You belong in the chatterbox, n00b.
Seriously. HEARTHEARTHEARTEMOTERAAPPPEEEEEEE. Really scintillating. I would like to now copy down a fantastic conversation, complete with descriptions, additions, and comment...itions. There is a contest in a favorite Breedables thread of mine. A raffle, in which a ticket is rewarded to the first posted on every page. While it started out simply enough, soon the emoters moved in. That is, those who have no intellect or ettiquite beyond that of chatterbox norm. Sick of having them bump their little bodies sore and sniping from well-meaning conversers, I made a simple plea:Kaioto_Katsuma How're you this fine evening? :3 May I make a suggestion? Instead of bumping like mad and trying to beat each other out, why not chat and take turns snagging the first post? We both get tickets and it's not such a jumpandsnipe competition. 3nodding #1 Well, no offence, Kaioto, but the raffle isn't just a fun and fair way of finding homes for the heralds, it's also a friendly competition designed to attract more bumpers and keep the thread up there.
While conversing is most pleasent, there are better ways to go about it than simply complaining about the lack of it. Bring up a topic, one that people can get into, and don't feel too bad if they just go back to bumping. It's what most people are here for besides the auction.
As for your question, I'm in a rather bad mood -- but it happens. It'll pass. x3 Kaioto_Katsuma No offense taken. :3 I understand it is a competition, I merely meant to make it more interesting. Though if you find constantly posting a single emoticon fun, okay, that's your fun and mine is mine. 3nodding My apologies if I have angered you, it is merely frustrating to see post after post of a single thing. But, of course, that could just be me. In truth, if you care to do nothing but bump, that's your bag. I was merely trying to suggest it as an alternative to sniping. While there are no rules, it is general etiquitte to not have an entire page taken up by the posts of two people to only then have the winning post sniped at the last moment by someone else who took no part in the effort. I have no particular desire to dig up an example page, but I'm sure you've seen it. As for not coming up with my own conversation, I have tried, but if no one grabs on, there is nothing I can do. So I thought that by bringing it up, people might seek to come up with topics they are fonder of. In any case, as there are no rules and you seem to take offense, I will leave it there. It's not my thread and not my buisness, and I would much prefer to not make trouble. confused #2 o_O
*Is back*
You've snipped too, It's kinda obvious. 0_0;;
Is it wrong? It is a competition, like Pu said. xD
S'no big deal. Kaioto_Katsuma When an entire page was take up by other peoples' conversations and I showed up after for a single post? If I have, then I fully admit how rude I was to do so, and all offended have my apologies. But I said I was dropping it. If you'd care to continue, do not involve me in it. confused I would not care to sully this thread any longer. #1 I'm afraid you're mistaken. I took no offence, I simply answered your question.
You know, you should really relax. If you continue to act in such a defensive way, you may cause something.
But oh well~ #2 What I meant by you sniping is, you'd have a conversation, then by the tenth post, you would go quiet untill you can snipe the first post on the next page. xD;;
Alrighty then. I think I'll go back to my emotes.
heart Some people make me fear for the future of this world.

Learning to live again.
