@davkot1

Man, that really sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you ☹️. Maybe you could save up some more EC by using the Click Exchange?

It feels so weird to not be going back to school this year.
This is the first year that I can remember I'm not going back to school in September. Whoa.

To all those heading back soon, good luck!

mastergemma • 31 August 2016 at 10:31 AM

During class my lecturer said not to draw our sherds by sketching it, we had to draw the whole line in one go.

I've never disobeyed a teacher so much, I can't stop drawing how I've drawn for the last 10+ years in a single day!

@davkot1
Only half a million? I wish I had your luck. I've easily lost 1.5 million in that shop but I have been able to snag two or three critters from there.


@crazyfeline
I'm not far off, I just need to make sure I have the hours and I need to go to a driving instructor to make sure I'm doing things right. I do need to work on reversing and parking a bit more.

I'll also need to try and remember road names instead of travelling by sight, that will be the hardest part!

crazyfeline • 1 September 2016 at 11:05 AM

@mastergemma
It took me way to long to get it through my head that when reversing, turning the wheel left also makes the back of the car go left too xD
What I really struggled with was staying on my side of the road. I used to drift off into the middle. xD my mum told me she wasn't letting me even go for my P plates until I'd stopped that, so I got out of my habit 😋

~.~.~.~

Tomorrow I'm going out for lunch for a friends birthday, Saturday is a birthday dinner, then Sunday I'm going to my best friends house to give her her presents and eat cake for her birthday. Three birthdays this week and next, so I'm spending friday and my weekend celebrating them with friends 😃

Work was kind of bad tonight. I was tidying shelves and dropped a thing of milk....which broke and milk went everywhere. :/ this was also done in front of a friend who was in shopping...
Right as I said "I'd be good in grocery. I'm better st tidying the shelves than they are" haha. I cleaned it up and quickly went back to checkout. Ugh :/

When I drive I normally glance at nearby planes when I can. Once the scenery caught my eye, the clouds were so pretty that day and I drifted a little towards the edge of my lane. As soon as I heard the small bumps that separated the lanes I snapped back to focus.

Everyone makes mistakes and drop things. I drop, walk into and bump into a lot of things daily (how don't I currently have a million bruises?).


With my new laptop, I'm able to play Dark Souls 1. My computer can barely play the game and it's funny knowing that my computer is worse than a laptop that's more than a quarter of the size of it.

hashtagnight • 5 September 2016 at 5:59 AM

@mastergemma

I always have the urge to draw when I can, and also do it during lunch.
It's a habit, yet I'm unable to think of a drawing, so I draw random characters.

And that kids is how I make my OCs.

And about the bruise thing, I always have random bruises on my knees. Ow. I'm trying to be careful yet I have bruises. It stinks.

crazyfeline • 5 September 2016 at 7:36 AM

@mastergemma hahaha I guess that happens to us all at times! 😊

I do the same daily! xD
No bruises for me either 😋
I guess we're both just too used to being that clumsy that we don't bruise anymore? xD

~.~.~.~

Went and picked up my new car today. 4 and a half hour drive. My mum drove me up, then I picked up my new car and we took the two cars back.
Picked it up from the city, so not only was I driving a new car for 4.5 hours, but through heavy traffic for a bit too. Haha it was fine. Drives well! :')

fakeworld • 7 September 2016 at 12:08 AM

I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow, and possibly a new job opportunity for me Friday. This week shall be a good one. 😊 But besides that, here I am at 12am craving a chicken sandwich and sweet tea from Chick-Fil-A .. I need it! Chipotle sounds good too lol.

sparklefox • 11 September 2016 at 7:04 AM

I'm listening to Pokémon Colosseum's soundtrack and getting so nostalgic! A major part of my early childhood was watching my older sister play this all the time, so I quickly grew to love it. But my younger brother lost the disc and we recently moved house, so we've lost that forever... So I've been lurking around the one store in our town that sells older games like this to see if if ever restocks (I saw it once and didn't have any money for it, I hate myself for that...).

(And yes. Online shopping exists, but my family has given me the wonderful feeling of never trusting it... <n< )

Too bad I've also been really busy with school stuff and other life things. A kid on another site really wanted me to draw a character of theirs for them, and I've been taking so long with it that I feel really bad.

dragonii • 16 September 2016 at 6:07 PM

@sparklefox I haven't played all of colosseum yet. But listening to pokemon stadium gets me all nostalgic.

