Signatures I have used, am using, or may use:
AM USING: Don't like my personality? Wait five minutes.
HAVE USED: * "Final Fantasy consumes my life, and that is prob'ly why I'll never have a wife." -- started using at the end of August '05. * "If you don't like my personality, wait five minutes." (first one I ever used.) * "Best lookin' ugly guy around" (most recent before "Final Fantasy" one) * something about Count Dorkula, can't remember exactly what * a shameless beg for a dark cape complete with very stupid rendering from the store shelf (never got donations until my quest thread, and most were from my other selves. But I had fun playing with myself, as always, and ocassionally even with my friends! mrgreen And now I have my coveted cape--now that I'm no longer in a roleplay that uses it!) * "I'm a geek, and proud of it. You're an idiot, and that's just plain pathetic."
CAN'T REMEMBER WHETHER I USED OR NOT: * A plug for the now abandoned Eldon High School roleplay * "Remember--he's NOT a REAL VAMPIRE!" (trying to misquote the Dr. Science spot)
MIGHT USE IN THE FUTURE: * "Darrell the Derelict" * "Six-foot dwarf" (role as Sneezy in the Fascinating Fairytale. Was abandoned by Snow White and died.) * "Dr. Dare-all Dorkula, Painless Dentist--no complaints yet. No customers, either." or: "Dr. Dare-all Dorkula, Painless Dentist--no complaints yet. But all my customers before now were toons!" or: "Dr. Dare-All," etc. "--no pain if I don't work on you!" (All based on role I wanted to pursue in the Toons Unleashed RP, if only people would come back and play with me!) * "Just call me Calendar Guy. Get it? Based on the last name?"
* Suggest my next siggy! PM me!

Part of Anti-Vampirism RP--an experiment |

The following was copied directly from our AVS roleplay:
*To Ugly* "I'm thirsty too, but I'm not whining like you."
Lotus_Santi
"What are they?" *Luke shows him the label.*
Darrell Calendri
*tiredly* "Lotus, I know this is frustrating for you. But if you can't stop provoking him, you're really going to have to leave." *To Darrell:* "How bad is the pain on a scale of 1 to 10?"
Iceman Lucas
Lotus_Santi
*Mumbles and pouts, but keeps quiet.*
SmashYourFaceIn_Jason Wrote: "What about me? I'M thirsty!
*Stops and thinks.* "I'll bet yu are. But I don't want MY wrist broken."
Sandy Bichsel
Iceman Lucas
*Looks at Darrell's wrist as Darrell stops to think how to assign a number to his pain* "More likely a sprain. The wrist is a joint. If 10 is the worst pain you ever had and 0 was no pain at all . . ."
[Okay, I erased the irrelevant text, but why do the attributions sometimes appear before the quote and sometimes after?}

The following I swiped off the Aurora Light Charity avi contest:

Summary of the Eldon High School Roleplay up to this point |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In first period English, Darrell was goofing off in a new vampire cape. New student Carletta came and flirted with all the boys, including Hugh, who openly flirted back. His girfriend Mary came in and was very jealous and resentful of his change in behavior. Hugh invited Carletta to join their Clique by their favorite tree for lunch, but Darrell tried to avoid conflict by proposing that the girls and boys eat in seperate places this time. (Three girls have been interested in Darrell, which is funny, because in my story he is a geek that none of them want.) At second period chorus, Mary confided in Nicole that she had had a nightmare about marrying Hugh and him being a vampire and biting her. She says she often has dreams that come true. Nicole reacted strangely. At lunch, Hugh confessed to Darrell that he lost his virginity over the summer and that it has changed him in unexpected ways. He feels guilty and becomes easily aroused so that he cannot bear to be close to Mary now. He refuses to tell her because she wants to save herself for marriage and rather than crushing her ideal image of him and making her feel pressured, he wants a different relationship--possibly Carletta. Meanwhile, Celest told Mary that Hugh had had sex, an idea that insensed Mary and she did not believe, since there was no way Celest could know, etc. Carletta, quoting Charlotte's Web, said, "I love blood." She refused to eat, until Mary talked her into taking a bite of cheesecake. Then she ran and threw up. Gladimus was hiding up in the oak Tree and heard most of Hugh and Darrell's conversation. Jumped down and ridiculed them. They threatened him into not revealing Hugh's secret, then departed. Nicole, extremely spaced out, wandered off campus and went to the forest. An angel, Israfel, used a dog to guide her to find a dead body in a meadow with two tiny marks in his neck. She sat down and calmly played her flute. The angel sang a mournful song along with it. Eventually she wandered back onto campus and told Sandy, Melanie's boyfriend, of her discovery. Darrell and Hugh joined them, and also Aya. Carletta overheard their discussion, was alarmed, and thought to herself, "Why can't I remember what happened that night after . . . ?" She hurried toward the library. The boys helped Nicole to the office to call the police and seek counseling for her; she was acting very out-of-it. Mary told Melanie of her dream that morning, and Melanie comforted her, but Mary was certain of impending doom. It began to rain. Lunchtime was about to end. Celest ran into Carletta. She told Carletta that she could see auras and saw lust all over Hugh. Carletta asked her what she saw in her aura. Celest said that Carletta only wanted people to think she was cruel. Carletta snickered and left with a smile. In the office Darrell dialed the police, and Nicole told Lueitenant Sanchez she found a dead body. He ordered all four of the kids to stay there for questioning. Darrell got nervous, afraid they would all be suspected of murder. As the police questioned Nicole in the outer office, Hugh asked Darrell if he had a crush on Mary. Darrell said she would never go for him. Hugh was frustrated because he didn't want to break Mary's heart. He refused to tell his secret to Sandy, saying he wouldn't understand. Officer Ventura came in and began questioning the boys. A second police car arrived with two more officers and a chaplain. As the chaplain looked up at the dark clouds and pouring rain, the angel Israfel told him to pray like he had never prayed before. When the chaplain entered, he watched Nicole with a strained expression. Since then, he has been questioning her. Celest and Melanie came into the office to see why the police were there while Celest got a Band-aid for a cut finger. Celest could see the bright aura of the angel and the evil presense of the demon. She and Melanie felt uneasy and left.

If you want, you can also answer Bunni's questions. Not about her--well, you can answer them about her, too if you want, I wouldn't mind hearing gossip--ehem--other's comments on her. But I was thinking, if you don't mind, you could answer them about me. Especially since I seem to have become some kind of sex symbol since I started the Eldon High School roleplay, which I am not used to at all, and I'm a little curious to learn why. I mean, I know what an unpopular geek I am at my school, in the story for which I was invented. Ugly, clumsy, awkward with girls, bad breath and clueless about it, dirty-minded, always switching from one weird trend to another and never really fitting in with anybody except my little Clique of semi-outcasts who listen to oldies. So what's the scoop in the RP? I have three girls after me! One of them says it's because she likes vampires, and I happen to be on a Dracula kick. But I wonder what she would do about a real vampire? eek I am thinking maybe these chicks are on a power trip because I'm the one who hosts the RP. In other business: I have started setting up my house (which will duplicate my bedroom to the best of my ability, eventually), in a very cheap way. I put in the cheapest shelf, and no other furniture. I added purple walls since they don't have any normal colors like white and since I have a blacklight in my room. Don't want to spend any more. Still praying for my cape! And they don't have animals or bird cages or perches, so I can't represent my Cockatoo Fifi. I invited my closest friends to stand around inside, and they are there for you to view.

Bunni15 wrote in her journal, "My Slave Log": ANSWER TEH QUESTIONS! i stole this from mr.flufflekin's journal...ANSWER TEH QUESTIONS!
1. Who are you? 2. Are we friends? 3. When and how did we meet? 4. Have you ever had a crush on me? 5. Would you kiss me? 6. Give me a nickname and explain and it. 7. Describe me in 1 word. 8. What was your first impression? 9. Do you still think that way about me now? 10. What reminds you of me? 11. If you could give me anything what would it be? 12. How well do you know me? 13. When was the last time you saw me? 14. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't? 15. Are you going to put this in your journal and see what I say about you?
My response: My answers to "TEH questions":
1. Darrell Calendri 2. I sure hope so 3. How: I rescued you from being chained to a wall. When: not sure exactly, but it was before I got this hairbrained idea to start my own roleplay 4. yes 5. Uh . . . Not sure. I'm afraid you might run away, like the girl I kissed at her birthday party in 6th grade. 6. "Dare-All": a mispronunciation and possible thought association for my name coined by Mary's autistic brother Joshua. Do you think it fits? 7. insane 8. You were the first girl I noticed that was free to claim. 9. I'm still trying to figure out if you're free to claim. 10. The memory of getting my hand eaten off. 11. A bouquet of flounders 12. Well enough to know you constantly surprise me 13. I think it was when you called me a jerk and kicked me in the shins. You kick hard! 14. I could but I didn't want to. (You know--the little insignificant detail about being fictional) 15. Let me think about it . . . My journal up to this point has been the things I would actually write within the story in which I appear. But I could make an exception.

