Sanctuary

You better not ran away this time, you little girl!

:P

I've been fine, I guess...
I've been going with my dad lately in the city for a few days now...

So how about you?
how are you?

Umm... Nothing much... Just participating in tournaments and such. =P

And where did you ran off to you little girl! >:[

Lol, just kidding! :D

Anyways, it's been quite a while. :)

Your presence is bad actually. Just kidding! ^_^ So, what have you been up to lately? =P

nice buttons you made.... where do you animate those sprites???

Thank you for doing those

i mean user bar... like entei animated userbar....

Of course! ;3 Nice to see your back for a while.

try making a glaceon for our banner....

Hello.

I apologize for the inability to continue the conversation.

So, anything new? BTW, I'm still loving that Arcanine theme, AND Bleach. :)

Oh no. XD I'd argue that it's not really that universal, but I know why. It is somewhat of an advantage, but I don't think I would have managed if I took it this year. I'm already behind with work as it is!! Haha, yes it should. XD
Errgh, I just adblocked a 2MB one someone has for a sig. >.> I have a 8MB full Haruhi dance one somewhere. XD I'm already halfway there and it's been a week! :o Really? I've never gotten into the Warcraft or WoW style of game. Why would it be "COHOF"? XD Yeah! You should watch L☆ if you get the chance! It's pretty funny and great all round. Kagaminn~ <3
Yeah! There was a really cute cosplay I saw the other day, she was just AWESOME. :3 Okay, cool!
There isn't one here I don't think. Unless you're like under 12 or something... I've never been given protective gear. That takes away the fun! XD
I don't know what he did before he became a teacher but... he is like a soldier/machine. XD It's more fun when you shoot everyone. ^^
Mmm.. yeah they do. Some very happily indeed. :< Our school's small enough to make the houses fun, plus being a house leader makes something good to write on the CV. ^^ Maybe it is, I hope. :3

Well that's better than 29! ^^ I can list at least 5 different types; but there's so many more, especially those smaller jobs. It is definitely freaky, an obsession gone way too far. It's not even an interactive relationship!! XDD I don't have anything like that... ;_; I want some figurines. This is the Haruhi one. Life size intimidation by the SOS brigade god. xD Yeah, Miku looks so life like in a couple of the really detailed ones too.
Or maybe it was just me. Haha. I can't stand it when it's too much above 30. XD No.. sunburn isn't good. I think I've only been burnt once. Yeah but then we also get false calls as a result! Though I think the number used to say "The New Zealand emergency number is 1, 1, 1. Please hang up and redial." instead of redirecting. xD

They need a robot, not scarecrow. XD Like one with extended broom arms that swing around all day. ;D You're welcome. ^^ Ohh~ AFL. I still think that's a strange game. *shot* xD

Haha~ though I don't think there are many differences asides from those.
Personally I find it harder. It all seems much more advanced than here... I mean, e.g in Year 11 Maths they are still doing percentage decimal conversions... I learnt that when I was 11... which is why I skipped Year 11.
I don't know. Do you believe I could?

ALEX <3

I seem to get more confused easily these days. XD Antonyms and synonyms are antonyms. :D "Advantageous" isn't that big of a word, is it? :3 I think most are happy without it, it's more the other parts of the qualifications that are annoying. Like how it doesn't really compare internationally and from my own point of view, it's really useless and behind almost every other large country. D:
I've only made one so far, but the file ended up becoming huge!! Like 1mb huge. But it was still a wicked gif. <3 Yup, but I'll probably use it all up soon~ I asked my friend and he said it's part of Warcraft 3. :o Wait, isn't "Company of Heroes" a WWII shooting game? O.o Aah, true true. XD Thanks~ I'll definitely need it and do loads of work. x_x
Oh, no I meant watching 12 episodes in a day. XD Though I could probably download 12+ if I really wanted to. Mmm, same! Except I'd probably end up being like Kagami (minus the tsundere part. xD)
Yeah, I've seen some really nice cosplay photos before. Wow, cool!! I just searched her up on Google. Oooh, show me when you get it all done. :3
Umm.. no, you should be allowed. We took some Year 9s with us last week and they're only 12-13. Oh, don't believe that. XD One of my teachers joined us two years back and he was AWESOME at it. He got everyone, even people on his own team. O.O
Oh. My bad then. :| Sorry Mayo! I hate how the votes are always popularity contests, it doesn't really make the prefects all capable of proper leadership. D: Yeah, people are starting to abuse their powers. Or in my case, I'm abusing the powers I don't have. XD

