The Dragon's Infinity Circle

Since I wasn't really sure where to go with this entry because of all the shit that has happened in the past two months I thought I'd try LJ's writer's block topic again.

I purchased two pieces to my husband's wing warrior aircraft. If you don't know what that is here is the website explaining all about this things.

http://www.shallowsky.com/planes/combatwings/

My husband currently does not do dog fighting. He just flies his one wing. When I can get a picture of the aircraft I'll post it. So he has the part and is using it. Yeah I know kind of lame I didn't wait but he wanted to fly right away and I didn't want to make him wait.

It wasn't hard figuring out what to get him. He decided to get back into building electric wings and so all I had to do was ask him what part did he still need and buy it for him. That easy. Originally I had no clue what to get him. He is kind of picky but then so am I with electronics. Heh.

Buying for a geek can be trouble seriously! Get the wrong thing ouch! But if you just pay attention and take the opportunity when it knocks no problem! If all esle fails gift card!!! Or cash in a red envelope! (Tell them its good luck money gift or something)!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Off the topic of buying for my favorite geek (my hubbie):

I already know what he has got for me: Guess purse (leather the one I wanted), an actual cell phone and cell phone plan instead of prepaid and hopefully he'll get my black pea coat that I wanted.

I really want just a basic black pea coat to keep me warm during winter and go with my shirts and outfits. I'm so sick of my like heavy duty jackets or having super light jackets that don't do much when its 50 degrees outside.

To be honest I miss the real weather I had in Maryland. Those heavy duty jackets were needed badly and I miss the snow sooo bad!!! I hate California. I've lived here all my life well up until I had a stint in MD for about a year and a half. That stint however let me experience real weather and people with different views other than California rude ppl everywhere!

Now I want to move away from California, away from the annoying rude people who think just because they immigrated here they deserve whatever they want and we should give it to them. Its just maddening. Of course not everybody is like that but still its prevalent and don't get me started on the smog, crazy drivers and lack of real weather. Ugh!!

California can go suck it. I'd trade my surfing for snow boarding and snow angels any day. Maybe I'm just weird like that. lol

Well as much I've been avoiding it, my father-in-law passed a week before Halloween. He was 65 years old and a Vietnam Veteran. He died from Agent Orange which caused Diabetes and eventually his death. He will be missed greatly. The funeral was unfornately on Halloween so I didn't get to wear my costume or drink or do anything I would have loved to do. November I did little online and that was why I was away. I was struggling to get myself together.

I am currently trying to keep busy. Its almost ironic that my father passed december of last year and then this year my husband's father passed in October.

Some other things...I've got a job selling makeup. I'm registered finally at CSU Channel Islands for my BA in English. Whoo hoo! I got a phone like I said...its the HTC Hero. I wanted the Palm Pre or the iPhone but my husband had the Pre and it gave him nothing but hardware problems. We were gunna go with the iPhone but we have good standing with Sprint so we got the Hero instead. I love my phone. Sure its no iPhone but it does great for what I want it to do.

Lastly, I have been on a cleaning spree. I've been going through the house and cleaning up messes, tossing old clothes, vacumming, doing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning ionic pros, scrubbing, and more. I'm thoroughly wrapped up in cleaning galore. Why? It keeps me busy so I can't think about those I've lost as much, can't dwell on my depression and I feel good when I see a mess that has been there for like 6 months suddenly disappear and there is space!

So that's all the news for now. I'm currently working on my fanfiction Cemel Dosce on ff.net. You can look it up if you into fanfiction for Stargate Atlantis.

I have not gotten back to my novel After Tonight. I decided to take a break because of school and all the cleaning.

Hope all you are doing well and stay sharp!

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.

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!

~LV

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?

My top and me have been having dominance issues as I've discovered I'm a switch utterly. I just need to top sometimes so we've been trying (I say this loosely as my top is not the one trying so much lol) to manage this slight predicament.

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 was a bit unsure about releasing this online but its very obvious on my dA account what my online Guild Wars name is...so Its Elryia Nalediri   I don't think anybody will look me up but if you want to I don't bite...that hard. hehe

I hope everybody is doing well and stay safe!

Well I have a lot to say surprisingly but I have little time to post it. I'm currently using a library computer and the clock says 7 minutes left! So I'll just be leaving a quick update.  I finally moved down to Port Hueneme which is about an hour and a half away from Rosemead area - San Gabriel Valley. I'm on the base and boy is it awesome. I'm really happy and everything I could pretty much ask for is at my finger tips. Anyways I'm doing good and I'm working on my novel. I'm finally on Chapter 9 and I may even get to Chapter 10 this week if I keep at it.

