I have seen a couple of boys wrestle in green jello. It amused me to no end. You just have no idea. Not because I found it hot or anything because believe if you saw who was wrestling, Ugh...
Anyway, it was just funny to me. I guess kind of the same way people try to catch greased pigs. That amuses me too.
Now using oils and stuff for other things can be fun, although I hate it when it gets all over the sheets.
I'm not dissing your pen0r. I'm just saying you can't make me go to the dark place. I'll go their willingly most of the time but we can't turn this in to a sex topic about how Seccy's sex is like WOAH. Besides, none of us will ever truly find out so it's just a tease. And you say I tease... pfffffffft..
Yes Juru has no intentions of discussing Zani or its previous owner. It will upset her a great deal. She might have to write another letter.
I don't understand the drive to be the next supermodel. I got flab, I'm healthy, childbearing hips, I'm not gross and I clean up well. I don't have to be rail thin to look good. I think it is all about confidence. If you think you're beautiful and you look good, others will get that too.
I'm sick of being sick too. Everywhere I go people are hacking and coughing. It's like the whole world is just spreading the same damn germ all over the place over and over again so that it gets time to mutate and become immune to stuff.
And yea, this won't be the 20g winner. I just can't do it. Damnit.

Ok I am gonna try again, and I want to address the skinny model comment from Word.
I for one am entirely sick to pieces of overly skinny models. I saw this thing in a magazine recently where they compared models from today next to the really healthy super models from the 80's and I was blown away at how skinny they have become. The difference was amazing. I hope this fad passes soon.
I actually heard one designer say that the clothes look better on skinny models. But my answer to that is design clothes that look good on real women. I got a catalog on the mail the other day and a size 8 was an XL! When I was younger a size 8 was usually a small or a medium. We didn't even have size 2's.
I am seriously sick of Kate Moss too, what is so great about her anyway? She isn't that attractive, she has done a ton of drugs and she shouldn't be held up as an ideal for anything.
I think I am just getting old. I don't understand you kids these days! *sits down with her lap robe and her cane in the rocking chair*
Does anyone watch Project Runway? Speaking of clothes...Tim actually told a designer a few years ago his dress was too pretty! He said women don't want that. Yeah cause I know I don't ever want to be too pretty! *rolls her eyes*
Ok I dunno if I made this time or not...probably not!
Don't feel bad Juru, I can't do it either...this one only grabbed me 14g.

My last post was twenty gold! Without a single edit!
Wordy, you're so wrong and you really shouldn't talk about things you have no idea about. Most models get into it as a side job, a way to earn money while they go to college or because their current job doesn't pay enough to support them or as just a hobby. The ones that dream of being a model never make it. The ones that make it are the ones who don't dream of it but need it so they can survive. Which is also why a lot of them are skinny when they start out which is how they make it big.
Then they get caught up. They get more and more money for a shoot and they spend more and more and then they need it. To maintain their lifestyle they need that job. Here's something for you to think about, a no name girl will get something like $30 an hour doing modelling. It's great when you're at college, or unemployed or struggling on one minimum wage and no family support. And $30 becomes $100 so easily for some people. And you try giving up $100 an hour! Hell I know one girl that get's nearly $400 an hour and she's only been doing it for a year or so. And you try suddenly not having that? It's much easier to cut down on food. Why? Because catwalks don't feed their models! Well they kinda do, if you can call half a sandwich for 12+ hours being fed. A model can eat herself sick at home but it doesn't matter because she's not fed at work and she doesn't have TIME to go and eat elsewhere. A lunch break for full days shoot comes to the grand total of five minutes and she's so rushed that she doesn't even have time to THINK about eating for the rest of day.
How ignorant and closed minded are you for commenting on things you have no bloody clue about! And I'm sorry but I'm not going to sit here and listen to it! I'm out for the day.
And wordy...next time you insult models, try and make sure you're not insulting your friends or friends of friends.

Angel, I apologize for offending you. I really do. I don't understand doing it.... I still don't understand doing that for a career; I'm sorry. I think that I'd give it up--if it was hurting me that much, I think I'd still try giving it up. -shrugs- I can't say for sure. I can get why that much money is good, especially when you need it. I guess the question is how much you're willing to give up for money.
I didn't mean to offend you; I know that I do generalize at times, and I always forget to use a disclaimer about that. That's how it seems to me--and probably to most people who don't know shit about it.
Edit: I'm leaving the thread for the night, too. It's... Uncomfortable. Once again, Angel, I'm sorry for having offended you. Seccy, if you want me to stay away from your thread, please let me know.

