The text wall mania surprised me too. XD
What'd you do over the weekend? 8D (I think your sig said you went to the beach? XD)
Haha, I must agree with that opinion. XD
I remember having a discussion for Japanese history at 8am - really bad idea. I could barely remember anything from those discussion sessions, even while sleepily scribbling down notes. DX But then.. I've never done too well with history classes. Sure, the topics and details and such are pretty interesting, but sometimes sleep just takes over. >.<; Aside from usually getting to class like, five-fifteen minutes early and taking lots of notes in class (when I'm fully awake), I'm a pretty bad student as well. XD;;;
Mm.. I think last year there was a national holiday and a lot of my friends had a long weekend, but our school didn't give us the holiday off. I can't remember which holiday it was though. 8<;
Yeah, but.. it's kind of on and off questing, plus the inflation doesn't do much to motivate me anymore. I rely on art shops and B/C shops for quest funds, but that also depends on when I have the time to work on commissions and orders. o^o;;;
Hehe, thank you, RYRY~! X'3
At first, I just wrote my username/password down in a notebook I have laying around. I went back to look at it whenever I needed to sign in for something, but eventually, I'd just remember the combos, haha. I'm not the type to change my password weekly, or even monthly, so I just make complicated passwords that eventually become easy for me to remember. XD What with online payment for housing bills and tuition payments and school related registers and such, plus avi forums and emails, I have a lot of usernames/passwords/sites to keep track of, so to today I still use that same notebook to remember. XD
Haha, that'd be totally awesome if you were to find yourself in that position and manage to defy the curse of falling into a bottomless abyss with little to no chance of survival. XD
Haha, aren't the ceremonial stuffs pretty much the main point of having a formal one? XD Or would your preferred style of debut be something like semi-casual in formalities while requiring a formal dress code? XDD
Not yet, I leave tomorrow afternoon, pacific time. 8'3
I've been doing a loooot of reorganizing in my room though, so at least I can leave with the thought that I made some progress in summer cleaning. XD There are still a lot of stacks of stuff in the middle of the room though, since I was moving a lot of stuff around and emptying bookshelves and containers. XD;
Oh, it kinda takes a while to load, cuz there's a lot of stuff there. ( Also because I don't really know enough html knowledge to make.. the load time less? Like save files somewhere else and just the site as a means to load? If that makes sense? D8; )
For a free account, it says I have 100mb monthly bandwidth, and I've already almost used 7mb, just for setting it all up. >.<;
Otherwise, you might have tried to load it juuust as I was saving changes or something? XDD;
What web browser do you use? 8O
I went to our house in the mountains with my extended family (mom's side) for the weekend. :> We also went down to the beach nearby for one full day this weekend, and it was SOO awesome! =P I really did enjoy myself. 8DD;; <3<3
And hey, at least you make the effort to go to class early! =O I'm almost always just on time or a few minutes late, except of course when I have to be early, or if I feel like being early so that I can chat with my classmates. xDD;;
And yay for taking down notes! =P I do that as well, actually. ^^;; I think that because of my notes, I can afford to sleep in class, because my style of learning relies heavily on what notes I take. ^^;; I dunno, I just remember things easier when I've written them down or something. 8DD;; Probably also because I'm so meticulous and OC with my notes, but, I dunno? And whenever I DO fall asleep and am unable to take down notes (which happens more often than it should... >.>), I just borrow my classmates' notes. Since I'm open to lending my own notes to people, they never object when I have to borrow notes from them in return (just so they can xerox/photocopy/copy my notes themselves). xDD;; <3<3
And your school didn't give you that holiday?! =O That's sad. ;_; I hate it when other schools have holidays, and then our school doesn't declare it a holiday and we're the only ones IN class at the moment. @[email protected];; </3
And lolz! Artsies really help when questing, I think. xDD;; I for one know that it's helped me a lot in terms of questing. 8DD;;
And no problem, Rannie! :'D <3<3
And oohh, good idea! =O I tried that before, but then my brother also started getting into avatar communities and other games at the time, and I didn't want my password lying around for him to see. xDD;; It was the same with him anyway, so, I eventually grew out of the habit of writing down my username and password. ^^;;
And yes, that'd be very awesome indeed. =P And then I can have bragging rights or something, LOLZ. xDD;; But ahh, that's only gonna happen in my wildest dreams... ^^;; <3<3
And haha, I guess so? xDD;; And oohh, that'd be lovely. =P The ceremonies bore me when they stretch out for too long. Usually they don't bother me TOO much though. xDD;;
And oohh, okies then. :> Hope you have a safe flight then! =O <3<3
Yay for reorganization though! xDD;; That's awesome. =P Good luck finishing all that when you get back then! ^^
And it just loaded for me, so, yay! 8DD;; Rannie, you're definitely awesome for doing this. =P Mind if I share it to people though? xDD;; Since I noticed that you haven't made a thread announcing it yet. ^^;; <3<3
Ahh, that sounds really awesome~ ^O^
Haha, I usually go early because I'm paranoid about being late to class, even if it's a class that doesn't usually care about it much. I have a big fear about being late, I think it's just my personality, heh. >^>; But another reason is just that being early guarantees a seat that I would actually prefer (on the very side edge in lecture halls), so I don't have to squish in front of people who've already sat down to get there. XDD
Nah, I'm the same way with note-taking. And if the professor doesn't talk too fast, I usually try to get everything down. It really helps when it comes time to study for midterms and final exams. XD Strangely, I don't really do too well with study groups, they just.. kind of don't work for me and it feels like I never have much to offer, so I have to rely on my own notes. XD;
Yeah, it sucked because my friends wanted to hang out and such, but I still had classes. >^<
They do~! X'DD Especially with art contests, haha~ I guess it's kind of greedy in a way, but sometimes (if not for interest in the art contest theme) I tend to look at the competition before I enter, to see how likely I'd be able to win something, anything in the end. >o>; That doesn't happen so much now though, since I usually don't go looking for art contests anymore (from being busy with other stuff), but occasionally I'll find one that seems interesting or has characters that look like they'd be fun to draw. 83
Aww, that sucks. XD;; I'm glad my sister doesn't get as into them as I do, haha. XD
She saw me playing fishing on Gaia once, way back when haha, and wanted to join. Now she just goes on whenever she happens to remember, or just uses my account when she sees me doing something that looks fun. XD (Like the aquarium game, haha~)
Do you have anything where you can keep the usernames/passwords physically locked away from him? XD;
Haha, bragging rights would almost become a must then~ X'D
Hrm, what is usually included as the ceremonial part in formal debuts? 8O
Thanks~ I'll let you know when I land, since by then I'd be closer to your timezone, yeah? X'D Except I'm not sure when I'd be landing, probably around 10 or 11 at night, haha.
