I'm actually fine not having a smartphone. It forces me to actually disconnect when I'm travelling. I get a lot of thinking done on public transit. :P

@Fozzy: Man, that second spoiler's worth of shoes don't seem like they'd be very comfortable on my feet. :P

For all intents and purposes, I really don't have a cell phone. I have one that's basically a brick that can call and text, with some prepaid minutes. And it's off, unless I'm expecting something, or need to use it for an emergency or something. The amount of people that I have to regularly communicate with with it... is basically zero.
I just use Skype or Facebook to connect with all my friends.

For me, the computers in elementary were basically all for educational games - typically math - and learning how to type. The latter of which I, uh, never really learned how to do well. I can get a decent speed going when I look at the keyboard, but... >.>;

And, yeah, the freedom of being able to have your own computer? I was finally able to get that in the last year of high school. (And which was the main reason I was even able to get into Pokémon Tabletop, because... well, my parents have a fairly low opinion of "childish pursuits". Screw that, though. I have fun, and that's what matters.) Before getting that, I never really had too much internet freedom. So, I was certainly a late arrival to all things internet. Even stuff like forums. XD

Blame Slytherclaw. Not only did she manage to keep it around on my Facebook feed, but also kept mentioning it, and then went around telling people when it was open. So, I joined, and here I am. :P

Well, since no one else has added anything, I might as well do something with this.

@alexis: Yeah, I suppose that's true. Always something to consider. I'm so indecisive, though, that it probably won't end up happening, if I'm being 100% honest with myself. XD

I've always wanted to die my hair, and I might at some point... but, it almost seems like more trouble than it's worth. I always love seeing people who have bright/vibrant hair colours, though.

Bellossom. I dunno, you just remind me of the Beauties from X and Y. XD

Oh, yeah, I understand that. I mean, it's not like it's going anywhere. XD
"Quick, guys, Shadami's coming, we need to move domain names."

@shadami: If you're willing to try play by post (I know, it's not for everyone, you can check out here. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to keep an eye out for a little bit, given that there are no games currently recruiting, but eventually more will pop up. They like to come in waves.

@Slytherclaw: If you want, I can have a look-see post something in there. I just figured I've got enough games, I don't need my voice heard. :P

@shadami: Ouch. I know the feeling of schedules breaking up games. That happened to all the D&D games I ran/played in. That's why I just play/run PbP PTU now. (Which we now have a separate website for, run by people who actually care about PbP.)

I used to collect the cards, but very rarely actually played. I've still got a big binder full of them, but they're just collecting dust right now. (Also, nice name. :P)

@Lily: I dunno what the new one's called. All I know is that it made curing status hilariously easy...
And the class is a History of Video Games. So, every week we'll learn about some part of the era, and then have to relate a game that we play to that. It's just a short little piece, only ~500 words a week, but there'll be some larger projects.
