A lil Fagadorable

Maybe :3 They're pretty fun and random. Especially Peaches. Then again, I was friends with her before she became a supporter XD

Also, Franceschi is pretty awesome to talk with as well. She's Arian's current pair, and I find it easy to talk to her. Michii (Arian's pair before Fi and after me) is OK to talk to, too. She also makes great graphics :3

Smart cat XD

Xairmo, right? (forgive me if I've spelled it wrong ><')

Gummy and Wish are also pretty nice :3 And then one of my PokeSpecial-loving friends, BinaryPeaches, is awesome XD Oh, and Alice. is cool too~

I believe Master Kwesi Nkromah (I probably spelled this wrong too XD) is the owner, though Rukario helps out and I guess co-owns it.

We actually celebrated his birthday a little while back. I forgot when, though :3

Dang. We've been getting downpours here, too. And, unfortunately, my older dog isn't too keen of thunderstorms. She even peed on my grandparents' bed. And they were NOT happy O_O' Thankfully, I was with my dad, so I couldn't hear the ranting they did. But it sounds like a lot from what I got listening to my parents' side of the story.

Hmm, I can see why. Some of the supporters are, er, a bit...snobby at times. I'd rather not name anyone (as I don't want to insult any single individual), but sometimes they seem like they're better than everyone else. I once told a friend of mine to slap (or shoot) me silly if I began acting different just because I was a supporter XD

To be honest, after getting used to speaking with them, I'm not so afraid anymore. Maybe it's just because I've realized they're normal people just like everyone else. Having an italicized blue name doesn't make them any different than anyone with a default name.

Same.

What's the weather like down there? Can't be at the right temperature, from the sounds of it. Even Maryland here's been getting sauna-like weather, and I'm not really a hot-weather person XD

Hmm... My best bet is to never give up. Even when another person enters and I become completely ignored, I still try to include myself in whatever they're talking about XD Even if it is the strangest of things, or if it's something I know null about. One way or another people will have to read my posts.

I'm trying to. The best way is through MSN, probably, but I'm usually not able to access it or he's in a group convo. with others and I can't join in XD I actually VMed him earlier this morning asking him something, but he has yet to respond.

Heh, I get convos. stalked a lot. Then again, I am a self-appointed convo. stalker, so all's fair~

I actually made quite a few supporter friends while I was still a regular user (and I doubt it had anything to do with me being paired with a supporter, though he is awesome even if he weren't one XD), and I only became a supporter, like, two days ago (I asked my mom about donating a week ago, and finally we actually went through with it since she had Paypal up XD). So, as long as you're good with carrying on a convo. or complimenting others for various reasons (just as long as it doesn't look like you're sucking up to them), you'll probably be able to befriend quite a few of them <3

Also, getting into MSN or Skype convos. would probably be your best bet, too XD

Yeah. We kinda said the wrong things around the wrong time. Plus, I think when I said some of those things he was having a really hard time irl or something, so I just added to the drama.

I also can't believe I'm turning 16 this year. My parents have thought of taking me to Canada, either in British Columbia or Quebec. They've even thought of taking me to the Caribbean. But that's yet to be decided XD

Ah, I've just been listening to music from my playlists on Youtube, and I've been posting in Other Trivia a lot.

Actually, Other Trivia is a great way to make quite a few friends, if you ask me. Especially in the stickied threads on there. It's a lot better than Pokemon Trivia, since, in my honest opinion, Pokemon Trivia attracts more n00bs, much like Pokemon Roleplay (which is also why you hardly see any RPs in Other Roleplay; there have been plenty of good Pokemon RPs from time to time, though :3).

... That might've had something to do with my moving, then XD

And actually, I was a bit gloomy around June. Since I lost a couple of friends (like Arian, though that was sort of my fault, really).

I think, for some reason, my personality changes with every new name I get. I seemed to have a bit popularity as "Serene" (and wouldn't you know it was while I was living my life in hell in North Carolina; I couldn't STAND the school I attended there; the whole state was awesome, though, and I wouldn't mind living there again), and then it sort of declined once I changed my name again.

But now I'm Yuyuko. I'm gonna see what happens with this.

...

My birthday isn't until December DX Oh well, I can wait~

Has it? XD Mm, I guess having to move from Maryland to North Carolina and back to Maryland might have something to do with it. Plus, i'm living with my somewhat-negative grandparents now (along with my mom and stepdad, of course XD), so I've had to deal with them in positive ways rather than just complaining about them (though we do occasionally make fun of some of the things we do, but hey, my parents are doing it as well, so it's OK XD).

Hmm...

