It took me 2 hours, 9 minutes to screenshot + collate + crop my armor collection in Guild Wars... Why no, I had nothing better to do tonight :D

This doesn't include hats, gloves or costumes. ^_^

........ Yeah. :D

Yesterday while shopping with mum, we popped into B&Q to get a shovel and some other garden-y type things. Just as you went in there were stacks, like, 15 or so of bright orange buckets piled about 20 or 30 high. Mum and I looked at each other, ran over to the buckets and grabbed one each. Turned to each other and proudly said...

"I has a bucket!" complete with a ^_^ type smile on our faces.

We did actually *buy* the buckets as we needed them. Much amusement was had while purchasing the buckets, putting the buckets in the car, bringing the buckets into the house.... and so on. We left the buckets on the kitchen table and went about our day.

However, the tale doesn't end there.

This morning while I was getting my breakfast mum was on her way out to work. She says her usual goodbyes while she's leaving "Be good, do the dishes, oh and..." She stopped talking mid sentence, I turned around to go find a spoon for my Cheerios to find mum pointing at the table.

"No stealing mah bucket." She turned around and left the kitchen leaving me in fits of hysterics.

I love my mum :D

drazzi is sitting one foot away from me, and we are having commentversations on LJ.

We rock =D.

GW x MLP = OTP!

*Points to userpic* That is Marla. Marla is my Ranger in Guild Wars.

Marla is a member of the Blinkie Ponie Armie. A Guild consisting of about 25ish people made up from LiveJournal Support. The name Blinkie Ponie Armie is a support in-joke.

In Support land each year someone organises a "Secret Bunneh" which is a lot like Secret Santa. My secret bunneh turned out to be coffeechica! Carrie, like me, plays Guild Wars. So it seemed fitting for her to do a Guild Wars themed Bunneh pressie. And so the following was born...

This is Marla Fae. A custom made my little pony who was originally pink! She is now a lovely shade of purple. On her foot is a little flame/leaf design which is on the bottom of the BPA cape. The emblem on her butt (or side, or wherever the pony emblem is) is of two keys crossed. This is essentially the design of the BPA cape. :D

This is (almost) everything that was sent! There was also a MST3K DVD and a bag of M&Ms. Because everyone loves M&Ms.

Ponie Clothes!

A shadow bow! The text didn't come out too clear on this photo and I'm way too lazy to take another. The detail on this Bow is just... WOW. this is what Shadow Bows *actually* look like. And it's *perfect*

The text on the little label says "Shadow Bow of Expertise - Piercing Damage 15-28 + 1 Expertise 10% armor penetration Damage 20% Customised for Marla Fae --- VERY FRAGILE NOT FOR COMBAT" So I'm being EXTRA careful with this bow. :D

And this is a cane! Again, the details on this cane are just... perfect to the real thing. this is an example of the actual Cane.

Other things included a Candy Cane sword which is an *actual* Candy Cane. It even came with a little "Slashing Damage 10-10" sticker thing. There were also lots of little mini Candy Canes! Candy Canes in Guild Wars remove Death Penalty which you get when you die and makes you 15% weaker. So Marla!Pony has Nummy candy to make her better!

And oh god. This is just FABULOUS.

Thank you SO much, Carrie. It's absolutely WONDERFUL :D

Anniversary

LiveJournal Support Trick or treating

2005-10-28T14:42:47Z

If you're not a support vol, ignore this. Kthx.

So. Trick or treats!

Any volunteer needs to do one of the following:
* Give me links to 3 styles requests you have answered that you are proud of. These can be recent or they can be old ones. Just ones you think you answered really well.
* Give me 5 links to stuff you just answered recently (stuff that's green)

Any I2s + Supporthelps has to:
* Write me a basic outline for a s2howto tutorial that *isn't* code based, ie, it's done via the wizard. For example a tutorial on how to add a banner image in a certain style with a promise you'll follow it up in the next few weeks (help will be provided if need be!)

For Support admins:
* Just comment and tell me how your day is.

Yes, I2s+ can do the "any" challenge if they really want... :p

In return I will write a haiku about anything you want! I'll even bust into a two/three verse haiku. For extra special fun-ness, I'll award a real prize for the best tutorial/best answers/current answers (a coupon of some kind!)

All comments are screened until after Halloween :)

Week catchup!

2005-07-24T21:41:07Z

Right! Sunday at 10pm and finally have the time to update about the week :x.

Monday, dull. IT in the morning, job search in the afternoon.
Tuesday, dull. IT in the morning, presentation work in the afternoon.
Wednesday, dull. Did some training thingy that lasted all of 20 minutes and goofed off for the rest of it. Got to go home at 2 though.
Thursday!

Joyous joyous Thursday.

At some point last week, I realised that this week was the week when annarti was in the UK, and 10 minutes away from my house. I asked drazzi if I could gate-crash at one point and we decided that Thursday is a good day for us all. So. thursday morning I had the fun job of going to the dentist for 10.45. Mum dropped me off, and then it was up to me to find my way into Huyton. This involved walking down a street by the dentist, getting lost for 2 minutes, going to Hunts Cross station and getting City Line train to Lime Street Station. I stupidly missed one train *while I was sat there*. Thankfully no-one was around >_>. Got into Lime Street, got some cash, then jumped another train into huyton.