Thanks~ X3
I didn't realize how hard it'd be to tackle my three bookshelves 'til last night/this morning. XD;
Hehe, thanks~ And yeah, sure. 8'D
I hadn't made a thread yet cuz I'm not 100% done with adding the items, heh. So I'm just attracting a small number of people through my sig. XD And I'm still not sure if I should put all the items (of each gender) on just two pages instead of five like now. But I know that with each shop update, there's usually a whooole bunch of items to be added, and I don't want the pages to get way much longer than they already are. XD;
I did ask him to come over...
he said he's been out alday and doesn't want to go out again T_T
ohhh any plans for the future with him...or do you try not to think that far ahead of time?
I hate those kinds of guys. DX If someone tells you to come over, you should. At least to see you.
No, I do not look ahead of the future. He knows what I want, not getting married, not having kids, but everything else is alright. I just think about that moment with him, which all it matters to me.

That is interesting place to go. Why you going there? Oh, where are you from, just want to know. :D
Oh, I see. I guess you take care of yourself. But, I guess you lose your appetite. I wish I could do that. I have been eating a lot lately and cannot stop.
But, I am going to be working out to cut down my weight. Hopefully I will go back to the weight I was.
When I go to the beach, I'm usually reading a book or walking around picking up seashells, or just taking pictures of stuff. 83
Heh~ XD
Aww. XD;
Since I've never really owned either, I don't know if I'm more of a dog person or more of a cat person. Cats would probably suit my personality, but I love border collies~ X'3
Haha, I was looking around today and found my high school math tests, and some high school vocab books. XD
At my elementary school, from fourth grade through eighth, there'd be a class trip once a year. Except for the fourth grade trip, I bought a sweatshirt from each and have kept them to this day. X'D
Cleo? What's that magazine for? 8O
Haha, what series is it? XD
Wow! I've never finished reading the Goosebumps books, but I know there are a lot of them, haha. How many do you have so far and how many are there total? XD
Thank you~ I accidentally turned my alarm off instead of turning it on and slept for something like 15 hours. >O>; And my gold count appreciates the nice textwall you left very much~ X'DD
ohh when you were little did you like me used to make seashell jewelery? or was it just something I did.
I'm a rabbit girl, nothing can deter me away from them...even my boyfriend finds it hard to keep my attention when my rabbits are in the same room...
they're just so cute and adorabuble.
ohh xD I can't remember any of my music classes...although I remember there was a teacher that the whole school called miss. Tarenpsycho...her actual name was miss. Tarensanko but as the nick-name suggests she was psycho...just like one of my art teachers.
Ohh really...I wish I did something like that with my years at school, I more or less chose not to go on all the school trips...didn't exactly want to spend a whole week with people that would tease me...i wasn't exactly popular.
cleo...its like a teen/early woman magazine...found them more amusing then the other magazines the girls used to collect.
and its the stravante series.
ahh and the goosebumps bookes I have like 60 if not more of them...and I'm not sure how many there are...
I think mum sold some of them in a garage sale...
can't trust those mothers with cleaning up your bedroom, while your at school.
ohh you over slept...well thats a good thing, it mean you caught up on a well needed sleep, and my gold count loves reading and replying to wall texts...half the time I don't know what to talk about though and I start to think that I begin to ramble...which often is the case. xD
Sakura - I'm from Cali, XD but my parents are from Taiwan, haha. My mom lives here now, with my sister and I, but my dad comes over from Taiwan from time to time. He stays there to take care of my grandma, and because his business usually deals with Asian countries. >o>

No, haha, I didn't know how. XD But I usually kept them in jewelry boxes or other containers I had. Now I've started using these tiny plastic bottles that were originally used to hold those plastic beads you use to make bracelets. It's perfect since most of the shells I take back with me are tiny, and I tend to bring back a lot. X'D
Aww~ I've never had a rabbit, but in elementary school, my best friend owned two at her house. She said they didn't like to be held though, heh, but they're so soft! X3
Music? I don't remember mentioning music, but I'm just assuming when I mentioned vocab books ( vocabulary, for English class XD ). And, there has to be at least one psycho teacher in any student's life, haha~ Mine was probably my religion teacher in freshman year of high school.. and my religion teacher in senior year of high school... >o>;
That's too bad.. It'd have been nice to have spent the time on those trips with a friend or two, no? My elementary school was really small though, only an average of 30 students in my class. >O>;
Heh~ I'm not that girly in nature, so I don't think I'd think much of that magazine. XD;
Ooh~ I just read an extract from the online site. The first book is now being added to me to-read-list. X'D
Wow, haha.
