So, I read the thread now... and... it was all about this elemination game? o_o"" Oh, seriously, that's the kind of drama I experience in other forums, but I always thought TFF was more... mature. ^^" (Though I can still understand the situation, but getting mad because of this isn't that great, really... I got mad at such stuff earlier as well and I wasn't happy all the time <-<") Tomorrow already? Then I'll try to cheer on you while writing my exams You should apply a lot, mister. Otherwise you'll get bored at home some time in the future. I only did that when I played the Pokémon games many many years ago. XD I always called the antagonists "ass" or something like that xD" I was a damn annoying child I think... XD"
Oh, there was a bit of this and that with certain members thinking the moderators were corrupt or something, because they got several threads closed and a favorite member banned. So they were all upset about that. A thread with some of the drama still exists in General Chat, titled "Getting On My Soap Box" by Pete, or something like that. There was also an earlier thread that I forget the name of, and then a more recent thread called "So Why's Everyone So Mad?" that I got involved in and am kind of embarrassed that I did, now. I guess I didn't really say anything bad, but still. I've got an interview on Thursday Hopefully they like me. Should probably keep on applying places just in case though, although there is such a strong desire in me to just be lazy today until I work tonight... Generally I don't either, but this time, I was like, "...heh." Yup, Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
I didn't play that often either. ^^" There was so much that robbed me off my time in the last few months... Sometimes I didn't play for 2-3 weeks.. ^^"" It wasn't my favorite either.. Actually, I didn't like it THAT much. What kind of drama? O.o Damn, I missed a drama, now I'm sad. I like dramas - but only when I'm not involved Hehe, I even got some Ramen Noodles at home. XD" I don't know when I bought them.. probably about 3 months ago, but they're for the worst case. (Gosh, if I don't make sense at all it's because of the guys I'm talking with via skype at the moment... they're so crazy, but they're keeping me awake XD) I hope you'll get a second job, then. When you still have enough free time, it's okay. :3 LOL XD I never change names, to be honest. I like the original names of the characters. :3
Heh, I mostly took that long because I didn't really play it regularly sometimes. Sometimes I'd not play for like a week, and mostly I think I just played it a an hour or two a day here or there. Honestly, it wasn't my favorite Final Fantasy... I only did a few of those missions, mostly after beating the game. TFF is alright, though there was a bit of drama that you missed like a week or two right after I became one again. Eat Ramen Noodles! They're like the staple of the poor college student Can you cook well? I can't. I know how to boil water... heh. Most of my meals are sandwiches or canned/microwavable goods. Occasionally, a frozen pizza. Or just eat out, heh. Good luck with that job hunt, though; I hear it's bad all over... Hopefully one of these places I hit up responds to me and likes me, and the same for you. May our financial anxieties be put to rest! And I have plenty of time... heh. If I got a second job, it would likely be part time too, and I'd overall probably still work less than 40 hours per week. But of course! You're my favorite character in that game Although this playthrough, I gave everyone really stupid names (except Quina, because s/he's weird enough on his/her own.) Amarant got it the worst; he's "Anus." Well, good luck with your finals, ma'am. I'll be hanging out, heh. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
You also needed that long? .-. Damn that game! >-< I just needed so long because I wanted to level my characters through those missions/mobs... I did about 30 of them, then I didn't want to anymore. ^^" And now I can't see that game anymore XD" Hehe, sounds like a nice coincidence. ^^ I hope you enjoy your work. Being a mod can be quite fine - if you're mod in the right forum. But I think TFF is a nice place to be mod. :3 Hah, jobs are a problem of me as well as of late. I want to spare you the details, but my parents are on a diet right now and therefore I have to buy my own food. <.<" They seldom cook for me and they actually don't care if I have enough food. So I need quite much money each month to buy food. Then I still have to pay for uni. That's why I decided to search for a job, too. Having a second job isn't that great, as far as I know. I mean, will you still have enough time for yourself when you have a second job? .-. Yay, FF9! =D I have to play that game again some time soon as well *_*~ And I'm honored that you use Freya a lot *kekeke* ^^ I'm still in my end-of-term-exams. ^^" I have 5 of them next week (in 3 days x..x"). That's why my only hobby since last week is learning, learning, learning. XD" I just decided I needed a break. :3" But don't expect too much of me. I'll be absent till Thursday (at least that's the plan XD) and then I'll start working right after my last exam... so that'll be stress. >_< That's why we shouldn't write TOO much again. (Makes me laugh, 'cause I know that we'll write 500 word minimum each VM again XD)
