trying to be nice though to alex even though he refuses to clean the kitchen for days and days.... Even after i do a very good pre-clean... like all he needs to do is unload and reload the dish washer and take out the garbage.
Oh and i haven't practiced with my sphere T.T' I need to but pokemon are controlling my hands almost from wake up to bed. So needless to say i don't feel i can post a video with absolutely no practice... But i still have the great surprise when i do finally record me again.
So k thnx
Much love around the world and back to the moon.

Random post
So my raffy had said he was having a problem with posting a comment on here, and it got me to thinking i need to make a post for the week =).
So lets see an update!
Earlier this week i met Stephanie? not sure if i'm spelling that correct x.x'
But shes a nice girl, moved up here from florida and her fiance is joining her this week from there. We smoked, I was high as a kite! And we watched some movies. I got her interested in contact juggling ^^.
Today alex and i went to the laundry mat, and i decided that mexicans only arrive after a certain time because they have to drop their kids off to school. I have NOTHING against mexicans. But i have a huge problem with most that i have been around at our laundry mat.
Lets see... Oh we also went to korean food restaurant. We brought home some side dishes. I'm pretty much addicted to them. I make my own spinach one, the red one is cut kimchi. Idk what the cucumber one is called ^^''
Here is a picture also of a soup alex made for me. It looks sooo gross. But i swear it is delicious. One of those things you just have to close your eyes and try it.
Oh so i also have to share a story of a dumb woman on myspace.
Yesterday i think i made a new myspace just for the apps so i could invite many many many so i wouldn't disturb my friends and family with them.
So i go through random lists, add people, invite them apps ect ect.
Today i get on an received an email from a woman saying this.
"I want MY FIANCE off your top or i will delete you from his friends list"
Now i do want to share i don't give a fuck who you are or w/e, don't yell at me, don't tempt me or try and make me do something. I wanted to be really mean but i also wanted the woman to realize she was being stupid. I'll share what i wrote back.
"Attention ma'am,
My friends list top's are set to random, If you would refresh my profile over and over you can see that.
Secondly If you could read properly on my page i am listed as in a relationship.
Learn about myspace, and don't assume people are whores as you assume your fiance is by thinking that. You are not only trying to attack me, but him as well. I would do the same wondering about my boyfriend but our relationship is stable and I trust him to tell me anything i ask. Perhaps you should have asked your husband why he is in my friends list. Then he would have probably figured it was due to the myspace apps, which certain ones you need people to become your friends for. I use this myspace page for my apps so that my friends and family on my other page are not bothered by me sending a million app invites out.
Have a good day.
Congratulations.
Thanks =)
~Z Kitty"
Seemed reasonable enough of a reply. Yes i felt like i was belittling her a bit. But she needed it. So a bit later, no response but i do notice he is no longer in my friends list. =) Piece of advice, never be that woman (or man) who cant stand corrected.
Lets see what else...
Oh how bout an update on my steps.
Step one, My juggling. Hmm i've been practicing but i feel like im not doing very well. So i'm taking some steps back on it and only am working on a few things. Oh and i talked to senseistrange. Sooo cool. He suggests i try recording myself in front of firelight. Sounded like a fun idea so i'll do that this saturday with candles, a mirror in front of me and a surprise! The surprise i can't say until the video is out. But i painted my wooden ball red in case i feel like switching to it during the video.
Step two, I havent even gotten my stupid page printed >.< So no comment.
Step three, our sleep schedule got fucked again. Should be fixed now? Still aiming for one job application this week.
Step four, I had two crazy dreams last night. One of me and alex getting married. The day of our wedding, friday, something came up - i mentally broke down from all the stress of the preparation of the wedding. In all my dreams of us marrying, i always notice my dress. I think it is part of the symbolism to make me know its our wedding. Well our marriage gets put off not one day but 3 days and we don't have it until monday due to more and more problems arising. Monday comes around and i wake up. Strange to me that the only dreams i can think of at the moment of alex and i getting married - they all have some sort of sadness that scares me during the dream. Like we can never get married happily.
Oh and note to self, Astral Plane is calling.
Step five, Ive taken playing far on the new myspace. Count is being a booger. I was on wlo yesterday. Moussa told me i had a lot of work to do on our forums x.x'''''''''' Scaryyyyy! Alex has just been purely annoying me recently. But he doesn't seem to care how it makes me feel. The apartment though, It is still fairly keeping clean! Only problem is in the bed room where our we have no dirty laundry atm, but 4 bags of clean laundry that need put away x.x'''' I ate as much soup that alex made as utterly possible. Infact i really enjoy the broth part so i pretty much just ate that and left all the other nummies inside. But we have groceries and i admit i haven't eaten much of our fresh fruit yet but i'm eager to =)
That's about it for an update.
OH Crap no it's not.
There is a movie out called 'Phoebe in Wonderland' Watch that movie.
I thoroughly enjoyed it as a movie about a little girl who has problems.
No this is not a movie that is all fun and joyous.
It is a story about a little girl who has to escape to wonderland in her mind.
I would recommend it to anyone but i think children can also watch the movie with a great understanding.
HAVE A GREAT DAY
HUGS TO ALL!
SMILE MORE!

