Wow, 150 candies in a day. I've only got 12.25 candies so far.

*Creeps in*

I think I made... 116 so far today. A few more to go for my goal.

Did you guys go trick or treating this year?

A far off high pitched wailing noise is heard, only faintly at first, but quickly gaining volume until it has everyones attention. As the high pitched noise approaches the thread, it becomes more distinguishable and begins to sound like a scream, a rather girly scream at that!

Suddenly, a tremendous crashing occurs and the roof of the thread falls in, debris and dust exploding everywhere as the screaming thing thumps into the floor and is suddenly silent.

As the dust clears and settles over everything and everyone, a heap of rubble can be seen piled up on the floor. "Urrrnnnhhh..." it groans, the rubble shifting as the pile moves a bit. "Gaaaaahhhhh! OOOOOOOWWWWWWW, DAMNIT!" the pile seems to curse loudly. "Who's freaking bright idea was THAT?" The rant continues as the rubble begins falling away and shifting as what ever is clearly underneath works its way free of the pile. "Lets have some fun I said! Climb on the freaking catapault I said! Look at me, im in the bucket, I said!" As the figure emerged, Assassin tumbled out from the massive mess of debris on the floor of the thread, ranting about how he came to be here. "That lever, yeah that one, DONT touch it I FREAKING SAID!" His body went taught as he yelled the last bit, like who ever he was yelling at back at the catapault could hear him.

"Well, here i am i guess... parachute might have been nice though. Still, I have a rived! Not quite sure what a 'rived' is exactly, or what you do with it, but ive got one!" Assassin said, laughing as he brushed himself off like falling through a threads roof was no big cause for alarm.

Looking up, he saw the faces of other people watching him curiously.

"What?"

-coughs a bit- You sure do like to make an entrance... And a mess. xD

I have 28 candies....

Hello everyone.
I have school and work today so yea....

...That could be one of the games. Figure out what a 'rived' is. :P

I was actually hoping a bigger than normal and RP type post might kill this thread... ill try harder next time Dae i swear, please dont beat me again? :P

I'll let it go this time, Assassin... -puts away beatin' stick- But only because I can finally make tea again! And in a sparkly red tea pot none the less!

Lol, so good of you, much appreciated! *makes plans to hide the beaty stick later while youre sipping tea* ^_^

I have a friend of who paints tea pots randomly for some reason. Shes weird though, and not that good at painting either lol!

Does she paint the inside of the tea pots too? Because that would make for some strange looking tea.

Hello and-- *jumps on everyone ans hugs everyone very tightly*
OMG ITS YOU GUYSSS! ;UUU; LONG TIME NO SEE. I MISSED YOU ;AAA;


how is everyone? ^u^

Assassin: Ah, our old teapot kind of had that painted look. But it was old and probably toxic and my dad left it on the stove and forgot about it. >.<

-can't breath from tight hug- >.o Hello Sparklypoo... xD

*lets Dae go* OOPS,SORRY. ;A;
Hehe,i was so excited for seeing you guys ;u; sorrysorry

by the way~ how are yoou? *u*

Sparklypoo: Dae is good. Recuperating after a long day. What about you?

Gwen, no not the inside, just the outside.

Dae, a change like that is good sometimes. Ive started making some major life changes at the moment actually. And its impacting my life in ways i hadnt anticipated too! Going to the gym regularly to get fit and strong again is actually making me want to eat healthy! Tonight i went and bought packets of dried fruit while i was doing some shopping. I dont eat a lot of fruit usually but i like dried fruit for some reason?

*pets dae and gives her tea* that's lovely~

I am great,quite bored,listening silly songs and playing games for some gold...and i didn't go to school,lol too lazy; XD

Its Le Poo! *tackles poo* ^_^

Assassin: I need to be doing something like that... Or maybe start taking job hunting more seriously. >.>;

Sparklypoo: Eh, school at this point in my life feels like it's delaying the inevitable... >.<;

But school is important! Finishing school gives you so many more opportunities than not finishing.

@Assassin: *lovesloves* YESS it'smee~ :heart: *giggles*

@Dae: aww *hug* lol same here 8C

@Gwen: but i passed almost everything already. XD and i am getting derpy and teachers throw more stuff at poor me 8C

Dae, get a job, its well and fine to have a hot body from crazy gym work outs, but you cant live on appearance. That said, Gwen has the right of it, finish schooling stuff first, makes the job bit easier afterwards.

Im -hopefully- changing jobs soon too. a LOT less pay, but MUCH more interesting work and MUCH more satisfying work too. The pay will go up too, so thats a good thing. Apprenticeship pay sucks though, ill deffinitely need to get a house mate, or move out of here, one or the other. >_<

Poo, who is this 'smee' ? you speak of? Does he know Captain Hook?

Honestly, I don't feel like my higher education did really anything for me but then again, I think it was a combination of not the right school and not a good program. And I'm not saying school isn't important but it really is delaying entering the real world. In my field, I get the feeling that experience in the field can supplement a lot of education.

And Assassin, I meant more the motivation part than the working out thing. xD

@Assassin: it was supposed to be its me XD BUT MY KEYBOARD IS OLD AND QUITE SENILE.SOOO.... 8CCC FFF-


@Dae: lolol,same here. (school doesnt really does me much good. i am learning stuff i'll never use. and learning how people can be stupid and hateful...so yeah! 8CC)

Lol, i saw a good motivation talk on TED when i was starting the gym. Thats basically, if you do one small thing for 30 days, youll feel good. It doesnt have to be anything big, just something that you have to accomplish every day. Apparently, 30 days is roughly long enough to form some sort of basic habit behaviour and if you do something like that for 30 days, then move on to something a little bigger and do THAT for 30+ days then youll feel really good at the end, youll start to feel like your achieving something and your confidence and happiness increases in your life.

I dont think i explained that exactly right, but you get the sort of general idea right?

Also, yes, some occupations, experience can outweigh certifications. That said, certifications usually mean that youll progress further/last longer in a field than some one who doesnt have that knowledge base that a trained person does. The counter to that is that some one who knows their stuff from experience knows it intuitively, is accutely tuned to what ever they do, and generally can learn most stuff that qualifications etc provide very quickly if they absolutely need to.