Yeah, jeez, lady! I was starting to think you were gone for good this time! And it took me like two or more months to beat that game, so don't feel bad Well, I told them that I had a lot of free time, so they might as well make me a mod again so I could help out. And so they did, heh (it had just so happened that Djinn had been asking for help in the General Gaming forum, too.) Oooohh, lots has happened since I last talked to you. Didn't end up doing that firefighting thing after all, because I got another custodial job, and I figured I should take the one that's more reliable... and this job has been giving me really crappy hours-like 5 to 13 hours a week, when they said it'd be 15 to 30-so now I'm looking for a second job :/ I also got a kitten. Think there's some pictures of her in my pictures. Her name's Kiara. Need to take her back to the vet sometime this week... Been drawing and uploading them little comic strips of mine. There's a thread devoted to them in the art forum called "72nd and a 3rd," if you're interested. Dunno if you'll be able to read them though, as per my hand writing tends to suck. Also, started an outline for a new story (as opposed to the one I was writing before) and thinking up new characters and such. Dunno if I'll ever go back to the other one... I also started playing FF9 again. Just got the Forgotten Continent. Freya is my highest level character at like 42, heh. Can't really remember a lot of other things, though it seems like a lot has happened. How about you? You done with school for the summer now? Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Nargh, FINALLY >_< I dare to come to TFF again. -.- Can you imagine? It took me FOUR MONTHS (!!!!) to complete FFXIII. And till the end I didn't know how it would end. >_<" So, afraid of spoilers, I didn't come here anymore. HEY! What happened? You're a mod (again, if I remember correctly?)! =D Congratulations! How did it happen? What the heck did you do these past months? ^^
That's cool. Devote your time to the Uni and get good grades, lady! *thumbs up* That's also cool, becoming a teacher. Be sure to become one of the coolest teachers in your school! Be the one who people aspire to be like when they become teachers, themselves. The one I remember was Mr. Crow; he was a young teacher with a funny sense of humor. He actually got rather disciplinarian sometimes, however (often to my surprise) so he also had our respect. Or yeah; do whatever you want, as you probably know better what you need to do than I do Yeah, the forum's gotten this way especially in recent times. I've been guilty of a one-liner at least once in the past few months, myself. I think people are adopting the theory of "long posts generally just repeat the same points over and over, when they could get out what they want in one sentence." Which makes their posts rather blunt and callous sometimes, in my honest opinion, but hey! I've shortened my posts a lot in recent years too. Although my posts are generally probably still longer than most; I think a little extra information can help spark a conversation better. (Then again, I feel like most people seem to skip past or ignore my posts a lot, lately... Which is how I often feel. Then for a little while, people will talk to me a bit, and I'll forget the feeling. Then it starts over, heh. I assure myself it's just that no one has anything to say to me most the time.) I've seen my "friend" less and less. He was here the other day; came in while I was playing FFXIII towards the end. Talked over a cutscene, and then was trying to tell me how to play the game (even though he's admittedly played like one rpg in his life that he likes.) And then he went out into the living room and said something creepy to the girls ("So I get to watch you girls work out?") so I told him to be more careful about what he says and does, and that it makes them uncomfortable. He said he will, and "thanks for the heads up." We'll see. Yeah, the Phantom Fox is actually like a dark gray. Eh. I think I only make that description once. He also has glowing red/black eyes underneath is goggles, so maybe that's where you got the red from. Drawing is fun You don't have to be good at it; just do it! I haven't worked as a firefighter yet, but I've taken the course and passed it, and I've bought the gear for it. However, I had an interview this morning to work for a janitorial service called "The Office Nanny;" something my friend works for. I might not even get the job, but if I do, I'll probably take it, because it's a guaranteed 15-30 hours a week. As disappointed as I'd be in not doing the firefighting thing after spending nearly $300 on it (including a tank of gas to drive out there all week) and having hyped myself up and told everyone I was doing it... But eh. Have fun in school, lady! I'll look forward to hearing from you next time Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Hah! Guess what happened! Uni's finally robbing me off my time. I have lots to do and lots to train (especially for my English courses -,,-"). So I don't have that much time anymore. x3" I think I'd teach you the basics first. Like: hello, bye, how are you? and stuff :3" And then I'd teach you some basic sentences ("Crazy foreigner needs help!" for example XD) and of course how to be polite in Germany. It's WAY different than in the US, I suppose. At least I can say that I tend to be impolite towards english-speaking people ^^"" And yes, I'm going to be a teacher, so I learn how to teach. :3" I don't know much about it so far, but... well, I know a BIT, at least xD That's what I meant. :3" "Gahd" like... "Gawd" XD You know~ Like in "gone"... and "got"... and such words. I wish I'd registered when the forum was still new... then I wouldn't feel like wasting my time when I write long posts... .-. I did that much when I registered, but then I realized that it wasn't that necessary. There are many one liners here... I wish they'd all get warnings. ._." Besides, how come the forum survived though the rules were that strict? Ôo Did your "friend" bother you again? (It's been quite a while since your last VM... ^^""" I'm sorry ^^"") Hm, I thought the Phantom Fox was red... like a real fox Oo"" Was he really described as a gray fox? :/ I don't really remember, to be honest... But I was quite confused when I saw the pic. (Though it's drawn nicely :3 I wish I was able draw~) Do you already work as a firefighter? :3 Or are you doing anything else? Sorry again for making you wait that long... I'll TRY to answer a bit faster next time. .-.