That sucks. D8 My room is usually decent enough for my mom not to feel the need to intervene. A lot of where I keep track of things is only known from memory too, so it'd really suck if my mom came and cleaned my room or reorganized it without my knowing. x^x
Haha, I feel like every time my post becomes a textwall, it's a result of rambling. XD
@Sakura: yeah, but I did get to see him yesterday/last night so that was good
ohh thats such a good way to put...only matter about the present, I should stick to that more often.
@Lura:
ahh I used search for shells with holes already in them, it made things alot more easier on myself xD
most of the shells I usually tried to put holes in usually smashed T_T
I have heaps of bead in my room, alot of them I bought for a textiles work I was making , but I have a few of those earings/bracelet/necklace making items.
Rabbits are the softest...I could cuddle them all night...but yeah rabbits have to have constant contact with humans otherwise they start becoming ferral if you just leave them out in the cage and don't give them any attention...I always cuddle and squeeze my rabbits when I corner them in their cage so I can pick them up xD
I feed them and refill their water so I have every right to chase them with my hand until I corner them in their cage...every right.
yeah vocab immediately made me think of music xD
I had psycho art and art teacher...supposedly the language teacher was also psycho but I never had her so I wouldn't know...my younger brother has her and he's always complaining about her...I feel some sympathy for her though...she just went through chemo.
well the last like 4 day camp I went to with the school in year 7, my best friends didn't go, and when I got back from the camp, they all started being bitchy with me and the like so I just up and left them to their petty little life...I changed schools the next year so yeah all in the past
although I did find friends for the remainder of the year with people I would of never of guessed.
ohh you actually looked up the book...yay, its really good, i'm hoping to get the second in the series next week.
ohh...my mum just has thing where if things aren't done her way she yells at us and tells us we're doing it wrong...she yelled at me when I was cleaning the kitchen cause I liked using the sink and not the dish washer..she tried to pull the plug on me but I like having really hot water when washing up...and I don't use gloves...she burned her hands and sulked off xD
yeah when mum does clean my room it usually ends with a two hour yelling and screaming match...one time I was soo angry with her for doing it I smashed a glass Pegasus ornament she gave me for my birthday that year...wished I didn't it really was beautiful.
well rambling is the best way to get a point across at times, cause people usually give up argueing with you once they lose the topic of what you were arguing about...its usually the way i win arguments xD
Ohh, that's smart, to find ones with holes already, haha~ What did you usually do with the shells you didn't try to put holes through (and didn't have holes already)? 8O I just remembered how a friend of mine once used seashells she found to decorate a picture frame. ^ ^
Ahaha~ Yes, you do have that right. XDD
Heh~ I remember my chem teacher in.. sophomore or junior year in high school (the second of three anyway) was sick, I don't remember with what but she eventually had to leave because of it, I think to be hospitalized. A lot of people thought she was weird or something, but I always thought she was a nice person. 8<
That's not very best friend-like of your friends to treat you that way. >8/
But it's good that you've moved on instead of dwelling on it. Do you change schools often?
Yeah, I'm always looking for new titles to read, even if I usually don't have time to read them. XDD;
Apparently, there's also a fifth book in the series set to come up in 2010? ( according to the wiki page >o> )
Ahh, I see. ^ ^;
Random - our dishes and such are always handwashed,
we just use the dishwasher as storage for clean cups and plates, haha~
That's actually a good reason to go to class early, I must agree. =O <3<3 When it comes to seats though, usually people here have a thing about sitting in the same spot the entire semester. So, getting the seat I like isn't too much trouble, I think. ^^;; If not, then, I usually just get a friend to reserve a seat beside him/her usually. 8DD;; Not that I always ask, because sometimes they just naturally reserve me a seat. xDD;; Yeah, I have awesome friends. 8DD;; <3<3
And hmm, I've actually never tried going to a study group before. xDD;; But I think that I wouldn't do too well in one too, because I'm the type who likes studying at her own pace. 8DD;; Plus, my studying mainly comprises of my rereading notes over and over again. And, umm, I study for 1 hour straight, but end up napping for an hour afterward, and, uhh, the cycle continues. xDD;; I also have very bad study habits, now that I think about it, but hey, it works for me, and my grades reflect that it works for me, so my parents have stopped bugging me about my study habits now. 8DD;;
And OMG! Art contests are lovely, especially here on Mene. xDD;; I've gotten loads of stuff for my quest because of said art contests. ^^;; <3<3 And yeah, I also feel selfish about it, because I usually will only enter if I think I have a chance at winning at least something for it. x_x;; But aside from that, I love entering because then it gives me something to draw, and because I've been in an art slump for a long time now, I thrive on commissions and contests to give me ideas and everything. ^^;; <3<3
And lolz, lucky you then. =P Luckily though, my brother isn't into avatar communities anymore, so, I guess it's safe again to try and use a notebook. xDD;; But, I've gotten so out of the habit of doing it, that I don't want to go back to the habit, if you know what I mean? ^^;;
But hmm, I guess I'll try it again anyway. =O Or, I can just change my password right now. xDD;; I think it's due time to change it, anyway. ^^;; And since they're recommending that we do it right now anyway, I guess I'll just do it after I post this or something, haha. xDD;;
And lolz, true. xDD;; Although, I don't like bragging in general. ^^;; I only brag when I know that I do deserve to brag, which isn't even a lot of the time, now that I think about it. 8DD;;
And stuff included are the 18 Roses, 18 Candles, 18 Gifts, 18 Shots (lulz xDD), 18 Wishes, 18 Dances, and a lot of other things. @[email protected];; Usually you don't have ALL of the 18 stuffies in one debut, but yeah, you use a lot of them usually for a formal one. ^^;;
Why do you ask though? =O <3<3
And yeah, you'll definitely be a lot closer to my timezone, lolz. xDD;; Although, I dunno what Taiwan's timezone is, now that I think about it. =O Perhaps an hour or two (or three xDD) away from me? I think I'm still slightly earlier though, but I'm not too sure. ^^;;
And lolz, bookshelves and drawers are always one of the hardest. D: I'm afraid to tackle my own, to be honest. >.>;;
And okies then! :'D <3<3 I'll be sure to spread the word. xDD;; <3<3
And hmm, I think your set-up is nice, for now. =O <3<3
Might I suggest pictures though? =O Lolz, that's too hard, I think, but it'd be nice? ^^;; You don't have to though, since I know that your bandwidth is almost gone, anyway. :x You currently are using 7mb out of 10mb, right?
