Mr. Stuff, Eagle is the highest rank a Boy Scout can achieve. It's an honor and looks fantastic on any record or resume, and it takes very hard work to earn.
@yukora: congrats on the eagle rank! Thats quite a accomplishment and great job yukora!
@mamelon: thanks mamelon and i wish you well to today at work. *hugs*
@ryan: its great to see you again and take care.
Well i just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone. I am tired again so i probably wont make the coffeehouse chat tonight since i probably will have to go to bed at least two hours earlier then i did last night. I have early work tommorrow and i basically came in an hour earlier today and again i was the only courtesy clerk for about 18 hours straight at the store so far then another courtesy clerk finally came in just an hour and a half later after i showed up he was suppose to come in at 7am but instead he showed up around 11:45am right before noon. Im glad i got an extra hour and will continue to be consistent at working in the grocery store.
See you all soon! Ill probably post later tonight and if anyone wants to chat with me ill be on aol and msn messengers. See you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses to everyone! Have a safe and happy weekend everyone!
Love,
Cecilia

Ball Lightning - Walking card disadvantage. At the end of the turn, you sacrifice this, and they didn't lose a single card as a result. Also, only noobs tap out before the combat phase.
Lion's Eye Diamond - The black sheep of the Mirage diamond cycle; for some reason this one makes you discard your entire hand. And then you mana burn for three. If you're going to take three, you should at least get a Serpent Warrior out of it.
Sporogenesis - I can't think of anything really bad to say about this card, but is "fungus" the only thing that's both a counter name and a creature type? That might be a good trivia question.
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir - This card costs way too much to be a good suprise blocker. Stick with Ashcoat Bear. (Did you know that Meddling Mage was excluded from the timeshifted set for hosing suspend too badly?)
Cursed Scroll - For 4 mana, you can do 2 damage. Maybe. And it's not a surprise. And you're all showing things from your hand all the time. With its fun bluffing element, this is a fun card for casual, but that's the only place where it belongs. (On a more serious note, does anyone -really- bluff with this card? It seems like pretending to have a counterspell or whatever is seldom worth a scroll activation. Plus this card is only good for bluffing if you have more than one thing in your hand.)
Lol. Nice ways to look at those cards Joyd
I actually agree with the Scroll one. I know it's recurring damage, but so what? Lightning bolt is more fun... Just to tap R and say SMASH FOR 3!!!! CRUSHED!!!!
2nd: Is that infraction the 1st EVER in the coffeehouse? If so, 1 year infraction free, then on the 1st day of the second year....
3rd: and most importantly: I have been getting to the point of thinking my username is fairly fanboy'ish'. This name was used because, and you may have noticed this, I am not the most creative of persons. I am beginning to get bored with it and was wondering if y'all could come up with a new name for me. Then I could go and ask Les' nicely and see what he says
Thanks people
I think your screen name should either be Omna14, Omna16, or Mo'nique.

