    Here we go.
    2008

    Fresh year, long list.

    I hope this year will be better then last and that I can succeed in all my goals and projects for this year.

    1. Project F.A.Y.E.D. / Improve art skill
    [Importance: Medium]
    Personal drawing project to improve, expand my variety in drawing and also to draw for others

    2. Lose weight in real life
    [Importance: Medium]
    I'm far too self conscious sometimes, but I think I have a bit of pudge that I could stand to lose. Plus I'd like to be reasonably healthy.

    3. Relearn French
    [Importance: Low]
    It's not entirely important but I'd like to expand my French base to improve my resume, plus it'd help if I got out to Quebec again.

    4. Relearn Guitar
    [Importance: Low]
    Would be nice to be able to play again/play some songs I really like.

    5. Study more and read more
    [Importance: High]
    I really should study more for school and I'd like to read more to expand my knowledge and culture.

    6. MFF/save money for specific things
    [Importance: High]
    I've got to get to MFF again, and I have a few things I've got to have money together for in advance (Games {Burnout Paradise, S.S.B.B., etc.}, School {books, etc.} Other, etc.)

    7. Get Driver Licence: G2
    [Importance: Medium]
    It'd be useful and I'd greatly help when we're headed to MFF but it's not TOTALLY necessary.

    So those are my main 7 goals for this year. Hoping for the best with my own and wish you all the best of luck with everything that you do this year. Take care!

    Verace, out.

    (P.S. Thank you to everyone I got to ring in the year with, you all rock.)

    Christmas list meme
    Instructions:

    - Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

    - If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

    - Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

    Step Two
    - Surf around your friends' list (or friends' friends', or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

    - If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

    You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

    There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.


    Step Three
    Post your wishlist to your livejournal/blog! you never know, someone may be able to grant you a holiday wish!

    My Wishlist, behind the cut

    Verace's list

    1. Verace Icons. I love having different icons but I only have one "sad" icon and like three happy/neutral icons on here. I could use a few with varying expression and/or emotions. I'll use them on MSN if I run out of room on here too.

    2. Gift art. Somewhat linked to 1 but with moar fox...or dingodile Verace....or taur...etc. Verace w/ 2 or 9 tails or infuriated with 13, Dingodile Verace, Dragox Verace, or Veracetaur would all rock muchly. Though I'd like to see more for Sky ( http://yoshiwannabe.deviantart.com/ Sky Blue Yoshi with red hair and a Mario style hat with "YW" instead of an M) and for Garral ( http://garrjadedragon.deviantart.com/ Green dragon with white belly scales, horns and headfur and two long whiskers, the horns shaped like lightning bolts. and glasses.) Me and either of them would be cool and me with both of them would freaking rock.

    Basically any gift art with me would be yay.

    3. Christmas cards. Because I don't get much mail =<

    4. Music. Lots. LOVE IT. MOAR. (avoid hip hop and country for the most part though. =X I could use more pure instrumental stuff though)

    5. Looney Labs Stuff: Specifically:
    - Are You a Werewolf? : http://www.looneylabs.com/OurStores/product.html?ProductID=71&List=Looney+Labs
    - Early American Chrononauts : http://www.looneylabs.com/OurStores/product.html?ProductID=225&List=Looney+Labs
    - Proton : http://www.looneylabs.com/OurStores/product.html?ProductID=30&List=Looney+Labs
    - Some of the Promos. (The Aquarius Wild card, Mating Pair of Pterodactyls Artifact for Chrononauts and Start The Clock Fluxx promo)

    6. Z-Man Games Stuff: Specifically:
    - No Thanks : http://www.zmangames.com/cardgames/no_thanks.htm
    - Street Illegal : http://www.zmangames.com/cardgames/street_illegal.htm
    - Ubongo : http://www.zmangames.com/boardgames/ubongo.htm

    7. Rock Band bundle. (A stretch I know but hey I'm throwing it up here XP)

    8. Rez for PS2 (burned can work too =X)

    9. A calendar for 2008.

    10. A digital camera. (edited) Remembered that this is one thing that I REALLY need and want. I had books here but I need a camera far over them.

    EDIT
    Note or message me for my address

    Wheeee.

    Galaxy Times Two
    Earlier this week I picked up Super Mario Galaxy, because I've been told it's awesome and I thought I had money left over from MFF.

    And today after much waiting and trekking around I picked up my pre-order of Geometry Wars: Galaxies.

    Both are freaking sweet =D

    ....But I'm actually flat broke now =X

    ....But the games are awesome! =D;

    Dear Santa...

    Dear Santa,

    This year I've been busy!

    In March I broke [info]whende58's X-Box (-12 points). In October I signed my organ donor card (28 points). Last week I ruled Duluth, Minnesota as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). In June I donated bone marrow to [info]marik_foxx in a life-saving procedure (300 points). In January I helped [info]dayken across the street (6 points).

    Overall, I've been nice (1022 points). For Christmas I deserve a Sony Playstation 3!