I am not sure what just happened. But to lighten the mood and change the subject I will tell you about something I read in a magazine a while back cause it kinda struck me as funny and make me think.
I read an amusing article in Allure magazine. It was called "The Girl Of My Dreams." Trust me it wasn't about what you might think. It was about those anonymous women that we all get a glimpse of in public who leave a huge impact on us because we wish we had whatever quality it is that made them stick in our memory based on a fleeting image. She went on to say that in reality their lives probably aren't as good as we imagine, but that we identify with the quality that sparks us because we either have it in a latent form or we wish we had it. (I am paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it.)
The interesting thing was that upon reading the article I IMMEDIATELY remembered those women from my life. I guess we all have them. They are never movie stars or models, they usually aren't perfect or even if they are, that isn't what makes us remember them. Sometimes it's an easy grace, a daring we don't possess, or simply a casual style that reflects a comfort in their own skin.
I will tell you about the three that made an impact on me. One was at a concert in the 80's. She had that perfect smoldering italian looks and long curly black hair with deep red lipstick. But it wasn't her perfection of looks that made me remember her. As she made her way calmly through the crowd of raucous concert goers she looked completely unflappable and as if she had just struck a pose for a magazine at every stride. At that point in life I really wished I had that olive skin and dark haired coloring, and her perfect 8 X 10 glossy worthy poses just fascinated me because she was so untouched by anything going on around her. Since I've gotten older I have become incredibly thankful I was born a natural blonde. I don't have to wax anything above the neck!
The second one was in 1989 on my honeymoon in Port Jefferson, NY. (Geez I am old!) Anyway...she was having lunch with friends at an outdoor cafe. She had black pants and a shirt and really ugly shoes that reminded me of broguns that were fabulous in their own way because she made them work. She had wonderfully dangly silver earrings that were shown off by her shorter glossy dark hair that had bangs that flopped over the back a la Johnny Depp the early years. It was in fact her easy laugh and her amazingly casual yet chic hair and style that fascinated me and left an impression. You have to understand that I have ten pounds of unruly hair that has never had a chic day in it's life because it runs amok with wild abandon. Now I am sure that somewhere some woman with smooth glossy dark locks has looked at me and I left that impression on them because they wish they had ten pounds of unruly blonde hair...but hey the grass is always greener because that's not the pasture you live in!
The last one that made an incredible impression on me was in fact a man. In 2000 I was at Jazz Fest in Sacramento. The place was teeming with attractive, flirty college-esque men who weren't ready to grow up yet. Now you might think one of them would be the one I would remember. You couldn't be more wrong. The one I remember was an older gentleman walking down the street with a very pretty younger woman. She was clearly not a relative either, but I could understand her attraction to him. He was short, very thin, part asian and not anything beyond average to look at. However he had that certain je nais se quoi. He was wearing light colored loose fitting trousers and a shirt that had a certain amount of silk in them. You could tell by the way they flowed as he walked. He had on sandals, small wire framed glasses and a beret. I know...it sounds awful doesn't it? But yet the man was perfectly comfortable in an outfit that really wouldn't have suited most people his age. He exuded a confidence and a comfortableness with himself that is rare. You could tell that he was young at heart but had an old and artistic soul. He seemed like the sort of man who would dazzle you in a million ways without even knowing it or trying. He was worth a dozen of the cute post college boys. But it wasn't that I wanted to be with him, I wanted to be comfortable with myself in that way. I think it's that quality I saw in each of these people that I wanted for myself.
As the years have progressed I think I have grown into who I am, made peace with that and become comfortable in my own skin. I know my good points and my short comings and I am fine with both. However I don't know if I will ever be as comfortable as those three anonymous people who made such a lasting impression on me in the split second that I saw each of them. But then again, we don't know how people view us.
(My fingers are going to fall off, but I think I got my 20g for this one! HA)

So is the only way we are allowed to post in this hangout is if we make one large post worth twenty gold?
I surely hope not. There have been several occasions where I have made twenty gold posts, however, most of those where not of the conversation types.
Though on the other hand it would be kind of interesting to only be allowed to post twenty gold posts, or if the post originally is not worth twenty, continue to add/edit it until it achieves twenty gold or else that person may not compose another post until that goal is complete.
On a side note, I must inform you all that I highly detest lime Jell-O. Even the color of its wiggly constructed form unnerves me. However, I would completely be up for a good spot of wrestling. I suppose if the Jell-O is indeed on others half-naked body, I might overlook its grossness.
Mmmm…. *cough* Yes, well, sorry…. My imagination got carried away there….
The only downside I can find about twenty gold posts is that there is so much to read in them. And a lot of people seem to write in almost full walls of text; my poor eyes are about to bulge right out from trying to follow each line of wording in the posts. I do have to admit I usually only skim long posts. I hope no one is too upset with me.
So far all I have gotten is something about the difference between English and American languages spellings of different words, people finding that it is indeed difficult to estimate lengths of post that will earn them twenty gold, and that the most popular fonts to write in are purple and red. I myself am no different as I am writing in a tint of red.
I will say that the idea for this hangout is unique. From time to time I will probably come and sojourn here a while, however I do believe that a semi-fast moving conversation in a thread may prove to be more prosperous versus the time it takes to actually sit down and write a post message that is long enough to grant me twenty gold.
So now with that done my friends, I shall bid you adieu.