Keep up the good work, btw! :> <3<3
Yeah, I usually sit in the same spot the entire semester, but that spot usually depends on how the first couple sessions of class goes. XD Mostly it just bothers me if I have to walk in front of people to get to my preferred seat if they've already sat down and taken out the small desk swivel thing from the arm.. rest. @[email protected]
And, I tend to have more friends in my art classes than GE classes, and art classes tend to not really have much of a seating layout cuz the class size is smaller anyway, like 15 to 20-some people.
Hehe, seems to describe my study habits as well. XD
For some reason, I tend to keep art contests and online commissions separate from.. uh.. my 'regular' art, in my mind. Like, they're linked in that I've learned techniques from one type to use in the other, but not much in a way past that? I don't know if I draw from one or the other for ideas either, but I don't think so, not very often anyway. It makes sense to use commissions and contests for brainstorming ideas and such though, since they're sort of like mini-projects. XD
Maybe? XD
Haha, I'd figured you might have felt an urge to change your password after having seen the note about the fake login pages. XD
I don't think I brag usually, and if I do, it's often forced on my side out of awkwardness or something. XD;
Ohhh~ 8O Just cuz I'm curious, haha.
I can't remember any of the ceremony stuffs in the debuts I attended, to be honest. >o>;; But I think I was late for one of them, and it had already turned into a pool party by then, I'm guessing. XD;
Internet says it's UTC/GMT +8, which is also the same for the Philippines. 8D
Haha~ XD
I finally have my shelves so that they're nicely packed in, using the shelf space to the fullest, I just don't know how well it'd function if I'm looking for, trying to get to a specific book. XD;; I organized the shelves by how likely I'd be wanting to read it though, the back - completed series and such, stuff I've read already; the front - stuff I haven't read yet, series that still have books coming out. @[email protected]
Haha, thanks~ X'D I'm trying to keep it simple-ish because the items themselves take quite a while to load. @[email protected];
Yeah, I was thinking of adding pictures, in case people only knew what it looked like and not the name, but adding all that in right now would be murder. DX It's not that it's hard, it's just that it'd be way too time-consuming, and the pages would probably take forever to load too. >.<
Plus.. I figured that's what the MAC is for, yeah? Maybe? XDD;;; My personal quest style is that I MAC an outfit, screencap it with the "View item info" pop-up thing, and save that. So it's usually when it comes time to buy stuff that I forget what stores the items were in, and that's where the search thing would be handy. XD
( Oh, apparently the host is experiencing loading problems lately, so that's probably what happened when you tried to load it the first time. I got the session timed out two to three times last night while trying to edit a page. 8< )
No no, it's 7 out of 100, haha. I was just saying that I've used 7 within some three to four days of just creating the site and loading the pages after every save to make sure it looked okay. XD
Omg, I get what you mean. =O Having to say "Excuse me!" multiple times trying to get to your seat because other people are blocking your way can get very annoying and tedious indeed. ^^;; I have a feeling that it bothers you more than it bothers me though. xDD;;
And aww, that's such a small class! =P My majors are also like that. ^^;; I still get friends to reserve me my favorite seats though, so, it's all good and fun. 8DD;; <3<3
And yay! I'm not alone in the world! xDD;; <3<3
Here I was thinking that I'm the only one who studies like that, since seriously, I don't know anyone else who studies the way I do. ^^;; Either some are more studious, or others are just a lot lazier. xDD;;
And ohh, I see, I see. =O I guess I tend to use commissions and contest submissions as "real" art for now, because I've had NO inspiration for my own artsies for myself lately. >.>;; I dunno, I don't feel inspired to draw anything for myself lately. :x I hope to get out of this art slump soon though. D: </3
And yeah, I did feel the urge to change my password after seeing that message. ^^;; But... I didn't? xDD;; I can't explain why though. :x I think I was busy with other things, and that idea just flew out the window. 8DD;;
... I still haven't changed my password btw, LOLOLZ. xDD;;
*is shot*
>.>;;
And you brag out of awkwardness? o_O;; That's a new concept to me. 8DD;;
And ohh, okies then. =P But hmm, usually debuts aren't held as pool parties though. =O Pool parties are more for semi-formal or smart casual parties. At least, over here they are, because if a formal debut turns into a pool party, that'll just waste all the time us guests spent on clothes, make-up, and hair. xDD;;
And really?! =O Sweet. =P Yay! We're in the same timezone! :'D <3<3
And woah, that's really organized. @[email protected];; Good for you! =P <3<3
My current book shelf is organized by the size of the books. xDD;; And even more general than that, I have school books on one row, fictional books and novels on two rows, magazines on another row, and random stuff in the last row (I have five rows in my shelf xDD). And from there, as I've said, it's just according by the size of the book. ^^;; Dunno why, but I like the cascading descending look with my books. xDD;;
And yeah, that's true. =O That's a LOT of text. xDD;;
And yeah, it would definitely take FOREVER to load. @[email protected];; If ever you added pictures, you might have to make the number of stores per page smaller. ^^;;
And hmm, that's true. =O I just put up the suggestion though, since I'm sure that when it's out for everyone to see, people will probably rant about pictures and images one way or another. 8DD;;
And really? =O Ohh, I see then, maybe that's why. =P And woah, 100mb? Cool. =P Lots of space for other things then. xDD;; Might I suggest putting a link to the thread where you can download the MAC? =O Since the two are interconnected. :> <3<3
