The Dragon's Infinity Circle

This is for my public readers. I have locked this entry so sorry, no, you cannot comment on this. I had someone just advertise on the entry before this. I'm fucking tired of this shit. I really am. From now on if any fucking advertiser decides to drop a comment on my journal entries that isn't involving my post...your getting deleted, blocked and REPORTED! So fuck off Assholes!

-----

So information from my recent entry:

Recently I've been getting emails from Live Journal about comments on my journal entries. I discovered that all the comments lately have been advertisements. I'm very tired of this shit. I've begun to delete old entries, lock commenting and on my fanfiction entries I have put up a warning.

I seriously want this nonsense of advertisement comments to STOP! I know I can stop them if I stick to friends only on my journal preferences however I didn't want to limit my audiences from my fanfictions or certain entries.

I hope my efforts to lock journal entries, at least old ones, will prevent and discourage this annoying advertiser comments.

------

I am NOT a conduit to promote, use or distribute your crappy products. I don't fucking care about your knock off purses, viagra pills, health food products or whatever else shit your selling.

I've tried being nice but obviously that isn't working. So here's the deal with this shit. Its locked so you can't comment advertisers. Enjoy!

Certainly been awhile since I've posted here. So many things have happened all of them interesting in their own right...but worthy of typing up? Pah no. I suppose if anything is worth writing about it would be my absolute resolve being come undone by my two good friends in Maryland. I swore up and down that I would never play World of Warcraft.

I've heard of people forgetting to eat, lacking sleep, barely showering even using a cup to pee in all in the effort so they can play wow. I was determined never to do that hence never playing...

My friends were playing apparently because Guild Wars lost the appeal. So reluctantly I tried a trial account and liked it. I hated that I liked it. So I bought a subscription and I became instantly frustrated I wanted a Blood Elf...My friends were all alliance but originally I had chosen to join the horde. Just because I've playing Chaotic good characters and a few Chaotic evil characters on various games.

I didn't understand the intense feelings people get playing one faction versus the other. I thought it silly. If we can manage to marry other people from other races and have them live in our country then surely in a game horde and alliance can get along?

Apparently you can't really communicate between factions and also there is a limited number of actions you can use to express what you want to relay to the other faction as well.

Then after questing I ended up buying the next two expansions and by that time I was sadly hooked. I found myself at times playing the entire day. Its tempting to stay up late to play too. But I have to force myself some days to stop.

I ended up with almost all my slots filled on 'Emerald Dream' realm.

Let's see my first impression when I chose Horde was to go with the undead but when my friends said alliance I looked through the classes and races. I decided nope...don't like Knomes or Dwarfs. I'm already short in real life...true I'm concentrated awesomeness...I know there goes that ego coming out...but still any chance to get a little extra height is always appealing.

So I looked at what I had left. Night elves or humans? I was disappointed. Where was the werewolves? Where was the Cat hybrid people?

I sighed. Ultimately I would have chosen a necromancer, vampire and/or a combination of both. Not because of anything to do with 'emo'. God I hate that word. I emphatically hate whoever coined the term and I hate people for calling things emo just because they think it is.

Anyways I digress. So without much of a choice I looked at the Night Elves. I use to go for the fantasy characters after all its a game...why not? But then I started looking at the humans. Well they weren't so bad. Noble almost I suppose.

So I gave up pretenses of ever wanting to 'fit' in with every other groupie that picks Night Elves. So I chose my race as human. From there I looked at the classes. Well Death Knight would certainly be what I wanted but at the time I'd started I'd only had the first game. So Death Knight was out. Also you have to already have a level 55 character before you can chose Death Knight.

Sighing with annoyance I looked at the other classes. Mage yup typically I'd chose something magical...but i was tired of doing the same old thing. So what else? Warlock? Bleh...they didn't seem very appealing to me. Demons is not the same as the undead. Sigh...

Ok so what else? Well that left an Archer or in this case hunter, warrior, paladin and priest or rogue. Well hunter and rogue sound fun. So I decided later I'd create one of those. But priest hell no. I ain't sitting there all day healing people and getting yelled at when I fail to heal someone and they die.

