I'll let you know that I had A LOT of help with this first one, but the next one will be entirely done by me under supervision. Anyway....






This will be heading Jen's way free of charge, and the next ones will be up for sale. What I may do is make most of the bag, show a picture of the design, and then whoever buys I'll put their picto on at the end. I hope this goes well, too - it will not only give those who buy them a burly pretty bag to carry around, but will also help with Tale of Tales' funding (as well as give me some much needed experience with my mom's sewing machines). By the way, I'm an absolute spaz over camouflage, so I plan for all of them to be made out of camouflage fabric.

More info on these will be available soon, maybe after I start working on them. I haven't decided on a price yet but that will be determined later on.

So Jen, this will be heading your way soon.

being new in TEF is a new start for me!
so hi everyone!
my name is Ty but registerd as "Tye"!
hope to play the game sone!

I would walk the bridge and splash in the pond
Jump in the stream and wave a magic wand
Turn someone i knew into a frog
And sing christmas carols while eating eggnog
Run around the ruins and dance with a mate
Go to the twilight hour, hurry, i don't want to be late!
Wear funny masks and change my pelt
Go aroud the forest and remember how it smelt
Listen to the birds high in the trees
And take of the pelts i don't want with a sneeze
Look at the view on top of the maze of stones
Dodge all the trees like they were traffic cones
Also go through some of the trees too
And catch the white dust that is so little and few
So that is what i would do if i just had one day
But one more thing i would do is just have a blast and play!
Done all that, but have you? Txx

I've just started, and so far I find the atmosphere relaxing, the Endless Forest seems to bring a smile to my face or a chuckle at various deer antics. Despite the simplicity and minimalistic feel to the game, and once getting over the lack of chatting in words, I haven't gotten bored yet.

Today I walked, meandered, strolled with an adult deer. Every so often another would walk with us. Every so often we would jump, mimicking each other. There's a certain sense of camaraderie there.

I think this will be the place I go when I need to chill out and calm down.

Walmart has got something pretty cool going on. They're working with some new bands who are trying to become known, so there is a section in the CDs called 'Soundcheck - Risers' where these bands are featured. Out of curiosity, I picked up a few of them, and am happy to say that they're pretty cool bands!


The first band I listened to was Thriving Ivory. At first I didn't know what I thought about them - they were a little different than I was used to. I soon learned they were inspired by bands such as U2 and Coldplay, and so that places them as an Alternative band. In addition, they are considered to be Indie, which I'm trying to get into (So far the only indie bands I listen to are Interpol and The Killers). I really love their song, Angels on the Moon, and can't wait to hear more from them.


The second band I listened to was The White Tie Affair. I first heard their song, Candle (Sick and Tired) on youtube and fell in love with the song. The White Tie Affair is considered to be pop punk with a little electronica. Their influences include bands such as AFI and the Police, and I would also put them in the same category as bands like Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco (the kind of t-shirts White Tie Affair make for merchandising are very similar to FOB's and PAtD's). This band has become a rising favorite of mine.

I am all alone
In this beautiful world
I can hear all and see all
But still not hear a word

That was when my TEF wasn't workin right, when i couldn't see any of you wonderful people
enjoy

PS, sorry it is so short, i just didn't want to ruin it! PS(again) also dedicated to Custard and onyxsoulclaw

The deer was in the forest
He held his head up high
Looking up above
Into the deep dark starry sky
He stamped his feet in rhythm
To the sound of the waterfall
Hearing in the distance
A quiet whispered call
The mysical trees were talking
Of things been and gone
And he lay there listening
Ears twitching, hearing their song
Hope you like it, dedicated to Custard and onyxsoulclaw

.....:No, my mind is not lost. My mind still remains, in it's sanity, placed as a stronghold within myself. It has not dissolved....no. I still have my rational, and integrity. "What, my dear? Why do you ramble so?" That voice isn't really there. All but a nuisance to plague my moral. I must ignore it's chatter, as it does not exist. What a silly claim....that even the idea of a voice emitted that isn't really there. "Do you not hear me, my sweet son? I love you, my dear. Please listen." Be silenced silly voice, I cannot hear you. No source exists for the words you speak, therefore it makes little sense to believe you are even here. You are not here. "You don't believe in your own mother?" My mother exists, but it cannot be that voice which speaks to me now. No....my mother is much more direct. Mi luna wouldn't resort to such irresponsible naggings. No.




......:I awoke with a jolt, my body singing in fire-like heat. I was laced in a thin layer of perspiration, which clung to my fur and matted it close to my body. My breath was uneven and quick, and as I darted my eyes back and forth, I tried to come to a rational mind. "Well good morning my lovely child." I stood up, slowly, gently slowing my breathing back to a more calm pace. As I finally came to observing my surroundings, I noticed an obvious red tint carressing the landscape. Hues....of pinks and blues....of violets and roses...

I've nevr tried this before. so sorry about the poor quality. Flyra i hope you don't mind me doing this.

Starfire flyra's mother was head doe for the Northen wandering deer Herd. She was not only the Beutifulest doe, but one of the wises and knowllageable in the region.
As head doe she had a strong say in any plan the herd had from feeding grounds to traveling direction. Durring the autum rut if there was trouble amonst the hinds over a stag Starfire would step in and designate that stag to a lower ranking female. This made her popular with some and hated by others. Though none would dare challenge her outright. She had given birth to one son and two daughters in the last few seasons all her calves were strong and healthy, which in turn made her very attractive to the stags in the herd.
That year no Stags had caught Starfire's eye and she felt disipointed with them they all seemed so dull. They would charge in lock antlers and strut around bellowing. There was no thrill no danger everything was like a well rehursed dance.
So on The next full moon decided on what she wanted she Left the herd, Travelling the whole night. She saw scats of many creatures inculding Bear, Wolf, and linx, but not deer.
By morning As the mist rose she laid down shaky legged under a rock formation in the shade, She began to rumulate her last meal, thinking of the situation she was in. To her left somthing moved, She turned and rose only to find herself facing a lone wolf. It was a youngster that had recently left it's pack. Eager and headstrong. How had she been so foolish to not have sented the area. The wolf seemed to sit back. She relaxed slighty "Not hungery are you wolf" she smiled. Without sound or warning it sprung. Starfire's legs were weak from her journy she could not move. Instinctivly she closed her eyes awating the sharp pain and darkness of death. TUD! the sound rang though her skull, There was no pain though? was this death?
Silence.

Deers are made for running
They jump and gallop with glee
Dashing, dancing, running, prancing
Playing with fawns like me!
Deers are made for running
For making friends till the end
Dashing, dancing, running, prancing
Will you be my friend?
Deers are made for running
For mysical gifts and powers
Dashing, dancing, running, prancing
Playing around for hours
Deers are made for running
For wisdom, Happiness and fun
Dashing, dancing, running, prancing
Sprinting in and out the dapple shaded wood
Hope you like it, Txx
