This place...it looks like home *sniff* All the avatars look right... Now I just need to put them on the other side of the page or something. xD But we like them on the right side of the page, I think...

by MozytheHealer Thu May 24, 2012 1:43 pm

It does look like the old MG forums....That makes me happy and sad at the same time, which is a really weird feeling..

by Elfie Thu May 24, 2012 9:41 pm

DRACO!!! Welcome back!

All kinds of surprises await me, apparently, every time I don't visit the on-line world for a day or two.

Nayaby wrote:Oh! You did! Sorry, it must have escaped my mind. I've been to Germany once myself. However, I didn't actually step on German soil... I stayed overnight at the airport's hotel. School trip, tenth grade, couldn't even leave the hotel since we didn't fill in custom's sheets.

But I've still technically been to Germany!

Ah, no worries. At least I haven't lost my mind, yet, haha.
Bah, that sucks. You should go again! And visit me! Wink

J/k... but still!

I've always wanted to travel the world, you know, so this opportunity is just wonderful, even though the circumstances leading to it are less than pleasant.

From Nayaby and Elfie's Dark Tale of Seriousness and Angst*thunderclap*.

by Nayaby Thu May 24, 2012 9:53 pm

Well, if I ever plan a trip to Germany I'm sure I'd be able to visit you. It's not that large a country after all. Not that I do intend to go to Germany any time soon, but still.

T'as my psion avatar! I used that and this psijack one. I remember the Dark Tale of Seriousness and Angst. Good times!

By the way, I don't currently have laptop access so I'm typing this all from my phone. Very tedious work!

Ah, the Dark Tales. *sigh* So many memories...

Oh, wow.

It's intact. The whole thing's there...

O.O Aequus. You are now my new, unofficial, official hero. Do you realize that I have been wanting to re-read this, and wanting to kick myself for not saving it?! Thank you!

Now... you wouldn't happen to be able to find The Book, would you?

by Nayaby Thu May 24, 2012 10:45 pm

Oh my! O_O

Elfie, we must continue this! Once I get my laptop back, of course.

Now I'm upset I have no computer!!! I have a project with Elfie, a project with Areada, and Magnificence... AND NOTHING BUT A PHONE TO WRITE WITH!!!

by **Areada** Thu May 24, 2012 10:45 pm

Haha, that project. I should write something for that. I'm still in a daze from the end of school and all this happiness of history, but I shall do something tomorrow. I promiseth.

Partly.

The Web Archive only caught some -- a bit at the beginning, a bit at the end. They only have pages 1-5, and 41-46.

I'm sorry.

Dark Tales was intact, because it was small -- the beginning and the end were all there was. 46 pages aren't all there.

by **Areada** Thu May 24, 2012 10:57 pm

Okay, Draco, I seriously have a question because I'm dead curious, what on earth was your reaction to our newsbox? Because I put that there a few weeks ago and yeah...

It's just hilarious. Maybe it was summoning you. I have no idea.

!! Yes! We must! I've been wanting to broach the subject of continuing, but of course we didn't have the story to know where we were - but now we do! Yay!

I am so darned happy right now. Very Happy

Aequus - Thanks, for the link to finding stuff and The Book. It doesn't matter, exactly, that the whole thing isn't there - I just wanted the character names so I can continue it in a series of short stories for my own enjoyment. Though, I am sad that my epic intro post of Lord Browne and his henchmen is gone. I really wanted that, and again, wanted to kick myself for not saving it. Oh well.

by Draco Thu May 24, 2012 11:02 pm

Got a warm fuzzy feeling inside. After throwing that into a black hole (had been trying to root out that little scrap of good for weeks, think I had some bad bread), I decided to get to work on being the evil overlord again.

by **Areada** Thu May 24, 2012 11:04 pm

You're the best evil overlord I know! And I've known quite a few...
Keep being evil!

by **Areada** Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:33 am

How are all your lives and stuff? Mine is so weird. My interim class is really easy (for me at least, not for people unfamiliar with the material!) but there's some really random stuff going on. Bwa. 'sup with ya'll?

by Nayaby Fri Jun 01, 2012 2:37 pm

Well, I'm apparently moving in with my dad and two half-siblings, but at least I'll have my laptop back by Sunday night. It means I'll be sleeping on the sofa pull-out for the forseeable future, and have ridiculously limited Internet. It's good that your course is going well though!

by **Areada** Fri Jun 01, 2012 4:02 pm

Oh wow. 0.0 Life changes!