I don't have any money to go and buy things online. hehe. QvQ;;

Oh, man I know how that is, be it Request or commissions. I just suffer. I can never draw for other people unless its a gift... cause it it's not then I just want to get everything made perfectly. so they know that what they spent was worth it...

---

My mom got my family the humble bundle, so that we could makes games and earn some money. (Moms are so cool,)

I've been working with the game maker program since yesterday and it's making me half tempted to go and make a deep story that is told in with boxes instead of actual characters.

Also making a EC fan game is kinda of tempting... I wonder if its okay. -starts thinking intensely-

dreamer • 16 September 2016 at 11:16 PM

I keep coming back here but not *really* coming back. I don't know.

I just got through my second week of junior year, and there are still MANY more to go. lol

I also had to endure a very dumb breakup a few weeks ago after I spent my whole summer waiting around for the guy to get back in town... Never doing that again. I'm not salty at all, no sir.

I've been playing a lot of Pokemon GO, so that's been cool. I do most of it from the passenger's seat, although lately I've been getting out and playing more on-foot, as I should be doing. :X

That is all for me. Life carries on.

sparklefox • 22 September 2016 at 5:39 PM

[Obligatory post mentioning the fact that 22nd September is my 7th anniversary here.]

OK, that's all. You can go back to more interesting things now.

blackcatvenus • 29 September 2016 at 3:40 PM

Raises hand... "Umm"

-Puts hand back down-

"Bye....?"

hashtagnight • 30 September 2016 at 6:13 PM

It's October 1st where I am.
You know what that means...


THE SKELETON WAR IS ARRIVING

icymuffin • 30 September 2016 at 6:29 PM

@nightmaremoon12

It's spoopy time!!

//laughs


Story time! c:

For some strange and inexplicable reason last year, on the first of October, rather large spiders started appearing in my house. One every day in a new location each time. I'd toss them outside, but every day a new one showed up indoors. At some point during the month I got so used to it & sorta worried towards the end of the day when I didn't spot one yet that I'd go wandering around the house to find that day's spider. And then, for some strange and inexplicable reason, it stopped on Halloween.

Guess what I saw today on the ceiling.

In any case, I'm excited for the skeleton war :'D

mastergemma • 1 October 2016 at 7:44 AM

@blackcatvenus
Hello blackcatvenus, how are you?

@nightmaremoon12
Not the Skeleton War, there'll be way too many spooky scary skeletons around! What is the skeleton war?

@icymuffin
I'm very happy I don't have that experience but a few days ago while I was out in the bush at camp I stumbled across a spider. I was just in a woodland or an open-forest when I broke a part of a tree. I stared at the part I broke off and there was an unnatural medium to dark brown colour there. I wasn't paying full attention to it until I started moving my hand to place it there when the brown moved.

It was a spider. A huntsman. I nearly placed my hand on a huntsman.



Camp was fun. It really showed me that there are so many interesting things in an area if you just open your eyes. In a 3m patch of land my group found over 20 plant species and by eye, you would only see a few noticeable ones. My favourite plant is now the Drosera aberrans, it's so cool looking.

hashtagnight • 1 October 2016 at 8:04 AM

@mastergemma

It all started with a dril tweet saying that if your grave didn't have rest in piece in it, you're automatically drafted into the skeleton war.
And then Tumblr found the Dril tweet and it started becoming a meme.
And up to this day, September and October are now the months of the Skeleton War. Mostly October since it's the month of Halloween.

crazyfeline • 1 October 2016 at 9:57 PM

@icymuffin that's so weird!
Good thing it has happened at my place, I hate spiders!!

@mastergemma woah!!! I'm feeling uncomfortable just reading about someone nearly touching a huntsman!
Yuk yuk yuk

~.~.~.~.~

My new car is going really well. Love it!!

I'm focusing a lot on getting ahead with all my makeup stuff. I'm just really focused on getting as many looks done as I can to get a little more noticed for it. My Facebook page's likes are creeping up real well 😃
I figure the only reason to get more recognised for it is to keep smashing out new looks!!

I'm thinking next year of moving on my own to do the diploma of makeup at one of the top places....its a serious thought, but it scares me. The end of the year is coming up so its so soon. I'm terrified to move away from friends and whatnot. Although I know we'll still remain close and I'll make more friends and all. But still. So scary!

icymuffin • 1 October 2016 at 10:44 PM

@mastergemma
Ugh, no. NOPE. D: That's just terrifying. I'm glad that didn't happen.

