@Elithiya: I'm not the skinniest person in the world - I already get overheated easily, thus making the summer my least favorite season. It's very pretty, don't get me wrong. But way too many places where I live don't have air conditioning, making it a miserable time of year for me. Give me late spring or the entire fall season, and I'm happy as a clam! Sweater weather is my favorite kind.

Hufflepuff. Such bright, cheery colors! Plus, only a hufflepuff could be angelic enough to actually have - and keep! - an actual angel's halo.

Only 10 so far ... but this is my first time logging into Voltra for a while!

Eww. Summer. Summer means heat, and sun, and brightness. Lots of brightness. And people showing waaaay too much skin. *hides in her dark corner, with a good book and cold drink*

Welcome to Voltra! What's your favorite video gamer, since you said you are a gamer?

Definitely glad it was only water - like several others, I clicked on the link thinking there was going to actual blood involved, haha. Dead body upstairs, mean poltergeist finally turning on their mojo ...

Like the computer screens from Iron Man that Tony Stark would use ... map, that would be awesome! Way outside my price range, of course, but still awesome!

Welcome back! It's been about 3 weeks for me, so we're in the same boat, haha. Though, for me it is the lack of any internet at home that's stopping me, not college finals! Though my latin course IS currently kicking my butt ...

Holy crap, that's a lot of posts ... Though, granted ... I only get on here once every two weeks or so ... So I obviously don't have the time to post as much as you do, lol. Now, if Voltra has an app for phones, I would be on here so much more often ...

*note: not as hard to beat this play-through as I remember from when I was a kid! I'm re-playing the game for the first time in over a decade.*

@Angelus: Well, they close at 8pm. And I usually work 12 - 8pm. So on the days I work, I literally work from before they open, to when they close. So I can't go on those days. My days off are usually Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - all the days they are closed. Every once in a while I will get another day off, but it's not a guaranteed thing. So there are many weeks where I can't use their internet at all, leaving me with only my 5 gb of data to use as the internet on my phone - and that goes fast!

I live in a town of less than 1,000 people. Tiny, tiny place. We don't even HAVE a town library. The only place with public wifi is a small brew pub, only open 4 days a week.

@SirLionelNigelConrad: Dude, I have no car. I have no car because I can't afford one. I work at the only store in my tiny town, which has less than 2,000 people living in it. I work maximum hours at that store. But I still don't make enough for the cheapest internet from the only company that serves my area. To afford internet, I would have to either not pay my electric bill, or I only pay part of my rent. Both of these are not solutions that will actually work.

Not everybody has the same ability as you do, to earn more money. The resources that are available to me are not the same as the ones that are available to you. So please, don't make it out to be like I'm lazy, or not willing to do the work. I am. I am working my a$$ off right now. But it still isn't enough.

So thanks for making me feel like a complete loser who can't succeed at life like you can. Really helping the situation. (That was sarcasm, in case you didn't catch it.)

So, I'm in the process of moving back into my mother's house, as my father is planning to get rid of his house and spend his retirement traveling around the country in a small RV he just bought. Luckily, she lives right across the street from where I work, so it's actually not a bad situation.

The problem? SHE HAS NO INTERNET.

Now, internet where she lives is usually around $80 month. Pretty steep, esecially when I need to give her around $400 a month - or $100 a week, for rent and other bills.

So, now I'm down to having no internet, unless you count my 5 gb phone data plan, which I am blowing through at a rather alarming rate.

Ugh. This sucks.