2nd: Is that infraction the 1st EVER in the coffeehouse? If so, 1 year infraction free, then on the 1st day of the second year....
Technically, yes. But, on the old system, someone received a warning, which is functionally the same as an infraction.
Jack has also been suspended as per the auto-suspension rules.
Sephiroth, go with something that means a lot to you. Or, just get the sephiroth out. i think Owa would look nice, and it's simple. Simple is always great.
YO. Good to see everyone making their appearances in the clan. I know I kid, but I'm glad to have this place around.
@Sephy: I'll be honest. Your screen name is fanboyish. I don't really mind it, but if you want to change it you could always go with a nickname friends call you by or something like that.
In all seriousness, I think Ball Lightning has been shown up by itself. Groundbreaker is a great aggro card in a color that can handle triple-colored mana cost, plus Evolution Charm can help it out with evasion AND recursion. Booyah.
I do hope you take the ulcer seriously, though. Even if it turns out not to be the problem, you need to let go a little on not take on everyone else's problems all the time.
Aarg, I'm still getting the "unknownHost" exception when I try to connect to the chat, both with mIRC and the java applet. Frustrating.
Anyway, this is what I've been working on for the past hour or so. It needs a *lot* of work to be finished. As of right now Lettuce is the only one who is near done, and I still have to add a whole 'nother character to it. Well, anyway - the theme for the weekly contest this week is "animals", and you have to create a wallpaper. Here is my Tokyo Mew Mew wall so far:
Thanks for the sympathy, but I really posted that with this intentionI am so happy right now it's not even funny. For the past few months, I was under the impression that I was completely out of time, and there was no way I was going to get Eagle. Which, after all the work I've done in scouts, I was devastated. Then, out of no where, I get that call. This is a great day for me.
Congratulations, duder! Great to see that you got something you worked hard for, and clearly deserve.
As for ulcers, please take care of yourself. That isn't a laughing matter and hopefully this one will be your last.
I won't press the issue since its already been taken care of, but what was that removed link to? You can PM me or whatever to keep it off the forums.
Anyway, I'm glad to be home and relax a bit. How was everyone's day today? Mine was the usual hustle-and-bustle of being by myself.
@Mr. Stuff: That banner looks pretty good so far. But why must you tempt me with catgirls? Oh, the temptation!
If anyone wants to chat, feel free to IM me or whatever. I'll see if I can post a few more times before I go to bed. I feel like I should get more involved with the Coffeehouse.
Tempt You? ROFL. Repectively, they are a cat-girl, bird-girl, porpoise-girl, monkey-girl, and wolf-girl. It's from a show where they draw their powers from being infused with the DNA of an endangered animal. One of those mahou shoujo kinda things (aka "the Sailor Moon genre").
Just got to episode 22-23 of Blood+... and they FINALLY explain Saya's past somewhat. Thank goodness. I was wondering when they were gonna do that. The show just keeps getting better and better after the first season.
Ok, now it's really time for bed. Seriously. I promise.

Oh, ok. My mistake. I seen one and then my mind goes blank.
The series itself sounds interesting to say the least. I'll see about adding it to the list of anime you gave me before. Which I still have to start getting.
I do hope you take the ulcer seriously, though. Even if it turns out not to be the problem, you need to let go a little on not take on everyone else's problems all the time.
Thanks man
I must admit, though, that is one of the hardest things in the world for me to do. I hate seeing the people I care about hurting, and I always do my best to ease their pain.
@SDA, Thanks for the congrats, and don't worry, I'll be fine.
Sorry for the delay folks. Coffeehouse: The Waffle Iron Chronicles, the collection of Geek Mp3s, divided into 4 CDs of goodness, will be released sometime tomorrow or this weekend.
Regular of the Week would've been nicer on the Clanniversary, but it can wait just the same.
Well, kids, I did finally get my spicy chicken and ice cream. Yahoo.
@Yukora: I hope you can get your ulcer taken care of before it becomes worse. Seriously, it's a grave matter, and I hope you do what you need to do to deal with it.
And not to make light of that problem, but many congratulations on achieving your Boy Scout Rank. That's quite an achievment, I'm glad that you're pleased.
@Shadowfox: As I told you, you do indeed look very cute with the new haircut. Not to say you weren't cute before.
@Kevin: Have a good day at work. Tell us all about it when you get back.