It occoured to me just now that I'm sick of being bullied by my biological parents. I'm sick of being depressed all the time, of being abused and then laughed at. So I've decided I'm not going to let it affect me any more. I'm going to learn to live again. How? Well, that's up to all my friends. There's a lot of stuff around me, most of it food. And I can't go very far, since I don't have a car and have very bad knees. But I'm determined. I've got a list below of places nearby, or places that are easily accessible, and stuff I can afford to do. Below that is what I've come up with so far. Feel free to comment with other ideas for the next 6 weeks, and be aware I will (with any luck and a bit of determination) be on Gaia much less than before. Places nearby A mall - fairly small, though with about 30 stores (Various clothes stores, Disney Store, Bath and Body Works, knick-knacks, etc.), a food court and two restaurants (Ruby Tuesday's and Panera), and a movie theater with 12 screens. A park - large, with a fairly big playground and public pool with water slide. (Unsure about pool access/pricing, though). Ice cream throughout, Italian Ice nearby. A train station - for about $10, you can get a ticket to NYC. A library - a bit far to walk, but do-able if the day is devoted to it. Tons and TONS of food - Pizza, ice cream, donuts, bagels, chinese, Italian ice, etc... A nail salon - I've never been there, but it's there anyway. Ideas so far Explore the park - I've got a bike and rollerblades I can use to ride around the park (Though not much - my knees are killer). Crochet in the sun - I'm working on a blanket for my dorm room. I was thinking I could hit the park and crochet on the swingset or something. Pool days - If the pool is available for my use, I could spend the warm days at the pool! I could swim, work on my tan, and meet new people, like the beach but with no jellyfish or sandflies! See a movie or two - PotC is coming out on the 7th, and nothing's better than Orlando Bloom next to Johnny Depp. Mmmm. Hit NYC - Use the LIRR to go to the city for the day, and just wander around. I could browse the street venders' wares, hang around in the World of Disney store, etc. Would I ever be allowed to? No. Would I care? No. Go to a zoo - From Dark, on the same note as NYC, why not go to a zoo? Maybe the Central Park Zoo, or the Bronx zoo... it's really just a matter of adding an etxtra train/subway/bus ride to the initial LIRR to Penn. :3 Learn to do something new! - Brina suggested AMVs, and I've always wanted to learn how to make them. :O Raid the library - Another suggestion from Brina, that I visit the library every once in a while and just read like crazy. In particular, reading all the books I used to love as a kid but haven't read in ages. (Lynne Reid Banks, oh maann. heart ) Do some adventurous shopping - A Subo!suggestion, to go into stores I've never been in before and just look around or actually buy some stuff. Go to a museum - There's the Cradle of Aviation museum that's accesible by bus, or the MET and MOMA in the city that can be reached by train and subway/bus. Hit the beach! - Sort of accidentally, I discovered that for $2 each way, there's a bus that goes from the train station near me to Jones Beach! They leave the station every 1-2 hours, and leave the beach every 2 hours. All suggestions are welcome! Just remember the limitations. Limitations Nothing physically strenuous - I have bad knees, and can't walk for long periods of time, or run at all. Nothing too expensive - if it costs more than $20, it's too expensive. xd Nothing too long - my biological parents leave the house at 9 in the morning and return at 5 in the evening. Whatever Ii do MUST take place in this time slot. The point of this is to learn to live again, not to be killed for doing what they don't want me to. I'll bold each activity in here as I do them. The goal is to learn to live and be happy again, by doing at least one a week. At least. Wish me luck! heart Done! 07/03 - Went to Tobay beach for 3 hours, then went to see Superman Returns. Hotness + hawtness = happiness. 07/04 - Went to a 4th of July party in Brooklyn, watched the Macy's fireworks on the East River. Ate TONS of cotton candy and cookies. 07/05 - Went rollerblading in the park for an hour, discovered a path under a bridge and got totally lost in a new neighborhood. xd ; 07/07 - Saw PotC II. .....eeweeweeweeweew. (But it's the thought that counts, right? sweatdrop ) 07/08 - Went to the library and took out the entire Chanters of Tremaris series. (The 3rd one is finally out in the US!) Also went to the mall for a little while and got these awesome earrings I've had my eyes on for months, and to Jo-Anns for funky beads to braid my hair with. 07/09 - AAHHH MOOKIE!!! MOOKIEMOOKIEMOOKIE! *SQUEEEEE* I managed to get to Connecticon and Mookie was there and wherever he was I was so I declare it MOOKIECON! heart blaugh heart 07/14 - Went to the mall for a few hours, and got some great new clothes. I used my debit card for the first time! :O Go me! 07/15 - Went to see Wicked in NYC. HOSHIT is was AMAZING!!! 07/17 - Got Red River 13 from Borders. @__@ Gawd, Chie Shinohara knows how to write! |

What is WRONG with you?!
