Apparently my new picture is a big hit..
O.O
Ok so I was reading and I did a forum search about the VR app for smartphones.
The issue is that it is for phones running on droid.
So not something I can use currently. :(
But I have hope.
Cancer mentioned his phone runs on Windows Mobile. So if something is made, there is a chance he will most likely make it compatible with his own personal phone. Just a thought.
That would make it work for me because that is what my phone runs on.
And it would have VR tech support and help, not a random member. :D
Now to see if this ever happens.
heh
No headache. No hangover.
Just slept a lot more then I normally would.
And I would like a java Monster. Soon.
Last night was fun.
And for the record, I didn't cry and lick my tits. I giggled and had a bit of fun though.
I think that is the point. XD
I just went to the main page and saw a bathroom.
Come on peeps.
Your webcam doesn't need to be in your bathroom.
Just saying.
lol
If I didn't have the issue I had yesterday regarding the site, I'd be freaking out seeing Cancer in my last 10.
Glad to see he checked out the issue. Makes me happy to be on here.
But also glad to see that my ISP blows ass. :D
FYI. If you have Mediacom and they have one of the awesome net outages they are so famous for, and they manage to get it back up. Be warned the next day, shit won't work right.
I couldn't load VR up on any computer in the house. I could load it in the hours after the net outage. I woke up the next morning and nothing. Hardy har har.
Before hopping on my phone to freak out and send admins a message (because I know when an Acolyte can help ya and can't help ya) I did a few normal trouble shooting issues.
The first one was going to isup.me. I got this lovely message. "It's just you. http://vampirerave.com is up."
Second thing I did was clear cache and cookies. I then restarted my computer and power cycled my router for good measure.
Then I checked a different browser. After checking the laptop and the downstairs computer, I decided to check my phone.
During all of this, I knew VR itself was up thanks to isup.me. After being able to access it just fine from my phone, I deduced it was either an IP issue from the site end or the ISP end.
Something I know Acolytes can't check.
Point of this entry? Before running off to admins, try some troubleshooting. The steps are also in the manual, they are also basic internet things to know.
After gaming online for so long, I have learned that clearing cache can solve some of the biggest issues that can pop up. It's pathetic, but it works a lot of the time. xD
Anyways, my ISP sucks. I have a new computer on the way. And...I had a great day at work. :)
COMMENTS
So what ultimately was the problem, and how did you remedy it?
It was my ISP switching something around. What fixed it? I have no idea. I came back later in the afternoon and it worked.
It honestly worked itself out. But it was my ISP being retarded.
I wanted to note that the current layout I have on this profile will move to my other account when that artist finishes the tube she is making of me.
I will proudly display that bitch on this profile. :D
That is a promise.
For anyone that has noticed my awesome dancing kirby on my page *points to address bar for the ones that can't see it*
It is called a favicon.
My other layout had an awesome music note.
Well I'm gonna give the secret.
http://rumblinglankan.com/264/html-code-to-add-a-favicon/
There is a pretty simple tutorial on how to do it there.
:D
New profile up. It's not that nice soft sweet thing I promised.
But it's awesome.
I promise that. :D
I'm thinking about reviving my very dead alt account.
With a new name and look. Probably sometime later this week.
Maybe on the new name. I ♥ the name it has. It means something to me.
Maybe I will act more like my "Harly" self over there. Meaning I'll be more like how I am in guild.
>:D
But I really will redo the profile. I was inspired.
Finally got unlazy and made that new stamp thing I said I was going to make.
I ♥ the little bomb thingy. I wanted to make something with it. :D
COMMENTS
Ohhh that is sooooooo cute!
I ♥ the bomb thingy too!
I love it as well abs !
As always, your graphics are the bomb! (pun intended) lol they are awesome!~
I calmed myself down by doing my last two pact taggies. Figured since I showed off the first one, I'd show off the other two.
And as a guildie of mine so eloquently put it. "Not a single fuck was given that day."
Logging off for a bit. Before I do something that causes me to lose that position I just got.
I'm insulted.
Fucking insulted.
I want to rant about this to someone, but I don't know who. Normally I would go to the house thread, but this has to do with someone there.