I am afraid to say that I may be very sporadically here during the summer. I have some seriously crazy stuff going on that is going to be pretty intense, but of course, I shall check back here as often as I can!

by Zip Fri Jun 01, 2012 8:40 pm

So I, uhh, got back from my 8th grade awards thing((Yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...10 points if you guessed it already)), and I ended up winning a few awards pertaining to my grades, the perfect score I got on this writing proficiency thing(which I was absolutely positive that I flunked, but, y'know), and some other thing I can't remember.

...Oh. I also got the student of the year award, which is given to those who demonstrate "leadership, responsibility, and role modelility." Not sure how I swung that one.

All right. Now all I have to do is prepare for final exams...

by **Areada** Fri Jun 01, 2012 8:45 pm

YAY ZIP!

That's fantastic! Good for you! And writing, too! Yes! Awesome! Have some nonalcoholic sparkly grape juice!

Good luck on the exams!

by Nayaby Fri Jun 01, 2012 9:04 pm

Aww, less Areada? That makes me sad Sad

Between your life changes, my life changes, and Elfie moving to Germany... That's a lot of life changes!!!

AND CONGRATULATIONS ZIP!

You can no longer call yourself a bad writer. As everyone here has been insisting for forever, you now have written proof that you rock the pen and keyboard! I am surprised to find out you're in eighth grade though xD Iwas picturing you as a highschooler. I believe Areada and I are the only college students on this forum though. Though I suppose Lycan and Elfie are about to join the club too! (Correct me if I'm wrong)

You took the words right out of my mouth!
Sad you won't be around as much, Areada... though, I probably won't be either. Hopefully. It seems mum and I will have to look for a place ourselves, however, since my father is useless and wants to only visit friends instead of look. Maybe he'll have found a place... But I doubt it. =/

Anyway. Congrats, Zip!!

Nayaby wrote:Though I suppose Lycan and Elfie are about to join the club too! (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Nope. Not any time soon, I don't plan to. I plan on taking some night courses in Germany, to brush up on my German (especially writing - I suck there) and to get some other courses redone because the last couple of years haven't been great school wise since a lot of other stuff was going on and I couldn't focus on it. Sad

Then I plan on getting a job so mum won't have to be the only one supporting us, and then... who knows? I've planned a lot of things in the past couple of years, and obviously those all went up in smoke so I'm just going to take life as it comes and not plan too much. Just have a little layout, because I really cannot go without some sort of plan.
I certainly didn't get that from my father, who has no plans whatsoever, because 'we're still in Canada'. Ahem. Sorry, I digress. Just a little upset right now...

by Zip Fri Jun 01, 2012 9:46 pm

Oh Elfie...

If you ever need a place to vent or something, we're always here...

by **Areada** Fri Jun 01, 2012 11:25 pm

It's mostly that, contrary to my school months, when I have no social interaction or time-consuming interesting commitments to speak of, I have a huge amount of commitment in the summers that involves a ton of work and social interaction. I still plan to be on the internet at least once a day (so I will check in), but I'm just going to have way less time spent on computer. Then again, I'll probably have some late nights spent on paperwork so maybe I can cram in some roleplay posts!

Life changes are-they're okay, sometimes. I certainly have been looking forward to this one... And it's really a normal thing for my life that the summers are just insane and whirlwind-like, and then the rest of the year is sort of normal.

I just wanted to give you all a heads up. I'll check in a ton, though, and say Hi, and How Are You All Doing a lot. Very Happy

by Nayaby Sat Jun 02, 2012 9:29 pm

Wow Elfie, I'm sorry to hear all that Sad

I'm sure things will turn out for the best. Best of luck to you!

I see Areada! Usually when somebody mentions "crazy, intense stuff" I take it in a negative context since it's obscure phrasing and I suppose I always suspect the worse. Of course, I recently found out I have a passive-aggressive personality disorder. It explains a lot actually. Here I was thinking I just had dysthemia and social phobia...

Essentially, I've been medically diagnosed as a terrible human being. Somewhat upsetting, haha!
