Hi Ry! Super avatar you've got going on. :)

Ari doesn't think so, they're all so far away and plane tickets are so expensive. D:

Mmm.. yah, it makes total sense to not be close to them, but Ari wishes we could still be close even though we're so far away. >w< She doesn't like not knowing her cousins, especially since we're all in the same generation, albeit the fact that the oldest one on my daddy's side is twenty years older than Ari. XD;

Yay! Though, Ari doesn't know if there will be any point in going anymore.. cause it's less likely for us to get to the rest of Omi's page prizes, though, Ari will still be trying, but she's seriously starting to lose hope. ;_;

Yeah, Ari's a super oldbie on Mene, but when she first joined, she wasn't too into Mene, so she didn't stick around, then she came back during September '07 and managed to snag an o-fan for 250g from a seller (who she thinks was Tre, but isn't sure anymore XP). Though, she wishes she could've gotten a pudao as well. >w< But anyways, then she poofed again when the fan/pudao were no longer available, but came back during the Halloween '07 event, and picked up a couple of those eis. Then poofed again. But came back around a year later, and picked up a couple Halloween '08 eis before poofing again. XD; And returned a couple months later near the end of the FoWN '08 event and managed to get two/three sets of the eis and have been here ever since. <3

Woah, long post. o.o;

Yeah, but at least it wasn't anything too serious? Still, hopefully you can re-earn that $125 quickly! <3

At least you got an extension to the deadline? :'D Good luck getting your book soon! <3

Maybe Ari will, but if she does, it'll definitely be in Canada still and not the US. Cause the US is just too warm for her. Ari prefers the cold over the hot. >w<;

*avoids the tickling and shields self with umbrella-ella-ella-a-a-a-a* >8D

Hihi Iltuiltu! <3

XD

*tackles everyone*
No shielding from my tickles!

But tickles are fun to avoid, Sera! 8D

*tickles you instead* =P

*cries*

@ Iltu : Aww, thank you for the compliment~! ^^ <3<3

@ Sera : Not my fault I'm not ticklish now. xDD;;

@ Ari : Well, yeah, you have a point there. >.>;; </3

And hmm... there's always the wonders of online? =O I stay in touch with my cousins abroad through Facebook and Skype and other such means. :3 Sure, we don't get to talk to them much, but at least we're still updated with each others' lives. :3 You can do the same? ^^

And aww! D; Don't lose hope! :'< <3<3

And ohh, interesting Mene life story then. =O At least you were able to snag an Oriental Fan for 250g though. xDD;; How lucky! XP And even if you didn't get the Pudao then, you could still quest for it now? At least the fan is one less item you have to quest for. :'D And I'm sure you can do it! You're very active now, right? XP <3<3

Don't cry, Sera! ;_;


And yeah, Ry, unless would you like to pay for Ari's plane tickets? :'D Though, even if you did, Ari still wouldn't go cause she finds it hard to breathe in humid places. D:

Omg, Ry has Skype? :'D Ari wants to add you now! XD; <3

But what else can Ari do but start losing hope? There's only two page prizes left and we're no where close. D:

Yeah, Ari is really lucky about that, and even more happy that that was her very first item on Mene. <3 And Ari already has the pudao, Ry. XD; Cause she won it in the Quest Raffle sometime in.. October... she thinks? >w<;; Just go to the first page of Ari's quest thread to see what she still needs to get. ;D <3

You do? o_O;; Lolz, never visit us here then. xDD;; And sorry, I got no moolah for plane tickets. If I did, I'd be somewhere in Europe right now. xDD;;

And no, not on this laptop. I took it out for now because I always got too distracted with it. 8DD;; Besides, without it on my laptop, my parents won't steal my laptop for their Skype needs anymore. >.>;; So yeah, it was a win-win situation for me. xDD;;

And nuu! :x I shall post later when I have the time. D: I'm currently on and off Mene at the moment. >.<;;

And really? o_O;; Lolz, my bad then. xDD;; Good luck getting all your other quest items though! =O <3<3

Yeah, most places in South East Asia are pretty stinking humid. D: Not the ideal place for Ari to be for even a short period of time. D: Ari just is naturally attuned to colder environments. <3
Really? Where in Europe? O:

XD Nice, at least you don't have to share with your parents. =D

Alright, Ari shall see you there, laters. =)

Thanks for the luck, Ry, Ari will definitely need it for the sleepy melodies harp. D: <3

I was crying because you all were avoiding me...

Ari wasn't avoiding you, Sera, just your tickling hands! :lol:

@ Ari : Ohh, I see. =O Well, I'm used to it, obviously. xDD;; I like it though, since it can be just nicely warm here. The heat is really bad during summer, but as long as you're in the beach it's awesome. xDD;; And no freezing! XP The dust CAN be annoying though, when you're in dusty areas. >.>;;

And yes, no need to share. It's MINE, after all. >.<;;

And okies, laters then~ XP <3<3

And aww! :x I'm sure you can get it! D: If I didn't win mine from the Quester's Raffle, I would give it to you. >.<;; But alas, not allowed. So I'll just wish you luck instead! :3 <3<3


@ Sera : We weren't avoiding you!! D; <3<3<3

Hooray! I take it this means Iku will be busy reading away instead of being on Mene? O:
What is the course Iku is taking for/about again? O:




Yeah, I just don't like the heat or dust. But probably cause I'm accustomed to Canadian weather now, and summer here is hot enough for me, and I don't need anything that's gonna be even hotter. D:

Did Ry buy it herself and all? O:

Turns out I did finally get my sleepy melodies harp! Not from Vixen, but from Cami, for two November '09 CI sets.. but that means that I now have no November '09 CI sets since I bought a second set and with my own, got the harp. >w< But sooo worth the trade off. Now, to steal your November '09 CI set so I can have one again. ;P

And I've already got a deal set for a winter's flight! =) <3

Lolz, yeah, Canada is a lot colder than here. xDD;; My cousins from Canada always say so when they're here. XP Although, they're fine when we spend some time in our mountain home, since it isn't as humid and it's chilly enough for their liking. >;P

And no, I wish. xDD;; But they gave it for the purpose of using it for MY stuff. And... yeah. xDD;;

Also, congratulations then~! :'D <3<3 I'm so happy for you! ^^ And nuu, no stealing! D; </3

And yeah, I saw! ;3 From Seiki right? :'D <3<3 Congratulations as well on that! :3 You're doing really well on your questing! ^^

YOU HAVE A MOUNTAIN HOME, RY?!? :drool: OMG, CAN I GO THERE PLEASE? >w< <3
What province or territory are your cousins from? O:

Nice, they gave it to you to do YOUR stuff and yet they wanted to take it away so they could use the Skype back when you had it! :lol: XD

I know, I'm sooo happy too! <3 But now I have no clue how I wanna make an avatar with it, so excuse my avatar till it's more clothed. >w<;;;
But I don't have a November '09 CI set anymore, and Ry has spares, riiiiight? O:

Yeah, I'm so happy he agreed to the deal we made. >w< Though, now I need to mail out my donation so I can get the February '10 sets right when they're released and start the trade. <3 :yes:

How are you doing with your questing, Ry? O:

Sure? 8DD;; <3<3
And I have two separate relatives living in two different places. One family is in Vancouver and the other in Toronto, I believe? Not so sure, but I think I'm correct. xDD;;

Exactly! D; I don't mean to be selfish, but wanting to Skype while I'm cramming a paper is so not nice. >.>;; Luckily though, like I said, I don't have that problem anymore. 8DD;; Booyeah for multiple computers at home! xDD;; <3<3

And good luck figuring out an outfit for it! =O <3<3 Congratulations again on that, btw! ^^
And... ermm, yeah. xDD;; Just one. ;o; Traded some of mine before as well. ^^;;

And that's awesome then~ :3 <3<3 Again, congratulations on that! :'D <3<3

As for me... well, I'm not really "feeling" the questing as much. xDD;; I'm questing for the really expensive rares right now (see my quest thread for more info), so I'm not expecting quick progress. XP Especially with me spending so much gold on event commons. ^^;; But I shall persevere! :'D <3<3 Or just wait for the next Quester's Raffle and/or GBA. xDD;;
Mainly what I'm doing now is amassing back my CI/EI spares for future offers~ :3 Since my hoard got depleted when I bought my Lovelipop. xDD;; That's doing all right at the moment, I guess? At least, I'm inclined to think so. XP

Sure you all weren't....*looks scared*

Anyway, hope you are all well.

Alright, I'm gonna need a map to your mountain home now, Ry! Or pictures of it so I can just stare at them will also do for the time being. XD

Yay for your parents able to use Skype on other computers while you can cram! =D You better be cramming hard then!

I know, it's gonna be sooo hard to! D: But I'll figure something out, since I also wanna use my pirate's booty and (if possible) ninja's arsenal in it! >w< Thanks, and I think I shall steal your Nov. '09 CI set. *steals it when you're not looking* :ninja:

Thanks! I'm also thinking of getting some more US money first before I mail in my donation, just so that I can also get some extra sets to hoard and sell to other users. Since 2k for a current CI set is a nice hefty sum of gold that I could definitely used to save up for getting v-day '07 items. ;D <3

Nice, good luck re-saving up more v-day '07 items! *steals your lovelipop when you're not looking as well* :ninja:



I am well... well other than the "all-day" headache I've been having today. :/ But other than that, I definitely am well. =) How is Sera today? =)

You sound like you are about to go crazy, Ari. *hands cookies*

I'm alright. Working on getting some homework done.
Also a little stressed about some travel plans but oh well.
Make it up as I go.

@ Sera : I'm... doing all right, given the circumstances. >.>;; Hope you're doing a lot better than I am though. XP <3<3

@ Ari : I'm too lazy to upload pictures. D; So, too bad? Catch me when I'm not busy and/or lazy if you want me to upload. xDD;;

And ugh, I'm cramming forever, it seems. I can never seem to be ahead of schoolwork and other activities, even if I get ahead of a few hours. It's all an illusion. @[email protected];; Like, I didn't sleep last night, lulz. xDD;;

And wow, I wouldn't think those items go together, but if you want to? 8DD;; And nuu! Stealing is bad! >.>;; Be nice now! @[email protected];; <3<3

And lucky! :x If I could donate, I would. But alas, I can't, so oh well. ^^;; I have to rely on other users who can. Which usually puts a dent on my savings, but it's a small price to pay. Especially for CI's. xDD;; <3<3

And what did I say about stealing?! ;o; </3
*gets everything back*
>.>;;

Sweety, is something wrong? *worried*

I dont think I ever told Ari good luck o.0