And well. I'm fucking insulted by the fact someone waltzes into there and goes and wants to change something that has worked just fine. Since getting there all they have wanted to do is change things in the house.
I like Eternal the way it is. And I'm very upset that my art was called "dated"
I don't want to cause drama, but I'm upset and well this is my journal.
I should be the adult and go message them. But right now I want to rant. I'll message them later. After I calm the fuck down. I'm logging off. Or something.
COMMENTS
There are 3 members I would ask for help on codes. You are one of them. And to think you was on the top ten profiles list Cancer picked. Huh.
You do great work. I have always used what you gave me, shared with me, as you know.
We all have those moments, even with friends... heck I can tell you on one instance where I had to log off due to a conversation with Imagesinwords. I don't even remember what she was saying- as it wasn't the problem. I was simply worked up and needed to get it OUT of my system.
It happens, and when it does- doing as you are is the most mature and constructive thing to do :)
Besides VW is right, your images rock ;)
I'm calmed down for the most part. I'm still a bit annoyed in general, but that has to do mainly with this week still having residual effects on me.
But I won't verbally sodomize someone at this point. :D
dated are you serious? you make the most amazing things.
I don't like changes.
I am serious about that.
I think the information can be updated, that's an obvious, but the images... Well those need to stay the way they are, in my opinion. I love them. When Bones introduced me into the House I was excited. I loved the fact that here was a well thought out, extremely organized House...
... And I don't want it to change.
We have had enough chances... Rat is no longer our's (we'll she is, always will be :P) and Birdy is no longer Birdy (same with her, she's stuck to glue with us as well) but are both under different user names now in the House...
That is about all I can take for changes at this point.
I protest House backgrounds, damnit. I will make cyber pickets and make my Seagull and Ducky mafia stand in protest.
Oh, and did I tell you?
I still wobbers you. :)
Something I will be adding to my profile and possibly stamp when I get around to redoing them. I was browsing dA and stumbled across this. There is a general usage granted on it so yay :)
I feel rather honored tonight.
I'm also giddy for this reason.
Thank you Doe for this promotion? Opportunity to click buttons? Million and a half ways to possibly break something?
XD
I kid. I kid. I'll behave.
But Assistant House Master for Eternal. ♥
Maybe I should make a new stamp and stuff...
COMMENTS
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
I am so happy for you!!! xoxox
I'm so giddy and jumping around XD
But I dun wanna make a stamp. *lazy*
YAYAYAYAYAY!!
*CLICK BREAK CLICK BREAK* XP
I kid.. I swear ;)
If you make a new stamp, then ya better show it off ;)
I should also say, I have a habit of being the one to break buttons around here...
*shifty eyes*
On the aspect of what I've read around here about Christmas and what happened.
If members here did NOT receive cards from me, then I'm sorry. My local post office sucks.
Seriously. My mother sent me a card two weeks ago and I haven't gotten it.
Half the time, my mail is ripped open. And my mother didn't even get the card I sent her until after Christmas.
I didn't think I would ever have to explain this since I always thought the season of Christmas was about giving. Not receiving. I spent about 60 dollars on cards and postage. I sent those bitches out.
I can't control what happens after I stick them in that little slot downtown. >.>
COMMENTS
I got yours, but none from overseas and several others.
I actually didn't count mine, like I said. My post office is crap.
I know some people didn't get some from me for some reason.
Oh honey I don't care, this was the first year I sent cards out even to family. I was happy to do it too. The gift exchange was honestly way worse for people than the card list and there was some discussion over doing something even more involved next year. Unless I am sending something to someone who is a friend, then forget it.
p.s. I got your card, you get to be on my cookie list :P
I know you sent them, I didn't get one from you, but then again the ones I got back after the noted 12 were ripped and such. So I wouldn't be surprised if the post office gremlins ate them. I still loves you anyways my friend! :)
So last night I got to chat with a couple of amazing ladies. Was awesome until my net decided to cut out a few times. After it did the last time, I decided it was my sign to just go to bed since I did have to work today.
It was fun and was great to be able to be myself on here for once. Really hard for me at times.
I'll be attempting to get on more often. :D
COMMENTS
You're so awesome just the way you are! ♥
I'm so glad you had fun. :)
I adore you. Seriously. I just want to put you in my pocket!
