So I was tagged in Nadia’s lovely Vlog about 5 Xangans who are important to her.
And here is my one 
I think the audio is fine, but it may need you to turn your speakers up a bit.
Xangans Mentioned: @xXxlovelylollipop @xDeelynnx @fabolousclown @I_Love_Burma @LKJSlain
Part two of my Trip to the big city: In this episode there is more food, dead people, dancing girls and spaceships 
Day 4
Greek Orthodox Grave stones.
Marking the graves of my mum’s biological father and mother.
Michael: My mum’s step dad, also a Ukrainian immigrant.
My Grand dad’s grave…he’s the one in the picture in my first post. I never really knew him, since i was too young.
Old Industrial England a Vew from the graveyard.
Before going to the grave (or it might have been after can’t remember) we also went to an Anglican Church.
I’m not religious i’ve rarely if ever been to church or anything connected to organized religion…but I thought since this trip was one of culture I should add Religion to the experiances.
It was interesting, I joined in with the hymns, which surprisingly made me get a bit of a lump in the throat. I wasn’y comfortable with much of the language used though, since it was very much about the more judgmental view of God…personally all that original sin and God’s wrath stuff just sounds a bit needlessly depressing.
But when at the end of the service we turned to each other in the church and shook hands saying ‘Peace be with you’ I quite liked that 
then there was the whole bread and wine thing which was interesting but a bit lost on me.
After all the holy morning stuff we had a quiet Sunday, that ended at a lovely Indian Resturant with great service and food. We spent the night talking, mostly with an ex-fireman friend of my uncle for me, but it was loud and not really my scene so i was glad to get home.
Day 5
The next day I headed off to see my Cousin, her partener and their new baby, and together we went to visit a local town where they plan to move.
Deers in the park!
Proud Dad
Slightly odd cousin and cute baby
A quiet…but jam packed with rich folks English Village.
After spending the day with my Cousin and having a late lunch we headed back only to find that my Aunt had made dinner and we were all invited to have some :S but despite having eaten lunch only 2 hours ago the meal was so nice we got through it and the sweet.
Then we were off back to Manchester to see somekind of Dance thing done by Manchester Ballet School students.
It was AMAZING we were right in the front row and right next to the massive speakers from which VERY loud music was playing through out…but the skill, ability, choreography and whole show was brilliant so despite ear pain I stuck it out and loved every moment!
Plus we were right next to a guy who’s sister was in the show, he was a lovely guy and shared some interesting stuff about his work as a graphic artist (check out his site: www.thecityspace.co.uk I tracked him down via google lol) the only problem was that since it was not only Ballet but also Cabaret the costumes for several dances were a bit revealing shall we say…and normally I’d not mind that sort of thing, but when you are sat next to the brother of one of the amazingly pretty girls on stage…it makes you more of a gentleman with your gaze lol 
But the whole thing was just great fun and made me REALLY want to not only see more but also become a dancer :/ might need a bit more fitness first though.
Day 6
Began with a walk up the hill near the house with my Uncle.
At home in his Garden
Manchester in the haze.
Then since he had discovered that we’d never been my Uncle insisted we go visit Jedrell Bank and see the Radio Telescope.
See I told you there would be spaceships…or at least the system for finding and tracking them.
Within the visitor center there was this camera wwhich proves just how cold my ‘normal’ hand temp is. Check out the difference between me and my Uncles finger tips! and this was on a hot day after my hands had been in my pockets
(It’s me on the left)
I don’t often (if ever) do the classic tourist posed shot…but someone insisted I get some so here are a couple
It’s a biggun, and it moved several times during our visit!
Fantastic bit of engineering…and the telescope too
My best shot of it *pats self on back heartily*
The guy who invented the telescope also loved Cricket and Trees so he had an Arboretum build near to the Observatory.
(The plaque says Neptune)
I discovered someone has half inched Neptune!
It’s a stunning place…and it was a lovely day but don’t worry only a few more photos lol
A bit of time travel got me this cracker from 1958, just after it was built
The garden wasn’t quite in full tree blume yet, but the blossoms that were out (mostly on pear trees) were stunning.
Then we had an excellent lunch in the resturant in the visitor center, more ham for me
And this was on the wall of the resutrant, each one had the time on different planets…but the one to the right for a Black Hole time was stopped hehe Science nerd joke…gotta love it.
The whole trip was really lovely, despite the fact I even got a cold down there at about the 3rd day. :S
For one though it was nice to have ‘just’ a cold and not something worse for once but also it was mild and everyone and everything was so nice during the 7 days I really didn’t mind.
