Update!

Yeah, I haven't updated this in forever! This is crazy. Oh well, time for a massive catch up!

I have a job! Whee! I'm a lifeguard at the recreational beaches down south. It's not far to drive, and I get training with it too! Also my boss looks like David Hasslehoff, no kidding. It's uncanny. Having a lot of fun with it, and not had to do much yet. That's a good sign, though!

Erebus placed 9th in the Big Bar Brawl. He got hugs. Lots of. Although I've had to put my foot down. I know he can be revived at the drop of a hat here, but it hurts. A lot. So no more fites for him. At all.

Some didn't make it out. Haven't seen Jaxx come back. Maybe for the best.

Other than that, nothing to miraculous to report. Um, let's see... we dethroned a tyrant, Del fancies a vampire but it is NOT TO BE, um... nothing off the top of my head.

It's been quiet lately. I'm gonna go join Erebus in hurling grenades at piles of junk.

Life without Psionics

So I lost my psionic powers. The Zerg must have taken them or something.

Shit, it's been a while since I wrote anything for this blog. I guess I better bring you up to speed. Zoofights started, things were awesome and we met lots of new people, and then the Zerg showed up, kidnapped me and tried to turn me into one of them.

Yeah. Fun times.

And they took my powers. Admittedly, I only had them for a year, but it felt awful all the same. They took a part of me. They went in my head and messed me up, and that fucking sucks Protoss dong. And I used it sometimes too - when I had to feed Mordred, I could sort of talk to him, although his thoughts aren't exactly Stephen Hawking. And I could tell Erebus exactly how I felt, like if we had an argument or if we were chilling out together, or if we were having a moment.

I miss being able to do that.

He's been supportive. He's never not been supportive. But he's been a goddam pillar of cast iron lately. He rescued me, he helped me recover after, he was there for all of last year, he was there when Ali beat the shit out of me, and now here he is again.

And we're watching Toy Story. He likes it.

I can find a better way of showing him how I feel.

<3

Zoofights is amazing!

It's great! Met up with all my old friends, and some new ones too. Bar's still the same old deal, Gezora's still huge (well at the time of writing he's occupied, but my point stands), and the fights are as awesome as ever.

Del's made a new friend too, hee hee.

We've got some problems, though. But it's nothing we can't sort out! We'll figure a way to sort it out. Trust me.

Right, let me see if I want to cook or just order a take out.

Looks like Superman is back!

Seriously, Erebus has just been jetting around all day trying out his new jump pack. The noise is unreal. And so is the air he's getting.

I'd like to join him, but I kind of swore off silly behaviour. Also, Reaper jump packs only get handed to the criminally insane, so there's that problem. And I don't think I'd be any good at flying with one at any rate.

Look at him go, he's like a child all over again :3

Movie Nights are still good

Holy shit we love the Matrix

SO MUCH

I don't even know what is happening but look at them go

I'm back home!

:D

decisions!

so me and erebus talked it out, and wte decided about our future and stuff.

and basically fuck the police.

so who glives oa shit? i'bm a billionaire! what the fuck are you gonna do, sue me? i can call up a god to get me offf the hook! i have everything and everyone else has jack shit and they can go suck it if gthey hate mie for it.

so we broke out the champagne, and now i am inec and tipsy and erebus looks like he nepeds a hug. ;)

l8r

Big thanks!

Now that I'm kind of stuck here and can't do much until I get my sling off and heal up a bit more, it's nice to get visitors. So let me throw out a few thank you's and such.

• Sarah and Celestia, the cookies were amazing. Thanks a bunch. :3
• In that same vein, nice of Widow Maker to drop by on movie night. I think I bust a lung laughing when you started putting the old monster movies on and riffed on them. You made Mougera entertaining!
• Eddie Riggs, you awesome bastard! Pizza rolls were great, music was great, just a good time all round! \m/
• Pech and Antoin for sure. An is a little ray of sunshine nowadays, and watching Pech and Erebus talk is like listening to a bunch of schoolkids. :D You guys keep on trucking!

Back to lazing around!

Hell yeah bitches

First off, Widow, here's that footage you wanted. And yes I kept that horn. I use it as a conversation piece.

So most of my time so far has been slobbing around, not wearing a lot, eating greasy food and trying to cope with this arm sling. It makes hugs harder, but Erebus deserves them and everything else I'm giving him so I'm damn well giving him them. I'd be all sappy and "my heeeerooooo" but truth be told I think I'd have found another way to beat Ali at some point. Maybe grill him.

We've been having a lot of hamburgers recently. Oh the irony. Erebus assures me he's not cut Ali up into hamburger meat. He says it'd probably be poisonous. He has a point.

Pech gave us a painting in celebration of our victory. I didn't know he was into art, but turns out he's pretty damn good. Watching his oil-on-canvas self rip up a Tyranid is oddly inspiring, but I think it's gonna go somewhere where visitors won't see it. Maybe the upstairs landing? Also the eyes kinda follow you around the room which is weird.

Guess who won?

Clue - not the braindead thug minotaur.

Erebus looks a mess, but fuck yeah he won and that is what matters. He is getting HUGS tonight.

Freedom

I am finally free of that awful place they claim is a hospital, and back in my cosy house. This mostly means bed rest and not doing a lot because I have one arm in a sling, but it's cool. That'll be off soon. And besides it gives me more reason to lie around and have Erebus wait on me some more, which is always good. Married woman's dream, eh?

