Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

Honestly, though, OR. In real life, if you started acting like a wolf, how would people look at YOU? Karn and Juken and the others I have would have to be repressed in my mind, man, and I really don't want that.......

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

it could have bonuses attached to it
getting fresh food for one - with not processed meat - would lead to a healthier diet !!

and its not repression - parts of me are here and parts of me are not here (so to speak) I mean all us of on the net are more confiant - partly because we cannot be contested in the same manner as in the real world.

but those things should not stop you seeking a talent in something - try something:
walking
photography
art (drawing, painting)
modeling (plastic and metal models 0 not clothing in a shop window - the pay is too low )
writing - maybe not fantasy - perhapse collect to gether you understandings of the mythological worlds of he Greeks - pull sources together and write your own works
a pet - something like a hamster or maybe a cat -- not too demanding but a constant companion (cats are good at that)

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

My trouble with writing isn't idea, OR. I have good ones, really. My setup is bad. And as for taking myths, I could never come up with anything of my own, so I do fantasy, which I can come up with. *sigh* And cats aren't too demanding? Ha! You should see the one we have around here. Won't shut up. But Meiko-out Siberian-is a pretty good pup. But people would try to throw me into the nearest funny farm if I started to try to control water and summon tsunamis.

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

ack! sorry its late -that writing line came out wrong - I meant collect to gether you understandings and sources and write your own account of those times - it might serve as a good basis for other things

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

He's an adult, male, not neutered, and before we got him, alpha, so you can probably imagine the frustration we have with him sometimes. But he likes to hang around me, for some reason, and he's a sweet dog.



Like I said, I can't base anything original off mythology, really. The best I can do is take creatures from it. *sigh*

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

Huskies are very loyal dogs - not obedient - but loyal and they make thier own view of the home packs order of importance --
as to mythology - well all the greats have been stealing off each other for generations = read tolkein and then read some of the older norse mythologies (esp those which centre or come from the UK) and you will find much of the LotR material sitting right there before you -- it was intentional -- you could try basing a story off the colinisation of the US by the europeans - change enough details round and it would be an original works

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

I never went for that period of history.......*shakes his head* Personally, I can always find a place for hydras, chimeras, manticores, and such in stories, but stories centering around them or the Gods? Kind of hard to do a quality piece of......

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

I had two huskies on separate occasions.They were very excited dogs but they obeyed me. That sorta thing tends to happen a lot with me.

Hec unless people actually see me do something they don't believe me.

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

I'm in New York currently. I plan to go back to Nebraska soon. I've been tempted to go to Oregon someday if its true they don't have a sales tax there.

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

You can't believe we don't have a sales tax? It's true. No sales tax.

I didn't say I don't believe I just didn't really know. I can't remember the other states without it.

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV
