yeah. I forget which one I own... either the silver or the gold one.

*nods* role-playing would be good. I want a good round robin partner. :3

CK 10-07-2008 08:18 PM

My inventory is bleeding. XD And then my gold count will too. ::awarding prizes for her art contest::

Post a request somewhere for a round-robin player? :o

Seito 10-07-2008 08:53 PM

xD hahaha <3 art contests tend to run people dry. But always well worth the effort :3

hehe maybe, too lazy to and most people don't know the difference between the two. ^^;; *got tired of teaching every new partner*

CK 10-08-2008 02:25 AM

Yeah, I understand how that goes. XD (re: too lazy to make an effort to go out and find new role-playing partners) I just need to get back to the role-playing game I'm in here on Menewsha. >_<;

Seito 10-08-2008 02:27 AM

<33 hehe you can do it yesh you can! *cheers you on* xD

CK 10-08-2008 02:38 AM

I'll try to catch up and make a post tonight... >_>;

But first... ::wanders off to her art contest thread to start awarding gold:: :o

Seito 10-08-2008 02:42 AM

haha *snuggles* you're so dedicated

CK 10-08-2008 05:34 AM

XD I was just really pleased with the turn-out. :3

::decides she wants to make a new outfit with the CIs:: Too bad I didn't think about this earlier... u__u; I have 1,300 gold worth of harem items sitting in my shopping cart and very little gold with which to purchase them. XD (Seeing as I still have to hold gold for that seller. XD)

Ohwell, it just means I have to post a lot and stoop to playing games again. :B

Seito 10-08-2008 05:36 AM

:3 that can be done. xD *is here all night if you want* xDD

CK 10-08-2008 06:04 AM

XD I will totally take you up on that if I'm still conscious after the bath and shower I'm about to take in the next few minutes. X3 I'm just going to make a last run of a few threads and the Staff room before I take my soak (which runs anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on how lazy I am) and quick shower (around 5 minutes). :B

But I've been logged into Menewsha for a little over 12 hours now... I may not have been actively doing something on Menewsha, but my account has been logged in that long. XD So I'm all, @[email protected] sleepy right now. (Not that that's stopped me from posting in the past...)

Seito 10-08-2008 06:05 AM

xDD <33

hehe. Well I say you should be rest. :3 12 hours is a long time. Then again... I've been on for about that long too. *little least but yeah* xD

CK 10-08-2008 06:10 AM

XD The bath and shower might actually wake me up, though... And then I can get to that role-playing post I meant to and double-check my Menewsha to-do list... :b

Seito 10-08-2008 06:14 AM

that is true too. xD
actually when I stop to think about it, a shower does sound really good right now :3

CK 10-09-2008 03:22 AM

XD I hope you got a shower, if you wanted one, then. XD

I read "Interview With a Vampire" (well, obviously not all of it. just some of it) last night in the tub and went to sleep straight after. @[email protected];

Seito 10-09-2008 06:38 AM

*took a long shower indeed* xD

Interview with a vampire Hmm never read that.

CK 10-09-2008 07:24 AM

So far it seems pretty good... I'm more than a little bit weirded out by the Louis/Claudia relationship, as depicted in the text. Their feelings for each other seem to be slightly different from the way the movie showed it. It sort of makes me cringe in the 'child endangerment' sort of way. Not that I think Louis is a pedophile or anything, but it's written in such a way that it makes it sound like it. x_x; Other things have altered a bit from the way the movie described it happening, too. But nothing remarkable so far.

Still :heart: Louis, though. :B



RE: My Quest
Nothing on the harem-headgear front (it could be days before the sale goes through, which is fine)....
But I did buy one of the Harem bras (white/silver).
And, of course, this teal Flight Jacket. Which isn't on my "ieeee" list, but I wanted a nice accent piece for this outfit and it works really nicely. :3 (imho, ymmv)

Seito 10-09-2008 07:26 AM

xD <3

Hmm so what is the story about exactly? o.o

CK 10-09-2008 07:41 AM

:o You haven't seen the movie? XD

::writes with the idea that you've not seen it yet::

You start out in modern times (the book has it set in the late '70s, I assume, based on the printing date, but the movie has it set more in the '90s, I assume, based on the movie release date) in a room with a young man and a gentleman of some refinement (the vampire, Louis).

