To be honest, I broke my previous site (even if I still keep the domain) because of messing with the php files. I will never again try to mix wordpress with phpBB forums through the php files, utter fail (not that it was for myself, but I couldnt undo the damage).
Now I got a new local hosting (half the previous price), www.1984.is and got my site up. Im planing on posing my posts from there, which will be cross-posted to livejournal, and hopefully the comment-import plugin works, then I wont be missing any comments.
Lets see how this goes.
I know that I've been away from anything that is online-social, it just happens from time to time since I sadly have no close friends... my MSN messanger utterly died (maybe because the fact that the email I use doesnt exist at the moment), my laptop utterly died on monday, refusing to turn on (no, its not out of battery), so many projects I need to be handing in this week that I have barely formed, with that comes slight stress, but I dont stress much ever, I avoid it! my utter fail moments.
I counted 12 raves on my way home, my step-sister just named her baby girl this weekend, Eygló Hera Illhugadóttir. The cute couple share a brother, which seems strange, it would be incest, but they arent blood related. She and her brother share a father, He and his brother share a mother. But thinking of the brother, his sister and brother just had a kid together XD
If I were to have a kid on my 25 year, then Me, my mom and my kid would all be rabbits in the Chinese horoscope!
And yesterday I saw a raven have a hard time flying, yet managing. Most of it's flight feathers were tattered and torn on his right wing.
but yeah... I aint utterly dead, I just been avoiding all things and being distracted.
Happy new year!
The 2009 ending-song. I rought translated the song just for fun.
Páll Óskar is awesome at times! heh. Cleaning out the Icelandic goverment.
Super Screens and Super Groups!
Now I've done it, I made a group on deviantART called Icelandic-deviants, for Icelanders on deviantART, barely week old and its already rounded nearly 100 members. We are trying to get some subscription for the group, so it'll be more awesome and easy to handle and organize the folders. A older club called Skapamjöður joined into the group and is now co-managing it with me in a way. I would love to see this group become a active place with regular activity, Skapamjodur holds these 'Weekly Sketch Group', and we might have some art contests and stuff. Would love to gather some people that might handle the 'news' from the local art-life, since I myself aint very into it. This Group will be for the artists and members, but not a Group about Iceland itself, dont get it confused, we in the Icelandic-deviants live there and know what's going on, and lately it hasnt been very special (banks, money and being poor). But as they say, when the times get harder, art gets wilder (lots of creative and inspiring things in the past prove that fact).
Then there is this website called www.icelandfurs.is that is going to open sooner than later, at least the plan was for christmas, but I just aim at before January. Im co-managing things, because the poor bugger might have the enthusiasm and eagerness needed, but lacks the organizing part and planning, though Im not saying Im the best for the job, Im better than none, and maybe we'll have someone who knows his way through PHP so we wont break the site just yet. The plan is to have it a phpBB forum, as well as a wordpress blog (fused together with WP-United so only one login would be needed) and lets maybe shove Gallery2 into it. I do hope this site will become more lively than less, and having those extra features might make it more fun.
And it was my boyfriend's birthday this sunday, I had to work but he had his friends over (some have never come to this house since we moved, and another had moved out of the country, just visiting over the holidays). But yesterday he bothered to buy himself a birthday/christmas present. Its a BenQ Monitor, so he can use it both with the desktop computer and his playstation3 (he'll never leave the room anymore). Its awesome, the contrast is amazing! and its 24" or something, so its equal to a TV without inbuilt speakers (at least it has a plug for sound, but it stands out on the side, easy to ignore, but makes the design a bit less awesome). The image is better than on his mom's big flat-screen TV in the living-room (which is like double the size or half).
And we got a new bed the week before, a birthday present from his dad, its awesome, so much better than the Ikea bed we had before (he sold it cheap to some guy at his work). I like the room so much right now, and dont think we'll be moving anywhere the next few years, specially since he's being a sweetheart by helping me out with my car-loan, using what we've already collected to pay into the loan, it'll be less to pay each month for me (so I can handle paying it even if Im at school and a part-time job), I have no clue where I would be today if I didnt have him, I had a laptop-loan and a house-loan my parents mangaged to get me into (which doesnt seem fair to me now, ruined my 'first time house-loan' deal people can get when buying their first house). Money is a bother, and a failing system, but ya still have to follow it.
I have thought about it for quite a few years, to change my real name to MyraMidnight! just joking, but still, I have considered changing my name, adding my mom's family name to mine (since it aint normal here to have 'family names', your laste name is always your dad's first name).
So Id go from being Stefania Reynis-(daughter), to... Stefania R. Michelsen.
Ugh... I want the R to stay there.. but it looks weird as Stefania Reynis(daughter) Michelsen, and awfully long. And if I would use it I would get the same problems as well, locals misspelling it. We dont use C, it sounds just like K when we read it, so some just write Mikkelsen (double because it sounds long).