So lets see an update!
Earlier this week i met Stephanie? not sure if i'm spelling that correct x.x'
But shes a nice girl, moved up here from florida and her fiance is joining her this week from there. We smoked, I was high as a kite! And we watched some movies. I got her interested in contact juggling ^^.
Today alex and i went to the laundry mat, and i decided that mexicans only arrive after a certain time because they have to drop their kids off to school. I have NOTHING against mexicans. But i have a huge problem with most that i have been around at our laundry mat.
Lets see... Oh we also went to korean food restaurant. We brought home some side dishes. I'm pretty much addicted to them. I make my own spinach one, the red one is cut kimchi. Idk what the cucumber one is called ^^''
Here is a picture also of a soup alex made for me. It looks sooo gross. But i swear it is delicious. One of those things you just have to close your eyes and try it.
Oh so i also have to share a story of a dumb woman on myspace.
Yesterday i think i made a new myspace just for the apps so i could invite many many many so i wouldn't disturb my friends and family with them.
So i go through random lists, add people, invite them apps ect ect.
Today i get on an received an email from a woman saying this.
"I want MY FIANCE off your top or i will delete you from his friends list"
Now i do want to share i don't give a fuck who you are or w/e, don't yell at me, don't tempt me or try and make me do something. I wanted to be really mean but i also wanted the woman to realize she was being stupid. I'll share what i wrote back.
"Attention ma'am,
My friends list top's are set to random, If you would refresh my profile over and over you can see that.
Secondly If you could read properly on my page i am listed as in a relationship.
Learn about myspace, and don't assume people are whores as you assume your fiance is by thinking that. You are not only trying to attack me, but him as well. I would do the same wondering about my boyfriend but our relationship is stable and I trust him to tell me anything i ask. Perhaps you should have asked your husband why he is in my friends list. Then he would have probably figured it was due to the myspace apps, which certain ones you need people to become your friends for. I use this myspace page for my apps so that my friends and family on my other page are not bothered by me sending a million app invites out.
Have a good day.
Congratulations.
Thanks =)

Seemed reasonable enough of a reply. Yes i felt like i was belittling her a bit. But she needed it. So a bit later, no response but i do notice he is no longer in my friends list. =) Piece of advice, never be that woman (or man) who cant stand corrected.
Lets see what else...
Oh how bout an update on my steps.
Step one, My juggling. Hmm i've been practicing but i feel like im not doing very well. So i'm taking some steps back on it and only am working on a few things. Oh and i talked to senseistrange. Sooo cool. He suggests i try recording myself in front of firelight. Sounded like a fun idea so i'll do that this saturday with candles, a mirror in front of me and a surprise! The surprise i can't say until the video is out. But i painted my wooden ball red in case i feel like switching to it during the video.
Step two, I havent even gotten my stupid page printed >.< So no comment.
Step three, our sleep schedule got fucked again. Should be fixed now? Still aiming for one job application this week.
Step four, I had two crazy dreams last night. One of me and alex getting married. The day of our wedding, friday, something came up - i mentally broke down from all the stress of the preparation of the wedding. In all my dreams of us marrying, i always notice my dress. I think it is part of the symbolism to make me know its our wedding. Well our marriage gets put off not one day but 3 days and we don't have it until monday due to more and more problems arising. Monday comes around and i wake up. Strange to me that the only dreams i can think of at the moment of alex and i getting married - they all have some sort of sadness that scares me during the dream. Like we can never get married happily.
Oh and note to self, Astral Plane is calling.
Step five, Ive taken playing far on the new myspace. Count is being a booger. I was on wlo yesterday. Moussa told me i had a lot of work to do on our forums x.x'''''''''' Scaryyyyy! Alex has just been purely annoying me recently. But he doesn't seem to care how it makes me feel. The apartment though, It is still fairly keeping clean! Only problem is in the bed room where our we have no dirty laundry atm, but 4 bags of clean laundry that need put away x.x'''' I ate as much soup that alex made as utterly possible. Infact i really enjoy the broth part so i pretty much just ate that and left all the other nummies inside. But we have groceries and i admit i haven't eaten much of our fresh fruit yet but i'm eager to =)
That's about it for an update.
OH Crap no it's not.
There is a movie out called 'Phoebe in Wonderland' Watch that movie.
I thoroughly enjoyed it as a movie about a little girl who has problems.
No this is not a movie that is all fun and joyous.
It is a story about a little girl who has to escape to wonderland in her mind.
I would recommend it to anyone but i think children can also watch the movie with a great understanding.
HAVE A GREAT DAY
HUGS TO ALL!
SMILE MORE!
