yeah im too poor to drive. but maybe if you ever decide you want to visit guelph, let me know and we can hang out for a bit.
Well at least you can drive, unlike me at the moment. D:
But sure thing! I have a couple friends studying at Guelph University, so if I ever choose to visit them.. I'm sure we can work something out to meet up as well. :3

Oh, how annoying it can be to be poor. D:
But yay for someday! Hope is a bright shining star! Now shoot for the stars, and get that money asap!
Mhmm.. but first, I'd have to get my G1 and G2 OR find out if anyone I know is going to Guelph, and if they would mind if I join them on the day trip. >_>;;
Perhaps you should come up to Toronto and we can meet up in good 'ole Tdot instead? >w<;
i hate toronto. and i hate going there. every time i go i feel my skin saturated with poison. Guelph has all the amenities of a city without actually seeming a city. no city smells and no city attitudes. i only go to toronto if my boyfriends band is playing there. or if i absolutely have no other option. sorry. no offence... its just that i have had any number of bad experiences there that it has soured my taste for it.

Ravenshade. they are a metal band. i can link you to a youtube video if you want.
but mostly i almost get run over, i get sexually harassed, i get told that the world is ending and its my fault and that i have no future, and everything is overpriced and the air is just so full of pollution that i feel it on my skin and need to have a shower as soon as i can. that about sums it up. it also reminds me of my childhood as my dad used to work in the TD buildings... you know, those three big black square buildings... it was a different time back then... i dont like dwelling on it.
Hmm... I probably wouldn't listen much as I'm not much of a metal person.. XP
Really? You get harassed? D: *is speechless*
Yeah, there can be quite a lot of pollution at times, which is why when I'm down there, my nose often feels like it's itchy...since my all my senses are quite heightened, so my nose is like "get me out of here!" every time I'm in a place with either a lot of pollution or cigarette smoke. @_@;
that ok, its not for everyone. metal is kinda a neiche market.
but yeah, i get harrassed all the time. i went to a stone sour concert and got touched. and that was the last big concert i went to. it was like 4 years ago. and i have a sensitive sense of smell, its very much not a good thing at all. so the best option is to avoid places with a lot of people like its the plague.
Mhmm.. yeah, definitely. Besides there are lots of music genres out there, my preferred genres are a mix between electronic, electropop, pop, Christian, and broadway. <3
D: Really? That sucks. Perhaps you should try going to non-concert type places then, no wonder I couldn't figure out why you were being harassed as I've never been to any music concerts before. D:
Yeah.. having a sensitive sense of smell can be a pain in the butt at times, but it is rewarding as well. :3 'Tis nice to be able to take in pleasant aromas better than others. : D
thats an interesting collection of musical genre to be interested in.
oh and i get harassed in broad daylight in a mall. its just the concert was the most recent example. its kinda a more people = higher chances of someone touching me inappropriately and im really not cool with it at all. so i only hang out in lowly populated areas. its easier then me trying to figure out why im being touched more often then other people i know. and now i dont get touched as often as they do and im happy about that./ the steps i have taken are working to keep me safe and pure.
but yeah, i guess its nice being able to enjoy the smell of a cedar bush that is growing next to a lilac bush in full bloom from meters away. but still, i would give up my sense of smell for better vision. vision is just more practical and smells are uncomfortable and bring up too many memories.
Mhmm.. but I just love it, especially since the music usually has such a catchy beat and rhythm, while not being too loud on my ears. Since like my nose, my ears can be just as sensitive. >w<;
o_o; That's really odd, I've never heard of anyone I know or seen anyone in public get touched that much anywhere. I wonder why you're different in this area... D:
Yeah, of all my senses my vision is probably the worst... especially since I do have glasses, whereas my other senses don't require any mechanical aids. >_>; But I'd rather of like really, really good hearing. I feel it'd be better for me than to have better vision since I've definitely taken better care of my eyes since getting glasses and recently upgrading them to transitions, but my hearing could still be much better... considering the volume I've used to listen to music recently. x_x;;
yeah and i think that if you have never been touched inappropriately the you are only lucky gal. because i read a study that showed that by the time a woman has turned 25, there is a 75% chance that she will have had to deal with sexual harassment and unwanted physical contact from a man. Chances are higher for woman who go to university/college.
so seriously, if you part of the 25% count your lucky stars. and dont think that its because of the way you look or dress, because other studies have shown that it doesnt matter what the girl looks like or how she dresses. Its all a matter of accessibility. like if they can, they will. so dont give them the chance.
Well, I'm not twenty-five yet.. so we'll see what happens when I get there, but still from what I've seen when I'm out in public, most females in the area don't get harassed at all either. But it could also just be within the area, since I don't live directly in the Toronto area which is where it's continually happening to you. So maybe you should come up to Markham so we can meet? P: It's a lot cleaner up here, and much more friendly. :3 I wonder if that has to do with the ethic background here... :ninja:
Well, I don't think I have much to worry about since my senses tend to tell me if I have company to deal with that's not someone I know/trust, and if I don't know/trust 'em then I'll go into super wary/alert mode. Which can be quite violent when necessary. >_>;;
Well, it wouldn't necessarily always happen out in public, and it wouldn't necessarily always be obvious. Could just be a guy suddenly smacking your butt or grabbing a boob or something.
