Hahaha, yeah, I haven't been active here, lately. xD I've got stuff to take care elsewhere~ And I'm Asian and born somewhere else, but I still watch the fireworks. ^_~ Thankies! Hope you have a great Fourth of July, too!
You're too quiet here lately... What's up, pup? Hope your summer is going good, and happy almost 4th of July!
Naw, he's gaining a few more points every day because of our Koalition. xD Hahaha, well, still a long ways to go for me, though. Although, this girl is wonderful at graphics, and she's only fifteen. Heh-heh, I like the squares, too. =D And yep, I did sharpen the image of Sync, but I didn't oversharpen like in my more vivid avatars. Naw, don't worry, I just wanted to show you; plus I'm too lazy to make further edits. xD YOU CAN DO IT! BEAT THE GAME!
The kitty is getting a pretty good lead. If he does eventually fall, then we're at least putting up a good fight! Oh cool. Glad you're still picking up new techniques. At this rate, you won't have any competition at all when TFF has contests. I like what you've done with this avy. Nice color scheme, and I dig the use of the square shapes in the corner! Are you still using the sharpening technique that you used before? It's kind of hard to critique your work any further at the moment. My eyes are kind of shot from playing some PS3. I'm sooo close to beating FF XIII!
OMG, I didn't see this! >< The kitty must win! And hey, guess what? A girl gave me some great tips on avatars, so I made one based on her style; I quite like this style, heehee! xD It's the one I have on right now, but here's the full size if you only see the one in our conversation:
Yarrrr!!! Heh.. Yep. I got the PM that asked me to help with the cause. Don't know if I'll stick with it, but it would be pretty funny if the cat wound up winning the game. xD
Oh, come on, Dodie~ I wouldn't eliminate you! <3 Heh-heh, thankies, thoguh! ^.^ I'll probably vote for Kyle every single time, though. =P
Nah. I figured it would be more fun to be an obliterator than watching my numbers gradually decrease. Besides, I'm not giving you and "Nova" the satisfaction of eliminating me! Good luck to you both though.
OMG, Dodie, you need to sign up for the elimination! 8D
Oh, then that's not so bad. I thought you messed up in front of a bunch of people. I actually can't remember the last time I prayed... I'm a terrible person. I used to not like it either, but I noticed a big difference since using it, and now I think it's not so bad. There's some kinds that don't feel so oily on your lips, but I suppose you still get a feeling that something is there. Heh... I get a bunch of lotion every year for Christmas, and I just have a whole drawer of it stockpiled because I hardly use the stuff. I prefer baby oil. It smells the best, and it seeps into my skin much better than lotion. Woah.. Do you guys recycle those bottles? Spam Hell... That's what we should call the new H/WG forum if the admins wind up moving it out of Gen. Chat. xD Heh... I don't really bother with forum affairs either. I'll sometimes add in my two cents if I feel that one part of the issue is becoming too one-sided, but overall, I'm here to have fun, and drama isn't my idea of fun. (Oh, that stuff. Yeah, I like those episodes where they take a look at historical events and put their own twist on it.) Favicons? Looks like you're right, though I'm pretty sure part of the reason is that Boulder used to be "Hippie Haven", and that marijuana that they smoked can really make you happy (not that I would know first hand about that. Never touched the stuff). I think Meier is really the only mod that's against it's deletion, some of the others are kind of lukewarm about the idea, or they want it gone. Exactly. Don't worry about what others think of what you wanna do...within reason. Of course, there are circumstances where people feel the need to step in because they feel the person is hurting themselves, but that doesn't apply to your particular situation. Haven't you heard of the phrase "Kill 'em with kindness"? Yeah, it can be hard to do, but if you can manage it, the outcome is vastly more rewarding than bickering all the time. It either makes them come around or drives them crazy...and either way will be a win/win for you.