That would suck, a lot... I'd be extremely pissed off too. I'm sure it wasn't because you were the only girl. That would be very... inappropriate of them. xD I haven't heard of many types of engineering, but I know there's a good long list out there. Technically that already happens now with the whole 2D love thingy. And I agree.. it's is very freaky. Posters and figmas etc stuff are okay, but bed sheets and um, life sized models? A bit extreme. Though that Haruhi figure outside Akihabara was awesome. ^^
That just happens to be when I stopped over in January. And I was in the airport, under A/C as well! I can't imagine living in Aussie through the summer. X.X I hope it's not sunburn? D: It isn't used very often at all, it just popped into my head. XD It's 111 here. But if you call 911 it redirects there too. xD (Why MAYBE? I...I.. actually.. yeah, maybe. :o)

I have once! And it was kinda poorly made. I think they work to some degree. A colloquialism is like culturally specific informal/conversational terms. Oh, yeah I don't really watch much sport either - except the rugby, and a big deal is made out about all that.

I see. That would certainly make it a lot easier to be ahead. Which would probably make sense for me to stay in NZ to do engineering rather than in Aus. Oh. Yeah, it's a similar case here except it's more to do with which courses to get into rather than which uni. Very uni will accept as long as you have the university entrance credits from English and Maths.
Is Maths difficult there? I remember seeing some papers a long time ago and they looked harder than what we get here. D:
If I drew a picture, would it clear up the doubt? xD

Alex <3

Yep! I may have got myself confused somewhere though... xD No I don't!! Um, what's an example of one? Awww... poor May. It's bad enough when you don't like the subject, but if the teacher's bad as well. ;_; I'd say it's only making a small minority happy. The system is still pretty bad. XD
Yup and for making GIFs as well!! Well, I have a 250GB Hard Drive on this laptop and I have around 32GB of anime on here right now. DOTA is the Warcraft map, right? Then no, haha I can't imagine it being anywhere near educational. ^^ That's why you don't ask!! XD I have to compete with one this year for the end of year awards.
I can get through 12 episodes a day if I had a lot of time on my hands... but it's rare I get the chance to do that. x_x I'd define a "normal" otaku to be one like Konata from Lucky Star. XD
Yeah. I wish one did come here, I would definitely go. Oooh!! Who are you cosplaying as??
We did that the other day. (Just paintballing that is). The teachers wouldn't join in though. D: Ours are all based off someone who's done something really special in the school's history. Bad Mayo, you should help out someway though! XD Oh, we have prefects and head boy on top of all that as well. And they can hand out punishments, which is the only difference. Yeah, my job is actually pretty easy for the most part. ^^

I'm sure you did, getting results back is always the worst time for doubting yourself. x_x Ahh, that's way too unbalanced! XD I have to agree, there would be around 3 in my year group and we're a pretty small school too. There's just so many types of engineering that you could be, almost endless in options. Yup!! I saw it on the news the other night. I wonder how long until these robots become a common everyday thing. :3 IT'S OKAY BECAUSE IT'S MAYO~ ^^
I've stopped over in Brisbane before, but I can't really stand the weather. It's way too hot for me. D: I've heard of "Kiwiana" before, but I don't know what that actually means. xD :O The illegal trade of Kiwis has been discovered. (It's us two, of course we would! :D)

Yeah, and I think scarecrow. Um. XD I don't know, I associate that with Hawaii for some reason. o.o Oh yeah, the "G'day mate" greeting. XD But that's just colloquialism. :O Whaaat? You've never heard of it? Like um, All Blacks vs Wallabies, trans-Tasman stuff... Mainly sporting though.

