bbr, happens! And with this post, I now have all five EIs! So excited :D
No it was just me. I didn't post a lot - I was a lurker. I would stalk the thread and see all the updates but was too nervous to ever try it out myself XD

YAY! congrats!

LMAO a hideous avvie contest XDD
Oh wow. That is a lot of students and stuff to do. Music is fun though. Out of curiosity since there is a general music class do they still have band for the middle school students to join?


Yup, a hideous avi contest. The good olde days, lmao.

The band is the one thing I don't do. There is a band director who comes in after school and the kids pay him directly to have him teach the band. It's really small though...18 kids total D:

I always wanted to take part in Project Mene since if first started. I was always afraid that I wouldn't have the time or the items I'd need for the avatars. Of course now that I'm taking part in it I found myself buying new commons to make my entries.

Seiki unfriendly? I haven't seen that, but then we haven't really chatted much either and I tend to get along with just about anyone.

After school? That is a lot different from where I live. Of course the elementary, middle and high schools are all separate. I know that I wouldn't have been able to take band if my parents had to pay for it like that. So I'm not too surprised that there aren't many students.

Apparently they used to have a full time general music teacher who also did the music theatre....and a part time teacher who came and did a band elective for the middle schoolers.

But the school is a private school and has really declined in enrollment numbers and so now only did they completely cut the band teacher...but cut the music teacher to part time.

And the enrollment numbers are already down for next year.... I've had a parent say to me, "this is probably unprofessional for me to say but I'm putting my kids in a new school next year....the only teacher here we will miss is you" and that was a huge compliment but so sad because so many parents feel the same way...

I mean, not that I was unfriendly, but I definitely think that I had an elitist attitude. I was one of those avatar snobs who told it as it is and held nothing back, and I thought everything was my way or the highway. That's one of the reasons why I was kicked off the staff back in the day. I've mellowed out a lot in comparison, but I think that there are definitely times where I still act like a snob or come off as abrasive towards people.

if I can earn some tokens before the event is over (which I still don't know what time that will be) to buy commons I will, but I want to make sure I get the things that I want before I lose the chance to get them cheap!

Hi Bubble!
You were part of the staff? I don't even remember that XDD *been here since 07 and didn't know* XDDD

All the items I want are the higher priced ones so it's taking a while to earn the tokens XD

It was Mid-07 to Early-08. I was a moderator/event coordinator. It was a really long time ago.

Lol I totally don't remember that XD It always surprises me when I see people who were part of the staff and I didn't know they were XDD

I feel like the staff has been pretty solid the past couple years at least XD I didn't realize how much staff change has happened over the years XD

It has been pretty solid actually. Not a lot of change. A few new moderators/pixelists to replace those who left the staff, but generally pretty solid.

My birthday is in the beginning of March so I'm actually okay with that. hehe.

I do, but it hasn't been updated in a year I think. I post my stuff on tumblr, now. It's just easier for me.
Tumblr and DA
I'm not that great, though. Please don't be disappointed.

Well, thanks a lot! :D

I will. I might make a thread later to draw some people and I'll post that. I have a lot of stuff to post on tumblr already, I'm just finishing a drawing and then I'll post them all. That's why the last thing there is like a week or so old.

What did you buy her, if I may ask? xP
My birthday is on the 9th. :) And thank you! I'll be 19. Almost not a teen. hehe