Naw, actually, I remember now. It was a prayer, and it was just me silently at night before I went to sleep. We always pray before we go to sleep, but apparently, I've forgotten to do so for the last three years... ^_^" Oopsies. But it was pretty funny because when I ended with the second prayer, i was like, "Huh, I must be pretty fast with praying." XD Then I realized later. I don't like chap stick, so that's why. << I could never bear the feeling on my lips; it seemed strange to have it. Like lotion. I hate lotion. v.v Hey, my family drinks so much water! xD We're lazy, so we buy the packs of bottled water, and every day, there are like ten~fifteen empty bottles laying around (from just my siblings and me). I'm also incredibly whiny, but no one needs to know. ^_^" Yeah, I didn't get much sleep then at all. It was horrible! =O Am, and yesh, I lead the forum to Spam Hell! xD The funny thing is that my post-whoring contributed to my being one. =P But I decided to help aorund the palce, too, with ideas, graphics, all that~ Yep, it was gone by the time I came back after having left for a long time, too. =3 I'm actually braver back then, but now I don't get myself into forum affairs, anymore. Thankies, though I don't think I was the main reason it was vanquished. x3 (Like the one where Lisa is Sacagawea and they tell the story of Lewis and Clark, or when Milhouse is Moses in the Bible. xD They have light humor, which is more funny than the Family Guy stuff. =P) Now to try making favicons for my other other. >< 16 x 16 is so small. >> I'll source you, anyway! xD Survey says Boulder happiest place in U.S. - The Denver Post I think parties...? Yeah, that's what I figured the complaint was about, too. But hey, I think we have a mod or two supporting the H/WG forum, so I don't fear its deletion. Yep, I'm youngest. =3 And I've decided long ago that whether anyone thinks it's their responsibility to be nosy about my life or not, it's still my life and I'll live it how I want! =D Heh-heh, how can I be angelic when she's not? ^_~ Just for the record...SHE STARTED IT! =O (I think? Loool.) Oh, it's really interesting and cool! =)
Yeah... That's the worst time to forget things... Did anyone notice about the prayer/poem though? Yeah... It sucks. Anyway, I have a bad lip-biting habit too, but chap stick is helping with that a lot. I'm also drinking more water and staying pretty well hydrated. It makes my skin less flaky, which stops the urge to bite. Hope you're feeling better. Heh.. You remind me of myself a little bit when I get sick. I am miserable when I'm under the weather. Glad you didn't choke on that cough drop, though from the sounds of things, you didn't get much sleep anyway. Oh geez... You were moderator of a forum??? >.> Hahaha... Just kidding. Mod-favoritism? I haven't really seen any of that going on here since I've been a member, nor have I seen a lot of newbie targeting, so maybe everything got taken care of! Good job! Thumbs up for you! d(^-^)b But seriously, if I would have seen that going on, I probably wouldn't have stuck around for very long. Good on ya for putting up with it and helping to make this a better forum for everyone! (Random facts? I don't think I've really seen episodes that had those, but I do know that there's jabs at pop culture and stuff. ) No problem. Glad you found something you could use. Source that info please. Nah, I believe you. Wonder what you guys have in the water to make everyone so happy? xD People want the Gen. Chat to be more general, and are mainly upset that most of the more spammy gen. chat threads wind up in H/WGs... Least that's what I gathered about the whole thing. Ah.. Family troubles... I know a bit about that. You are the youngest, right? It's hard being the "baby" of the family...but keep doing what makes you happy, and take their criticisms in stride. It's good to rant too. You don't want to keep that kind of stuff bottled up inside you. And yeah, you told me about your sister before. Sounds like she really likes to boss you around, though I bet you aren't so angelic to her either. Ah, okay. Just wondering. Though I've never heard of Shaman King before. May have to give that a look-see.
