I think this might be a nice addition. Normally it was always "No" or "Not needed" or "Not enough discussion on the topic as it is" with suggestions like these. Lately we have been giving them a go and they've all turned out pretty well. I see no harm in giving this one a shot. If it flops it can always be removed.

Made 11.3k nats today. In other news, I'm thinking of getting a second throne room for a Crystal Throne. I suddenly thought it would be cool to have the two best thrones :XD: But the problem is that I don't know where to put the room.. I'm not particularly pleased with any of the possible locations. Here's my current house layout: As you can see, I could either attach the room to the garden in the north east corner or attach it to one of the rooms in the south west corner. I do think it would be nice to have the two throne rooms close to each other, making the north east spot a more ideal locations.. but I kind of liked how the master bedroom had a private little garden and that was it. I think it would be weird to have to go through the master bedroom to get to the second throne room. But I also think it would be weird to have the two throne rooms on complete opposite ends of the house. Thoughts?

Favourite: Construction (though runecrafting is a close second) Least-favourite: Anything combat-related, but I'll settle for slayer D: It's combat *and* you can't even pick what monsters to kill!

I believe it was about 2 million construction xp.

No I haven't played it :o Just RS, LotRO and the free trial of WoW for me :XD:

Construction is my favourite skill! :D I will fund it by runecrafting nature runes. Everything I have done (my buyable 99s and my house) has been funded by runecrafting. I made my own nature runes like level 65-95 :lol: Thanks for the welcome back! And good luck with your house ;) --------------------- I made 8.5k nats tonight. I may or may not get a few more done before starting a movie and eventually heading off to bed (2am already!)

Thank you so much! :D It's good to be back - I hope it sticks! I finally took updated pictures of my house! While taking screenshots I realized that there are some non-dungeon updates to be made, so I will be doing those ASAP! And my dungeon is so lame :( I hope I can finish it eventually! I want to set some money aside for farming though. I'll be doing my palms and yews every day! Anyway here are some house things I'll be working on: I just built a combat room since I found out I could build two more rooms! So I need to get that filled out. Skill Hall - Rune Armour Sets need to be built. Garden outside master bedroom - Large Fountain needs to be built Dining Room - for some reason I don't have gilded wall decorations, so those need to be taken care of! I'm also thinking about putting in a marble spiral staircase. Right now I just have a regular stone spiral staircase and I like it that way since the stairs go down to my dungeon and I like it to have a big of a rugged look since it's a dungeon and all.. but I don't know. I might cave and get the marble one. Other than my dungeon, that's it until my house is completely maxed to my liking :) There are of course a few things that aren't top of the line (such as Large Fountains instead of Posh Fountains) but that's only because I prefer those items over the "maxed" ones. Anyway check out the front page for screenshots of my house!

So close to 97!! :D Keep it up, Saruman, you're doing great! :) Construction ftw!

Hiiiya! :D I'm so proud of you for getting 99 construction! I see you're pretty close. And hey, no beating my house! :P I honestly can't remember how upgraded it was at my 99 herblore party though.. I think I got my Throne and other goodies after that? Now upstairs is completely maxed out but I still have like 20 million to spend on the dungeon to get it the way I want it, hahah! Anyway good luck with 99 construction and the house :) I'd love to check out the house when you're done with it! ------------------------------------- Guess I won't be needing these anymore: And my BoB is fail. But add 2.8m for the energy potions, which haven't sold yet :P This is why I never post bank pics - it faaaaails! I spend all my money :XD:

You dare show your face here!! :P At the moment I feel like coming back just to farm and runecraft, but I'm so afraid of saying that just to have my momentum die out after a week! So we'll see what happens :) I would especially love to finally get 99 runecrafting though... Hiya Codguy! It's so good to see you! And yeah I was runecrafting and noticed that I never had to use potions and was wondering if I was just being absurdly slow..! I didn't know about the run energy update :o That's pretty cool. Congratulations on 91 runecrafting! I bet you're simply LOVING it! Can you imagine how you ever survived without it!?! ------------------------------- I've just been runecrafting and poking through my bank to see what I have. i have like 350 toadflax seeds! They sure did go up in price :XD: *is going to farm these babies*

I'm a Ferrari fan through and through :D (460 Spider) Custom interior makes it look even better.

Let's see how long you can stay away!! Keeping busy is good though. I hope you're enjoying real life and all! I've been really great, thanks :) Happy at uni but not busy at all. I've been itching for a new game to play for ages, which i guess is why I'm poking around RuneScape now lol! Also been really busy with art (both for class and personal projects). So yep, all is good here! It's really nice to talk to you again! ----------- On a RuneScape-related note.. I just decided to runecraft so I was about to get the necessary items out of my bank.. I stared at the screen for like 30 seconds then cried in my head, "I FORGOT HOW TO RUNECRAFT!" :cry:

Haha hey you! :D I see you have retired! Random note: 290k to 90 farming :XD: EDIT: I got some random levels because I was close!

I don't rag on you for putting your GOALS AND ACHIEVEMENTS in your signature, for all of Tip.it to see. One could argue that you're just doing it to show off. How is that much different from blogging about it? If you want to keep track of your goals and achievements you could just do it in a text file on your computer. Why put it in your signature?

I saw Edge of Darkness today. I thought it was great. There was one bit where I swear I jumped like 5 feet :lol: I saw it coming but it still got me D:

buy a diary / tell your spouse i can imagine it now, runescape pillow talk What's your problem with friends encouraging each other? Why is that such a terrible thing? If you don't like blogs, don't visit them, it's as simple as that. But some people enjoy them and are motivated by them. It's not like they affect you in any way.