Heh, well, anything you could teach me would be appreciated, I'm sure. Particularly if one day, I got lost out in the German countryside. At the very least, you could teach me "Crazy foreigner needs help!" Heh. Also, I think learning a new language and being able to teach it are probably two different things entirely. Are you going to school just to learn it or also to teach it? I'd imagine probably to teach it, seeing as you're devoting so much effort to it, eh? Well, if it depends on what you mean by the use of "a." I kind of pronounce God with an "ah" in the middle. As in "Say ah!" "Aaaahh..." And believe you me, I made good grades by writing me som bs. Particularly in my literature and humanities classes, heh. (Visiting TFF all the time probably helped that, too; particularly when I first joined, one liners were seriously frowned upon, and could result in warnings.) Yeah, I think he's really thick-skulled. Although he's been bothering my other friends more than me lately. Which kinda makes me feel bad, like I passed him off on them or something, but they've told me not to worry. Haven't seen or really heard from him since the Saturday before last, a little while at church. Oh well, heh. I've drawn them, yeah. I haven't uploaded any of them though, that I recall. I commissioned someone else to draw the Phantom Fox once, though. Here it is if you'd like to look at it. I think she did a really good job, though he's a bit taller and thinner than I normaly draw him. Also, the swords should be under his jacket, though I wasn't specific enough about that in my description. Maybe sometime soon, I'll upload some of my drawings of those characters. Went to Salem today, found the place where I'll take the wildlands firefighting courses. It's over the weekend, too, and I have to get up early... eh... but it's worth it (damn it XD) Have fun at Uni! Good luck staying awake for those first few days when the prof. is introducing you to the course... Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
I don't actually think about what I'm gonna write, I'm just writing it. xP But I need a few days to be motivated. Lately my life's been a bit... boring. So I need my time to get up and do something. ^^" I don't know how to teach German, either! XD But I could at least try. ^^ I'd probably try to teach you too much at first, but perhaps it'd work. :3" (I don't even know how to teach English, though I'm studying it... damn XD) Don't lie to me, my dear. I'm sure you don't speak that damn Oxford English. There has to be at least a tiny sound of an "a" in your "God" <.< No, seriously, I don't think EVERYONE in the US pronounces words like we learn it, but after hearing many Americans.. I'm pretty sure most of them do. At least a bit. You need to know how to write essays. Like: Writing bullshit, but sounding like you know everything. I always get a few points through just writing what comes to my mind. ^^" Some of it is right, at least. And if you know at least a bit, you can still talk about the topic. :3 Really... a great friend... :/ Sounds like he's not very polite (or just does as if he is). :/ Unfortunately, I don't know anything I could tell you. Like: "If you do THAT, it'll be better." ._." Maybe ignoring him or being harsher will just solve everything. I can't think of more. :/ You really draw your characters? oo Have you ever drawn the ones I read about in your book? I'd really like to see how you imagine those characters! ^_^ As I said.. I can't draw. XD" And I'll look at your comics... soon. I hope I won't forget it. >.<" Kick me if I forget it again. XD Spring Break's over now. On Wednesday, I'll finally go to uni again *_*" I can't wait for it... Finally some meaning in my boring life again.. xD"
It's all good. Don't feel like you have to write me back right away. I'm not even sure why I do it; it'd probably be best to sit on the message and think about what I'd like to say before responding, anyway. I would have to learn some German, I think. Preferably before I came over, but you could help me with it more once I got over there. My German-born friend says she doesn't know what to teach me, and claims she doesn't really know that much anyway. Eh. Who says "Gad?" That sounds like an East Coast accent. I assure you that over here on the West Coast, we're boring, and say "God." I think the reason I was seeing Bioshock when my eyes were closed is because I spent like 8+ hours playing it the night I beat it. Stayed up until like 4 or 5 in the morning, then went to church the next morning at 11... heh. Y'know how when items you can pick up are shining in that game? Well, I saw the game in a kind of shining silhouette like that. The gun your character would be holding in front of him, pipes on the walls, etc., had that shining outline. I don't remember why or who said