Aww :(
That sucks!
The only reason I use paypal is for transactions such as this :( </3
You'd think it'd be universal o.O;

No - she hasn't added to her offer yet~
And it can be either~
It's just a pain in the ass to have to turn around and sell THOSE items, ya know?
Though I think they'll go faster than the hooch because they're highly wanted items :3

Hahaha a lottt of drama over the course of 3 days. Literally, 3 days and it was so much drama that I got a headache XD;
It was crazyyyy~
Sooo I'm taking a break 'cause I need it lol
ESPECIALLY before I go and try to work around this stupid post per page update -sigh-
[/nottt looking forward to it WHAT so ever because it's going to take FOREVER and be a bigger pain in the arse than selling items :/

It ideally is indeed universal, but I guess the Philippines isn't a profitable place to set it up in or something. xDD;; Funny though, since I know that we tend to buy a LOT of stuff online. Or, at the very least, the local online shops are all flourishing right now, haha. XP

Maybe you should ping all the people offering right now, once you're almost ready to decide. That way, if they have last minute additions to their offers, they can add whatever, right? :'>
Yeah, it MIGHT be easier, although keep in mind that people may just offer MORE items for the two, haha. xDD;; They cost less though, so hopefully there will be more goldies involved. XP

Now you got me curious. My journalistic instincts are going all, "What? Where? When? Why did I not know this? I'm supposed to be informed!" Haha. xDD;; Sorry. ^^;; Btw, I'm getting even more confused, for the record. @[email protected];; The drama is about the new 25-posts-per-page thing...? o_o;;

Hahaha~
Ah well - it'll be there someday!!
If not -- start a petition ;)

I'm only going to take pure for them :P
And I plan to -- but I'm taking offers through the 15th -- I'm not going to ping them until the 14th :3

Ehh - it doesn't matter really lol
Over and done with :P

As for the post thing, no -- that as only a part of the drama that ensued XD;
That got on a lot of people's nerves, though -- not just mine ;)

Lolz, I think I'll just wait for them. I don't need Paypal THAT bad now. XP

Ohh, so what about Bartuc's offer then? xDD;; If the 45k offer adds another nice item, maybe that could help, right? 8DD;;

I see then... I'm itching to know more, but I'm in no mood to research and post-stalk. @[email protected];; I've been building a profile on a local congressman for a class project, so I've had quite enough of searching through tons of paperwork and online references to last me for a while. xDD;;

Haha I meant if it doesn't show up in like, 5-10 years :P

If it's close to Bartuc's offer :3

XD
Like I said, it's really nothing serious :P

-sigh-
Can I just fast-forward a few months and start my life back up again then?
Sooo sick of it right now in general >.>

I guess. xDD;; I hope it shows up in at most a couple of years though. Come on, our country's not THAT backward now. xDD;;

Well, like I said, ping them all when you're almost ready to decide, and let them do the rest. XP

But still! D: </3
My innate curiosity will not let this be. @[email protected];;

Aww. :'< </3
*hugglesquishes muchly*
I don't know what's going on, but I really hope things look up for you. <3<3
I wish I could offer more than just good luck though. >.<;;

LOL
I honestly couldn't tell you -- I don't get much into how other countries run etc. XD;

That's what I'm going to do :P
I'm not making any decisions until the 16th lol

xD
It's not a biggie dear, and you'd spend hours trying to find it in my posts -- seriously -- just let it be :P
It's not worth it, nor does it matter :P

Lol thanks <3
Who knows how it'll end up :/
Drama just seems to follow me everywhere, and I'm getting pretty sick of it.
The frustration it causes causes stress on me and it's stress I can't have in my life physically. [/has basically been told by doctors to lead a stress free life as much as possible due to my medical 'cause it causes more strain on my body]
If it weren't for my protective and passionate nature, and my nature to help people, then it wouldn't be so damn difficult, but it's unbelievably hard -not- to care. :(

Seriously though? I need to change that part about me because it's not helping me, it's just causing harm and it just gets people pissed 'cause I'm too blunt and honest about things, especially things they don't want to hear :/
So I'm making it my new years resolution. I'm not worrying about anything that doesn't directly involve me, I'm not getting into things and trying to help 'cause people just get pissed at what I have to say, I'm not going to let things get to me anymore, I'm not going to sit there and think about things that aren't going to change, and I'm basically going to try and "revamp", so to speak, my nature.