As a past blogger, I can say that blogging is a huge motivator. To be able to see my goals and achievements written out by myself and have people support me greatly motivated me to continue with my goals. It is true that most people aren't all that interested in reading blogs unless the player sets outrageous goals that they are likely to achieve.. but when that is the case, people are interested in seeing details on how that progress is made. Hearing it come from someone rather than an automated system and having that someone share their experiences is more interesting than just reading a list of to-the-point achievements in the Adventurer's Log. Blogging is more than just finding out the facts on how much progress was made and in what skill.. it's about sharing experiences that are not documented in the Adventurer's Log and motivating each other. So there are plenty of people who care, but since you don't, then don't read them ;)

Just saw The Book of Eli in theaters - really great movie. EDIT: Also just watched The Hangover. Pretty funny movie :D Definitely kept me entertained.

I'm glad you got some good use out of those brews, transcript80 :) I logged onto RuneScape today... in fact I'm on as I'm writing this! I've been itching for a game to play for several weeks now and although grinding (games like RuneScape) is not what I had in mind, I decided to log on anyways. I don't know what will come of this, but I figured since my blog was bumped, I might as well post that little update :D For now I'm just doing some farming. Also in other news, I'm working on a real life Book of Zamorak. You can check my Tip.it Art Blog for details! :lol:

Haha the Zamorak hoodie is kind of cool :XD: I wouldn't mind one to sleep in.

So it's been a few days (nearly a week actually) since I've posted an update on my RL Book of Zamorak. I did manage to dye *most* of the pages that I had cut out. I ended up skipping some because it got late and I was tired, but the book will still be pretty thick, which is good. Still over 200 pages, I think. Unfortunately the pages are STILL drying. Since I had to take them to university, I don't have enough space to lay them out to dry one at a time, so I had to stack them in three separate piles which GREATLY increases the time it takes to dry D: I guess it's not a big deal though since I'm still waiting for some supplies that's on order. I had a hard time finding corner protectors that were big enough so I bought an array of decorative corners that I will have to spray paint black. Also, I decided to make my own bookmark charm. Originally I wanted to craft the Zamorak Unholy Symbol out of Precious Metal Clay but that would require me to spend $50 on supplies (for the clay and a torch/kiln to fire it). So I decided to settle for second best: Polymer Clay. It's a bit cheaper and can be baked in a regular oven so there's no need to splurge on a torch. Hopefully this will work.. I've never been very good at working with clay XD But if all goes well, I will make a Zamorak Unholy Symbol charm, paint it black, attach it to a leather cord and use it as a bookmark for the book. I'm really hoping that I'll be able to start working on the signature block by Sunday (if the paper dries by then) so keep your fingers crossed for me! And just a side note, the paper looks great! It truly looks like paper that washed up to shore :D Also, I'm going to create at least one practice book before binding the Book of Zamorak. There are a few things I want to do that I haven't done before and I want to make sure I do them right :) So once the cover boards (basically extra sturdy cardboard) I ordered arrive, I will work on my practice book. MATERIALS LIST [x] = Obtained [ ] = On order [x] Paper [x] Closures [x] Corners [x] Bookbinding thread [ ] Leather [ ] Cover board [ ] Sculpey (Polymer) Clay BOOKBINDING STEPS [x] = Completed [ ] = Uncompleted [x] Paper cut [x] Paper dyed (above two steps took 9 1/2 hours) [ ] Signatures sewn into block & endpages attached [ ] Cover boards and spine cut and design/spine bands pasted on [ ] Unholy charm made & baked [ ] Bookmark attached [ ] Leather glued on & signature block attached [ ] Corners and closures attached [ ] Title page written (and possibly other pages of the book) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In other news, I have been working on my next assignment for my art class. The topic this week was "texture" so I've been working on a leather carving :) It's not done yet, but here's what I have so far. It's a peacock if you couldn't tell :P

Watched Happy Gilmore tonight. That movie is always good for a laugh :P

Don't pin all of the blame on her. Yes she has been cheating on you for 9 months and I NEVER condone cheating.. but from this blog entry and the previous one, you gave her NO reason to love you in the first place. You hadn't spoken to her in a month, you bought her a Christmas present but didn't send it (for no reason). Those two things tell me that you weren't putting effort into this relationship. If you weren't putting effort in, she wasn't going to want to stay with you, it's simple as that. Girls like to see a man who is devoted to the relationship and obviously cares about her. It sounds like you did neither. You say that love doesn't exist, but that isn't completely her fault. YOU didn't put any love into this relationship from what I can tell. In order to receive it, you have to put it in. Long distance relationships *are* tough, but that's no excuse for the things that you did (or should I say "didn't do"). In fact, I don't think I'd truly consider two people to be a couple if they didn't talk for one month and had no reason for it (i.e. no physical way to communicate). Think of it this way: you receive what you give. It sounds like you gave her little attention and showed little appreciation for her. In result, that's what she gave you back. It sounds like you only started caring about her when you lost her, meaning that you only want her when you can't have her. So maybe you like the IDEA of being in a relationship, but not the actual work/dedication that it requires. But if you want to have a successful relationship, you have to put as much as you can into it.

One thing though, get rid of those sketchy lines :x They're ruining your piece. Use them as a guide if you want but make sure they're not there when you're finished.
