Unfortunately, Mamakitty, we live in a world that is about not what you know but who you know.  Especially if you're a writer.  The image of the reclusive writer is a fallacy.  Even Rowling knew someone who knew someone.  Its just how it works in the art world.  It doesn't necessarily matter how good your art is.  You can be out there showing it to all and sundry, but until a Someone Important comes along and sees it, the best you can ever hope to be is some hack for a big company.  Same with music, etc.  You have you get yourself out there, network a little.  Use your people skills, and if you don't have some, get some.  Then, perhaps, if you really are any good, you'll begin to make some headway.  Otherwise, you're just another one of the worlds many struggling artists.

Yeah, I'm getting that too.  Methinks RIP Insim.

So . . . how would one such as I go about 'burninating'.  I want to pillage.  It looks like fun.  And I like fun

Hey, who nabbed my AVI?

Wait, no . . . hang on, its back up again . . .

Nah.  Its just gone down.  I theeenk Insim in fubared, or at least we can safely consider it such at this point in the game.

Phoenix is more about the randomly flying around a room as fast as he can manage (and he's fast.)  My sisters had a few 'tiels and none could come close to this maniac.  Its funny though,  because sometimes he'll be flying around and go to land on top of a door, but put his landing geers down to late.  The crash is hilarious.  Sometimes he'll just go splat into the wall above the door.   The puzzled look he gets always manages to get me in hysterics.  He's a big sook though.  If he's sitting on someone, he'll bite the persons hand until he gets a pay.  Yours sounds like quite a classic as well.

For some reason, I think 'The Baby Elephant Walk' would be a good theme.  Hey, I have a seriously warped sense of humour.

My budgie when he was younger used to chuck one of those plastic cat balls with the bell in it around the place.  He'd be at it all day, either on the floor of his cage our rolling it all around the house.  If you kicked the ball, he would run and get it.  That and he had a ladder with a twirling mirror on it that he was absolutely in love with (and I mean in love.  He never left it alone, would try to feed it and would frequently try to breed with it.)

Yeah, Phe has never been a big believer in toys.  The only thing he really plays with is a cage dangle thing with wood and stuff on it that we got him when he was just a baby.  Anything else he hisses at and waits for DJ to check it out.  If the budgie plays with it, then he has to commandeer it.

OMG!!! Must . . . get . . . image . . . out. . . . mind.  The horrors!  That is just plain nasty Missangelica.  Nasty I tell you!!

Fair enough about the cockatiel.  They do those things.  Phoenix is all about sleeping in the shower.  He likes the shower.  He demands to be in the bathroom if people are using the shower - he wants to use shower too.  My budgie DJ is a big one for sleeping with his head inside a glass of wine.  He really likes wine, prefers a well aged shiraz.  Why?  I don't know.  He's a strange old bird (he's 8 )

Eh?  Did I read that right??? The cockatiel is under the keyboard?  I have a cockatiel as well, an a daft albino called Phoenix, and I'm just trying to envision how a cockatiel could manage to be under a keyboard 

Has anyone contacted Enayla yet, and let her know whats been going on?  She should know, in case she decides to post moar pixie skins, or eyes or whatever. She can decide for herself where she wants to continue posting.  I suspect she may want to post it in the new Pescadoian site, whatever it gets called, but then again thats her call.

btw. jokerswild.  A little suggestion.  Don't double post.  There's a button if you look, that says 'modify'.  Its your bestest friend in the whole wild world, and will save you from the acidic tongues of other pirates.  This site ain't sugar coated like most forums are.  Slip up and you get toasted, nicely.  Trust me on this one.

How about calling the site 'Artificial Insiminations'
