@mamelon: well thats pretty unfair for them to say such things as you trying to dominate a thread with your long posts. I don't agree at all considering your just pointing out what you know about transgender and feminism and you have the right to voice your opinions and knowledge about what you know about the issue which you know alot probably alot more then they all do. I dont think i can talk about legacy like that i know for sure.:D
Well just wanted to pop in and i got sick again from minor food poisoning. I am feeling somewhat better though and i am going to do my best to go to work tommorrow which i probably will. See you all soon though. *hugs and blows kisses to everyone* Take care and have a good weekend everyone!
Love,
Cecilia

Does that make us women? Apparently listening to the wizened posts in that other thread, we need to wonder.
Mams, you know I support you. I glanced over the thread and I also agree with Snoops assessment. Though I feel the two archtypes are more general then that.
I can't believe a few of them considered you a troll! It's stupidly audacious.
Again, I'm stretched for time everyone. I'll check back in later.
Hey Coffeehouse :). I thought I'd check in again, see how things are going. I've really been enjoying my summer. It's nice to wake up at 10-12 every morning :D. Anyway, sorry I haven't really been posting often, although I doubt anybody minds (not a plea for attention or pity, just a probable fact; don't go saying that you have missed me unless it's really true, because I really don't need the comfort. Wow, that's a long parenthetical aside Go Yankees!!).
So.......................................................................yeah. What are we talking about? Ice Cream? Sweet. Yeah, there are some strange flavors nowadays. I've noticed that, at least at Baskin Robbins, they name everything off of recent cultural things, like "Surf's Up" or Spider-Man. Usually its just some kind of sherbet thing, but whatever. I personally really like Daiquiri Ice at BR. It is kind of a weird flavor, but its soooooo satisfying during a really hot day.
Well, I'm off to do other fun summertime things, so I'll see you guys later.
See you later strongbad and have fun and enjoy your summer break!

Yeah thats just unbelievable to say mamelon is being a troll she wasn't being a troll she is just making points about the issue at hand which she goes in detail about which is a good thing.
Have a good one shah and see you later. Well i think i am going to play some dragon quest 7 some see you all soon. *Hugs and blows kisses to everyone*