    Sincerely,
    chronosd

    Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:


    Sorry for breaking your XBox Sev =<
    I WOULD need to help you cross the street, wouldn't I, Dayken? =P
    LOL @ deserving a PS3. I wouldn't want to have to pay for one XD

    Post MFF Update
    (Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Con)

    After stressing about essays and plans and rides and rooms and everything it finally came together enough that we got down there and places to sleep and spend time at the con. Time that was far too short to see so many awesome people. Thank you to everybody who was cool and spent time with me, even if it was only a few moments I'm glad I got to see all of you.

    Some of the people I got to meet and/or hug were (In no specific order): Sky, Garral, Tolstoy, DragoMike, Giran, Mr. Lean, Ember, Tombfyre, Dayken, Don, Raccoon Drew, Unknown Wolf, Likeshine, Odendo, Duncan, Specs, Blimp Wolf, Ollis, Nik, Gir, Ed, Spyke, and more.... forgive me if I've forgotten you but there were so many of you in so little time =<.

    Saturday night's dinner time was sucky (For being "All American Food" A&W was far better in Canada....where it.. .y'know...started....Though maybe because it was "All American" that's why it tasted like McDonald's chemicals =V). But apart from the confusion, mediocre dinner and feeling abandoned when everyone pretty much vanished (FAILBOAT). Everything else rocked....except for the times when people had to leave =<.

    The love and lulz that bounced around made all the cramming for essays and all nighters and hectic planning and last minute problems all worth it. Also very glad I brough the Wii. Warioware + Highest speed setting is usually lulz just for watching someone try to keep up. Add Smooth Moves and it's funny watching someone's body flail in attempt to survive the game..... Add Mr. Lean and his astounding ability to lose all structure in the joints of his arms (probably because of SCIENCESCIENCESCIENCE) and the laughter factor just like explodes exponentially. XD

    Much love to Sky for being our driver and hopefully next year Garr and I'll get our licences so you don't get so destroyed ^^;.

    It was so weird being back home and then going to class today as if it didn't happen... it all felt so surreal. but then I realized that it all felt so connected and weird because it really did happen. I miss you all already and am already trying to plan for next year because I'm a maniac. (Sidenote: Any Recommendations for a partial fursuit? I'm looking to get one for next year)

    Also beat Lumines II 100%. YAY!

    Though... Apparently I couldn't escape it happening again this year....

    I don't think Sky or Garr caught it at the time....

    But...

    MFF less than a month away


    I'm getting very tense. I HAVE to get down there. I'll be devastated if I don't get to see the awesome people there. I'm regged for the con and it's all planned. Just waiting and hoping nothing goes wrong.

    I nearly cried when I was playing the "Bloomy Girls" skin in Lumines II on my PSP on the train, Thursday night. just the colours in the background and the music reminded me of the good times I had last November and just nearly made me cry. I need to get there. I'll die if I don't


    On a lighter note, I'm at 855 Gamerpoints now. Nearly into the four digits!

    Christmas drawing close
    So I've told my parents I don't want a Wii for Christmas because it's getting ridiculous trying to get one and they're probably going to release more colours and stuff next year.

    Stuffs been annoying and frustrating around here. It's getting close to my break though. Tuesday I have my Sociology exam and Wednesday I'll have my Psychology exam then I'll be done until next year.

    Things I'd like for Christmas.
    1. A scarf (like I asked for my birthday). A nice, long, warm scarf. Preferably 5ft+ in length

    2. I've been collecting the B-movie card games ( http://www.zmangames.com/cardgames/index.htm and scroll down). I've ordered in Kung Fu Samurai and once I get that the only two I'll need are Cannibal Pygmies and Scurvy Musketeers. Those two or some money to pay for Kung Fu Samurai would be awesome.

    3. A sketchbook (100 pages) for a project I'd like to do

    It's not a long list and it's not confined to this but this is what I can think of.

    Thanks for reading.

    Stuff I'd like

    Rants. Because I'm ticked.


    Rant 1: North Korea and nuclear arms
    NK. Seriously. What the fuck. Why do humans feel the need to spend millions of dollars on these big missiles that if anyone decides to fire one we're all doomed? There's no positive to having nuclear arms. You just make everyone mad and look like a jerk.

    Rant 2: Comments and Replies
    If you want someone to know something about their artwork then say it. If someone volunteers to do some art for a project (especially if they're not getting paid for it) You should at least acknowledge their entusiasm and charity to offer their time. Not saying anything makes someone feel like they're not even worth the time of day and makes you look like a jerk. I'm not saying you should say "LOL UR ART SUKS." Say something like "I don't think your style is quite what I'm looking for in a submission. Thank you for offering to participate though." It's not hard to have some freaking tact. Leaving someone in suspense or making them figure it out for themselves is very nerve wrenching.

    Grrr.

    Stoled meme!
    Stoled from Blue!

    The first five people to respond to this post (and follow instructions,) will get a piccy by me, (probably a sketch). I make no guarantees about quality, but It'll probable be less rough than my sketches leading up to full pics. Ehh, I might finish some of them.. y'know how things steam on n..n

    The only catch, of course; as with most memes, if you sign up (and to get arted,) you have to put this in your own journal as well.