Hopefully, if I can do this, drama will just get out of my life because I'm not always listening to it and worrying over it, ya know?

Same here, really. xDD;;

Okies then, good luck with that then! =O <3<3

B-But...! D8 Curiosity did kill the cat, noh? >3>;; Lulz. xDD;;

You seem to have made up your mind then. =O I'm in no position to hand out advice and whatnot right now because I'm tired and it wouldn't be coherent, but if you believe that's what you have to do, then I wish you luck in that. However, if you're like me and it's in your nature to be privy to things and to make sure you are heard when you have an opinion, not caring and not sharing might just do you in and have the opposite effect.

Others may find it better off, but you yourself will still stress about it because you're constantly over-thinking your words and watching what you say. And that will also cause a different kind of stress and drama. xDD;; I've been there myself, and I'm lucky I've overcome it for the most part. =)

Of course, you can just brush it off, because I have no idea what this is about for the most part. xDD;; I'm just saying what I think with what little information I have of the situation. XP

Ehh, I pinged them anyways XD
I want to close up offers soon and just get it over with and get this debt paid off LOL
I hate it looming over me saying "You can't buy stuff. No buying. NO NO NO!" xD;

Yeahh... that's the only problem xD;
And no -- it's not that I made up my mind :P
It was more "Maybe writing out what others thing I should do, but saying I should do it, will make me think I should do it, and will make me more able to change it... if I can trick myself... maybe...."
But yeah, it's never going to happen~
I mean, I said that and then no sooner did I say it, did I totally contradict it 'cause I just couldn't HELP but be who I am~
-sigh-
It's very frustrating to like how you are, like who you are, and love that you're honest (even if it is a bit blunt) about every single thing, and basically have other people tell you that it's wrong to be how you are, ya know?
I mean, I can't exactly HELP that I say truthful things rather bluntly and not so delicately before thinking about it -- especially in face to face conversations :sweat:
It's how my family is -- it's how I was raised~
I was raised to speak my mind, not let others push me around, stand up for what it is right, tell the truth, and protect those you love and cherish most~
It's just... who I am..
I just hate how people get pissed off at me because of what I say, ya know?

And believe me -- I over-think everything when people get pissed off at me for what I say :/
I start to think "Am I really wrong here?" when I know I'm right and am just standing up for my beliefs/looking out for the person/trying to be honest with them.
I mean, I'm a really shitty liar -- you can totally tell when I'm lying -- it's jut not in me to keep it in and to lie about things, ya know? :sweat:

Hahaha just multiple things piling up and piling up~
People getting pissed off at me for disagreeing with them and being bluntly honest about it all~
Etc. haha
Basically me being to open, protective, and honest about a situation and they not liking it to the point where they get seriously pissed off at me~
And I'm kind of left here, the only one at fault for being too concerned, and basically left to the point where I'm just like "Wtf... Ya know what, I just give up. You win, I apologize." and kind of try to end it :/
I'm always the one that does that, though, and it doesn't sit well with me when I know I'm not in the wrong here, just too openly blunt and honest :( </3

-sigh-
I dunno...
Sorry for going on like that XD;
Didn't mean to ^_^;;;

LOLZ. xDD;; I have that sign above my head right now. D: Well, not exactly, since the only thing I'm permitting myself to buy are the January 2011 CIs, haha. XP

I can see where you're going. :x You don't have to change who you are completely though! Think of it as reaching a compromise between you and the universe. xDD;; Like, try to be more tactful in delicate situations, but when things come to shove you have to stand up for yourself. Not a good example of a compromise, but I hope you get what I mean. >.<;;

I think compromise and learning when to back down are traits and virtues often overlooked. I remember reading something before in a story about how not all things have to be fought over, and learning when to back down (no matter how much you know you're right) has its merits as well.

When what you've just described happens to me, I always end up saying something akin to, "You know how I feel about the situation. Let's agree to disagree then. But when you come to realize that there is indeed truth to what I'm saying, or would like to argue sensibly, then we can continue this discussion." Well, it never comes out that eloquently in real life, but you get what I'm saying. xDD;; Again... compromise? >.<;;

Don't worry, I don't mind. ^^
Although, if I suddenly disappear, it's really not your fault though! It's past 12am and I have class later, haha. xDD;; So, I may suddenly up and go to sleep if ever. @[email protected];; Just an advanced warning. ^^;;

@RyeRye - I try to chat in your threads~ <3 Nobody ever chats in mine it seems, or sticks around longer than a few days, lolz. xD