Can i tell you guys about something i posted on another forum about a game i have never played?Anyway,i was on the Steam forums and i was in the Team Fortress 2 sub-forum and i saw a thread about who is the cowardly class and when i was there most of the people said that the spy is the most cowardly class because he can like cloak(spy is my favorite class even though i can't play game because my country is like blacklisted and i can't buy stuff from the internet)but the nearest country i live to is greece and maybe i can buy it from there and like play it in my country.Anyway,i think the sniper is the most cowardly class because he just stands in his base sniping and stuff but the spy can sneak behind him and kill him.There are really funny videos on youtube with spies such as "FYI i'm a spy" that one is really funny.Anyway(for the third time)i posted a long reply and i was like "even though i don't have the game i know that it takes skill and stuff to play the spy".Sorry for the long post XD

Don't worry, Spy - a long post is rather the point of this thread. That was rather short compared to what others are attempting.
I saw the drama level go up in here last night and I went to bed rather than try to think of anything to say around the subject. But reading the mention about the Allure magazine reminded me - I have insane co-workers.
I'm on a new team that's pretty small and doesn't have a lot to do each day, so my two partners go through these stacks of crazy magazines looking for odd pictures to cut out to make collages with. Right now one of them is working on a Michael Jackson / Zombie / Weird things themed one, and BOY let me tell you some of those Gossip Mags have a LOT of 'weird' pics in them....
I've been tempted, but I've got my own hobbies to keep me busy. I try to stay away from most Girly mags anyway. I pick one up and start reading, and I eather laugh my head off or snort in disgust at the lies. But I don't need to be wasting my time with those things.
Anyway. It's morning for me. I just got my son on the school bus. Almost forgot to sign his Field Trip paper for Monday. Ooops. Now I'm going back to bed for a nap before I have to go to work. This single mom thing makes for some really odd hours.
Later!

I am sorry that I am late Secret, because I certainly didn't mean to be - because that is quite rude, and disrespectful to be purposely late. But I have a quite reasonable excuse! I really do! You see, I fell asleep. Though I am certain that many would disagree on the validity of this excuse, as an excuse, I’m sure you will see that it is quite acceptable as an excuse in this case. You see, I stayed up all last night, and could not keep my eyes open any longer, as I was doing jewellery, watching TV, and talking to yourself and Angel. I tried, and tried to stay awake, but alas, I failed, and thus fell asleep. Epically failed, even - though in my defence, I did manage to say good-bye to everyone I had been talking to on Menewsha - in Angel's adoption thread - before falling asleep. So perhaps I did not epically fail, as I also managed to put away my jewellery-making stuff, rather than falling asleep on top of it...
But as you can see, (I am certain), I am back! I have returned to eat your soul! Minus the eating your soul part of course, because I’m sure you are quite fond of your soul. Attached even. And I don’t think you would be very happy with me if I were to eat your soul. But if I am mistaken in this, I would be more than happy to eat your soul for you! I hear they taste like chocolate. And as most people, I love chocolate! I actually happen to have a rather large piece sitting next to me, right now. A quarter of a large milk chocolate egg, to be precise.
I wanted to say congratulations on opening your 20 gold thread! I was very excited to see you'd opened it, and couldn't wait to write my first post on it, which is what I'm doing right now. The images on your first post look great! Absolutely lovely! I think they fit the thread quite well, and draw the eye, in a good way. Very aesthetically pleasing!
I have not yet had the chance to read through your wonderful thread, as there are now three pages worth of posting, most at least attempting, if not succeeding to post 20-gold posts. And as I'm sure you know, 20-gold posts are quite long, and my enthusiasm for contributing to this wonderful thread would not allow me the patience needed to read all the other posts, before posting my own.
But I do intend to read them all, as I am curious as to what everyone else has been talking about in their posts. All of them being wordy, and long, I'm sure - as this one is currently wordy and long, and will only get longer as I continue to type.
Anyways, I’m hoping this is 20 gold, because I have other things I need to do, I am afraid. Which means I have to stop typing this, and go get them done. They’re not EXTREMELY important, but they need to be done in a timely manner, none-the-less. So I shall end my post here, and come back later to read all the other posts, and post again. Though I WILL stay long enough to edit this post, and tell you just how much gold I got for posting it.
Toodles and take care Secret! And you too Angel, since I’m sure you’ll be around here again, eventually. <3