I came back feeling really positive and motivated but also missing the folks down there quite a bit which is a good way to end a trip.
Not quite tempted to leave my glorious isolation and move to the city to become a dancer…yet but it was a close call lol
*Go half way down untill you see the picture of a canal…from there is new stuff *
This is going to be my Manchester Trip post…but thats gonna be a long one so for now this is me in my fancy purple shirt for Nadia @xxxlovelylollipop
And now the proper post…but damn I look so good in that pic i’m leaving it up lol
My trip to England
So on the 20th of March I packed up and shipped off to merry old England to visit my Uncle, Aunt and Cousin on my mums side, we quite rarely go visiting this side of the family but this was a sort of combo birthday gift trip for me and visit to meet our new Cousin who had just been born.
The beginning of trip was early (for me anyway) as we had to drive for three hours to reach the closest airport but we got there easy enough and after the usual security and other delays we were off…to Ireland.
Cheap flights you don’t even get jets just props lol
Bit odd since we were on the way to England to detour to Ireland, but hey this was the cheapest flight so we didn’t mind.
Ireland!
Plus since we were in Ireland it gave us the chance to have a quick pint of Guinness ;)
Didn’t really see much of Ireland since we only had two hours but it was nice to just sit and have a drink with my mum while we chatted.
Then it was back on the plane for another 45mins to Manchester where we met my Uncle (my mothers Brother) and got taken back to his and his wife’s home to settle in.
-Manchester-
The house is in a lovely quiet little suburb of Oldham not far from Manchester and my Uncle who loves trees has filled his garden with unusual species making it a quiet haven of birdsong and tree flowers.
Nut Thieves
Nope not a fake one…he really has a Crane that visits his frog pond hehe
Magnolia…aparently they are one of the oldest plants on earth.
My mum and her brother.
The first day was quiet and just mainly saying hello and getting sorted, I think the only good shots were of little Sam my new Cousin
My Cousin and little Cousin, I love them both with all my heart
I want one of these.
-A pic of my mums father (on the left) he and my mums mother were both Ukrainian-
Day 2
The next day we went into Manchester to explore about and see the sights ready for the evening when we were booked to see the Halle Orchestra in the evening.
The buildings are a lovely mix of old and new that offer almost endless angles and perspectives for photos, and since I love architecture I ended up with friction burns on my neck from my shirt collar because I spent the whole day looking up and around lol
The meal we had was an amazing Turkish restaurant and was probably the best of the trip (which is saying something because I ate like a king for the whole week) it’s also the only meal I managed to photo, still feel a bit awkward pulling out the camera at dinners :/
Hilton building, I love this building it’s soooo pretty and eye catching…and big :O
The Architect get the entire top floor as part of his payment.
Apple Store, so many nerds so well organized it was impressive
I go on that wheel later on
Drumming up some business…zing!
We had various starters but mine was a collection of wonderfully balanced little dishes including a ricotta samosa, rice wrapped in vine leaves, spiced chicken a salad and other lovely things.
They were all so stunning on their own that it was incredible they worked so well together, to be honest the main which was swordfish was lovely but I could have just eaten another plate or two of the starters and to go with it a rather nice Turkish beer which had rice in it.
-Mango Cheesecake yumaroo-
Then after dinner it was off to the Halle for the very first bit of live music I’ve ever been to see and most certainly the very first Orchestra I’ve seen live.
I was curious about the effect of an Orchestra having heard it described as ‘Exhilarating’ but never thought it could be…turns out it can
I really loved it. The sound, the skill and the way you could watch the movements of the musicians and see the flow of sounds was breathtaking I really genuinely got a buzz after it (even though due to early mornings and melodic music I almost fell asleep during one solo bit ) then it was home again for a bit of TV and to crash out.
You are not allowed to photo during..so this is as good as i got :/
But before bed I checked my 3DS which has a feature called Streetpass, basically if you walk by someone who also has a 3DS turned on and with WiFi active you transfer data…but since I live in the middle of nowhere I’d never got to use this feature…until last week!
Having passed through a massive shopping centre (AKA Mall for you Yanks) and visiting a AppleStore (which was very impressive) I had gathered my very first Streetpass yay Nerd High five!
DAY: 3
Day 3 began with a lovely walk along a gentle English canal with ducks and warm sunshine, then off into Manchester again by train to see various museums.
On the train through old land.
More Architecture!
In a craft fair thing this was a small box made of material with lights in it that you could hang on the wall, very clever idea!
Fish Market
On the Wheel.
