Ottersaurus: Oh no I think that would be the worst thing ever, I am determined to max out in nearly every post and am loving the gold boost it gives me, i've never earnt this much this quickly on my own, I feel pretty proud of myself :D We're just supreme ramblers we are.
Yeah I guess but it would be nice if there were some more, it seems the numbers of the good is dwindling instead of thriving, sometimes I think there should be some more severe consequence for those that do bad and that some how they would then be forced in to goodness, but then again you can't change who you are...so that wouldn't work...it's just such a shame really.
Yeah that was it! I did try looking back up and reading through previous posts but I just couldn't connect it all! Silly me! *facepalm*
Yeah I'm much more of a vender than and exchanger the exchange died 2 years back, there's no point of going in there any more in my opinion. The people in there want the same price as the marketplace so I may as well go to the marketplace and skip the forum all together which I think is a huge shame. I think you've got the terms confused, exchanging is what I think your friends are doing vending is buying from the market place and selling in the marketplace. Yeah gaia completely sold out and seriously lost my interest, I only go on there from time to time now. I don't think that will happen to mene though I do think the prices on mene will deteriorate I think that they won't sell out they really do care about their users and always seem to listen. Yeah I enjoy talking to people like you too, but it's also nice to get that little bonus for your efforts. I'm not money hungry so to say I just like watching it build.
Yeah it's a shame that people see it as more of a crime to be yourself than not to be yourself.... Yeah I know it is but sometimes the pressure is to great and people just conform.

Supreme ramblers? I quite like that title.
I suppose so... I kind of appreciate how fucked up the world is though. The constant power struggle is something I admire, even in silly things... I'm a little bit more dark minded than I usually let on to people. I think... I really do like in the end all the things about the world. The good, the bad... I take it all in stride and each little thing only fuels me more to move forward. I'm not sure how to explain it... But the good and bad things in the world are invigorating, and they couldn't exist without each other. I believe that one should learn to have a balance between the both, and have an appreciation for both sides of oneself. Everyone should look within themselves and learn to accept and embrace all the sides of their personality. Work towards what makes you better, and appreciate the flaws you have instead of constantly striving to be perfect...
I don't really know. I don't do it. My friends call it vending, but they aren't involved with the marketplace. XD I really don't know though. I've never been involved in it and don't plan to be. I still get on Gaia to dress up my avatar from time to time, because all the things I have I've earned over the time I've been there. I feel like it would be stupid of me to just abandon everything, so I stick around. All my items put together are worth quite a lot on there, and I've worked hard to get them. It's just a shame that they seem to have forgotten over there what it means to have a community. I'm not really sure... It just makes me sad. Oh and I completely understand. XD I love to watch my gold pile up while I talk to people. And given the choice between PMs and forum, I'd rather talk on the forum so I could earn gold for it.
It is a shame. And it's not so much that conforming is bad, but what that seems to entail these days is going completely out of your comfort zone to do things that you wouldn't ordinarily do. And that is bad. What normal is in some places is really quite terrifying.

Ottersaurus: I think the words 'supreme ramblers welcome' should very much be put in to the thread title or some where in the first post, it really captures the way things currently are in the thread haha! :D *highfives*
Yeah I know, make the most with what you've got, but still there's that little voice in the back of ones head that whispers for you to go further push harder etc. And sometime I find I spread myself thin because I want to please everybody, I guess either that or my strong willed temper are my greatest flaws, what do you feel is yours, if you feel like sharing.
And yes that is an interesting theory on the world I guess with out the bad driving us foreward in to the light we would all fall by the way side, theres got to be something to push you foreward, to encourage you in life so I guess you could say that the bad does have it's place in society. Ah yes the whole idea of yin and yang, and that they only exsist because the other does and to much of either one is a bad thing. I do agree in your philosophy yes.
Yeah its a nice thing to get gold it's like mene saying 'thank you for bringing great conversation to mene at last' bwahaha! And yeah i'm rich on gaia too, it;s a shame there is a conversion system in which you can bring you gold over form gaia to mene some how, that'd be super useful. xD
Yeah conformity has it's place amongst things such as the work place school or the army but in your free time your personality should not be suppressed and in my opinion to suppress someone else is the worst crime out there, everyone should have the opportunity to spread their wings so to speak.

