If its not one thing, its another.
I swear, just when I was finally starting to get things back under control and start trying to create captions again, something has to come up and throw it all off again. This time, it turns out my temporary living arrangements are proving much more temporary than they were supposed to. In short, by the end of next month, the person who's condo I am staying in is moving back in full time, which means I need to be at least on my way to moving out full time. And that means trying to find something affordable in my area on a very low salary. Or I have to find a new job with a higher pay, then find something affordable. Or get a second job, then find something affordable in the area. Needless to say, I'm not in a good mood right now. And to make it frustrating, I really wanted to make some captions. I had some good ideas, and it usually helps me de-stress a bit. But because I'm so worked up about trying to figure out a way to live, I'm suffering from writers block. I can't get my writing to flow.
Eventually more work will show up here, I promise. But in the mean time, bear with me. Until I can come up with a way to bring in more income, most of my energy will be directed towards solutions.

Temporary Caption Hosting
I've been having trouble with my usual host for extra large captions, so until I get that straightened out I'll be using my blog to host them.

Wherefor Art Thou?
So it has been quite some time since I've posted to the blog. Many of you, if you still check in, may wonder what has kept me from here. Much has been going on in my life, and sadly none of it good.
For starters, my car decided to commit suicide. The engine, for reasons as of yet unknown, destroyed itself when I was making a trip to see a friend. I had less than 50k miles on it. Toyota, despite all physical evidence to the contrary, claimed that it was caused by an oil leak. Which does not explain why their was enough oil left on the side of the road to have prevented the damage, nor why the low oil indicator did not come on until After visible smoke was coming from the hood due to oil burning off as it hit the hot engine. Needless to say, they have refused to cover the repairs, which includes replacing the engine. Fortunately I have an excellent insurance company, and we were able to get them to cover the costs. Don't buy a Toyota.
Second, many of you may remember that I had gotten into a Kigurumi, a type of cosplay that involves wearing a mask based on anime characters. You may remember that I had finally gotten my mask, and how proud I was of it. Well in just the few short months that I was part of the kigurumi community, I was attacked, insulted, and treated with such a lack of respect by so called fellow performers (some of whom I had thought of as friends), that I am quitting entirely. I've already made arrangements for the disposal of my mask and gear. I'll go back to regular cosplay, where in the nearly ten years I've been doing it and thousands of people I've met, I've never been treated with anything less than the utmost kindness and courtesy, even by those who had no idea what cosplay was. Needless to say, this has been quite upsetting for me.
There have been other things as well, that I won't list in detail at the time, that have conspired to keep me from here.
The good news, though, is that I have started captioning again. Its a bit slow getting back into the groove, I'm a bit rusty. But I'll get back in the groove a little at a time, and soon you'll have new works by me to enjoy. So, for those of you who still visit my blog, thank you for the patience. Your wait is, hopefully, over and soon new captions, stories and random thoughts will begin to appear.

Formspring Question
Yet another formspring question:
Which would make you happier to create? A cap that you don't think is very good, but is VERY well received, or a cap that you think is great, but receives no comments whatsoever?
Formspring Question
Today's Question:
First off, let me say that I'm truly moved by your offer. This is incredibly generous of you and very touching that people are willing to reach out this way.
Hi I hope everything is drying out and is going well I have a question for you....I as a huge book reader have many books I no longer read and if someone loses books I'd like to send some to replace is there any type of book you were looking for?
First off, let me say that I'm truly moved by your offer. This is incredibly generous of you and very touching that people are willing to reach out this way.
Kink of the Day
As a Gemini Leo Leo with mild ADD, my tastes and preferences change often, sometimes seemingly in contradictory ways. So, I thought, that whenever something in particular catches my fancy, I'd keep a record of it here. That way, should anyone wish to make a caption for me, they can look and see what the latest button pusher is for me. Sometimes its a particular situation, sometimes a certain type of image, sometimes its a certain model, etc..
Oh, and don't feel that you can only caption me with my current Kink. Feel free to use others, or even past Kink of the Day's. I mean, if something turned me on enough to make it onto this list, I'm still going to find it sexy even if its not my newest obsession or current focus.
Today's Kink:
Wonder Woman
So Best Buy had a sale on DVD collections, including the original Wonder Woman television series. So naturally I had to buy all three seasons of it and have been watching it ever since. For those of you who've never had the chance to see it, I highly recommend it. So naturally, i've been in a Wonder Woman sort of mood.
Now of course, there is only one true Wonder Woman, and that is, of course, Lynda Carter. No one will ever be able to replace her:
Of course, despite my dedication, that does not mean that I won't accept other versions as well

A couple of Quick Captions
Ok, so I know that I've been gone for a while, but I have not forgotten about all of you here. I've been working on a couple of more involved projects, but so far they are not yet ready to post. But rather than leave you all waiting, I have a couple of little captions I came up with here and there. You can find them after the jump.

Drawn To Life
I don't normally double post my work like this, between two places, but this time its for a good reason.
This one was done as an experiment using some new techniques and tools. It may take a little while to load if you are on a slower connection though.

Formspring Message
I recieved a message on my formspring:
"My prayers are with you..."
To whomever sent this, thank you. I appreciate that so many here are thinking of me.
I've been slowly getting things put back together. My car is running, though not without problems. My phone has been replaced. My laptop still remains unknown. Many of my books are lost, and will need to be replaced over time. Various other items are still being sorted, to see what can be salvaged and what must be replaced. Work and life goes on. I'm grateful that, despite being in the place that got damaged the worst, Talia was unscathed, needing nothing more than a good hair brushing. The items in my truck were relatively unharmed, so most of my tools are fine. My father got a bonus at work (he saved the company over a million and a half a year, so its well deserved), so they were able to help a bit.
In the meantime, I try to focus on things that are positive. I've started working on next year's cosplay, my friends and I are currently reviewing possible choices to work with. I've even been tinkering around with a new roleplaying game. Its inspired by the webcomic "weregeek". The basic premise is that the players each play as themselves, and they get powers based on what 'geekdom' they are most tied to. So for example, I would be a 'cosplay geek', and my powers would come from my cosplays. Someone else might be a video game geek, and get powers based on video games. There really isn't too much more to it than that.
So, that's pretty much where I'm at.

Aftermath
Those of you on the east coast, or those of you who follow the news, know that there was a recent hurricane.
I bring this up, because one of the results is that my car has gotten flooded. I'm not hurt, the car is being repaired. Please don't ask for more detail than that, I really don't want to talk about it. But I did lose a number of my belongings, including a large stock of my books, and possibly both my laptop and cellphone, both of which got wet. As of writing this, I am not home, have not even yet been home. Some family members took me in for the time being. I am hoping to get home later today. However, I do not yet know if my home even has power yet, and I may have lost much of my food. Needless to say, it is going to take time for me to get back on my feet, and possibly even longer before I'm in a good enough mood to start captioning again. For those who have made recent comments and are awaiting responses, or those simply waiting for new work to show up, please be patient. Eventually, I will be back, but I simply need time.
P.S. to those who know me on the Haven, I can not remember my password right now, so I can not access it. If someone would be kind enough to copy and paste this post in my "until the blogs return" post I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey Angel, it's not a question. But I'd just love to say, I love your captions, and I really hope everything works out with this whole moving thing. :3

Otakon Blues
Ok, so I was prepping up my Otakon report when I got the first round of photos from my friends who were with me.
The results were not good.

Back
Ok, I'm back now from Otakon. I need a bit of time to decompress (my toes especially), but soon I will be posting stories and the like. I did not take many photos myself, but I'm hoping to soon get copies from the others of my group, as well as my copy of the quote list. Its not an Otakon without a quote list.
Expect to see updates soon!

Otakon 2011
Alright folks, I'm gearing up for Otakon. I'll be gone for a while, but hopefully I should have some pics and stories to share when I get back. Keep an eye on the image searches, you're likely to find pictures of me popping up.

Today's Kink:
Cammy White
I decided that, since I was making a whole bunch of Cammy Caps, to just go ahead and make it an official KOTD. In particular, this cammy:
I don't know why, but there is just something about her that I really like
There's just something about her that stands out, I just can't quite put my finger on it
Well, whatever it is, she is definitely a lot of fun to caption. You can find her deviantart page here:
http://onpaperwings.deviantart.com/
Another good one is her:
She goes by the name Ikuy, and you can find her on deviantart.

Cosplay
Ok, so as some of you know, Otakon is coming up (this week in fact). So I've been spending a lot of time gearing up for that. I'm still settling in and unpacking at my new place. Oh, and I work outdoors, so I was outside for about 8 hours a day all during the heatwave (105 degrees F, baby!).
But, fear not! This is not another excuse post. No, there are captions below!

A Song For Me
I caught this song on the radio the other day, I finally managed to track down the lyrics to it. This song could have been written just for me, it suits me perfectly.

Tears of an Angel
So tonight is the last night in my home. I'm in my room, empty now for the first time in 27 years. There are so many things I'm leaving behind. The carpet that I picked out for myself, I was so excited when it arrived that I slept on it that night. The trees I spent so many hours in, I climbed them, I put hammocks up in them. The lawn I used to play on and catch lightning bugs on late at night. The quiet little street I used to ride my bike on, and the park I used to walk to to play tennis or use the playground equipment. The bathroom that I redid so recently, I spent an entire day arranging the tiles to have a pattern.
I knew that I would leave one day, though part of me wished that I could have bought this house when my parents moved. But even knowing I'd leave, even knowing I'll have more freedom in my life, its still heartbreaking to have to go. I've been trying not to let it bother me, my parents need me to be strong. But here, in my own little space on the web, I can let the tears fall.

Moving Day
So today is the day I move. Well, sort of. I'll be moving just about all of my possessions, but I won't actually be moving until almost next weekend (I'm staying in my current place to help my folks out as needed). My desktop, which contains all of my captioning supplies (I don't use my laptop for this in case someone finds it) will be getting packed up and moved later today. As such, I won't be able to really make captions for quite some time. In addition, the place I'm moving in to has no network setup. There is internet (DSL, I've heard mixed reviews about this does anyone have any experiences with it? I'm on FIOS right now), but I'll have to set up a network and run cable before I can get my desktop online again. Or even my laptop, once I make the move, for that matter. I don't know how long this will all take. I may be able to have it set up tomorrow, and can immediately come back once I make the final move. Or it might take me several more days, since I need to prioritize more immediate needs, such as making sure I have room to actually sleep. Its not a big room, I can't even fit all of my current furniture in it, so its gonna take a lot of organizing.
Knock on the Door
So I'm trying not to think about moving, so I decide to see if I can write some captions. I actually owe a caption to someone, so I figured I'd work on that one. I was looking for inspiration, and this one just suddenly jumped up and demanded that I write it. It didn't really suit the person I owed preferences, so I kept it for myself.

Nobody Understands
I'm so freaking tired of this.
Why do people keep expecting me to be happy and excited about moving? I'm being kicked out of the only home I've ever had, losing my one little place of the universe that was almost mine. I've got nowhere to go, so I have to stay at a friend's. So now I'm paying a lot of money for a single, significantly smaller, room that I can't do anything to make more comfortable. The walls are painted a terrible color, but I can't change them. I can't make a single hole in the walls, so I can't hang anything up. I don't even have room for most of my belongings, including things like my costume making supplies, something which anyone who knows me knows is a major passion of mine, and I'm still reliant on my parents so I'm not even getting out from under their rule. Plus I get to add a whole bunch of someone else's rules on top of that, and I'm supposed to be happy?
Oh, and lets not forget that this is a TEMPORARY arrangement, and that I have, AT MOST, one year before I have to be out. So I have to find, and purchase, something I can afford before then. And yet everyone keeps telling me that I should wait and get my license before I try to find a house. Wonderful idea. Too bad its FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. The license exam is in April. That's about 9 months from now. It takes several months to find out if you passed or not. Even assuming I pass (because if I fail I don't get another chance until the next April), I likely won't know until at least June or July that I have a license. So that leaves me, at best, 1 month to find a new job that pays better, save up enough money for a down payment, find, go through the closing process, and purchase a house of my own (a process that takes usually well over a month by itself, simply by virtue of the necessary inspections, contracts, etc) and move in. And that is all assuming that I pass and recieve notification by June. Any delay and I'm living in my car. Yet when I tell people this, I'M the idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about because everyone else knows so much more than me.

Shadowrun Story Snippet
So my friends and I have been gearing up to get into Shadowrun. Shadowrun is a dice based RPG set in a dystopian future. It combines scifi elements such as cybernetic body parts, etc with magic and magical races. You play the part of a shadowrunner, who is basically a criminal for hire. Mr. Johnson (the name of ALL clients, for privacy, in shadowrun) hires shadowrunners to accomplish tasks of questionable legality. It could be stealing corporate secrets, or retrieving items, or anything else they want to pay for. It actually looks to be quite a bit of fun. I've been reading the rules and going through the character creation process. Well, it turns out that in fourth addition, in the extended rulebook Augmentation, there are rules for sex changes. I'm not talking about rules that could be used to create a sex change. There are actual rules specifically for it.
So yeah, genderswapping is an official part of Shadowrun. Needles to say, this sent my mind off on some interesting thoughts for character backstories. And, consequently, inspired this short story snippet. Really its more of an introduction to the story, it just gets things started. I think it could be quite fun to write some of the things that come next. But let me know what you think? Would you like to see more? Any suggestions or advice? Leave me a comment.

I will be moving this coming weekend. As such I will not be around much until the move is complete and I am able to get my new 'place' set up.
Please be patient during this time.
Thank you.

Cure for boredom (A Guest Cap Return)
So, my previous post was my first ever Guest Cap. As such, I wanted to do something a little special for the capper (namely Caitlyn from Caitlyns Masks) in return. This is what I came up.
Obviously, it features Caitlyn, but someone else managed to make an appearance and, well, you'll just have to read it to find out. I don't want to spoil anything, so just enjoy it!
This is a longer series, so it can be found after the jump.

Guest Cap
So this is my first ever Guest Cap! Woohoo!
It comes to me from Caitlyn at Caitlyn's Masks It is the first ever caption to be directly inspired from my Kink of the Day threads, making them entirely worth while. So check out this awesome cap she made me, then go check out her site where you can find the original post, including a detailed description of what went into making it. To be honest, I've always been jealous of Caitlyn's posting ability. I've always wished I could post such elequoent posts, but my thought process is usually so disjointed that, by the time I post the caption, I'm lucky if I can add one or two lines about it. But I'm sure none of you care about that, so on to the good stuff!

Camping Trip Prank
I know, another Denise Milani caption. What can I say, I want her body. She may just have to be my next kink of the day.
This was actually inspired by the first two images. The facial expressions just really set the tone, and I ran with it from there. I don't want to say too much and ruin it though, so you'll just have to read it. The full set can be found after the jump. There are four panels in total.

Elevator Ride
Whew, so I think I'm starting to get my caption mojo back a bit. This one started out much simpler in my head, but it just sort of kept getting bigger and more intricate. Its a bit long, but hopefully everyone will still enjoy it.
For some reason, the Blogger image host has shrunken the image, making the text hard to read. Download the full size version below:

Those are My shoes
Sorry I haven't been captioning much, been having a lack of inspiration. This is actually one that I've been toying around with for some time in the back of my mind, I thought I'd whip it up and see how it turned out, and see if it got the creativity flowing a bit. This is for a friend, you know who you are.

Jeremy sees Through Angel's Eyes
So the first ever entry into my little experiment "Through Angel's Eyes" has come from Jennifer at http://jenniferstgcaps.blogspot.com/ I opted to do this one as a story with images, as the storyline simply grew too long for a more traditional caption. I hope that everyone will enjoy it, and that it will inspire some further ideas as well.
This time around, Jeremy just wanted a chance to explore his submissive fantasty, but what he gets is much more...
*note - holy... this thing took me Forever to write.*

Update
Ok, so I spoke to my advisor this morning, he said he put in a call to the registrar yesterday to get a status, but had not gotten any response.
Then, this afternoon, I called the registrar directly, whereupon I was transferred to the surliest representative ever. I barely got two words out of my mouth before she was jumping on me. However, she did tell me that the registrar had gotten an email stating to post my degree that day, and that they did so. So, supposedly, I have indeed graduated now. However, diplomas don't get mailed until sometime in June, so I'm not taking anyone's word for it. Until I actually have my diploma in hand, or a signed legal document stating that it is on its way, I'm not going to let my guard down. Lawyers are still on standby, just in case.

Philosophy
I know that, most, if not all, of you come to this blog for my captions, and possibly for the poor things that are as close as I come to stories. You don't come to read my rambling thoughts or the details of my life I share. You certainly don't come to hear me talk of philosophy. However, I'm sorry to say, that given what has been happening in my life, I feel less the inspiration to caption and more the need to be philosophical. For those, and I'm sure there are many of you, who aren't interested, skip this post. There is nothing erotic, nothing funny, not even a single picture found within it. There is an intimacy to it, but only the intimacy found in understanding my thoughts a little more, seeing a little deeper inside me. So those many of you, skip this post, wait patiently and the regular function of this site will return.
The rest, read on...

Respect
Why do I never get any respect from the people around me. Not the basic courtesy one extends to a human being, let alone the respect you should accord a friend.
I had proposed a plan to do something with my friends. All but one agreed and wanted to do it. I also asked everyone for schedules so that I could organize it. No one followed through. Again. This is not an isolated incident. Time and time ago I practically have to force my friends to spend time with me. Why do I have to constantly push and push and push to get them to do something they said they wanted to do? Now, this weekend we were planning on getting together. I thought, hey we are all going to be together anyway, why don't we do this then? Only to be told that everyone had already done it. Even though they had agreed to do it together. I'm the only asshole waiting, holding to the agreement. Naturally I'm hurt and upset, they broke their word and didn't even have the decency to tell me. One, eventually, agreed that I was right and apologized. But otherwise I've gotten a whole slew of excuses, including people trying to tell me its my fault. I mean, since when is it ok to break your word to Anyone, let alone a friend you supposedly care about, because you "forgot". Yes, I was told that I shouldn't be upset because they forgot we had made plans. Yeah, that made me feel better. Now, not only did they break their word to me, they also forgot me. Makes me feel really special. And I love being told that I'm "over reacting", and that they don't need to apologize because its "not a big deal". Well maybe its not to them, but it is to me. Imagine if you were a very devout christian. And then one of your friends who is not as devout or maybe not christian, serves you a burger on friday. And then tells you "its not a big deal, its just a burger." (For those who don't know, eating meat on a friday is a sin in most christian religions). It may not be a big deal to the one person, but its a very important thing to the other. All I want is to be given a little basic respect. I get no respect from the people around me or from my family. But I expect more from my friends, and I don't think that is asking too much. I don't expect them to be perfect. But when you make a mistake, when you hurt someone, owe up to it, take responsibility and apologize. Don't try to weasel out of it, or shift the blame elsewhere. Just apologize, sincerely. If you don't understand, ask me to explain. And listen when I do. I do this for them. I don't think its too much to ask that it be done for me in return.

I don't know how much more of this i can take
So, I started my day off with a message from my academic advisor. This message was informing that I DID NOT GRADUATE. This is because I am short 1, yes 1, credit. However, according to my information, I have completed all courses required to graduate. Point of fact, i had met, in person, with my advisor and discussed each and every class on the list, both what I had taken already and what I still needed to take, about a year and a half ago. Everything was approved. I took a course with my advisor instructing over the summer, no mention then. I took another course in the fall, and discussed numerous times my intentions to graduate the next spring. No mention. I registered for the spring, no mention. During the spring, he tells me I'm missing a gym class. I am not, and I send him the documentation to prove it. No mention. Now, after the summer session is already begun, after I have already walked, I am being told that I did not graduate. And that I need to take another course next fall to do so. That means that there is another seven months before I get my diploma. Seven months before I can go to a current or prospective employer with a college degree to earn a higher salary. This also disqualifies me from taking the licensing exam in October. In short, it completely screws me.
And, what's more, no one can tell me what course I'm missing. No one can find where that one credit should have been.
So, this morning, my boss got to see me pacing the parking lot reaming out my advisor over the phone. In all of the classes I had with him, I was always laid back and goofing around. I brought a bottle of scotch to one of his exams and drank through it (scored the second highest in the class too). And now I just unleashed a fury to make a woman scorned look like a candle compared to a conflagration. If this were an anime, buildings would have exploded under the sheer force of my anger. This is how I spent my morning. I also set my father on them. And my father is many things, but the one thing I can always count on him for it is to utterly crush anyone who tries to screw us. If I am a conflagration in my anger he would be the hydrogen bomb.
By the afternoon he had finally managed to get through the red tape and reach the Dean. Now, the Dean is a good guy. We know him, and he's helped me out before. He agreed to personally look into it, and when he did he stated that he can find now reason why I can not graduate. He also agreed to personally endorse a petition that I be allowed to do so. Which is a big help, but it still means that now I once more have to wait to find out what the registrar determines. If they choose to, they can make this as difficult as possible for me.
All in all, NOT a good day.

Poor Angel
So its official. The house is sold. The only home I've known, and I've been told I have to get out by the end of June. Its heartbreaking really. There is so much here that can't be packed up and brought along. The trees that were the closest thing to friends I had growing up. The bathroom we just redid, that I did so much work on. The caulking job on the tile I was so proud of in the kitchen. The carpet for my room I picked out all on my own as kid. So much will be left behind.
It wouldn't be so bad if it were my choice. Especially if I was moving to a home of my own. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I have no place to go. A friend is loaning me a room in a condo nearby. Said friend's job also got moved out of state. So I can stay until my friend either gets a new job here, or after one year they will sell off the condo. Its low income housing, so I can't buy it. I'm grateful, really, but it isn't mine. Its not my home. The room I have is much smaller than what I have now. And the decorations, well, they really don't suit me. And I can't change them, can't repaint, or hang shelves, or anything else I might wish, because its not mine. I'm just crashing there. So I really will not be comfortable, and everyone needs a place they feel comfortable in.
Also, there is the matter of the max 1 year time limit. I have, at most, 1 year to find a place of my own. Trouble is, on my salary I can not afford anything. Dirt is expensive as hell. There is no way I can afford anything that has so much as a square foot of land with it. In fact, on my salary, I can' afford anything that Doesn't have property attached to it either. I can't even afford to buy a trailer in a trailer park. No, I'm not being sarcastic. I actually looked into that as an option. Some of you are probably wondering, why not rent? Well, aside from renting being a waste of money, average rent rates are six to eight hundred dollars MORE a month than what it would cost in mortgage and monthly fees for a condo. So if I could afford to rent, I'd be better off buying a condo anyway. Needless to say, this is a very stressful time for me.
I've been trying to come up with ways to make more money. I am owed some raises at work. The trouble is, with the economy down, no one is getting raises. And that is also why I can't simply get a new job, people in my field are still getting laid off, not hired. Eventually I'll be able to take the licensing exam, and that makes me more marketable. But the next chance isn't till April, assuming that I qualify, and assuming that I pass, it still does not gurantee me increased salary any time soon. Plus there is the chance that I need to be out before I even get to take it. A second job doesn't work, because my current job doesn't have fixed hours. Some days I might be home by lunch, other days I'm not home till 8 or 9 at night. I've thought about trying to make some money here on the internet, but I have no marketable skills. I have no artistic or creative ability, so I can't sell drawings or artwork or other such things. I can't provide any sort of content that could be used in a pay website.

See Through Angel's Eyes (for a price)
As always, I like to experiment with my captions and ideas. I'm always looking for something new and interesting, both for myself and for those who might read my work. So now, I thought I'd try something quite different. This time, YOU get to decide what happens. Yes, you get to be the star of one of my captions.
Here's how it works. New advances in technology have allowed scientists to capture and analyze all of the electrical signals of the human brain at every moment. These signals can be transferred to another person and "played" for them. The end result is that the person recieving experiences everything that the person sending does, as if they Were that person. This has lead to the birth of a new form of entertainment. For a price, a person can 'rent' time as someone else. People are fitted with implants that allow for the transfer, as well as having the ability to override motor control. Then customers use a special interface which allows them to recieve their chosen person's experiences and take control of that person's motor control as well. Thus customers are able to truly experience life as someone else! Of course the people being controlled are unable to control themselves, passengers in their own body as they move to someone else's whims...
So here is where you come in. I (Angel) for monetary reasons have been forced to have the implant installed and be rented out. Renting is expensive, but there are many who are willing to pay the price. So tell me, how long are you willing to pay for, and what exactly do you do with your time as me? Are you looking for a chance to be a pretty girl for a while? Do you have a friend who needs a date? Maybe you know me and just want to see me get humiliated? Or is it something else entirely?
A few rules:
1. no permanent harm or changes, so you could dye my hair or cut it, but you couldn't jump off a building
2. sorry, but I won't get pregnant
3. you control my body, but not my mind, so you can't get access to my bank account and empty it
4. records are kept of who is renting and at what time, so you can't get me arrested, but the records are completely private except in the event of a police investigation, so if its not illegal I can't prove it wasn't me doing it...
5. be sure to let me know what name you want me to use when I credit you
6. be creative and have fun!
Send me what you would do. You can comment on this page, or email it to me at angelwinddancer@gmail.com I will turn your story into a caption and it will get posted here on my blog, with your name for proper credit. So fire up those keyboards, and show me some stories!

Whisper in the ear of an Angel
So, in numerous Blogs I have seen a little box to ask questions of the owner of said blog. I've been thinking about it, and I have decided that it was a good idea. So I finally have one of my own (thanks to Caitlyn for helping me set it up).
Now you can ask me any question you wish. Anything that you have wished to know about me or wanted to ask. I will do my best to answer. Of course, I won't answer some questions, for example I won't give out certain information about myself. I'm sure you all understand, internet safety and all that. But otherwise, please send me your thoughts! Questions, comments, thoughts, anything at all.
Angels need love, so send me yours!

That's your horoscope for today
I saw these images and the story started to form. What might happen to someone who obsesively followed their horoscope's advice, no matter what? I'll admit, I do study some astrology, but most newspaper horoscopes are just ridiculous to me. Still, I think these ones are a bit better than the normal ones.
Graduation
Well that's it then, I is officially an edumacated graducate. I have my fake diploma and my doofy looking hat, and I sat through the final test of boredom. Fortunately, I have a Droid loaded with games and text messaging. After the jump is a transcript of my snarky comments:
Errors in the system
Ok, so apparantley during Blogger's recent system updates parts of my blog have gotten somewhat messed up. I believe that I now have everything straightened out, but some comments may have vanished. So if you see where you had made a comment and it is now gone, I did not delete it. Please, if you wish, repost them, as I may not have had the chance to read some of them.

Body Model
So its experimental caption time again. Once more I have attempted to try captioning in a new way in the hopes of creating something mildly interesting or entertaining. This one is very text heavy, so be warned. Caption located after the jump.
I Hate School
This is me:
This is the summary of my experiences with my recent SQL class:
Any Questions?

The Guardians' Test
Someone really liked my previous captions using Reiq's FFX girls, so I thought I'd do another one. So, I hope you enjoy it.
This one also has the potential to become one of my short stories. What do you think, is it something you'd like to see?

Bad Day Today
It didn’t start off as one, of course. There was no major catastrophe, no string of problems. The weather was nice. For the first time in a while I was working a full week instead of having to lose pay to take some bullshit class. All in all, it seemed like a pleasant sort of day.
I work as a land surveyor. Part of my job is to knock on the door to let people know we were there and we’d be doing a survey of their property. On the second job, a young girl answered. She was probably late teens, maybe as late as her twenties. She was cute, and she smiled at me. She seemed nice enough, she was polite and let us go about our job with no fuss. I even started to think she might have found me a little attractive. You’d think I would have learned by now.
When she answered the door, she was startled, caught off guard. Which is a fairly normal reaction. Few people, I’ve discovered, actually know what a property survey is. So I didn’t think anything of it. It was later, though, that I came back to reality. At that point she knew we were there and that we would be around the property. I told her this myself. She came out later on in the job, leaving to go somewhere. She happened to walk by me, and naturally, I glanced her way. She froze. One look from me and she froze like a rabbit. She smiled a moment later, but by then it was too late. I knew what emotion I stirred in her. Fear. Like everyone, she was afraid of me. And once again I got a reminder of why I come to this place, why I dream of being someone attractive and loved. Because there is no place for the real me, nowhere I belong. People will forever fear me.
There are, ultimately, two basic reactions to me, and they depend on the gender of the person. Woman adopt a classic “hare defense”. They freeze. They smile, they try to be non-threatening or aggressive so as not to provoke an attack in defense of a perceived threat. While at the same time they try not to run, because predators chase things that run. So they try to appear harmless but not defenseless. Men, on the other hand, adopt a “pufferfish” style of defense. When a pufferfish is scared, it inflates its body in order to appear bigger and more dangerous in the hopes of frightening off its attacker. So when a man is scared, especially when they are scared by someone who, like me, doesn’t look like something they should be scared of, they immediately become aggressive. Their egos puff up and they start to tell themselves how they are big and bad, and to prove it they are going to start “kicking sand” at that which scares them. Like children, poking a stick between the bars of a cage to prove they are tougher than the animal within.
In the end, though, the result is the same. I am hated and feared, not because anything I’ve done, but simply because that is what people see when they look at me.
Just one of life’s little reminders that monsters don’t get happy endings.

I Choose You...
This is another one of those ones that just appeared from the bizzarre depths of my mind for no real reason. It just sort of popped into my head. So I spent some time poking around till I found the right photo, then hammered out the rough story I had into a caption.
Avalanche Tour
So a friend and I went to see the Avalanche Tour last friday. It was way awesome, totally worth going for (even if it was the weekend before finals). It featured Halestorm, Skillet, Theory of a Deadman, and Stone Sour. It was a lot of fun. The lead singer for Halestorm is this tiny little girl, but she has enough power in her voice to shake the floors. And their drummer was nuts, he was going crazy. He was practically juggling his sticks while he was playing sometimes. Skillet was a lot of fun too, I was surprised that the female vocals for some of their songs were not from their guitarist but from their drummer. I've never seen that before. Oh, and their violinist was fun, he was totally rocking out while he played. For those who are interested, download links to .rar files containing pictures and short video clips I took while there.

So its official, my finals are, in fact, over with. My last ones ever, if I pass them. It also means I have eaten my last cafeteria meal, which deserves no small amount of celebration in and of itself, simply for the fact that I survived it.
I still can't bring myself to eat manicotti though...

Getting Bored Here...
As always, I like trying new things. In this case, I felt that the image projected an emotion not normally found in captions. Namely, boredom. Hopefully it turned out ok.
Made my Decision
This picture just really called to me, it was just so erotic I had to caption it. It may be the start of a new 'theme' for me...

Short Story
So recently I made a caption for someone on one of the other sites I visit. Now, I generally enjoy the captions I make, but for some reason this one just really grabbed me. There was something about it that just really got me going. I found myself writing far more than could fit in a single panel. I toyed around with the idea of expanding it into a story. I ended up having a bit of free time, so I decided to just go ahead and do it.
You can find the story after the jump. But, be aware that it is set in a world of anthropomorphic animals. If that doesn't appeal to you, feel free to skip this one. But if you do read it, please leave me a comment. Did you like it, not like it, suggestions, constructive critisms. Heck, write me a chapter? Did it inspire you, do you have some new escapade for the characters to be involved with? Share it with me. Anything to let me know if this is something I should try to do again in the future.

Pirate Treasure?
A quickie cosplay cap. Inspired by...well, I really have no idea where this one came from honestly.

AAARRRRGGGGGGGGG
So pissed right now. I got into a discussion with my S.O. A little background first: my S.O. has some self esteem issues. Quite frankly, my S.O. does not believe they are attractive, something that I (and many others) heartily disagree with.
So we got into a discussion, which I used to try and compliment my S.O.'s appearance. Slip in a little about how attractive I find them. I do this a lot. I spend a lot of time telling my S.O. how attractive I find them. All I get is "if you say so" or some other dismisal. Usually it ends up with them all but calling me a liar.
Now, as those who know me know, I'm into costumes. I like cosplay, and I like dress up. So it really shouldn't be a surprise that I like sexy dress up/costumes. They turn me on. My S.O. knows this. Yet, if in the course of my complimenting my S.O., should I mention how I'd love to see them dressed up in a certain way, there is a good chance that I'll end up getting jumped on because I don't find my S.O.'s everyday clothes sexy. My S.O. wears jeans and a tshirt for everyday outfit. Now, this is fine with me. That is who they are, and I've told my S.O. repeatedly that I don't want them to change that for me. My S.O. tells me that they wear nicer jeans and tshirts, more tight and formfitting, for me. And that it hurts that I don't find them "sexy". And that my S.O. feels like they'd have to dress like a hooker for me to find sexy. Now, first off, if I wanted someone who dressed like that I'd be dating someone who dressed like that. I'm dating my S.O. who wears jeans and tshirts. Secondly, jeans and tshirts are casual wear. Not really that sexy. Which, as I said, is fine. Sexy should be something special, a treat enjoyed once in a while. Christmas is magical because it only happens once a year. Lastly, and again I've told my S.O. this, when my S.O. was dressed for their brother's wedding I found them extremely sexy and attractive. My S.O. was dressed in formal wear, and it was very visually exciting. It was certainly something someone could wear in public. But was it something for everyday? Absolutely not. Was it trashy or skanky? Not in the least. It was elegant, and it stil made me want to do quite a few things to my S.O.
But still, no matter what I say or what I do, I always end up the bad guy. And I'm really getting tired of it.

In the mirror
Ok, so I wrote this while drinking, so pardon any mistakes.
I wanted to try and create a sort of interactive feeling with this one, to maybe draw the reader in a little bit more. I'm not sure if I quite caught the essence of it, but hopefully it came out ok.
Another multi parter, the rest of the images are after the jump.