it, but someone said that the majority of the answers are usually "C." And eh. *shrug* I dislike fill in the blank questions more, because if you have no idea, you don't get that 1 in 4 chance of guessing correctly, heh. Although true/false questions are probably the best. Or short essay portions, because it gives you room to bs and at least get some points. Yeah, this kid is an interesting character... he rubs all my other friends the wrong way, too. We've come to the conclusion that he's trying too hard to be liked, and he has a skewed idea of what will make people like him, so his problem is two fold. I half think there's something wrong with him in the head, so that gives me greater cause to pity him. But I think you're right, and I have been harsher with him recently. See, there's this church service I've been taking him to, and he always expects to carpool with me. This weekend, I wasn't going to be at my house before church, so he couldn't ride with me from there. First of all, he didn't ask if he was getting a ride; he said "so 5:30, the usual time?" And I was like, "I'm not gonna be home, actually." And he's like, "So where should we meet?" And I said, "There?" And he texts back, "The church?!" And was like "Yes." Had he pushed it any further, I'd probably have gotten a little mean in my next response, but he didn't. He drove to the church on his own, so good for him. And no, he hasn't driven me anywhere, heh... He does offer me some of his snacks every time he has something, though. And everyone else around him. Kinda thrusts it in your face and says, "Want some?" In a kind of put-offish way that makes you wonder if he expects something in return. Well, I hear it helps to keep some sort of journal, and write random crap in it. Maybe I should do that, too. The drawing is kind of like that for me, though; at least some vague ideas for events in the story are put down in drawn format, sometimes. Or what the charcters look like. And the more you draw, the more you get better. At one time, I was terrible. Now... I dunno. I started a thread with a link to one of my "comics" in the art forum, so check it out, and you be the judge (if you'd like, and have the time.) Well, enjoy the rest of your Spring Break, lady. As for myself, I am late to choir practice. Whoops. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Sorry for writing back that late. ^^" A friend stayed over the weekend. (We were at that Anime convention... you've probably already read about it ^^") And yesterday I really didn't want to see anyone or write to anyone... I'll probably tell you about that one day... when I've dealt with it... ^^" Yeah, it'd really be great if you came over to Germany *_*~ I'd really like to meet you, that'd be an adventure for me as well. ^^ Then I still have to train my speaking skills until you come. I wouldn't call it a game... but I'm an addict, that's for sure ._." Ever since I know how the differences in British and American English, I only speak American English on purpose. xP I mean, did you know that you say "Gad" instead of "God"? XD I found that pretty interesting and I can't say "God" anymore, it always comes out as "Gad" ^^" (Actually... I like that word most XD) You saw things when you closed your eyes after playing Bioshock? O.o What the heck did you see?! XD" (I only played Bioshock 2... at least I played for about... 15 minutes? ^^"") Multiple Choice isn't that easy. ^^"" It's just annoying. Mostly because you have four options. Each one of them sounds exactly like the other three. And only one is right. And you have to read every f-ing word to know which one is right. <.<" I'd rather like to write down everything I know instead of just having a reading comprehension. <_<" Why "C"? O.o But I'll keep that in mind and blame YOU if I don't pass my MC tests XD Sounds like a really annoying friend... :/ But I understand you... completely. I know how hard it is to tell anyone what you really think, especially if the person really likes you. >.<" It's always hard for me when some guy falls in love with me... then I normally try to be the greatest asshole in the whole wide world so that their feelings cease to exist. It hasn't worked even ONCE so far. ^^" So maybe you could try to be a bit more.. harsh towards him. :/ I know it's not as easy as it seems, but it's worth a try. When you continue to do anything for him (because you pity him), then he'll never stop using you. (Yes, it seems to me that he's only using you. ^^" I mean, he wants you to drive him and then you have to wait for him?! O.o" That's not how it should be. Does he do that for you, too?) I'd really like to draw something instead of writing something... but I can't draw at all. ^^" So I don't know if it feels better to draw something. xD" And I still have to write two stories for other people... meh... I've no clue what to write ._." (I've some ideas, but nothing more so far ^^") Spring Break ^^ Pupils had Easter Break the last two weeks. But students have Spring Break. But there's only one week left. So, by next week, my life will be interesting again XD"