All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
I know I haven't been going online these past few days. My mom, brother, cousins and uncles have been worried about me lately. They noticed I was irritable, I was getting thinner, and that my eyesight has gone from bad to worse. They noticed that I also complained that my eyes and head hurt frequently. One day I took their advice to go to a doctor. He said my vitals are fine, but my mind wasn't, so he told me to visit my psychologist. Yes, I have one. I've been going to one since I was a freshman high school student.
We had a three-hour talk. I talked about my hobbies and interests, my troubles and my sorrows. We also talked about my online relationship and my gender preference. As I was talking to him, I realized some things which he later expounded after I talked. Here are our conclusions.
One, I am not bisexual. I thought I was, and he cleared that out. I'm not. I had a deep appreciation for girls because of the simple fact that I am indeed a girl. I asked him why I like to be around girls, and he answered because I always hang out with guys, and sometimes crave for a girl's company. He asked me if I dream of girls having sex with me or something like that. I said no, I told him I give my undue respect for girls and that just thinking about having sex with them is not right as two circles don't fit. And there was my answer.
I'm straight.
This leads me to my decision to break up with Sakura, even though this is hurting me right now. We just want different things. We have the same plans but we want different outcomes. My studies are really important in my life and I want to succeed. I'm sorry, but I love my studies more than I love you.
My mom also found out about us, and she has banned me from talking to you and even going to MTGSalvation. She is still allowing me to go to the internet, but not to this site. Sorry. If I can only say this to you in reality, but I can't. And about my mom, even though she's nuts, I still obey her because for the simple reason that she is my mother and I don't want to have any friction with her.
Two, I'm becoming agorophobic. My workplace right now is actually located next door. The mall I go to is a two-minute ride from my house. In short, I don't go out that much anymore. I need to get out, discover places. I want to run around. I don't blame this site; I blame myself, hence I must quit posting in MTGSalvation.
Three, I'm losing weight and getting sick. I hardly eat and sleep. I'm getting slow on my badminton moves and getting sloppy on my work ethics. All of these happen just because I'm getting sick.
So there. I just want to tell all of you this. I wasn't online because I was looking for the right words to say that I'm quitting salvation. I'm not blaming any of you. In fact I've made the best of friends here. Soul_Grind, Zero_Toleren3, Kakuwinki, Sakura, Sha, and more. But all good things must come to an end. I'd like to thank all of you for talking to me, giving me a job as a banner designer, loving me for who I am, and trading recipes with me. It's really hard for me to say goodbye, since I feel that I've made a family out of you guys, but I have to go. College life is hard and I dream big. If I were still in high school I wouldn't make this decision, but now that I'm growing up I have to face the music that I cannot post anymore as I've turned into a lazy slob.
I'm enrolling fully to the Ateneo soon (mind you, the Ateneo is hard to get in and harder to get out), and there will be a freshman orientation seminar next month. I will have to choose my subjects and teachers, and I will have to invest on friends. Also, I have to start studying for basic college math, since I have a hard time in that subject. I will be very busy too, as I am still attending Spanish class and driving lessons. I am continuing my badminton training because I dream to be part of the Philippine Badminton Team.
This decision was mine and not forced upon me. I was given a choice and I have chosen. I will ask one of the moderators if it is possible that they delete my account. It is up to them if they will also delete my posts, but I think that is probable. I will still stop by, but only as a guest, to check on rumors. Since a guest cannot see the clans, I will miss out on many conversations. I will also stop by Exalted Studios and the Weekly Contests to see what masterpieces they've done.
It's for the best, and I'm doing this because I am mature enough to understand what I am becoming into. I hope that this decision of mine will not hurt anyone entirely. I may sound very selfish right now, but I'm noticing the changes that are happening to me. And they are not good, and I'm becoming really unhealthy. I must cure myself first, and it will be years until I can come back here. I will be back, but I will make my reappearance in due time. For now I will have to face my academic commitments. And therapy.
Thank you all for everything. Receiving infractions was indeed a good hobby. Now I must go.
I know I don't talk here often...I just wanted her to see this...
Dear Myta,
Well, I know you said don't contact you, but I couldn't help it. This is so very sudden. I don't know where to start. I think you are a great person and were a great friend. You were a total confidence booster to me as I made my first public banners for you and it actual kept me to continue doing what I was doing. Wow, so you are really done. Awful news....though I am happy that you have your priorities straight, and you are a very mature women. I never knew that side about you or even your personal life. I wish we had talked more or got to know eachother more. Though, I guess that is how everyone feels when your friend is leaving indefinitely. I am so proud of you, even for the minute time that I knew you, that you can realize these things that are happening in your life. It is sometimes hard to balance everyday life in a society and generation full of cyber cafes, messageboards, and blogs, but to actual realize it and step back from it all and see that you actually can't handle it all right now is great. Don't be ashamed by that. More people go through this, then you would think. I only talk to a select few on this board anymore and that is only those who work in our shop. Unfortunately, now there is one less person in the shop to talk to and even though, the space is empty you will always be in my heart and always have a place here at Exalted Studios for no one can replace my cute, little, Myta Mai Mai. I wish you good luck and my love in your journey.
Sorry to see you go, Mytamaimai.. Best of luck to you in your endeavors.
and for the 100th post to Strongbad!
Now I need to do some work...