As for the agent bit I'm still looking and doing what I can. My main focus right now is just writing the novel and trying to get my Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Acting at Oxnard college. I'm also looking for just a part time job to help out my college expensives and for my car too.

Well anyways since my time is almost up I'll be getting internet at my place in about a week so I'll be updating with all the cool details etc.

Just wanted to drop a line so that everybody knows I'm still kicking lol.

Take care everybody see you in a week probably,

~Lady Valmar

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!

Okay so what's been doing? ( Here we go! )

Ever felt like the world is against you? I felt like that recently. After all the shit in my life I feel like I've been swept up in a storm that may or may not settle down any time soon. But then the optismistic side of me is saying shut the hell up and grow up. lol

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 since my top left. 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 and by the way my husband is doing good too. I finally got an email from him from his ship. He says he is really busy as well so that means we both aren't able to dwell on missing each other as much. Good thing too!

~LV

Well I have some news to report. First off I learned my husband will be going officially to sea March 17, 2008. Then in October he will be back. So it turns out that it will be a 7 month cruise and he will be on the Lincoln Aircraft Carrier not the Ronald Reagan. So nothing has been pinned down but I also learned that his squadron VAW 116 which works on E2's C2's has been on one cruise before this current one. Which means... they will be surging.

Sigh...

Well the good news? I went on a two week shopping spree. I ended up with shoes, socks, undies, bras, lingerie for my top, shirts, jeans, pants, a jacket, some sweaters/sweat shirts, sweat pants, two hats, three scarves, gloves, a watch, some jewelry, a purse, a furry blanket, a surge protector for my laptop and a few products for my hair or such. Whew...is all I can say.

I haven't gone on a shopping spree like that in at least a year. It was fun and mostly because I only bought a few things, the rest my parents paid for. How sweet! I also got a Wii in case i didn't mention that in the last post.

Now for the bad news...

Yeah not happening really. As soon as I came home to Calif it was raining like crazy. That was late Saturday (01-05-08) and my parents drove me home from the airport. Not to mention that I had a bad flu on top of luggage to pull and... ugh. Its just been a crazy month. I swear it has. I'm so glad to be done with moving and packing. Well at least for now.

Ah with my so little time left I find so much I wish I could accomplish before then. By the end of this month I will be moving back home to California. In case I never mentioned it I'm living in Pauxent River, Maryland right now. It seems so strange to have lived here for a year. I think I will miss some of the charm I've grown use to. I think the thing I will miss most is the quiet, lazy atmosphere that seems to be in comparison to busy California or at least the area I'm used to in Calif. I feel like I've grown so much both online and in my real life. The real evidence is from my earlier entries on this LJ to my newest ones.

Well off to business I suppose. First off, my fanfiction and original fiction are suffering right now. This is not without a good reason. I am a novelist and currently I'm working hard to finish my first book and get it published. As such it leaves little creative energy for fanfiction or original fiction. I will resume my fanfics/fiction this week as I'm kind of stuck on my novel at this time.

As for my art I continue to take more pictures and create more art I've just been kind of lazy in uploading them. I also have some videos I'm considering uploading to youtube but I need to check the videos first to make sure they can be uploaded as is.

Some other news, I have not made any head way in my acting career but I've not lost my determination nor resolve to pursue it by any means. I have tried Cognac VS and found I don't really favor it. I'd rather rum or vodka personally or Riunte Lambrosko.

I have resently become engulfed in Guild Wars Nightfall and I ended up buying Guilds Wars Prophecy. I am planning on buying Guild Wars Factions and the EofN expansion set but that is later on.

I have since stopped playing Oblivion though I enjoy it and will jump back on eventually. Other news? Well Thanksgiving was okay but since it was my first time cooking Turkey yeah ah...we had Brown sugar ham instead. The Turkey well...I had to throw it out. Oh well. I suppose that's all of it so its back to work.

~LV

Okay this is one of the most stupidest, lamest things ever. So yeah I downloaded episode 4 of Season 4 for Stargate Atlantis... apparently iTunes is full of dyslexic people or something. They put out 401 but instead when people downloaded it, it turned out to be episode 4 - Doppleganger. Which is an excellent show. Also just because you can download it and see it now doesn't mean don 't see it when it shows live this friday.

Seriously without us viewers the show could be and still might be canceled. Show support by watching the show live and then buying the dvd box set when it comes out!

So anyways after I watched it and went over to a friends house. Something happened everytime I went into yahoo email it would suddenly jump back to the log on page. I thought oh shit...that download had a virus didn't it? I just screwed my computer and probably comprised my external hard drive too!

I was concerned but not quite pist or upset yet. Then I went into Windows Media Player and everytime I tried to click on the now playing tab it would jump back to library. Now I was pist and upset.

