and my battery is totally low so I'm using audio to text please forgive any typos I wonder if I could pick myself cuz I really want to come back and read the wall of text it upsets me that people make you feel so bad you don't want to share things when I first came to many I sort of felt that way like them I didn't want to say anything because one of my first post a couple of people jumped all over me and told me just to go back to Gaia because that was in this kind of place and all I asked was where is the UFO game was or basically if we had one here and I think I stayed away for years after that because I felt so bad that somebody who didn't know me would be just like go back to where you came from because we don't want you here when you don't even know me and then there was the whole nobody like the way I colored my text or the phone that I use especially the font and then I centered everything and I was like I don't think this place is for me because I really can't make a post without it being centered I've changed because I've looked at my texts on my cell phone a lot lately and the centered text is really a pain in the butt to read so I've totally change that but it still bugs me to look at it on Center I guess it's like I don't know OCD and me or something but anyway I digress especially cuz I want to type it I just have to talk it I just wanted you to know that I love your hole humor Outlook the way you see things makes me happy all the time and I do wish that I had seen some of your art but I will totally stop bothering you about it honest because I know it's wonderful Just As You Are

Amane: THE STRUGGLE IS REAL, SISTER. This happens to me all the time. Art WON'T affect people the same way or make people feel the same way- I know this but I've still got to come to terms with it. Like, I know people won't get an emotional connect with the same thing. Or the same sort of emotional connect as me. Because we're different people and different lives. So we'll feel things differently. Of course. But sometimes it's LONELY. And sometimes I really just need someone to feel the same thing together with to kind of express what I feel, you know, let it out so I can move on.
And yeah, I'm not very critical either if something is well done. It's when it's really stupid, like the level of intelligence of a dirty-jokes-overload for example, that I'm able to be critical. I do realize it's a bit of a problem for me because I'm a humanities student and if I choose honours next year my major is going to be English; essentially I'm signing up for a career in critique.  It's also that often something is well done but still problematic. I especially hate when this happens in Kpop. Like I'm watching a girl group and I'm like, yeah okay they're totally heteronormatively sexualized and selling an unrealistic image for young girls etc. etc. I KNOW. BUT LIKE. Can't I just ignore it? I can still watch it and enjoy it and NOT BUY THE IMAGE, right? I can like the aesthetics and the dancing and music and not care about what's going on sociologically?
hummy: Aww  I'm sorry you were nommed as a newbie. Like just a nibble is no-harm-done normal but that was full out mean munching. You were new and would obviously have questions. And even if you weren't new, there's nothing wrong with having questions. You'd obviously ask in Gaian terms because that was the site you were familiar with then. They were obviously peeps who didn't think too deeply if they'd make automatic judgments about you just because you're from a certain website *sighs and rolls eyes at those past peeps* too much obvious.
I'm glad you did come back though because you're always a cheery, chirpy hummy bird and brighten our days at Mene

You're a very multi faceted gemstone Amane. I like that about you. Someone that interacts with you only during events would never think such a silly little thing would be capable of such amazing and well written walls. I feel happy to have inspired this in anyway and it brings up some interesting points.
OMG right Hummy! I remember defending you on Kinsaki from the same sort of thing. Some people expect entirely to much out of others. Like EXCUSE me if during the coarse of having a fun conversation I use the wrong THERE and use strange Canadian "slang words" like Colour. XD Back in the day those were hanging offenses on Mene.
Users would flog you in hopes staff would notice and make them mods. Staff would agree that "Well you should have been more literate." I think that attitude really hurt Menewsha. We could have retained a lot more Gaian Refugees that were quiting on mass after the store release of old items. Instead we saw the creations of baby sites (most of which are dead now)
Remember when we didn't even have a game forum because old staff were so uptight and afraid it would "degrade" into Gaia's chatterbox? Ye olde Neph' remembas. XD
~
I was just talking to someone this week about how Amane, Hummy, Dystopia and I used to go ham posting over one and another during events and driving other people "in more important conversations" crazy.  In those days I was like "Don't care here to make phat tokens, don't like my posts ignore them."
I got a few "Hey get outta mah cool people only thread" back in the day as well. And at the time it was from the same people claiming there were no such thing as Cliques on Mene. They said all you have to do is just chat like a "regular person" - When what they really meant was use university level grammar, spelling and vocabulary at all times while having "fun". This was long before I was staff too. hmm 2010 or 11ish? I didn't really post much aside from events or in other peoples exchange threads from 2009-2011.
Much like you guys I stuck around and made em' love me in the end.