I slip back into my old patterns way too easily.... Its letting Ryan go when he needs to go.... Its not that he's asking me to change too much... This is a real problem, and I for some reason, have become so ingrained in my pattern of 'not letting go', because of my own insecurities... Is there anything you have done or can suggest for me to keep in mind when I am trying to let go of him (as in, when he needs to go home, or go to sleep or whatever...) , in order to help me not deal with my fear in that way? Any helpful hints???
One thing that heartened me is a cool thing that I've been getting in my email that is personalized positive messages says:
"Of all your lives, Danica, do you know which ones you'll look back on with the fondest memories, the most pride, and widest grin?
The ones where in spite of challenges, no matter how daunting, difficult or even painful, you pressed on."
Damn straight. I need to learn how to let him go when life and other things call. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Hi guys Im back!!! WHAT?? No People Again? Sigh* Im workin nightshift today in the coffeehouse. Anyone care to join me? I just slept. And 5 Pages have popped out..Sigh* I wish I could be on your timezones..
It kind of depends on when people feel like changing around the place in which they are posting. It usually happens when there are so many posts that it is ridiculously hard to keep track of them, and people just want a fresh start. Here at the coffeehouse, we kind of end of having a fresh start when we've beaten some record or another, or on a special day like today, the one year anniversary!
As for the regular vs casuals: Over the course of time, it becomes fairly obvious who regularly comes in and makes a post. Doesn't need to be daily, but often enough and well enough so that they contribute in a meaningful way when they do post.
I'll try, we'll see. It becomes daunting after a while of not being here
Thanks for noticing the movie here. People will be around for most of the day, so don't feel like you're missing out. It won't take too long to catch up here, surprisingly enough... well, not when you've only gone to bed and woken up
Eventhough Im new here, Ill always be a regular. I saw your video. It rocks! I wish I can have some unique video soemtime.
Yo, new thread. I'm just stopping in today; been staying away from Salvation for the last few days due to some things. First of all, working on mechanics for Unnamed. Second, playing FF12. Third, avoiding some people/situations that make me violent. So yeah =)
Im goin so start my FF12 soon after I finished up some things. If I missed out something I should talk these things with you ate the Natural20 thread.
The [Magic Coffeehouse] Official Soundtrack will be posted sometime today.
Regular of the Week will be posted today.
Still don't like using Omna's account for post #2
I always love to post here Alacar. The thing is, can I have a chance to be on this prize? For me it sounds impossible, whenever im awake, no one is here. whenever im asleep, the fun starts..Sigh* I wish I can be regular of the week someday. Anyway I love the multiquote button you told me.
I wouldn't mind visiting the P. I. right about now. Hang out with oscar tan, eat fresh caught tuna and bibinka malakit, go beachcombing and sailing, etc. You can visit baltimore in exchange, and have rain, cold, gridlock traffic, open gang warfare, and $5.50-a-pack cigarettes.
WOw, you know bibinka???
@Myta: I understand. But please visit here some time. You are my only co-filipino here that could talk with me often in nightshift. Ill miss you.
Best wishes in your future endeavors, Myta. You'll be missed. And not just by your lonely compatriot. It sounds like you are a born female warrior, and you need to give yourself time to fit into your own skin and discover your strengths. I understand the need to take some time away and take charge of your life. We will still miss you.
Off to work, later coffeepeople, save me a poppy seed muffin!
@myta: Well i am sorry to see you go as well and goodluck to you in your studies and take care!
@snoop: have a good day at work! Don't work too hard.
@mamelon: I sure will tell you all about my work when i come back today. I Have another 8.5 hour shift today. Im glad i have tommorrow and sunday off though. See you soon marmalade! *hugs* Have a great day at work as well.
@yukora: I really hope you take care of your ulcer before it gets worse.:( Best wishes to you in your future goals!
Well its 6:12am right now and im going to get ready for work pretty soon. Ill be back mid to late afternoon though so ill see you all then. Have a great day everyone and take care! *hugs and blows kisses*
Im all alone again here..I think im now seein my custom title after 1000 posts..Sigh* I wish I could be in your timezones really. Its kinda lonely in here when everyone is not yet coming. By the time I sign out and sleep then all of you guys would rush in and post a bazilion pages and after that I wake up then everyone is gone again after I read all of them. Now that Myta is gone im really all alone again..Oh well, after all Im here to take watch at the coffehouse at night. Im proud for being the nightwatch at the coffeehouse having the name of Hunter. My name fits for a man that guards something. And hunt for those who are trying to destroy the shop.
Im Also proud that it seems my sole purpose for this Shop is to take watch over it and its regulars at night. Ill be the one to greet Omna in the morning, make sure Mamelon is sleeping with her teddy bear, and many more. I think it will be my job in this Coffeehouse. Even though I always miss the 5-page fun, Im sure Ill be here watching over and securing the shop when everyone gets home after drinkin, talkin and huggin, cuddling and teasing. Maybe Ill go talk with myself or shuffle my deck.
As soon as everyone wakes up, I hope someone can appreciate. Ill be preparing the coffeehouse by arranging the tables and chairs, bringing the stocks and cleaning the place up for a pleasant new day.
Oh well, I really am happy bein here. Thanks guys. Goodmornin to all of you.
I went forum-hopping and so far this Mytamaimai pops up in several threads. Is... she that cool?
I checked her profile. She is. Well, whoever you are I salute you. Brave kid.
Anyway, might as well make formal introductions. You guys look fun to talk to.
Hi. I don't play magic that much, but I have a mean blue-white control-aggro deck with a consistent losing streak... and for some reason I don't really care. I'm into those cute anime like Magical Meow Meow Taruto and Princess Tutu. I photoshop a lot. Born a skatergal.
Yeah, anyway I made my introdcution thing over at the introduce yourself part. I'd like to stay in this clan though. Get to know a lot a people. Read stuff. Nice. You guys don't mind if I stick around?

