ooo That would be fun. It might be nice to have a topic of conversation planned, since I seem to be a boring AIM conversationalist, but yes. Someday I will propose it in the main thread.

*flies around*

Eroy 09-21-2007 02:43 PM

  • Howdy partners.. xDD just kidding.

    I haven't been by the saloon in a couple of days so I thought I'd see what's going on in here. Looks like it's been pretty busy lately! Yay xDD

Smerdle 09-23-2007 08:02 PM

*flops in*

Oh MMC entry. You make me smile. I'm just not sure if you are too odd for the shop. Overall Mene seems to be a more conservative place somehow.

I do believe I shall take a break from doing ridiculously long character sheets and do some more digital painting homework. I failed at doing more freebies this weekend. :| I was over at a friend's house for most of the weekend and would have felt weird just whipping out a drawing.

wheeee *runs around maniacally*

Sanctuary 09-24-2007 12:26 AM


Did somene say ridiculously long charector sheets =D

I'm not stalking you. Seriously <.< >.>
That would be weird.

xD I happened to be looking through the MN and my banner caught my eye.

Smerdle 09-24-2007 03:25 AM

Don't worry, I'm not including these particular character sheets in my entry. XD These two characters are just completely new and I'm feeling more comfortable thinking about them too much rather than not at all. I've got to start my prompt soon though, or I'll never get it done.

Sizzla 09-24-2007 01:52 PM

I wanna know what characters these are now! XP

I'm glad the thread title is appealing enough that people come in. XD I don't want people to feel excluded b/c they're not from the Midwest. Because that's NOT what we're all about. XD

Oh Monday. Joy. :roll:

So Friday night, I come home from dinner & art fair with my stepdad and his new wife right, and there's a door hanger on my door from the police department, telling me to call them and it's got some detective's name on it! :shock: So, I proceed to freak out until this morning, when I can actually call and find out what this is all about. Turns out he was looking for a guy that lived in my apt. in the past. PHEW! I was scared there for a bit!!!

Smerdle 09-24-2007 02:43 PM

I don't think I can say. Sanctuary wants the entries to be anonymous-like. mwahahhaaa I could probably talk about them on Gaia though. rofl

Nah, I don't want to waste your time. I will say that they're two of the characters from my future shop here, which is why I'm having so much fun fleshing them out.

OMFG about the cop thing! That's so rude, leaving it there on a Friday for you to worry about all weekend! I would have had 9 ulcers by now. *pets siz*

Eroy 09-24-2007 03:36 PM

  • Nine ulcers! o__O; That sound painful D:

    Hehe Siz.. I'm glad it turned out to be nothing. xP

Ithiltari 09-25-2007 04:47 PM

aaaaawkward

Hey, I'm from the Midwest! I think you knew that, though. xD I need some clothes, man.

If that cop was going to leave a note, you'd think he could at least put something on there about what it was about! I don't blame you for freaking out, I totally would have done the same. Then again, I still live at home, so my parents would have been more than a little upset/worried as well. That would not be fun either.

This so reminds me of Gaia when it first started. Makes me feel all nostalgic.

Sizzla 09-25-2007 04:52 PM

Yeah, the cop thing really freaked me out. I mean, I don't do that many illegal things...And nothing a detective would come after me for, for sure! I'm nothing compared to a murder/kidnapper/drugdealer!

I'm just glad it had nothing to do with me. :D

HEYYYY ITHI! XD I'm glad you've joined us! I did know you were from the Midwest actually. LOL We're accepting of all regions around here of course. XP I just like to represent my home n' whatnot. XD I know Saloons weren't really in the Midwest either, but we can pretend, right? ;)

I know, isn't this nice? I like the smallness. When I started Gaia, I never envisioned it would be how it is today...Kinda scary in a way...

Ithiltari 09-25-2007 04:57 PM

I just have traffic violations, and they give you the ticket right there, so I'd really be panicking if I came home to that. xD

HEEEEEEY. <333

Yeah, I've lived in Nebraska for like 18 years. It's so depressing. I want out!

It's so small, and cozy, and damnit, I miss browsing Gaia forums and being able to see the same thread in minishops stay on there for at least five refreshes. xD That hasn't been true in a while, sadly. As soon as you go anywhere, threads fall off the front page. Too fast. Thank god for thread subscriptions, or I'd never be able to find anything.

Eroy 09-25-2007 04:57 PM

  • Hey guys! How's it shakin'? xD

    Hi Ithilatari! Where in the midwest are you from? Siz and I live in Kansas City. XD
    EDIT: WOops! you beat me to it! XD
    Nebraska eh? My boyfriends sister is going to school up there.... AND... that's the only think I know about Nebraska. rofl! :D

Ithiltari 09-25-2007 04:59 PM

Oh, where at? I live in/near Omaha, which is really the only place people know, unless they're into college football. Then they'd know Lincoln. xD

I want to move to the West Coast now. I was out in Oregon on vacation and it was so nice~

Sizzla 09-25-2007 05:00 PM

Yeah, I couldn't even imagine what I'd done! T_T It was quite a stressful weekend.