You are so much fun! ♥ ♥ ♥
Was searching CDO for something and ran across some tubes I want to buy when I have the extra money.
Ok, I lie. They released new stuff and I was drooling. XD
But here are the things I want. Too lazy to make links.

That's awesome, looks like things are looking up for you; new projects, more fun!!
Yay! :)
Maybe tonight I'll join the singing crowd and head on cam and sing something for ya'll.
This time sober. o.o
My boyfriend pushed this idea a bit yesterday. x_x
Any song requests if I do?

I have a feeling she is gonna do it.
D:
I keep doing bad things over in the House. I'm making messes and such.
I want to touch on something that I'm very knowledgeable in and how it affects Vampire Rave.
Copyrighted images and the Admins here.
Every piece of art is considered copyrighted unless stated. Most images you find online are not free to use images or able to be used on profiles and such.
The admins of VR can not police copyrights and who has permission and who does not. There is a page called the DMCA Policy here on VR. It's at the bottom of every single page on classic layouts. That is what deals with copyrights. Not VR Administrators.
It states there that it is expected of members to be compliant with copyright laws, but obviously many on here are not. To be honest, a great majority are not.
That brings me to my next point. Any image you find online that may be cute, sexy, adorable, or whatever, carries a copyright. If you don't have permission to use that image or don't have a license to use that image, you can't. It is called copyright infringement. I see it constantly because I go through profiles and pick out art by my favorite artists and KNOW that it's being used illegally.
Many artists are ok with allowing you to use their work if you email them and give them credit. It's not that hard to ask and saves you trouble.
If you do get caught infringing copyright usage laws, you can be fined.
Now, you want to know how do I know all of this? Because I volunteer my time for a licensing company. A licensing company works with artists to sell licenses to hobbyists to create graphics with the artwork. We have to police this crap very very hard. Every single licensing company gives you a number you have to use on your images. You have to add the artist information. There are rules.
If you see art of a friends being used without permission, the proper thing to do is to let your friend know and give them the link to the DMCA page so they can follow through. You can contact a VR admin if you want, but the best route to take is the legal route from the start. This is a big website and it helps to prove the copyrights from the get go.
:)
COMMENTS
That is very pretty Abs.
Very nice.
Ohhh I really, really like it! That turned out great.
I love it! I personally think you should be a coven master again. You've got alot of talent with graphics and that's pretty much all you need, that and a topic haha. Besides you can join Arthropoda and have plenty of activity. :)
I thought about doing this as a coven, but I want people to be able to come and go as they wish and not be forced.
If I do choose to do a coven, this most likely would be my crest and such. I have the psd file saved because I made a tag version of it as well. :D
***LOVES***
So- how much for a stamp? Huh .. huh?
:D
One thing that stuck with me this morning was the need to look up barbed wiener in German.
Closest I got was barbed genital, but here it is!
Stacheldraht genitalen
I tried to say it. It was far from pretty.
I ♥ my German lessons. I feel the need to learn funny words.
Ich liebte letzte nacht.
Last night was great. Minus the fact I drank an entire bottle of Mojito stuff to my damn self and have the headache from hell.
But! I was informed that I somehow bumped my head. Not quite sure exactly how that worked out the way it was explained to me, but ok. I'll roll with it.
The hwang, porn hair, karaoke, boobs, oh god if I wasn't so drunk last night I would have recorded or screened half the good shit.
By the way, I woke up this morning to go refill my waterbottle with well...water (because last night it was filled with rum/mint) and I stepped on the fish.
Stupid fish.
COMMENTS
LOL The fish was cool. :) And the singing wasn't bad at all.
That bastid fish!
Oh Em Gee. I had the beeeest time last night. LOL@ you playing with your tata's last night. LMAOOOOOOOO
Rubber fishy your the one
You making drinking on Cam so much fun
Rubber fishy I am awefully fond of you
Rubber Fishy joy of joys
When I pump you, you make noise
Rubber Fishy your my best friend, it's true !
Good lord I am so effing drunk it isn't funny.
So many jokes tonight.
So many good times.
Such a great end to my shitty week
Fucking epic.
Pretty sure I sang a few times for some people. Sorry there.
And boobs.