If you like sports or sports betting and you want a chance to win free money, you will love it.
I do hope you take the ulcer seriously, though. Even if it turns out not to be the problem, you need to let go a little on not take on everyone else's problems all the time.
Indeed. And I'm an expert at this sort of thing.

My studies are really important in my life and I want to succeed. I'm sorry, but I love my studies more than I love you.
My mom also found out about us, and she has banned me from talking to you and even going to MTGSalvation. She is still allowing me to go to the internet, but not to this site. Sorry. If I can only say this to you in reality, but I can't. And about my mom, even though she's nuts, I still obey her because for the simple reason that she is my mother and I don't want to have any friction with her.
Two, I'm becoming agorophobic. My workplace right now is actually located next door. The mall I go to is a two-minute ride from my house. In short, I don't go out that much anymore. I need to get out, discover places. I want to run around. I don't blame this site; I blame myself, hence I must quit posting in MTGSalvation.
Three, I'm losing weight and getting sick. I hardly eat and sleep. I'm getting slow on my badminton moves and getting sloppy on my work ethics. All of these happen just because I'm getting sick.
So there. I just want to tell all of you this. I wasn't online because I was looking for the right words to say that I'm quitting salvation. I'm not blaming any of you. In fact I've made the best of friends here. Soul_Grind, Zero_Toleren3, Kakuwinki, Sakura, Sha, and more. But all good things must come to an end. I'd like to thank all of you for talking to me, giving me a job as a banner designer, loving me for who I am, and trading recipes with me. It's really hard for me to say goodbye, since I feel that I've made a family out of you guys, but I have to go. College life is hard and I dream big. If I were still in high school I wouldn't make this decision, but now that I'm growing up I have to face the music that I cannot post anymore as I've turned into a lazy slob.
I'm enrolling fully to the Ateneo soon (mind you, the Ateneo is hard to get in and harder to get out), and there will be a freshman orientation seminar next month. I will have to choose my subjects and teachers, and I will have to invest on friends. Also, I have to start studying for basic college math, since I have a hard time in that subject. I will be very busy too, as I am still attending Spanish class and driving lessons. I am continuing my badminton training because I dream to be part of the Philippine Badminton Team.
This decision was mine and not forced upon me. I was given a choice and I have chosen. I will ask one of the moderators if it is possible that they delete my account. It is up to them if they will also delete my posts, but I think that is probable. I will still stop by, but only as a guest, to check on rumors. Since a guest cannot see the clans, I will miss out on many conversations. I will also stop by Exalted Studios and the Weekly Contests to see what masterpieces they've done.
It's for the best, and I'm doing this because I am mature enough to understand what I am becoming into. I hope that this decision of mine will not hurt anyone entirely. I may sound very selfish right now, but I'm noticing the changes that are happening to me. And they are not good, and I'm becoming really unhealthy. I must cure myself first, and it will be years until I can come back here. I will be back, but I will make my reappearance in due time. For now I will have to face my academic commitments. And therapy.
Thank you all for everything. Receiving infractions was indeed a good hobby. Now I must go.
Thank you, sorry and goodbye.
Mytamaimai.
P.S. Do not contact me, please.

