@Artemis: I've had two other places I considered my internet home, but sadly they both closed down ; u ; TinierMe (the not japanese one, I tried the japan site when the english one closed, but it just didn't work out for me) and Syndrone Online. Voltra I love for the same reason I fell in love with syndrone, the community is super friendly and inviting ; u ; Or at least anyone I've met so far XD

I'm easily distracted too though x ___ x But I think that's just part of being online, I'm always looking at something or arting with videos or music playing in the background so XD

@Alatariel: That's roughly what happened to me I think ; u ; I guess I just made myself overwhelmed with trying to be on too many sites at once and just... disappeared for a few months ^ ___ ^ ;


@Ixora: It's definitely one of my favorite color combos :P And yeah, I know XD

I mean, Gaia does have rules in place and I'm sure that's part of it so they really shouldn't be surprised?
I have a habit of checking Voltra and just... not replying for days because I'm lazy XD I know I definitely feel more comfy. Part of it probably is the fact that I can just... respond to a conversation when I'm ready (for the most part anyway) whereas irl I'm kind of expected to reply immediately you know?
Speaking of my dog, I don't know why but he started flailing in the chair next to me....? I mean he's calm again now but it was really random XD

I'll have to try checking there again. Last time I went I didn't see any maybe they were sold out at the time...?


@Artemis: Yeah, I don't do well with tons of people. The conversations there go way too fast for me to keep up x ___ x ;
I definitely wasn't there right at the beginning, but I know it was definitely my first site as well. I think I joined maybe a year or so after it started? I'd check but I lost my login info for that account years ago XD

@Alatariel: At this point the main ones I would frequent are here or they died XD Other than that it's "I made an avatar and was there like a day, then forgot I had an account until it was mentioned" XD


@Ixora: Yeah ; u ; I ended up getting an acer nitro 5, and I love it that may be because it's black and red with a light up keyboard which to be honest was always my dream to have when I saw similar ones years ago It's super fast too, though that may just be me going from my old slow laptop to a new one XD The new thing is always faster XD

Interesting... Though I think a lot of the people from gaia went there because of the NSFW factor on recolor, so that might actually make a lot of sense? I know what you mean orz I'm usually off on Thursday and Friday, so I'm online while everyone's at work ; n ;
I'm not very social either way to be honest XD But I have a much easier time with chatting online ; u ; If people try to talk to be irl I tend to go awkward turtle mode and try to get away as soon as I can.... and then I sit at home with my dog doing nothing saying I need more friends to hang out with irl XD

Dude I love kitkats :o Have you ever had the matcha/green tea kitkats? My friend got me hooked on them but THEY'RE SO HARD TO FIND WITHOUT GOING ONLINE.... at least where I live


@Onyx Popcorn: That's definitely good :3
I'm debating on a nap, but honestly I'm not even tired XD I just... want a nap to take one I guess? XD

@Ixora: I completely agree ; u ; I personally have the shadowed cirque, black and red for the win XD I also somehow just NOW realized that it matches my laptop...

I honestly don't really know since I just went to dress up my avatar there basically XD I interacted in the forums maybe once or twice, and that was just with friends from gaia or tinierme basically so... yeah XD I tend to get a little bummed out because when I'm actually here and wanting to chat it seems like almost no one else is here or I'm just not posting in the right spots, but I don't like to leave my space usually and feel odd just... trying to jump into other peoples conversation I guess? XD

That sounds delicious :o I'd have some ice cream but my stepdad and sister ate the last of it yesterday I think orz


@Alatariel: Yeah, it's been a while since I'd remembered about it too XD I don't typically hear it mentioned unless it's in the "what avi sites have you tried" conversations XD

@Ixora: True.... I think for me at least it's just the... I guess sort of sentimental attachment? It's the first avi site I ever joined, so... XD

True x.x Recolor is a bit confusing layout wise, and.... I'm too lazy to figure it out because I only log in like once every.... 6 or so months? Basically whenever I remember it exists to just... see if my account's still there? XD I'm always on at what seems like weird times no matter what site I'm on, so I can relate .___. And yeah :3 I think for me they kinda remind me of TinierMe avatars too, which I'm sure is part of why I enjoy them so much XD

But sugar is delicious XD In all honesty I probably need some more salt in my diet with all this sugar... to balance it out hopefully? XD

@Ixora: lol, yeah. I get what you mean and that's mostly all I've seen over there XD probably the reason I've never really ventured into the forums either now that I think about it... Being nice is so cool

I've also been on recolor, though I was mostly active there between tinierme shutting down and syndrone. I made a trisphee account around the same time as Voltra too I think? XD That was during the transition of "syndrone is dying but I don't really want to go back to gaia either..." but i just... couldn't get into Trisphee despite like all of my syn friends enjoying it? I came here instead XD I just... Like these avis more XD

I did :D Went to an outdoor mall with my mom and stepdad. I mostly went for the truffle store XD I have so much chocolate now >:D


@bum: Doing alright, relaxing for a bit before work. How are you?

