that sucks Shiny,
but not everyone is mature at 25. thing is, I could have been case 2 at that age, I was a whiny, insecure, immature boy at that age, I guess I have become a confident, happy and reasonable man at the end of my tweenties.
strange thing: most of my best and closest friendships where formed at that insecure time

...I'll never understand humans. Half the time I feel like an anthropologist on an alien planet.
On the bright side, if I ever get drafted by proteans, I'll put in a good word for your conversion (and Orthos and T Stewart too, of course).

Always nice to see another FFriday critter. :) It'll also be nice when that big chunk of [REDACTED] Kickstarter work you just completed, Rawr, is released.

Do you still take requests/suggestions for FFs or are you good up on inspirations for now?
Thanks and I look forward to seeing your blogposts!
I'm always open for requests, so fire away. :)
+1 for more Orthos' and Rawr! blog updates.

Request sent =) The hard part was picking from my huge folders full of pictures I have set aside for inspiration for this kind of thing.
Horizon Walking should be picking up in a few days =D Now that I'm done with overtime, being sick, and freelancing for the moment. Think it's time to article up on Dwarves, if I recall correctly.
In other news, going shopping for steak in a couple of hours for Mother's Day dinner. Gonna grill at home rather than fight the crowds.

I have a great love for short stories, and anthologies in particular. I LOVE Thieves World, Sword and Sorceress, Dragonlance and even the occasional Forgotten Realms(!!!!) anthology. I just love short stories that much.

Oh I don't mind reading them. (Though I still prefer novels and longer series for reading also... hence my love for Dresden Files, Dhampir, Dark Tower, Vorkosigan, October Daye, Discworld, almost anything by Brandon Sanderson, etc. etc. etc...) But I know I could never write one without it growing much, much larger than that.

lol a brevitous reaction to Alanis' caterwauling that I guess reads as psychopatic.

You must be very short dwarven pirate because, if I recall correctly, Scint isn't tall herself.

Heh yes I'm aware. It just seemed the appropriate response.

I'm pretty sure he's calling you short. I, of course, would never do such a thing because I am pretending to be a gentleman.

Huh? Strange, I thought that I heard someone's angry screams but I can't see anyone...
Damn, mosquitoes! One must have bitten my ankle!

Yesterday was a pretty decent day. Nice weather. Went with my brother, nephew, niece and some of the nephew's friends to see the newish Captain America movie. It was pretty awesome.
Afterwards we did a crawfish boil over at my brother's house. 97 lbs of boiled goodness! Mmmmmm....
Last night, after the kids were in bed, I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark.

God in heaven, where are my manners!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOMS(AND MOM LIKE PEOPLE) BOTH IN AND OUT OF THIS THREAD!!!
The outpouring of support I have received speaks to the wonderful parentage(or parent like upbringing) everyone has received. Thanks again.
And a very special happy mother's day to Sabine/Mrs. Aeglos in her first mother's day, and to Mrs. Aberzombie for her latest addition.

ARgh, my back hurts
while clearing out the dish washer I had a sudden, sharp stining pain in my lower back. now I can barely move
and , seriously English Language? you do not have a word for that almost iconic sensation?
dicct.cc sugested "lower back pain" as trasnlation for the beautiful German word:
Hexenschuß - witches shot - a sudden sharp stinging pain in your lower back

Aeglos, you've had an affect on my mothers day.
Last year my mom wanted to go to a biergarten to try an old beer she couldnt find anywhere called dinkelacker. She wore her blue little old lady dress to the place we went to in hipster hell, where we got a nice discount because everyone thought the old lady celebrating mothers day by going out to a bar with her son and drinking and eating sausage was so cool it was awesome. Unfortunately this place we went to did not have dinkelacker, and she was mildly disappointed.
Fast forward to one year later, where I am not able to get a reservation at the restaurant I wanted to take my mom to so I was forced to go with my second choice. We get out of the train station at a particular exit and lo and behold we are at another biergarten! I jokingly suggest we see if they have her beer and as we are quite early for the other place, which doesn't open for another half hour, we decide we have nothing to lose.
We discover they have dinkelacker.
The reservations for the other place are immediately scrapped, and we celebrate mother's day in a new hipstery joint where my mom is now on her third beer and I am enjoying my second bratwurst with spicy mustard.
It may be the alcohol talking but LONG LIVE MOTHER'S DAY! !!!!!!
