all my creativity is locked in my lazy ass head in highschool I doodled and drew constantly.... until I graduated and my urge plummeted >_>

now I envy people who can be bothered to do something I know Im good at but just cant seem to get much insperation

I can so relate.  I think in school it's such an escape, and also part of one's identity.  My drawings were one of the few things that got positive reactions from classmates.  And yet here I am years later and I've done little with my talents, other than sketch for my own pleasure.  I need constant encouragement to finish anything.

heres the last things I drew...

Edit: CZ, those are really good.

1) Ah. Well, only left handed people are in their right minds

2)I ended up in an alternative school at the end of my sophmore year.

3)I knew a few like that... One kept wearing these tight-tight shirts, and she looked like too much sausage stuffed into too little casing. But most of the kids were the skinny preppy b*tches or their boyfriends the jocks. Those two groups were the worst, thinking they were God's Gift or something. By sophomore year I was tired of it. I missed 3-4 days of school a week just to avoid the harassment. So I was taken to court for truancy and told to either drop out or go to an alternative school. Fewer kids in that school, but they were worse. I could easily ignore them, because there were fewer kids. Then my best friend threw a desk at someone to get herself sent to the same school. So I had her there for a while. One of the girls had been a real c*nt to me, and everyone knew she'd had an abortion and totally regretted it. So one day she said to me, "You know, Jenny Craig's works." I looked at her and dead-pan said, "Yeah, well so do abortions." I was tired of the needling and sometimes I grow a spine and snap back. It worked, she left me alone after that.

ouchy, I think I already commented in this topic how well I reacted to bullies around me (read I went prince stabbity on one with a sharpened pencil and smacked him in the face with my science book)

it certainly taught that bastard that i wasnt a a skinny little queer nerd thats easily picked on

My biggest regret in highschool was that it never came to violence.  *sigh*  You'd have a group of people harrassing you relentlesly for some stupid thing or another... bisexuality, the occult, the fact I wore a long black coat (it was an evening coat, not a trench coat, but Columbine happened and 90% of my classmates could qualify as mentaly retarded), the fact long hair was not fassionable at that time, the fact I'm over weight, the fact I have large breasts, the fact I know big words that hurt their tiney brains... Seriously, people in Moralton needed to find a better hobby.  But any time we got to the point of a face-off, it would ether be a cowardly girl or a guy saying he can't hit me because I'm a girl.  Which is one of the biggest insults, IMO.  I really wish I just went ahead and took the initiative, but I was afraid of my dad... which was stupid.  I could have ended the missery so much sooner if I got in a fight, and got kicked out of school and my Dad's house Junior Year.  I got kicked out over a big fight over politics a year after graduation, and it was like 'wow, THIS is what I was afraid of?'  (I knocked my dad on his ass.  XD) UUUUUGH!

But no.  No epic storries about stabbing people with pencils for me.  *sigh*  *admires CZ's epic awsomeness*

My brother. He's a skinny stick of a kid, with long hair, glasses, and wears miltary trench coats(the fugly olive drab ones). EVERYONE was scared he would be the one to snap and all Columbine on the school, because he was the quiet kid.

He sounds like the sort I would have had a crush on in HS.    Too bad there weren't many like that where I was, and they never had any of the same classes as me.

*grin* Girls like skinny geek-boys.

i lost my creative energy pretty much the day i finished school. now my head is stuffed with all those crappy things like paying bills etc.... and our ****ed up university system killed everything that was left of it.... quite sad, that.

my biggest regret is that it did come to violence. and that i lost someone i cared about over it. it cost me three years from my life to get back into just being myself again, and it still causes me grief, physically and otherwise to this day, though it's not nearly as bad as it once was. but despite all of that, the people that did what they did are still pathetic pieces of hick trash whose biggest accomplishment will be not dying in prison. i have traveled the world, had snowball fights with villagers in rural china, ate pigeon on a stick in an oasis in egypt (Shale would be proud), climbed mountains in the rockies, and made plenty of good friends along the way, and no matter what highschool thought it did to me - or no matter what anyone thinks highschool can do to you - it's not worth the sanity. american highschool is the most pathetic soultrap on the planet, and if you escape from it with any sense of dignity, creativity and happiness still intact, then you won, because the rest of the world doesn't work that way.

sorry for the rant, i was going to avoid the topic, but i figured i'd just say my piece instead of letting it gnaw at me.

I wish I was good enough of a writer to write a letter from Zev... I can just imagine him making jabs about Xanders marriage to Anora as well as jabs to the ice queen herself

It seemed more fun to write a letter from Zevran in this context, so I gave it a shot:

EDIT: Sigh formatting.. hopefully I fixed it

Greetings from Antiva, my delectable Grey Warden! I regret the necessity of my departure, for though I did not leave you alone, I imagine your nights have still been most frigid without me. My dreams of you have kept me warm; let the thought of my sharing these dreams upon my return help you persevere through the chill.

I have heard that you face new troubles with the darkspawn and am disappointed that I cannot join you, for dealing with the Crows seems a paltry task next to the adventures we could be sharing. It does seem that the Crows are finally becoming receptive to the idea of meeting with me, though I fear my business will not be concluded in time to aid you.