Yeah, it kind of bothers me a lot. Especially if it's for a class right after a studio class, cuz I usually have to carry big stuff like my bigarse drawing board or portfolio. XD
The Fine Arts school at my university is kinda small, plus it's split into concentrations, which makes it seem smaller, haha~
Language classes are usually about that size as well. XD
Haha, then it'd make sense that people in between the two extremes would eventually pop up all over the place, no? 8D Though I do understand what you mean, especially since I have a couple friends in bio/chem majors and it seems like they study 24/7. XD;;
Aww, good luck! D8 <3
XD Well, as long as you feel your password is safe enough? XD;
I guess it's more like.. I go along with people um.. praising my work, out of awkwardness. Most of the time, I say an awkward thanks when that happens because I don't know what else to say. >o<;
Yeah, that's why I was just asking what the formal debuts are like, cuz I've never been to one. XD
Haha~ XD <3
I have landed, by the way. 8'D
My bookshelves were organized by size before this recent rearranging, haha. Most of the school books I've used I've sold back by the end of the semester/year, so all I really have left are Chinese and Japanese textbooks. XD Magazines and such I've kept in the same shelf because they tend to be around the same size in height, haha. Pretty much all the rest of my books are fiction, and aside from trying to keep the general themes in the same place, I just stuck 'em in wherever they'd fit best, using up the most space. XD
I like the scale kind of look as well, but I've just found (I guess the hard way) that I have way too many books to have anywhere to put them, and the cascade/descending look (although really nice to look at) tends to waste a little space. XD; Plus, I'm a slow reader, so access to my books isn't as important as efficient storage. XDD
Yeah, a lot of things I would have complained about myself about the site, I've thought them through already, heh. I'm just hoping people will be understanding and realize that I'm not trying to replace anything by filling it with everything, that'd just be too much work for one person and wasn't really my intention for the lists anyway. >.<
Depending on the number of pages being loaded anyway, haha. Otherwise, yeah, 100mb is quite a bit of space. XD
Yeah, I was thinking about adding a link to the MAC thread and all those other stickied threads and guides in the avatar chat forum, since well, it just makes sense to, haha. I wonder if I should ask the thread owners about it first?
I've been PMing a mod about the site recently though, so I'll think about all that once this is dealt with, heh.
Lolz, I see what you mean. xDD;; Maybe it doesn't bother me as much because I haven't experienced carrying really big stuffies around. ^^;; I do see a lot of Architecture and Fine Arts students lugging around a bunch of big things wherever they go. ^^;; Must be tiring though. D:
And ohh, I see, I see. =O Well, smaller classes makes for a more intimate learning experience though, right? :> So, it's all hopefully good, I think~ xDD;; <3<3
And yes, I have friends who study like that as well. @[email protected];; They're too intense for me. D:
On the other side of the spectrum though, more of my friends are just lazy arses. xDD;; Well, definitely like me (lulz xDD), but I usually know when to get off my lazy butt to study. ^^;; Although, I usually only know when to study when I feel like it, or if there's a major test coming up. ^^;;
... okay, so maybe I am leaning on one extreme and not in the middle. 8DD;;
And thankies for the luck! :> I'm progressing a lot with my latest commission, so, it's all good. :'D <3<3
And hmm, it's definitely not the safest password, but I think it'll do. xDD;; At least, I hope it'll do. xDD;;
... fine, I'll finally go and change my password then. >.>;;
Ohh, I see, I see. =O I do that too sometimes. xDD;; I've learned though that a simple "Thank you!" is enough, and is usually the right response. :> Because, even if you feel that it doesn't deserve people's praise, you shouldn't criticize it as much and instead just accept whatever you get from it. :3 It's the right way to go, I think, rather than always pointing out the mistakes to other people so that they'll take back their praise. ^^;;
And oohh, yay for a safe flight then! :>
You posted really late though. o_O;;
Lolz. xDD;;
And lolz, I see, I see. xDD;; Most of my schoolbooks are actually with my brother now, since my mom is convinced that even though our textbooks are different from each other (since we obviously go to different schools), they can help him. 8DD;; That makes for more space on my side though. ^^;; But anyhows, it seems that you have your organizing under control then. 8DD;;
And okies then. 8DD;; Whatever floats your boat. =P I don't see how it wastes space though, since I find that the descending/cascading look is just the same as stuffing books in one shelf, only that the former is more organized and prettier to look at. ^^;;
And yeah, hopefully they'll understand. :> Mene's population is far more mature and understanding anyway than most avatar sites, so, I'm sure no one will complain too heavily. ^^;;
I think you should ask first, yes. =O Just to be sure though? xDD;;
And ohh, you're PMing a mod right now? =O Hope that goes well then. :> <3<3
Kind of, heh. I've gotten sort of used to carrying my drawing board now though, but I still wish that I could just carry my sidebag and nothing else to class more often. XD
Yeah, unless you personally hate the teacher or something. XDD;
Haha, I'd say I lean towards the lazy side, but I know I don't just do nothing for my 'studying'. XD
Ooh~ Is it for the auction you had sort of recently? The one that was autobought in like four minutes or something? X'D
! XDD
Yeah, I dunno.. sometimes I feel like if I just say a 'Thanks', it's like I'm shrugging off their praise or something, but I just don't know what else to say to show that I appreciate their comments. 8<