And rofl, I see. xDD Makes sense, you always use a lot of color and accessories~ ;'D <3

Hahaha <3
Guess we're stuck in the same boat!

xD
I am tactful at first -- then they want to know how I really feel and so I say it bluntly XD;
Other times, like when I see someone being stupid and just falling right back into a pattern/trap with someone, I bluntly say they're being stupid and I sort of "yell" at them because in the end, I'm the one that's going to have to hear all the bad shit that goes on, and I'm just tired of seeing people I care about getting hurt over and over again by people and them just letting the people do it :/
It's happened to many people I care about and it's happened in the sense where people text me drunk how they hate themselves for drinking and how they hate how they're starting to become their parents, yet you see them drinking again some time or another. Finally I just say "It's your life, do what you want, but I don't want to hear a single word about it. I don't want to know what happened, how it happened, what that person did, etc. I want nothing to do with it what so ever."
And then they get even -more- pissed at me :/
I honestly just can't win with people no matter what the hell I do or say :/
One way or another, they get pissed at me for either disagreeing with them on their decisions or for telling them a truth they don't want to hear or for not wanting to hear about their problems after they keep falling into the same old traps again and again.
One of my best friends got pissed at me in the car 'cause I told her how she was treating a guy who really head over heals liked her, and she didn't like what I had to say~
I mean, after about 5-10 minutes of her thinking about it, she actually realized what she was doing and played everything out and saw what I was talking about, but there are VERY few instances in which I ended up being "right in their eyes", ya know what I mean?
In this case, she got pissed and let it go. We were fine and laughing again after the car ride wherever it was to~
But 95% of the time, they get pissed and stay pissed for quite some time because I'm "wrong" and they hate what I have to say about things :/
-sigh-
I don't know, I'm just rambling now I guess xD;

I do back down after awhile, when I see it's just a pointless "discussion" -- I just basically say "Do what you want, you know my thoughts on it, I'm not getting into it any more with you. Agree to disagree." and half the time it ends it -- but the worst part is 99% of the time I'm right and it turns out just how I said. Do they ever admit they were wrong? NOPE. They just start telling me how this and this happened and it's all that's in me not to say "I told you so. Why didn't you listen to me 2 months ago when I told you that!" or something to that effect, ya know?
I go through that with one of my friends all the time. I'm very perceptive and listen in when no one thinks I'm paying attention in certain cases. Like when they're talking about my friends and whether they're into them or not~ (dating-wise)
I don't really get into it at first -- 'cause honestly I don't care which way or the other lol
But when they start playing the games with him and flirting like they like him when they really have no interest in him, it pisses me off and I say something. Then of course he doesn't listen to me because of her actions, so I talk to her about knocking it off and telling the truth, she says "Yeah, you're right, I'll tell him." -- weeks go by and she finally tells him she doesn't want a boyfriend -- then a few weeks after that she's dating some other guy~
It happens over and over again, he never learns, he never listens to me, I'm left dealing with it in the end.
It's like, I can't -not- say anything, but at the same time, it's pointless for me to say anything, so why bother?
It's honestly getting to be like that with a lot of people I know and it really gets on my nerves :(
Honestly, it's to the point where I'm just going to not say anything to anyone and just let them figure it out on their own even though I know the truth about a lot of ti. 'cause in reality, my saying anything doesn't do anything, and it just pisses them off :/
But the thing is? When it happens and they find out I knew? They get pissed at me anyways!

I swear... you just can't win in today's society...
I hate it :/

The crazy thing is?
I've gotten so sick of it here in the town I live in?
I'm legit considering moving. Or at least going to a different college way away from here 'cause I just can't deal with it anymore. It's always so negative around here, and it's just... ugh. Ya know?

And I think I rambled again o.O;
Tell me to stop talking about it at any time 'cause now you're hearing about multiple situations as to why I think I should just start keeping my mouth shut, but at the same time can't XD;;

And that's fine lol
I went off to town to do a bit of shopping for a dessert I'm making and to get stuff for packing :3


BTW Darlin -- I'm feeling okay now :)
So you don't have to respond to this sea of text if you don't want to XD;
Probably not very coherent anyways LOL
[/hasn't slept in over 24 hrs]

Hihi SimpSimp <3
What's up?