On the way into Huyton I realised that I forgot to bring Sallie's birthday/christmas/whatever present with me. No worries, knew a parent could bring it with them when they came to get me.

Got off the train and wandered down to Sal's house. Knew where it was, but still stood outside confused for a minute. Rang the doorbell and was greeted by a very cheery Sallie's mum :D. knew I was in the right place right away. (Her mum ROCKS! :D). Was then swiftly greeted by Sal and teh 'nartiness. :D:D:D. We sat in back and giggled for a bit. And we sang the llama song. Only the other two stopped at the end of the first verse... and I kept going. And they were like O_o at me.

Very odd.

Decided when we were going to the cinema, and left about 2ish. Got there ready for the 2.15 showing of Madagascar. *Funny* film Very funny. Will probably get it on DVD when it comes out. On the way to the cinema we talked about teh Kinky-J and her american-ness (XDD). Sallie was doing her american voice and say very Kinky-esque things. It was fun. Was as if she was there with us XDDD. Kinky, very famously, threw up in the popcorn when she went to the cinema with Sal~. It's a legendary event. *nods*

Finished there and walked down to McDonalds. (MAC MAC NOT MIC! THERES NO I!) (there's no A really either, but shh). We shared a thing of chips while waiting for sallie's mum. 'Narti complained of the cold while me and Sallie basked in the wonderful British summer weather.

We went home and arsed about for a bit. Watched the Aristocats which I'd never seen before. OMG SAL! It *WAS* made in '70s :O link. that was fun. We mocked the female cat about how much of a skanky woman she was. Harlot.

After that we had dinner (chicken... thingy with stuffing and stuff.. verray nice. Potatoes (roast and mashed!), carrots and peeeaas.). Very very nice. We had chocolate milk with that too. I tried to drink the end bit of Sal's drink but she threw it out before I could :( Mean! then we had carrot and orange cake. Sal doesn't like cake (she's odd) so it was up to me and 'Narti to polish it off. Mwahaha.

After that we watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition. It was a fuuuuun episode. Two hours long. And had Paul, Preston AND British Ed in it <3. We were teh happy. THough I think 'narti was confused about our crazy obsession :x. It was one of our favourite episodes too. Eeee. That was fantastic :D.

Shortly after that, Sal's parents came home after being out for nearly 2 hours or so (I forget) and all 5 of us watched CSI:Miama. (Was it Miami? I forget). Twice now I've been at 'net people's houses and watched CSI. I've tried to watch it myself but can't get into it. Though I throughly enjoy it in the company of others. It's very very odd.

After that I called mum to come get me (didn't want to leave. But had to call her by 10).

Then I got to see the infamous giraffe room of Sal's :D. It's SO giraffey. You may have seen pictures, but you don't get the full UNFness of it all until you've been. Aaaaand I got to wear The Pimp Hat™ ! Her room is so fantastic and I was squeeing at everything. She has a blue lamb banana that I must get in the near future. *glare*. Yes!

'Narti looked up cricket-y type things and was making odd noises about that. Me and Sal just went o_O at the weird little aussie. XDD. (SHES SO AUSSIE ITS CUTE.) I remember at one point I was just like "yeah, just keep on talking, say anything, I just love the accent XD). Apparently I have an infectious laugh o_O;

But yes!

While I was upstairs, I got two pictures! One was the original sketch garney did of Kamara, and the second was Sallie's spiderplant character holding a cabbage :DD. (in joke!) I need to find frames for all of these now and get them on my walls. I don't have much wall space though, so this should be fun!

Mum came to Sal's about 10.40ish, I got to give her the giraffe I've had my hands on for over a year O_o; and all was well in the world! :D We hugged again with our goodbyes and off I went. I babbled to mum all the way home about what we got up to. We took a quick detour to Maccy D's again and I got a drink and some fries, and mum got a fish burger. o_O;

Then we came home and that was Thursday over with! I so totally have to spend more time at Sal's. I mean, she only lives like 10 mins away :P. It took us like 2 years to re-meet (knew of each other in school, but didn't know each other). Hopefully it wont take us that long again to meetup again :D.

Friday, again. Dull. Job search in which we didn't really do anything.
Saturday, dull.
Sunday. Went to a little picnic site with mum, had lunch, came back and just did a lot of Support things :)

All in all, last week was pretty darn good. :D With any luck, this week should be good too as I have this interview to go on. Eee. :D.

And it's taken me 40 minutes to write this so I should post it now :D.

Movie cap meme!

2005-06-30T23:09:31Z

1. Pick 5 movies that mean a lot to you and choose one cap from each movie.
~~2. Post those caps in your LJ and screen all comments.~~. No. Because I like to comment back and I'm too lazy to re-screen. Just... don't look at the comment page first, k? ;)
3. Your friends have to guess which movies you chose.

I could have gone on for a lot more movies. :x. But I'll stop at five ^_^.
