Your WIP for the contest looks wonderful, Nivvy!

I still need to take some time to draw something and brain storm some ideas.

o_o;Huh, I just realized I posted the same thing twice, wtf. I'm pretty sure I only posted it the first one. >>; How odd. xD
Aww, I hope you become less busy soon. xD Well, my midyear exams have just ended, so I'm really good: until I get my results back. DX And thankyou haha <3

@ Saku

Thankkk you ^^ Heres hoping I can comeplete her on time though xD;; I think I am a bit ambition with it, I want to add the partner, and a BG and everything. But honestly, i've got too much on. Haha - Ohhhh I can't wait to see what you put together as well ^^ I loved your entry to Alex's contest, did you win anything from that comp??

@ Kemii

xDDDD!!! Don't worry about it deary, I do the same thing constantly as well xD;; Its pretty funny. Gahhh thanks @[email protected];; I hope so too, the workload is hard - just coz you can't dedicate much time to one particular thing. Ohhhhh goodluck with your results!! Heres hoping you get a good grade ^^! Are you expecting to do well??

xD You're welcome. ^^ Do you mind if I ask what exactly you're doing? There might be something us people on Mene could do to help out. :hug:
Aww, thanks! <3 Well, I'm not really sure. I tried my best, so I just have to wait it out now. xD Luckily (or unluckily) my teachers are all fast markers. xD

(Sorry for my slow replies, btw. I'm trying to play tetris, chat, and work on my domain at the same time. DX)

I'm just balancing my online commissions, with my RL body of work, which needs to be exhibition standard in a week D: Eeeeek. Plus an art comp entry xD;; I wish somebody could help me >.<;; Like say if somebody from Mene burnt my art department down xDDDD!!!!

Ohhhh - your domain name?? You have your own website - May I ask what its dedicated too ^^?

Aww, I see. D: Well, I'm sure you'll be able to do everything ^^
//gets matches out anyway :ninja:

Its going to be a blog / hosting site, I think. ^^ I was given the domain for free, on the condition I had everything up and running in 2 weeks, so I'm rushing myself a bit. xD

@ Nivvy : Journalism is a four year course. =O <3<3 I'm currently in my second year, first semester. :> And woah, you're on a six year course? o_O;; That's... long. >.>;; Lolz. xDD;;

@ Kemii

Mwa ha ha ha ha <333 I used to love taking my grandmother's pots, taking her plants out - and putting stuff in that could burn, and we'd burn little fires up and down our concrete footpath xD;; Then i'd put the plants back in, hoping my grandmother wouldn't notice, even though the pot was charcoal black mwa ha ha ha. How's the website going?? I'd love to see it when its done ^^

@ Ry

Ohh wow, 4 years @[email protected];; Thats quite some time, I think the course offered where I am, is something like 1 year long. ( Thank goodness, because my partner's ex studied journalism erghhhh </3 ) 6 years is suuuch a long time >.<;; But it is for a Masters Degree... I have to repeat level 7 twice, since new rules were introduced - My first year of level 7, I only get an advanced Diploma >: Second year of level 7, is a Bachelors Degree.

Four years is long? o_O;; Four years is the regular time over here. =O That doesn't include your Master's Degree, if you wish to pursue it, which is usually another four years. Unless you take medicine or law, which will take even longer than four years, naturally. ^^;;

And aww, don't be angry at Journalism cause of her. D: Now I feel bad. ;_; </3

And ohh, so it's like you're taking 8 years instead of 7 then? =O <3<3

Ooops, i'd written out a reply, but didn't press post >___<;;
I do that all too often xD;; Ermmmm - i'm going to take 6 years to complete my study, if all goes well ^^;; 6 years to the Masters Degree. Eeeeep yeah! The medical field seems like it takes forever! There was a woman in my art class a few years back, who was a doctor, and also had a degree in psychology - and she was saying she is the dumb one out of her family.... LOL We all just gaped at her like... wowza.... and she said to kill some time she figured she'd do a psychology degree xD;; Wtf.... LOL

Ohhh sorry Ryry didn't mean to make you feel bad at all ^^. *huggles*

Lolz. xDD;; Talk about an over-achieving family. 8DD;;
I actually think I'm the "dumbest" in the family though. xDD;;
I mean, both my parents are really smart and successful, and my brother is a genius, really. :x
He's just really lazy too (like me xDD), but he's naturally intelligent. ^^;;
I try my best though, and don't let that fact get to me. 8DD;;

*hugglesquishes back*
:>
<3<3

Hi nivvy!

said i'd stop by you're quest thread ~_^

rylynne, you're everywhere! all the quest threads i visit!

i got my bachelor's degree in 4 years, that's pretty common in america. My sister's going to vet school to get her DVM (Doctor of Veternary medicine) and she has to go to school for eight years.

