Still need to draw GLaDOS

I had to get off the computer half an hour after I said I would draw her last night, so I might draw her tonight. Right now I'm on a griffon to Stranglethorn Vale in WoW to frig around with lighting up the map.

only only only only

"I bet you're both dying to know what your big surprise is! Well, only only only only only only-"

My brother's game glitched and Wheatley ended up saying THIS!

CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!

THE COLORS

THIS.

I MUST MAKE SOMETHING WITH THESE COLORS.

omg I will forever be in awe at the colorfulness of sea slugs. I went and searched "sea slug" up on google and it's just amazing

...

It is 10:00 PM

I have been on the computer since roughly 12:00 PM

This is kinda sad.

Although I was using a reference to draw Azurith until like 5:00.

WANNA SEE HIM!?!?

Yaay it's Azurith. <3

I think I might try drawing GLaDOS now since I have all these screenshots sitting here waiting to be used. And the only other thing I'm doing right now is internet surfing and occasionally going back to minecraft and durping a bit on the skyblock survival world the server I play on has set up.

lol?

I... ah, I don't think I need to be told to pick her up.

Look at me being paranoid

I'm being all paranoid about what I posted while I was worrying over the roleplay. Seriously, digi!? Why would you get paranoid about that!?

I'm allowed to talk about anything I FREAKING WANT on MY BLOG.



Whenever I type a sentence starting with "look at me" I want to type "look at me still talking when there's science to do." I finished Portal 1 recently. Still Alive lyrics. :)

oh

Oh, well. That explains everything.

Haha, none of you know what I'm talking about. :)

Anyway, I played Portal 2 up until The Fall, now I'm gonna take a break and roleplay for a bit I guess.

I noclipped to GLaDOS's chamber and took a whole bunch of screenies of her for reference purposes. Her animation wasn't triggered yet so she was just hanging there, motionless. Really easy to take screenies of her.

Augh

The roleplay is being ignored. o_______o

Partner's been online. I've seen her. I am a stalker.

I stalked over to a reply on DA from 2 hours ago.

I'm craving roleplaying. The minecraft forum roleplay I'm in is getting really boring really fast.

I'm too paranoid to bug her with a note, though...



...this is my blog, I can talk about what I want. Go away you people who don't like my being obsessed over my roleplaying.

I know people have lives, but...

Haven't roleplayed since the 26th, really hoping that this isn't permanent. I don't want it to die! My partner's usually on all day on the weekends...

Am I addicted to roleplaying or something now? I'm noticing I'm getting grumpy and pretty much out of whack when I don't roleplay for a while...


Anyway, I think I'm going to scan a piece of paper with a whole bunch of sketches and general fooling around on it, including a practice of GLaDOS's wires and the whole of GLaDOS herself, but in a lazy easy to do pose. I drew her so she's basically covering up all her hard to draw spots with her easy to draw spots.

And after I do that I think I'm going to log into my brother's steam and download Portal 2 to my computer and play it. We both know pretty much all of each other's passwords. He has two he uses regularly, and I have 2 I hardly use anymore and two that I use a lot.

Not that I'm writing them down here. I'm not stupid.

officially bored, no idea why I'm writing this

As the title states, I am bored and I have no idea why I'm even writing this.

But who cares. It's my blog, I can do what I want. Like posting links to the roleplays I'm in for no good reason.

I think I keep posting them because I like to show off what I've been doing. It's the same with my art, and I do consider roleplaying art to some extent. Goes under the writing category. It is technically writing. Well, forum based roleplaying is. And I guess instant chat based roleplaying maybe too? In-game roleplaying isn't really... that's just goofing around playing a game.

I started writing this post to say what I just ate. How'd I get talking about roleplaying? Look at me still talking when there's Science to do wandering horribly off (the intended) topic.

But you know what? I don't care! As I previously stated, this is my blog on a site with almost no community and I have no followers and I can do whatever I want!

I'm serious, Blogger is, like, dead. Squished under Tumblr and all those sites.

I think.

I don't know.

That's what it looks like to me.

