I am currently the owner of 17 parakeets. Why do I have so many? Mostly because the ones I have now, besides two, have been bred here at the house. I have two females that are bought from a pet store, but the others are all ones that were born here at my house. Long story short, I started with two parakeets in 2013 and (and bought 2 more a year later) and between then and now, I've accumulated all these others. They're offspring of the originals I bought, plus their offspring and etc.

Owning that many parakeets can get loud. Also you have to make sure you have plenty of room, and separate males from females unless you are purposely pairing them off for breeding. Otherwise you'll have males fighting over females and that can get dangerous. Also pairing females together can also be iffy, since some females will lay unfertilized eggs during the breeding season, and having another female getting too close can cause her to be attacked, so that's something else to worry about. I have mostly males, and they are together in a large cage against my wall. I have two females in one cage on my desk, another two together on my bookshelf, and then two sisters together up on top in a smaller cage. So far everyone gets along so that's good. Also you ask "why don't you sell them?" and I'll say: Partially one reason I don't want to sell them, is because I'm super picky about who owns them. I want to know they'll go to a good home, and not to strange people. Its like giving your child away to strangers. You want to make sure the person you give them to, will care for them and not mistreat them. Also, I get too attached to them when they're babies, so it makes it hard to give them/sell them off when I get attached.

If anyone has questions about parakeets, I probably will have an answer lol.

Inuyasha was my favorite anime when I was a young 20 something college student. I was 18-20ish when this came out and I was obsessed with the characters. Mainly Sesshoumaru. I totally didn't have a shrine of him in my room. I still have a figurine, a plushy and a shirt I got from a local anime convention I went to in 2005. (I dressed up as Shippo and a friend of mine who went with me went as Miroku.)

The fact that there's a new anime based on the kids of the characters sort of worries me. Some spin-off shows do work, but there are a lot of flops out there. With Inuyasha being one of my favorites, I'm really on the fence about how well this is going to take off. I really hope that they don't ruin the characters personalities since they now have kids....also the fact that Sesshoumaru has kids???? I mean that just really takes me in mind set that I never thought possible. Even though (And I'm sure others have done this too) I have paired my OC with Sesshoumaru (also resulting in kids) it's just a fun fan-fic. The fact that it's cannon now, just makes it weird lol.

I hope that it comes out well. I'll check it out definitely but I'll pass judgment on how good it is, when I see it.

Hi o/

I'm a child of the 90s so I grew up playing a lot of DOS games on my old Tandy computer back when we had a brick PC. I got only educational games, (With a few others mixed in that weren't) but I played Oregon Trail Deluxe, Amazon Trail 2, and Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego. When I found DOS BOX emulator I found as many as those I could find. Sadly only Oregon Trail Deluxe I could find, and there was a bad version of Amazon Trail, but Amazon Trail 2 wasn't there because technically that wasn't really DOS. That game came out that had green screened characters and what not, which put it in a higher bracket, so I've not been able to play that which makes me sad.

As for video games/consoles I never really grew up with any until N64 came out. I only had 3 games for that. Mario 64 and Mischief Makers (Both games I sucked at) and Pokemon Snap. Pokemon as far as a video game was my jam. I played all the Pokemon games even up through DS, even though I skipped Diamond/Pearl for Black/White since I got my DS when Black/White came out, but I played Diamond after when I waited for Black/White 2 to drop. And as an avid Pokemon player, starting from Blue and making my way through, I saw the evolution of the games get very....easy as time went on. Pokemon Blue/Red was a difficult game in terms of leveling up your team to be able to beat gyms. The last game I played before the Switch, was Sun/Moon and it was very hand-holdy even for a Pokemon Game. They showed you step by step where to go, instead of handing you a Pokemon and letting you figure things out for yourself. Even X/Y MADE you catch Rayquaza for the side quest, in order to beat Dioxys. And that game also included you riding on Latias's back once you got the flute for it. But I digress.

I was mostly a PC person when it came to games, and I do like replaying the ones I can find for the DOS BOX once in a while. Also finding old Game Boy Roms for the old Game Boy I had growing up as well. Sorry for the wall of text, but thought I'd contribute.

@vengeance: I would love some event/knick knackfreebies!

Event/knick knack items wishlist! I just joined yesterday so I don't know what to ask for. I like unicorns, pastel rainbows, purple things, cute things and crescent moons. Hope that helps.

I'm 34, so as far as older people go, don't worry about that. I've honestly not RPed much as of late, 1 because I'm super picky about who I RP with, and the fact that I've not found anywhere to RP at. I had a couple friends I used to RP with all the time, but they've been busy or I lost touch with them. To the person above who said they don't like slice of life, that's fine. I like that occasionally but I also like fantasy stories since I grew up reading Mercedes Lackey books that are full of that genre.

Even if I don't stick around I'm glad this place is here for those who like sites like Gaia but don't like how over saturated it has become. Once they got the cash shop, that's when things went down hill. People having to use real $ to buy really nice looking things. Don't get me wrong on the artists on Gaia. They make very beautiful things, I just don't want to use real money to get them.

I am usually a Semi para RPer. I don't really like long super lengthy posts. It's not really easy to find more lax, laid back kind of RP anywhere anymore. Roliana used to be great for that, but they lost a lot of players when they did their upgrade to the site. Gaia is like a total opposite of what I'm looking for. Too many people using custom images for their threads, with complicated rules and using templates in order to even post! I'm the kind of person who is like...ok this is the story, these are the characters, lets just RP and not get fancy.

Well like I said, it's not too hard to navigate, I just wish there were more games then puzzles. How are you supposed to make money on here? Just post on forums then?

Hi, I'm Crystalkitsune. I found out a link to this place from a Reddit about Ernya, which was one of the few sites like Gaia that sadly no longer exists. I'm from the OG Gaia and with recent boredom of staying home I've been checking out new places to hang out. Gaia is okay if you only want to dress up your avatar lately, since RPing or any other forum type stuff is hard to get into with Walls o Text. I was also on Roliana before they updated to 2.0 and sadly Roliana is also gone as of June of last year. I've also tried Crysandria when it existed, Menewsha which still exists, as well as Tinier Me. Most of these forum-based, avatar dress up places have died out while Gaia still tops over all.

I'm not new to places like these, they're pretty self explanatory. My only concern is how quiet the RP forum is. Seems like nobody really RPs here which is a slight concern, but I do like what I see so far. If I stick around, I'll probably lurk more than anything, but thought I'd at least say hi.