Skyline
Then we popped into this lovely old theatre just to see the building
Hilton again…well I did say i loved it
The Transport museum, filled with everything steam and water powered. I spent ages pumping a demonstration model of a water engine thing…only for it to turn an arrow -_-
The Science museum: It had pillars that took photos of people and then passed them over this wall and onto a screen cloud…but it crashed LOL
A Fusion Generator…or it might just have been a nuclear one.
Aircraft Museum…not great for photos.
Hehehe
There is the screen cloud, as you can see most of Oldham has become Pakistani Muslim now.
A library with thousands of old books, the main building is very old but it has a modern part surrounding it.
The girls are a bit cold in Manchester lol
And then it was time for home, I think we went out for a meal…or just ate at home can’t remember but it was quiet and an early night…knackered after long days wandering around Manchester.
Oh we did also stop by a lovely Greek resturant before we left the city and I had a wonderful Panini with peparoni in…this holiday was also a holiday from my usual diet, and i had LOTS of meat.
Hey folks!
I’m back home.
I had a lovely week away and have returned with over 400 photos! :O But I’m not posting them now since i’ve yet to go through them even and organize everything, I literally got back today.
So this is just a catch up and heads up that some serious travel/photo blogging in on it’s way in the next day or two so watch this space.
Until then please feel free to let me know how you’ve been doing or what you’ve been upto between the 20th and today (the 27th) I’d really like to know how all the lovely Xangans have been doing?
Here are a couple photos of what i brought back with me: Some Mango tea – A Science Book – a Fierce Purple Shirt – and two cool holographic postcards.
I also got plimpsoles…but forgot to photo them :/
Glad to be back near a Xanga ready PC <3 Missed you all!
But actually Mr.Denver I do know when i’ll be back again and it’s on the 27th…so there
Yep I’m off for a visit to England, perhaps it’s where my blood comes from, (or half of it anyway) but the hills and highlands of Scotland are my home…or more accurately the hills and highlands of my keyboard are my home and i’ll be away from them for a whole week! :-O Aaaaa.
Chances are i’ll not have either time or oppertunity to get online so I shall bid you all farewell and much joy for the coming few days.
“DUDE: Yeah man. Well, you know, the Dude abides.
THE STRANGER: The Dude abides.
THE STRANGER: I don’t know about you, but I take comfort in that. It’s good knowin’ he’s out there, the Dude, takin’ her easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals. Welp, that about does her, wraps her all up. Things seem to’ve worked out pretty good for the Dude’n Walter, and it was a purt good story, dontcha think? Made me laugh to beat the band. Parts, anyway. Course–I didn’t like seein’ Donny go. But then, happen to know that there’s a little Lebowski on the way. I guess that’s the way the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin’ it-self, down through the generations, westward the wagons, across the sands a time until– aw, look at me, I’m ramblin’ again. Wal, uh hope you folks enjoyed yourselves.
THE STRANGER: Catch ya further on down the trail.
THE STRANGER: …Say friend, ya got any more a that good sarsaparilla?…”
I was thinking the other day about how much of an impact we have on each other and on Xanga when we interact and post.
Even if mostly we just deal with our little group of friends and only sometimes if ever reach the front page, our efforts and interactions spread out like ripples changing peoples lives and minds in all kinds of ways.
And as we rise and fall in the ranks of popularity we have a greater or lesser effect on larger or smaller groups.
But always even in little ways our presence here on this site is built into it, into it’s future and history.
I never thought i’d become half as much of a blogger as I have, and it’s always surprising to me to see people mention my username or things i’ve posted, or to look at all my friends and realise how many amazing people I know and things i’ve learnt and shared.
It’s one of the best things about the net, an open and free place to collaborate and build something together that involves all of us in some small part.
So thank you Xangans for being part of this site, and thank you also for letting me be part of it
Okay well amazingly to date i’ve done 30+! drawings of various Xangans, some are no longer on the site 
but their heroes remain.
Below you will find images and stories for all the heroes, first Group is of course our brave and enduring XangaLegion the good guys, the next group is the nefarious and wicked BAD Bedlam And Destruction, or badguys and the last is a group of slightly troublesome or more indipendant heroes.
The Independants are for the most part good, but are of the class of superhero like Batman, kept apart from the larger groups by either choice or by way of thier powers.
+UPDATE+ Will be adding names and links, got half way through and ran out of time 
++Update 2++ Have been meaning to finish this list for AGES, but well i’m pretty lazy :/ so finally I thought i’d complete it but rather than the hard to see and crumby collages I used before this time i’ll just stick the original images in but a bit smaller so it won’t take hours to load. So below you should find the entire list of ALL of my drawings todate. I’m not going to tag everyone and annoy them i’ll just link to the blogger if they are still active.