@Ixora: baby steps :D XD I mean we could? XD

I joined it because of a high school friend and fell in love with it XD It's honestly the site that made me actually want to stick around avatar sites and be active in the community whereas I think with gaia I would just... keep doing what I do now, log on and maybe change my avi then log off XD Out of curiosity what other sites did you try out/are currently active on? aside from here obviously XD I totally wouldn't know that one at all lol

I bring good news from work. I have my normal Thursday and Friday off next week :D And I also don't have to go in today because we finished early, so that's a plus as well xD


@Onyx Popcorn: I agree D: I enjoy the rain too, but not when it's cold ; n ; I'm pretty tired myself right now, debating on a nap but I'll probably just pass out early tonight instead XD That's good that your friend got out of a toxic relationship though :D

@Ixora: well then o.o I'd say maybe I'll try again, but I doubt that'll happen. I can barely keep up with Voltra because I'm so scatter brained XD

It does :3 I loved the avatars there >w<

Definitely. I like the fact that it gives me more time to do art and I don't feel too bad about staying up too late to try and finish something if I have the next day off XD I'll be finding out when I go in a little later if it's back to normal or not x.x

@Ixora: I go on gaia to change my avi basically XD I'm not used to anything fast paced at all x.x In fact on syndrone (before it went down of course) I often disappeared when threads started moving too fast ; u ; But pings/mentions help me to stick around during busy times because then I know someone's actually talking to me XD Yeah, last I check the Japan site was still up. I just never joined because I can't read japanese and the translation for the page was... weird XD

This is true XD

I actually like having two days in a row better. We used to be on Mondays and Fridays for our days off but our hours for the week made it so we'd end up having to run 6 days a week instead of 5 so we had to do a thing where basically everyone has a different day off and I ended up with Thursday and Friday. I thought I would hate it but turns out I like it a lot more XD I feel like I actually have a break from work with two days, whereas with one day I didn't usually feel like I was off, especially if I had to work 12 hours.

@Unicorn: oh man, that doesn't sound fun at all D:


@Ixora: lol, it's fine :P

I totally get what you mean though x.x Granted I got more online friends through avi sites XD The first one I joined of course was gaia, but that's mostly because my irl friends when we were young were just like "omg look at this it's so cool" and I didn't talk to many people I didn't know irl because you know, stranger danger and all and horror stories of kids getting abducted through stuff like that so I was overly paranoid XD The one I really made friends on was TinierMe though. Still miss that place sometimes, but that's probably due to the fact that it was the first one I took seriously I guess?

That makes sense. I suppose I'm the same way now that I think about it XD

This is true ; u ; Although they can be butts sometimes >_> *looks to my dog who is currently sprawled out over my pillows/bed*

Oh man, totally ; u ; I'm a little thrown off right now though. My schedule got changed for this week, more specifically my days off got switched. I'm supposed to have Thursday and Friday off but this week it's Tuesday Friday for some reason? I was told it should be back to normal next week but we'll see x _ x


@Onyx Popcorn: Lack of sleep will do that to ya for sure x _ x I'm in the same boat today, although I think mine is more due to weather than lack of sleep. It's currently a cold rainy day : (

@Shark: I think everything is okay now ; u ; We'll see I suppose XD How are you doing?


@Unicorn: I'm slowly working through it. Kinda forcing myself to get out of the house and hang out with friends has been helping a bit.
I hope you feel better soon D: And it's totally fine, I know my responses are few and far between as well.

@Onyx Popcorn: oopsie, I almost missed your post D:
It's been alright. I keep suddenly vanishing just because I'm too lazy to type anything, but other than that it's good XD
How've you been?

@Shark: Had another breif internet scare the other day. I needed to update a driver on my laptop, but couldn't update the thing I needed to get the wifi because I had no connection... Thankfully I was able to use my stepdad's laptop though to download what I needed and now it's fine again :D


@Unicorn: I'm alright for the most part, been in a bit of a slump lately with basically no energy what so ever so I've just been watching a lot of Markiplier's past twitch streams.
How are you?


@Ixora: I find it funny, I never know what to do when the internet goes down despite the fact I lived without it for like half of my life.... Granted the half I didn't have it I was a kid and was more interested in playing outside with my friends now I don't wanna go outside unless I have to basically XD

I'll have to check it out then :3

It's pretty neat :P I know for sure Arin from GameGrumps also voices a character in it as well (Scott the werewolf to be exact) and Cryaotic voices a hipster vampire as well as Oz. I mean the voices are mostly sound effects with a few words here and there but it's still a nice touch : ) I'm sure there's more youtubers involved in it but I'm blanking on names right now XD

They are ; u ; I often wonder what we did to deserve having such precious critters on earth XD

Probably not as much as I should be, but I'm doing alright I think. Back on 8 hour days at least so that's something : )

@Unicorn: That makes more sense I suppose ^w^


@Shark: doing alright now, finally got our internet back x.x I don't know what happened, but it was down for a little over a week I think? It was really spotty before that too....


@Ixora: lol, it's okay. I've been dead since our internet was out for about a week so.... x.x but it's back now :D

I've never actually played Borderlands. Is it good?

It is. I always play as Oz and Damien's my favorite because he enjoys everything fire XD In the DLC stuff I also like Calculestor too though. He's a sentient computer and it's super adorable XD (He's also voiced by JackSepticEye)

Same though ; u ; It's probably also partly because I have a dog myself and I love him so much (he's currently sleeping on my lap actually)

lol. Works been killing me lately x.x But I've had 12 hours the past few days so once you hit that third day of 12 by the end of it you feel like you've been there the whole day x.x