Haha, maybe! It might scare off other people who don't like to post as much though, and I don't want that...
Mine? That would be my cruelty. I can be horrible when I want to. I can rip people apart from the very foundations of their being and leave them crying in the fetal position because I've exposed them for the garbage that they are. That being said, I choose not to be that way, because I don't really like to hurt people. But I've realized pretty recently in fact, that it isn't something I should hide or be ashamed of. Regardless of how terrible it may be, it's part of me and denying it would be to deny part of myself. I struggled with it for a long time, because I was afraid of becoming that way again and sabotaging all the wonderful relationships I have with people around me. But I realized, that I don't have to be that way and it's not something that should scare me, because I've got people around me who love me for everything that I am; even when I'm at my worst.
Yin and Yang makes sense, frankly. If all the bad was gone from the world, what would define what is "good"? Would only good be left, or would some part of "good" have to change and become "bad"? Without a balance, eventually one party would eradicate itself and be torn apart. "Good" can always find evil somewhere, even in something that appears pure. Something can always be considered wrong, and eventually, things would collapse upon themselves.
Haha, I'm not really sure I'd want that. Talk about a way to screw up the market in an instant! Gaia can just stay where it is and have absolutely nothing to do with Menewsha in my opinion. I like both sites for completely different reasons and I don't think I would ever want one or the other to really be involved with the other.
Absolutely right. You should never hide who you truly are from the world, because it will only eat at you in the end. I really just wish more people would see that.

Ottersaurus: Haha yeah that might be so, I don't think it will be the case, in my own thread I've attracted people because I have put the word ramble in my title, but horses of courses I guess. Damn thats such a random phrase.
Omg, I'm typing in too many threads at once i'm getting pinged everywhere and I have a backlog of places to post. And I want to finish my book and my friend will be calling me soon! Haha brain over load!
I have a friend who can be really cruel, she ripped my heart out a trampled on it and I don't think she realises just how much it hurt me. But being the martyr I am I never complain. Yes, those that revel in hurting others I feel should not walk this earth, i'm glad you realise that you don't want to be that kind of person. Don't get me wrong a dose of cruelty can be just what people need sometimes for a proverbial kick up the ass, but on the whole I think there are far more constructive ways to handle things.
Yes it does doesn't it. Good can be found any where even in the bad and it is those that can find good in it's filthiest form and show it to others that a true hero's. I think the world nowerdays is fixated with the bad I don't know if you've noticed just how few good things are on the new or in the papers simply because they don't sell as well as the bad. I think we have a fixation with the bad in life that needs to be shaken off especially with the way things are in the economy that is bring people down, we need to all just stop for a moment and look at our lives and think about the good.
I just seem mene as gaia mark 2. They have noticed gaia's failing and have made sure they don't fall in to the same traps which I think is wonderful.
I must admit though, often I do hide who I am, simply because if born the brunt of being different for many years, but I am slowly starting to come out of my shell though as I meet much more mature people who accept me for who I am.

XD Sounds like you might need to get off the computer and just relax for a while.
There are indeed. It's not fun to be stuck in that state of cruelty either. After being in that place for so long, I simply refuse to believe that anyone enjoys it. I mean, I'll admit it was fun to show people for what they really were, but the whole existence is very lonely. I can't imagine anyone would want to be alone in the world just for the sake of ripping a few people apart. It really isn't that entertaining, and I think loneliness is the worst form of torture... More people need to learn though, like you said, that there are more constructive ways to go about things.
That would be wonderful, really. Just once I'd like to turn on the news to hear a heartwarming story about a lost puppy who was returned to his elderly owner. Or something about how beautifully the wildflowers are growing on the mountain side. This morning I got to hear about some man who held a woman hostage in an inn. It's why I don't normally watch the news anymore. I like to look at each day like a brand new miracle waiting to happen.
Yes I think it's wonderful too. Learning from one another's mistakes is very important. I think Mene is and will be very successful because of this understanding.
^-^ I'm glad you feel that you can come out of hiding. It's not really that bad out here with the rest of us freaks~ Mostly you just have to think about how every single person has something that they do that they feel the need to hide, even if it's something perfectly normal to other people. Not to say that everyone is lying about who they are, but I don't know a single person who doesn't have something to hide; even if they don't think they do.

