Reposted from a far older post, because I adore the quote I came up with, and love occasionally paging back to see how far I've come, and all I've been through emotionally. From MY side.
"It's dizzying to find you've been looking into a mirror this whole time... For years.
Just because the reflection isn't what you're used to, doesn't mean it's not you."
When old addictions come back to unexpectedly and LOUDLY bite you on the ass, then hit you over the head with a heavy spellbook for DARING to ever have 'forgotten' them... Bah... Just what I wanted back...
... Yep....

... Damn snarky-ass annoying spellcasters who think they're better than everything and everyone on the planet... -.-
I DIDN'T NEED ANOTHER ONE, GUYS!!! DAMNIT!!!
*cough, looks miserable*
Thwei - Death Knight - Blood Elf - Egotistical, Sadistic, blood-thirsty ex-Paladin. Likes pissing people off in unusual or interesting ways just to get reactions from them, usually trying to tempt a fight. (He can be a bit suicidal in such a way at times.) Has a soulshard shoved in his chest that vaguely keeps him 'tolerable' and not JUST a homicidal psychopath. (Tall, Warriors build, long hair that was once black, but has been bleached to a blueish gray by frost and magic; keeps it tied into a messy ponytail.) Likes skinning his fallen enemies and sewing their skins with fine cloth into nice boots.
Threyavan - Paladin - Blood Elf - The antitheses of Thwei, Threyavan is the Paladin Thwei WAS... Good natured, caring, fiercely defensive of his race and loved ones, even in spite of being 'banished' for defending his twin brother a bit too viciously. (Tall, Warriors build from much training with sword and shield, long black hair, often tied into a messy ponytail.) Likes working with fine minerals and gems.
Kaeldwyn - Warlock - Blood Elf - Likewise Egotistical and Sadistic, sometimes more than a little Masochistic. Master Demonologist. Ex-Follow of Kael'thas, Follower of Illidan (Illidari Shadowlord). Felblood. Likes keeping 'pets' of as many 'higher races' as he can get his mitts on, as well as anything/anyone else he can lure into it. Though in spite of this he can be quite caring and friendly, so long as you aren't scared off by his demon-side. (Tall and willowy, wiry/athletic build, demon horns, long black hair that is often partially bound up in a fancy topknot; though sometimes he lets the color fade, and it goes back to it's magic-bleached silver.) Herbologist/Alchemist.
Fahr - Hunter - Night Elf (WAS a Blood Elf) - Threyavan/Thwei's twin brother, friendly (overly), Social (overly), Alcoholic, cheerful, womanizing little prat. (Though that's calmed some due to his new fiance, he still tends to at least LOOK.) Medium height, very wiry build, long hair always tied neatly back in a no-nonsense ponytail, the color sometimes blue, sometimes green.) Miner/Engineer.
Kwei - Rogue - Blood Elf (Ex-Forsaken) - Overly friendly/Cheerful, undeniably a Rogue, has been a Highwayman, and calling him an 'incorrigible rake' would not be wrong in the least! He's ex-Forsaken, but he made a convoluted deal with one of the Burning Legion in order to take the body of one of the Blood Elves, A Felblood, actually (Though he fights that addiction.), a choice he sometimes regrets, but ever since the demon maimed him for trying to skip out on his "deal" (ripped out his eyes, lots of other nastyness he had to get fixed via complex magics.)... He hunted down the Demon's true name, inscribed up some enchanted weapons and killed it for good... Well, He feels "Much better now!!!"... Still has his Blood Elf form, and spends WAY too much time in some of the less reputable inns in Silvermoon City ever since. (Not that this is any different than before!) (Short-to-Medium height, stereotypical Rogueish build, long hair always kept tied back in a very messy ponytail that looks like he slept in it, his hair is artificially colored a VIBRANT red shade more often than not. Naturally it is dark blonde.) Leatherworker, Master Blacksmith.