The plane landed around 10pm, heh. I think by the time I got settled, it was around 11.30? And then I took a shower, cuz I really needed one. XD
Heh~ 8O I'm the more studious between my sister and I, haha, so leaving my books with my younger sister wouldn't have done much, aside from collect dust. XD;
Oh, no no, when I pack my books into the shelf, I really pack them in. @[email protected] Like, books on top of other books, a row of books in the back of the shelf with another row of books in front, and more books stacked on top of them. I'll have to show you a picture sometime, though you'd have to wait two months 'til I get back at the earliest. X'D
Yeah, as I've noticed with the MAC thread itself, haha~ XD
At least these kinds of things don't lead to any really heated arguments. ^ ^
Yup, the.. I guess, specifics? are being worked out right now. ^ ^
Lolz. xDD;; Well, think about it this way. =P All that carrying is definitely gonna help in developing your arm and back muscles...? 8DD;; I mean, those things ARE heavier than the normal things you carry around everyday. ^^;;
And haha! True. xDD;; But still, a smaller class does get more personal than bigger classes, I believe. =P <3<3
And hmm, I think I'll join you, wherever you are on the spectrum. xDD;; We do have the same study habits, after all. ^^;;
And yeah, that's the one. =P And WHAT?! Four minutes?! Lolz, I wish! 8DD;; It was four hours, mind you. =P Four minutes is just too extreme, lololz. xDD;; <3<3
And I will change my password right now! D:<
... I'm serious. >.>;;
*kicks her lazy ass*
^^;;
And why would you think a simple "Thank you!" would be shrugging them off? =O It's showing gratitude, and if you really do mean the thank you, then it should never come across as shrugging them off. :x If you don't mean it though, then that's another story altogether. ^^;;
And lolz, I see. xDD;; I was still awake at that time, actually, but I was busy watching TV in another room away from my laptop. 8DD;; It was charging at the time, and I got too lazy to bring around the charger along with the laptop, lolz. ^^;;
OMG! I'm the more studious one between my brother and I too! xDD;; Luckily though, my mom's words are "law", so my brother can't object. xDD;; They're collecting dust in his room, yes, but, umm, better in his room than in my room? :'D <3<3 LOLZ. xDD;;
And woah, I see. @[email protected];;
Some of my books are like that, actually. xDD;; Especially the magazines. ^^;; For my magazines, I actually pile them on top of each other by date and by magazine name, and then just have them facing upward side by side together or something. =P Not sure I'm explaining it well though, so forgive me. >.>;;
Yeah, we're lucky that Mene's population is more pacifist in general. xDD;; <3<3
And oohh, I see. :> Good luck again with that then! :'D <3<3
You leave me curious as to which mod you're talking to though... xDD;;
Yeah, haha, I feel like my arms have gotten stronger by now, usually my left more so than my right. XD My back? Not so much, the exercise is all wasted when I spend most of the rest of my time sitting in front of the laptop. XD;;;
I agree, and I like how the teachers actually remember you after you've taken their class(es), haha.
*scoots over to make some room for you* Join me anytime~ X'D
Oh, haha, I just remembered the number four, and it was really fast. XDD
It wouldn't be surprised if you managed to get an auction autobought in four minutes someday though. 8'DD <3
owo
Because I feel like.. it's not very enthusiastic? But I'm not usually that much of an enthusiastic person in the first place, not with spoken words anyway. XD; And, I guess not really shrugging them off as much as seeming like I'm not taking their compliments to heart.. or something. This is really hard to put into words. >^<;
Haha. XD The battery to my laptop has pretty much become useless by now, so lately, I've just been using the power cord, which would make me even more likely to act out of laziness if I needed to switch rooms or something. XD;
I must agree with that last part, haha~! XD
By now, my mother's words tend to fall on deaf ears whenever it relates to school/grades and my sister. I think she's just given up, heh. XD;;
Before, I had my magazines sitting in stacks by date, haha. XD Mostly because I didn't know where to put them, and kind of scanned through them by the time they came in the mail and ignored them thereafter. XD; I think I understand what you mean, like each pile is a different magazine (name) put next to each other, then each pile is individually organized by date? 8O Do you subscribe to a lot of magazines? 8O
Lolz! xDD;; Well, at least one arm gets some exercise then? ^^;; That's better than no exercise. =P Although, maybe you try carrying your stuff with your right arm instead of your left, if only to balance out your left. ^^;; Wouldn't want uneven arms now, right? =P <3<3
And lolz, that's definitely a good thing. ^^;; Some of my teachers don't remember me by name, but almost all of them remember that I'm the girl who's usually asleep in class. 8DD;;
*plops down beside Rannie*
This is a nice spot~ :'D <3<3
Lololz. xDD;;
LOLZ! 8DD;; Four minutes is still too fast though. @[email protected];; Cause, unless someone was watching me while I set up and waited for me to finish, it's highly unlikely. xDD;; It'd be nice though...? ^^;;
And what?! o_O;; I don't think I'm that good though. xDD;; Only way that'll happen is if I have a really low AB or something. ^^;;
And I've changed my password now! D:< So, there. xDD;; <3<3
And I think I get you. =O <3<3
Usually, I like to add to the thank you that I also really appreciate their compliments and praise, because in all seriousness, I really do appreciate it when people take the time to say what they think about my work. ^^;; So, I just sort of hope that people get my intentions clear through what I say, with or without the enthusiasm at times. ^^;;
I wouldn't worry about it so much though. =O <3<3 If you know that you do mean what you say, then that should be enough to cease your doubts about whether what you say is genuine or not. ^^;;