And I rather like it that way. I have no followers, so I don't have to worry about anyone getting offended by what I post or the random post spam I sometimes post when I feel like posting a whole bunch of short posts. And if anyone DOES decide to follow me in the future, I guess they'll just have to learn to deal with my random crap I word vomit all over this blog.

This blog consists of 90% word vomit. It's nice to have some place to just put it all in words. And here I don't have to worry about annoying anyone (like I would if I word vomited out loud :/ ) and I can still have the knowledge that people will read this and perhaps care about whatever I'm doing.

Although no one comments and that slightly confuses me. I have the anonymous commenting turned on for all you people without a Blogger account! XD

Anyway, I just had a small bag of popcorn, an Oh Henry bar, and I'm still drinking an orange pop.

so freaking RUDE

And while I'm still angry, I'd like to mention that the 4 year olds who live on the same street as me are wholefully rude. Me and my brother were coming home the other day from walking our dog, and the little kids were out biking.

Then, one of the boys (who had training wheels, by the way. Learn to balance, kid >:/ ) started yelling at us "Hey, people! Go away! Hey you people! GO AWAY! Go away or you're gonna get smashed!" And general things like that. Being me, I just shook it off at the time, joking a bit to my brother about it and not snapping something back at the kid.

But that was just freaking RUDE! The way he said it...

It reminded me of the boys me and my friends used to have to tolerate when I lived in a minihome park. They were freaking awful. They had their own little base in the forest near the houses, and we had our own little clearing to play in in the same forest. If they hadn't decided to periodically come and bug us, we would have avoided eachother and everything would have been fine.

But noooo, of course they couldn't do that! Every single freaking time we were all outside at the same time, they would come and harass us. Wouldn't leave us alone. Every time we built something in our little clearing out of sticks, they would come and destroy it. Once we left for two minutes to go show my friends' mom our little lean-to thing we made, and just as we got back, one of the boys broke it and ran off.

And when we had gotten tired of them wrecking everything we made, we dragged a whole bunch of branches over to my backyard, where there was a little mini-forest, and started building a shelter there. We figured it would be safe, because it was in my backyard. 


OF COURSE IT WASN'T SAFE! They tried TWO TIMES, maybe more to come and wreck it.

IT WAS IN MY BACKYARD. ON MY PROPERTY. AND THEY TRIED TO WRECK IT.


We chased them away every time, of course. Retards.

Another time, we were stopping them from catching frogs and probably most likely killing them. I mean, I wouldn't put it past them to kill frogs for fun. They had BB guns, too, so it's not like they couldn't do it.

We were throwing their buckets around and dumping out the frogs and stuff like that, and they eventually got out their BB guns and threatened to shoot us. We were going away, everyone running but me. I didn't believe they would shoot. They had only shot at the ground before, or shot at us with empty guns, which sound the same as full ones.

But one of them actually fires off several shots at me, and I felt a brief sting on the back of my neck. It took me a second to realize that he had actually shot me.

We went back to my house, and told my parents. It turns out that shooting anyone with ANY sort of gun is against the law, so we called the police.

After a bunch of official stuff, we had to find out where the kid that had shot me lived. We asked one of his friends' moms, but she only knew the general location. We went to the street she had said, and caught him coming right out of his house. I smiled smugly at him.

The look on his face was priceless.

He got a visit from the police soon after, and it turns out he could have actually gone to jail if he were older. I won't lie, but hearing that felt very, very good. My friends and I and the boys are sworn enemies.

His behavior hardly changed after that, though, because he and his friends were right back to the usual, bugging us and all that.

They're jerks.

So freaking bored

I'm sooo bored right now. Roleplays are way too quiet for my liking, got bored of Minecraft again (you tend to get bored of things when you've been playing them for a year), went to Animal Jam for 2 minutes and got reminded that it's now crap...

Yes. I used to love Animal Jam. It was a fun little thing when it first came up, but now it's centered around getting the people who make it money.

I had a wolf with some dragon wings and spartan armor before there were memberships. Then the memberships came out and the dragon wings and the armor popped off my wolf and back into my item/clothes/whatever list. At first I was confused, then I realized that they were now members only items.