I don't really have much to talk about at the moment - still trying to process my failure, I guess. I'm gonna take these here painkillers, and then lie on the couch and stare at the ceiling until tea arrives or another tickle assault happens. I'm in good hands :3

that is how you use that smiley right?

Actually, I have a better feeling than that previous one

Waking up on the couch, seeing pizza boxes and empty booze bottles everywhere, and knowing it was a good movie night.

Erebus makes the best pillow.

The Best Feeling in the World

Alright, let me describe this for you guys.

It's late in the evening. Like, eleven, maybe midnight. You've got the lights on low, and it's warm in your living room. Cosy. Everything sort of glows, like, a deep red. It's chill, except warm. You've got the fire on. Hell, you have central heating

Sit in that couch. SINK in it, man. It's a nice couch. It's warm too - none of that leather crap making it feel all rubbery. Thank Zephyrus for finding the most epic couch in existance in that junkyard. You could sleep on this. Erebus says it's lumpy, but screw him, he's nine foot tall, of course it'll feel lumpy to him.To you, right now, you could just curl up and fall asleep.

Can't do that, though. On the coffe table are three massive pizzas. One is loaded with like a million different sorts of meat - bacon, ham, chicken, pepperoni, beef, even some sausage I think. Another one is one of those New Yorker ones, where they've replaced the sauce with bbq sauce, and stuffed the crust with it too. And it's got onions and pepperoni and stuff. And the last is one with so much cheese on it you could bungee jump from the strands when you take a bite. That one gets a bit messy, but you don't mind. Oh, and there's something to drink, of course. Alcohol. Why not? Get some cheap lager from somewhere, crack open the 151 for guess who.

And we have a movie. Of course. A really good movie, picked out. No tantrums, no fuss. This is a success. A really good one.

There you are - or, rather, there I am, all warm and cosy, sunk into the couch, eating pizza and drinking booze, and watching Erebus stuff his face, not watching himself as he smears sauce and bits of ground beef around his mouth, looking like a little kid as the both of us watch Johnny Mnemonic.

Bliss.

Doing billionaire things

Erebus, you get the top hats. I'll buy the monocles. Let's get classy.

Erebus, Movie Night is not cancelled

But we're not watching sci-fi anymore because you just start yelling about aliens and murder. We're gonna watch some comedies instead. I'm starting with Groundhog Day.

If you can get through this one without kicking up a stink, there's a prize at the end.

Erebus has ruined Star Wars for me

I'm starting to reconsider having movie nights with Erebus. It was fun watching things and having him try and puzzle out why things were happening, but now I'm not so sure.

This came about from watching Return of the Jedi. He doesn't like Star Wars anyway because the Force reminds him of psyker powers and he reckons he could defeat the Empire single-handedly and wah wah wah I'm a big blue baby, but I managed to sit him down and make him watch the whole thing this time. All the way to the end with the big party with the fuzzy bear things and everyone being awesome.

And then he sees one of the bears playing drums with the stormtrooper helmets, and he starts making a big fuss about the devlish zeenose or however you spell it. So I ask him about it.

So the little bears eat people, yeah? I mean, they were totally gonna eat our heroes just for being there, and nothing would get them to stop until Luke decided to use his mind powers to trick them. So what's stopping them from eating the stormtroopers after the battle? They don't take prisoners, it's a thing the clearly do often to trespassers and it's not like it's easy to convince them otherwise. Plus you don;t see any prisoners of war after the battle - just the dancing people on Endor and the helmets.

So yeah, those dudes totally ate some people.

Goddamn it Erebus, how fucked up is your world that not only do you suspect every alien of shady shit, but you're right as well? Now I can't watch Star Wars ever again. :(

Cooking

So I cook now. I guess my warrior ancestors would be ashamed of me but whatever.

It's not hard normally. Erebus likes meat of pretty much any sort, so you just cook something different every day and keep it varied. Sausages, pork, beef, lamb, bacon, chicken, duck, all of it. He's not a vegetarian really, but he eats most anything. That allows me to do other stuff sometimes, like Italian or sometimes a curry.

I'm not really a great cook but I experiment. I learnt quite a few things in the Marine corps, improvising stuff in the field and using fieldcraft. So cooking isn't too hard for me - just remove the stick gathering and catching the actual food. I don't really miss that at all. Sometimes you don't even know if the wildlife you're hunting is edible until you start cutting them up and cooking them. That's what the fieldcraft is there for of course, but sometimes something is poisonous or does something weird. I know I've gotten a range of side-effects from eating funny food, from the shits to lying in bed with a fever. So not worrying about that feels good!

Not everything is a success though, gonna be honest. Things get burned, or I mess up a recepie that I'm testing. It's why I stick to frying things, or putting them in the oven. Doing a Sunday roast is pretty much the most challenging thing I can do. Erebus helps, though! It's weird, having a husband that cooks. He does good breakfasts, so I can't complain.

I like baking as well. Mostly cookies. It's more of a treat though, considering my busy social life and various activities. I am told my cookies are fabulous. Then again, the primary test subject is kind of biased. :P

I'm going to try churros next. Wish me luck.

Erebus needs to stop sneaking up on me...

...to start tickle fights.

Bastard knows all my weak spots.