So I decided not to go, I just felt too many negative things about it, and decided to just not go...
And here is a....tiramisu for you, LittleDragon!
EDIT: Those of you on Facebook, look for Danica Rice and add me as a friend then request to join the new CoffeeHouse group (or check your group invitations, if I already have you as a friend!)
Hey Everyone,
This is mainly addressed to Danica, but I figured I would post it here so what the heck. I denied the facebook group request because not a lot of people know I play magic, and I'd rather keep it that way, and joining a group doesn't help. Also I haven't posted here in god knows how long so I'm not really a member or anything. I also noticed that most of my posts made here were pretty whiny and I figured you guys had enough to worry about without my *****ing. But Im not sure If i've updated you guys but my dads surgery went great then the physical therapy was going well but the guy pulled my dads I guess prosthetic shoulder and ball out too much. Im not sure but now the guy is fixing it. I hope you all have a good summer and next time you draft just IM me cause im always down for that
Makes sense, sorry to see you not join us.. but if you noticed, i actually specified that past members are welcome as well, as I hope David Eisenberg (known as Mortal Wombat) will join the group... and also, the group is less about Magic than about a fellowship of people who care about each other.... But all that being said, I'm glad your dad is doing better, and I hope he improves even more over time, and I respect your decision.. and best of luck in everything you do.
Just woke up..Woohh 3 pages..It seems the house is very lively again. Now where the hell is joyd?
@feminism/gay/transgender/whatever: No comment. I told you guys before, this thing does not matter to me, as long as a person is kind and polite, he/she is fine and cool with me to hang out with.
Everyone remember the trends in ice cream flavors that began in the mid-90s? All the various flavors that were basically just vanilla or chocolate ice cream that has as many things crammed into it as possible- cookie dough, cookie bits, candy bars, etc?
It seems that the new trend in ice cream is just simple ice creams with really unusual flavors. Just the other day I was introduced to some unusual ice cream flavors- red wine, azuki paste, black licorice (by the way, how awesome is that?), black pepper, and even some savory flavors like feta cheese (no comment.)
Anyone recently had any flavors of ice cream they have found to be particularly outside the norm?
Hmm. weird flavors huh? oh well here in the Phil we dont have really weird ones like you said, because our flavors really consist of fruits, choco and vanilla and combinations of them. The different one is bubblegum, which is my favorite flavor. I bet I told you guys that before?
Edit @ Photon : My favorite Icecreams are Green Tea and Wasabi. I recently discovered a mix of vanilla, caramel, fudge and chocolate chips that is like heaven in a frozen box though.
Here's a fun question for you, Omna: what would your reaction be if Ryan shaved his legs for you, just as a surprise?
And another odd question your post made me think of: is it possible to have a lisp while signing? Like, is there a certain way effemenite gay people sign where you can totally tell they're gay?
@Omna's topic about shaved/hairy legs: It really doesnt matter as long as you can handle yourself pretty well(even in a skirt). Its about confidence and feeling good about yourself, and yes Danica, youre lucky to have Ryan be that kind of guy.
So I decided not to go, I just felt too many negative things about it, and decided to just not go...
And here is a....tiramisu for you, LittleDragon!
WHat the!? Tiramisu!??? Gimme!!!!
@Topic about posts: I post short enough too, its because I only express my opinions brief, and thats just me. Seriously I try to cope up with the topics here, but sometimes some topics just dont apply for me(Like gender). Its just because, it doesnt.
But hey, I so like it in here.
@FL: Any new Manga/Episode of Naruto lately? Im kinda busy nowadays so I dont know any updates..
@Kevin: Hi kev!
Its saturday today but I have class. Geez. Ill be dropping by to say hi again later. Ciao!
It's a good two days late this week, but this one is one of the best yet...
It's time once again...
ANIME OF THE WEEK
Series: His and Her Circumstances
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Episodes: 26
Produced by: Gainax
Among anime romantic pairings, two names stand near the very top: Arima Souchiro and Miyazawa Yukino. They are the stars of this series, which is, aside from Ai Yori Aoshi, one of my top two choices for best animated romance story ever. Shounen fans beware - this review is about to venture into the sappy side of life.
Ahh, sweet romance. Miyazawa Yukino never suspected she would find herself in love. She was much too busy striving to be the "queen" of her school - first in grades, first in sports, and first in popularity. That is, until Arima Souchiro came along. Not only did he steal the top ranking spot in class, not only has he become the new go-to guy for help with homework... but he's blackmailing Miyazawa? Is he really a conniving badboy in disguise? Worse, he knows Miyazawa's secret - that at home, she's nothing like the perfect, pretty-girl image she presents at school. And to top it all off... she's developing a crush on him. Was highschool life supposed to be this hard?
This production is one of Gainax's major sucesses. They managed to turned a low production value show into one the most endearing, charming, and down-to-earth romance stories to be found in all of anime. If you're a fan of the genre at all, or even if you aren't, this show is just great to watch, and really tugs at the heartstrings. It shows us real life, reflected, magnified, and re-cast in a format where we can see ourselves and our foibles and laugh at them alongside the main characters as they go through the same situations. This is a first-class romance - go see it. You won't regret it.

Hello folks.. I am.. alive.. barely. Today was utter hell. No break, no pause between the endless stream of faceless, brainless zombie customers.. with the extra bonus of a *****-queen near the end of my shift.
"Fabu": I am poked fun at a lot in my family because I'm not as masculine as most other guys. I in fact often act feminine, and as such they jokingly (and harmlessly, don't worry) make fun of me and say I'm gay. Personally, I have no problem with it, because I know they're joking. But if someone honestly acts that way, seriously, and not to get attention.. I would be worried. Who could possibly be so uppity forever? Not me.
Shaving legs: I like a girl with firm, rubbable legs, but hair doesn't bother me. Look at me; I'm a veritable sasquatch. Actually, I have no back hair, a fine beard/goatee, blonde leg hair and black arm hair, and a fine hairy chest. I am proud of my body hair.
Mamelon.. I honestly think you will not be able to get it through their skulls, but I admire you greatly for taking a stand. Bravo.
Facebook: I am tempted, but I don't see what I'd do with it beyond what I do with MTGS. If I even equal that.
Anime of the Week: Nice! I am a hopeless romantic at times.
Well goodnight everyone this will probably be my last post for tonight. Ill talk to you all tommorrow though. Have a great weekend everyone!
@alacar: aww sorry about your shift today. *Hugs*
My food poisoning is getting better just hope i can go to work tommorrow because i will like to but it will depend on how well i feel tommorrow. See you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses to everyone*

