I come with photos! Whoo!
These are some teddies my aunt brought back from Europe for us, I’m pretty sure Nan said she got them in Austria, but it could have been Germany. The one on the left is mine, I need a name for it. Any ideas?
A slightly crappy picture (sorry) of a mini-wreath ornament I made from leather, hemp, wooden beads and bells. It’s nice to hold, weighted but not too much so. It was time consuming to make, though. Like it?
I wrote a different post earlier about the alphasmart, because she arrived on Friday and I was utterly entranced by the fact that I finally had my hands on an AlphaSmart. Part of me keeps going “It’s not the model you wanted,” but still, even if she has a few years on her, has travelled from farther away than I have even gone and is a bit on the clacky side… I love her!
Other than last months Post-O-Rama because of NaPoBloMo I haven’t been writing all that much of late. I try but I am the internets bitch and Google Reader has enslaved me, etc, etc. This, however? I can write almost anywhere I want to. If I have a sudden idea for another story while I’m typing I can quickly switch to another file and start writing that and get it off my chest so that I can keep going on what I had been writing. It’s a Blessing in a Bad Taste of Plastic. 
I do lament the lack of actual italics but I can write it in whats known as MarkDown, which is using simple symbols to mark places of formatting, such as _ around things I want italic, * around things I want bold and if I send the text to WriteMonkey I can export that as HTML because that program recognises the MarkDown for what it is supposed to be.
I’ll admit that other than few things I ended up deleting I have only really started on a HP AU Fanfic that may never see the light of day outside my computer… but writing is writing, right? 
For those who have forgotten, my AS I was bidding for on Ebay (Did I talk about that on here?!) is an AlphaSmart 3000. The model is from the early 2000’s though which year I can’t quite remember. It’s also second hand from a school (don’t ask me which, I covered the sharpie in stickers) but there’s hardly a scratch on it. I’m trying a simple mod on the keyboard which won’t harm it but should make the effort of the keys less and thus make it better on my poor, much abused fingers. For now I’ve just been adapting to it, the keyboard is actually a rather decent size and the AS itself really isn’t that heavy at all though I intend on making it a bag or something so I don’t drop it, despite thee sturdiness of the machine. I mist confess every time I look at it and more often when I pick her up to use her I get all excited inside because I had to wait two and a half freaking years before I could even get my nimble little fingers onto an old model!
So. Who has name ideas for my baby girl?
Teddies and dolls and softies and Echo and being a little childish sometimes. I love going for walks with my friends to stick my toys on fences and bushes to take pictures and giggle.
I love my rainbow ribbon.
And you know what? I’m okay with that.
Okay, so. No Merlin because… well because I found myself ranting about Gwen because I can’t make sense of the woman even though she is buckets of awesome… (on the BBC’s Merlin. Other Gwens make me go all Smashdown on their faces…)
And I’m pretty sure Merlin is supposed to be older.
I did find some amazing fanfiction though, ala “A Slow Awakening (Morgana/Arthur)” by . (NC-17, NSFW).
“Sin Alone (Morgana/Arthur)” by . (NC-17, NSFW).
” The Brush of Wildfire” by . (NC-17, NSFW).
You can thank me later ;D
Echo and I went on a walk with Nicole today, we took plenty of pics which I’ll probably edit and post up tomorrow. It was fun, I’m working on a design for Echo’s own little backpack, too. Maybe a felt hat…
Mother does many a strange thing, I have been here only four days and I know this. Still, it’s better than some toddler having me and smushing chocolate ice cream into my lovely fur.
Er, well I think it is. Though the jumper and “hair accessory” she has been making me wear makes me wonder.
Nonetheless, she has some something I think is fun. She’s given me my own Flickr Page! I mean, a bear with their own flickr, who would have known? And it turns out I’m not the only one who has one, either! I found a few other bears on there. I do hope they reply to my comments or my photos.
Mother also says I’m allowed to write on here sometimes as having my own blog would be too much trouble for her. I do believe she’s being a bit silly, just because she’s typing while I dictate too her…
Anyway, come check out my flickr and feel free to drop a comment or two!