SuperLuc (Superluc super by name super by nature)
SuperLuc
It was a normal day in the city, but as people went about their lives they had no idea that for one of them it was the first day of their destiny.
At 10:00AM all hell broke loose. With a deafening boom that shattered windows for miles around a great beast fell from the skies, it was huge nearly 20 feet in height and brought with it destruction on an apocalyptic scale.
Cars flew like leaves in the wind, buildings exploded and began to burn with white hot flames and the ground shook under it’s massive feet.
As the terrified citizens ran for cover it looked as if nothing could stop the rampage of this unknown attacker, but within all the terror and destruction one man stood tall.
He was until that day just a normal guy but when faced with such destruction he did not run, did not bow down, but instead turn and faced the end.
As he approached the beast it ceased sending its terrible beams of energy screaming out towards the burning buildings, ceased crushing and pounding the ground and turned in silence towards the man.
For a moment they stood the only sound the distant screams and crumbling sky scrapers, and then the creature bowed its head and melted into pure energy with it the city re-grew buildings rebuilding themselves and cars spiralling back to where they had been.
And as the world righted it’s self the great ball of energy flowed into the man who had faced ultimate destruction with no fear.
And in that moment SuperLuc was born. The alien power that met him that day is now within and part of him giving him incredible strength and power, and combined with his immoveable spirit and pure will he has become the ultimate force of good and balance.
Rainbow X (RainBoxx Ritzy Ritz!)
Rainbow X
Most myths are based in some fact and finding the end of the rainbow is no exception.
Rainbow X was an ordinary girl when she found a strange intricate box hidden at the back of an antique shop, the owner simply knew it as the RainBox but didn’t know where it came from. Taking it home she spent a few days trying to open the odd box but after finding it completely sealed she gave up.
It was a week later that she came across the Box once more and grabbed a magnifying glass to get a closer look at the strange symbols and markings, taking it outside she began to study the surface.
As she did the glass focused the suns pure light and as it passed over the Box parts of it began to glow and come alive with colours, fascinated she continued lighting the box until it began to glow and spread on it’s own, even when she took it inside the Box continued to shimmer and twinkle with beautiful rainbow lights.
Suddenly the Box burst into light completely filling the room with one solid rainbow of light, for a moment it was everything and then the light faded.
From that day on Rainbow X was not the same, now she can use pure colour light to control strange and wondrous powers. Each combination of colours creates a different effect or energy, from powerful red beams that cut through steel to soothing blue that heals or turquoise that grants invisibility, but none are more powerful than Purple which allows Rainbow X immense strength and speed, regeneration and piercing intuition.

X-Ninja (xDeeLynnX Shes one of my all time Xanga besties )
XNinja
The 10th Ninja’s history reaches back 10 generations when a powerful warrior who had reached the height of her training realised she could never attain true mastery over martial arts with just one life time.
Faced with the end of her natural life she turned to a hidden and mysterious technique that was said to provide ever lasting life.
But immortality was not to be hers, not in a physical form anyway. Instead she managed to gain the ability of ‘conscious none sequential rebirth’ so that in part her knowledge and skill was passed directly to a new generation within a person open enough to contain both her and their own spirits, each life time building on the last and adding to her wealth of knowledge.
By the tenth generation held within the energetic makeup of a young woman was the distilled knowledge and wisdom of hundreds of years of focus and ability.
But it was the mundane act of walking through air port security that was the one thing missing in all those preceding years.
As the waves of energy passed through her body the young woman and the ancient master were suddenly and irreversibly merged, and as both energies vibrated together and intersected with the scanner waves a resonance was created that unlocked an intimate connection with time and the stored abilities of the master.
Now the X-Ninja not only has incomparable martial skill but can also directly control localized time, speeding items she holds or her limbs up or down depending on need.
By controlling local time she can survive almost any fall, strike with the speed of a bullet or move faster than the eye can track.
But all her power and skill is tempered by centuries of wisdom and balance that has taught her to only act when the time is right and to choose her moment to perfection.
FireFlower (I_Love_Burma Wonderful creative and kind Marlar)
FireFlower
Working alone in an isolated genetically modified crop proving ground greenhouse a researcher began experiencing a strange connection to her plants, though subtle she was beginning to feel as if they were ‘talking’ to her.
Time past and the crops were nearing final approval when the greenhouses came under attack from a radical Anti GM group. They attacked at night starting many fires with Molotov cocktails and gasoline cans, soon the blaze was out of control and the entire installation was engulfed in a ring of fire.
