Oh he has not edited or produced, just done special effects. He has credits on Spy Kids and some Star Wars games and some others which I forget the name of the films but one is by the people who did that Blair Witch Project, but the name is not coming to me. And he also does free lance 3D modeling for other things like one was of eyes for a medical company for example.

Being a Gaian mod was a great experience for 5 years. I was a regular "site" moderator so I worked in any forum really. I was happy to be able to help out at a place I went to every day and I really loved the place (during that time). Then I got married and got so busy with work so I stepped down and now I just move threads in some of the forums which are misplaced.

How nice that you have found a good program. What do you want to study? Yes, bio...sort of. Well in the "Meet the Staff" you wrote some things about yourself so I just noticed it there today and read it.

Cora well I don't blame you one bit. There were a lot of people with unfair issues and yeah...things were not always very fair. I agree. I'm sure that is still an issue.

You bet Lucid! I am not sure of the timing of when I'll want to post entries or how to do it. But I think just host on photobucket or something. I'll try to PM you soon.

But the past is the past. I wont start ranting about gaia lols.

I could rant awhile xP

Ah, special effects. That was the term I was looking for, but my brain had misplaced. >.< I've seen a couple of the Spy Kids movies, I still have a VCR tape of the first movie AND it has Chinese subtitles too! XD

Aw, it's a shame you're no longer a moderator on there. Did you enjoy your time as a moderator? What was it like? :o Sorry for the load of questions, I just tend to have quite the active mind and curiosity. >.>;;

Ah, that thing. I don't really think of it as a bio, just a place where users can get to know the staff a bit. :3 I plan to study in an activation co-ordinator and gerontology program. I love helping people, especially those of the senior, child, and disabled persons variety. Plus, with the geriatric field being a growing one, I figured why not enter that one? ;) Though my plan is to finish this program, get a job in the geriatric field, earn some money, and study more programs. :3 I love to learn, so I want to keep studying and studying if my money allows. <3

Hehe Cora, I don't mind your ranting, but perhaps others might so we'll talk about something more pleasant. Like how'd you get your username anyway, I was wondering because some old friends of mine named their daughter Cora so I have good associations with the name. ^^

Arikana I liked being a Gaia mod, it was like a fun hobby in a way. But sort of a job hobby and was helpful at the same time. I've always enjoyed problem solving and that is half the battle of moderation. So I dealt with a variety of issues like arguments and trolls, things like that, all across the site. It was a lot of fun at times and challenging too, but then one gets married, I have other things I need to do now, other things I like. I moved on I guess.

Awesome, geriatrics is very helpful and gerontology a much needed field, I applaud your efforts. I like to study too. I am learning Hindi and it is very difficult when all I know is English. I am becoming literate too in it. I read of your own language skills. I am very envious of you, lol! There is so much wonderful stuff out there to learn.

Ok I am going to insert our "Endeavor" into the first post. I will try to do that tonight. I have it worked out I think. I hope it is understandable.

Wow, that's a very interesting Endeavour! I am soo looking towards this. *trots off to work on it and also plot her possibly birthday thread*

On side note, I only role played on Gaia back in 2007-2008, I wasn't even sure what is avatar site back then and started using those only around 2010-2011. So, I can't really comment. xD

I'm glad you like the endeavor. Omg, I should make one too! But not tonight, I will do one tomorrow. I'm actually still working.

Okay, I have a question: can we 'hand in' two avatars? Because I came up with this, and another. xD

Well, you're now the second former Gaia moderator on Tris that I know of. :o Maybe I'll keep running into more at this rate. :P That would be cool. I love hearing about stories and job details from former moderators as it's always good stuf to know when on a forum community. :3

Ah, the obstacles of real life. Always a hindrance, but never truly a bother. :P

Mm, thank you. X3 I just love helping people, it's so much fun. :D Though right now my fingers seem to have decided to join my internet in being semi-derpy. =w= And as such neither are being helpful. D:<

*grins* I love to learn and languages are at the top of my list of stuff I love to learn. <3 Perhaps we can trade knowledge on languages? I teach you what I know of the languages I know and you teach me some Hindi? Of course, not know though. I mean later when we're both a bit more proficient in the languages we're learning still. X3

And I agree, there's so much awesome stuff out there to learn! I feel like a sponge sometimes! XD

Hehe 2 of them! Wow, cool. Well...hmmm...how about hand in your favorite and wear the other! I love what I am seeing on you! I would discuss more but I am finally done and off to bed. *very tired*

Arikana, I know of another G mod elsewhere, just the one though. Sure we can do a little language trading in the future, but definitely I need to learn some more. Ok I am hitting the sack as they say, so see you tomorrow I hope if you are around.


