Iios

The Jade God himself seems to finally be growing up a bit - he's been back in my forebrain for a while this past few days and he hasn't seemed quite SO outrageous so far. Granted, the peacock tail was a bit silly (he wants to wear it on duty, but Eri says no-... He probably will, though. :P ), but perhaps getting a command back was all he needed - Synth get bored when all there is to do is pick pockets to finance their lifestyle and swank around at fancy parties.

Related art may come soonish, if I get my accounts up to date and dig up some motivation. :)

I'm also trying to rewrite Ivy's profile a bit, since she never really had a "personality" in there - although I think I'm being influenced by my music. The group "Lamb" always reminds me of her - especially the tracks "Gorecki", "Stronger" and "Please"; I think it's because there's a beauty and an essential sorrow/longing in a lot of their music, which is how Ivy is turning out. :( And I don't mean in an "emo" way either - hers has always been a sort of quiet, patient, undemanding sorrow. She's been burned sufficient times that she just... accepts it. A sort of "why bother" attitude. She was never this way when I first "met" her - she was cheerful and happy to do whatever. Now, I don't know. It must be a terribly lonely life for her kind. Maybe that's why she always seems to fit that "angel" stereotype - quiet, patient, loving, always alone, and posessed of an eerie, smiling melancholy.

Although I should probably change my CD, because Lamb always makes me feel like crying for no reason whatsoever. :P It just... gets to me.

Scary fact: the average fuel economy of the average Ford auto is about 18.8 miles per gallon. The Model T Ford, made circa 1925, had a fuel economy of 25 mpg. Cars made EIGHTY YEARS AGO were MORE fuel efficient and LESS polluting than many cars made today. But of course we're more technologically advanced, aren't we. :P

And people wonder why I prefer to walk. :P I'm not a raging environmentalist by a long shot - I don't wish all humans became extinct and the world "reset" itself (not like it'll do THAT for millions of years), f'rinstance, and my caring for the environment involves turning things off if I'm not using them, recycling, and buying organic food (and I happen to LIKE wind farms), not blockading fuel depots - but this sort of thing concerns me deeply. Especially as those nations pumping out the most car exhaust fumes are the ones building the most roads and most determined NOT to stop it. On a related note, why is it only ever the NIMBYs that make the great sprawling arguments against wind and water power and beat home how "good" coal-powered generators are?

When I get my house, I'm going to have a wind turbine in the back garden. >:)
