Lady Asphyxia

[size=1]Had you asked me, say, 2 months ago, I probably would have said Otaku Public and Otaku Arena. However, now, I'm more Otaku Lounge before anything else. I'll usually have two windows open -- one with Otaku Lounge, and a window where I browse the rest of the boards. My opinion on Otaku Lounge is that it's usually where things happen. There'll usually be posts in the Lounge. The rest of Otaku Public and Otaku Arena is sort of...slow for my tastes. I still spend time there, but I don't post. Actually, my posting has decreased a lot, which is quite funny, considering I'm on OtakuBoards at least once a day.[/size]

[size=1]At the moment, I'm living vicariously through people who have read the book, because I won't get it until Wednesday night. I've already found out who dies -- thank god -- and I'm living in suspense. ^_^ Solo, I'm going to pry it out of you.[/size]

[size=1]You know that feeling that you've just discovered a talent you never knew you had? Well, at the moment, I feel like that. Solo, that was great. It was soft, and sweet, not sharp and ragged. It conveyed the emotion in the best way, and it drew the reader in. I love it, quite simply.[/size]

[size=1]I shall now proceed to translate, because both of you seem mixed up. Yuka posted in the thread to help, saying that you need the Power of Summer before you can get to the next lair [which is what the original question related to] but it sounded like a question. I'm either helping, or being a pest. Heh.[/size]

[size=1]Public speaking skills -- the ability to manipulate a crowd. Can't go wrong with that, and I do all right. Besides, if we're trying to take over the human race... Oh, we aren't? Well then... ahem.[/size]

[size=1]Well, i certainly wish I could say that I was as perfect then as I am now ^.~, but seeing as I'm no where near perfect now, and I was even less so then, I won't. My first posts were really bad, but I got better as time went on. They always seemed to be coherant, though, which is a plus. So yeah, I've changed a lot, especially with the Newbie Lounge and it's creation/decimation. I'm glad it was there, and I'm actually glad that it went. The Newbie Lounge Petition thread was, apart from being odd, fun. Not that I wouldn't mind the newbie Lounge back, everyonce in a while, but I'm happy for it not to be here. [o.O I hoep that's Coherant. ^^"][/size]

[size=1]I think I remember you, unless I'm getting confused with someone else. Did you hang around in the Poetry Forum? Or am I just insane, with a bad memory? Either way, welcome back. Enjoy your stay, whether or not you become a residential. [color=white]However, introduction/returning/leaving threads aren't allowed. Just a point.[/color][/size]

[size=1]Well, you can map a character just as if you were writing a story. You can find a Character Chart [url=http://www.eclectics.com/articles/character.html]here[/url]. However, be careful, because often, at our level, if we map a character out too much, they become almost 2 dimensional because nothing is left to chance, if you know what I mean. Good luck.[/size]

[size=1]Heh. Finally, I get to see some more work from you, Mnemmy. T Man, the poem is about a lady with Alzheimers. Personally, I like the poem, partly because it isn't as cryptic as you usually make yourself. I like the Sarah part, the opening and conclusion, but the paper reference just doesn't seem to fit. ^_^ I'm glad I got to see more of your work. [/size]

[size=1]Practice not lying. Often people do things when the lie -- fiddle with their fingers or something. If you realise you're lying, stop. If you don't realise until after you've lied, then backtrack and start again. Obviously, there's a reason for lying. What situations do you lie in? Is it because you don't think the truth is enough and won't emphasise your point enough so other people can see why you're upset [or something]? Or is it just to protect people in general? Honestly, I suggest, if it's the latter reason, to stop. People can protect themselves, and some things [i]need[/i] to be said. On the other hand, you have to remember that sometimes holding the truth back can be better for all involved. You just have to use your judgement.[/size]

