@Theory: Never really liked Mene aside from their games, and I don't think I ever really got into Trisphee.
I've been a wanderer again since my bad run with Sapherna and now Voltra, the two places I had considered home.
Now I don't know where, if anywhere, that I belong.
There is also Tattered Weave but I prefer sites that put more emphasis on forum participation over collecting and crafting shit.

Yes, I had discussed it with my RP group and our own site seemed to be the best option.
So now we have our own place, and all our RP's have either been transferred to the new site or at least to a google doc for referencing.
I do wish there was more of a notice for Sapherna's closing, but I'm just glad they gave us the two weeks instead of 'hey, we're closing tomorrow bye'.

@anarchist beauty: I met some great people on mene and tris back in the day, though I don't know how many of 'em are still around :/
I did try out Tattered Weave for a while too but yeah... same. :P

Yeah, it did seem sudden... My partner is one of the devs and I didn't know anything until the announcement :/ You're right though, two weeks is better than a day, I guess. I'll miss it, but I hope the maintenance goes well. I'm rooting for them.

@Theory: I love TW for their cute avis and fun games, but other than that it's dead. I prefer a thriving forum presence and TW just doesn't have that. Which is a damn tragedy.

@Auxillatrix: Hey boo, welcome. c:

@Anarchist beauty: Yeah, it's a shame. I had a lot of fun poking around when I joined, but eventually I lost interest.

@Theory: Same.
Tired of losing interest in places. T_T

@Anarchist beauty: I'm sure it's gonna happen to me a lot more with saph being down... But hopefully I find something that keeps me entertained, whether it's Voltra or someplace else.

I might try to rope more people to my discord sever and just kick it there for awhile. lol

@Theory: Whoop! I almost never meet people on avatar sites from Michigan, that's amazing. :D
@Anarchist Beauty: Hello! How's it going? :> Your avatar is rocking the green~

Yaaas, gotta have that St Patty's green for at least a little while!

@Anarchist beauty: That's not a bad idea haha. I'm almost never on discord but I suppose I'd get on it more often if I had a good reason to.

@Auxillatrix: I've met like five others probably? Whereabouts in Michigan are you? I'm from the UP originally but I now live near Detroit. :)

@Theory: Not at all, I have very good ideas. lol
I love discord, it's great. I don't know how anyone ever settles for skype when it exists.

@Anarchist Beauty: I love seeing all the green avatars around this time. Unfortunately I'm never good at making them myself. :'>
@Theory: Really? o: I think other than you, I know one, maybe two, lol. I'm also near Detroit, not super close, but close enough that I can commute to school there. :> I've actually never been to the UP, but my s/o went a year ago and they told me it was gorgeous there. :O

@Auxillatrix: Usually I am not either.
I don't much like green as a color.

Donator — Yes Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/03/17 21:50:45 )
@Anarchist Beauty: Ah yeah, not being too fond of a color can definitely make it hard to make an avatar out of it. I tend to just go overboard with avatars and ruin them by making them too cluttered, lol.

@Anarchist beauty: Dude, skype crashes my computer half the time. Not worth it :|

@Auxillatrix: Oh neat! What are you studying? I kinda wish I could go back to grad school but I don't drive and public transportation is basically nonexistent here x_x

Some parts of the UP are beautiful, we have lakes and waterfalls and huge forests... It's a nice place to vacation. Wouldn't recommend living there, except for like three cities, though.

@Theory: Yeah, public transport is ass around here. I'm lucky enough to have a ride up there when I need one. ; w; I'm aiming to be able to teach high school sciences, but with all the recent... Events, I may have to change that, heh heh... What would you study if you went back/what did you study? o:

Ah, that sounds so pretty! Would you not recommend living there because it's hard to get to things, or is there another reason?

@Auxillatrix: Pretty similar actually; I'd like to teach math! I have a bachelor's already so I either need a master's in math to teach at the college level, or a Michigan teaching certificate to teach middle/high school (which I could get as part of a master's in education). Grad school is so expensive though and I'm already knee deep in debt... and of course, as you noted, teaching middle/high school is looking less appealing by the minute x_x

Well, I grew up in a small town, and there is just nothing to do for fun unless you like getting high in the parking lot behind the police station. It's also a pretty conservative place in general, except for the bigger cities or college towns, so unless you're a cis, straight, white Christian, you might have trouble making friends.

@Theory: Man math is great! It's something that I always enjoyed taking, I thought about minoring in it but I don't want to have to go to school for even longer than I already need to. :< Like ya said, school is hella expensive and honestly, and the more years I go, I wonder if it's worth it. Every time I tell people I want to be a teacher, I get comments like "what if you, like, went into _________ instead," and "but you are so good at ________!" It's honestly really discouraging. Throw all of that on top of "teachers should be armed!" and I just... I could drop out and become a forager. I don't trust myself with a gun lmao.
Okay wow I got a little off topic lol. But yeah, actually figuring out how to go about actually doing school while trying not to drown in debt, is a struggle I wish that I and everyone else never had to deal with. No matter what you choose to do, though, I wish you the best of luck! :'>

Oh, oh god, no no, no no no. I am not... I would not fit in there, lol. I would honestly just make friends with the wild animals lol. Also, laughed really hard at the getting high comment. Getting high behind a police station is a bold move, I love it.