Within the researcher found her self trapped, weak from smoke and pushed to the centre of the greenhouse by the heat she was overcome by a sudden and terrible cry that seemingly came from everywhere. The plants which had accelerated and mutated over the past months into an entirely new form of hyper adaptive life were dying but they were not about to give up just yet.
Driven by necessity and an urge to protect the researcher who had cared for and grown them the plants adapted to their new hostile environment at terrific speed. Vines poured from the ground and surrounded the researcher growing tightly around her and merging with her skin.
The fire burned for days before the company discovered the attack, when it had finally been put out and the area had cooled nothing was left standing save for a charred black husk that looked like a cocoon in the centre of where the building once was, the side of the cocoon was torn open…from the inside.
FireFlower
Possesses the remarkable abilities of the strange plant that merged with her to save both their lives, it is highly adaptive and can reform her skin to survive most harsh environments and even violent impacts. Due to the inferno in which they were born FireFlower and the plant can concoct powerful chemicals within her body that are then released in searing streamers of flame that can for a short time be used almost as whips before they become too liquid.
Together they are FireFlower a force of nature guided by a calm and caring heart.

As he explored his new ability he began to gather a vast knowledge of skills and techniques, wisdom and prose. Eventually he decided to use his skills for good and having read and learnt from many comic books and having dealt with many examples of poor grammar he decided to become Grammar Boy.
Now with knowledge of almost all martial forms and many other seemingly incredible skills he fights crime with his deadly combo of his ‘FullStop’ Right hand and ‘Exclamation’ Left.
Angel~Wing (JmeLove-x Lovely Blogger, writer and light dancer)
Angel~Wing
The night was cool and quiet, the only sound was that of the gentle breeze through the scrub.
A young woman walked slowly out under the blanket of stars, she’d been driving for hours and needed the break. The road was empty for hundreds of miles in both directions, she was alone just her and the still desert.
She didn’t know why she’d chosen here to stop, other than a strange sense of peace it was an unremarkable stretch of highway, but unknown to her she was being drawn to this spot, to this time, to this beginning.
Suddenly it was as if the stars them selves were falling, light oozed from the black sky and gathered form as it fell, untill it was a solid oval of burning gold that tore a shimmering path to the desert floor.
When the girl reached the spot she found nothing but a man clothed in simple white robes and surrounded by a mat of gently glowing feathers.
The ‘man’ despite apearances was not human and could not speak, but it was clear that it was dying. Within it’s eyes was a timeless creature facing death, and although it was calm it also expressed very human fear.
The girl stayed with the dying creature simply holding it in silence.

T.R.O.L.L (a minion of the BAD)
Introducing The T.R.O.L.L or in it’s technical name The Tessellating Relativistically Organized Living Liquid.
This strange creature was created by the mad doctor and scientist Dr.Karnevarious who concocted the T.R.O.L.L as an easily duplicatable army to aid him in his evil designs.
This monsterous creature is more chemical spill gone back than an animal, a reinforced bag of black ooze that when in close proximity with enough of it’s self self organizes and forms a rudimentary living being.
Control is gained via a small satellite reciver hidden within it’s ‘skull’ and additional metal tentacles that can extend from it’s sack like body for more than two meters make it a terrible foe.
Though not physically as strong where it isn’t armoured it’s blind mindless drive to complete it’s orders make it a tricky opponent, and if it’s given time it will self heal. This is just one of the more successful of the Doctors many strange experiments and creations, but with this and his trained human commando units they make both the Doctor and BAD a formidable enemy.
Henchmen of the BAD
The Humble Minion these normal men and women who have fallen under the sway of the B.A.D are trained and equiped then sent out to gather resources and cause mayhem when the real Villains are busy with their evil plans.
Although not particularly dangerous to the Heroes of the Xanga Legion they play a vital part as distraction and confusion units to cover much darker schemes.
Dr.Karnevearius (Evil Genius Doctor for the BAD)
Dr.Karnevearius
As a young man Karnevearius quickly distinguished himself as a genius, excelling in almost everything he turned his hand to, but as great as his talent was his drive to be more and better was even greater.
As he grow older he developed his own laboratory often creating the devices and machines he needed himself.
But his downfall came when he began researching the attainment of super powers, these often wondrous abilities seemed to spring fourth from random chance and often in times of great pain or danger, his mind was drawn ever on down this path and as it was his risks and care for personal safety fell by the wayside.