SERIOUSLY!?

I can see them ADDING members only items, but not turning items that were previously in the game members only!

I was enraged, and still am now. Shame that you can't make words on the internet ooze venom.

Anyway, I went back like 15 minuted ago, and found that they had added pets. I found an adoption thingie close to the starting area, so I went and gave my would be pet colors and a name. Then I clicked "adopt."

Pets were members only. Go figure.


THEY LET YOU ACCESS THE ADOPTION WINDOW, DESIGN THE FREAKING PET AND EVEN NAME IT, THEN SAY "NOPE, MEMBERS ONLY"!?

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC KIDS, I AM SO VERY FREAKING DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!

Great, I'm being msn'd. Can't rant anymore.

Minecraft Companion Cube

I swear this took over a thousand blocks of wool.

I spend HOURS in my sheep farm, and had to repair said sheep farm thrice at the least.

DFBHBSAKBDADBHBSJA and a roleplay

MINECRAFT HATES ME

I'M TRYING TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT BUT WHEN I JOINED THE SERVER IT WAS NIGHT AND NOW IT'S RAINING

Anyway, once I get that screenshot of my COMPANION CUBE it will be on here and on my DeviantART.

...

In every single roleplay I have been it, I have somehow managed to embarrass myself in some way.

Usually by having no idea what the heck is going on.

I'm serious. I'm clueless half the time. And then I post something insanely stupid because I just don't get what's going on.

...And it really doesn't help that the people I roleplay with forget to write in proper details. I can't see what's in your head, people!


...

And I really don't know why I'm writing about my Portal roleplay here, but who cares. I like talking about what I've been doing.

Liz is exploring old Aperture, and just narrowly escaped being dissolved in acid along with a faulty section of catwalk that broke off. She is now contemplating kicking an android which is repeating "testing" in a VERY annoying voice into the acid lake.

And GLaDOS is acting like some sort of paranoid weird mother thing.

I mean, she knows that stasis is the thing Liz is scared of most, and so she puts her in it FOR DEFENDING HER CAT, and then lets her go exploring in old Aperture and starts worrying about her safety!?

She is TERRIFIED

All GLaDOS wants is a blood sample... or so she says.


Poor Liz.

I'm so glad I'm not you.

Even if you're half based on me.

Oh God

How does one calm down a ticked supercomputer that goes by the name of GLaDOS!?

Liz decided to get mad at her for punishing her cat for spazzing out and scratching her face because of catnip SHE PROVIDED and then GLaDOS put her in stasis (the cat's with ATLAS and P-Body) and now she's standing in an operating room with android limbs everywhere, begging forgiveness.

LIZ, WHERE DID YOU GO SO WRONG!?

New server... and whoa

Whoa. This new look...

Guess I'm going to have to get used to it.



Anyway, I started playing Minecraft again because of this little whitelisted server, Aversion. Really fun, nice community, all that blah. :) I recreated my house from Sanguine Prison (yes, I actually escaped on a prison server) on it and it looks awesome. :) Go ask to be whitelisted, you'll enjoy the server A LOT. It's on hard mode, and aims for a mostly vanilla feel.

The creator (sarpynom), and ZheNinja are both Portal fans like myself, and so we had a good conversation about that, leading me to change my skin from an Aether Valkyrie to GLaDOS. I was really torn between Chell and GLaDOS but I picked everyone's favorite AI in the end. <3

I have like 5 or 6 stacks of wool so far because I've been going back to a big herd of sheep every day and shearing a stack a day from them. I want to make a portal pixel art or something near spawn. I have the pixels for the space core on a tab, and I found this really neat companion cube house on DeviantART that I SO HAVE TO DO.

Screenshot time. The texture pack I'm using is Dokucraft Light in all the pictures except the first.

The view from my balcony in the morning.

My new skin. Yes, that's one of my two cats in the background.

This is my house from the outside. The whole biome I have all to myself is full of mountains and the like. I love it.

Augh

post spam


Do I really have to remind myself that the people I RP with have a life?

