Hurricanes scare the bejoozes out of me, so glad I don't live anywhere near hurricane alley...

That said, I do live near a pretty major fault line, and we're still waiting for "The Big One" (earthquake) to hit...

@Totalanimefan: I miss our mild summers so much, now I live in fear of +36 C days
It's bad enough how stupid hot it gets, doesn't help that I react really badly to too much sun exposure (learned on a trip in summer 2017 that I end up breaking out in hives if I get too much sun....being itchy and hot is the literal worst)

Flooding, wildfires, hurricanes, not to mention the glaciers melting and receding faster than ever and what it's doing to the arctic... the number of species we're going to lose....

And the other thing that's so hard is the feeling of "what difference can one individual really make"... Corporations really need to step up

@Shark: Not to worry, it happens! It seems the exchange is relatively slow/quiet =)

I might skip on the Gems of Wonder to bring my request down to 38k ^^;
I've only got about 8k Volts on me, but I do have some Ohms and a Catching Stars I could potentially trade for something?

How many things are you willing to hold and for how long? I'd like to at the very least buy a couple of things right away, thinking the Unique Unzipped Hoodie and the Unique Long Tussled Hair (4k?)

@CooperationIsKey: Rainbow items are awesome and I hope to be able to collect a bunch of them and make all sorts of fun rainbow avis ^^

Oof, that's just awful. I'm also very glad he's out of your life =)
Wait what, yeah you definitely call or text before just showing up, unless it's supposed to be a surprise.
Also, what is it with parents and privacy? Mine don't exactly read my diary, but my dad has this awful habit of knocking and then opening my bedroom door without waiting for me to give him the OK to come in...

*sputters* I...what...but....Isn't that what food assistance is for?

I feel like we need to mosey along to happier topics, haha, although it's certainly cathartic to whine about this stuff with someone else =)

@CooperationIsKey: Is it too much? I could always just do it with usernames but not with the rest of the post?
@Totalanimefan: Ahh, maybe? I dunno, I seem to not be having great luck haha. I'll let this thread sit for a little bit and if no one else offers we could give this a try?
Maple

@Totalanimefan: Ah, that's perfect ^^ Sounds like a great way to share the extras

Technically I do, but not in the US part of it. I live fairly close to the BC/Washington border. It was awful, do not want.
If this doesn't prove that global warming is a thing, I dunno what will. We hit the 40 C range, which we NEVER do D:
One town even hit like 49 C...and now there's forest fires all over the place D:

@CooperationIsKey: Yay! I'm so glad it's not horrible to read =) I feel like it's almost -too- fitting not to use in here xD

It's gonna be a little weird posting though, because I can't hit Enter in between new lines in the code generator xD

And the gradients are gonna be all weird and different depending on how long my sentences are too xD

I actually also feel like it's easier to read when I don't bold the text?
@Totalanimefan: I really appreciate it! I didn't have great luck with the orbs, haha, 3 of the same thing!

@ChiffonOrange: Mmhmm, I have to be careful with it cause I know some places have legibility guidelines, and I don't wanna make it hard for people to read my posts.

She'll definitely get some clothes and hair and stuff soon, I'm just kinda focused on the main 3 first =)


@CooperationIsKey: I love your rainbow avi so much! Ahhh, so colourful!

But yeah, you're very right. "Parents gonna parent" while you're under their roof. I'm in my 30s and still live with my parents, I've never lived on my own. I dunno how you wouldn't just be like "Dad, I'm 30" every time he did it...
It's weird that even though my dad retired before I even got my first job and that I'm now in my 3rd job and making a fairly decent wage that he's still sorta controlling over how I manage my finances. I know what I'm doing, I'm not spending beyond my means, and I'm not in debt, so why does he get after me about it?
@Totalanimefan: Oof, 11 of the bangs >_< they're not even something you can use multiple poses of, that sucks
I hope you're able to sell or donate them to people that want them ^^

I haven't posted in like a week because of the heat T_T Must find people to post with more regularly! haha

I don't even know about Dappervolk or Recolor.Me, haha, I feel like I'm so out of touch with avi sites.
Last one I was on was Caedon, before those I was on Ernya and Syndrone. I'm still sad about Ernya shutting down.
Gaia was my first, I still peek back in there from time to time, mostly for zOMG!

@ChiffonOrange: Not to worry, I sometimes go a couple of days between checking for notifications and then I have like 7 replies to track down xDD
I'm just worried using the rainbow font thing all the time when chatting would be annoying and also hard to read for some people, Plus depending on what site theme different people are using it may not show up as well. I'm using one with a black background, so it's great for me, but it might suck for someone using the default or a lighter colour.

It also suits one of my other OCs better, and I haven't bought anything to dress as her yet xD


@CooperationIsKey: Yeah, cleaner edges sound like a really good thing. I think what always bothered me when I wear darker lipsticks is the huge contrast between the lip colour and the inside of my mouth when I'm talking.

Oof, I am so sorry you had to deal with that. I sort of do to a much lesser extreme, I'm in my 30s and my parents still try and coax me to come down for dinner when I'm doing things with friends, or my dad will wake up in the middle of the night, see my bedroom light on, and come upstairs just to tell me to "go to bed". I sorta feel like at 30 they shouldn't be attempting to "parent" as much anymore? IDK...