Hello there,
I hope its OK if I just jump in?
@Blondheart: That really is interesting - as you described them, I was there with you and able to experience them - are you a professional writer?
I've had experiences like that, too - at least I think these are the kinds of instances you are talking about :-)
One of the instances where I can remember a person with such complete clarity because they made such an impression on me was a mother of five children in a restaurant. I am in Austria and family restaurants are pretty much non-existant (unless you count McPlastic) and people just take their kids to the normal kind of restaurant. Kids need to behave there, there's no running around and there usually is no kiddy corner or something like that.
I don't know if she was a single mom or if her husband was just not there, but this Woman was alone with 5 children, some of them quite small (I'd say they where about 14ish down with the youngest about 2 years old). She didn't look pretty, but what stuck to me was the way she handled her children. There was no yelling, no fighting, plenty of laughing. Imagine that! a semi nice restaurant and five kids of several ages playing calmly together at the table, entertaining eachother. They wheren't quiet - but they where not annoying anyone. She ordered a big bowl of salad first witch they all shared before their main dish.
She was so confident and you could just tell that her children where going to grow up to be the same kind of people.
Jello wrestling? is it mandatory if I want to stay in here? I watched two of my teachers wrestle in jello, once...
This might need an explanation: in germany, where I grew up, we have a tradition in highschool - the class that finished the "Abitur", a very hard standardized test in their last year, gets to play a practical joke on the whole school. The wrestling match was part of one of those jokes. Very messy.
Anyway, I have no idea if tjis is a 20 gold post yet, but I'll post it anyway - if it isn't, I'll post a longer one next time.

Hey Jezriel that spork or whatever it is looks pretty cool...anyway(this again)so i downloaded the Avatar Creator thing and...the things cost 10200 gold(if you count the black tuxedo top and the black tuxedo pants)and without them i have the basic black boxers,the black uniform shoes and the black amarande gloves(which costs 700 g in total and with the black leather gloves 675 and i don't see a big difference between 700 and 675...i think the leather gloves are more manly or something but i'm gonna get the amarande gloves anyway).I look very funny without the black tuxedo pants and the black tuxedo top.
And i said goodbye to everyone in a charity thread too before i went to sleep but i never found the thread again.By the way....how ...old is this website?Did this all like start in 2006 or something?And i saw this thread's creator,Secret in the "Fresh Meat" thing...i wonder why not like....Newbie Town or something along those lines...Hiiiiii Secret!!!:D
I don't think this is long enough so i'm gonna just type here about something like...what i'm listening to right now...and that's Eminem...i'm listening to Backstabber.It sounds like he had alot material to use in the early years of his career.By the way the album that the song is on is Infinite.Does anyone here like Eminem?Who thinks that school sucks?I do.So like i found a question in Yahoo!Answers with funny town names and i ROFLMAO'ed when i read them.So i'm like talking to my friends on Skype and ....they left....i guess they had to do something.
I don't know if i can type any longer it's been like 1 hour since i listened to music and talked to my friends and i don't know what to do anymore...now i do this thing with the spaces...whatever it's called...and speaking of....something ...wait ...take out the pond?How?Growing plants IS hard i guess but who am i do judge when i don't know how to grow plants?XD you have to water them and stuff...it is not alot of fun.And i don't study...I think i've mentioned it in this post(i've mentioned that school sucks IMO)and i'm doing a test thursday but i have the answers :twisted: so i guess i shouldn't worry about school and stuff.My favorite subject is....recess...jk it's English....i've been able to speak english since i was like 9 and type since i was like 12...now i'm 13.And i'm not from the USA.And i think i've mentioned in this post that i'm not from the USA...oh well with such a long post(IMO it's long)i can't remember what i'm writing here.
Now....on to videogames.I bought Assassin's Creed a few days ago and i don't know if it's the pirated version or not...i am waiting to get my computer upgraded but i can't wait until tuesday or monday to play AC...I'm gonna play it in like 1 or 2 hours and when i go to Jerusalem if the game crashes it's pirated...too bad...but i will buy it from greece if they have it there...since it's 11th April it should be realeased in Europe today.I buy games from the same ...store i buy other games and i don't know if they are pirated but i would be happy to buy the REAL game if i had a copy of the pirated game.I've seen a trailer of Prototype...look it up on wikipedia if you want to see what kind of awesome game is....it has like free roam and stuff and it will be released on the PC,Xbox 360 and PS3...but not for Wii...i only got a PC but it seems to me that the Wii has only childish games and the Xbox 360 gets the Red Ring of...something all the time(well it has a 33% failure rate) and the PS3 it too expensive...i don't know what to buy if i ever have the chance to buy one...probably any of the 3...i'm not into graphics all that much but if a game has crappy graphichs i would rather not play it...and i need blood and stuff in a game not...something childish and since i'm a teen...13 i can play teen games (13+).
I guess i will end my ...posting streak because this is my second post on the thread and i haven't used short ...typing stuff i.e i'm,i'd,i'll etc...
EDIT:20 Gold yay!

