Super Albino Llama: Llamas are awesome! (115)
My Bio
Please do not send me a LLama, if you do not want thanked, or just want a Llama in return. I was raised by my Grandma to say thank you if someone gives me something. Right now I can't afford to give one back. It makes me feel that the person is rude if they have, on their profiles, not to thank them and even more so if they have that comments thanking them will be ignored.

I am an aspiring author, songwriter, poet, artist, nature photographer, and jewelry maker (All of them aspiring, as of now.) A lot of my creative talent I inherited from my Paternal grandmother...She could play, guitar, harmonica, mouthharp (Which was the thing that sounded like a tight rubberband being plucked), and she could play the piano...I am wanting to think she, also, knew how to play the banjo. She could sew clothing that looked like it came from the store, knit, crotchet, embroider (Which she taught me), and I am sure there are other talents that I am forgetting.

The gentleman in the photograph is John Bell Grimes (My gg or ggg-paternal grandfather on my dad's mother's side.)

I have no photos on the site that the link is posted below this information, but if anyone uses the link, I can earn credits or money from any purchases and/or sales made. I am hoping to be able to earn enough to get a few items for my photmanipulations with what I garner.

Thank you, LaDar

I tried making this one look pixelated, but it was a fail at that. Although, I do think it looks pretty cool. The disappearing glass that resulted, was neat. Enjoy, LaDar I'm a bit disappointed in this one and plan on making it over when I can. My mic is acting up or I would have tried doing a voice-over instead of trying to do it with written words. The way I did it, I think, took away from how the story should look. Enjoy, LaDar The Newest one that I had to do: I wanted to do a Chroma Key (Green Screen) video, but it was taking too long to get everything ready and I had a lo of editing to do, so I decided to post the short version an

I now have my iron... I am going to try and make a video of it, but idk...My PC's supply cord may not be long enough. (I mean make a video of the craft project, not the iron. ) Update: I posted the pic in my scraps.

You seem to have gone v quiet.  I do hope that all is well with you.........
Hi, yes, all is well. I have just been on hiatus for a while getting my house in order. How are u?
You asked me to remind you that you wanted to finsih reading this - which I believe you started then ran out of time.

Well, here it is again, as requested:  omnivore7.deviantart.com/art/U…

I'll be interested to read your comment on it: in my view the writer has some serious talent.
He does, but he needs to work on his proof-reading before he submits. I find that I go over my own stuff several ties just to find all the things that I have wrong. He also might want to add a glossary for some of the words...like the one that means foul smelling...I had to look that up. Also, truncated should be before the first limb and not after the second one. Also, when he is yanked off his feet might need to be reworded...it kind of made it seem that he was literally yanked from his feet...like his feet were still on the ground.

In the show, didn't Teela find out that Adam was He-Man? I was thinking her dad was the leader of the guards. It has been so long since I watched He-Man and Shera...however u spell her name (anyways...Adam's sister.)

I've been learning about filmmaking in an online course and I think it would be awesome if someone did some live-animation with He-Man, Shera, the Thundercats, and others from the 80's. They have done it with so many others, so why not them.
So you found some errors? You have sharp eyes! 

That slightly archaic style suits the fantasy subject matter, I think; it takes our mind to a world which is not out own prosaic one, and that matters, I think.  But it does mean looking up some words too!

I'm not sure what you mean about truncated, though; in this context it's adverbial - with adjectival connotations: ie the limbs retreated having been truncated.

I think he IS yanked from his feet - the tentacle grabs both ankles and fells him and then drags him along the ground.  That's how I read it, anyway.

No, Teela didn't ever know that Adam is He-Man in secret (though her father did.) So the tragedy here is the inability to explain (he's under oath to keep the secret) or to understand (she doesn't know why he acts so oddly, where he vanishes to, why he comes back exhausted and injured and won't tell her.)  And it's clear that they love one another - but Adam can't admit it, because of his higher duty, and Teela can't tell him because he's heir to the throne and above her - but she can't quite hide how she feels about him, nor he about her.....
I thought the way the author handled that mismatch, those telling silences, that unspoken feeling, her shift from anger to pity and worry for him was really well done. I've never ever seen MOTU treated as serious literature like this - and it works too, because he can genuinely write and understands character so well.

The full length story is just amazing - I can't recommend it enough - and it has a LOT of fans.

Do you mean live animation like Ralph Bakshi and Rotoscoping?
When I'm reading, I stumble over errors, they are like roadblocks when I'm trying to read. I found one book, that had so many errors that I almost quit reading it, because I have to stop reading and figure out what the error is supposed to be. Most times it's easy to discern, but there are a lot that it's not that easy to. Then there are the missing words lol...I have that happen to me a lot in my own writings and I don't see how people can send their works to be published without making sure each and every word is there and spelled correctly. I bet by the time I finally get my first book published I will have gone over it several hundred times.

Well...try reading the passage about the truncated limbs both with truncated where it currently is and then with it as "truncated limbs". For example if the passage was:

"The blade was swift in its descent and sent the limbs truncated away."

Try it this way:

"The blade was swift in its descent and sent the truncated limbs away."

Yes, I know, but I think it would have been a bit better if he would have perhaps said he was yanked from the ground by his feet. Then maybe the reader could see the tentacle snaking around his ankles and yanking his feet from underneath him.

Oh, ok, well...as I said it has been several years, idk how many really, since I have seen He-Man. The way you just explained it had tears forming in my eyes and I never got that from the story. I think Omni needs to add a few thoughts for Adam to have, where he is telling Teela in his mind why he can't tell her, so that the audience can experience his anguish with him. the reader can see and hear teela's anguish, but they can only see that Adam is physically drained. they get a sense of how emotionally drained he is, but not to what extent.

I agree, it is very well done and if I had a book in my hands that Omni had published, I probably wouldn't be able to put it down.

Uhmmm, I have no idea, who or what those 2 are, but I wrote them down so I can google them. I think I mean as in when they made the cartoon "Fat albert" into a live movie. They first had them as cartoon characters who then became real people.

Oh, thank you so much.