Louis somehow met up with the young man (apparently he interviews random people and puts these interviews on the radio, though the movie may have him just be a text-reporter... I don't remember if they ever say) and the guy is all, "So, let's talk about this whole thing where you think you're a vampire." And Louis is all, "Okay, well, I am a vampire, and let's start back at when I was alive as a human..."

And so the story cuts back'n'forth between modern times, during this interview, and the past, where Louis started out as a human who owned a plantation just outside of New Orleans back in 1700-something-ish. Before the Louisiana Purchase, anyway. Depending on if you're reading the book or watching the movie, either his wife's death or his brother's death sent him on a self-destructive path, so he'd go out and get drunk and kinda hope someone would kill him. Of course, someone eventually did, but that 'someone' was a vampire (Lestat).

Depending on the book/movie, Lestat's motivations are slightly different. But he certainly wants a companion of some type. But Louis and Lestat don't really get along very well and Louis tries to be a different sort of vampire from Lestat - who is all about excessive desires. Lestat is a consumer whereas Louis is someone who savors what he is presented with. In any event Louis eventually starts to break free from that relationship, which provokes a chain of events which results in the addition of Claudia to their lives. And Claudia is a girl of (book says around 5 years old/movie seems to show around 8 years old) whom is made a vampire as well.

And then so on and so forth. ;B ::tried not to ruin anything big for you, as this is the sort of thing you would have picked up from the commercials if you'd seen it on television::

Seito 10-09-2008 07:45 AM

Nope. xD Never saw the movie.

But O.O Oooo hey that actually sounds pretty interesting!

CK 10-09-2008 07:52 AM

XD It is interesting. The book, of course, can 'afford' to be a little more disturbing and in-depth than the movie. And since (so far, at least) it doesn't seem wildly different from the movie, you could probably watch the DVD (or wait for it to come on television) and see what you think before investing time in the book. XD

Oh, I should also mention that there is homoerotic subtext/themes in both movie and book (sometimes more obvious than others). And the movie has one scene, if I recall correctly, where they show a topless woman for a few seconds. Which I doubt you have a problem with, but it's something to keep in mind with who you watch it around. XD;

Anyway, whenever I finish the book, I'm going to watch the movie again. Because I rather enjoy it. ::has seen it a few times and bought the dvd for-cheap:: XD

But for now... I sleepz. :3

Seito 10-09-2008 07:55 AM

haha. xD <3
I'll keep it in mind. *goes to find the book* :3

okies. night night Ck!

CK 10-10-2008 12:36 AM

You are looking quite gorgeous in black and red. :3

Seito 10-10-2008 12:42 AM

:3 thank you

*spins* x3

CK 10-10-2008 02:58 AM

Quest update! Of sorts....

Again, it's not for my 'main' Quest, but I managed to purchase white/silver harem pants to go with the white/silver harem bra I got. :3 Woohoo! Since I'm also questing all Harem items in general, I am making progress of the questy sort!

My gold did not disappear, btw.... I went ahead and put it all in a trade so I wasn't tempted to spend it before I heard back from the seller. XD;


EDIT:
Wanted to shop... So I sold back some event commons I didn't use much and figured I never would.

Purchased:
- White/silver Harem top
- White/silver Harem skirt
- Purple/black inventor's steampunk coat thing
- Pleasantly purple ladie's blouse.

I believe all of which are on my wishlist... (if not, then the only thing specifically not on my wishlist is the steampunk coat...)

And, even after that spending spree, I still have a tiny bit of gold that I can blow tomorrow. :D

Seito 10-10-2008 07:08 AM

haha. xD *squishes* congrats on progressing! xD
Seito needs to go shopping :3