COMMENTS
and the HWANG!!!!!
xD
glad you had fun. :)
and do not forget the fishy you found in the bathroom =}~ Yes Boobs lots and lots of boobs and more.
I seriously didn't think last night's tag thing was going to go over so well.
Guess I'll be doing a few more of those this weekend.
But!
First I need to finish something I promised to get done last weekend. I have a date with some tentacles and creatures of the dark deep waters for a friend. The tag I offered last night I made like two weeks ago on CM for a challenge so I didn't have to do much for it. lol
I think I'll do another Dougherty tag offer tonight. Or possibly my awesome Elias one I have sitting around. :D
So in regards to my last entry, I felt I have to explain the panda thing a bit.
My boyfriend should know the panda thing by now. xD
I met him online in a video game we both play. I play a fairy. He plays well...a drunken panda.
So I have now decided to showcase art and screens of us together in game. :D
To show the panda-awesomness!
The last one I have to explain a bit. It's a picture a good friend drew for a fan art contest for the game. It has my character swinging the giant hammer (XD!) and a bunch of guildies involved. She asked random members of the community to contribute screenshots and it seemed that no one but people from our guild wanted art done. So the all black thing is Sydney, the panda in the back is my boyfriend, the archer is a girl from guild named Mary and the thing going all ninja like is a genderbender named Albin. All cool peeps. Possibly my favorite picture :D
That was rather fun and entertaining. Some conversations between myself and the boyfriend while I rate whelpy profiles.
Me: Ugh, this one is getting a 7 at least. Fricken pop ups and the coding is crap for a PM.
BF: But it has wolves! It should get a 10 for wolves.
Me: But the pop ups bug the shit outta me. 7.
*moving on to the next profile*
Me: Ooooooh! Pandas!
BF: There is nothing there. You just gave it a 10 for a panda?
Me: Yes. I like pandas.
For anyone that ever questioned my rating system. There ya go. :D
COMMENTS
lol
You can't please every body. :] lol
I do the very same thing lmao
Pandas are cute though, so yeah they can have a 10
Oh he knows I love pandas. There is a BIG reason he knows that.
Long story. I should write about it one day.
Pretty much he is my panda bear. ♥
Randomness at it's best while rating love it !
Whoops.
x_x
I'm no longer allowed to message and chat while sleepy. I block awesome people that don't deserve it.
Sorry about that. :(
I took out the name to protect the innocent.
Comment left on my profile:
I have come and found you worthy
[Random ass image]
cross me and you shall feel my wrath
hurt me an you shall hear my laugh
hurt a friend... and you shall perish
My exact words were, "Really? What are you gonna do? Yell at me on the interwebz? Or you gonna just rate me a number that isn't gonna matter when I go to work?"
My boyfriend thinks I am getting cranky from lack of sleep at this point.
XD
COMMENTS
Heh heh
Those are the ones that make me laugh the hardest. xD
Why take the name out? Tell the truth and shame the Devil, honey.
Shame the Devil.
It's still on my profile if you wanna look.
They rated me a 10. But this isn't about the rate itself, just the silly crap put in the stamp and my reaction as a cranky person.
Just force of habit to keep the name out to keep crap down.
Hey! She can't shame me! I have no shame lol..
And no people it wasn't me that left the comment..I would never leave something so ostentatious and pretentious.
I just realized artisteer has webpage capabilities.
Maybe one of my new years goals might come to fruition sooner then I expected.
My own tutorial site. :D
Maybe...
I wouldn't know where to start lol
Erg.
People with massive stamps.
No bueno.
I shouldn't have to scroll to see the entire image. In either direction.
Small. Compact. It doesn't have to say a million things, really just your name. Any of that "proud member, fairy rated, blah blah blah" crap should be as text under the stamp. Typed out.
Your stamp is preset so all you do is click, so you only have to type it once...
No real excuse for this huge ass image.
Uploaded a new picture. I was meaning to do it a while ago, but I never did a winter profile...
So yeah. It never made it up.
Raw unedited picture of me. I took it outside before I had to go inside for work. Took it with my phone. So nuffin fancy. xD
I've also removed my portfolio. I haven't updated it in almost a year and half. I just don't feel like it, no point in keeping it up.
Gonna put this here for fun.
It's nothing really special, just something we do for fun over at misfits.
We have this stalker wall of fame.
A lotta of us post a little badge using the art of the artist we stalk the most. We redo it each year.
Here is my 2011 one:
Shortening my name is the unspoken thing to do with my name over there on smaller things. Or bigger things for some reason lately.
Aww poop.
The VR manual actually didn't answer my question this time.
Any admin floating around out there wanna answer this? I ain't gonna send an acolyte question because I bet that if it's not in the manual, ya'll wouldn't know.
Can we use special characters in our user names?
For example: ♫Abstract♫
Just curious here.
I doubt it, but worth the shot. xD
As I said. Preview of header.
The word art isn't really visible here, but it will be when I get the profile going.
Also I just grabbed one that I made for my always list..I'm lazy xD
COMMENTS
Ohhhh I really, really like that!
It's hard for me to step out of my element to do stuff like that. But I always love the things like this. I also picked up another one of her images last night that caught my eye. It was the colors that got me. I have to do something with it. I don't know what. But something.
I also spent money on another artist this morning. I have plenty to keep me busy. xD
That is really lovely. I love the stuff you manage to create. :]
Something that bugs me in the PSP community.
Licensing companies that don't include the artist url with the tube.
Seriously. It's not that hard to add a little layer to the 5 layers already there with the url so I can have it there while I have the damn program open.
But no. You have to disrupt shit.
I'm sitting there. Going about my normal tagging business. In this case, making the header for my next layout, and I go to reopen one of the tubes so that I can add that final touch since I don't know that information for this artist off the top of my head. And guess what? It's not there. So here I am, on this new site because one company closed last night. Trying to find the list of artists and their websites that we have to use to credit. Come to find out it was on that websites blog.
Fucking seriously? Just add that shit to the image that you are charging me an extra 35 cents to download now.
You'd think that I could just google the artist and use the sites that pop up right? I can't. Some artists have multiple sites and we can only use the one the license company says to use as our credit. Thank god Ismael Rac (who sells independently) allows us to use either of his websites. But that one doesn't matter. His information is in the huge ass watermark layer on his tubes and I have it memorized.
I found it finally. I ended up messaging a friend on msn who tags and she knew it. I figured she would, she works with her a lot. So the header is done, and I'm pooped. I made a smaller version for CM and tagged it up.
I like it so far. Still have the rest of the profile to do. :D
COMMENTS
That is such a pain in the ass. It's not hard to add the layer and they should. :|
I can't wait to see your layout! -curious-
It's going to take me a bit. Since I went the route of using a freebie kit, I didn't have nearly enough options. I'm going to have to do a lot by hand this weekend.
I'll post a preview of the header :D
So I downloaded a couple of older scrap kits that are freebies from Artmama. I like the darker colors in them since they compliment the tubes I purchased for the profile nicely. Though, I may pop over and buy a few Zindy tubes so that I can have an excuse to buy her new V-Day scrap kit. heh
Over on CM we got permission to use Masumi Max's photographs for tags. It makes me want to ask a couple of photographers here similar permissions. I just don't have the balls to do it. And I also suck at tubing images and I'm terrified of letting someone else tube them and the tubes getting in the hands of the wrong people and the art getting disrespected. In the PSP community, this is highly likely to happen. There be some people out there that just don't care. I just see a certain image and I want to create a tag with it. It's the colors and the pose.
*sigh*
So much to do with my niche in the PSP community right now anyways. We have the new store trying to lift off right now. Trying to find artists to sell tubes being the hardest part. And the fact that the store owner is on at like 3 am doesn't help me very much.
*yawn* Guess time to suck it up a bit.
After some serious inspiration.
The new year will bring a new look and a new style for my profile.
The last few months have been very punky/attitude. I have been using a lot of Rac/Elias/Garv. And only Toxic Desirez kits.
The next one will be softer. And I'm going to be using the art of Jennifer Janesko.
Not sure on scrap kit usage. I most likely will either go with something Artmama has made or some bits and pieces of my own CU items I have purchased to make scrap kits.
But it will be different. No more flashing skulls. No more Scroll boxes. No more bright colors and stand offishness.
I'm gonna show the softer side of me for a little bit. :o
Ok. Maybe there will still be a scroll box. xD