...That is a LOT of writing, OMG Emma! XDD <3

And heyhey, <3
Hows Emma today? ^^

Yeahh - had a mini vent session 'cause I had a -very- rough morning XD;;

Emmie is okay -- better than earlier~
Thinking about colleges away from this area though :/
As in, transferring to an art specialty school lol
Possibly even online ^_^;;
I'm just weighing my options because my college is seriously doing nothing for me because I'm a year behind on my major, I'm taking stupid courses that I have no use for what so ever, etc.~
I'm seriously considering transferring after next semester :3

How's SimpSimp? <3 :glomp:

Ahhh, what's your college doing? D: How are you a year behind? ; ^;
I hope your day improves though, just don't let it stress you out too much. <3

Eh, I'm good I spose'. Being a bum, since I don't want to do anything before work. -___-;
I only have 2 days off this week, I might as well be working full time with weekends off, lmao. But I don't. ; ^;

They won't let me into any art courses but art history -- I tried getting into art courses last semester, no luck. This semester? Again, no luck. They're being given to sophomores and juniors who are only taking it for the diversity requirement, not for a major or minor :/
It pisses me off. Plus, their over all system just sucks ass :( </3

So since I have 1 year of no art courses (other than one art history course this semester), I'm a year behind on my Fine Arts major :( </3

Hahahaha
Being a bum is ok though!
Emmie's been busy today and wishes SHE could be a bum right now :( </3

Awww :( </3
How come so much work this week as opposed to other weeks?

Well, that's lame. >; My college is like that too... I had to get my classes on the last day, since I'm a freshman AND my last name is farther back in the alphabet. I had to wake up at 6 am the day I could choose classes, JUST so I could get the ones I'd selected the night before, that were open, and not many were. It sucked. So now I have all early classes, but I had to take what I could get. -____-;
I'm sure if you get other classes out of the way you need though, you'll be okay? I've yet to take anything pertaining to my major, but then again, you have to have so many other classes before you can take the higher leveled ones, so I'll just sit and wait. One of my friends (who I met in a class, and is a junior I believe) says they rotate between starting and ending in the alphabet, so at the end of this semester and such/next semester I should be okay getting some of my classes. :'3 I hope.

Awehh, why can't Emma be a bum too? D8

And Idk really, lol. This is actually how it was for the longest time, during school and such. I'd always have two days off a week and work the other five. It was really weird during break, having so many days off. :XD

Well, I'm majoring in Fine Arts and minoring in Education -- and I only have so many years to get the degree I want ^_^;;
After so many years, my military scholarships leave and I have to come up with that $20k (or roughly that much) money in loans, which is something I don't want to do ^_^;;
I think I might be able to weasel my way into an art class, though, so transferring might not happen lol
I can't do online, because Fine Arts can't be done online like we had thought..
(the college had it linked in the wrong dang section >.>)
Only Graphics :/
Sooo I have to go to a regular college lol
Butttt - if I can get the courses, it won't be so bad, I guess ^_^;;
I still hate my college though xD;
But it'll be like a job. It'll be like I'm being paid for a job I can't stand for 5 years of my life :3
Just gotta think of it that way and get through it XD;

Because Emmie had to go to town to get ingredients for her dessert she's making, then she had to talk with her Mommy about her future, and now she has to finish packing T_T </3

Ohhh lol
That's funny~
I only worked like, 3 days a week during the semester, possibly 4~
But they were long shifts and we can only work 15 hours max a week LOL
[/employed by college library]

@ Shannie : I'm sorry I don't chat in your threads nowadays! ;o; </3 I haven't been chatting much in general, so I only have time for my respective threads. >.<;; I promise to drop by your threads once I find more time though! :x <3<3

And yup, I love layering. And commons. Haha. xDD;;


@ Emmie : You know, the case of your friends sounds like the case of another person here on Mene. xDD;; I'm not sure if I can say who it is exactly, but you two would probably have a lot to talk about best friends who won't listen, haha. XP

Yeah, it's really a hard dilemma. For people like that, they need one of those OMGREALIZATION moments to finally get some sense knocked back at them. But that's up to them; no matter how right you are, they have to be the ones to come to that realization. Judging by your post, it seems your friend is a long way away from reaching that conclusion, so I think you should just continue to "support" him and be a friend? He may not be listening to you now, but if you continue on with it the seeds will be planted in his head soon enough. It's a loonngg process, and it's no fun and games. But as a secondary party to their actions, you really just can't go barging in and dictating what they should do and what is wrong with what they're doing and expect them to comply.