I can't ever seem to remember the important stuff on tests, which is baaad. >> And God, one time, I ended up reciting some poem or prayer or verse or whatever, and I ended up finishing with the words to a different one... << What? Five months and it still hasn't returned? =O Actually, now that you mention it, my lip does seem to be getting a bit dry and bleeding, but I think maybe it's because I tear at my lip sometimes? ^_^" I don't know whether that's the salt or me, though. It was horrible, since all I could do was lay down. If I moved, it hurt, and if I coughed (which I had to), it hurt, too. I slept all night with a cough drop in my mouth. Hahaha, actually, there were only four of us going back and forth spamming, two of us (myself and another girl) who were mods, in fact. XD That's when you know it's all right to spam. =P Tell me about it; when I first signed up, there was a ton of drama, too, and myself, I caused some drama with older members targeting newbies (which I called them out on, being a newbie myself) while mod-favoritism was going on, too. (I love the random facts that The Simpsons give you, even though half of them aren't true. x3 Plus they're humor usually isn't racist/sexist/et cetera like Family Guy. >> I can't stand most of those jokes, to be honest.) Ooh, a new site! =D Thankies~ Just looked at the frist few, and they have some really good ones that I can imagine using as backgrounds already. ^.^ Hey, we're home to Boulder, America's happiest city, it's been stated. ^_~ I support keeping the H/WG forum, though. I don't really see a problem with it; to me, it's General Chat that's being the problem here. It's annoying because my sisters and dad have always called me out for being a guy and not liking to be active as much as gaming. >> It's gotten to the point where it's so stupid and repetitive that my oldest sister is like, "You don't like sports? What are you, a woman?" Honestly, most of the things she's said, I've viewed as "sexist" in some ways since her mind is really narrow and oblivious to how the "real world" actually works. (Not joking) And then when I talk back, she calls me out for that, too, and says how only girls talk back. << (This sounds familiar. Have I told you about this before?) Anyway, yeah, I accepted that I was a gamer way long ago. =P Plus I could care less if I don't like sports or if anyone even cares; my friends sure don't, so I have no clue why my family does, when they say that that's against the normal people, when I'm more used to people than they are. [/rambling] XD Naw, I don't really watch anime. Though, the only one I remember watching is the entire Shaman King anime, when I used to like it a lot. It got really stupid in the English version, so I watched the Japanese one, from beginning to end.
Yeah. Too bad my brain is too old to really do much remembering. Seriously, I have to have a to-do list to keep me motivated and remember most things. Though I've always had problems with my memory... :/ Heh... I lost my voice back in December, and it still hasn't returned... It does indeed suck, and I wouldn't wish this on even my worst enemy. I must have been doing it wrong then, but when I spit it out, that's when most of it would be on my lips and dry them out. Can't say that I've ever pulled anything from coughing... I feel for you though. Pulled muscles are no fun, and when you have an involuntary response like coughing causing it, it's probably worse. Geez... 400 posts? Wonder if the mods had a hard time keeping up with it? I bet no one got out of line though, which is why I think people around here couldn't handle doing something like that. Don't know why, but it seems like this forum flourishes on drama. >.> Maybe I'm wrong though... Hope I am. (American Dad is decent. It's much better than Family Guy, but it's not better than the Simpsons. =D) I may have to look into a PS to GIMP program so I can DL some cool brushes I saw. dA is a good place, but I get mine from here: Creative Photoshop Brushes They have both PS and GIMP compatible brushes. =D That happens here sometimes, too, but I think Colorado just has a better atmosphere. :3 Can't believe people are so riled up over the H/WG forum. Don't know what happened with Silver though... I don't think those two instances are related, at least I hope not. Hehe... I've always liked gaming much more than sports. I used to think that I was weird because no one else my age that was a female was into the stuff I liked, but then I realized that I was just unique...and also still possibly weird. xD Btw, do you watch any anime or anything? I don't think I've ever read a post of yours talking about anything like that. Random question, I know, but I was just curious.
But random thoughts and memories are always fun to remember, hmm? =D Ouch, you lost your voice once? I talk too much in real life, so I don't think I'd be able to stand it if I ever lose my voice. I don't let the saltwater touch my lips much, really, since I pour in into my mouth and then quickly spit it out, so my lips are all right. But they're always a bit dry, anyway. ^_^" Last year, I pulled a muscle in my chest from coughing too hard, and it hurt so bad! =O I always found the views kind of confusing, since it sometimes went from one to zero rather spontaneously. =P Haha, I remember that thread. In the end, we got more replies than views, which was actually kind of cool since it shows how much people spam. xD On another forum I'm on, we spammed so much we got in four hundred posts in a couple of hours once. (I hate that show, and American Dad and all that. >> I like their new episodes, The Simpsons. =)) I get my brushes all from DeviantArt, since they have a really huge selection. Plus, I downloaded something that lets me export brushes, so I can download from any Photoshop version and have it work with my version. Yeah, the people here really are nice. You walk by someone you don't know, and they wave at you like they see you every day. Yeah, too much drama's been going on this past week. >> Oh, I hate playing with the competitive types, too. I don't play any sports, either, since I'm not competitive. That and I'm a gamer. ^_~