Today, I entered into a Howl's Moving Castle cosplay breedables auction. BEAUTIFUL horses expertly edited. And while (quelle suprise) the Howl cosplays were off the wall, the Sophie ons were suprisinly sparingly touched. So I put a 6k bid on Young Sophie, staying around to have a good chat with the shop owner and another bidder. And right near the end, some bimbo comes in. confused xxx I'm probably abit crazy , cause i should be savin for Soq breedin but i'll put 7k on young Sophie sweatdrop *wants a Nequus* xxx *shrugs and menders off into a corner* Kaioto_Katsuma I just love young Sophie as a character - she starts off with so much latent potential which is hindered very much by her life conditions (Which they mention a lot more in the book than in the movie). It's absolutely awesome to watch her grow and evolve as the story goes on. heart xxx w/e I just wnated one always next time *menders off to a diffrent thread* Kaioto_Katsuma Indeed! :O I've never won an auction before.. *Hoping for the best* Though if someone else wins her, I just hope they take good care of her. X3 *A little... distraught... that someone would bid on her just for her species* DX Arghh. *Pats her mane* xxx *yawns and puts 11k on Young Sophie* WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER?!?! She has NO idea of proper spelling, makes NO attempt to enter the conversation, and, oh yeah, DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT SOPHIE. All she cares about is having a trophy pet. No concern for Sophe's personality, she just wants one of the species. HELLO! Me, over here! Actually CARING! Even when I say very blatantly that I think what she's doing is horrific, she continues to bid! Even ups it by more than the minimum amount!! Do you have ANY idea how long 12k takes me to make?! Here's a hint - TWICE AS LONG AS 6K, which is what I would have paid if the ******** retard hadn't been so ******** RUDE!!!

Just... um..... @____@
Kamiki's given over management of the GMFC to Sunny. I know you've probably all read her announcement, and knew that already, but... I just don't know what to say.
I mean, I've been with the GMFC since the very beginning. I was there when Kamiki's pregnant concept art was on the front page as just a sketch, there when me and Jiora won the first flatsale. I've seen auctions and raffles and events, drama and money-grubbing clone shops. I've seen smiles, and tears. I've seen this shop go through a ton of good times, and tough times as well.
But for the life of me, I did not see this coming.
I knew Kamiki went on hiatus from everything but IODM. I'm a postdiver by nature, so that wasn't news to me. But I guess it just never hit me that it might be serious. I mean, she's gone on breaks before, but she's always come back, often with an auction or something to restart with a bang.
And I should be happy for Sunny... I really should. She's an amazing woman, a fantastic RPer, and defnately capable of handling a shop she's been with since very near the beginning. I know, I really know, hers are good hands.
It's just... the GMFC is Kamiki's brainchild. She and the shop go hand-in-hand in my mind. They're one and the same; I can't seperate them, can't see the shop without her there to guide it. And it enfuriates me SO MUCH that people had to go and ruin it for her. All for the sake of money, virtual ******** money.
Things just seem like they're so different now. I know things haven't really changed all that much, and maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but... the shop just felt like Kamiki. I don't know, it's just, like, you would walk into the shop and you could just feel her essence in it. All the love and work she's put into it really showed.
I know I haven't been as good as I should have, as supportive. It's not that I haven't wanted to write and RP; Solaris and Kiana mean the world to me, more than I could ever explain to someone outside of breedables, outside of Gaia. My life hasn't been easy, living with abusive parents, and I guess my mind has just been elsewhere. Maybe it was sand in the wound that I post every day but haven't RPed in months. Or maybe that has nothing to do with it, but it just seems so... sudden.
Maybe I was just blinded by my love for the shop. I couldn't see what was really going on.
It's just... god. I'm rambling. I'm rambling, and I'm sure if I could pull myself away from the emotional side of this, I could see that nothing is really all that different, and Sunny really will do a fantastic job. Kamiki's not even abandoning the shop, not really.
It's just... hard. Things just feel too different now.

Gold/Gaia credits - Because Kai needs clothes now that I dress her in more than her kimono. XD; Birthday Wishes! - Because I'd love nothing more than to be loved on my birthday. heart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kamiki: @_______________@ Afgrefgsfdhgzafja. Enough gold so that Kaioto will never go hungry again. Enough to buy every piece of store clothes she could ever want, or a custom Soquili! Excuse me while I go die of glee.