Nighty night everyone!

Sure, no problem, this will be my favorite then, I think. xD But I will give you link tomorrow, I am off to bed as well. Cough, fever, or no cough and fever, I need to lay down now. So, take care and rest well! See you tomorrow. :)

I feel pink. Very, very pink. D:

@Uma: Yay, looks like we've just made a deal! :D
I can't wait to trade languages with you in the future!

Jumpin' in super late. Sorry everyone. My folks wanted to go shopping in a city approximately 2 hours away when clearly, there's a city we could've went to that was 1 hour away. Not only that, but I had to pick up a friend and my little brother. Today was his last day of school. Sometimes, I question my folks and their little ability to give me news at the last minute. Frustrating, really.

As far as pictures go, take a look at a few of these:
Mizeria Headshot
Otome Kisune Headshot
Dark Treading
HALOS Symbols

These are probably the better pictures I've made in my gallery, but they do have mistakes and the style isn't that-- eh. Due to stress and my continuous impatience, they have suffered in quality greatly and they could've looked better than what you see. The symbols turned out better than expected, though, so it's probably one of my more favorite ones out of the bunch. ;;

...I think I can pull that off. Give me a few days when I have time and I'll attempt to make an avi. '^'

Oooo, this is interesting-- wine is a color? Since when? lol That, I've got to try. ...once I finish Sadrain's challenge. ;u;

----------

Whelp, I better go knock out. It's like... 11:23 pm where I'm at. I'll try to get on tomorrow if there's nothing going on. Strongly doubt it. The holidays are rolling around now and it's getting pretty busy for my family. ;;

*sees first page posts* ....Challenge accepted. *sunglasses on and rolls out of the thread*

@Uma- lol, its also my daughters name.

But it was my username first. I have been using the name Cora Lorington since back in 2003. I just got tired of the silly people who insist on A) using my full username because they don't feel comfortable shortening it even though I told them to. Or B) calling me simply Lorington.....silly people.

omg saddie!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Avi o.0

Arikana, I love your avatar! It's really superb, surely you must like this one?

Sadrain, what item is that rainbow you are wearing??? It's lovely! I did not get a chance to really discuss your avi last night but wow, you really did well and I adore the arm warmers, that is a great item and the rainbow behind of course is great. What are those dainty wings? I would love to have those. Hehe, we both started with red hair!

Xun, you are a fantastic artist! Wow! That one of Mizeria is so excellent and I love the symbols, no wonder they are your favorite, but I like that headshot the best! I left you a comment!

Cora, that is so nice, wow, you have a daughter, any other kids?


Ok I put the first Endeavor avatar up. It happens to be mine, just thought I would get the ball rolling so send me in those avatars. You don't have to actually change into it if you don't want to. ^_^

@Uma- I have two daughters, twins, Moiraine and Cora. They are four, and my world ^.^

As funny it is, the rainbow, wings and armwarmers all come from same item - Irlandeza's Blessing. It's an old MI (I think 2011 March or April) that I thought I would never use for rainbow pose (it has monochrome, too). xD In my other avatar I am about to save, I am using a scarf from it.

Thank you so much for the compliments, I had very much fun making it and had quite a few ideas as I made it, but decided to go for this. xD I did make another, and I am going to use it briefly and then make a signature of this and that avatar, since they're like a pair. :) And then return to this, probably. xD

Also, wow, verry interesting avatar you've got there! Quite different from your usual ones, but I like it! The way you faded those items together is amazing, like the indigo and purple. Mm. Not sure what you used, but it looks gorgeous.

Xun, I really like that Mizeria headshot! Have you thought of doing commissions here, opening an artshop?

Arikana, you look badass. *_* Must be one of my favorites from you!

So, has anyone got all the new RIGs yet? How do you like them? I bought 3, and only Lunae's Blessing really caught my fancy from those. But I REALLY want Anka Acolyte and Petal dancer. *p*

Ehaahaha, yeah. Wine's one of the new colour palettes introduces three months ago. I don't know if you saw the announcement, but you can view it here.

Well, looks like you have a load of challenges now. :P

I hate it because it has pink. I absolutely hate pink. Unless if it's that lovely wine shade. XD <3

And the rainbow item, both the rainbow and the wings, Rainy's using is from the Irlandeza's Blessing DI. :3

I hadn't seen the announcement, I just had seen some new dust color items in shop, but... Are all items getting these recolors?? 8D

Thank you very much. ;u; I've read your comment and thank you for the feedback. Even though my art has the current quality you see now, I want to continue to get better cause I'm more than positive to say-- my art isn't as amazing as others you'd see around deviantArt.

I've considered doing that. However, my schedule as of now appears to be far too hectic for me to actually open up a shop at the moment. Not only that, but I also want to get feedback in the art threads to see how much I can sell my art for.

Oo, I didn't see that, but I did check it out. Wine looks like a fantastic color... even though it appears that I don't have enough items to work with the color. I'll figure something out, though. lol I'd like more, honestly. It keeps my brain active and it keeps me busy.

@Rainy: Uh, I don't know. x.x I probably do know, but my brain has the information stashed away in it and doesn't feel like relinquishing any of it. >.> And I refuse to punt my brain, so it gets away with being sneaky. >.>

@Xun: Um, buy more wine stuff? 8D
It's an awesome colour palette, so it never hurts to get more? :P

Cora those are both such pretty names. I bet they are your world. I don't have any kids, never wanted them actually. But to have two girls would be lovely.

Ah Irlandeza's Blessing! I must obtain that somehow, I will scour the MP for it. Really nice and versatile item, look at that scarf. I like the new rainbow set you are wearing.

RIG? *vague* Where is that? I'll have to go and look.

Arikana, you should take out the pink. Really that hood thingy and the what are those...feathers? Very nice.

Xun I totally understand not having time to do stuff. I've been out all day long doing errands.

From Anka eggs in donation shop, rotation items, something like that.
I still don't have one from last egg. ): And bunch in general. >.< Seems like petal dancer and those are hard to get this round.

@Uma: RIG stands for Random Item Generator. If you go to Sebastian's Archaic Antiquities store, you'll see there's an Amethyst Anka Egg item. If you get one, open it via usable items tab on your inventory page to see which of the five items possible items you'll get. :3 You can check out the announcement to see what the five options are, as well as to read a bit of mini-storyline from not one, but two NPCs. (What a treat!)

And, no thanks. I mainly made this avatar to showcase the new rig items since they were just released. :P I'll probably change soon. :3


@Rainy: Really? I know Espy got a crap load of Ass Fairys when she opened fifteen eggs. And by 'crap load', I mean about half. XD
That's why she is or was trying to sell a good portion of Ass Fairys. :P

Got and was selling what? o_O;

Oh, whoops, sorry about that. Quite a few of us on staff got used to Mon's...nickname...for Petal Dancer while she was pixeling it. The nickname was Ass Fairy. For a better explanation as to why she nicknamed it that, see HERE.

I got a couple of things that look interesting. I got some cow polka dots. and I guess I will try for the other two items, thanks! Now I'm going to need to consider making another avatar. XD

What are you guys all doing today? We're going to watch a movie but I don't know what yet.

Cow spots!! I, personally, love them so much!! <3

Good luck getting the other items, Uma! :)

Thanks, I have not tried yet. Maybe I will try now.

Yay, good luck!! I hope you get them all with ease! :)

White, red, and a touch of gold. ...I think there's yellow instead, but it could pass as gold though, right? ;u;

So I finished Sadrain's challenge. What do you guys think? |D6

Devine. I quite like it o.0

Thank you 'u'

...I must admit, it feels quite cluttered, sadly.

Only near the waist area and only because of the two patterns.

I think it looks divine too Xun. I don't mind the clutter but I tend towards clutter. Anyhow, good job on that challenge!

I am doing some sewing today for my doll. What are you guys doing?

Finishing up christmas presents o.0

Ooh that is a good idea! I have some wrapping to do and hubby is not home. I should do that. I almost wish it would snow.

Its crazy how little snow we have right now.

It's crazy how I've had like NO snow at all! And I'm in Canada! XD

I like cluttered avatars, only if the clutter is organized. >.> XD

I like that avatar, Xun, good job. :) Makes me think of quite the interesting character, really!