But the yayness... now just to do it... DO IT!
and to make filters. I love orginizing stuff XD now I will orginize people into dragons, art, spam and funnies. Heh! or something along those lines. Its not like I post alot, but sometimes I end up posting ALOT when I have alot to say. If I cant write it at the same moment as I think of it, I usually end up writing nothing at all, 'cause I forget simple things as I get easily distracted by new things to do.
Got an e-mail once about a kid's name that no one could pronounce right, it made the mom go nuts. How would you pronounce Le-a. I'll give ya a sketch if ya can guess right!
Is it an earthquake? shaky hands?
I have waved it 'bout that I have good vision on one eye, over 100% infact by the doctors machines. Though having some -12,7 on my left eye (making me legally blind, yet I dont need glasses and it doesnt hinder me at all), I aint blind, I can see things moving, colors and shapes, though totally ignoring that eye as a source of vision.
My mom always told me to be careful, 'cause having only one good eye and none to spare. But the other day I experienced something odd, at first I thought it was just my hand being that cold that it shook the laptop as a I wrote (it was on this book-chair), so I put it on my lap to steady it, but it still shook, even when I wasnt typing, the text all shaky. Then I looked around, and ya know what? those things were shaky too. After a moment I felt like I was spinning, specially when I closed my eyes.
so odd...
A blender, and old habits.
I want that DEATH! well, the collection edition that fits nicely with my SANDMAN collection of big ass bound books. I want a blender so I can make smoothies. I want a sandwich grill, and a new big pan (oh gosh, buying a good set of pots and pans is nearly as expensive as buying a car, its an investment), I want noodles and tasty food, I want to have the christmasy feeling, eating food ya only taste at christmas, malt and orange-soda bland! Christmas decorations and a LIVE tree (which might get annoyingly messy up the stairs on the top floor). Im sad enough to want real friends, I want surprises. I want to be hyper and have fun. I want to steal his remote to play Assassins Creed2, I wish I could attend cons as much as ya Americans (I is stuck on a island between both big mainlands), I want to be rich and have people want my art (I love doing freebies and cheap commissions, because I dont know how to be expensive).... I want to remember what I want, not only just when I want it. Oh, I want prisma markers, or any such awesome markers (ya just cant find them in a store in Iceland)
2 year anniversary!
Not that I was the one counting. My luv is so sweet, when I got home from school today there were red roses on the bed with a bag of small gifts (may have been cheap, but darn cute): liqurice (my fav candy), purple socks (fav color), USB light and a sweet card with it all.
Oh gosh, its so easy to surprise me at times. [goes all giggle-squee]
On the artistic side of things.
I've joined the gang at FurryMUCK (furry.com), a virtual RolePlay hangout or something, its full of fun people. There is a fun comic attached to it, called the West Corner of the Park, which covers some of the most random moments on that park as far as I can tell, and some jokes are best experienced once you've been on the Muck yourself. You can find furries, dragon and even elves and humans on there.
And the awesome Rabbi Tom of the corner park drew a picture of me X3 about to beat up a fox, I almost get the image that the park is infested with cartoony foxes when I read the comic, even on the first day I went onto the Muck I saw the scene in motion right before my virtual eyes, it was nearly too cartoony for me to handle, casual fox pummeling and such?
And talking about characters and such (though Myra aint really a character to me, more a part of me), I have noticed that I like drawing Myra without wings as an anhtro, and its starting to rub onto her feral shape as well. Yet it feels weird to draw her without wings because it has grown on me. But to be honest to myself, Im more of the ground type, and never feel the need for flight, the wings are starting to feel like decorations, but maybe thats the progress of self-discovery, filtering out the details through feeling, because as an otherkin, I have no memories or phantom limbs, astral-projections, extra senses or such fancy side-packages that many otherkin experience, I wonder if its the majority, or just the main subject when people talk about otherkin/therians. I know Im a dragon at heart, and all those talks and descussions will not make me falter from it. I might not be the typical otherkin, and I may not be a furry as such, but Myra GREW within me through the years, like a self image that only the pen can show. If I try to make sense of memories and such, I feel like Im making things up, sure it would be as a nice character background, but Myra aint a 'character' as such. If I give her background, I use my experiences of the virtual world, because I live in the now.
Oh, and I love my Livejournal gallery space I get for being subscribed, so spacious that I'll never manage to fill it up. If it had a better sorting options (like adding dates, besides for the details it can pick up from photos sometimes) I would love it more. I try to keep it organized, and its an awesome features that even if you move the pictures alot, and have them in multiple folders/galleries, the link of 'em never changes, you''ll always be able to find them. Having so many folders is a drag when going through the dropdown menu of what folder to move the picture. But at least you can upload straight to each gallery and such. Yay!
I might be messy at times, but at the same time I love organizing things as much as I can. Both for myself as well as others.
For me