Apparently I do, because I've found myself growing increasingly impatient as I wait for people to reply to the roleplays I'm in.

I swear, everyone goes mute right after I post.

I've managed to get myself computer time from 6 to 9 (PM duh), and I'm rather happy about that. It means I can finally roleplay consistently, as everyone I roleplay with gets on around 5 or 6. My computer time used to be 1 to 3, and the only person I was able to roleplay with while they were online was Cheesence on the Minecraft forum roleplays I'm in.

My life on the computer is half roleplaying. I love it. :3

To My Honor as best as I can remember it. X_x

I know I have a piece of paper from the Canada Cord ceremony somewhere with the song on it but I think I packed it or something.

ohmah

I just looked at a blue rubber band on the table in a portal shape and thought "portal"

Urgh

I'm addicted

UH

My 2 day old milk went solid in my glass O_o

throwing pineapples at GLaDOS

that's all I have to say

durp

Uuuuhhhhhh...

Well, here's one of the durpy versions of the GLaDOS Snakedance. Extremely sped up, as you might have guessed.

Uhh

So, I started a new game on Portal 2 for Xbox, and currently I've just gotten punched into that pit by the moron.

During the core transfer scene, before I pressed the button, I just sat there staring at GLaDOS.

The way she moves in that scene... it's almost hypnotic... snakelike...

"Don't. Do it." She said that so many times, it got really just blah. >_>

Anyway, I would've just sat there for another few hours and stared at her, but my brother wanted to do the commentary, so I had to go and press the button.

I tell myself I was staring at her to be able to draw her better, but I think the fangirl part of me had some influence in that, too.

Long Fall Socks

So, my brother's bday today. We went downtown to this awesome store that has a whole bunch of cool geeky video game stuff and bought a whole bunch of Minecraft and Portal loot.

I used $10 from Easter to buy some long fall boot socks. I'm wearing them right now. And I had to go and use a needle and thread to fix parts where it was coming apart. Still <3 them though.

My bro got a Portal shirt with gels and a companion cube on it, a companion cube plushie, Minecraft magnets, a cardboard creeper head, and a foam Minecraft sword.

I saw a turret flashlight. I WANT THE TURRET FLASHLIGHT!

OMG

Ugh. MY FINGER. (and a Portal story!)

You know you're not having a good day when you fingernail that had been broken halfway across about 3 mm. behind the flesh line decides to break more, and you end up having to pull it off.

Then the bandage wouldn't stick and I had to tape it on.

I taped a bandage on my finger.

I taped a bandage on my finger.

*sigh*

Y'know about my obsession with portal? Well, obsessions lead to roleplays. It's pretty random since it started out as the question "Um, hi. Can I sit on you or something?" on this ask GLaDOS deviation by the person I'm currently roleplaying with. My charrie, Liz (actually, Elizabeth. Liz is a nickname. :P), is still having a bit of a hard time getting used to the fact that GLaDOS is actually being nice to her.

This is partially due to the fact that GLaDOS had no idea that Liz was 13 years old, and so when she arrived at Aperture after getting high (and insane!) off of sugar she was put into testing, where GLaDOS proceeded to be her usual (maybe not so passive) passive aggressive self by first dropping her into a glass box and bouncing her around in a room coated in repulsion gel, then dropping lang fall boots onto her head, then dumping her out of an excursion funnel, almost breaking her back.

And then the next day when Liz woke up after being excused to a relaxation chamber for the night (and GLaDOS had used aromatherapy to help with the back pain), she told GLaDOS how old she was and GLaDOS got a lot nicer all of a sudden. She even apologized for anything offensive the previous day and wouldn't let Liz test.

And that sums up all the important stuff that happened on DeviantART, and half of it was erased by stupid comments not showing. The comments not showing up started halfway into the testing when Liz was busy taking apart a turret.

Now for the real reason why I was posting this.

I wanted to write a little scene from my... daydreams, you could call them. Only they're more like stories than anything else. It's like a movie in my head, and the only downside is I tend to bounce around a lot in my room when things get actiony.