This is just my opinion though, and I'm sorry if I'm prying. :x
And lolz! xDD;; My laptop's battery is still perfectly fine, I think, since I can still go with around three or more hours without charging, but yeah, I tend to keep the laptop plugged when I'm not using it, mostly out of habit. ^^;;
And aww, your sister shouldn't give up! :< Giving up should never be an option when it comes to schooling. >.>;; <3<3
And oh! I only have three (or four xDD) regular magazines that I follow religiously, and a few random ones when the covers intrigue me. And yeah, each of the three main magazines I have are in separate piles and organized by date, with the other piles just other magazines in combined piles by date also. ^^;;
... it's hard to explain. D: Sorry about that. ;_; </3
And lolz, I understand. =P I still wish you luck with that though! ^^;; <3<3
I do switch arms occasionally, but my sidebag rests on my right side, and tends to be kind of bulky with sketchbooks and whatnot, so it just bothers me a little when I carry things with my right arm, haha. XD
That's.. That's not really a good way to be remembered by your teachers, is it? XDD; But I feel for you, some of my smaller classes, like my art history class, I always feel really bad for the teacher when I end up dozing off, in more than one session too. XD;; I blame it on the bad timing of the class, the point of the day when I reach my limit of hours staying up. XD;;;
Isn't it? 8D
It's a great perch from which to observe too, haha~ XD
Someday, when RyRy's art is incredibly incredibly incredibly popular, it could happen~ With a well-deserving AB too! 8'3
X3
Yay~ *celebrates* XD
I didn't see it as prying, haha. XD
I genuinely feel grateful when people compliment, but I think you meant to say it should be enough to cease my doubts about whether other people see my thanks as genuine or not? XD Thanks for your opinion though, it's let me see things in a slightly different light. 83
Mine lasts about half an hour now, at the most, haha. But I've had my laptop for a while, so it's to be expected. ^ ^
No no, I meant I think my mom's given up trying to encourage my sister to be more studious. XD Forcing good grades to come out didn't work, suggesting good grades as being helpful for her later life didn't work. My sister's more of the street-smart type of person than someone all about facts and such.
Heh~ 8D
No worries, these textwalls have really brought to light how hard it is to describe things with just words, haha~ XDD
Well... maybe you can rest your sidebag on your left side...? xDD;; You can also even up your shoulders that way, so that all the weight isn't always on the shoulder you regularly use. =P Just small teensy advice though? 8DD;; Since my shoulders actually became sorta uneven at one point due to something similar. :x
And lolz, I guess. ^^;; Well, they also do remember me as the one who gets high marks despite sleeping in class? xDD;; And the one who actually recites and has a lot to say WHEN I'm awake. ^^;; Of course, this is just what I hear from both my professors and classmates collectively, which I find funny indeed. xDD;;
And awws, maybe it really is just the morning class then? =O I know how it feels to reach your limit of staying awake... >.>;;
Yes, it is. :> And ohh, I definitely agree. =P
We also get to enjoy the best of both worlds this way too~ xDD;; <3<3
And pfft, as if THAT is ever gonna happen. xDD;; You have a better chance of ever reaching that point than I ever will. 8DD;; <3<3
*celebrates as well*
Took me two tries this morning to figure out my new password though. xDD;;
LOLOLZ!
And okies then, if you say so. ^^;;
And yeah, that's what I meant. :> You can't control the way people perceive what you say, so as long as you know what you want to perceive, it's not up to you to convince people to see your view. :3 It should be enough if you yourself mean it, since majority of the time, people really will get your intention anyway. ^^;;
If they don't, well, that isn't a big of a problem as you might think. =P Think of it as an, "I've done all I can, so I shall let things take its course instead." kind of thing, except on a smaller scale. :>
This is all just my opinion though, and I'm glad my shared little bit of personal wisdom (?! xDD) with you helps, somehow. =P <3<3
And ohh, I see, I see. =O
Ever thought of buying a new battery for your laptop?
I see now though. =O I will agree though that forcing someone to get good grades rarely helps. =\ Motivating and encouraging someone is usually the way to go, but if that doesn't help, then it really is up to your sister to decide if she wants the grades or not. xDD;; But it seems that her strengths do not lie with academics but elsewhere though, so that's always good to hear. ^^;; <3<3
And YES, I agree. @[email protected];; It's so hard, sometimes. xDD;; Especially when you're at a loss for words. :x </3
And no problem. :>
Is it complete now, btw? =O The site says so, but I wanna ask to make sure. ^^;; <3<3
Ah, I see. At least you are going to be there for two months. Have you been there before?
Maybe go visit your grandmother too while you are there.
@ LekLek:
I am here with him today. I will not be much online Tuesday nor Wednesday because I am spending time with him, and sleeping. XD I usually wake up around 2pm or so on Wednesday.
Thinking about today is always good, because you might never know if you are going to be doing the next day. Always live that present time.
Yeah, I'm just stubborn and don't want to change, haha~ X'D
Ohh, really? 8<;
Haha, like two sides of a coin or something. XD
Possibly, I'm not very much of a morning person. >.>;
Haha~ XD
But I'm like, the slowest artist ever. XDD;;
Plus, I feel like RyRy's art always seems to have a deeper meaning with them, which makes them that much more special~ X'3
Aww. XD;; At least you were able to get it eventually, haha~
Ahh, I usually go with that.. uh.. way of acting in life(?), just do as much as I can and let everything else fall into place.