May it suffice to say that I hope this separation will be our last, mi amore, for when I am again by your side, I intend that only death shall remove me.

Yours always,
Zevran



EDIT #2: High school.... Even if there were smatterings of good times... kids are just so mean.

I honestly dont know what to say to that...

only places beyond england/America i have been is to germany and the spanish carnary island of Lanzarote(loved it loved it loved it) I hope I get to go to Spain and new zealand however since I have family in both those countries(aunt lives in spain, my oldest sister and her family in kiwi land)

(ps shale would think eating Pigeon disgusting)

[jenovan]

Yeek, you guys are plowing on for a friday night. XD  Thanks for the comments on the letter! :3

@Addai67:  You know, I don't even like pet-names or endearments, really, but Zevran has these little things he uses to address all of the companions, so I think it seems natural for him to use them... It is fun, though, to see the ones everyone comes up with on his behalf ;D  Cara works wonderfully for him, I think X3

I would write one, but...I've never been good at taking liberties with a pre-written character...

You know, I have hardly written any fanfic since my FF7 days ... 10.. years ago... dear god.. anyway, though, I feel like the characters in DA are written so brilliantly that it's relatively easy to get into their heads and go from there.  It's been a long time since I've been inspired to write this much about something that's not mine, and that tells me something about the writing of the game.


senorfuzzylips, your letter is totally sweet!   And Rhinna's is seriously naughty.  XD Actually, they all have a hint of naughty.  I suppose it can't be helped. :innocent:

***hugs*** to everyone Gah, so much pain, and it stays, doesn't it Charsen, I am sorry for your loss. Time does heal, as cliche as that sounds. One of my babies died 12 years ago, and while it still makes me sad, I can promise you, pain DOES fade, and if you're lucky, you can look back and experience the joy the person gave you, though the time was cut too short. Hopefully your memories will be more joyful than painful; it can happen, and the memories become treasures. But I can't imaging losing someone I love to violence. People can be so horrible.



I'm so sad now. Why are some people so horrible And why do people not see the pain they cause others? Bleh.

[SurrealSadi]

@Jenovan:Fan-fic is hard for me... I prefer taking characters that creep up in my own mind and working around them...

[Cuddlezarro]

ok people who wants screenshots once I get done with the mage tower?

[SurrealSadi]

Squee-ful screenies??

[ejoslin]

The question is, who doesn't?!



Senorfuzzylips, I LOVE that letter btw!

(needed a fresh post...)

*hugs everyone about high school trauma*

I realized once I left HS and met more people with common interests and so on -- like our gang here, eh? -- that I was extremely lucky in getting out relatively unscathed... It's an awful place at an already rough time in one's life..

Oh man... my oldest of my whole three uploads on there is awful.  I'm so glad I grew out of that early 90's anime style. D:  (though I'm still proud of the coloring and inking well enough.) This: http://eccentricsage...-couple-8174250

Ah... my inking rocks on this one.  And it's not how I normaly draw this character of mine... I was drawing him young.  http://eccentricsage...tides-43820114  I aparently never uploaded the scetches page I did of him the way he normaly would look (as an adult)...   Go me.  lol  I kind of SHOULD upload more stuff.

The thing that really annoyed me is I picked up both quests and though "This would be awesome for my DN", as he would have used the smuggler's to bring the goods into the city and then had the guards seize them, win-win.

*Also it doesn't seem to be fixable via the toolset...

@Anyone - If your writing a fanfic could I have a link? I'm currently reading Soulmates, The Hunt and Rouge on the Rocks. Any other good Fic's you know of would also be welcome.

I'm reading poetry!  By George Henry Boker. 

LXII

This love of mine is no light thing, no toy
To trifle with, and fill a vacant hour;
No fragrant incense of a passing flower
That I can pluck, and, when my senses cloy,
Fling in the dew, for others to enjoy;
Or swear the former sweet is present sour,
And with the ruthless haste of selfish power,
Neglect, betray, abandon, or destroy.
No, no! My love is master and not slave.
It grasps my nature in its firm control;
It is the blessing of the days, that roll
O'er my else hapless head; its pinions wave
Above the earth, beyond the dreary grave;
The faith, the hope, the comfort of my soul.

Zevranish fanfic list  XD

Ahh, heh, I got the quest from the smuggler dude first, but I got the one from the guards right after, and thought, "Oh, these cancel each other out, I'll do the stuff for the guards then"... but when I went to the tavern, you could still talk to the dwarf there, and yeah... the Captain of the Guard didn't like that.  Even though it didn't DO anything!  Meh.


@Creature, thanks for sharing.. that is beautiful.  <3

I didn't mean to sound flipant about violence... I just meant I regret not fighting for myself.  I hope I didn't sound... horible....

I'm really sorry for what you went through.  *offers hug*  People are disguesting, most anyhow.  I know such horrors happen to people, and how calous people can be, and that really bothers me, especialy when I find out someone I like lost someone to violence.  I think I would have lost it.

You are right. 
I think I've let my school years shape me too much in my past, so the part about escaping school with sanity and dignity in tact took a while to realize.  I wasted years thinking negatively.  I LIKE myself now, though...
