Hey Kat Dakuu. I also remember you. :P (But then again, I am the one who keeps disappearing, not you.)

haha. what's got you disappearing this time?

Meh, too much to mention. It's rude to derail someone else's hangout with a wall of text about as large as the average page in this thread. It's even worse when it's a depressing wall of text.

A very short summary: illness, stress, depression, losses, scares about people I love, financial issues, more illness and more depression.

sounds like a really bad time. I hope things are better now.

Meh. Still ill, still dealing with depression (but then again, about 80-90% of the time at least one of those two is applicable anyway) and everyone is dealing with financial issues during an economical crisis, but things have calmed down a little for now, I guess.

How're you doing? Better than I, I hope?

one can always hope it will all be good again though.

I'm alright. just trying to figure out what to make my mom for a christmas present.

Hm, got any ideas, or..?

Sorry for the slow reply, by the way. Was playing with my avatar and I forgot how much work that is with an inventory my size.

I mean, it's sorted well - for finding out which items you have or not. For making an avatar, not so much.

...45 drawers, "All Items" excluded. Ouch.

well, I was thinking of making fridge magnets? I don't know how good of an idea that is. my mom has a lot of them, but they're all random and some are kiddie stuff. there's even a red stop sign...

haha, I don't think I have that many drawers, but I do have a lot. keeping the invo organized is a lot of work, but it's kinda fun too.

You could make puzzle-piece fridge-magnets, so that if you put them next to each other in the right order, they show or read something nice - like "Merry Christmas, Mom" :P

Yeah, well, mine's so bad I have to scroll down twice to see all layers. XD
Three drawers for EIs by years, plus in total four drawers for spare EIs, depending on if they're from 09 or before or not and if the spares form a full set or not.

So that's, what? 7 drawers for just my Event Items? :P There's only two kinds of items which don't have multiple drawers - SNGs and Commems. XD

lol, that's cute. I have puzzle pieces too and was looking at them since my mom likes puzzles, but the pieces i have don't match. I won't make anything cutesy and silly though since my mom wouldn't use that. I'm going to use those clear stone things and some crosses and doves.

just sell your old ei's! I only have one drawer for extras. only one for ei's too. none of my clothes have more than one drawer, but I still have a lot of drawers.

Ah, they don't match? That's a pity. Funny thing how I thought of puzzle pieces without knowing your mom likes them.

Reason I keep my spares is that I never know when I may need them for something, such as my charity, you know? 'cause a charity isn't going to fund itself. :P However, if I move them to my charity account, I am -only- allowed to use them for charity, so I keep them at my personal accounts unless I decide my charity can use them well. Means that if I want to sell them for gold I can use for an item of my own, I still can do that too.

I mean, we have piles and piles of puzzles, but why would I take out some matching ones? if I have puzzle pieces in my possession, its because they have lost their puzzle.

just seems like you might be hoarding a bit too much....

That's true. You could buy some magnets and glue self-made puzzle-piece shaped pieces of, say, cardboard on them, though.

Silly feels you could skip the "a bit" when she remembers one of her goals was once, and probably one day will be again, to own at least one of every item on site, commons included. XD

I think I'm good without using puzzle pieces.

what? I don't follow....

Of course, after all, it's your mom and your present - you know better than I what would or wouldn't be a good idea.

What I meant to say is that you can skip the "a bit" part in "you might be hoarding a bit too much". I just am hoarding far too much, simple as that. XD

yes, indeed. now I just have to stop being lazy and actually make it! :P

ah. so at least you know it.

Yeah, I know it. It's completely silly - but then again, so am I. :P

just donate some to me and solve your problem! XD jk...

Link me to your quest thread if you have any, and I'll take a look if anything on that list happens to be in my spare-non-set drawers. XD

I prefer not to break up sets, but loose stuff lying around is free game for random donations. :P

Man, work has been so b usy it has kept me from the internet. :(

*glomps the thread*

I don't have a quest and I've always been too lazy to make another. I have a shit ton of items anyway.

hey Kirin and Xurxo.

Well if you ever want to give them away you could always check my quest. Or donate to my charity. LOL

I need a master sheet that tells me what's on each CI.
I can never remember where an item is when it's hiding in a CI or EI.

it's not that hard to remember!
