ha, i've been doing the same thing red. xD. i'm doing a drawing tutorial that was requested for facial expressions later today.

[Kelleo]

Ooh, I've done drawing tutorials before. I did one for horses and I started a series for armor. But I never continued that series. I just lost the motivation. xP

I love designing armor for my medieval characters, though. And this works great because of my love for the Fire Emblem series, which is medieval. :D

Hmm, seems like my sig banner may need some work. Anyways, I'm happy to have carried an image map feature to it :D. Hope y'all like it!

Now I'm formulating stuff fortwo fics. Both take place in the real world, but also have Pokémon. It's in no way a crossover, but I guess you could say both are a cross between Pokémon and real life :P. Whatever floats your boat.

[ectoBiologist]

that sounds really cool, red! :D. that sounds like an awesome idea. i kind of like stuff like that.

Back from Portugal, guys. What did I miss? (I'm bound to trawl through everything later but still.)
If anyone cares I'll ramble about Portugal but for now I'm hanging out on skype and little else. Exhausted from travelling at 5am, don'tchaknow.

[Kelleo]

Me being sick, pretty much. But I feel a lot better now. Throat is still a bit messed up, but for the most part, its all healed up after that fall in the living room. :D

[ectoBiologist]

ah, i was going to leave on a flight to new york today but the flight was cancelled due to weather. going tomorrow instead. :U i'll be gone for a week by the way.

oh and i have a new story idea ;D.

[Tophat Dragoneye]

Good to know that you're feeling better now, Kelleo. And Lady Lucifer, speaking of weather, you think you can take some of our current weather? It's sunny and extremely hot right now and with not a single cloud in sight. I don't mind giving away some of it because of the heat. :P

Even my desktop doesn't seem to be able to take the heat very well, because it refuses to start up :(

At least there's the Olympic Opening Ceremony tonight and Pokémon Conquest (which will arrive today after I pre-ordered it) to keep me entertained. Anyone else going to watch the opening Ceremony?

::waves US flag:: Go Team USA!!!

[Kelleo]

Thanks, Tophat. And I wouldn't mind taking it. We've had so much rain lately. Today is the first sunny day in like over a week. xP

And Lady Lucifer, at least that isn't as bad as some of the problems I've had in airports, trust me. Here are several:

- Missing my plane because of heavy traffic (which was due to a highway being closed)
- Missing it again the next day because we couldn't get seats
- Having to sit on a grounded plane for like three hours after take-off kept getting delayed
- Sitting at my gate for thee hours due to a three hour layover (I had a connecting flight from another area), only to have my plane delayed another half hour because of mechanical problems
- Having half our luggage get left behind in Philadelphia (I actually got both my bags, but my grandma only got one of hers (the one that DIDN'T have her clothes, no less) and my stepbrother got neither of his)
- Having my bag get lost and waiting at the airport to get it back

There was also the time that a flight we were taking got canceled, but that actually turned out to be a good thing because we then landed a shorter flight. Pun intended. lol

Worst thing to happen to me in an airport...

I went to the toilet. Walked around to make sure I found a clean toilet. Found one that looked particularly clean. Sat down, but then it occurred to me that I should check that there's toilet paper to avoid an embarrassing situation. Good news - there was toilet paper. Bad news - it had a large blob of a clear/white gooey substance on it. Decided to hold it for the 10 hour flight until I was back home in London.

Looks like you DID get at least one sunny day, @Kelleo;, because tomorrow, it's going to be raining all day, with thunder and lightning included over here. I don't mind rain, but lightning is a different story XD

You sure had your share of problems with airports, I must say.

That... is bad. And wait, you held it in 10 hours or have I misunderstood something?

As for me, I've never been to an airport or flying on an air plane because of my fear of heights. I prefer to stand on solid ground (boats are an exception, I don't mind being in one) than sitting in an air plane several thousands meters in the air.

Now for something more relevant to the Writer's Workshop. I've decided to discontinue, for the time being, my fanfic, Irasshaimase Pokémon World!, simply because I don't have the motivation for it at the moment. Instead I'm gonna focus on a new one called

Pokémon Online (not to be confused with the real Pokémon Online (the battle simulator or the work-in-progress MMORPG))

[Kelleo]

Yup, sure have, Tophat. I've traveled a lot in the past though. I'd like to keep traveling too, cause I enjoy it, despite the issues lol.

[LightningTopaz]

I love to travel too--I've either visited, lived in, or passed through most of the Southern US.

My dream is to go back to Orlando, Florida; and see the new Fantasyland at Disney World

[Kelleo]

I want to visit amusement parks around the country. I just love them! I've only been to one so far that I didn't like and it was a small park in Germany.
