It Don't Beat the Way it Used To
He falls asleep with her words on his lips. (A story in reverse. Let's start at the end.)
Harper's Island. Jimmy Mance/Abby Mills. Appearances from Shane, Nikki and the Sheriff.
1767, pg.
[Set before the series, from when they find out Abby's coming back to the Island to Jimmy and Abby - 'the teenage years' . Told in reverse, snapshots and flashbacks ahoy. All I can say - it made sense in my head. Title taken from Reason's Unknown by The Killers. Enjoy.]

Hey guys -

I just started a Harper's Island RPG and wondered if anyone wanted to play. I
still need most major characters - we are most in need of Abby, Trish, Chloe, Sully, Shea, Madison, JD, Jimmy, Booth, Nikki, and many others.

This RPG takes place at the pilot episode and we'll basically be doing our own
thing - not following the show if we don't want to, we'll dictate the order of
and time between the deaths, so that we can fully explore the relationships
between the characters.

Original characters are also allowed, character limit is 5 per player and at
least 1 must be canon. Because of the adult themes of the show this RPG is 18+
ONLY. Sorry!

"You’re not guarded."

Well I don't use this a lot. Never got into the posting mood I guess. =P

A lot of changes have been happening since I last posted. No longer live with my Mother in San Antonio, will be moving in with my stepmom in Leander this fall. Wish my dad could be there too, but duty calls. =\

I've decided to not make art my major focus. It's suited me more as a hobby and not as a career path. I've thought about being a computer technician. This came after, surprisingly, watching an infomercial about it for El Paso Career Center. Computers have always interested me, and I think it'll be a better career path for me than art would.

I'm trying to work on commissions and stuff, but that's just the usual. No big change.
Looking to get a new Desktop PC soon. Saving up for this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229100

And my B-Day's on the 20th.
Really wish I was still in San Antonio. Being stuck in Oklahoma sucks~