I likes my spork. ^_^
Well, back from work. Is it just me or is it REALLY hard to get a Quest thread going? I mean, unless you start one with two or three people so there's always some action going on, the thread just slips into oblivion. I update mine as I get stuff, but I'm not even sure why I bother since no one sees it but me.
Does anyone else feel this way about threads they've made? It can't be just me. I could probably coerce some of the people I know into posting... but I don't want to do that. It makes me feel bad. This is bad enough, but I just wanted to rant about it for a bit. And this isn't about the quest, it's about the thread. Keeping a thread going by myself. I know I'm still new and all... but... *sigh*
I don't really know who to ask for advice, either. Is it usually a better idea to just make a Marketplace thread with what you want to buy, rather than a quest thread? I can see having exactly the same problems there, and then I'd still be in the same boat. Eh, well.
I'll manage, it's just frustrating.
And, whoa, I almost forgot to do my FISHING today. XP

Hi everyone. I'm going to make an attempt at this twenty gold post thing. I've made several twenty gold posts in other places before. Most often in debate threads and stuff like that. It doesn't happen often with me though, because in general I don't always have a lot to say. Especially if I am just responding to some topic, or chit chatting with someone. It will usually only be a sentence or two and earn me like three gold. That is so frustrating. So it takes me forever to earn gold. I've been trying to get all the Saint Patrick's Day items in the shop before they go away but it's not happening. I only got two, and I really wanted to get one more and I've been trying hard all day. Well I thought they were going to be removed tonight but they seem to still be there, so here I am, up past 4:00 AM and dead tired, posting on this site because I know if I go to bed when I wake up tomorrow they will be gone. :( I don't think I'm going to be able to stay up long enough to get enough gold to get that item though. I want the clover. D: It's the cheapest, but still so out of reach. Even if I do manage to get twenty gold from this post, it still won't bring me to nearly enough. Oh and the really frustrating thing is that nothing is going on at this time of night. No one is on and no one is posting. There are no knew posts to respond to, everything has been at a standstill for hours and I feel like there is nothing I can do to gain gold because of this. I kind of like this though, where I can just sit here and write and write and write, whatever comes to mind. I just hope I don't write so much that it makes it not so worth it. I always kind of feel like when I get twenty gold, that maybe I could have gotten so much more if there wasn't a limit. And then I feel like I've written too much. Like a wasted effort or something since there are so many times when I don't write very much. So while I'm glad to get twenty gold, it also makes me feel a bit regretful for writing so much and not earning gold for every bit of it. I only hope that when I make posts like that, that I'm not going over the amount that gets you to that twenty by too much. But I really have no way of knowing. Anyways, I certainly think I've talked enough about this to get that twenty gold. But now I'm like, "Oh no, what if it isn't enough?" Since this is like a challenge of sorts. I can't tell if it's a twenty gold post or not! Noooo! >_< Oh well, here goes nothing, I will submit and hope for the best!

I dunno why but I have a feeling that there will be actually very little discussion in this thread. Mainly because it is really hard to keep any sort of discussion flowing with a twenty gold post because if you are having a normal discussion that starts with the traditional 'how are you?' then you answer the whole How are you thing getting to twenty. That being said I think I will tell you how I am just for the sake of saying it and to try and prove myself wrong by possibly having a conversation after this post is done (which I doubt will get me 20 gold)
Ok so at the moment I don't really have any extreme feelings though I am feeling a little nervous because school starts again tomorrow which I am looking forward to since I am sick of staying at home all the time.
On top of that I have my second driving lesson on Tuesday. Unfortunately it will be in the middle of town so that is really worrying since I stall a lot and I am not that great with the whole foot of the accelerator when your changing gears thing. In fact I am horrible at it.
Oh wait and my dad comes home on Tuesday (Tuesday is going to be a great day) He comes bearing presents in the form of phones so yeah yet another plus I am really looking forward to seeing him again since he has been away now for two months and I really love my dad. He works in the Navy so it's not unlike him to be gone for long periods of time at any time, I think the longest he has ever been gone was a full year but I was young so the time didn't actually seem so bad and I can't remember it to well. (he brought remote control cars home that time)
Ummm and that is all thats happened recently (is going to happen) I dunno what else to say I have racked my brain and then racked it once again in the opposite direction in an attempt to get anything else out and it's just not going to be a happening thing.
Ok so I have rambled on a lot. If you can respond to this please do I would love to have a conversation.

Well, I did take the time to read all the walls of text. Some of them kinda understood the point, some of them kinda didn't it. But hey, we can't all get it right the first time. Some people tried their best to hold a conversation even thought it was difficult to do so. Others just babbled. lol. Maybe Miss Angel was right, and I should have spooned the thread.
I don't personally care for that though. It reminds too much of the General Discussion on Gaia. You know what I'm talking about, don't you? That's whole
<insert a paragraph>
Discuss.
This
That
Other Things
buttsecks.
God, I used to hate on Gaia.
Spy's first post made me giggle when I read it in here. All his sentances seemed to smoosh together and made me think of a very excited 13 year old who just got his first chest hair or something. *laughs a bit* No offence to you, Sir Spy.
And yes, I do remember seeing you over in the Fresh Meat forum, and it was nice to run into you again. IF you ever come back to read this post, may I suggest that you stop by my other thread called 'Shh.. Secrets of Menewsha' which is located in the same forum as this one. Then we could carry on a real conversation and not have to find bits and pieces in texts walls. lol. I heart ACreed. Good game.
Naito, I don't think you can be late in this thread. lol. I never expected anyone to post so quickly. It was more of a thread that you come back and post once a day, if even that much. So far Angel has all beaten though! She made it to 20 gold three times. I've only been able to do it once, but I hope I get it this time. You should take the time to read the posts more closely because you find some interesting things slipped into them, usually right in the middle. Or near the end, when they are straining to get that last bit in there to make it to twenty gold.
I think this is fun. And it gave me something to do tonight while everyone else was offline.
Aeisha. I think you feel the way I feel about this thread. Heh. It's very hard to carry on a conversation when you have to type a LOT to get to the twenty gold. But meh. Could be worse. It could be the chatterbox.
Driving lessons, you say? When I was 16, I seriously thought I would never be able to drive a car. Haha. Even though I'm a guy, I always thought I would be too overwelmed to even attempt to drive a car. It only took about a week for me to feel comfortable in it. Learning manual cars is always tricky. I started with a manual, because real men drive a stick! haha.
Two months is a long time to go without seeing your dad. I'm sure lots of people would be like GREAT NO DAD but I know what it's like to be away from people you care about for long periods of time. You can miss out on a lot in two months. I hope you guys have a good time on Tuesday.