Go on, go! Besides which, you're fun to talk to, and you listen when I complain. P.S. You're doing great as an admin. ^_^ -[i]Kat[/i] [i]Sara[/i]- Heh. I haven't talked to you for ages. Hurry back from Germany, doll -[i]Lady Asphy[/i] [i]Solo[/i] - We [i]need[/i] to talk more often. You're one of the best conversationalists over AIM, and you listen when I complain about my stupid teachers, and my stupid brother, and everything else. *hugs* Thank you. - [i]Rae[/i] [i]Shy[/i] - We don't seem to talk much, do we? Well, even though we don't talk much, I've always had great admiration for your writing, especially Journalism, which I simply cannot do. Keep writing. - [i]Asphy[/i] [i]James[/i] - Well, it was around the time Charles became admin that I started to talk to you -- I remember that much. It's great to talk to you, and your designs and skins are always lovely. Keep being...you. [i]Asphy[/i] [i]Lady Mac[/i] - Nope, still haven't figured out how to spell your name without copying and pasting. Good luck with you're pretty baby boy. You deserve him. Have you thought of any names yet? - [i]Asphy[/i] [i]Mnemolth[/i] - You mentioned before that I'm the only one who talks to you over AIM on a regular basis, which is odd. You may be a pain in the *** at times, but you're also witty, interesting, and funny. Besides, you know CSS and HTML. ^^ - [i]Lady Asphy[/i] [i]Ken[/i] - You're my daddy. And, well, I know that you're one of the best friends I have, and that I couldn't do some of the stuff I've tried -- like writing -- without your support. - [i]Rae[/i] [i]Tony[/i] - No, I didn't forget you the first time I was posting these things, I was limiting myself to 3 people. And now I'm just going to let it all go. You used to be engaged to me, and now you're my mother. You're so like me, it's like looking at myself every time I talk to you. Your taste in music is brilliant -- which says a lot, seeing as its almost exactly like mine. ^.~ [i]Rae[/i] [i]Ginny Lyn[/i] - You're a great, talented artist, and a wonderful person. That's all the needs to be said. ^.~ [i]Rae[/i] [i]Avaris + People from Downlands[/i] - No, I didn't forget you guys either. You guys are all talented, wonderful people, and I'm very proud of you -- all of you. I know I sound like a mother [God forbid!] but too bad. [i]Me.[/i] [i]Meh husbands and wives [and Dan, too.] -[/i] I almost forgot you, I'm sad to say. But I didn't. Thank you, very, very much for being there, and for laughing and giggling along with all our inside jokes. ^_^ [i]Rae[/i] To anyone I've forgotten, you're probably overlooked because my memory hates me, or because I don't have enough room for everyone. So really, I want to thank you for just being there, and being yourself, and all that other sentimental stuff. ^.^[i] Lady Asphyxia[/i] [/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Bishie [/i] [B]Uhh this is to Lady Asphyxia ^__^ Yeah! I have read it *cackles* thats why i put "I read somewhere" in my thread post thingie.

Don't worry about it.[/size]

[size=1]One a day Two a day Three! Perhaps four... "I'm not a junkie, I can't write. No, Not four." Keep trying And you'll improve. "But..." No buts. That's what you want; Improvement, No? "Well, I suppose." So write a day One two or more Poems! Perhaps four...[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Bishie [/i] [B]But not every life is the same as your past life, and things change and get majorly messed up to prevent you from meeting your "soulmate". You might die early, or they might die early. You may find them and they end up hating you in that life time, despite the fact that person may despise you, I'm sure there's still some attraction there ^_^ You'd both be soulmates after-all. [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]You haven't, by any chance, recently read Jude Deveraux's [u]Remembrance[/u], have you? My belief on soul mates is that there are types of people you click with. They could be the exact opposite of you, or exactly the same, depending on who you are and what your personality is like. But there are people you don't click with, and that's fine. Honestly, I believe this; nothing lasts forever. While it's nice to believe it does, it won't. And neither will soulmates. With a lot of time together, you'll discover things you dislike [i]intensely[/i] about the person -- but love is about accepting those things anyway. I'm like the [i]idea[/i] of Soulmates, but I can't believe in the reality.[/size]

