Felt as in felt cloth I guess, Zira :)
I don't understand the sign name but I'm happy that you are happy~

They are - but mom will never agree, so I've given up asking. I can always go with her to work, and use the wifi there. With my parents, they don't have any wifi needing devices, they only have their desktop computer and my brother and I aren't home very much anymore as we both live far from home when going to school. So yeah. At least I have wifi here.

Yeah, but I do sewn felt, not needle felt though. I can find some of my pieces I've done. I've got quite a few that I've done - Here are the two octopuses that I've made. :) Just two of many that I've done. :) Well those are the only two octopuses, but I've made a bunch of other felt creatures. :) Those two took me 9 hours (the red one) and 5 hours (for the rainbow one).

Haha, yes! Exactly!

Lex: This will help explain the sign name. :) ^_^ It's part of American Deaf Culture, I don't know how they play into other countries and their deaf culture as well.

You up now, Lex?

Cloud: Yeah, some fights arent' worth it. Not if you don't live there the majority of the year.

Those octopi are darling. I wanna mess their tiny little tentacles. Touchtouchtouch

I just caught up talking to my little cousins at my grandma's place back home now :) but I'll have to go offline soon, have some work to do~
And thank you for the article, I'll be checking up when I get the time ~

Zira: They really aren't. I make do without my laptop unless I'm somewhere with wifi when I'm at home. It's ok. I just know I love having wifi at school.

Thanks!! Those tentacles took me the longest time out of all of it - each of them has 6 seed beads and 6 sequins. I rather dislike seed beads. They're a pain to work with -even if they do help things work out how they should. Haha! The red one's name is Rosey. And the rainbow one - I've not figured out a name for her that I like so she's still nameless - and when I get home, I need to re-attach a sequin and seed bead as one has come off.

Lex: Did you have fun at least? :) And you're welcome! :)

I should probably get going soon myself - it's almost 12:30 am, and I am starting to really zone out.

You go sleep, Cloud! It was fun talking. I should be sleeping soon, too. Two thirty, here.

And yeah, those seed beads are stupidly hard to work with. I'm impressed.

Lex, but you're here for the moment, at least! Do you like my avy? I think I got it how I want it. The skirt fitting in better than bloomers.

It is always fun to hang out with little people~
I can't view those images now too D: limited connection. And do go to bed! Good night!

Zira, I may not be the best person to ask for avatar advise, but you look good! Check out BSW's thread at avatar chat - she is always willing to help! Shall I ping you to some places where you can get some advice?

Zira: Sleep does sound good. And I think the only reason I put up with the seed beads is because I knew it would actually work out well and help me out in the long run, even though I was cursing at them the whole time.

Lex: Darn! I can try to find another way of showing them to you later.

Sleep well Zira when you get there, and have a good rest of your afternoon Lex! :) ((See I didn't mess up the time again this time. ))

Ping me, and I'll get to it in a few hours. I am honestly falling asleep now. I'm gonna finish up what I'm working on offsite, then to bed with me. I'm really tired, since I woke up from pain.

You have a good day, Lex. (I keep wanting to add an 'i' to that; i.e. Lexi)

And you sleep well, Cloud. I'mm off. Nini

Feel free to call me Lexi, Zira XD I'm known as lex, Lexi, Lexie, lexa, lexaxa. Feel free to add any variation you want
I'll simply ping you and you can check then when you want :)
I'll probably be able to see them tomorrow :)
And good night both of you!

Cloud....like I said, I'd never heard of high sensitivity but doing that self-test and seeing that based on that I do fit in the high sensitive person category has provided with an explanation for why people have always considered me the weird one...and this is no matter what group of people I find myself in and how much the others seem to have in common with me at first appearances.

I will confess to not reading many in between posts after my last post in this thread before this one...too many pages...clearly catch up reading for me to keep up with discussion...

I just hope you're feeling better after having a breakdown...it happens and I think for highly sensitive persons it is more often because we/they notice their surroundings more than others and often do need to retreat to quiet for peace....at least that's what I've found for myself.

I often like being alone in a peaceful quiet place just because being in a classroom or room full of people can be chaotic and overwhelming because of it.

Morning! Hopefully today is the best day this week. *crosses fingers* This week has just been total crap.

Your day will be great, ia
Today has been a very very good day for me too~ I'm totally at peace.

I sure hope so. I need to get off my tushy and do some housework.

You can do it

Ling: Oh I know that it's because of that. No questions asked. And mmm, I'm still rather on edge as I did something last night that put me in an even worse environment, but I did have signing buddies so I didn't have to talk, so that kinda helped - not fully but somewhat.

YES! Someone who finally understands not liking being in a classroom full of people! I normally can handle my signing classes ok, but yesterday even those were just torture! It doesn't make it easier when I'm already on edge to begin with, and then it's just all those little noises - papers moving around, squeaks, people moving - that get to me, at least.

One thing that bothers me in general is that people don't seem to understand why I come home and don't want to socialize. One of my roommate's friends last night kept telling me "come out and it out here with us." But I really had no energy to even try to be sociable.

llonka: At least it's Friday.

Well I took a shower... now i'm making some ramen for kaleb. hopefully his tummy is good to him today and he can get through school.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that he'll feel good enough for school.

I wanna take a shower, but I can't get my henna wet yet. :( Soooo yeah. I'll have to wait a bit longer for my shower.

He was going to take treats for his birthday yesterday, but was throwing up again. Hopefully it's okay if we do it today instead.

I'm sure it will be ok. :) What does he want to bring?

We bought some cosmic brownies and apple juice boxes!

Okay i'm totally getting lost, so i'm parking my butt in here and if anyone wants to talk to me they have to find me here haha.

Those sound yummy!

*ties you down* No getting lost, that's not good! LOL!
Let the ninja people come find you! :D
And talk with you. Because you're awesome!

Yeah! I hope it goes okay. :)

haha. thanks Cloud.

okay... he decided he'd rather left over pizza. xD better not eat too much of it though cuz hubby wanted to take it to his dad's house. stupid huh? my dad bought all the pizza and cake and hubby takes it over to his dad's and they eat all of it. pisses me off because it's supposed to be for the boys and me. :/

Hope everybody is doing well

Hopefully it will! :)

You're welcome!

Can you ask your hubby to not take all of it, because it's not just for him, but it's for everyone? And if he gets upset tell him that it is nice to share and it isn't all for him. Sharing is caring. ;) ((I'm totally laughing at myself at the moment, by the way. xD))

Kirin: I'm doing ok. Hope you're doing well.

I should be writing a paper though that's due tonight. xD