So nope no priest. After all I was just saying earlier about always looking for being a necro...certainly not saintly there. lol

So it left paladin and warrior. Well I already decided to create a rogue and a hunter. No problem chose one of those. But I clicked on paladin. Hm...interesting...saintly and warrior like. Like Joan of Arc. Or Joscelin from Kushiel's Legacy series. I could totally dig that but...people again would expect healing no thanks.

That left Warrior...why...they are the butt end of every joke out there. Blindly running into battle and getting mowed down. But the rage...beserker...fury...arms...I don't know...I tried warrior once on Guild Wars and hated it.

But I decided okay I'll try it. Its the one thing I always detested and I was gunna try it. But for a name? What name? Crap...

So I researched on wikipedia...I looked through my favorite author's books. In the end I chose a name I had used once...Sindra. But darn it was taken so I thought okay I can fix that. Sindran.

That would be the name I'd be stuck with. I was happy. So I went with warrior. Now she is almost level 80 and I still am happy with my choice to make her my main.

Later on I made a rogue and then I decided after the expansions to make a blood elf rogue. Why not? I wanted the Black Tabby cat you can steal off the guy where Dalaran use to be. lol

I chose a Draenei for a Mage and I ended up making a warlock which I detest. I wish I could say I liked her but...I don't know...she's just annoying to me.

Then came the decision okay it was time for a hunter. Reluctantly I clicked on night elf. I also created another character a night elf druid which I playing maybe a handful of times and she just sat there on my slots taking up space.

I also ended up getting a Worgen druid once the new expansion came out. My night elf druid became my bank alt.

So thus my addiction to Wow began.

The good idea would be to set a timer when you play. I swear I can see why people become so addicted. Its just fun. I discovered role playing in the game. A lot of people say nasty things about rpers but I love to write and so the thought of seeing my story unfold as I played was really appealing. Hence my bank alt became my rper alt. lol

Essentially there is more to my day as I now work and I do have friends who don't play wow. But when I'm not working and got nothing better to do...I play wow.

All things in moderation my friends.

So after a long stint...I return with news. I've had toe surgery. Back in 2006 on PCC campus in Cali I fell off a metal box while talking to a friend and I walked on my toe for two hours before heading to medical. Turns out I had a hairline fracture. So there wasn't much that could be done for it. Basically I just had to stay off and ice it. I was on crutches for about a month.

Ever since the incident I have not noticed much of a problem. Except when I would run too much it would ache. Recently I took an exercise class. Which required a lot of movement of my feet...I began to notice pain in my toe. And eventually it would hurt so bad I'd have to put icy hot on it and take motrin before class.

Soon after I quit the class from too much pain...I discovered that when I would run or even walk too much it would ache. And then it began to hurt whenever I would take a hot shower and it would hurt when I wore heels even for as little as 20 minutes. It began to hurt at almost anytime I moved or did anything.

I finally was referred out to a podiatrist who examined it and took x-rays. He said that the bunion was formed from injury and from wearing narrow shoes too much. He said that my choice was to have surgery because the pain was preventing me from exercising.

The surgery would involve cutting or shaving the bunion. He gave me consulation in which I was told he would also be breaking the bone to straighten my toe and putting two wires in or rods to support it while it heals. The surgery went well and I was sent home with Vicodin (7.5 mg) The first few days were the worst and I had to start taking two IBs with one vicodin.

I couldn't believe the amount of pain I was under. It was just intense. It was a broken bone after all. The swelling was intense and then it began to turn black blue and yellow and green. It was nasty. I remember him saying something about stitches.

Eventually I came in and he removed the stitches which hurt immensly and then he said surgery set for a week from today. I asked surgery for what? He said to remove those rods. I couldn't believe my ears and ended up with those being removed.

Then the stitches for the site where the rods had been removed also came out. Now I am currently walking I am happy to say (though progress to walk normally is slow) and I can drive and talk a regular shower. In the beginning I could only have my husband wipe me down and I was on crutches for the longest time.

I am so glad to be off crutches but I also am now aware of my toe's aches and pains once again. I have to be very careful with it.

Toe surgery was necessary but I don't think I ever want to go through that again!

I have been just taking it one day at a time. My newest change in addition to the surgery is I now have an iMac. I have almost completely switched to Mac. It makes sense to switch to mac because I am a graphic designer.

I suppose that's all I have to say. I know I'm backlogged on fanfiction and art but honestly I just do them because its fun so if its not fun I stop doing it.