They have taken on many different themes, depending on what I'm into. And what I'm into right now is Portal, sooo... Portal themed daydreaming! If the characters aren't that in character, it's because I tend to warp things to my liking, creating an alternate universe where I can play out stories to my liking. And then I go and create more alternate universes where things went different ways, and I tend to use time traveling a lot, so every time I do that I make an AU because of a cool little paradox guard I thought up. Basically, when you go back in time, you create an AU where you went back in time, and the original universe stays untouched.

Anyway, I'm warning you here: the Portal AU my daydreams mainly take place in contains a bit of ChellDOS if you squint. They're really good friends, and Chell's been uploaded into GLaDOS's mind while her body was being regenerated 3 times, a month at a time. And Caroline had her body back, and Cave Johnson was put in stasis before he died and is now back and healthy and in charge of the human side of Aperture, with GLaDOS in charge of pretty much everything else. Any by human side I mean hiring people and all that.

So, a small repair scene coming up because I wanted to. Don't expect too many of these little scenes from my daydreams.

--

Chell walked up to the door of the central AI chamber, her multi-tool screwdriver-wrench thingymabob in hand. As she expected, GLaDOS had left it on the motion activated setting, so it opened for her when she walked up to it. She walked in and GLaDOS swung her chassis around to face her, her optic whirring in a feeble attempt to bring her into focus.

"Repair time!" Chell said cheerfully, mostly because she knew how much GLaDOS hated it when her optic was broken and she had to fix it.

GLaDOS made a sound that could only be described as a sigh and started lowering herself down. "I never used to break like this, you know. I wouldn't be surprised if you are making me break."

"Oh, come on, you know I'd never do that." Chell gently grabbed GLaDOS's faceplate, pulling her into the best position for her to work on her optic.

"I never know what you would do, you crazy lunatic." GlaDOS said, and pulled back what would pass as her eyelids as far as they would go, allowing Chell access to her optic. Chell reached in and cut the wires connecting GLaDOS's optic to the rest of her, and the bright yellow light faded away as the AI jumped at her sudden loss of sight.

Chell put the defective optic down on the ground and pulled a new one out of the pocket of her pants. She started to connect the wires, fairly certain she wasn't doing anything wrong because she had, after all, done this about 10 times now. The majority of those times were when the nanobots decided to rebel against GLaDOS and had started out by disabling her optic over and over again to get the hang of breaking things instead of fixing them.

It didn't help that GLaDOS was... well, the only acceptable word for what she was doing was squirming. Her head was moving a bit as a result of the movement of the rest of her body; not much, but still enough to make Chell worry she was going to horribly mess something up.

"Hold still, will you, Gladdy?" She said, failing to keep the annoyance out of her voice.

"It's not my fault your brain damaged mind can't even figure out how to replace my optic."

"It would go a lot faster if you would just stay still," Chell sighed. GLaDOS stopped moving shortly after.

Chell connected the last wire and GLaDOS's optic lit up. After checking that everything was connected and working, Chell stepped back. Getting the hint, GLaDOS rose back up towards the ceiling and began loudly calibrating her brand new optic.

Smiling, Chell walked over to the wall and a computer slid out of it, courtesy of GLaDOS. She stopped in front of the computer and began to check GLaDOS's files to see if the new optic was connecting properly. This was the only computer in the entire facility that could access GLaDOS's files.

Finding nothing wrong, she turned back towards GLaDOS, who was regarding her with that "I want you to do something for me" look.

"The gel mixing stations are clogged up." She said blandly. "Why don't you go and unclog them for me since you're being so helpful today?"

"What? Bu-"

"Ah ah ah. No buts. Now scurry along like an obedient little human and go do what I asked please, Chelly?"

Chell sighed, and started walking towards the door when she was grabbed around the waist by a large metal claw and lifted onto GLaDOS's back.

"I suppose," GlaDOS said, "that you could stay in here a little longer though. Just in case my optic suddenly decides to break again."

Chell silently grinned and leaned back against a clump of wires, making herself comfortable while GLaDOS used multiple screens to monitor the facility and look at files and security feed, gently rotating to look from screen to screen.

The portal gifs out there are awesome.
