Welcome to my world
here you'll find...well let's face it you won't find much of anything, not many people pay attention to these places do they? lol
anyways, what you might find here are various thought from myself on random stuff...and also maybe some notices when I intend to change something, etc.

...yep that's about it, it's you'd still like to lurk look about, feel free.

OC Quiz (Mikail) (courtesy of Iruka Sensei (username not character! lol))

Yep, found this in one of Iruka Sensei's worlds and asked if I could do it too, looked fun. Okay Misha, you're up! (yes, that's a pet form of his name, not a typo ^^)

Rules:
1. You must choose only ONE of your OCs. Do it again if you wanna use another OC.
2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible.
3. Title the journal as "OCs Quiz (your OCs name)".
4. When you're done, tag as many people as you want.
5. Have fun!!!

1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?

Mikhail...and that is what I prefer to be called...however those close to me usually ignore this and use various...er..."pet" forms of my name...Misha, Mika...etc.

2. Interesting... what's your current age?

I am 25.

3. Uh huh. What's your favorite food?

*thinks for a moment*...I haven't thought about it until now...I don't think I've ever been asked...

4. And your favorite drink?

again...I've not thought of it...though Water is generally the most useful fluid one can ingest...

5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?

O_O...what???...you'll forgive me but is that question really relevant???

6. Aww! Have you two kissed yet?

-__-'...With all due respect, I urge you to stop asking such...personal questions...

7. Classic question! What's your favorite color?

Steel-grey is a nice neutral I suppose.

8. Who's your favorite author?

I used to have many...though I haven't really read for recreational purposes since I was a young boy.

9. Now what's your biggest fear?

That I will endanger or harm those I have come to care about one day.

10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing *bursts out laughing* Sorry. Any siblings?

*glare*...yes...*very quietly* an older brother...

11. Almost, it's only twenty questions. Who's your hero?

*Says nothing but gazes briefly upward*

12. Ok, who is your worst enemy?

...I have had many...

13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?

In his recent state, my...enemy...would never ally with my..."hero" as you put it...nor vice versa...let me say this, if my bro- I mean my "enemy" were to come around to my "hero's" side, it would mean something of a miracle had occurred...

14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?

That depends on your definition of "Creator"...*glances upward again*

15. Okay, I'll contact them right now. Done! Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?

well, I am fully grown physically...however, the mind and soul of course never cease changing...I'm not sure exactly what I would like to become in the future...I just hope it's something...normal.

16. What's your worst nightmare?

My br - sorry, that is...my "enemy" waking up and regaining his power...

17. What's your lifelong dream?

...to both repent to those I have harmed, and in return be forgiven for my trespasses and crimes.

18. What would you do if your lifelong dream came true?

I would be thankful for the mercy of those I've harmed, and I would try my best to take on a peaceful existence.

19. Ok, where's your favorite place to relax?

Flying at high altitude or working in a hanger...on civil aircraft in particular...

20. Last question! What do you spend most of your time doing?

earning my keep by doing work for the one who has graciously offered me a home.

21. We're done! Now tag whoever you want. DO IT!
(no one really...well, maybe Myouko...we'll see.)

Attention: OC Name Change

To those who are familiar with my original characters, Lance, and to a lesser extent, his "brother" equivalent, Keldro (who's image is not currently in my TheO gallery), are getting a name change.

due to the fact that over the past year, both have become a bit more fleshed out, and have taken on a more definite ethnicity, I realized that their names have become a sort of inconsistency due to origin (Lance is French, and Keldro is completely to of my head)

so from now on, the character Lance is now renamed "Mikhail", and Keldro will be renamed "Kir". And I will be editing all submissions containing these characters so that their old names are converted to the new ones

so yeah, from now on

Lance = Mikail

Keldro = Kir

hope that clears up any confusion for those who have maybe favorited any works (with Lance since as mentioned above, Keldro is not posted here yet) and notice that suddenly the submissions have different names on them and stuff.

It's not that I didn't like the old names, (Lance has become one of my favorite male names of all) they just felt out of place seeing what these characters have evolved into. so a change was needed...weird though, these characters have been in my OC family for years, so it is a bit weird make the change.

URGENT!!! Please Read!!

Update on our dog, bailey -

She is in emergency surgery as I write this, looks VERY bad, she has a ruptured spleen. It's all or nothing now, she either lives or dies today, she could even be gone right now already, I don't know yet, but please, more than ever, if you are reading this and believe in God, PLEASE pray for Bailey!

Prayer Request, for what it's worth...

Kind of have a prayer request...I'm posting it on all my sites just because I'm kind of that desperate right now, and yes, this is my (KuboRocks') dog, we're talking about, this is not some pasted request from some random person on the net, this is one of our family pets.

lets start it off with a proper intro.

This is Bailey, our Black Tri-color Australian Shepherd:

She's the smartest dog we've ever had, and is very fun and well-loved. She has done therapy work (visiting hospitals and retirement homes to make the people feel better and give them something fun to enjoy), and is also a backup service dog for a friend of ours in the areas of asthma alert and some hearing alert, this friend uses Bailey if ever her dogs are sick or hurt - this friend is also a dog trainer, and has used Bailey as a "demo-dog" for examples for the students.

Bailey turned nine years old this January, so she is a senior citizen you could say, but for an aussie, a breed known to live to an adverage of 12 - 14 years or so, she is not ancient and should have some good years left in her.

but here is the problem, Bailey is in Very bad shape right now from a sudden probelm that has recently presented itself.
A few weeks ago, Bailey began to appear bloated and generally listless, absolutely opposite her normal, energetic, go-get-'em self (that she had been showing only a matter of days before). the vet gave her special food and some antibiotics it looked like a stomach upset and she had diarrhea and a slight fever.
she again began to improve slightly, but the bloating never went away.

eventually, we were forced to take her to the vet again as she turned for the worse again after apparently losing some bladder control. we had X-rays done this time, and it turns out the she for some reason has fluid buildup in her abdomen causing the bloating. they don't know why, though blood tests should come back by Tuesday - her back has gone bad again and it is difficult for her to get up again, the bloating could be aggravating it.
but the doctor has said that it does not look good for her, attempting to drain the fluid apparently could cause her to go into shock and apparently on dogs her age it is very often fatal. we are still trying to stay positive and weigh our options, but as stated before, it doesn't look good from here at all - even if there is a solution, there's a STRONG likelihood that we will not be able to supply the funds to pay for it with vet bills as they are.

Bailey is very unhappy right now, and uncomfortable. And we are all extremely worried that we may not be able to save her.

so I ask that you please pray for Bailey right now. This is not normal and is a very sudden and mysterious condition, this dog was frolicking, playing, and bossing around our other dogs and my friend's dogs like she would normally do as the energetic type-A personality she is. if she goes now, it will be tragically before her time.

Later, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Random update for the sake of...Oh screw it, it's sake-less, okay???

LOL

yes, I have pretty much no reason to write here, yet for some reason I still do...anyways, trying to be more active here.

Spurred on to action after seeing that I have already been promoted to "Otakuite+" this month, and I've only been on for a few months and not very active.

so I'm very eager to get that second "+" on my title so I can host Challenges here. I've really wanted to host an art contest, but have never been able to or willing to attempt it for fear it would bomb utterly. but Challenges seems to make it much easier and more manageable with the set system. so yeah.

I am currently commenting and trying to visit the site and do stuff at least once a day. hopefully the gap between the two ranks isn't THAT big. o_O
