Hello guys!
Luck's favourite hobby is: Writing!
I love writing with a passion. The written word has always been absolutely amazing to me. I love Calligraphy, to writing the stories to poetry. Everything about the written word makes me smile. Some stories are so vivid; almost real! It is my intention that one day I may publish a story just like the ones I read everyday. My favourite book is Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey.
Other Hobbies include: Art (Water colour, ink, multimedia, costuming), lolita, cosplay, cooking for my Hunni, watching anime, being a book worm, Gaia Towns2, Avatar making, LARPing (Live Action Roleplay)
Hello and let me show you a war that is never ending.
the game: Warhammer 40,000™
there is a lot of lore behind this so i will just skim over it as best as i can.
For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of hi inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium, for whom a thousand souls die every day, for whom blood is drunk and flesh eaten. Human blood and human flesh - the stuff of which the Imperium is made. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. This is the tale of those times.
It is a universe you can live today - if you dare - for this is a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope. If you want to take part in the adventure, then prepare yourself now. Forget the power of technology, science and common humanity. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the slaughter of thirsting gods.
But the universe is a big place and, whatever happens, you will not be missed...
this is just the message on the first page
What is this you ask? well its warhammer 40k a table top game. you use models you put together and paint so there is alot of customizing (skill people can make custom models as well) and there are several warring factions to chose from
- Space Marine (this has alot of subfactions) - Chaos Space Marines - Astra Militarium (formally known as Imperial Guard) - Chaos Daemons (yes its spelled like that) - Sisters of Battle - Orks - Necron - Tou - Eldar - Dark Eldar - Dark Angels - Blood Angels - Grey Knights - Imperial Knights - Tryinids - And lots more
i will admit this though. Inital investment is high. Paint runs around 2 bucks a pot and you will need alot of paint. the models range from 5 to 120 bucks. the rule book runs for about 50 and the codex to run an army cost about 50 as well. so i say you will have to pay around 1,000 dolars to have a large enough army to play most games which is about 2,000 point games.
i have a long enough post as is so if you want to know more i would be delighted to help you out.

That sounds amazing. I have an expensive hobby as well called LARP. Costuming: (depending on Character) mine costed $25. Bow: $30-40 Arrows: $30 for three. Short sword: roughly $30. (This is making some of it by hand and not having the fancy weapons. Fancy Latex weapons cost $100s of dollars.) Game cost $45. To and from event: $100. Food $60. Camping equipment. OMG. So expensive. But it was so fun. Bloop Bloops are amazing. I think that is why we have these amazing hobbies. I do have a friend that is into Warhammer 40 000. He has 3 sets of minis I believe. He will sit and repaint them. And repaint them. And repaint them. lol. He loves painting minis.
sounds like what my brother is doing. He made...i guess a dog suit...looks a bit like a skunk but he did it by hand. now he is working on a gundam suit.
painting Mini's is a fun part of it LOL. i can post some pictures of my army.

Awesome! You paint your minis well. I feel for your brother. The funniest Gundam costume I have seen was someone putting a box over themselves and writing Gundam on it. I doubled over laughing.
i think that is also a Giaonline item you can get LOL

Yay! A fellow writer! I have an extensive series that I'm developing right now and a stand alone book that I'm trying to lay out for me to write and then hopefully publish. :]

Let the list begin:
I write fiction, mostly furry based these days, I guess I could write something non furry but they're just so much fun hehe.
I play xbox from time to time or I'll watch some anime, or if I'm not doing that Im spending time on the net looking for more bits n bobs to add to my paintball marker. (Here's a rough idea of what it currently looks like)
and when I'm doing none of that I am spending my time snuggled up with the most amazing boyfriend I've ever dated.

Sadly Minecraft has never posed much interest for me and I personally love playing at the site I work for. Bedlam Paintball in Edzell Scotland.
I havent visited any other sites yet but I mean to in the future, will add a new pic soon of how my Marker has upgraded recently
