Well, I will probably not be very active here for a while, but I think I'll upload some stuff tonight or tomorrow, but then it might take a while before you get any new things in your watchboxes.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, “Common Sense,” who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:



- knowing when to come in out of the rain;

- the early bird gets the worm;

- life isn’t always fair; and

- maybe it was my fault.



Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).


His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.


Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.


It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.


Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims.


Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.


Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.


Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, “Truth” and “Trust,” by his wife, “Discretion,” by his daughter, “Responsibility,” and by his son, “Reason.”



He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers – “I Know My Rights,” “I Want It Now,” “Someone Else Is To Blame,” and “I’m A Victim.”



Not many attended his funeral, because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Shameless advertising (But it's my journal and I believe I can post what I want in it unless it's explicitly pornographic, encouraging terrorism, or other criminal stuff, right?)!

Actually, I and my friend Kira (Aka. ~Spacejackal) have taken it into out hands to create a nice little roleplaying community; [link]

It's a quite well-organized and nice little place, and we encourage one and all roleplayers to at least have a look. We just need to get things started up a little, and with your help I'm sure it will be easy to get things going.

Now, we do require tryouts in order to let you start roleplaying, all just because we want to keep the roleplaying to a certain standard.

So welcome to tryout or link to us!

I just got home from Gotland where I've been spending two weeks, nice weeks, and now that I've returned to this part of the country I have the horrible news to share that my computer is kind of dead. Luckily, we have a few more of them in the household, but none of them with the programs and files I need to edit or draw. So, although I admit I'm hardly very active lately, it probably wont be better until I get my computer fixed/replaced or get the files which I need.

So, I'm sorry for those who have waited for me to finish trades x_x I promise they'll eventually show up when I'm able to be online.