Hey, Mr. Stuff, it's cool to see you review one of my favorite anime.
@Kevie: I hope you feel better soon. It's not good to hear you're sick again! *hugs*
As for the whole shebang . . . I need to be done with it. I recently found a different feminist blog which is thoroughly awesome, and she says that when it comes to people like this who are just so hard to talk to, you have to think of your own sanity. Promoting understanding is good, but one can only take so much. It's interesting to note that a lot of women and other kinds of feminists feel alienated by some of these people.
I'm not going back there ever except maybe to check my messages. It's just been too draining, and it's clear that site is not welcoming about this. I've noticed with some groups like that, sense of morality or ethics, including moderation, are a bit haphazard.
I can't take anymore, so I really need to be done. It got me really upset today, and it's just not worth it all. It's like Danica said, there's too much negativity.
But today wasn't all bad. Today I, well, came out to my parents about being trans. Their reaction to it was very, very positive, which I admit surprised me a bit.
I was at their house during the afternoon, and all this internet drama was piling on top of general stress and internal problems, and it got to be too overwhelming. I spent about an hour crying and trying to compose myself, and after my parents got home my mother came to me and asked what was wrong and if I wanted to talk about it. At first I was too distraught to be very clear, and just said a lot of negative things about my life that seemed to disturb her. Eventually, we started talking, and I just felt it was the right moment.
I told them both that what I had gone through as a child was never something I'd grown out of, that I wouldn't ever really grow out of it, and I'd hidden it for many years. I told them that my therapist wanted me to share it, but I never felt able to. When I said that I was afraid they wouldn't love me anymore, the very first thing they did was to say nothing could make them stop loving me, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with me.
I made it clear that most of my emotional problems I'd had throughout my life, including anxiety and depression, had been at least in part because of my issues about gender identity, and that the reason I didn't go to college, spent so many years not working or doing anything, and had so little social contact, was because of this.
They really seemed to understand a lot better than I expected. I did explain a few things to them, including exactly how I felt and what sorts of things were key to it, and some theories as to how it happens and what it means. I also peripherally broached different things I might do, including hormones and changes in presentation and behavior. We got to talking about intersexed conditions and homosexuality a little, and they seemed to agree with me that gender isn't something black or white. My mother's views about homosexuality seemed to have changed somewhat, too.
But all in all, they seemed to get where I was coming from as best they could. They were very explicit in saying that they didn't feel it was wrong or that I should have to hide it. My mom said she only wished I'd come out with it sooner, and that suppressing it just made things worse. She said she understood, because she had issues with gender identity as a teenager, although not to quite the same extent.
Their reaction was very reassuring. I feel a good deal better after all of it, despite what a rough morning I had. It really is like I've released a burden; at least now it's something I can talk about, and I know they'll try to understand. I'm very happy with how things went.

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.
Yay! Congratulations, Mamelon! I am most happy for you. *huggles* I know it was hard, but I am proud of you, and even more proud of your parents for being so understanding and loving.
That's awesome Mamelon, that sort of thing takes so much bravery and I'm glad it worked out for you. Photon told me about it about a half hour before you posted :).
Maybe soon you'll be brave enough to tell everyone your real name. jk.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
@Mams: Congratulations! That takes a lot of courage to do. It took me nearly two years before I was able to tell my parents. Really though, good show love! I'm proud of you.
Wow Mams. This is awesome. This is the kind of thing you do when you really need to take a huge step forward. i can see you actually moving forward with greater ease as a woman now, without feeling stuck on the whole "parent" issue.
I am very proud of you, and very empowered. I just want you to know how much love i have for you, and respect. Without you, this past year would have possibly not have happened in the way it has. I thank you for what having you in my life has given me, and what life is giving you right now. You are one of the most outspoken people I have ever met, and most deserving of love, acceptance, and hapiness.

