Oh dear poor KAt.

Why, thank you.

@Kat: how funny! It must've been a surprise when you noticed the change.

yes it was, but it was more suprising when someone said the event was fun and I didn't know there was an event. I'm so oblivous.

Rei! Granny! and person I have not met! hi!!!

The strange thing was that they started the event early.

Last year I believe they started it on Valentine's day.

Yes, yes, I'm new. The smell of brewing tea was just so alluring that I couldn't resist.

I was surprised they started the event so early, as well.

I think they wanted it to be over by the end of this weekend? Or something like that, idk.

I was suprised for sure too! I thought Zea was supposed to tell me when it started, but no!

Well, I am very happy that it's over on the 18th.
I am leaving to visit some family on that day, so I would not be able to be online!

Possibly.

I'm excited to see the first event item tomorrow. I missed the Christmas affair and had to buy the commons, etc, at full price. I refuse to miss out on these.

Is the first item tomorrow or the next day?

You're right, it might be the day after, considering the time changes. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

that's good granny. but the event starting now is actually really bad for me. I need to do a big art project tonight, but one of my good friends here is having a going away party because she's deploying tomorrow and the event so I don't know if I'm going to do my hw.

What homework are you enjoying so much, Plum?

Yes, Elysium. Right now it's late night for me, and the 12th isn't for another whole day yet.

First item is on the 12th.

Mmm. That must be sad, Kat. Where is your friend deploying to?

Afghanistan where she won't have internet really for a year. :cry:

*Sigh* I wish this war were over. It's taken so many people away from their friends and family. (I personally have three cousins either in or considering the army) It's never a happy occasion when they go off.

I have family in the army too and my cousins husband is in Iraq and will be there when she has their first child. sad.

I'm sorry?

That's the sort of thing that really tugs at my heartstrings. I wouldn't wish that fate on any couple.

Unfortunately, the military is just about the last occupation left with decent benefits (college tuition and all).

Oh my, Plum. That is beautiful! Very nicely done!

I have a friend who's son is in Iraq.
I would be very sad about it, but he requested that duty.
He actually joined the marines for the chance to go there.

So true, Platinum, so true.

Wonderful piece, by the way. How long has it taken you thus far?

Hello hello everyone! ^^
