@vengeance: Oh wow, they're so soft and detailed. I would have liked Ernya if I had seen it sooner.

@bonnie: I feel that. I may have an avatar or two saved from Roliana, but I don't have any of my
contest winners or even a list of the items I had. If it's rebooted, I can only hope all of the old stuff is still there.

What happened to Ernya?
@Priestess of Pie: I would love to have a place of my own because I. Love. Silence.
But I'm also a bit of an extrovert, so being completely alone in my house would drive me insane.
If I had my own place and could afford a pet, I would probably be in my own personal paradise.

What happened the first time you had a home of your own, if you don't mind my asking?
When I was living with a boyfriend for a couple years, it was us and two other male roommates.
And it was a NIGHTMARE. The house was always disgusting and I felt like I was suffocating there.

I don't think I'm familiar with Ernya. From my really poor memory, I remember Gaia, Roliana, and Menewsha.
What did your avatars look like? That might jog my memory lmao
@Priestess of Pie: I wouldn't say I was ever fully independent? I went from living with my parents to living
with a high school boyfriend, and then living with a high school best friend, and then ended up back with my dad.
Even if I made enough money to afford my own place, I think I would be too overwhelmed taking on home ownership
without any experience. The internet can only teach you how to do so much >>;

Taxes aren't tooooo bad, but I have wages and insurance and grants and I'm way too afraid of screwing something up in the process.

After Gaia got too big and complicated, I left it for dead. But then I missed the routine of checking into forums and
playing with avatars, so I poked around and found Roliana and liked their small, detailed items and avis. I stuck to it
for a couple of years consistently, really loved it, and then it shut down. I can't even remember why the first time?
I came back for Roli 2.0, but it wasn't the same. I think the staff was just too small to manage everything by themselves.
@Priestess of Pie: It's something I've thought long and hard about, and for me, I think it was how I was raised.
My parents were amazing, don't get me wrong, but between them cushioning me and school not really teaching
me how to go out and be an adult, I'm just too uncertain about making my own decisions?

Like one day I just woke up and decided to go back to school, so I drove to my local community college and asked
someone how I enroll. And then did it the same day. But those spurts of motivation are FEW and far between.
I'd be more proactive in doing things if I was more confident that what I was doing was the right thing to be doing.

Like TAXES. What am I looking at.

@Bonnie: I entered a few back in my hayday in Roliana and won a handful.
It was fun! I'd like to try doing it again. I gotta get the hang of things first, I think :V

@Vengeance: Hello! I'm enjoying this charity as a hangout spot. Don't wanna ask for any newbie handouts until
I know for sure if I'm gonna be consistent on here >> enjoying the conversations though
I would like to be able to sing really well. I don't think my singing is terrible, but I'd like to be AWE-INSPIRING.
I'm already a confident artist, did some sports in my youth (*wizened 25 year-old sigh*), and dabbled with music and dance (did NOT pan out).

Honestly, though, if I could do anything I'd like to be better at accomplishing tasks. It sounds basic, but it's hard for me.
I know what I need to do, but I procrastinate out of fear that I'm going to do the task wrong or dread doing it.
Then it never gets done and I panic to finish something before a deadline. I suppose they do make pills for that,
so I wouldn't have to kill for it. But it's another thing I'll put off fixing until I die lmao

@Bonnie: It's a cute avi! I didn't mean to gravitate towards brown when I started buying stuff,
but I guess it's convenient. Hopefully I can throw something together before the entry period is over.

Have you ever entered any avatar contests before?

@boyrrito: Thank you! I saw yours in one of the first forums I poked around in and loved the peach tones ♥o♥
@totalanimefan: I can tell! Everyone has been really friendly and generous.
@McMoney: Noodles are acceptable pets. I have two dogs! One is a rescued black lab named Toby, but he looks like he has to be mixed with either a
rottweiler or a doberman. His legs are looong with some red/brown dark fur and his tail was docked when he was a puppy.
I also have a labrador/australian shepherd/pitbull mix named Sadie. She's got a boxy head and asymmetrical speckles and is an idiot.
@Colan: Oh that sounds like a WRINKLY boy! Do you have any pictures?

@inatlaka: I hope I can pay it forward someday
Posted in Newcomer supply depot Posted 5 years ago
@Bonnie: All we can do is try lmao
Also CUTE avi :O are you entering that monthly avatar thing? I glanced at it briefly when I was poking around.

P.S. Passing out for tonight, hopefully I'll pop back in tomorrow!

@inatlaka: I'm gonna LOSE IT over these big antlers you sent!!! >:O