As of course, I MUST absolutely echo everyone else's sentiments... That's an incredible thing for you to have accomplished, I know you've been struggling with it for a very long time and I truly commend you for accomplishing what you have... I'm almost certain it will make a world of difference as you won't feel so much like you need to hide yourself from the world, because the biggest burden was your parents... Of course I could be wrong, that there are bigger ones.... but what i'm really trying to say, much like Kraj, I can't convey appropriately what I wish to in words.... so i'll do it with a huge *HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG****************************
And of course, *whips up a big gooey chocolate cake for all of us to celebrate the transition in your life!
*puts it in the oven* Be sure to remind me to take it out so we cna eat it, while its not burnt
This morning I wanted to go golfing at the driving range but ended up sleeping until 10:30 anyway...10:30 is my usual time of getting up so its not really that bad.... and I do feel rather rested up... Ah it worked out so I'm going to spend the day playing videogames, talking to Ryan, watching movies and reading........ Sounds like a great day.. then later tonight around 4 or 5, my friend Stacey is coming over and we're gonna go to the mall and to Barnes & Noble to look around... Gonna be fun
Have a good day everyone.. and especially, CONGRATULATIONS to you, Mamelon

Thats awesome! It take SOOO much courage for something like that, and I don't even really know because I came out to my dad when I was mad at him, so go you and your not bad timing ^_^;;

Hello Lilly, long time no see.. I'm glad you came around again.. I can understand how it would be very easy to tell someone something earthshaking (to them) like that when you're upset.... when you're upset, you may want to spite or hurt them.... But at least you told him, and I still congratulate you for that regardless
Howdy, coffeehouse! I know I don't stop in here much these days, so I figure that I should be a little more sociable on here.
@mamelon: I agree with everyone else on your accomplishment with your parents. I have a hard time talking to my parents about getting time on the television, let alone something as difficult and complex to explain as that. Congratulations, both on your bravery and the success of your talks with your parents(I'd hug you, but I don't know you... no hard feelings).

@Mamelon: I too echo the congrulamatory sentiments of my fellow colleagues! I know it takes a lot of inner strength to be able to do that but how much I probably can't even fathom.
Yes, I am indeed still alive.
I got my Blood Elf warlock to lvl 70, so now I actually have some time to spend posting, instead of playing world of warcrack
Well the real reason I told him is because I wanted to save my hair, which was being threatened to be cut off, which in retrospect, actually worked. Still though, its easier to tell someone in the situation I did, so I dunno, I don't think it was very brave or anything.
but yeah, I still am not quite sure why i stopped posting much, it wasn't just WoW, at least not during the school year, it was a lot of stress issues. I guess I'm just not a forum person as much as anything else though. That being said, feel free for anyone here to IM me any time for a chat, I'm on most of the time.
In other news my poor little dying forum may yet revive, but probably not. I don't have my hopes up for it, just kinda dragging its corpse along with me. Once Penguin returns though, i expect it to revive fully. or maybe not. If anyone wants to mourn the link is in my sig.
I also sent a huge message thing to a friend that i betrayed, trying to make things right again. She used to be like my best friend and I was just horrible to her, like mean and everything, and for a while i got myself to hate her and everything, and just like, the guilt is eating away at me and I miss what was once there. She still hasn't responded after like 4 days, but thats ok because she's fairly busy apparently, because of her mom getting married recently, and she's not the kind of person to ignore such a thing. so yeah...
other than that, mass boredom in the summer, work with some shopping scattered in between, a massive amount of green tea/WoW, and lots and lots of sleep.

And so are mine.
Does that make us women? Apparently listening to the wizened posts in that other thread, we need to wonder.
Mams, you know I support you. I glanced over the thread and I also agree with Snoops assessment. Though I feel the two archtypes are more general then that.
I can't believe a few of them considered you a troll! It's stupidly audacious.
Again, I'm stretched for time everyone. I'll check back in later.
See you later strongbad and have fun and enjoy your summer break!
Yeah thats just unbelievable to say mamelon is being a troll she wasn't being a troll she is just making points about the issue at hand which she goes in detail about which is a good thing.
Have a good one shah and see you later. Well i think i am going to play some dragon quest 7 some see you all soon. *Hugs and blows kisses to everyone*

This is mainly addressed to Danica, but I figured I would post it here so what the heck. I denied the facebook group request because not a lot of people know I play magic, and I'd rather keep it that way, and joining a group doesn't help. Also I haven't posted here in god knows how long so I'm not really a member or anything. I also noticed that most of my posts made here were pretty whiny and I figured you guys had enough to worry about without my *****ing. But Im not sure If i've updated you guys but my dads surgery went great then the physical therapy was going well but the guy pulled my dads I guess prosthetic shoulder and ball out too much. Im not sure but now the guy is fixing it. I hope you all have a good summer and next time you draft just IM me cause im always down for that