Hehe, personal wisdom, indeed~ as my eyes have been reopened to a great way of thinking. X'D
Yes, along with the thought of just getting a new laptop altogether. My mom sees it as cheaper to just get a new laptop with better features and such, rather than spend a lot of money upgrading my old one. 8<
Yeah, though it still leaves some of my family members with worries for my sister, heh. But she's always seemed more independent than me, in personality and practice. 8O
XD
The website is complete yes, and my main question about the site that I asked the mod about was answered. But I think the idea of making a thread about it (and all other details that go with it) are being debated.. or something. I haven't heard back from my last sent email for some days now. >^>;
Sakura - Yeah, I usually come back once a year.
And my grandma lives in the same house I'm staying at, hehe~ X'D
Ohh, that's smart, to find ones with holes already, haha~ What did you usually do with the shells you didn't try to put holes through (and didn't have holes already)? 8O I just remembered how a friend of mine once used seashells she found to decorate a picture frame. ^ ^
Ahaha~ Yes, you do have that right. XDD
Heh~ I remember my chem teacher in.. sophomore or junior year in high school (the second of three anyway) was sick, I don't remember with what but she eventually had to leave because of it, I think to be hospitalized. A lot of people thought she was weird or something, but I always thought she was a nice person. 8<
That's not very best friend-like of your friends to treat you that way. >8/
But it's good that you've moved on instead of dwelling on it. Do you change schools often?
Yeah, I'm always looking for new titles to read, even if I usually don't have time to read them. XDD;
Apparently, there's also a fifth book in the series set to come up in 2010? ( according to the wiki page >o> )
Ahh, I see. ^ ^;
Random - our dishes and such are always handwashed,
we just use the dishwasher as storage for clean cups and plates, haha~
Ooh, so sneaky and kind of smart. XDD
yes as smart as it was the shells were usually thin so therefore they would break easily T_T
as for the shells without holes, i tried to do some art with them...unfortunately I'd always attach them to paper, and cause a whole lot of shells on thin paper adds weight and hence tears the paper...wasn't the smartest thing. xD
mhmm, and they look at my funny when I put the food in their cage and then pick them up and cuddle them before the get to eat...if I let them eat first I'll never get to cuddle them.
I find science and art teachers tend to have a very different, corny and quirky sense of humor compared to every other teach in the school.
no it wasn't, and sure I wasn't there for her like 12th birthday, but her party was on the weekend and I had already bough her present, unfortunately, the day the year was returning from the camp about 1.5km (2-3 miles) away from the school my mum was involved in an accident, the doctors didn't think she'd ever be able to walk again (Gosh if that was the case she'd be more whiny and snappy) so yeah that whole weekend I had to baby sit my younger brother while dad was in hospital with mum (parents didn't trust my older two brothers)
so yeah not the best thing, but the first day of the next week at school I gave the present to her and apologized a thousand time but you know, its as if all of them had already made up their mind before i even got back from the camp...
and no I only changed schools the once, which i'm glad i did, cause my friend i had at that school already our friendship became more stronger, I'm pretty sure we'll be friends for life.
ohh there's a fifth book...ooo, I must read all of them :drool:
I'm also waiting for the last book in the looking glass war trilogy to come out this october (I'm pretty sure its oct...i have it written down somewhere)
ahh, I think we have to many plates and cutlery, and thats the reason why dishes pile up, because we know that there will always plates and cutlery the next time we want them.
Lolz, I see. xDD;; Well, I'm not forcing you or anything. ^^;;
And yeah, it was a result of uneven weight and my bad posture. :x I'm correcting it though, and so far I've corrected majority of it already. =P I can't fully correct it though, since I sorta have very minor scholeosis. ^^;;
Lolz, that's a funny analogy. xDD;; I guess it is like two sides of a coin though, now that you mention it... 8DD;;
And same here. >.>;; I'm not exactly a morning person either. ^^;;
And so? =O Being slow doesn't mean that you're not an awesome artist. =P <3<3
And, well, I'm always a fan of symbolisms, especially subtle ones, so, I try. ^^;; Sometimes, it doesn't always work though, sad to say. :x But that's part of the process of learning, I guess. xDD;; <3<3
Yeah, at least I got to it eventually now. xDD;;
Took me only two times before I got it now! 8DD;;
And see? :> If you can apply it to your way of life, then it shouldn't be all that hard to apply it to this situation too. =P
And wait, what? ^^;; I don't think it's a great way of thinking, per se, but I'm glad I helped enlighten you, somehow. :3
And yeah, it's probably cheaper and better in the long run if you get a new laptop. =O Do you have a model in mind though? ^^;; Choosing a laptop can be pretty difficult. :x </3
And hmm, as long as she's not failing though, she should be all right. ^^;; I mean, if she is more street-smart than book-smart, then that should ease the worry a little more, I guess. =O
And there's a debate going on about it? =O
Hmm, I do remember it being mentioned somewhere that the mods were planning something like what you did, I think. I'm not so sure though. >.>;; But I do wish you luck on it again. =O <3<3
I am here with him today. I will not be much online Tuesday nor Wednesday because I am spending time with him, and sleeping. XD I usually wake up around 2pm or so on Wednesday.
Thinking about today is always good, because you might never know if you are going to be doing the next day. Always live that present time.
ohh really, awe, do you two take like cute lovey dovey pictures together?
and sleeping on bf's shoulder is the best