Laveh, you've been fabulous. You've probably got a critical side like I was talking about, but I don't think I've seen it come out.

PREACH! *standing ovation*
I love how you called it "nommed as a newbie." That made me giggle.
With the way things are now, it's hard to imagine newbie nommin' happening here.

That's what they all say. There is a serious Amane, but she's usually hiding out in the woods so fun Amane doesn't call her a nerd and shove her into a locker.
It's nice to be fun Amane. It keeps me from attracting people who expect me to have strong, educated opinions about social and political issues. Even serious Amane doesn't have one of those. She'd rather learn about where each side is coming from than pick one herself. That's not why I started trying to be fun, but it's certainly a nice side effect.
YES. I live for that. Nothing like breaking up serious conversations with crying tears of joy over having bacon for dinner.

You mean your Loki x Horse fanfictions awaken powerful, deep emotions that color my life? That's EXACTLY why I typed that entire thing. I just wanted Nephi to feel special.
But if you're asking if I feel like your Loki x Horse thing taints my image of Loki and company, I don't follow the superhero stuff, so you're alright. I helped keep that joke alive, after all.

Thought you should know you used "coarse" where "course" was appropriate. And it's "en masse" and not "on masse". Just trying to be helpful. No need to thank me.

Well...I HAD a midsized wall of text typed out...but my tablet ate it and I'm just not up for trying to duplicate it...
Mostly, it said that I LOVE Amane's wall of text...and that I'm honored to be considered "One of the Gang," and that I am sad that Hummy was treated poorly when she first came here...and that I must have made about a dozen attempts to post a comment here in the past 2 days, but have been distracted, interrupted and detoured...
Now, before I could finish typing this post, Sarah has had a seizure..
She has them from time to time...but the timing of the arrival of this one is troubling only because, had I not chosen to post here, I may have been asleep and not heard her...since she was sleeping on her stomach and her sounds were muffled by her pillow.
She is fine...we go through a few seizures about every couple weeks...especially when the weather changes.
And, boy oh boy, did the weather chsnge today!! ...We went from 50 degrees and sunny to 9 degrees and snowing, in about 8 hours.
I think our low is supposed to be around negative 1 degree tonite, and we will see highs in the teens tomorrow.
...and that's the weather report from Denver, where there is easily 6 inches of powdery snow in our yard!

Of course you're "one of the gang," Inzanebraned! Also, don't think I've forgotten how you reached out to me when you were a newbie.
The weather has been so volatile, omg. We're supposed to go from single digit highs to thirty-something highs in the same week. There's a double-digit negative low somewhere in there, too. As a winter fan, I'm feelin' groovy about the whole situation. I forgot to look for snow on the forecast.

We got about 6 inches of snow last night...and the high temperature topped out at 8 degrees.
Tonite we are supposed to see minus 4 degrees for the low!
Hope got to go out and run through the snow...making her giggle and laugh...
But it wasn't until she came inside that she remembered she wanted to make a snow angel!
... maybe later...or tomorrow when the temperature won't threaten to freeze her fingertips off!
Sarah had 3 seizures since 4:20 this morning.
Her magic number seems to be 3 since she rarely has more than 3 seizures in 1 day...and, usually, if she has 1, she has 3.
She is fine..though somewhat exhausted...so she has been napping most of the day.
Sarah's brain didn't develop correctly due to lack of oxygen when she was born.
One hemisphere is much smaller than normal...So the phrase "I have half a mind to...." always reminds me of Sarah, because she really does have about half a mind! Lol!
I am tired! Interrupted sleep pattern tend to turn my brain to mush...making it difficult to form the right words and stay focused on my thoughts...
I hope I haven't been rambling on, boringly!
*yawns*
Oops! This tablet is about to die! I better go plug it in to charge!
*sends Amane some snow to make angels in*