The Next Day
I didn't make an appointment. I wanted to find out if this psychic lady was for real, so I just showed up off the street. Didn't have to give anybody any information ahead of time. Just strode into her office. When she saw me she gave a start. "Vampire!" she shrieked. Thinking anybody could have "read" that, and wondering whether she meant I was a vampire or was dealing with one, I spread my cape and said in my Bela Lugosi accent, "I'm on a Bram Stoker kick." Arabelle frowned. "Why are you fooling around?" she said. "It's not just the cape. I read real vampire all over you. You're in deep trouble." All the color must have drained from my face. I groped for a chair but, missing it and tripping on the cape, fell on the floor instead. I've got to have Mom hem the thing for me. I thought it was short enough. Why do I keep tripping over it? "It caught on the back of the chair," she said, coming to my side of her round table and helping me up. Had she read my mind? I felt tingles up my spine. Not the hem, then? I slipped into the chair. "Do you realize the danger?" she said. "Oh, I realize it," I said. "That is, I know I'm dealing with a real vampire. And I'm not one. At least--" I gritted my teeth. "--Not yet." "You haven't been bitten." A statement, not a question. "No. But I've been threatened." I stopped and used my head again. She could have guessed from the local news that a vampire was on the loose. And why would somebody as young as me, dressed like me, come to her, unless he believed he was in trouble from that vampire? I needed something to convince me she had special abilities before I'd commit to paying her anything. "I want to know how you do business," I said. "Do I pay up front or what? And how can I be sure you can help me?" "I don't know that I can," she said. "You see the timing is a bit awkward with you, Darrell. Maybe we should wait." I gaped. "How did you know my name?" "Your birthday is particularly auspicious. It would be more appropriate for starting things than now." I squinted at her, feeling lightheaded. "You do know February 2 is a holiday, don't you?" I couldn't forget reading that because it made me feel special. I'd wanted to tell my friends but didn't because I didn't want them to know I was researching witchcraft. "Yeah, I know," I said. "Something about trees budding at the end of winter." And the goddess returning as virgin. I didn't say that because I related to her even less than to buds; the only part I related to was trees because they're tall, like me. And they're around all year, anyway. So Arabelle was uncanilly for real. Out of nowhere, she knew both my name and my birthdate! "Please," I blurted out. "Me and my friends can't afford to wait 'till February!" Then I swallowed. I shouldn't have said that. Now she'll make me pay through the nose! I added, "I'm just a kid. I don't have a lot of money." "Do your parents know about this?" she asked. I said, "My parents don't believe in vampires. They don't believe in anything but--well, normal things like good cooking and brushing and flossing after every meal. They don't know how they got a geek like me. They wouldn't understand! I wanna keep them out of this." I gave her a pitiful half-smile and pulled my wallet out of my pocket. After we talked about what I thought I could afford, she said, "What do you think you need the most? And don't be hasty in your answer." I took a deep breath--and then held it. It's hard for me to not be hasty about anything. Maybe that's why I can't pick up--uh, I mean, ask out--girls. See, there I am being hasty again. Haste there because it's something I want so bad I try too hard, and so I blow it royal and fall on my a** every time. Often, literally. Or my face. Whatever. "It's okay if you don't know," she said at last. "Maybe what you need is to find out." We talked some more. I explained the situation in detail. Then I remembered the vow of secrecy I had made as a member of the Anti-Vampirism Society. I had just broken it! I felt terrible. I begged Arabelle not to tell anyone. She assured me that all her consultations were confidential, but that didn't soothe my guilt. Together we came to the conclusion that since I'm in such horrible danger, the first and most important thing I need is protection. She said I should select some item which I could wear or carry with me at all times, an item that she could bless and give to me tomorrow. She showed me some jewelry: fairies, crystals, and such, things I didn't figure I could pay for, and although they were pretty, I didn't think they were quite me, if you know what I mean. So then she opened another drawer, making a face, confused , and showed me stuff of a rougher sort. My Gothic kick is more in line with them. At home I have a flourescent plastic skull. I saw a pewter ring with a skull design, with black stained detail, and I grinned. xd "That one," I said, pointing to it. She chuckled. "Not to my taste! But try it on. Does it fit?" I tried, and it did. "What time can you be here to pick it up?" Arabelle said. I can hardly wait. I just hope Carletta isn't psychic enough herself to jump the gun on us and attack me before I get my magic ring of protection.
