That's the picture my best friend took as soon as it was finished, I got it Friday afternoon. First one I've gotten done and it huuuuurt. Worth it though.

And personally I hate snow. But we get a fair amount of it here and people freak out and forget to drive whenever it starts snowing.

...wurms are barking at me. Should go back to vanquishing XD

I hear you on that minami. It's just my ignorance that makes me forget not all parts of the world have haps of snow every year :P So I think it's cute when people get excited about it.

@Verene; looks cute. If you are ever taking a second one I would recommend taking this cutey. ;333

It's not ignorance

I get excited when we get snow here, it's so pretty! If I don't take pics of it, my family won't believe it snowed in Texas *lol*
Having snow in Texas and having snow in Hungary is two completely different experience, even though it's the same white fluff ^_^

It started snowing here tonight (I'm in GA). Schools are closed tomorrow so yay I don't have to be up at 6 am to get my daughter ready!

Nemesis-of-the-Gods · Jan 10, 2011, 04:13 AM // 04:13

Quick pop-in here.

This is a reply I should have done a while ago, but didn't have time to do XD

@Minami: You're welcome for liking your cosplay

And that sounds reasonable enough. Yeah no problem, I know how it is to be busy haha XD So some time after the 14th then, sweet.

@Arghore: I really do like the Ice Tooth Cave as a place for the party, I checked it out (saw you there too! haha) it really does capture some sort of essence of Wintersday, it's just the right size, easily accesses-able, and pretty quiet so there shouldn't be spam chat or anything going on XD Sounds like fun to me!
Count me in as a "party people"

And Saturdays work best for me, so that sounds good as well. I believe that I will have free time to attend the party if it is on the 22nd and 29th of Jan. =]
_____________________________________

Now to a more recent topic;

I have no snow here, and I am content with it. I hate the snow T.T (I know, I know, I ruined the mood *snickers*)

And also, if I end up getting that Everlasting Reindeer Tonic from the official contest, I do NOT want it and WILL be selling it for ecto because I am desperate for money at the moment and I really need to buy things such as Vabbian armor, title stuff and etc. so that I can get my 50 points for GW2! And I will be helping out my boyfriend with my money as well (he needs some more weapons for his HoM and etc.), and anything left over I am hoping to get myself some "just-for-fun" items like chaos gloves or something, just because I've wanted them forever XD
Sooo, I REALLY want to sell that tonic haha. Anyone know a good price check for those things? I want to be able to know exactly how much I could get rid of that thing for, I got told an estimate of 1,200-1,350e...but that seemed like a LOT for a tonic. Anyone know for sure?

Can't wait to find out results, good luck to everyone ^^

*disappears*

Aeronwen · Jan 10, 2011, 08:56 AM // 08:56

Nemisis, Do you do piccys of your GW chars? Why not open a comission thread here (hopefully with small rates so someone other than IH can afford it) to make some gold. I love your b and w style, I am sure you could make a useful amount.

Verene, very pretty

I could never have a tattoo, just not brave enough. I think you should ask to see IH's before you have the dragon done.

No snow here and I am hoping we don't have any this year, Britain doesn't seem able to cope.

Perynne · Jan 10, 2011, 10:46 AM // 10:46

We've had an unusually cold winter here so far, with tons of snow. This weekend was actually the first time the temperature warmed up over -10 celsius in a looong time (yesterday it was around +1 celsius! for a few hours anyway). The snow is melting a little bit, but there was over a metre of it on the ground so a small thaw is not gonna make it all disappear.
I love snow and am happy to see it again each year. <3 Last winter I spent in Australia (where it was summer) so this winter I've been doubly glad to experience the cold and the snow.

@Gemini: Haha, yeah, we have the same problem with trains. They're ALWAYS hours late (or completely broken down) during the winter because the rails keep snapping or there's a problem with the train's delicate machinery working in -25 celsius. Each summer, people forget the problems of the previous winter and then act all surprised when it's happening again. :/

@Verene: Ooh, that's a cute tattoo. :3 I got my first tattoo about two years ago so I can still remember the scratchy feeling of clothes on healing skin.

I'm definitely getting another one as soon as I have enough extra money. Not so fond of the pain, but they're beautiful.
Don't worry, it'll only be uncomfortable for a week or two, and then it'll be back to normal!

@frostkisses: I'll keep you in mind if I win a tonic and then decide to sell it.

I will keep it for a few days at least to play around with, but depending on my activity ingame I may or may not sell it.

