Haha if you get sucked into Gaia, I am not to be blamed!!

Are you an artist? I love DA! Lied about your age to get onto a website? Who hasn't? ;)

As for the gaia thing, cora and the gaian staff have a past. I do not discourage others from enjoying the place.

Haha, I was going to say that I thought I distinctively remembered you on Gaia, but then realized that maybe someone had a similar username is all.

It has been a while! How are you?

I never had to. I was 16 when gaia was created and that was my first real experience with signing up for those sorts of things.

Not an artist, not really. ^^; I mean, I do digital coloring of the freebie handout linearts and I like spriting (I have a pixel board on here) so... well I guess yeah, I am. Haha. But I'm more of a writer. I just usually keep my writing to myself. I think I took all of my writing out of my gallery, actually. It's the same username if you'd like to check me out. solaria92 I don't put much up there, though.

@Randeh- I do have an account cora lorington over there though it was never my main.

I've been busy mostly, I now content with two jobs working nearly a hundred hours a week. So life has been busy. But otherwise good ^.^

How about yourself?

Haha I may have been talking about something a bit more explicit ^^;;

Haha I recognize the name Cora Lorington, not the others! Weird :P

100 hours a week?! Are you a vampire? Do you sleep? What's the deal?! What do you do?

I work my full time job and a lot of over time, but it's slack like answering e-mails and chatting with our clients so it's easy stuff. :) Apart from that, on a dating website getting the best ego boosts of life and breaking hearts, like women do. ;D

That was my kitten, Scrapper, back when he was that tiny! We kept him (humanely) tethered to the porch in the summer for some playtime. Haha. Those were for our black and white unit in photography class, but the teacher didn't like portraits (animal or people) or really any of the photos I took so they were graded badly even though all of my classmates came up to me afterward and told me they all loved my photos. >.<

I have problems with art classes being graded sometimes. >__>

Well 60-80 hours of that is testing software, which although not physically draining takes a lot of mental capacity. The other 20-30 hours is for dollar general, a small sort of convenience store.

Awe! Sometimes I find with art classes, in order to be graded properly (not all the time, but with some teachers) you have to do things they like. Heck, even with English essays, if you write about a subject the teacher likes and take his/her view on it, you get graded better. But like I said, not all teachers. :)

I thought the pictures were cute!

Jeebus @__@! That's a lot of work. I worked at a convenient store growing up for 4 and a half years. Easily my most favourite job. I loved the owners and the regulars :)

It's fun! I like seeing "old faces" again :) My avatar looks like it comes off the pages of a 2003-2004 catalog for Gaia XD I need to update it, but I like her .___.;;

Oh, I know how to fudge my way to A's in English. Haha. I'm good with words, it's just when it comes to photography, I've never been able to conform.

@Randeh- my gaian avatar looked exactly the same from 2003-2012, In 2012 I finally sold off all my old items for artwork. I had quite the collection of 2003 stuff....got me a good deal of artwork. But the artists on Gaia charge a mint for artwork. I'm all for pay good prices for artwork......but a mil gold hardly gets you one peice of art anymore *stops herself before this turns into a rant*

Dollar General is alright, but alot of work. We only have 5 people that work there so each person is responsible for cleaning, cashing, stocking, and maintenance of the place.

I love writing essays. The idea of researching everything and then putting it all together is so soothing :D I'd love to learn photography one day! Keep at it :D!

Actually I do recall that HAHA!

I TOTALLY know what you mean. I was going to sell off my hoard of awesome items for art and then realized that it's all WAY too expensive now !___! So I keep my items and make profiles for art instead. The prices there are atrocious!

But that's why for me, Gaia is to reconnect with old friends, Mene is for friends, chatter, fun and everything else XD You can actually quest on Mene and accomplish something.

Yes! I totally did all the cleaning and stocking and everything. We had the owners (husband and wife) and two of us :) I worked full time, they still ask me to come back haha. It's just a really fun, easy job. It's unfortunate they won't pay me what I make now XD

Gosh, Cora, you sound like you work at the one that's around the corner from my house. :P

@Randeh I've fallen out of favor with photography recently. Maybe when I have the time and the money. ^^; I like spriting much more at the moment, and writing has always been my main love.

mine is super random right now. I was making different avatars with like all the poses multi pose items had. And than i was getting rid of the items >.<

I used to make art, but as I can not bring myself to charge those prices for my art it never really got me enough to get anything decent lols. I did have someone create artwork of that avatar before I destroyed it though. After all alot of people knew her xP

i figured i would just save the avatars. and maybe do something like. Draw these avatars. pick an item off of them

Spriting is fun. I like the word, it's cute haha.

Time and money is very necessary for photography, unfortunately! People do it to get away but it takes up a lot of time!

Haha super random avatars on Gaia is totally normal and even fashionable!

I recall the avatar :) I don't recall Cora art though! Samples?!

@Randeh and unfortunately, time and money is not really something I have in abundance. It's like that saying. When you're young, you have energy, and time, but no money. When you're middle-aged, you have money, and energy, but no time. When you're old, you have time and money, but no energy. :P

well i guess its not random as in cluttered. but just random items. from awhile ago.

Oh I have never heard that saying, and I totally LOVED IT! That is SOOOOO true!!