I have guy friends that'll just suddenly decide to smack/grab my butt. I dont know what goes through a guys head when they suddenly think that its okay to do stuff like that without permission, but I doubt i'll ever understand that. I've even had a friend that I went to school with since we were really little, and one day he just up and suddenly grabbed my boob. Must say that it completely shocked me, but he got decked in the arm for it. But luckily its never really been anything past that. I've not had someone that I dont know grab me innapropriately before, and hopefully never will. But I know self defense and karate, so I'll just have to kick their butts if they do. ;P My self defense teacher told us about how one of his students before had broken a guys wrist at a party who decided to grab her ass. I say props to her!
Yeah, some guys just don't know when to stop or when to not act like an idiot. They've got to learn that females are people too and deserve to be treated as such. But until then, they deserved to be beaten up by a female if they try to get too close for comfort. :3
Luckily, I haven't had to hurt anyone yet, cause I wouldn't enjoy it, but if I had too... I'd gladly use my preferred punch to lay on others. One that I've been working on timing perfectly with my reflexes and senses. :3
Mhmm. Many guys aren't known for using their brains in very proper ways. Instead of using it to realize "Oh hey, I should respect her and not grab-ass her and such", it comes out more like "Oooh, ass. *grab*" And yes, some of them really need their asses kicked or to get totally chewed out to realize they should stop.
Haha. I hate hurting people, too. I really do. Which is why my friends generally get away with it decently unharmed. I'll punch them in the arm or smack their arm, but thats about it. I suppose its become such a common thing to me with my guy friends, that its not worth over-reacting about it. :lol: I had a friend in highschool that would seriously smack my butt everytime he saw me. After something like that, you get pretty use to it happening.
yeah but is it really ok for that to be something you have to get used to? honestly, i dont think it is. just last night i had i guy make the worst attempt at grabbing me i have ever seen, and i know him. and his girlfriend. and he was just really really high on something and wasnt thinking. but i gave him one of those "what the fuck is wrong with you" looks and he apologized before he did anything. but still, the attempt was made.
i seriously hope against all hopes that you never have to be treated like meat and that you will always be treated like a person because everyone deserves that.
and i am not sure if it has anything to do with culture or ethnicity. but its not just men. woman have touched me inappropriately too. i dont discriminate, i hate everyone in a big crowd. hence general avoidance.
I dont think its good to be use to that, either. So, I agree. And yeah, I've had some moments like that. I had one guy friend that really liked me that wanted to grab my boobs. I told him no way, and that he wasn't allowed to. Evidently he assumed I was kidding and started to try to do so. I definently gave him the "What the hell is your problem?" look and talking to, also. And I had a friend who I was hanging out with once at a playground at night (was after a football game). It was freezing, so he was attaching himself to me as a heat source. He ended up deciding it was funny to put his hands in my shirt and on my stomach because it was warm there, and it made me squirm and yell at him. Well, he ended up pushing me down the slide and falling after me, trapped me on the slide and had his hands up my shirt, on my stomach, but they somehow managed to make their way up to between my boobs. Oh man, I yelled at him so hard. He seemed to think I was kidding, too, but I started cussing him out and telling him to get the hell off me. Never seen him look so serious and freaked out before. :lol:
Mhmm. I dont take kindly to be disrespected, either. Especially if I already asked someone not to do something, and they insist on doing so. Very much so pisses me off. And if they're a stranger and try to pull something, then that'll really tick me off. And i'm plenty well good at speaking my mind to someone when i'm mad. :P
Thats true. I've had a bi friend grab me before. And also after I had specifically told her absolutely not to. And I had asked her politely to not touch me like that at all. She said she couldn't resist to do it at least once. -__-;;
I don't even want to think about how long it's been since I've done anything to mine. Heck even my avatar thread in that newish section I've been ignoring.
star2000shadow- Very nice use of the multiple shades of green in your avatar. I think it is worthy of the front page, but then again, 'Crow's picks' never make it. -rolls eyes and makes a shaky fist at the establishment-

Got some fabulous use of recent items here! Also, tying some older one in with great effect too, which makes me very happy :D This is seriously creepy! The crystals and fog combine to create an intensely eerie vibe. The water, visible in the distance, just adds to that spookiness, somehow.
I love the layering used to create the dress! The new wings of course giving the perfect finishing touch to that ;D I also really like the use of the trees with the trailing leaves! Not thought of that but I'm gonna try that combo out myself once I've posted this
Very cool to see the green lipstick being put to good use, too :D Those lip colours are not easy to make, so I'm super pleased to see them adding another dimension to avatars.
I really love how the crystals look like they're glowing, and the trees really give the impression of being in a dark and spooky clearing, the water looks like a swamp in the background. Maybe Star is trying to lure out some ancient tentacled beast with that (probably) poisoned apple
Aah, what a cozy and festive setting! After a long day, it's a definitely nice to just put on a fire and relax with a cup of cocoa. And since it's the holidays, it's especially relaxing! The sound of snowfall outside, the crackling of a fire, the flicker of lighted candles, and twinkling lights on a tree. Presents can be stressful and that can really take away some of the spirit of the holidays, but Star's kept it very low-key by having a reasonable amount. I see she's peeking through her stocking though!
Congrats, Star! Can I come over?