Flying Ninja Monk · Jan 10, 2011, 02:10 PM // 14:10

Hehe
We don't get snow here :/ Back in UK i loved the snow, but then again, i never had to worry about driving on ice :P
I think some of you will appreciate this link

It really cracked me up the first time round

Morag D · Jan 10, 2011, 04:52 PM // 16:52

ooh partay

might pop in, even though it'll make me feel inappropriate..

love snow, don't mind how much, the more the better (even though anything over 1m is getting a bit tougher to manage)! snow is awesome. I'll never live in a place without snow XD

Minami · Jan 10, 2011, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Morag, I love your winter photos! Sooo pretty! ^_^

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 10, 2011, 05:11 PM // 17:11

Was the date actually already set for the party? I don't see it on the front page.

Verene · Jan 10, 2011, 05:13 PM // 17:13

Haha, IH

I already have more ideas for what I want to get done next. And I can't say I'm anything of a SC fan.

Thanks, Aeronwen and Pery

Yeah, it hurt a lot, but worth it. I had no idea what to expect in terms of pain, but at least it went numb quickly!

Oooh, pretty pictures, Morag. However, I cannot stand snow or winter. I'll happily live somewhere without it

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 10, 2011, 06:07 PM // 18:07

Well, I'm not a fan of tattoo's anyway. But if I would ever get a tattoo, it would be a zergrush on my back.

Flying Ninja Monk · Jan 10, 2011, 06:29 PM // 18:29

Well since i'm sure no one opened the link earlier...

NOV. 23rd
It's starting to snow. The first of the season. The wife & I took out hot toddies and sat in the garden watching the fluffy soft flakes drift gently down, clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It's so beautiful & peaceful.

NOV. 24th
Woke to a lovely blanket of crystal white glistening snow covering as far as the eye could see. What a fantastic sight everything covered with a beautiful white mantel. I shovelled snow for the first time ever and loved it! I did both our driveway & the pavement.
Later that day a snowplough came along & accidently covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled & waved. I waved back & shovelled it away again. The children next door built a snowman with coal for eyes & a carrot for a nose and had a snowball fight - a couple just missed me & hit the car so I threw a couple back & joined in the fun.

NOV. 25th
It snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temp. dropped to around minus 8 degrees. Several branches on our trees & bushes snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shovelled our drive again. Shortly afterwards the snowplough came by & did his trick again! Much of the snow is now brownish/grey.

NOV. 26th
Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush, which soon became ice when the temp. dropped again. Bought snow tyres for both our cars. Fell on my ar$e in the driveway. Went to physio but nothing was broken.

NOV. 27th
Still cold. Sold the wife's car & bought her a 4X4 to get her to work. She slid into a wall & did considerable damage to right wing. Had another 8 inches of white $hite last night. Both vehicles are covered in salt & iced up slush. That ba$tard snowplough came by twice today. Where's that bl00dy shovel?

NOV.28th
More f***ing snow. Not a tree or bush on our property that hasn't been damaged. Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep from freezing to death with candles & a paraffin heater that tipped over & nearly torched the house. I managed to put the flames out but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands. Lost my eyebows & eyelashes. Car hit a f***ing deer on the way to casualty & was written off!

NOV. 29th
F***ing ba$tard white $hite just keeps on coming down. Have to put on every article of clothing just to go to the post box. The little $hits next door ambushed me with snowballs on the way back. I'll shove that carrot so far up the little pricks ar$e$, it'll take a good surgeon hours to find it. If I ever catch that ar$ehole that drives that snowplough I'll chew open his chest & rip out his heart with my teeth. I think the ba$tard hides round the corner & waits for me to finish shovelling & then he accelerates down the street like Michael f***ing Schumacher & buries the f***ing drive again.

NOV. 30th
16 more sodding inches of f***ing snow & f***ing ice & f***ing sleet & God knows what other white $hite fell last night. I am in court in 3 months time for assaulting the snowplough driver with an ice pick. Can't move my f***ing toes. Haven't seen the sun for 5 weeks. Minus 20 & more ba$tard snow is forecast.

For those that are interested :P
Morag those photos are wonderful

They're now my background hehe

Tommy's · Jan 10, 2011, 06:35 PM // 18:35

I did

It describes pretty well how the "snowmood curve" works. And if you wonder, no that is not an existing term

At least not that I'm aware off.

Flying Ninja Monk · Jan 10, 2011, 06:56 PM // 18:56

lmao
Snowmood curve :P
Appreciation on the Y-Axis and time on the X-Axis

I can't believe i'm talking math in an art(/game) forum o.O

Verene · Jan 10, 2011, 06:58 PM // 18:58

Hey, there is a surprising amount of math present in art

Hailfall · Jan 10, 2011, 10:29 PM // 22:29

Oh Cute Tattoo Verene! The spot does look painful a bit.. and i thought both my arms were painful (but at least now i got also GW shala on my arm.. ^^)

Verene · Jan 11, 2011, 04:57 AM // 04:57

It was pretty painful, but I think there must have been a nerve running under there or something, because there was one spot that just didn't go numb. This shows the actual location better...ignore my half-asleep face

And I saw your GW Shala in the other thread, it looks awesome