I used the leftover money my mom gave me to use at the anime convention I attended with a friend (I only spent about, like, half of it XD). So maybe if you got to go somewhere with a friend or two (like an amusement park or someplace like that; even maybe someplace like the movies) and got her to lend her money, you could keep some on you (unless she asks for the change back, in which case wouldn't be very helpful) and then ask her to donate with what you have.

I also receive birthday/Christmas money from my relatives every now and then. Maybe you can use some of that money you receive, or you could even ask your parents to donate for you on PC for your birthday/Christmas gift XD

True. I kinda hope, if that's the case, that whatever's going on outside of PC goes better for him soon. Even if they have been rude/bully-like/etc., one would never hope for bad things to happen to them, but rather pray that whatever is happening to them changes for the better.

Yup, donate once and you're in for life. Awesome, non? 8D

... Wow. To be honest, I can't comprehend why he's been so...cold. I want to assume some of his newer friends are a bad influence on him, but some of those friends are actually quite nice. My other idea is that he's been going through some real life issues or something. ^^' Sometimes people act differently just to hide how they're truly feeling. I know this from experience.

Mm, 5 dollars to be a Tier 1 member, 10 to be a Tier 2, 15 to be a Tier 3, 20 to be a Tier 4, 25 to be a Tier 5, and, although it isn't listed, I've heard $100 to be a Tier 6, and I have no clue as to what the benefits are to becoming one XD

Thankfully, though, you don't have to pay every month (though I think those that pay two dollars a month for, like, a certain amount of months becomes a Tier 4 supporter). I think. I'm pretty sure those that had others donate for them don't have those same people donate for them every month or they don't donate for themselves every month.

*shakes head* I don't think so. Actually, he stopped liking me too without telling me why. I just came on one day to find we weren't friends anymore. I thought it was because we hadn't chatted enough through VMs, though we did chat in group convos. on MSN, so I sent him a VM and he never responded to it.

Well, with people like Arian and Ralph, they got others to donate for them, probably through Paypal, since it's the quickest way of donating. You don't even have to be online to donate through Paypal XD I swear, a minute or so after donating I became a supporter. And it is worth it, of course~

But yeah, you'll most likely have a lot of luck w/ Paypal. And if for some reason neither of your parents/guardians have it, I assume you can probably send in a check/money order or even cash through snail mail.

A lot of people seem to become Tier 3/4 supporters. It's because when you become Tier 3 you get access to the VIP forums (plus get a larger avvie size), and when you become Tier 4, you can change your username once every three months and have larger PM space~ Becoming Tier 5 just means you can get your own email address @ PC XD

Nice XD The most times I ever went to the same camp was... 5 years, I think. Then it closed due to renovations.

I know, right? It seems a bunch of the shops have closed and most are now just galleries. So much has changed in so little time, if you ask me XD

Hmm...

Well, obviously we have new staff, plus ones that have been promoted/demoted/etc. XD And a lot of the people that we both knew are now supporters (like Arian and Ralph), plus have a new line of friends.

... And there's also been some rep abusing. The staff has been thinking of disabling rep due to so many people being idiots and neg. repping people for the wrong reasons or repping them for reasons that shouldn't count. There's also been something going on about a user's guide to RPing since there are plenty of RPers who need help or whatever.

Yeah, quite a bit has happened.

XD Sounds like you had a good time then. Is it something you'd want to do again next year if given the option?

... I haven't been on Gaia in ages XD Only to chat with some of my old friends from the sites I used to go on before coming here.

Mm, Gummy makes a mean theme. So does parallellines, though he's probably gonna be busy with a lot of other requests.

But hopefully you will get something nice to go along with it~ I can't wait to see what kind of theme you'll have.

XD That sounds pretty fun~ How's karate camp going?

It is quite nostalgic, and hard to believe that next month will be my one-year anniversary. Time flew by so quickly :X

My summer's going fine; I haven't been able to do much due to economic issues, but I will be going up to Vermont for a camping trip eventually~

By the way, just gotta say, your username's certainly interesting. In a good way, of course :3

Same here :3

How's your summer been going? Go anywhere fun?

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to drop in an say "hi" as well.

It's really nice to see you back, Dusty~

I can't tell if you're mocking me so I'll just say thank you.

Nothing yet, because the last time I saw him was at my best friends Birthday Party. But next time I see him I'm just gonna give him a talkin' to and try my best to intimidate him. I'm gonna write down all the things I have to say because I'm an OCD dork.

He just has a grudge against me because he doesn't want other people to be happy as long as he is wollowing in his eternal misery. He's really just pitiful and I feel sorry for the level of pity he's reached, but I'm not gonna let him do whatever he wants.

Yeah, basically my ex is a horrible, horrible, horrible human being. We believe that he was not created by God, instead that he spawned from the toilet paper Satan used to wipe his ass.