I would have thought it would be more advantageous to do an engineering course at uni? Unless Australia's university are really hard to get into...
It all sounds so confusing. XD Why can't it just be "Year -insertlevel- Maths" and then streamed bands.
So there's some doubt there? ^^

Alex <3

XD I remember one kid who visited our school was playing his DS during study hall. And everyone who noticed didn't say a thing XD

Yeah, Ticah's voice fits her well :3 It's a shame that they don't allow you to switch over to the Japanese names; I'd really like to hear their voices in Japanese :3

I've played a bit of Chocobo Tales, and it isn't that bad, but it's not a game I'd get before Platinum XD

Waaait~ But I thought that was antynoms? ;_; Nah, my english is horrible. I only thought of it because we used it in Japanese. :3 Yup!! Only in Year 13 though, it's otherwise compulsory. It just goes to show how worthless a NZ qualification really is. XD
Most of what I get now is in HQ, or at least a decent 200mb+ per episode. I'll probably have to buy an external hard drive soon come to think of it... :| They're freaks!! Unless they're playing "educational" games. XDD What I probably hate more is all-rounders that are hardout in everything. D: It makes it even harder to compete with them.
And then even if you do borrow it off someone, you'd need to spend at least a week or two to get through all of it. D: Lucky, I wouldn't have the will to keep up unless I had started watching with it when it first aired. Yay, crazed fan! XD Even though that can lead to otaku-ness. :o Nope, unfortunately we don't. ;; The closest we get is the Armageddon Expo, which happens in Australia too I think.
Yess!! Or a paintball fight, even if that would hurt more. xD Oooh, me too!! <3 I'm in a sky blue house~ :3 But we have the whole secondary school (yr9-13) split into 8 different houses. Haha, canteen duty doesn't sound fun at all! So fair enough, xD Um well, everyone in Year 13 is regarded as a senior - being the top of the school and all. So basically, everyone who has a leadership role and is in year 13 is a senior leader. :D Games don't sound too bad. I don't really have to do much for Peer Support, except have a little Year 9 buddy to look after this term.

Yay!! <3 That's great, MAYO PASSED~ ^^ *throws a party* /random But I thought Engineering would have been one of the more popular subjects? Most people from my school are considering doing Engineering or Medicine at uni. =\ That IS AWESOME. I want to do that... it reminds me of the shoujo robot they just made in Japan recently. Awww... FINE, YOU WIN. :D
And I don't think I'll be going anywhere near Aussie again anytime soon. "Kiwi Land"? XD That's the first time I've ever heard of that! :3 (Yeah, but we'd get pass that! Maybe~ xD)

Sheep aren't really that associated with a generalised farm though. I'd say I have once or twice, but yeah, it's very rare to. Is that the general Aussie stereotype?? XD I couldn't really think of one to be honest. Yep and yet there's such a fierce rivalry too. :3

I would suggest it, but as we follow the national curriculum, it would never be accepted since we'd get the chance at uni. ABs? What do they stand for?
I think they mean the same thing. :O

Alex <3

XD That should do the trick.

If I cheat at all, it's to get "event" Pokemon, 'cause they're awesome XD

By the way, I did just beat Summon Night this morning, and I did get Milli's ending (OK, ifMilanor from Yggdra Union is Milly, then Millisar gets to be Milli XD)! And it was so cute ><' Now to restart my second file as Aldo/whatever I wanna call him and get an ending with him and Ticah ><'

Hmm... Depending on the consoles you have, I highly recommend the PS2 ones (which I've only been able to play on my friend's PS2...) or the GBA and DS ones, even though most of those are remakes XD

But Mayo, the two are meant to be antonyms not synonyms. :3 Interesting is the best word there I think. Yes, damned English. Which is why I dropped it~ XD
6 more episodes of HQ anime. XD Ah, that's unlucky. I'm pretty much the only who uses it so I get most of the bandwith. That's lucky!! I wish that were the case for me. I know, it's good in some ways but I wish I could play on the Internet and still do awesome at school. xD
200-something+ episodes would really make me fill up my hard drive too quickly as well, so I don't really think it would that good an idea. D: I know exactly what you mean!! I do the same thing~ I always just keep on downloading and watching them just to find out what happens even though I know I should have stopped ages ago. XD
It does, but there's hardly any action at all! Our school should buy guns or something. XD Oooh, you have houses too? I'm one of the senior leaders in the house, so I ended up volunteering for it. :3