Its that time of the month again. Where I start getting excited and go all out for a costume. For awhile after high school I stopped bothering with costumes because I just didn't have anyone to hang out with and trick or treating was rather embarrassing to me. Then I got married and moved to Maryland where for the first time I had a reason. Halloween has always been one of the favorites. Christmas, St. Patrick's Day and my birthday are other fun days too.  But Halloween has been extra special for me because I can dress up and be anything I want to be for a day. I can go all out with funky hair pieces and jewelry and Halloween shirts and it would be acceptable.

That first year the possibilities were endless what could I be??? I knew I liked Gothic themes as I've always been a closet freak when it comes to bdsm tendencies and Gothic undertones so I immediately thought of being a Vampire. I remember as a kid wanting to be a Vampire but my mother would not allow it. I had always gotten pissed off at her for not letting me so I thought about buying a costume. The cost it would take for my ideal costume would probably end up 200 down just because I wanted real contacts and the genuine looking fangs plus a really nice costume. I realized this was unrealistic considering my financial situation.

So I decided on designing my own costume. I ended up buying a black mini skirt, a black tank top, a black cape and a few additions to spice it up.  I wasn't totally satisfied with the resulting costume. So the next year I vowed I would buy one of those sexy costumes offered from spirit halloween or buycostumes.com .  Last year I decided I wanted to be a cat...a pretty cat. So I bought this really cool costume from the fair last year.

Check it out: http://www.yandy.com/Purrfectly-Kitty.php

I loved last year and I loved my costume. This year I could have worn the same thing but I wanted to try something different so I landed with four different costumes I wanted: A Sex Therapist costume always a good one but I felt it was a little expensive. A prep school girl costume which is always a good one but I found I didn't have enough frontal for the costume. Sadly lol.

My fourth idea was a sailor girl costume but I didn't find any I liked. The last one was A Burlesque type costume. I loved the Burlesque but I didn't want to spend too much. So I found finally a Sailor girl costume that I liked and fit well.

Check it out: http://www.spirithalloween.com/product/sexy-sailor-46/

I'm totally excited about this year's Halloween hopefully I will have a party to go to... heh

Hey all,

Thought I'd drop a line and update on what is up with me. I apologize for the lack of articles. I just simple haven't had enough time. Also um...hehe...video gaming doesn't help! lol

Well my pulled muscle is better but now I'm having allergies! It just never ends! bleh I am now seeing an allergist to determine why I am having allergy problems. I've had allergies like this since high school. It appears it might be dust mites and two types of weeds so far are responsible but I won't know for sure until I go back for more in depth testing.

I'm working on my online classes and I just finished playing F.E.A.R. 2! I played it in like two days. It was really good except it left me wanting more. I swear I love Beckett way more than Point Man. I don't want to play as Point man again or if I do then I want it to be a splice between playing as the Point Man and as Beckett. I dunno I just thought Beckett was more humanized to me than Point Man was.

Point man was kind of ignored and he doesn't even have a name, although I could be forgetting details since it's been so long since I've played F.E.A.R. 1.

Other news?  I'm playing Crysis right now.  There really isn't much to say except I'm doing good and I'm trying not to play video games too much so I can catch up to homework and fanfiction. lol

Hope everybody is doing okay!

Whew...long time?

Well first and foremost if anybody still reads this thing I'm doing good. I'm in school well online classes but still they are keeping me pretty busy. Lately I barely have time for anything except homework. I discovered I'm missing a math class and I should probably take four lower division English classes before I can transfer to CSU Channel Islands. I'm sad that I have to wait till 2010 but what can I do but wait?

So in the mean time I'm gearing up for summer classes and I'm just trying to maintain the house while doing homework. Nope haven't found a job but is it any surprise with the economy the way it is?

I've been posting photography to dA for the past couple of days. As for my fanfiction its on hold because of school work. I'm really far behind the only reason I'm even posting this entry is because I don't want to loose my account obviously and also because I needed a break from the work.

So present goals?  Not that it really matters to the occasional reader but what the heck why not write about it? Anyways I'm trying to get into shape but I'm finding just getting the energy to go out the door is hard enough. Also it doesn't help that I pulled my left shoulder/upper back and neck muscle. I ended up on Aleve, Vicodin and Soma (Muscle Relaxant). Interestingly enough I've learned I'm allergic to the Aleve so that's off the list but I can take Motrin.

But aside from the pulled muscle I'm doing okay. I haven't been working on my novel because again homework comes first. However I have somehow found the time to invest in taking macro photographs with my Nikon 5.1 coolpixs. I've been making wallpapers with the macro flower pics and doing a few other things with them. So far I'm feeling good.

I don't know if I mentioned it yet in my journaling but my father passed away December 14th of 08. It wasn't that long ago but its well enough away that I can kind of talk about it and not break down. It was really hard to see his mental state and health decline. It was especially hard to see my mother break down because she couldn't handle having to put him in a retirement home. In an ideal situation though there is any ideal situation with Dementia...he would have stayed home but he had taken to beating her with his fists and then he moved to threatening to stab her with knives.

His condition was speculated that he'd had dementia for far longer than we had known by the time we found out it was what he had it was already far into the disease. He died of air bubbles in his lungs and a congestive heart problem that we had never known about.

Part of me is still very sad but another part is relieved because he is no longer suffering. I miss him so much but I knew he didn't want to be in hospitals and retirement homes. He wasn't the type to take to it kindly at all.

So that's my updates for so far. On the bright side I'm keeping busy and it looks like I will be getting a desktop computer soon. I've decided to build it with my husband's help. Once its done I'll post pictures on it on my dA account and provide a link for those too lazy to seek my name out on dA. lol

Lest I forget some kinky news?

Last piece of news I swear...I'm back on Guild Wars and it feels good to finally have a full set of armor that matches and looks good. Its Sunspear armor and dyed all white. I really like the necromancer sunspear armor. I also like a few other armors but I mostly spent my money on the dye so I didn't mind. I will probably change armor later on to something a bit more showy say from eofn but until then I'm very happy with my armor.

I hope everybody is doing well and stay safe!

I have finally posted an original short story at a fairly decent writer's website. I ended up posting several of my poetry and haiku's to the website as well.


The Short story is 'Jane, My Dominatrix'. It is about a college student named Jane who learns a lesson in appearances are deceiving. She also gets a slight introduction to BDSM by an unlikely source.


The website is:  http://www.writerscafe.org/writers/ladyvalmar/

Please if you do read I would very much like a review or just your thoughts. You can join the website to comment or just leave a comment here! :D

Thanks to all who read and comment!

I'm OutRAGED!

It has recently come to my attention that MGM, SCI-FI and the producers of my ultimate favorite show "Stargate Atlantis" have decided to cancel the show in lieu of the stupid spin-off called Stargate Universe.

 Help rally support to show to these big wigs that we don't want a  side bar, we don't want movies we want more Seasons of Stargate Atlantis!!!

 http://www.sosga.net/news/mission.html

http://save-thelostcity.com/

 These are just two of many websites dedicated to saving our beloved show!

 September 12th as it says on the bottom website is the last and final day of shooting! If you can get to Vancouver and protest outside of Bridge Studios DO IT! I would but I don't have a passport yet! SIGH!!!!!  If you already live there and enjoy this show as much as me GO FOR IT!

 The only reaspon I watched the Sci-fi channel in the first place was for Farscape then Firefly and now Stargate Atlantis. I refuse to be bought off by a spin off that will not include those main characters we love and enjoy so much on Stargate Atlantis. I was fine when S.g.1 finally went. It was time and they gave us plenty of stuff in return for a fan base.

 But with SGA we aren't getting what we want. Why not leave the show running? Its gotten several awards and clearly there is a huge loyal fan base. MGM, Sci-Fi and the producers are screwing themselves over if they think we will accept a new show in place of SGA.

My Vlog:  <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q-aYCZtxhY8"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q-aYCZtxhY8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object>

 Unless they get their act together. I am tempted to boycott SCI-FI channel for now!

 SAVE STARGATE ATLANTIS!

Wow I've really neglected my live journal. I really didn't intend to do so but things have a way of ending up too busy for me to catch up. My poor fanfiction is totally suffering, my book is doing okay but could be better sigh...

I've been seriously super busy. It looks like I won't be getting to fanfiction, my novel or any of my blogs/journals until next week and even then I'm not sure. There is just wayyyy tooooo much to do but then that's probably a good thing considering how if I sit still for too long I start getting all depressed and sad. Anyways just wanted to drop by to say I'm alive, breathing, super busy.
