@Xuvvie - lol hummy calls you rettie XDDD

I have one name on here: Maria XDD Every now and then people will call me Mina but that's pretty rare. My real life name is Mary and it's often shortened to Mar....and my friend calls me Machuu. But most I'm just called Maria on here XDDD

@Melvin - Aw Zuzanna is a pretty name! Like a form of Susanna but cooler :D and Melvin is a cool name! My online name came from my real life name (Mary) and my love of Yu Yu Hakusho, an anime, when I was in middle school. I've been using this name online since 7th grade and I'm now 23 lmao XDD

I vaguely remember Hummymy uses a few of the variations...DX

Mar? XD lol. I just don't understand people why they want to shorten names? Elizabeth, I like the whole syllables, it is the combination of all 4 that makes is sounds nice... and people short it lizzie... remind me of lizard. x.x

@Xuvvie - the only people who call me Mar are my family and close friends. My fiance hates when people call me Mar...I actually love it <3 Since it's only people who are super close to me, I know they love me when they call me Mar :D

@Zuza - Oh hey! My last name is polish. My dad's father came over to USA from Poland. I'm adopted though...pretty sure I don't have polish blood actually in me (I don't actually know what I am) - but my last name is polish :D

lol - I joined this site when I was 18 I believe XD But to be honest, Mene has a lot of older members...a lot of college or just post college or even beyond that. I think tha'ts one of the reasons I love it - because I can have an intelligent conversation here!

... well, compare the pronunciation of mary, Maria and MAR.
Mary and maria have this gentle and softness, whereas, MAR, is like... MAR--. rather loud. x.x
I pay attention to both spelling and pronunciation. XD

Lol, then why your fiance hates it? Maybe he is just jealous that other people beat him to call your intimate name? XD

@Maria: I can imagine there's a lot of Polish names in USA. It's hard to find a family where no-one in the past two generations hasn't emigrated.

Woah. The first avatar site I joined was Gaia and that was awful, one couldn't really have a good conversation with all the spamming kids ._. it was rare to find any decent people to talk.

@Ette: awww, don't be sad :c

@Xuvvie - he just hates nicknames. XDD His entire family hates nicknames...the parents named the kids in hopes they wouldn't be able to be shortened into a nickname XD So when he hears people call me that he hates it XDDD I just love it <333 It does sound louder but I do love it XD

@Zuza - it IS hard to find people from Poland here. I'm a music teacher, this is my first year teaching. And the day before school started they had a meet the teacher thing where we had to stay in our classrooms so kids could come in and meet us. And this family RAN in and started talking in Polish. When I looked confused, they said, "Your last name is Polish...do you not speak Polish?" And I was like, "Nooooooooo I'm sorry" XDDD

oh man - it's hard to talk to ANYONE on gaia XDDD I don't go there to talk...only go on there occasionally to find some art of my characters XD

I am still on Gaia. XD Preying on items. XD
I think many people started with Gaia... I am wondering when is Gaia going to sink...

---------- Post added 03-03-2013 at 05:44 PM ----------

I think I will have this issue a lot too, Mariaria.

I will start talking in Chinese when I know the person in Mandarin, in few incidents, it turns out they understand Cantonese, but cannot understand Mandarin... and I was like... whaaa?

I just don't have friends on gaia and so I just bore easily over there XD

LOL - sometimes it's hard to tell what someone will know or not know. Especially since people are moving all over the place and here, at least, people have lineage traced to 10, 15 different countries. So people are losing that identity. I just say I'm American since I truly do NOT know my heritage. I was never told what I am because my birth parents did not give that information. I have red hair though...so everyone assumes I have Irish or Scottish in me XD

Most of my old gaia friends seemed to 'graduate' from Gaia to twitter, facebook and those social networks. XD And those are what I don't like. Anyway, I am pretty lonely there too.

Mariaria, at my place it is rare to see adopted person. I just don't seem to know people who are adopted. The people in my social ring are all with parents. And very rarely, single parent.

I guess that's a difference in where we live? I am grateful I'm adopted - don't know what would have happened if I wasn't...I would be a different person. My parents gave me up for a reason so I assume they would not have been able to take care of me. And luckily my mom chose me and wanted me and gave me what she could so I'm happy <333

I use facebook...that's about it. No tumblr, no twiter, not instagram, none of that stuff XD The sites I frequent most are menewsha, facebook, and deviantart. And pinterest...I get a lot of teaching ideas from pinterest so I use that too XD

@Maria: Oh my, what a story~ hey, a music teacher? That's soo cool C: I liked music classes most in my earlier years of studying, except that I had to sing..

I'm surprised Gaia hasn't sinked yet. The whole inflation thing is ridiculous.
But I managed to make some friends there. I lost contact with most of them, though.

haha yep! I love music so much <3 I knew, even when I was little, I was going to grow up and do something with music :D

Gaia's inflation is crazy D: But also some deflation of older items kills me too...went back after not being on there for a couple years and tried selling some items that used to be super valuable and are now considered cheap XD

Well I will be looking for a new one. THe admins here are just terrible.

They only pay me for four days a week...and say I have Tuesday off. But if they ever have to send me to professional development, inservice, or schedule one of my music programs...they ALWAYS schedule it on Tuesdays...and I don't get paid for it...which really irks me. Because I'm there for 8 - 12 hours a day on my supposed day off doing work for them and don't get paid >.<

Plus I get no support from them. I can't even use the teeny tiny music budget I have to purchase supplies for the musical I have to put on in April. They won't let me charge admission tickets to the musical even though they always did in the past. So how am I supposed to purchase anything to put on this musical? I can't paint a backdrop with no material to paint on, no paint brushes, and no paint. I can't make a set without materials. And I asked parents for help and I have ONE parent who contacted me. Luckily he is a set designer for movie sets and stages and is willing to build the biggest piece I need, a house, and DONATE it to the school. Without him, we'd be screwed...

Hello, people! I'm new here so I feel like I should introduce myself - I'm Zuza, but you can call me Melvin if you want.

@Maria: aww. I wish I knew what am I supposed to do in the future like that, haha! I love music as well, but singing and playing guitar didn't turn out well in my case, huh.
Yeah, that deflation thing happened to me too. I ended up giving everything away xD

I would go now but i don't have a car, the person who might give me a lift DOES but she's in church and won't answer her Cell phone. so im kind of STUCK waiting until they get home. it just means i don't eat anythign until i get the anti biotics and they do whatever their gonna do at hte ER.