@feminism/gay/transgender/whatever: No comment. I told you guys before, this thing does not matter to me, as long as a person is kind and polite, he/she is fine and cool with me to hang out with.
Hmm. weird flavors huh? oh well here in the Phil we dont have really weird ones like you said, because our flavors really consist of fruits, choco and vanilla and combinations of them. The different one is bubblegum, which is my favorite flavor. I bet I told you guys that before?
Wasabi flavor ice cream? Seriously!??
As what Ive said, bubblegum. Its like you know, cool and bubblegum you can swallow..
@Omna's topic about shaved/hairy legs: It really doesnt matter as long as you can handle yourself pretty well(even in a skirt). Its about confidence and feeling good about yourself, and yes Danica, youre lucky to have Ryan be that kind of guy.
Kraj: Damn, Ryan shaving his legs????
Very well said. An expression KCW might notice.
WHat the!? Tiramisu!??? Gimme!!!!
@Topic about posts: I post short enough too, its because I only express my opinions brief, and thats just me. Seriously I try to cope up with the topics here, but sometimes some topics just dont apply for me(Like gender). Its just because, it doesnt.
But hey, I so like it in here.
@FL: Any new Manga/Episode of Naruto lately? Im kinda busy nowadays so I dont know any updates..
@Kevin: Hi kev!
Its saturday today but I have class. Geez. Ill be dropping by to say hi again later. Ciao!

ANIME OF THE WEEK
Series: His and Her Circumstances
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Episodes: 26
Produced by: Gainax
Among anime romantic pairings, two names stand near the very top: Arima Souchiro and Miyazawa Yukino. They are the stars of this series, which is, aside from Ai Yori Aoshi, one of my top two choices for best animated romance story ever. Shounen fans beware - this review is about to venture into the sappy side of life.
Ahh, sweet romance. Miyazawa Yukino never suspected she would find herself in love. She was much too busy striving to be the "queen" of her school - first in grades, first in sports, and first in popularity. That is, until Arima Souchiro came along. Not only did he steal the top ranking spot in class, not only has he become the new go-to guy for help with homework... but he's blackmailing Miyazawa? Is he really a conniving badboy in disguise? Worse, he knows Miyazawa's secret - that at home, she's nothing like the perfect, pretty-girl image she presents at school. And to top it all off... she's developing a crush on him. Was highschool life supposed to be this hard?
This production is one of Gainax's major sucesses. They managed to turned a low production value show into one the most endearing, charming, and down-to-earth romance stories to be found in all of anime. If you're a fan of the genre at all, or even if you aren't, this show is just great to watch, and really tugs at the heartstrings. It shows us real life, reflected, magnified, and re-cast in a format where we can see ourselves and our foibles and laugh at them alongside the main characters as they go through the same situations. This is a first-class romance - go see it. You won't regret it.
His/Hers Goodies:
Miyazawa in Love AMV
Build Me Up, Buttercup AMV
His/Hers OP (Tenshi no Yubikiri)
His/Hers ED (Yume no Naka e)

"Fabu": I am poked fun at a lot in my family because I'm not as masculine as most other guys. I in fact often act feminine, and as such they jokingly (and harmlessly, don't worry) make fun of me and say I'm gay. Personally, I have no problem with it, because I know they're joking. But if someone honestly acts that way, seriously, and not to get attention.. I would be worried. Who could possibly be so uppity forever? Not me.
Shaving legs: I like a girl with firm, rubbable legs, but hair doesn't bother me. Look at me; I'm a veritable sasquatch. Actually, I have no back hair, a fine beard/goatee, blonde leg hair and black arm hair, and a fine hairy chest. I am proud of my body hair.
Mamelon.. I honestly think you will not be able to get it through their skulls, but I admire you greatly for taking a stand. Bravo.
Facebook: I am tempted, but I don't see what I'd do with it beyond what I do with MTGS. If I even equal that.
Anime of the Week: Nice! I am a hopeless romantic at times.