Dear Myta,
Well, I know you said don't contact you, but I couldn't help it. This is so very sudden. I don't know where to start. I think you are a great person and were a great friend. You were a total confidence booster to me as I made my first public banners for you and it actual kept me to continue doing what I was doing. Wow, so you are really done. Awful news....though I am happy that you have your priorities straight, and you are a very mature women. I never knew that side about you or even your personal life. I wish we had talked more or got to know eachother more. Though, I guess that is how everyone feels when your friend is leaving indefinitely. I am so proud of you, even for the minute time that I knew you, that you can realize these things that are happening in your life. It is sometimes hard to balance everyday life in a society and generation full of cyber cafes, messageboards, and blogs, but to actual realize it and step back from it all and see that you actually can't handle it all right now is great. Don't be ashamed by that. More people go through this, then you would think. I only talk to a select few on this board anymore and that is only those who work in our shop. Unfortunately, now there is one less person in the shop to talk to and even though, the space is empty you will always be in my heart and always have a place here at Exalted Studios for no one can replace my cute, little, Myta Mai Mai. I wish you good luck and my love in your journey.
Love,
Zero

and for the 100th post to Strongbad!
Now I need to do some work...
I slip back into my old patterns way too easily.... Its letting Ryan go when he needs to go.... Its not that he's asking me to change too much... This is a real problem, and I for some reason, have become so ingrained in my pattern of 'not letting go', because of my own insecurities... Is there anything you have done or can suggest for me to keep in mind when I am trying to let go of him (as in, when he needs to go home, or go to sleep or whatever...) , in order to help me not deal with my fear in that way? Any helpful hints???
One thing that heartened me is a cool thing that I've been getting in my email that is personalized positive messages says:
"Of all your lives, Danica, do you know which ones you'll look back on with the fondest memories, the most pride, and widest grin?
The ones where in spite of challenges, no matter how daunting, difficult or even painful, you pressed on."
Damn straight. I need to learn how to let him go when life and other things call. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Magic Coffeehouse!
Come in, sit down, relax, get to know somebody!

Best wishes in your future endeavors, Myta. You'll be missed. And not just by your lonely compatriot. It sounds like you are a born female warrior, and you need to give yourself time to fit into your own skin and discover your strengths. I understand the need to take some time away and take charge of your life. We will still miss you.
Off to work, later coffeepeople, save me a poppy seed muffin!
@snoop: have a good day at work! Don't work too hard.
@mamelon: I sure will tell you all about my work when i come back today. I Have another 8.5 hour shift today. Im glad i have tommorrow and sunday off though. See you soon marmalade! *hugs* Have a great day at work as well.

Im all alone again here..I think im now seein my custom title after 1000 posts..Sigh* I wish I could be in your timezones really. Its kinda lonely in here when everyone is not yet coming. By the time I sign out and sleep then all of you guys would rush in and post a bazilion pages and after that I wake up then everyone is gone again after I read all of them. Now that Myta is gone im really all alone again..Oh well, after all Im here to take watch at the coffehouse at night. Im proud for being the nightwatch at the coffeehouse having the name of Hunter. My name fits for a man that guards something. And hunt for those who are trying to destroy the shop.
Im Also proud that it seems my sole purpose for this Shop is to take watch over it and its regulars at night. Ill be the one to greet Omna in the morning, make sure Mamelon is sleeping with her teddy bear, and many more. I think it will be my job in this Coffeehouse. Even though I always miss the 5-page fun, Im sure Ill be here watching over and securing the shop when everyone gets home after drinkin, talkin and huggin, cuddling and teasing. Maybe Ill go talk with myself or shuffle my deck.
As soon as everyone wakes up, I hope someone can appreciate. Ill be preparing the coffeehouse by arranging the tables and chairs, bringing the stocks and cleaning the place up for a pleasant new day.
Oh well, I really am happy bein here. Thanks guys. Goodmornin to all of you.

I checked her profile. She is. Well, whoever you are I salute you. Brave kid.
Anyway, might as well make formal introductions. You guys look fun to talk to.
Hi. I don't play magic that much, but I have a mean blue-white control-aggro deck with a consistent losing streak... and for some reason I don't really care. I'm into those cute anime like Magical Meow Meow Taruto and Princess Tutu. I photoshop a lot. Born a skatergal.
Yeah, anyway I made my introdcution thing over at the introduce yourself part. I'd like to stay in this clan though. Get to know a lot a people. Read stuff. Nice. You guys don't mind if I stick around?
