@Anarchist Beauty: I had a reply all written out for this and then my PC crashed xDD
YES! Super-genius. I hope we get similar stripe options for like the basic tee and long sleeve, cause I LOVE stripey tees/sweaters ♥
I went looking through my Ernya items, cause I have screenshots of one of my inventories, and I didn't see wedge sandals, but that may also have been because I wasn't a big fan of most of the shoes.... I always seem to have an issue finding shoes I like on avatar sites xD

@Totalanimefan: Yup, it's still around, at least in Oregon!
I'm surprised FL and CA would be that different, but I guess different coasts maybe different tastes/demographics?
I've only really spent time in Washington and Oregon because of where my boyfriend lives, and the biggest thing I notice is how small the international food sections are compared to what I'm used to at home - but they both have pretty good sized Mexican food sections, which is just fine by me!!
I know one thing that really surprised me is how difficult it is to find plum sauce in the grocery stores we were shopping in because there aren't a lot of Asian foods. We might have better luck in Oregon than we did in Central Washington though xDD

@Wildfire: Ooh, I like the idea of dis-inventing that kind of ego!
Another idea one of my friends came up with is un-inventing guns, and I agree, I don't even like them when used as tools.
Same friend suggested uninventing the concept of capitalism.
Ooh, I'd love to hear about your creative projects! I have a bunch of things I'd like to do as well, but there never seems to be enough time xD
I just had a long weekend and it was too hot to do anything T_T
Wackiest thing done to help a friend... maybe bought an expensive hobby item from them? (hobby we both share)
Actually, I've done that a couple times for two different friends for the same hobby xDDD

@Totalanimefan: I almost feel like it depends where you shop, like when I've been down in Portland visiting my boyfriend we've had times where we can't find vanilla coke at Wal-mart but it's at Target or Safeway.
That's very possible though, and I don't know if there have been supply chain issues with it at all.
But yeah, one thing I've definitely noticed about the difference between home and the States is the amount of variety available in US supermarkets is astounding xD

@Totalanimefan: Not in the US xD so generally our selection isn't as vast as the US gets
We don't even get vanilla coke anymore T_T

@Anarchist Beauty: Oh, the browser game? It's called PokeFarm Q (usually shortened to PFQ). It's clicking game where you can hatch Pokemon and hunt shinies and a couple other unique types of specials. There's a bunch of other mechanics, but that's the main thing ^^
Ah okay, I seem to remember I liked the turquoise but the white and yellow were too bright for me xDD
I love our commons, and I haven't checked in for long enough that I should go see what's new! I think one of my favourite things is that we can buy separate "tight stripes" or "stocking stripes" so that the art team doesn't have to do multiple versions just so we can have every combo of colours we might want ♥
I can't think of any avi sites I've been on that I'd call the commons "ass" (maybe really early Gaia? Although they still have issues with none of their shades matching xDDD)
I still miss Ernya's commons, but alas T_T

@Totalanimefan: Hey! It's been a very long time, good to see you!!
Cornbread sounds awesome right now, I wish I knew more places to get it!
I don't think we have Hanks or IBC here. Dad's is one of the other rootbeer brands I like, but it's not very common I don't think?

@Totalanimefan: Oooh, cornbread is good! I love cornbread! Especially from this one particular place, and I haven't had it in so long T_T
Root beer is definitely hit and miss, and everyone has their favourite. I'm personally partial to A&W root beer, but I'll drink Mug or Barq's if there's no other options. Although I ordered delivery from A&W a couple days ago and the fountain rootbeer tasted really weird...
I've had friends tell me it tastes like toothpaste xD
@sunny: We stayed in the Bayswater area, visited the British Museum twice (and it still wasn't enough!), one of the Imperial War museums, Hyde Park, 221B Baker Street, Abbey Road studios (my dad and I are Beatles fans), we rode the London Eye, I talked people into going to the Museum of Modern Art. I think we might've gone to the National Gallery as well? It was back in 2008 so I'm having trouble remembering without looking at our photos xDD
We also spent a week in Penzance, Cornwall while we were there! Penzance was amazing, and even more like home because it was right on the seaside! It's crazy how things have hardly changed their in 200 years (we visited a local museum and saw photos from the 1800s). We also went on this amazing tour of some of the historical sites, but sadly the guy who ran that has since passed away =(

@Wildfire: Good morning!!
Ooh, dis-invent something? What an interesting question!!
I would love to say something like "computer glitches" but then I wouldn't have a job xDD and there's no such thing as a perfect piece of software, we're only human xDD
Are we allowed to uninvent concepts? I'd love to un-invent bullying!
An item I'd un-invent though? That's tricky...
My friends said "laptops with speakers on the bottom" and "plastic"

@sunny: It was! I had a chance to go again several years later, but we ended up only being over there for 46 hours =(
I want to go back so badly, there's so much I still haven't had a chance to see
Ohh, Asda sounds interesting. I wonder if they import some American stuff if they're owned by Wal-mart =O

@sunny: I always love comparing things between Canada and the UK, 'cause there are a few things we don't get here that I think are pretty common over there.
I was lucky enough to visit London about 10 years ago and it was amazing how similar it felt to home. I actually felt more at home in London than I do in the States when I visit there xD
I really hope you're able to get some mac & cheese. It's super quick and easy, and also works well as a base for other dishes. My boyfriend taught me about "chili mac" - can of chili and a box of mac & cheese, prep both as normal and then mix!

@Anarchist Beauty: Haha, it sure does. Especially between work and things starting to open back up. Doesn't help that I've been addicted to a Pokemon browser game xD
Spam threads sound like a good plan, I might have to go dig mine up xD
I don't remember what the default theme looks like anymore, haha, I've been using the dark one for so long because easier on the eyes.
I used to change my avi a ton, but I'm still working on building up my inventory. We've got a lot of great commons, so I've been trying not to focus too hard on the crate & orb items
I had a hard time picking a face too, most of my avis are the same face with different eye colours to differentiate between characters xDDD

Anarchist Beauty:
- Alchemists Fire: Which theme are you using?
You could always find specific decorations for your post styles for each avi OC you have.
I've always been one who likes to match my post style to my avi.
I was going to do it again for my current, but couldn't think of anything I liked. lol
Plus I am changing her today to an 'after Vday' darker look.
I think I might have an idea on a post decoration for that avi though, so we'll see.
@anarchist beauty: And then I disappear for 6 months xD
I'm using the Trick or Treat theme, as I prefer darker colours (easier on the eyes), and I love Halloween.
Decorations might be a better way to do it than font colours, I'm always concerned about legibiltiy because one of the other sites I'm on has sorta strict rules about it.
I probably haven't changed my avi in over a year, I really should let one of my other OCs have some time running around the site xDD