@Kevie: I hope you feel better soon. It's not good to hear you're sick again! *hugs*
As for the whole shebang . . . I need to be done with it. I recently found a different feminist blog which is thoroughly awesome, and she says that when it comes to people like this who are just so hard to talk to, you have to think of your own sanity. Promoting understanding is good, but one can only take so much. It's interesting to note that a lot of women and other kinds of feminists feel alienated by some of these people.
I'm not going back there ever except maybe to check my messages. It's just been too draining, and it's clear that site is not welcoming about this. I've noticed with some groups like that, sense of morality or ethics, including moderation, are a bit haphazard.
I can't take anymore, so I really need to be done. It got me really upset today, and it's just not worth it all. It's like Danica said, there's too much negativity.
But today wasn't all bad. Today I, well, came out to my parents about being trans. Their reaction to it was very, very positive, which I admit surprised me a bit.
I was at their house during the afternoon, and all this internet drama was piling on top of general stress and internal problems, and it got to be too overwhelming. I spent about an hour crying and trying to compose myself, and after my parents got home my mother came to me and asked what was wrong and if I wanted to talk about it. At first I was too distraught to be very clear, and just said a lot of negative things about my life that seemed to disturb her. Eventually, we started talking, and I just felt it was the right moment.
I told them both that what I had gone through as a child was never something I'd grown out of, that I wouldn't ever really grow out of it, and I'd hidden it for many years. I told them that my therapist wanted me to share it, but I never felt able to. When I said that I was afraid they wouldn't love me anymore, the very first thing they did was to say nothing could make them stop loving me, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with me.
I made it clear that most of my emotional problems I'd had throughout my life, including anxiety and depression, had been at least in part because of my issues about gender identity, and that the reason I didn't go to college, spent so many years not working or doing anything, and had so little social contact, was because of this.
They really seemed to understand a lot better than I expected. I did explain a few things to them, including exactly how I felt and what sorts of things were key to it, and some theories as to how it happens and what it means. I also peripherally broached different things I might do, including hormones and changes in presentation and behavior. We got to talking about intersexed conditions and homosexuality a little, and they seemed to agree with me that gender isn't something black or white. My mother's views about homosexuality seemed to have changed somewhat, too.
But all in all, they seemed to get where I was coming from as best they could. They were very explicit in saying that they didn't feel it was wrong or that I should have to hide it. My mom said she only wished I'd come out with it sooner, and that suppressing it just made things worse. She said she understood, because she had issues with gender identity as a teenager, although not to quite the same extent.
Their reaction was very reassuring. I feel a good deal better after all of it, despite what a rough morning I had. It really is like I've released a burden; at least now it's something I can talk about, and I know they'll try to understand. I'm very happy with how things went.
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.

That's seriously wonderful news. You should be proud of yourself.
And to the rest of you. A very good morning.
Current New Favorite Person™: Mallory Archer
She knows why.
I am very proud of you, and very empowered. I just want you to know how much love i have for you, and respect. Without you, this past year would have possibly not have happened in the way it has. I thank you for what having you in my life has given me, and what life is giving you right now. You are one of the most outspoken people I have ever met, and most deserving of love, acceptance, and hapiness.
And of course, *whips up a big gooey chocolate cake for all of us to celebrate the transition in your life!
*puts it in the oven* Be sure to remind me to take it out so we cna eat it, while its not burnt

@mamelon: I agree with everyone else on your accomplishment with your parents. I have a hard time talking to my parents about getting time on the television, let alone something as difficult and complex to explain as that. Congratulations, both on your bravery and the success of your talks with your parents(I'd hug you, but I don't know you... no hard feelings).
Thanks to guys at aether for the banner

I got a bit of a scare last night when my internets weren't working, but everything is back up today, so I can get some work done online.
I got my Blood Elf warlock to lvl 70, so now I actually have some time to spend posting, instead of playing world of warcrack
Well the real reason I told him is because I wanted to save my hair, which was being threatened to be cut off, which in retrospect, actually worked. Still though, its easier to tell someone in the situation I did, so I dunno, I don't think it was very brave or anything.
but yeah, I still am not quite sure why i stopped posting much, it wasn't just WoW, at least not during the school year, it was a lot of stress issues. I guess I'm just not a forum person as much as anything else though. That being said, feel free for anyone here to IM me any time for a chat, I'm on most of the time.
In other news my poor little dying forum may yet revive, but probably not. I don't have my hopes up for it, just kinda dragging its corpse along with me. Once Penguin returns though, i expect it to revive fully. or maybe not. If anyone wants to mourn the link is in my sig.
I also sent a huge message thing to a friend that i betrayed, trying to make things right again. She used to be like my best friend and I was just horrible to her, like mean and everything, and for a while i got myself to hate her and everything, and just like, the guilt is eating away at me and I miss what was once there. She still hasn't responded after like 4 days, but thats ok because she's fairly busy apparently, because of her mom getting married recently, and she's not the kind of person to ignore such a thing. so yeah...
other than that, mass boredom in the summer, work with some shopping scattered in between, a massive amount of green tea/WoW, and lots and lots of sleep.