Lolz, I don't mind listening. I can't relate 100%, but I do see where you're coming from and I've had similar things happen in the past. But moving? :x Has this been going on long enough for you to even consider this big step? =O

Btw, I only read the part about not replying after I typed stuff out, LOLZ. So, it will stay there. xDD;; Anyhows, I'm glad you're feeling better though. :'> <3<3

Lolz, don't worry about it RyeRye, tis no big deal. c: <3
I'mma be busy in the next week with college starting back up again, and work on top of it, so I'm sure my chatting will go down as well, until the weekend comes about. :sweat:
I dread going back. D:

Aww! :x So this is going to be your second year then? =O Or still your first, but the second semester of your first year? Good luck either way though! I know how much of a bitch school can be. x_x;;

Second semester of my first year. o.e
I was gonna go get books today, but eh, it snowed...and roads look icky. D:

I do support him -- I'm the only other person he trusts with this besides a cousin he's really close to~
I'm like his "go to girl" for everything, so to speak lol
He doesn't get pissed at me too much -- annoyed that I'm always right, but he doesn't get too pissed lol
He knows I'll be honest with him and it's a mutual honest relationship we have -- we don't hide anything and we flat out say it to each others' face -- especially anything we hear other people saying behind our backs but not to our faces -- like in the example of that one girl who I spoke to in the car after a few weeks of her doing the stuff. About a week later after she hadn't said anything, I told him the truth about it straight out~
Funny thing is, he already suspected it but was hoping to change her mind xD;

It's not that I barge in, it's just that when I see them abusing things and hurting people for so long, enough is just enough and someone needs to say something to their face instead of just behind their back. I'm not one to just talk about it behind their back, I'm the only one who'll just say it to their face flat out and try to end it. I kind of have a short temper when I see people being hurt over and over again, watching people stand by and do nothing, and then hearing those same people talk about it as soon as certain people leave hearing distance lol
I'm just the only one "brave" enough out of my group of old friends (90% of which I've quit talking to because they're just not growing up and they're acting so dramatic and immature all the time) who would say anything to someone's face and try to put an end to it lol
I think that's one of the main reasons why everyone gets pissed off at me, 'cause I'm the one who will flat out say it and not just watch it continuously from the side-lines ^_^;;

And yeah, I know they won't comply -- that's the frustrating part -- the fact that they need that "OMG" realization moment to finally figure it out and follow my advice~
I mean, it's like I go in and say "Do this." -- I try to talk to them about it and suggest stuff :P
Like, in that above situation -- I talked to her about what she was doing and advised her to tell him, not getting his hopes up, stop pulling him around, and stop hurting him 'cause the longer she did what she was doing, the harder he was going to fall and get hurt. She was leaving for college in a couple of weeks, she would leave and just move on like nothing happened. He wouldn't and those of us left behind would have to pick the pieces up, ya know?
It was out of concern for him, 'cause I've seen him get hurt lots of times, that I even said anything. That, and my nature just won't let me -not- say anything when I see that happening XD;
If I don't, I feel like shit for standing by and just watching it all go down~

LOL
Umm, I've been dealing with this sort of thing since the 7th grade, probably even the 5th grade~
I'm now 19 :P
Yeah, this town is just crap and I honestly can't wait to move away from here. My college is even ridiculous~
But, if I can get into my major courses, then It wouldn't be so bad and I could stick it out. But the thing is, I can't get into my major's courses so I'm a year behind on my major :/

Hahaha no worries :3
Yeahh, after a longgggg cry and some sleep, I felt a little better XD



@SIMP: Hahaha -- I have to go get my books too -- but I don't feel like driving on the roads either :( </3
They're horrible :(

Could I get the black heartface fox for 1,750 pwease?

@ happydeath : Sure~! :'D <3<3 I will be sending the trade to you through my mule Serenade then. ^^ Thank you very much for buying now! :'>


@ Shannie : Aww! :x Were the roads as bad today then? >.<;; </3

@ Emmie : Wait, change her mind...? o_o;; I'm now a little lost here, haha. ^^;;

I see~ =O Well, that is indeed brave of you then. :x Admittedly though, I think that flat out telling people sometimes isn't the right way to go in some similar situations. Then again, it's on a case-by-case basis depending on what's going on and who you're talking to, so I guess it's not my place to say anything on this, haha. XP

What happened in the end then? Did she end up telling him that she wanted to end it then? =O

Why can't you get into your majors courses btw? :x

Aww. D:
*hugglesquishes muchly again*
