It is meant to symbolize blessings, the red packet.
Cash is inside. XD

Oh, > w >;;
Cash is definitely a blessing!

There is supposely another story behind the red packet... but I forgot~ >_<

Well, I thought they were given like a "good luck charm" like those wish ties that they wrap around a tree in the temple area.

It always means something good...
I am talking about the story behind it. XD
There is a story of why we light the loud crackers in Chinese new Year.
We have story on why we eat mooncake during Full Moon Festival.
We have story on a lot of things, just like any other religion/race/tribe/whatever.

I know. But firecrackers are loud regardless, though. lol

&& I wasn't specifically talking about the meaning of the Chinese.
Just the envelopes.

Yeah. I can understand that completely. I have no choice because I'm doing the last of my courses all online xP! And that's true.

Hahaha, it's okay. It was a long time ago. I don't even remember when Foggy quit Mene?

Yeah, I miss all you guys. :( I should get some kind of contact thing for my close friends on here so that I can still keep in touch when I'm away from Mene for such long periods of time. I try and avoid Mene, honestly, because I know it's a distraction that I really can't afford right now. But it's hard once I start going back on regularly for a little while.

Oh man. I wouldn't be able to do online classes. I wouldn't get anything done. lol xP

Oh wow. lol Read your conversation with Kent about whether she quit or not. xP Makes me think of Rylynne. :( I wonder how she's been. She's been away for such a long time now.

Aw. Well, the Valentines event is going to last for a while. Maybe on the weekend, you'll see everyone? :D Oh, well, you can always use it as a distraction for Sundays? (If they are free and your not going anywhere, that is). Yeah. I've been asked about Skype and everything but I don't have that stuff. XD If I get stuck on another "messenger" thing, I will die.

Heheheh! It's tempting--to procrastinate 27/4. > . >;
But I only do so a little. I have to sometimes anyway, I'm in charge of all the cleaning in this house.

=P! Yesss. Elaine quit a long time ago. She's off and started her career, I think?
I don't know about Ryry, though. I haven't seen her online at all, even during Mene events. She's prolly gone for good too?

Elainene? Sounds familiar...

Elaine = Foggyday's real name, dun dun dun

She has her Deviantart account still up, I think?

WHAT?! Foggygy gone?! T___T
What career! How could she~

Life always comes and picks people off like that. loolll

Lol well, that's what life is all summed up in a nutshell.
There are other various situations but that is a good summary for the purpose of this discussion :P

ah, well, as long as you've studied up on your Kanji, Japanese--you'd be a-okay! I don't think I could do that--live in a foreign country--it's worse off in those places. Especially being overcrowded being one of the major problems.

eh, drug addicted idiots and regular idiots with no future? LOL

*shrugs* 2 kids in my class died. One back in middle school from overdose and another in high school from another overdose but he was a imbecile from the beginning. He could've lived if he didn't do what the Jocks and Cheerleaders wanted him to do.

The others who do, usually accidentally die in car wrecks and other various fiasco's.

Uhhhuhh. Well, I'll let you believe that xD

Yeah. ; o;

lol I guess so. XD

I haven't really studied up on my Kanji that much, but I would like to try translating books someday. So I definitely want to study up on my Japanese~ ; w; I think that's one of the things that interests me about Japan. The places I see in manga and anime interest me so much. I love seeing students walking to school in narrow streets and such. XD I like the idea of just walking around a city instead of driving around in a car.

Do they really plan to die, though? ; o;

I believe it. > 3< You can't really say someone quit unless they've said they quit themselves.

Vday~ Miroro hath thread?

Yeah, probably this weekend, since I have a test that i'm actually supposed to be studying for right now (i'll get off after this post. lol) Sundays are usually homework days. I enjoy Skype, but I don't use it as a messenger thing. I just videochat with my (now) ex and maybe my parents. What do you mean if you get stuck?

Right? It's super tempting, and so hard not to once on Mene. lol

I'm thinking she got busy with life and then forgot about Mene. Surprising since she was such an advent poster, but who knows. Just hope she's okay.

Maybe I have too less a distraction to forget avatar sites...

They sell a lot in College bookstores. I think your best bet would be the Rosetta Stone edition, which is hecka expensive. My mom wants that program for herself as well.

What about the Studio Ghibli Museum? D: OR THE big Helli Kitty store!

You'd definitely be exercising 24/7. But when ppl get sick there it's best to stock up on medical face masks. xD

The first one? I don't know. I think he just hated his life and he decided to end it.

The second one, no. He was always trying to make the Jocks and Cheerleaders approve of him. So he committed to a dare of downing morphine and was dying from the overdose. They either tossed him in whoever the house belong to, in the garage or something in panic and he called my mom at 2am just as he was dying and thanked her for treating him like a real person and then he died. The murderers were the casket carriers.

The murderers family are the "elite" in my town that have connections to the city council and donate to all the businesses here and they struck a deal with his parents to not press charges on their children and they'd let them into their "circle." Because I guess they were treated like outcasts in this town. But soon after they disappeared out of town and no one was held accountable for his death.

I know that the kids weren't the ones that shoved the bottle down his throat but I call them murderers based on:
(A) The fact that they knew that, that kind of amount of poison would kill him.
(B) Didn't call an ambulance/ police after he started getting sick and letting him die in whose house/garage they were at/in
(C) Not calling his parents and telling them what was going on or what they were doing in the first place

In addition, all of the kids and parents would've been in trouble for them getting their hands on morphine and whatever other drugs they had during the party they were throwing.

But both of their pictures and deaths are in our Senior Year book.

Hahaha! We all do that--procrastinate against our homework. XD It's a bad habit

I hope you get good scores! I know you said that you haven't gotten them back yet even though they were elecronical, yes? I saw you said that in somebodies thread in the VDAY event forum.

Yeah, same. Skype does look easier to use, though.

Stuck as in I will always be on the messengers and never tare myself away from it. That's what it was like before. I was always on the messengers and wasted my time like whoa. >.o;

Prolly? Or you have a good memory.

My dad had Rosetta Stone at one time because he was in the Army, but he doesn't anymore because he retired. I used it a little, but I didn't like to because he always had to sign in on some site so I could use it. > x< I wish I used it more, though.
I'd love to visit Studio Ghibli Museum! > w< And Tokyo Tower~
I love walking~ = w= lol Do face masks help that much? XD

I was just wondering if people really plan to die young. D: I guess some people do. :C

D: Miroro's wall of text!!!
*afraid*

*pokes head in* Hi there all. Just saying hi so you don't think I'm dead!

\o Hey taiyo!

Heya, Seito! Eeee! Cute froggy boots!

Hold it...is that IV in your siggy, or am I just being a weird geek?

Thank you * u * I love that I finally got to use these boots.

Nope. Not IV. Takuto from Star Driver. xD The two are easily mixed up I'm told because they look exactly alike.

Yay! Thread is revived again! ^_^

I killed the thread before event. XD lol.