Lolz. xDD;;
Well, I do help numerous people keep their quest threads alive. ^^;;
The Quest subforum is my home, after all. 8DD;; <3<3

Nice. I tend to visit the quest threads and exchange mostly.

that, and the arcade XD

I should really visit the Exchange more often too. D:
But hmm, maybe it's cause I don't have a thread there yet that I don't visit as much. ^^;;

And oh yes, the Arcade. xDD;;
Don't we all frequent that place too much. =P <3<3

Hellllo Alexis ^^ <333

Ohhh wow, a vet @[email protected];; Wish I coulda done that ^^
What was your bachelors in??

@ Ryry


Best way to be Ry ^^! Get on with it :D
I find the exchange scary xD;; Wouldn't have done it without Roach I don't think Lols

Yeah, I try. ^^;;
I'm the type who's too lazy to mope around anyway. xDD;;
I mean, I'm usually very lazy, so why should I spend my non-lazy moments moping about something I can't help? ^^;;
That's my weird logic anyway. 8DD;;

And it's not scary! =O <3<3
It's big, yes, but not scary. xDD;;
And lolz, at least you have Chi with you then. =P

Computer science, though i think i had mentioned that in my exchange thread.

And yeah, we're all super proud of her. She actually used to have an account on mene, Aiko Valentine (Tetris champ) but had to quit because she was so busy with vet school.

@ Ry

I just find the whole... haggling thing scary for some reason xD;; I try to avoid haggling and whatnot, as much as I can. Hahah - I dunno, something about getting shot down makes me terrified :P

@ Alexis

Ohhhh - of course, now I remember our discussion ^^. How is the job hunt going for ya?? Ohh clever girl! <3 I think i'll have to follow her lead, and go on hiatus for a bit too. It's great to hear of a younger person aiming for something - so sad that around here, our younguns aim for nothing, and they end up being young parents, with no qualifications to fall back onto.

Yeah, it's a sad trend in society. She's brilliant though, was valedictorian and everything.

The job hunt in going well, I passed a phone interview and skills asessment test for a job in wisconsin. Now i just have to pass the face to face interview ^^

and aww...your thinking about going on hiatus? I guess you have to do what's best for yourself.

@ Nivvy : Lolz, I'm a haggler both here and irl, so, getting shot down and negotiating prices is all natural for me. 8DD;; You shouldn't be so scared to haggle though, I think. =P I mean, the person selling is also looking for a buyer anyway, so they wouldn't shoo you away so drastically if they don't like your pricing, if ever. ^^;; And besides, Menewshans are nice~ 8DD;; <3<3

@ Alexis

Awesome ^^ Congrats on the job situation! Fingers crossed for ya with the face, to face interview <3 Floss your teeth! Just not around the time of the interview coz your gums might bleed. Lols!

Yeah @[email protected];; I have started already pretty much. Just have a huge workload to keep in mind. Which is passing by quickly (thank goodness) I've got two pieces for an exhibition sorted, and two pieces for my mid year assessment at tech. So really now it's the finer points that need some attention, like hanging brakets, and artist statements. Nothing too major. Mene has been great for me recently though, destressing, and able to get lost in posting and what not ^^!

@ Ry

So true Ry @[email protected];; I need to grow a pair already! LOL. Howcome you haggle IRL?? Sounds like a really great skill to have :D annnnd, I see you have a head chicky chick! Have you always had that >__o??

Lol, thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to remember that.

I always find that mene acts as a destressor for me as well, but it DOES take a lot of time out of your day if you try and earn your 500 gold and everything else.

And it's good that your workload is getting ligter, hopefully all your pieces turn out the way you envisioned them to.

@ Nivvy : In street bazaars and other places where haggling is allowed, I do haggle a lot. xDD;; I mean, why pay for something that's a certain price if you can get it cheaper? =P Of course, I don't haggle when I can't haggle, because that's just silly (lulz), but I do haggle if I can. :3 It's a fun skill to have. xDD;; It's a mixture of being good at conversing with the sales person, facial expressions, and, umm, a little bit of acting? 8DD;; It's complicated, but I usually get at least 10% off for things I can haggle with. =P

And no, I've only had it recently. ^^;; It was the latest EI I purchased. xDD;; Bought it from Ebil after she reserved it for me~ :3 <3<3

Ello Alexis ^^!!!

How did the interview go!? O____o


Heylo Ryry :D

Congrats on the chicky ^^! Isn't it great that Ebil has allowed for reserves and whatnot?? Gaining straight pure is very scary though xD;; Just coz I wanna throw it away at everything I see lmao.

Wow... that sounds interesting, being able to haggle and everything. I don't think there is anything in this city that allows for haggling! Very interesting that it's down to a combination of skills too... Hymm, I can see why though. What has been your most proud moment in haggling???