Hello, everyone.
This is a pretty interesting idea for a thread.
I rarely make posts that are worth twenty gold unless I'm responding to a whole bunch of people or having a hard time trying to explain something.
It's always exciting to see that you have received the maximum amount of gold though.
I got in once yesterday when I made a thread in the General Discussion forum for the first time in ages.
xD
I agree with what others have said about this thread though.
I feel like I'm rambling right now.
Also, if I start chatting in this thread, my habits will probably change.
Usually, when I enter a conversation, a read all of the posts on the last two pages to get an idea of what is going on.
Here, I just skimmed this page and only fully read the last two posts.
I still might try and stop in here every now and then though.
I bet that I will have a lot more failures than actual 20 gold posts.
Especially when we no longer earn gold for coding...
Like Wickedpan-chan and some others mentioned, I really like getting a nice bonus for adding color to my text.
I only really ventured into the General Discussion forum on Gaia a few times when I had first joined the site.
I don't really remember how the topics were set up.
I just remember a lot of porn and pictures of cats...
o_O :shock:
Well, this doesn't look like a twenty gold post to me, but I've run out of things to add to the conversation and I don't want to spam.
Maybe I'll have more to say on whatever is being talked about in here next time?

Nesia is right, like every one els. Its so hard to stay on topic with out making side tracks.
The only way time i get 20 gold post while staying on topic is the *every one can cook* tread. I did that like 2 or 3 time.:P
it would be nice if i did do the colour coding to get the extra gold nesica :P. silly me never dos it, cos i thend to forget.
Well i like the gaia comunity discion. but now it's more like a freaking chatter box. every time something happens there are like 10 treads about it. And if you dont wanne talk about that topic..el to bad for you, couse ever one like to talk about in 10 topics that are more or les the same. and e have no intereset in other discions untill something els big happens.
or thats more or les the feeling i'm getting out of it. reason i'm not so in to gaia any more. the topic boor me beyond tears.
oh the cats are for saterday. cos saterday is catterday. and the everyon post funny pics of cats. or so my boyfriend told me. he has been on gaia for 3 years or so, i'm gussing he nows what the miew he's talking about. i'm just taking his word for it. *mostly cos i don't relay care
the porn i dont get, mabe the 4-chan infaision/hacking period. there was loths of porn pics then.
ps. it me not have been a 20g post for you, but it did help me on mine.
*gives nesica a big hug for helping out. even if it was not planed.
secret your coment about real man drive a stick lol me. i'm going to take driving lessons in june/july. again. yes it wil be a stick again. i used to fight a lot with my last instrocter. i don't take wel to comments on how i dress. if i wanne dress in a short skirt thats still covering my ass with black stockkings i sure as hell will. comment on my driving.
as a thank you on my comment on how i dress. i past a parked car at 60 km per hour and almost hit the mirror with about 2cm to spare. the street is pritty slim so it best not to drive fast when car is comming from the other side *i was shure i would make it so thats why i even did it.
he did not make comments on my dressing anymore, stil a loth on my personal live. my bro and 2 sis had lesson from him to so he had a loth of insight. wich bugged me a lot.
so afther more then a year of taking classes with him i stoped. cos i pritty much had it and i had to do my theorie again. witch would be a nother 30 euros down the draine. Add the 200 for the pratical test i stil need to take. and we stil need to add up the cost for the driving lessons.
in holland you have to get a theorie and then get a praticel. but you have to get the pratical with in a year you got the theorie. its real pain in the ass to get your drivers licens here.
so its been a year sins that. i'll see what a new teacher brings.
guss i talked a lot now
time for home work. juk
*and colour ..i'l go for indigo, thers so much blue here :)
<3 20g
edit i think i got al the spelling right
edit maby now i think.

Aww.
Thanks for the hug, Wickedpan-chan.
I'm glad that I helped you think of something to say!
-hugs-
My post was actually closer to twenty gold than I expected.
I received something like 17.58 gold for it.
I should have tried to crank out another sentence or two.
:lol:
I always format my posts.
I like how it looks and it really boosts your gold award.
It usually makes it easier for me to find my posts in busy topics, too.
In general, I like the Community Discussion forum.
It's fun to see people working together on community projects and fun user run events.
I know what you mean about repeat topics.
Usually after an event or a new item release, there are all sorts of feedback topics.
xD
There has also been too much drama in the Community Discussion forum lately.
It almost seems like another forum should be created for "anti-community" topics.
-shot-
I've heard of Catterday.
I really don't understand where that idea originated though.
o_O
I've never driven stick shift.
It looks hard.
I like automatics.
>_<
That sounds like a really uncomfortable experience with your driving instructor though...
Good luck getting your license!
I should probably be doing homework...but...
I'm lazy.
Oh, well.
I don't have anything more to add to this post now.
I doubt that it is worth twenty gold.
It would be neat if the "preview" button told you how much your post was going to be worth...

it was lots of fun. it helpful to :)
*lets nescia hug
wel thats good :) its close. wel this reminds my of my school work for english. *most kids inmy class wanted to shoot me for it.
i only hade to come about the last 15 min grom the wntire 100 min class. we hade to right someting about animals in english. it always har to be like 400 to 800 words
i can really ramble on about something, so it was not that hard for me. the only problem was teh spellign so it only took me about 15 mins totale. and i stil mes up on the spelling part. see here for al to read :). most of the time i was ramble onabout everting that i past the 800 with out seeing it. i barly had time i had to add a sentence or to :).
then again 800 words is not that much as here:P
i like it to just then to forget. not as much as when i started here. but i tend to :)
wel it is fun to see a community work together. even more to be a part of it.
what i menat was the evolve items ever time you get an up date there like 5 new topic on that the up date has been made. cos ever one has to chat about it in there own tread.
4 new one's on what the next stage and end stage would be
4 more on how much the like/hate a serten evolve up date
2 about the price in the market place
3 or so on when the next update will be
1 one about the evolving timmy and doc
so basicly if i dont wanne discus evolve item i'm scruwed. the are bary any other topic to discuss en and even if i open one. no one is interseted.
this is just evolve up date. its the same with cash shop items, contribute items, and shop update. or when the next bug comes a long. its anoing me. i would like to talk about someting that is not an a freaking item and how its mixing with the rest of the items. there i more to live then that.
one's in while it is fun to talk about items but not 24/7..thats what i ment
yes the anti topics are stupid to if you ask me. like i said there discussing the same thing again wich is why it tens to get on my nerfs.
i dont now much about the orging of catter day. just that some one did it end everyone started doing it. like dancing i guss.
wel i don't mind automatics. but here if you do the exame with an automatic, you cant drive in a stick. then you have to do a nothere driving test just so you can drive with a stick.-_-* freaking stupid if you ask me.
but if you so the test with a stick you can drive watherver you want.
and sins it is already as freaking expensif i'll do a stick. most cars in holland then to be sticks to so its better if you just get it right away. ps if i'm goign to be bob *the cant go drink when going out. i need to be able to drive the car. even if tis a friends car.
o it was not that uncomfortable. it got so far i liked to go driving. just to see what crazy stunds i get to pul on every comment he made. * not in a way it could kill or harm anyone. stuf like going to fast on a speed bumps and such. or grind the gears when ever i have to switch. *it's amasing how many time you can do that without having it break. *it never brok thats the real shock.
the wurst thing i ever did was this.
i asked him if we could do some refurs driving and parking. he sad no. so i looked in the mirror to check if it was save. then i stamped the breaks so hard that it would have been a problem if he did not have his seatbelt on.
i screamed a good 5 minuts at him that if was not planning to do that i would get out right then and there. and that my parents where not paying for lessons on just plaine strait, turns and highway driving...how childish it sounds i now
afthere that is was a ferry nice day of me learning to park in small placesis.
wel i'm going to do my home wrok. i need to get down with this stuf. bleg.
that on the previen is not a bad idee..
but i guss every one owuld crame extra someing there hor her to get to x gold witch is a sentence away
edit
<3 20 gold again lol
and without colour coding to :) witch i forgot again ^^*

