And now for something completely different, an actual update =0

On Tuesday~ I did some sending of emails to various printing companies around Adelaide in search of a job. One got back to me yesterday to set up an interview for next Tuesday :D Just to clarify, these places don't only do printing, but designing and desktop publishing type stuff, too, so yay! Cross fingers for something to happen there~

After playing some of my new and shiny Pokémon Platinum on the DS, I was inspired to get out my little old Crystal version on GBC, only to find that the entire game has wiped itself. This would ordinarily be pretty annoying but oh well, get to play through it again, get over it etc. But no. That was the game that had my Mew on it. MY MEW D: I'm never going to get another one of them! I queued up in the Myer Centre, a 15-year-old girl in a line of under-ten-year-old-boys, to get that bloody Mew, and now it's GONE~ forever. I know, nobody owns a GBC anymore for me to play them with, but STILL. MEW. Not a happy 'Narti, no.

Dad's buggered his back =( In a can't get out of bed kind of way. This is doubly suckage because it's his birthday tomorrow, and he and Mum were going out to a sexy restaurant tonight for dinner. Course, the bonus of having three doctors, a nurse and a physio in the family is that he's had plenty of the right kind of advice to get himself fixed. Still. No sexy restaurant =( Not that Colin or I were ever going, but still sad.

I just tore a hole in my jeans. Goddamnit. I LIKE these jeans >< And I've only had 'em a year. I NEED INCOME.

For all the new people who've arrived on my flist over the last month or less, I feel I should pimp h_bee and yrae, my arts and writings journals respectively. HB is completely open, yrae comm is MOSTLY open except for Silent Harmony, you'll have to join the community to read that, but I don't bite =3

And on that note, I'm going to write. Possibly. See if drawing distracts me again. It's been doing that lately X3

( the questions )

25. Do any of your characters have pets? Tell us about them.

The Own have their horses :D Which are all actually individual and have personalities and such, but I won't go into them because there are fifteen of the damn things and I've already let the boys ramble about their steeds here.

Lynnlita has a leopard cub called Dapple. It's always a cub. They release it into the wild and replace it with another cub when it gets too old, cos that's Llayad for you.

Kurae has a cat, and possibly some of the other boys do, too, but I forget. Their pets have never actually come up in anything.

There was a sort of palace cat back in the day, a ginger one that died when Nol was about 8 or 9 I think. It wasn't so much Nol's and Mithé's pet as just the resident cat. Fed scraps from the kitchen, patted by any staff member it rubbed up against, and just sort of wandered where it wanted to go. It never liked Nol, tho, and Mithé's not really a cat person, so they never replaced it once it carked it. Probably Alurié (Nol's mum) got it.

The Kazinian imperial palace has TIGERS. But they're defence rather than pets. In a 'RELEASE THE TIGERS' kind of way.

Flannel Flower had a black... gelding? I think? Possibly a stallion. Anyway. When she was playing Isai the Wasp, black horsie called Tazin, named after the unicorn belonging to Sallie's War X3 Only FF didn't know that, clearly.

Erm... that's possibly all of them. None of them are really cuddle-up-on-your-lap pets. OH. And Tsyllaes doesn't have canines, 'cept the African wild dogs in Llayad. It's my world and if I say they don't have smelly yappy woofy slobbery dogs, they don't >(

24. How willing are you to kill your characters if the plot so demands it? What’s the most interesting way you’ve killed someone?

'Willing' is probably not the right word. I'll kill them if someone has to die, but I won't bloody like it. Most often, they die off-screen so I don't have to actually write it. Writing deaths, especially of my favourite characters, is hard and I don't like doing it. I have killed a lot of them off, though. Body count of named characters in Rust was~ seven. Or six if you don't count Yan, but he's so totally dead, people. He required killing to get where he is now, so he counts. Tarnish is currently sitting at two, with at least another three to come.

I don't really kill them in interesting ways, though. Lessee... Stabbed in the eye with a sword, throat sliced, throat sliced, shot, old age/heatwave, shot, shot, assassinated, shot/poisoned, assassinated, shot and shot. I like shooting people, apparently. But yeah, all pretty standard stuff for this story.