Thus it began to do it to everything. Jumping suddenly back whenever I entered a sub folder back to the main folder. Or when I tried to access my c drive or my external it would jump be back to my computer.

My husband, the computer genius, worked on it and then it was fine. Until the morning err...afternoon. It started doing it again. I couldn't help it.... I ended up getting teary eyed because my laptop is truly my baby and without it or my external my book would be history. Deleted gone. Which now reminds me I should print out a copy of it or burn it to a disc so in case the worst case scenario happens I'll at least won't lose my book.

Anyhoo It kept doing it today and even with all the update to date anti virus scans, hard level setting on my firewall and then deleting the SGA 4 ep 4 file. It still kept doing it. I despaired I would have to wipe my computer and start all over again. My husband told me he didn't think it was virus because it only did it sometimes and not all the time. Virus don't normally behave like that. He said he thought it could be a macro which is just a fault or glitch that can occur.

What we didn't know is that macro was my mouse! I realized that the only time the computer did that werid backing thing was when my mouse was plugged in. Which meant that either the little hub I was using was up to something (which is impossible) or it was the mouse. So I plugged the mouse directly into the usb and sure enough the problems started up.

Finally my husband really looked at the mouse and saw that the umm... back button was stuck! Imagine my outrage and embarrassment at that! While normally I would never do this becuase I think its stupid, childish and I just am not suppose to do this. I flipped my mouse off and called it an asshole. LOL!

I feel so ashamed... Ah well. I have no problem making fun of myself for that one. Sigh...

Anyways I'm still working on Chapter 7 for my novel and my fanfiction suffers but oh well.

I was suppose to write a review of Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward and shout my huge excitement that Stargate Atlantis is back on but I'm a little busy right now. I'll try and do that tomorrow along with posting Chapter 4 of Lover Redeemed. Ah yes...

I finally installed Knights of Nine, the expansion for Elder Scrolls Oblivion. I have never been a more happy gamer. At first I wasn't too impressed but the Wizard's Tower and the Vile Lair are excellent. In fact I've moved all of my books (rare etc) to the Wizard's Tower and everything else that is a magical artifact is there too. Since my character is head of the dark brotherhood and a vampire I go to Vile Lair a little more often.

Its so nice to have a prisoner to feed from, makes the blood potions mod I installed kind of redudant but I think I'll leave it anyways. Also I installed a mod for bracelets by slof? It is awesome!

Anyways my top is calling so I gotta go. I'll update later.

~LV

Been really busy. I'm still working on fanfiction "Lover Redeemed, Burden etc" Also working on my Novel and my art. Be patient, stay tuned and thanks for reading.

~LV

I decided since I haven't been doing much articles...been busy with my novel, fanfiction and art that I'd post a list I compiled awhile back about the esp, telekinesis etc. So I thought while it doesn't have all of them that at least it would be a nice basic list for those who need it for a fanfiction, their story or for whatever it may be that you need it for.

Well I finally finished Bound To Happen. Whew... But you know I feel a little sad. Like I lost a good friend or something. Eh...I think I'm going to do another fic to follow up the storyline. I really want to but I need to finish up some other unfinished fics first.

Oh right. I've got a pic of what Rodney looks like at the end of Bound To Happen. I wanted to post it at deviant art but their such assholes about photo manipulation and blah blah blah. Everything has to be completely original...sketched drawn etc. Funny thing is there is so many people who put pictures of copyrighted material on there anyways and deviant art doesn't say shit to them. Ah well... Whatever.

So Rodney in his state:    http://pics.livejournal.com/ladyvalmar/pic/0003yfa9


Other news? Well I'm working on probably Sheppard Reads Romance Novels next. Meanwhile I'm working on Lover Redeemed fanfic and my original fic Pinch Me Please which is posted at fictionpress.com. Under the same name I use at ff.net.

I am working on my novel 'After Tonight' as well. I'm still learning cg art so it may take awhile before I can get a decent John Sheppard cg. I plan to make a few slash, one of just John, one of just Rodney and one of me and John. (hehe.) Hey a woman can dream!

Anyways...I won't be posting anything all weekend and probably not till wednesday of next because of travel plans and real life stuff. I can tell you this much its gunna be a busy weekend. Oh yes...for those who are still wondering about some of those fics like Death Dealers, Dreams Night Sweats and Ophidian Equinox. Yes I'm going to do them. I have changed my mind about Ophidian Equinox though. I think I might wait on that one and post another fic that is prequel to the series I've been working on and off. Haven't completely gotten the idea down but I think I know where I'm going to go with it.

So thats all to report for now. Oh yes I have a bunch of new art up at deviant art. I would put the links in but they don't work. So deviantart.com then type in ladyvalmar and you'll get some art and from that one picture you can see my gallery etc.