Valsheyrath - Mage - Blood Elf - Cute, adorable, charming, sometimes a little shy, but with a dark side not many get to see. He likes 'nice robes' of pretty or soft/fancy materials, and books, normally curled up somewhere with a heavy arcane tome, dressed in some fancy or finely crafted robes, sipping at some hot tea. He's also a natural ginger, pale red hair with very fair skin and freckles, something he's often teased about, though he tolerates such with bored apathy. He can't stand the Forsaken, and in fact has (on occasion) worked willingly with the Scarlet Crusade, though he'll never confirm or deny the fact, he enjoys wearing the tabard, sometimes just to see if he can get a reaction, usually from the Forsaken, or those exceptionally loyal to them. Though when cornered or questioned he fakes innocence. (Very skinny, bookish, 'delicate', even. Long light red hair, tied carefully in a ponytail, pulled over one shoulder.) Enchanter.
Kianomyr - Priest (Shadow) - Blood Elf - Shadowy, mysterious, can't stand close contact with others (on account of his masochistic tendency to sharpen small shards of mana crystals to thread through his skin wherever he deems fit), power-hungry to an insane degree. Keeps dancing the line of his mana addiction, occasionally nearly pushing it 'too far' in his overzealous attempts for more power. (Average height/build, nondescript mousy brownish-blond hair, oft twisted up in a ponytail, though sometimes not.) Enchanter/Tailor.
Melchom - Shaman - Goblin - Annoyingly loud, sure of himself, confident, and more than willing to tell you _all_ about his glory days on the Isle of Kezan... Before it got blown up, of course. don't make comments about his height, he hates that, and will oft more than cheerfully offer to 'fix' any of the taller races 'height issues' in regard to such statements. Especially since he's a touch... Short, even for a Goblin. An when his hair isn't hidden under some form of 'dashing' hat or other, it's tied back in a short puff-ball ponytail. Herbalist/Alchimist.
Zairzen - Warrior - Blood Elf - Young('teenage'), cheerful, often innocent-bordering-on-naive, charming, but quick to rile if you poke at him too much (And hold a grudge for a while.). Fiercely loyal. "Pet" and devoted admirer/lovesick puppy of Kaeldwyn. Among many other factors. (long fiery red hair, very vivid and natural color. Sometimes tied back in a neat and proper ponytail, but most of the time he just wears it down, only bothering to brush it when demanded to by someone he cares to listen to.) Miner/Engineer... Aka; Collector of EVERYTHING SHINY, and crafter of 'neat gadgets!'. Pierced ears, decorated with finely crafted gold earcuffs, likewise he has a strange black sigil branded onto his right shoulderblade.
Tyrnan - Rogue (Sometimes Mage) - Worgen (Sometimes Night Elf) - Young('teenage'), klutzy, shy, super skittish, younger than Zair, but can be a bit more charming, at least in a quiet/hesitant way, if you're patient enough. (As a worgen/Rogue he has long blond hair, tied back in a neat ponytail, and pale skin. As a Night Elf/Mage he has dusky violet skin and long silver/pale lavender hair, often tied back in a mimicry of Kaeldwyn's hairstyle.) Blushes easily. He always wears a fine gold chain around his neck with a strange sigil on the pendant.
And THOSE ten are just "original characters" I've created in World of Warcraft... The list goes on for OTHER characters who I've either RPed SOMEWHERE, or that just sometimes are so loud and colorful, that they show up on occasion, just to harass my others, or sometimes to say their own version of "Hello.".

*cough* Irritated death knight is irritated... (Understatement.)
-.-;; At least now he's not so drunk the bartenders refuse him service...
Too much WoW, even more RP... Not enough sleep... Foolish threads on the WoW forums have been created.
One for the General Forum -> http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1127487590?page=1
A rather amusing 5-pages-and-counting... An array of replies from Trolling to support and opposition... A good mix in my mind. I LOVE that Blizz is throwing in plots that illicit a nice emotional responce.