I'm sure you will; I'm cheering for you! :D Yes, I'm definitely suprised! But in a good way~! ;D My plans aren't that perfect, I still have no idea what to do at uni. xD Oooh, robots. That sounds like so much fun, I wish we got to do that. Aww... poor May *pats on head*
KAGU DOESN'T HAVE SUPER POWERS. ;_; SO MAYO > KAGU. Yeah, I'd love to meet up. Well, if you ever come to NZ or I go to Perth then we should meet up. ^^ (Don't worry, I'd probably be the same. xD)
I know! It's so strange, but still so awesome. ^_^

Oh yes, horses. Why don't I think of that? XD Funnily enough, the same is said about Aussies here! It is stereotypical, but it's somewhat to be expected. xD Even though the two countries are actually quite similar. Awww, okay I see. Well, I'll catch you when I see you! :3

Nope, there isn't any sort of Engineering subject offered at high school in NZ. It's an university course here. The closest I get is Physics + Calculus.
Maybe we should use a dictionary? :o (I think I know the answer, but I don't wanna say~)

Alex <3
p.p.s. It is, only slightly. But I like it this way. :3

Hah, I used guides for Riviera. GameFaqs, of course XD (I do that with pretty much any RPG that has an interesting style, or with games like Legend of Zelda)

And I love to name all my Pokemon. So when I can't name a traded one, usually annoys me (and I wish there was some way to find the secret ID of the Pokemon traded so you could use a cheat to rename it >.>), but hey, who knows? XXD

It depends on the game. Overtime, after playing a trillion Final Fantasy games, I've gotten better, but I usually resort to cheats in the end ><'

If unboring isn't a word... then it's rounded off to the nearest word = boring. xD
You have more than me. *ttly jealous* xD I only have 10GB. Haha. My parents would be more than happy to restrict my bandwith to try to get me to study. D:
I can see some of the appeal in it, but it's just how there's so many episodes to catch up on that really puts me off. ;_;
Our one was just to show them around the school facilities, we have separate ones for seeing the school in action type of stuff. Ouch, that mustn't have been too fun. xD

Since it's something you enjoy, it'll be easier to improve on and learn too. :D ENGINEERING? :O *drops plans to do medicine and chooses engineering next year instead* Waah, I don't know why, but I never would have thought you would do engineering~ BUT IT IS!! But Mayo is superhuman so it doesn't apply. ;D OKAY, MAYBE NOT FAIL BUT DO HORRIBLY YES. Definitely ftw. :D Haha, I can imagine us getting along really well in RL then. ^^
I never do, I just... end up confuzzled. xD OF COURSE! Forever and ever. :3

I think of sheep when I hear farm. And not in the sheep-stereotype way that NZ gets. xD I see, sounds interesting. Aww... first/second week? But don't you only get a two week holiday??

Me too~ And here I was thinking that engineering was the imagination world. XD
Waaait~ which one is it? :o

Alex <3

Well, it WAS ages ago... But just talking about it has gotten me to begin playing again XD And so far, I'm pretty much pwning (Ticah and Lila ftw <3). I have yet to get Millisar, though I am getting there. And it made me realize how some of the characters were similar to some of the characters in Riviera XD

And I agree. Swordcraft Story 2 wasn't as enjoyable (Lin wasn't even that pretty compared to the girls from Twin Age >.>). I like renaming pretty much anything, so... XD

Luminous Arc sounds like Final Fantasy, boss battle-wise. Unless you're using cheats or you've pretty much battled in whatever battles you took part in, you're likely to fall to a boss XD But I'll look into it; I need to get the American edition of Platinum first (since I'm kinda low on money). It'll be a lot easier playing it and actually understanding what they're saying, since I own an original copy and all.