[size=1]Shot. This deserves to be shot. However, I decided that something was better than nothing. [center]____[/center] Usually, a tale such as this would start with ?Once upon a time?. But those words bring expectations ? such as ?Happily ever after? ? that this story simply cannot fulfill. That said, I begin. This country of Girawen has long been subject to a corrupted feudal system. Elves sent here to protect the land have, instead, slaughtered it. They have, as in most systems such as these, taken advantage of the weak and preyed on the innocent. I am one of these Elven people. I?m not ashamed of my ability to manipulate people ? nor of my position in this world ? but I am ashamed of my actions when one considers two young Elves. They were not at all compatible, and children who would disobey their parents in the name of ?love? are certainly of no use to our world. But none-the-less, I cannot help wondering what may have happened had this course of events not happened. Ethalinia was from one of the most powerful families in Girawen, well known for it?s ability to produce great magic and heirs. Toben, however, was one of our underlings, an Elf with very little magic, but a lot of money. As has always been the case, like marries like. The rich marry the rich, the powerful marry the powerful. They do not intermix. It was unheard of. I first heard of this couple at confession. Ethalinia came to me, blessed herself, and stated in her cool, calm voice, ?Father, I am considering murdering my family in order to marry the man I love.? This statement ? while I?d never admit to such a thing openly ? did not shock me. After all, what child hasn?t wanted to kill their parent?s at one time or another? I myself have entertained such thoughts. The determination in her voice did shock me, however. Her determination was the kind of a three year old defying their parents, saying no, they did not want to go to bed, and nothing their parents could do would keep them from staying up. Of course, her determination was much more refined and aloof. I?d never attribute a woman with the qualities of a three year old. At least, not most women. There are some I know?but I?m sidetracking myself. When I asked her about the events leading up to these situations, the dam in her burst, and all of her thoughts rushed out in one great spurt, like too much water in a broken glass. ?Oh Father? she gushed in that innocent voice of hers. ?He?s simply divine.? It was then I could tell that she needed help. No marriage, appropriate or not, had survived when one of the participants involved was ?simply divine?. ?We met two nights ago, and I swear on my soul that had he not been there, I would have surely fallen to my death.? Her thoughts came out in a rushed, garbled mess, but not once did I stop and ask her to make sense. Women in love rarely, if ever, make sense. It seemed to me, that she and her ?Toben? had met at the slave racing ? one of the elves greatest and most pleasurable pastimes. Not that one was interested in the racing of the slaves, but instead in the intrigue and politics of our fellow elves. Since then, he?d been courting her with a fervor that reminded me of a stag in heat. She, of course, found it incredibly romantic, and had decided that, since her family would not allow her to marry one of the rich, she?d simply remove the obstacle. Mildly, I pointed out that, even if her family was removed, she?d still have to find a priest. That?s when she popped her head out of her side of the confessional and into mine. ?Actually,? she grinned, ?that?s what I wanted to ask you about.? Thus, I descended into a frenzy of panic ? knowing my duty, but none-the-less, not wanting to carry it out. One the day of the marriage, I began my ancient ritual, altering it slightly to achieve the desired effect. Much to my conscience?s dismay, I cast the spell that, quite simply, turned their love into a hatred that consumed them all. Every word they?d spoken. Every nickname they?d given, every action they?d made slowly consumed them. The spell systematically went through their memories, punishing them for each loving action. However, it was when the spell came to the fervered words of ?I love you? that the young couple was destroyed. And now, much to my dismay, I find myself -- one of the powerful ? besotted with a lovely woman. The only problem is ? she?s one of the rich. And I cannot help but wonder what might have happened, had I allowed Ethalinia and Toben to live. [/size]

[size=1]Greek Goddess of Victory. What medicinal uses does the herb Arnica have?[/size]

[size=1]Ow! You cut my fingers! Next time, [i]you[/i] can be the stone, and [i]I'll[/i] be King Authur.[/size]

[size=1]She loved him, before her left her But then she couldn't see the light. To dark to see, too lost to try And looking into the past. So hold her hand with all your might And glimpse a better life. She's lost, but find her Or sail your flag half-mast. A touch of glory The smile of light The day has come to save her. Build foundations; higher, higher! And help her through her anger. A kiss on the hand Tears in her eyes She'll see the smiles and praise Out of the abyss; rising, rising! With help along the way.[/size]

[size=1]Buried alive -- no will to survive She'll twist and turn Her fate draws closer -- they're going to lose her And nobody sees her tears. Sobs in the corner -- Little Jack Horner Doesn't get his pudding pie Comforting shoulder -- no need to hold her But what a good girl am I? Dying slowly -- Causes? Lonely Afraid to say a thing Lend me a hand -- stuck in quicksand For I'll not say a word.[/size]

[size=1]I know I said I'd post in your Poem Thread, but you know how much I prefer Prose to Poetry. I like it -- the Mickey Mouse phone, the reactions, and everything else. I know it isn't much, but I'd rather just look at it from a distance, instead of delving, at least today. [[color=white]Ginny, we love you.[/color]][/size]