Ottersaurus: No I must not! I must type faster! Never give up! Never surrender! And one of these days i'll actually find out where that phase comes from.
Yeah i would imagine they're is something animalistically pleasurable about shooting someone down in flames. I guess it is that release of moral for a moment being truly free of what you can and cannot say that some find tempting. I guess it brings a sense of liberation. I guess it all depends on your sense of characters especially when that person knows the person they are destroying is the kind of person that will keep coming back because they are the kind that tries their best to cling on to the goodness they have seen within that person....I know....because sadly that is the kind of person I am and there have been plenty of people to use and manipulate that character of mine.
Yeah I know, but unfortunately thats not what sells and in the consumerist world we now live in that is all that matters...Yeah I sometimes watch the new but there is so much discontent and destruction that it really brings you down. There is one show I like though it's made by one of my favourite commedians and he takes the mick out of some of the stupid news stories but at the end of every episode he shows something good, maybe a new story on an inspiring person or the work of a charity or something, it's a really lovely way to end a show.
Yeah, but who knows what lies ahead i'm just going to make the most of the site.
Haha yeah, it's so rare though to find people like yourself who are different from the crowd, so for now I still only show my true self to a select few, but a few it better than nothing at all right?

sweet_serender159: Oh? why hot? is there a heatwave where you are or something? it's cold and rainy here. :( I want the sun to come out, it makes things seem so much happier!
Yeah I hope you realise i'm the queen of the ping, bwahaha!
Sooo what are your interests lovely, do you like to read? Write? Draw? Or something completely else. I always find asking someone their interests to be the best way in to a conversation.

Eastriel: Oh gosh it sounds so familiar too! That's going to drive me bonkers not knowing where it's from!
I never really went after good people. Mostly hypocrites who were lying to themselves and the world about who they were. I enjoyed picking them apart and revealing them for what they really were. I'm not really sure why, as I've never cared to look in to it too much. I know some people do like to pick on those who keep coming back for more, and that's really unfortunate. Good people should never have to suffer.
Oh that does sound quite lovely. I wish my local television program had something like that. I think it would be a very nice change from all the hateful drama they blast at us.
A few is definitely better than nothing. c: Just gotta remember, for all the people out there who might want to hurt you, there is at least one person who will accept you for exactly who you are.
sweet_serender159: I'm LOVING that new avatar. <3 It looks gorgeous!

Ottersaurus: Bwahaha I worked out where it is from, it's from Galaxy quest, god I love that movie! :D
Yeah I guess sometimes people need a reality check often in the harshest of forms. Unfortunately it usually is the good people who suffer the bad people normally never get whats coming to them, at least not until far far down the line, which is really annoying.
Yeah sometimes our local news feature a fun or whimsical story but that is normally when theres not much going on that day and they have a hole to fill, it's a shame things have to be done that way....but as I said bad news sells, good news doesn't.
Yeah hopefully, though sometimes it can seem like the world is just against me constantly, it's hard to keep positive in those times but I try my best.
Hmmm I just got a new pack of mechnical pencils, I feel like drawing and then painting, strangely I feel like painting a picture of my shoes.....how odd, though I guess it could be pretty funky....
I also want to write something in my new project thought! Ack! So many urges but I don't know what to bend to. D: Oh noooo!
Hmm what are you up to today any nice plans? Todays been really long for me, lots of meaningless things to get done, I did buy my self and awesome denim shirt though for just a pound, and I saw some heels I feel in love with but my mum wouldn't let me buy them because they were too high xD

D: Bahh I don't think I ever even saw that! Where did I hear it from then...
Yes... I think that was the reasoning behind my exposing people. I got tired of seeing all the good people in the world suffer needlessly and all these horrible people just getting away with murder pretty much.
It's really sad that that's how things are, but you are right. Bad news gets more views than good news.
Just keep trying! Things always get better, even if they have to get worse first.
You should most definitely paint your shoes. That sounds fantastic, really. <3
Oh I don't really have anything planned... I've got some work to finish up this morning and then I'll be free for a while. I'm hoping that freedom lasts. I guess I do have to get ready for my trip and pack my bags. c: I'm going to visit some people for about a month come the 19th.

Eastriel: I'm very sorry but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to be around for a little bit here! ^^; I have limited internet connectivity and more things to do than I'd have thought. I'll try to pop in at least once a day if I can, but otherwise maybe you and sweet_serender159 could find something fun to talk about!
I'm going to miss hanging out with you guys while I'm all busy like this. :C It seems like the older I get the more nonsense I have to take care of.
Umm... Fun topic! Is there something that either of you are very excited about?? Like plans for the future, something going on right now, etc. I'm curious!