Eventually after years of fruitless trying his once strong able body was ruined as was his mind, driven mad by his experiments and constant failure he turned instead to repairing himself and the damage done by his obsession.
Now he is more science experiment than man, his body a conglomeration of technology advanced far beyond anything available to even the largest research labs.
But while he is now stronger than he ever was before his mind has continued to descend into madness and his soul has hardened.
With no sense of humanity anymore he pursues his goals with ruthless ability and focus, caring only for achievement and the completion of his next project he has drawn the B.A.D around him like a spider in his web.
While they go out and cause mayhem and chaos they are often only acting as the arms of his single minded and entirely selfish desires.
Up close he can be deadly, with his powered claw which is able to crush solid metal while the neurologically controlled tail that arcs from his back carries a deadly concoction of radioactive ‘venom’ that can burn victims from the inside out.
Independants
Choice (bluepillorredpill A very cool Xangan)
Choice
Choice had his taken away. A convict on death row for a crime he didn’t commit Choice spent his time reading books on philosophy and Buddhism. Finally after all his appeals had failed he was taken to the chair.
At the moment when the power was turned on Choice left his body and began moving towards an indescribable light, but as he moved he realised that this was his choice, he had life, death but also that which encloses both.
And in that moment Choice was re-born, he had fallen between the gap of life and death and now holds powers usually reserved for gods. His physical for is mutable and due to the nature of his ‘death’ he can transform into the Electrolem an electrical elemental of immense force, he is also supremely capable of learning almost any skill or technique and wields many weapons with consummate skill.
QuantumStorm (QuantumStorm Super Nerd!!! if you don’t know him make sure you change that)
QuantumStorm was a lone researcher left to monitor the worlds most powerful Quantum Computer over night when warning came through that a massive solar storm was about to hit the earth, as it did the power grid surrounding the research lab failed and it internal generator kicked in.
But the storm kept gaining in intensity and soon the lights began to flicker and fail, left with no option and unwilling to watch years of work and millions of dollars be destroyed Quantum allowed the computer access to the internet.
In milliseconds it had spread throughout the world gather untold amounts of data and knowledge, but in it’s rush to explore and expand it drained immense power from it’s base and as it was still entangle with it’s physical presence began to die once more, this time the computer took action and linked with the huge solar energy engulfing the entire region around the lab, as it did a unique form of radiation was created and consumed the lab.
After the blast of Quantum Radiation the lab was reduced to ruins and within them QuantumStorm stirred.
QuantumStorm is now a Quantum entity no longer entirely human, with his immense knowledge and power he has evolved beyond good and evil and so he can be cold and is more than willing to sacrifice tens if not hundreds of lives to achieve a goal.
Hard to predict and control QuantumStorm can seem to be both enemy and ally but with his ultimate goal of progress, life and evolution he is counted as one of the heroes.
QuantumStorms powers are strange and many, his teleportation and QuantumDuplication allow him to instantly be anywhere aswell as allowing him to simultaneously be in upto 4 locations at once.
He can also destabilize the quantum structure of the world around him which can be used as a terrible weapon, added to those skills is his global knowledge which allows him to use and create some almost alien technology.

Eventually their guild fell to the very corruption it fought against but two of it’s members made a pact to set in motion the rebirth of their cause in a time when it could once again thrive un-noticed. Since they both carried the innate Weaver ability they had a child together and setup a system of delayed inheritance so that one day with luck one of their line would regain the powers of the Weavers.
After centuries of waiting finally a young girl received a mysterious package on her eighteenth birthday, within was a musical score written on parchment not knowing who it was from or what is meant she played the tune as had many of her ancestors to no avail, but this time it was different.
As the music flowed from her it became physical and danced in the air in a bewildering light show of sound, colour and sensation, within her body she felt something being unlocked and suddenly hidden genetic knowledge filled every part of her.

Fabulous Clown
The Jesters of old were in fact the hidden remnants of Mages and Wizards, these powerful magic users once ruled in forgotten myth but as time and science moved on they had to hide and disguise their magic in ever more ingenious ways.
A few of the more powerful Mages create small creatures called Familiars to do their bidding and in some cases carry their knowledge beyond the grave.
One such creature was Fantastico a small Jester doll given life and great power by his master before his death.
Fantasticos master was one of the more powerful Jester Mages who had lived for the best part of three centuries. With his vast life span he’d seen the decline in magic and vowed to ensure its existence for centuries to come, so he gave Fanastico the power to teach others the way of the JesterMage.