And one on the Feathermoon Forums... -> http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1126998503?page=1#4
Kinda fishing for some RP options outta that one... lol Unlikely, but... *shrug* Honestly, if Blizz keeps on, I might faction-swap my death knight... :/ Argent Tournament work be damned.
Though the Alliance ain't doing much better from what I hear... Maybe best just shelf this one 'till next xpac if things get to... Headache-y. Blah.
Who knows... Cataclysm will tell... Though...
OI!! GWYNN!! Get yer butt in WoW. I WANNA PLOT AN EPIC PvP PLOT!!!!
... Just had a dream that my GF turned me over to the Alliance...
.... Jesus christ I NEED to get out more...
@.@;; World of Warcrack has invaded my damn DREAMS. D:
(... Again!)
I need a damn life... >.<;;
... Oh, well... At least it wasn't the dream of endlessly questing in the Barrens? XD
Huh... It IS about that time again, innit?
J/K.
Anyway, most of the same junk as last year, really... o.o;;
And this time I'll leave off the whining and angsting and shit. I still WANT an Electric Guitar and a whole bunch of crap that's expensive, but, yahhh... WTF ever.

Bah, Actually pretty much ANYTHING J!NX makes that is WoW related and has to do with The Horde, Blood Elves, or Death Knights is full of win and awesome in my mind. Just FYI.
Aside from that particular addiction for a moment...
A Copy of any of the Evil Dead movies wouldn't go amiss, either.
... I already own both the Predator flicks and AVP. (AVP:R DIDN'T Exist, so don't bother...) But! A copy of the Alien films could be cool.
Oh, and ANYthing Castlevania-related would be AWESOME! :D It's my other addiction. :3

I ALREADY bought myself a copy of 'Snow Crash', as well as ThinkGeek's 'Cosa Nostra Pizza company' t-shirt, XP So... Heh, that's why they are not on the list this year. :D
I'll probably keep going back and editing this when I remember. lol.
(And yes, Witty... The Tribbles are STILL on the list. /rasp)
This post doesn't exist. lol.
>.>;; Feel free to completely ignore this post... Well, unless you're curious, but no mocking! XD
o.o;; I decided to save my WoW RP notes here, as well as on my PC, this way I can access them from other computers if I needed to.
... Though god only knows why the HELL I might need to do that... O.o;;
Eeh, anyway...
<.<;; That is all.
Thwei Shadowsong (Blood Elf, Death Knight, L80)
The first thing you notice is how pale he is, even for one of the Sin'dorei. The only splashes of color can be found in the silvery traces of scars that run across his body, mostly trailing to vanish under his clothes.
The next thing one might notice is the eerie chill that accompanies his presence, even though the slight smirk he offers you seems friendly enough, something makes you wary... Perhaps the feeling comes from the scent of blood and fel magic that seems to cling to him..?
The oddly uncared for state of his hair and clothes makes it obvious he cares little for such details as much as others of his race, as the spatters of both dried and fresh blood stains can attest...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Threyavan SilverLight (Blood Elf, Paladin, L12 {Thwei before he became a DK})
At a glance one can easily tell that he takes much in life seriously, his armor is kept in top condition, clearly just as cared for as the rest of his appearance.
From the way he stands, it's clear he's well disciplined and cares much for keeping up an appearance that conveys this... However it's all in odd counterpoint to other things easily noticed about him, the trail of metal earrings staggering up his gracefully pointed ears, and the traces of ink, tattoos curling across his skin, hints peeking from the cuffs of his bracers, and the collar of his shirt indicate he's likely spent much time among the other Orcs and Trolls...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaeldwyn Sunfire (Blood Elf, Warlock, L43)
Kaeldwyn seems highly distracted, and yet he meets your gaze and smirks slightly, the expression seems oddly condescending for something so unremarkable, as if he thinks he knows something you don't...
The black freshly inked runes that circle his wrists indicate an interest in the arcane, but what exactly... One would be unsure about at just a glance...