Time to move out of Nebraska eh? Where do you plan on going next? I had that same feeling about Kansas when I graduated from college. I moved to Oklahoma, and realized it was -worse- than Kansas. So I managed to get back eventually. And now I'm in Missouri, which still isn't far from where I grew up, considering Kansas City = the city and suburbs for me. XP

Yeah, Gaia's becoming too big for my liking. I dunno. It seems they're just interested in making more money. And I realize that making money is important, but I don't think that should be the main focus of the site... :(

Sizzla 09-25-2007 05:01 PM

I want to move to Washington or Oregon too. But I hate the thought of having to move again so soon and leave my job. I finally have a job I like, so I'll probably stick around here a bit longer. *nods*

Eroy 09-25-2007 05:02 PM

  • Well... I don't acutally know the name of her school. It's a small Lutheran school.. that's all I know. lol xP

    The west coast is nice ^^
    I think if I moved I'd like to go to Colorado.

Ithiltari 09-25-2007 05:04 PM

I'm almost graduated from college with a programming degree, so hopefully I can get a job out in that area with it. Since they do a lot of programming stuff there.

I think Gaia's real problem is that it's gotten too big. I can't even imagine what the bandwidth costs are for the site, which is why they need money in the first place. xD I'll still stay on there, I'm way too attached to everything associated with it. Unless everyone and everything I like jumps ship suddenly, I guess.

Eroy 09-25-2007 05:05 PM

  • Ya you should be able to get a job anywhere you want with a programming degree. :D

    Ya I hardly ever go to gaia anymore.. I wouldn't leave though. I love my items too much xD

Sizzla 09-25-2007 05:06 PM

Oh yeah, I'd never really quit gaia. I have too many beautiful pixels and B&C kids to give up Gaia entirely. :D

Plus, they keep making cool items. If anything, I'm in it for the pixels! XD

Ithiltari 09-25-2007 05:08 PM

Yeah, programming's a pretty good degree to have. ~*nods*~ Glad I went into it, although I really wanted to do web design. Maybe I can pick up a degree in that after I get a better job. @[email protected]

I love my items too. ;; Some have really nice memories attached to them, like my DJ's or the Angelic Minis. Pixels are great~

Plus, yeah, the B&C kids. I'd never be able to give them up.

Eroy 09-25-2007 05:12 PM

  • Ugg. I've been wanting A. minis forever.. I've been thinking about questing for them... I just don't feel like putting in the effort right now. D: I'd say I've got about 1/4 of the funds for them though.

    Ya programming was a good choice.. I bet it would flow into web design pretty easily though.

    I got my degree in chemistry and I don't do anything with it. I've considered putting my resume out there just to see if anyone bites but I'm pretty comfortable at my current job.

Sizzla 09-25-2007 05:14 PM

^Hey look! You've got something to wear already! XP

Isn't that fan nice? I'm a huge fan of the fan. ROFL

I think programming will get you pretty far. And totally go back and get more education later if you can. The more the better. I need to go to grad school, and I think I want to go for graphic design, but I'm still on the fence. It's between graphic design or media management...

Yeah, my pixels are all special to me. XD I just wish I would have donated to the site earlier! I'm trying to quest for DJs now, and I think it's going to be impossible. T_T

And yeah, my B&C kids are also quite special. I'm attached to all of them in some way or another, even if I don't show some of them the attention they deserve. I'm only one person though!

Ithiltari 09-25-2007 05:25 PM

Having a PayPal account is great. 8)

A friend of mine sold bunny slippers and got a bunch of stuff. He gave me the Sept '03, which I sold for Minis and 20k. If that tells you how long ago that was. ~*laugh*~

Chemistry! How interesting. I've always loved science and stuff, but I'm not really dedicated enough to pursue it.

Graphic design sounds fun, to me, since I'm only sometimes not fail at doing design things. It's why I haven't updated my website. I can code for it, I just can't design a pretty interface. ;;

I wish I would have donated more to the site earlier. xD;; Having more 2004 letters would be really nice. Then again, if I'd joined in Decemeber when the site was first shown to me, I'd be an '03er and probably have even more crap. I do have a lot of old donation items, though. owo

Eroy 09-25-2007 05:32 PM

  • I joined in late '04 at the prodding of Sizzla. I should have joined earlier when she first told me about it, but meh.. shoulda, woulda, coulda I suppose. xP

    I don't know why I ended up doing chemistry.. I've always liked it and it just kind of happened lol xD

Smerdle 09-25-2007 05:36 PM

I used to have Jan and Feb '04s. Kind of makes me sad that I don't anymore. But I do have an OMG, so perhaps that makes up for it? I find that hat to be fug, however.

So, I went to Toys R Us and they didn't have DDR! What a bunch of fools. I have to call Gamestop now, and I really hate it in there. It smells like my old school. Like nerds and unwashed clothes. D:
