It comes out on Friday :yes:

lol he means Iron man 2 xP

Haha. Yeah, I meant the second one. I guess I should clarify for the future xD

http://www.menewsha.com/forum/blogs/...-tomorrow.html

My friend in Australia saw Iron Man 2 a few hours ago and said:

Ignore the (())s. We were in the middle of an RP when her mom convinced her to go. xD;

Don't really know what I think about Suona just dropping out. Understand Zwe's reasoning. Ah well.

You and me, Silver... as it should be. Or something. xD (Seeing as we have similar ideas about avatar-making, which seems to be fairly uncommon on the site overall, it seemed appropriate.)

Okay, let me get the entries up and we'll have the judges to a quick comment session, and then I can get the next challenge up.

Time to duel it out, CK! xD

Now. We need the appropriate epic western music.

Western music isn't allowed in my presence.

-ninjas the western music-

A friend of mine is going to Stanford, too. She got accepted into Stanford, Yale, Harvard, and many more, but decided on Stanford because that has been her dream forever. And she got the Gates scholarship.

I think that you guys are amazingly lucky. It'll take a lot of work, but i'm sure you've worked your way there and deserved it. Its certainly not something that is easy to get. Congrats! ^^

EDIT:
I may not have the same reasons as Zwe, but my life has been kicking my ass, and I had a horrible week. PM has been on hold and skipping around like crazy this time, and I didn't make a committment in the beginning to have it be like this. It went weeks of nothing, and intentionally got held back a week. The new round suddenly showed up while I was still really busy and it took me a while to get to it, and for this round, I honestly dont know enough about all this to just up and make an avi in the few hours that I had left at the time. I would have to do a bunch of research and dig up information and everything, and I just was too exhausted to do that. I couldn't even stay awake and I have been so drained.

Yeah, people are probably going to be grumpy at me for dropping out, but by this point i'm just too tired to care anymore. If you guys have a problem with it, then i'm sorry, but I dont feel at fault. It truly is a shame, I know, and I hadn't expected to have to drop out. Thursday I was going to do it once I got home, but I just wanted to kill something that day, so I can't say that my mind really was thinking about PM. I have had a lot on my mind and have been completely stressed out. Family, friends, school issues. All of it. Probably one of my worst weeks of the year. Sorry again everyone. I just think I may need to take an extended hiatus from Mene. Who knows.

And that wasn't directed to be snappy at you, CK, so sorry if it seems so. Just kind of really peeved with everything right now.

I hate HATE Romeo and Juliet.

HATE.

But the sassy gay friend is funny. D:

I'm bi, but more attracted to women than men. Honestly, though, I'll probably end up with a man (assuming I ever actually date, which I don't really do right now) for two reasons.

1. I don't know a single bi/gay/lesbian in Boston.
2. It's easier. Why deal with all the homophobia and discrimination if I could go either way?

I believe that everyone is bi, though. There's just a long range of bi. Entirely attracted to men, though maybe might consider a woman if the situation was just right, but really, no, the men---through equally attracted to either--through entirely attracted to women, though might consider a man if the situation was just right, but really, no, the women.

I think the reasons that you come across so many bi/gay/lesbians on the internet are 1) some people just lie, or at the very least stretch the truth. The internet is made up of lots of young people who think it's abstractly cool to be queer but are unlikely to every actually date a member of their own sex in real life, and 2) often times the people attracted to sites like this are in some way outcasts in real life so they're creating a second life online, and I think many bi/gay/lesbians feel like outcasts. The internet is a good place to find peers with similar tastes.

Intriguing, cora is also bi if anyone is interested in knowing. I was equally dispartial to both but right now I'm feeling a bit disheartened towards the male race..... Sorry guys, I blame my ass of a husband. It will pass I'm sure......

I will also comment on Cami's- "its easier" comment. I married a man, because I was tired of it all and felt it would be the best way to live quietly, I told myself it was easier. I already had been disowned from my family, estranged from my friends and kicked out of my church before the age of 20. But now my life blew up in my face....and I wonder....was it easier. I should have stayed with my ex.....whom I will always love.

As for judgings, I'll have to do them tommarrow.....too tired now.

Suona, please keep in mind that my comment wasn't really meant towards you in the sense of, "whatever, your reasons aren't good enough" so much as, "I'm disappointed that so many people dropped out and would have liked to have gotten as far as I did knowing it was because my avatar skills were good, not because over half the contestants dropped the competition". I knew Zweres had a high chance of dropping out of Project Mene. I didn't expect you to.

:( I didn't want to drop out since I enjoyed making avatars, but I'm so busy from my little east coast escapade and studying for ap exams, and then too many commitments with sports too. XD Too many commitments. I only have to last another two weeks though.

Thats kind of what I meant with my comment to kiari last round as well.

@Zwe- good luck! Sounds like you really need it to help you servive the next few weeks (I've heard coffee helps)

Congrats on getting into Stanford btw.....lol, That was a school I never dreamed of...totally not THAT smart o.0

Yeah, I almost wish I didn't have that many things to do in real life. I enjoyed moderating the forums and participating in things like Project Mene, but so many things made it just too complicated.

Aw, thanks Cora! :hug:

I'm glad I dont have to go through that again, though I have found life dragging me away more and more lately....but thats alot more cynical and dreary then a new college.

Life is life, though. It's gotta do what its gotta do to you. xD

Amen.

I'm stuck doing an arse-load of things at the moment, but in a matter of weeks I will finally be done and surprisingly it seems like everything so far has worked out just like I planned. *crosses fingers*

<3

Arse-loads are pretty large. That's good! Are you counting down the days? xDDD
Oi, don't cross your fingers! That doesn't work anymore ~ stuff like that just makes it more likely to go kerplop on'ya.