And so for many hundreds of years Fantastico attempted to train new Mages, but as the years moved on it became less and less possible to break the grip of ‘reason’ and ‘logic’ until finally he could find no-one open enough to even see him move.
But somehow through fate and chance he ended up as a toy for a young girl who held within her the rare spark of Magic and over a few years Fantastico imparted his knowledge onto her and thus created The FabulousClown.
Together with Fantastico still at her side FabulousClow wields ancient and mystical powers, allowing her to Conjure and summon, confuse and create. She has become a natural Wizardess able to control the unseen flows of magic and with her powers she works to right wrongs and spread joy through the world.
So @Againstthewind1 has made today Funny Blog day
And while i’m always happy to spread a bit of humour…i’m sadly pretty crap at coming up with funny stuff on the spot, so here are three stories of varying length that have gathered up over the years on my machine…not sure where they come from and you might have even heard one or two of them before, but for those who haven’t (or have forgotten) I hope it brings a smile.
===No.1 Bear Remover===

===================
====No.2 The Parrot=====
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently
saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of
to “clean up” the bird’s vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he’d hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John’s outstretched arms
and said “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.
I’m sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.”
John was stunned at the change in the bird’s attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, “May I ask what the turkey did?”
==================
===No.3 The Squirrel====
(I know this is long but it’s totally worth it
I never dreamed slowly cruising on my motorcycle through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous! Little did I suspect…I was on Brice Street – a very nice neighborhood with perfect lawns and slow traffic. As I passed an oncoming car, a brown furry missile shot out from under it and tumbled to a stop immediately in front of me. It was a squirrel, and must have been trying to run across the road when it encountered the car. I really was not going very fast, but there was no time to brake or avoid it – it was that close. I hate to run over animals, and I really hate it on a motorcycle, but a squirrel should pose no danger to me. I barely had time to brace for the impact. Animal lovers, never fear. Squirrels, I discovered, can take care of themselves!
Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing my oncoming Gold Wing with steadfast resolve in his little beady eyes His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt! I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, “Bonzai!” or maybe, “Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!” The leap was nothing short of spectacular … as he shot straight up, flew over my windshield, and impacted me squarely in the chest.
Instantly, he set upon me. If I did not know better, I would have sworn he brought 20 of his little buddies along for the attack. Snarling, hissing, and tearing at my clothes, he was a frenzy of activity. As I was dressed only in a light t-shirt, summer riding gloves, and jeans this was a bit of a cause for concern. This furry little tornado was doing some damage! Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser,dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and leather gloves, puttering at maybe 25 mph down a quiet residential street, and in the fight of his life with a squirrel. And losing…
I grabbed for him with my left hand. After a few misses, I finally managed to snag his tail. With all my strength, I flung the evil rodent off to the left of the bike, almost running into the right curb as I recoiled
from the throw. That should have done it. The matter should have ended right there. It really should have. The squirrel could have sailed into one of the pristinely kept yards and gone on about his business, and I could have headed home. No one would have been the wiser.
But this was no ordinary squirrel. This was not even an ordinary peeved -off squirrel. This was an EVIL MUTANT ATTACK SQUIRREL OF DEATH! Somehow he caught my gloved finger with one of his little hands and, with the force of the throw, swung around and with a resounding thump and an amazing impact, he landed squarely on my back and resumed his rather anti-social and extremely distracting activities. He also managed to take my left glove with him! The situation was not improved. Not improved at all. His attacks were continuing, and now I could not reach him.
I was startled to say the least. The combination of the force of the throw, only having one hand (the throttle hand) on the handlebars, and my jerking back unfortunately put a healthy twist through my right hand and into the throttle. A healthy twist on the throttle of a Gold Wingcan only have one result. Torque. This is what the Gold Wing is made for, and she is very, very good at it. The engine roared and the front wheel left the pavement. The squirrel screamed in anger. The Gold Wing screamed in ecstasy. I screamed in … well … I just plain screamed.
Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a slightly squirrel-torn-t-shirt, wearing only one leather glove, and roaring at maybe 50 mph and rapidly accelerating down a quiet residential street on one wheel and with a demonic squirrel on his back. The man and the squirrel are both screaming bloody murder. With the sudden acceleration I was forced to put my other
hand back on the handlebars and try to get control of the bike. This was leaving the mutant squirrel to
his own devices, but I really did not want to crash into somebody’s tree, house, or parked car. Also, I had not yet figured out how to release the throttle … my brain was just simply overloaded
I did manage to mash the back brake, but it had little effect against the massive power of the big cruiser. About this time the squirrel decided that I was not paying sufficient attention to this very serious battle (maybe he is an evil mutant NAZI attack squirrel of death), and he came around my neck and got INSIDE my full-face helmet with me. As the faceplate closed partway, he began hissing in my face.
I am quite sure my screaming changed intensity. It had little effect on the squirrel, however.
The RPMs on The Bike maxed out (since I was not bothering with shifting at the moment) so her front end started to drop. Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a very raggedly-torn t-shirt, wearing only one leather glove, roaring at probably 80 mph, still on one wheel, with a large puffy squirrel’s tail sticking out of the mostly closed full-face helmet.
By now the screams are probably getting a little hoarse. Finally I got the upper hand … I managed to grab his tail again, pulled him out of my helmet, and slung him to the left as hard as I could. This time it worked … sort-of. Spectacularly sort-of … so to speak. Picture a new scene. You are a cop. You and your partner have pulled off on a quiet residential street and parked with your windows down to do some paperwork. Suddenly a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a torn t-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing only one leather glove, moving at probably 80 mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car.
I heard screams. They weren’t mine… I managed to get the big motorcycle under control and dropped the front wheel to the ground. I then used maximum braking and skidded to a stop in a cloud of tire
smoke at the stop sign of a busy cross street. I would have returned to fess up (and to get my glove back). I really would have. Really. Except for two things. First, the cops did not seem interested or the slightest bit concerned about me at the moment. When I looked back, the doors on both sides of the patrol car were flung wide open. The cop from the passenger side was on his back, doing a crab walk into somebody’s front yard, quickly moving away from the car. The cop who had been in the driver’s seat was standing in the street and was aiming a riot shotgun at his own police car.
So the cops were not interested in me. They often insist to “let the professionals handle it” anyway. That was one thing. The other? Well, I could clearly see shredded and flying pieces of foam and upholstery
from the back seat. But I could also swear I saw the squirrel in the back window, shaking his little fist at me. That is one dangerous squirrel. And now he has a patrol car. A somewhat shredded patrol car .. but it was all his.
I took a deep breath, turned on my turn-signal, made a gentle right turn off of Brice Street, and sedately left the neighborhood. I decided it was best to just buy myself a new pair of gloves. And some Band-Aids
======================
Yep What the heck why should girls have all the fun with jewellry, I want some earrings!
Errm no actually I’m entering this time on behalf of someone else and to support Lisa’s ( @lkjslain ) beautiful jewellry shop
So what are you waiting for? Go check out her shop NOW ~=Lisa’s Little Luxuries=~
As for the awesome give away, ‘my‘ choices are:
I want these!
And my Wishlist item is:
And this is on my wishlist…because I’ll pretty much do anything a pretty girl asks me to do lol
My number is 71
Do you use or even believe in Intuition?
Personally I think it’s one of our best and most truthful ways of acting, but it’s also something that needs training and careful awareness to use.
Also even though I try to use it as much as possible and think of it as something of great value I’m still not entirely sure what it is even.
So what am I talking about when I say ‘Intuition’? Well for me it is that sense you get sometimes when you are about to make a choice or take an action, mostly it’s like almost an ‘itchy’ thought that most of the time you dismiss or don’t consider all that much.
But when I make a mistake and look back at the situation often times i’ll notice that I actually knew the right course to take, the one that would have resulted in me thinking back without regret but I actively didn’t choose it. For example recently I broke a Laptop I was working on. I’d intended to quickly put it on my home network by changing it’s domain to WORKGROUP which was the name of my local network…sadly I was unaware that this machine was on a remote Domain that once changed ment that all users and passwords for the system ceased to function.
The fix took over a week of pain and struggle and even once it was solved it wasn’t perfect, but I couldn’t help but realise that when I thought back I’d known not to change that domain, I’d even paused before doing it thinking this could be dangerous.
Now I had no actual experience with domains at that point, but still I knew and ignored it. So that sort of thing is what I usually think of as a missed oppertunity to listen to my Intuition.
But this leaves me with the question what is it? is it something divine? perhaps it’s your higher self? or it might even be just evidence of our true potential, we are able to record and even recall everything we have ever experiencd via things like hypnosis, so all that data is there perhaps intuition is the voice of that store of knowledge, there’s a chance it might even not exist atall and merely be a trick of hindsight.
Whatever it is or where ever it comes from if you start looking for it and trying to using it more you gain access to a really handy tool, it basically allows you to choose the right thing without knowing why…and for someone as lazy as me thats pretty much the best thing ever lol
So do you use Intuition?
Do you think it is of value?
And do you find that you tend to ignore it more often than not and then kick yourself later for doing so?
