I'm not sure if that would take away the casual look that it now has though. At any rate, I must be going now. I'll be here a lot more tomorrow, since it is a day off. I hope you have a good day Cricket.

Yeah, I was worried about it getting rid of what you were going for, but you can try it later if you want, just to check. Bye Tiger.

Hi Cricket - been quiet around here lately.

This thread, or the site in general? I've kind of been sticking to fewer threads again. Feeling less social.

The site in general.

Same here. I feel a bit drained after being around a lot of people during the day, then taking care of family. I was hoping that would wear off, but it seems like the more I'm focused while working on people instead of flailing with my manikin head, the less distracted I am by everyone else in class.

Sorry I didn't reply, I didn't really know what to say. =S

@Elmira
I wish you continued luck in cosmetology school.

Good morning Cricket. Your present outfit is yet another awesome one. The firefly's are a very nice effect. How are you doing?

Ah, it's almost identical to an outfit I've worn before. I'm trying my very best not to blow the gold I own on items for a new outfit for the character I'm cosplaying. >.<;;

I'm tired, but neck is sore, and I'm trying to sketch designs for a steampunk outfit for my cat. I know it'll take a while to make, so I'm getting started now. I want to take him trick-or-treating with me this year, and I want us to be dressed in steampunk gear. XD

Oh yeah, not to bug you, but how much more do I owe you? I just wanna make sure I hop to paying you off.

I am the worst person ever at keeping track of how much I am owed. It seems like you paid about 1k since the last time we talked about it. Didn't we say you paid off 940 prior to that? I think that should leave 2800 left to pay. If my calculations are correct.

A steampunk costume for your cat is an amazing idea. I would love to see a picture of that.

I've paid you a thousand since then? I thought I'd paid 840 when we'd last talked about it... @[email protected] Thought you said you'd start keeping track and saving the donation PMs so it'll be easier to keep track?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to manage the steampunk outfit, but I really, really want to try. I'm going to work on the cat's outfit before I work on mine, because even if I don't get mine done in time, at least I'll get an awesome cosplaying kitty cat and who needs a costume if your cat looks totally awesome?

There will definitely be pictures if I manage it.

He's a tuxedo cat, so I think he'd look awesome in steampunk gear. Give him a rugged yet classy kinda look.

'Cause this is what he looks like normally:

I told you I suck at bookkeeping. Let's just say you owe me what I said, if that's alright with you. I just don't want you to overpay me.

Your cat is totally gorgeous. I had a cat that with some of the same coloring. His name was Lucky. He was the last cat I had before I developed an allergy to them.

Well, I know for a fact I sent you five hundred gold yesterday, so I'm wondering if I'm not already overpaying with the price you're giving me. 'Cause I really have no idea.

You suck at bookkeeping. Gotcha. So next time you say you'll keep track and not to worry, I should still worry. XD Could you go digging through the PMs and add those to the original 840? The beginning amount was 4740.

Sorry if it seems like I'm asking a lot. I've actually been playing tetris for gold lately to pay you back. ^^;;

I don't have any pm's prior to one from the 18th for 100 gold {though I know you paid at least two hundred more on that day} and the pm and I have 500 for the 19th. And you paid 100 today. How about we say you still owe 2500 gold to account for errors on my part?

Alright. I hope you know I'm not trying to get out of anything. I'm really just trying to figure out how much is left. I mean, if you want, I'll just pay the 2800.

No, since you just made a payment, we're down to 2400. I know you're not Cricket. I would never think that of you.

I made another payment a while back. Sorry about that, I was running around the house moving stuff around and also looking up things online while trying to sketch out a design for a desk I want to make.

I really want to have a desk, but I've realized that there are very few that offer what I want, and NONE of them offer EVERY thing that I want in a desk.

So I think I'm just going to make my own. I've got awesome ideas for an awesome desk. No one can have a desk as awesome as the one I'm going to make unless they pay insane amounts of money for it.

Yours will probably be much better built as well. I have a pad and a pencil right by my computer. I will subtract that amount every time I get a payment from you and will also save the email notification.

Alright. And for now on I'll tape a flashcard to my laptop box (I use it as a desk because I use my laptop in bed) so I can keep better track next time. ^^;;

Sounds like a plan. I'm going to try not to donate again until next month, with the exception of maybe one more May set. That way I'll have one to sell later when the prices hopefully, increase.

Ah, well, might I ask to purchase a June CI set from you? Since you buy to sell anyways.

Sure. I keep one saved for you. I'll likely get some on June first, since I'm here everyday anyways.

Alright, thank you very much. ^_^

You're quite welcome. I wonder what June's CI's will be?

Who knows, but I think we can be confident that they'll be good. This is Menewsha, after all. ;D

Good point. They do have some very imaginative and talented artists here. I'm trying to think of items that I'd like them to be, but nothing is coming to mind right now.