I dunno if my bosses knew; they were both brand new, apparently, and we were a different department than the one my bro worked in. Then again, they might've known anyway. We also have cousins who work there, so *shrug* Yeah, it would be a year if I worked there. I'd also still be really excited to go. It'd be an ADVENTURE! I'd get to meet you, as well. That'd be cool, eh? Yeah, intro classes are generally pretty cookie-cutter. Sounds like phonetics became akin to an addictive game for you though, eh? Like Tetris. Did you see words getting transcribed when your eyes were closed? Heheh. The game Bioshock actually had that effect on me recently... Wow, but you hate multiple choice? Is it because it's too easy, or something? The right answer is always "C," lady! Speaking of annoying people... there's this kid I used to hang out with every once in a while like 12 years ago, who's moved back, and I'm the only person he knows around here... He talks too much. I know that I type a lot when I talk to you, but if it were him in text format, you could probably expect at least twice as much, about the most inane things imaginable. Everything has to be commented on. Also, you can't just ignore him, because he demands your attention pretty much. He also has strange expectations of us: one time, I was sitting in the living room, and he asked me to go into the kitchen to grab his bread for him whilst he carried his soup. He couldn't just get it once he'd set the soup down? Also, another time, he had me drive him back from his misuse appointment, because he'd be "too relaxed to drive himself." He also had me waiting for a half hour after he was supposed to come out. Unfortunately, he has my roommates' phone numbers, as well. We're all annoyed with him, but the ones he contacts the most-my roommates and I-are generally too nice to tell him to F off (although I'm getting better at this, I think. I have a threshold for annoying behavior, which he as about exceeded.) I feel bad now for introducing my roommates to him. Then again, I also feel bad for him, because I'm the only person he knows out here... Anyway, sorry. Had to vent. Yeah, when writer's block sets in, it's hard to overcome. Writing something every day would probably help... but the times I remember to, I don't feel like it, or something, heh. Been drawing a bit more lately, though. Drawing is easy to do, somehow, and I feel less embarrassed about it if it's bad, and more accomplished that I drew something at all than if I wrote something at all. So it's your Spring break right now? Or is it called Easter break over there? Well, happy times regardless! And thank you for liking my long messages Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
They also fired your brother? Ôo" Did they know he was your brother? Could it be that this was one of the reasons they fired you? Sounds like that, to be honest... Half a day's drive is much Oo" I wouldn't have done it, to be honest. Don't they ever come nearer to your hometown? :/ But it would be awesome if that worked... At least you'd have a job for... a year, wasn't it? Hmm... no, I think nothing interesting. Even American Literature was boring ._." (Okay, it was an introduction course, what did I expect? They just told me what I already know about literature <<") Grammar was boring as well. Phonetics was kinda interesting. But only because I got a good grade (didn't expect it to be THAT good, actually ^^") aaand of course because I transcribe EVERY SINGLE WORD I HEAR since writing that damn exam <<""" For example, driving in my car, singing along with a song and then, in my head, transcribing the lyrics <<"" That's quite annoying sometimes, but on the other hand... it's fun Maths was okay, but damn hard. .-." And psychology was the worst. <_<" We had to do multiple choice exams. And I f-ing HATE multiple choice! >_<" Reminds me on the student strike back in October... xD""" Yeah, so basically, that's what they must have done: Striking because the world's so unfair And then cry because of the bad grades, saying that it was all unfair ^^ I won't ever tell anyone that I don't like him/her. ._." I can't do that ._." Sadly... I know exactly how you feel about your book. ^^" About a month ago I dropped the last book I wanted to write, too. I didn't have any motivation to write anymore, though I planned it through to the end. And I have so many ideas in my head, but I write none of them down... :/ Didn't I mention that I have holidays? ^^ No uni for me at the moment~ ^^ And I like your long messages :3~