Aside from the most noticeable, a lingering look would yield a curious observation about the way he stands and how he holds himself, his poise speaking of strong self-discipline and more strength than one would think from a follower of the arcane...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fahr SilverLight (Blood Elf, Hunter, L61)
Unlike many of his race, it's clear he doesn't care to keep his gear in perfect shape, nor does he care the condition of his hair... However the smudges of road dust and blood don't at all detract from his looks, if anything they seem more just a part of what makes him who he is.
... Those sensitive to it might notice that the scent and feel of fel magic that seems to cling heavily to most all of the Sen'dorei is unusually faint on him.
The Horde insignia, pinned with care to his chest indicates his standing on that matter clearly, but oddly none of that is overly reflected in his seemingly carefree attitude and stance.
As if only now realizing you watching him, he meets your gaze and smiles charmingly, his vividly green eyes sparkling with amusement, he nods slightly to you before going back to what he was doing.
{When in cities it's rather obvious he'd rather be elsewhere, especially neutral cities.}
((This mood icon fits my current mood perfectly... lol, I _remember_ that episode. Exhausted/Sleepy/Startled/Bzuh?!/O.O/O.o/>.o is me.))
Bah... I'm a royal f-ing failure. MY costume isn't going to be done in time for Halloween.
>.< Damnit.
Though on the up side, it will eventually be done! I actually figured out almost all those damn bits that were giving me so much damn trouble! The Pattern and instructions were f**ked up beyond belief, cursing the creators of McCall's patterns to the deepest depths of hell, I took a break and had an epiphany. XP Figured out the pants at long last!!! Should fix a pleat and need to stitch in the snaps, but that'll be EASY. :3
When I next find the energy again to work on it all, likely after some sleep at LEAST, I need to attach the sleeves, sew the bottom panels together and attach them, then just stitch the lining to the jacket, and adding the collar when I do. XP All-in-all not much work is left, and yet MORE than enough of it is that there's probably no way in hell I'll be able to finish it before the party tomorrow. :/ Suckage.
Thank god for backup ideas, huh?
Heh, Guess I'm just going to have to dig out the old black robes again. Got some pointy ears from the Halloween shop today, as well as some other supplies in case I needed 'em for an emergency improvised costume.
Nowhere NEAR as cool as what I was wanting, but.... Meh. WTF ever.
Gwynn's gonna help me improvise, 'n it should be entertaining at least. XP
Hn...
... I used to love Halloween more than anything... Well, I still technically DO, but it's a lot more complicated lately. >.o
I still am freakishly crazy about Halloween, but the problem is that I'm starting go think it perhaps means TOO much to me. I have a b***h of a time angsting over what damn costume to wear, how to create it and piece it together, that I spaz and start to hate my favorite holiday.
It sucks.
Originally I wanted to buy some fabric and hopefully snag a pattern or two to piece together a neat Cosplay outfit for Halloween. I REALLY had wanted to piece together a costume for Kunzite... But it's quickly seeming like that just REALLY won't work. I can't get anyone to loan me the use of a sewing machine, I can't find ANY patterns I could roughly adapt... Found several nice fabrics that I wanted to buy to work with... But jack shit elsewise.
Next thought followed much in line with my standard obsession of "The Lost Boys"... Butttt... My chances of finding that damn jacket are slim to f-king none. So that's mostly out... Though I AM going to check a few thrift shops and whatnot between now and then... Maybe I'll get lucky? (Yah, right.)
So yah... This? Is probably unlikely as hell as well...
Though given my newest haircut, I'm probably just gonna go for a nice cheap-ass copout costume... I don't think ANYone I will be spending Halloween with will get it... But that's cool. Only one friend figured out my Raistlin costume, so it would just be 'tradition' to go with weird-ass semi-obscure junk...
Only problem opting to play Dean Winchester for a night... No one will think I'm dressing up! >.o
Bah, It's aggravating!
There are good days, and there are bad days...
... And then there are REALLY bad days. You know, those days that saying they royally suck is an understatement?