Miss Nescia, hi! I remember you. I think you actually won a page prize in my other thread and I drew some art for you. Most of the people who used to hang out in my thread are gone, or hanging out in areas on Menewsha that I don't venture to. I don't even look at the general discussion on here anymore, maybe that's where everyone is. Heh.
And yeah, you're right. There are a lot more fails than success in this thread, when it comes to earning the twenty gold. I think it took me about five tries. I kept getting 16-18 gold.
In response to your other post in here, the only reason I bother to color my text is because it helps me find my own posts. I could always look for my avatar, but after a while I don't even notice the avatars and just reconize certain people by their font styles on here. Speaking of looking for posts..
When I was gone, all my threads got buried because obviously, no one was using them much once I stopped coming on to Menewsha. I kept asking Ferra to help me find them (she's so polite, by the way, and very helpful) and the last time I asked her she was like 'I don't have special powers or anything. I just use the search feature.' I was like OMG epic fail! And felt totally stupid because I forgot about that. So now, I look for the threads myself. lol.
Community discussion, meh. I don't go there much either these days. I read some of the threads, but I hardly ever post there unless I got something nice to say. *trying to not bitch and moan* =O Everyone is so anxious about the software change. I think Menewsha has a few features disabled, but meh. It doesn't bother me a whole lot. I still like Menewsha a lot and I don't even think about the big update unless someone else mentions it, or the newbies are crying because they can't get Decender work. Heh.
Miss Wickenpan, real men drive stick is something my dad used to say to me. It should be on a t-shirt lol. And sold at one of those redneck truck stops. <3 And you have to get an instructor? Like a real teacher? I just went driving around with my brothers and sometimes with my dad's 4th wife until I got the hang of it. Then I drove without a liscense until I was comfortable enough to take the test lol. I think the new law says if you're under 18 you have to take driving lessons, so maybe that is why you have a real instructor.
*smacks your old mean teacher*
I remember when I went to take my driving test, the only thing I had problems withs was that weird parallel parking bit. I asked my tester 'If I hit one of the cones, how many points do I loose?" He just looked at me and said if I hit one of the cones, I automatically fail and have to take the test later. lol. I was like.... 'oh...' It made me really nervous. Worse part was that my car kept stalling out. Not because I was driving stick, but because my car sucks lol. I remember my car actually running out of gas on the way there. lol
I had to push it about half a block to the gas station and pumped a few bucks into the tank. Back then, a few bucks made a difference in the gas tank.
Yep. Now gimmie 20 gold!

Hello Wickedpan-chan. :) I don't think we have ever met before, have we?
So you live in the Netherlands? I do as well. :) I agree with you, some of the laws here are weird or even just plain fucked up. The whole driving-car-license system over here is extremely expensive, especially if you fail the first time. Which is why people here often tend to wait some time before they try to get it and not straight after they can legally take those lessons.
Well yeah. The Netherlands. It has good sides - it has bad sides. I suppose that counts for about every country.
I myself don't drive a car or own one, however. Not old enough for it anyway. I am only 15, and here in the Netherlands you actually have to be 18, so yeah. XD It will probably take quite some time. But I suppose you know that. XD
Secret, I must say that I love your idea for this kind of Hangout, it's a very nice place. :) I hope you don't have problems with me entering and just starting to talk and all? As far as I know we haven't had any problems, but I always have some strange, kind of shy feeling when entering a thread for the first time if I'm not directly invited to it. xD
I agree, Ferra is such a nice, polite and helpful person. :)
I see Nescia has posted here as well? Nice - I tend to talk to nescia in other threads pretty often. :) I hope I'll see her here some time as well. :) She's one of the best moderators I've ever seen on avatarsites. Always polite and friendly and willing to help if you got a problem. :) I personally like ToriKat as well. :) Talk to her in her hangout often, although I haven't visited it the whole past week. Should be visiting it again soon. :)
EDIT: 18.54 gold. xD

Miss Wickedpan, I fixed it and updated the list. So now it says that succeeded three times, and that puts you in a tie with Miss Angel and myself. ^_^
Miss Silenia, Apparently I wasn't the first person to come up with this idea. Miss Angel and Miss Estrella, two very nice ladies from a thread over in the Fresh Meat forum had the idea as well but I guess they never got around to making the thread themselves. They said I should when I came up with the same idea of making a twenty gold post thread. It's going a lot better than I expected and I've gotten to meet a few new people already. Hurray!
And of course, I don't have a problem with you just popping in and starting to chat. That's what the Nations are all about, meeting new people. Atleast, it is to me. Personally though, I don't venture out of my own threads much these days. It's not really a shyness. I dunno.. I feel like I don't have much to say to them. For future reference, you're more than welcome to hop on in and chat in any of my threads. ^_^ If you can even find them lol.
When I first stated on here I didn't post for weeks because I was worried I'd get in trouble because of all the no spam rules on here. lol.
Ferra is helpful. Nescia is very nice, but I don't bother her with my silly questions lol. She tends to be offline when I am on. I've talken to ToriKat a few times, but I don't know her so well. She always seemed fairly polite though. I haven't heard anything bad about her. lol.
With all the drama and rumors on here you kinda get the feeling that everyone knows something about everyone else. I guess that's what makes Menewsha so great. I like the drama, while everyone else is like OMG STOPZ. I don't like the fighting, but if they are talking about the issues in a mature way, I say go for it.
The only kinda drama I don't like is how people keep bagging on the staff this or that or the other thing, then get upset when the staff respond. Atleast they SAY SOMETHING, unlike Gaia online where the staff don't even acknowledge you. Interaction with the staff is something that makes Menewsha one of my favorite forums. Hopefully it will grow with us, and take the direction we all want.