It's amazing how such tiny creatures have a sense of curiosity, but I'd appreciate it if they didn't, you know, take interest in us = v =;;

Mm? What kind of camp was that? ALSO, that plant is really cute. The pseudo water droplets look so cool.


@crazyfeline
Ahaha, yeah, very true! It would be unnerving to find one crawling on the bed or something sorry :'D

crazyfeline • 2 October 2016 at 9:27 AM

@icymuffin well, guess I'm going to spend my night away from all furniture with the lights on and on the look out for any spiders xD hahaha

Its crazy but I actually used to have a fear that I'd just be about to fall asleep and I'd feel a spider next to me. Gained that fear after reading about how we apparently swallow them in our sleep. 😋

Did you find one today?

mastergemma • 9 October 2016 at 4:41 AM

@nightmaremoon12
That's hilarious! I hope the war only occurs during October.

@crazyfeline
It's funny in hindsight but it was scary.

Every year for my birthday I would specifically say no make-up and every year I got a stack more which unfortunately goes to waste because I do not use any of it.

Moving into a new place would be a scary thought but it will also be great fun! Just make sure you do your homework and I"m sure you'll be fine!

@icymuffin
It was a botany camp and I had to collect as many plant samples as possible from different species, catalog the different species and sample the soil. It was great, where I had to sample from had families of kangaroos and emus and the owners had the most beautiful dog!


http://www.vcps.org/vicdrosera.html
I haven't seen one in flower, they are so beautiful!


How do you know it's windy in your state? When there are videos of planes that have aborted landing because the winds are so rough!

hashtagnight • 9 October 2016 at 5:12 AM

@mastergemma

The skeleton war usually starts on late September, and rapidly becomes more popular on October. I celebrate Halloween on October, and then the Skeleton War before September ends.

~~~~

Anyways, there has been some teasers for Miraculous Ladybug season two and three, so if you want to remain hyped, I suggest you don't look at Miraculous Ladybug on the internet for a while if you don't want to be spoiled.

mastergemma • 9 October 2016 at 7:42 AM

The power just went out and lasted a while. It was caused by a tree falling on power lines. I'm happy because I got to use my candle that I got for Christmas.

@nightmaremoon12
Your costume idea is the best one I've heard!

hashtagnight • 10 October 2016 at 2:23 AM

@mastergemma

Thanks, it took me forever to think of the idea.

ethereality • 23 October 2016 at 10:16 PM

hello I'm a bit sad

valorieviolet • 23 October 2016 at 10:40 PM

Me too.

lucid • 26 October 2016 at 9:02 PM

Today, the class of World History Honors has peaked.
Nothing will match the greatness that has happened this very day.

During the beginning of the class, when we were checking homework, the teacher pulled up a random example from one of the other classes, completely randomly chosen, on the projector.

Said randomly chosen homework contained brilliant answers such as "I cried a lot" and "England burnt France's first ever love at stake". We were all giggling. The teacher at first told us to ignore if it got the answers wrong, not knowing the extent of the wrongness. Eventually he saw the homework, and realized the terrible mistake he had made, pulling up a different homework.

Then we watched a depressing documentary about the Black Plague.

(Also just realized I haven't posted in two months...better post more!)

icymuffin • 28 October 2016 at 9:28 PM

It's been raining quite a bit around here & everything smells really nice and fresh outside. There was a rainbow just before sunset too~

And downtown, there's this musical swing set installation at a park where, when you swing, it plays an instrument. BUT, if you swing in unison with other people, it plays intricate melodies. It was really popular and a lot of people visited it all the time. Plus, it was right beside a couple children museums, so the kids really enjoyed it ^^
The city had to take it down recently to prepare for Christmas decorations though~ Now there's giant Christmas present boxes everywhere. I really wanted to climb inside one just for the fun of it ; v ;
And the people are already about half-way finished with making the ice skating rink. AHHH! I'm so excited with everything.

crazyfeline • 29 October 2016 at 1:12 AM

@icymuffin a musical swingset?! That sounds so cool!
It scary all the Christmas decorations. Doesn't feel like it should almost be that time of the year yet..
And an ice skating rink?! So jealous because we don't have that hear!

~.~.~.~

My towns having its annual beach festival today. So I walked to work. About a 40 minute walk. I learned my lesson last year, there are NO parking spaces anywhere. Especially around lunch time, and today I started at 12. I made a good choice, the parking lot was totally full.

Never bothered checking out the festival, I'm just kind of gone into a bad mood, so I just wanted to go home after work.

One week until I get to see Alfie Arcuri perform.
