Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Ah, I see. XD;; Yeah, I hadn't heard about it until the announcement. But I do want one. o.o They're so cute! X3 I might buy a gift card credit thing since I was planning on buying donation items with real money this month anyway.))
Jounouchi inwardly shivered, quickly slapping Malik's hand away, "Stop that!" he huffed, glaring daggers at Malik.
((Got this email from my sister: "Hi everyone,
We wanted to give you another update. Taylor has been cleared by neurology at St Joseph's hospital and we are finally home. We are so grateful for everyone's well wishes and prayers. Her MRI and EEG were normal and although we have to follow up with the trauma doc, everything looks good. She still has no memory of the accident which is a blessing. If any of you don't believe in miracles, take a look at the pictures. The doctors said she was lucky to be alive.
Remember when you look at "Accident Photo_2" that the bucket seat is the front seat and that Taylor was in between it and the smashed part of the trunk. Also remember when looking at both photos that the other driver claims to have been only going 40 MPH.
Although we are so glad to be home and are deeply grateful that Taylor is ok, I'm still having a hard time coping with what happened. The ride home from the hospital was very traumatic for me and I'm dealing with the memory of seeing Taylor in such bad shape. Taylor, on the other hand, is her same old self, reading in the van the whole way - the same magazine she was reading during the accident. It's hard for her to really understand why we are so upset. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we may have a legal battle ahead of us."
She also attached these two pictures: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e339/KitsuneChan8888888/Accident20Photo_21.jpg

And yeah, it is kind of sad that that kid died, but I didn't know him, and he got hit because he was being a moron darting in front of cars with no crosswalk when it was dark outside. I think what bothers me about it, is that a kid I knew (I didn't really like him, but I knew him) died last year, and while the school mourned a bit, no one made a big deal about it because he wasn't popular. But then this kid who just died was a popular football player and stuff, and half the school has been wearing T-shirts with his name on it all week, and there's a huge memorial against the fence by where he was hit (almost a block's worth of flowers and signs and stuff) and all this kind of stuff. I just think it's really sad that even death seems to be a popularity contest.
Oh, my mom had shingles a couple of months ago. It's not really dangerous, but she said it was kind of painful and it lasted for quite a while. I'm sorry that happened. D: I hope the baby doesn't get chicken pox.))

"How is *that* supposed to relieve stress?!" Jounouchi demanded, still quite flustered.
((Ah, well, it at least wasn't that bad for my mom. ^^;; It might be worse in certain situations, I couldn't tell you. *shrugs*
But yeah, we talked to a lawyer. It sounds like the car company that made my sister's car designs their seats to come out with like 200lbs of pressure or something for some weird safety reason. So we don't have a lawsuit on them, but it looks like Julie is gonna sue the guy who rear ended us so she can pay for Taylor's medical bills. (they're already really high, not to mention Julie and I have also racked up some) We're almost 100% sure we'll be able to convince that it wasn't Julie's fault, because now we know that even if she was changing lanes (which she wasn't) that for how large the impact was, the kid had to have been going at least 70MPH in a 40MPH area, so the lane change would've been legal since he was coming up so fast and we wouldn't of realized that. Anyway, once we prove it's his fault, we want to sue to get the medical bills payed. I'm still worried about all three of us though, because any of us could develop brain bleeds or other things within months after the accident.
Ah, but I'm soooo happy for you that you finished your midterms and met some new friends! X3 That sounds really awsome, I'm so glad for you! <3))

"Well maybe I will!" Jounouchi retorted, very childishly. He crossed his arms and turned around, looking at the door contemplatively as if in a gesture that was threatening to leave.
((Oh, I'm so sorry dear... D: *hugs* That must be a terrible feeling, emptiness... I'm definitely still going up and down in depression right now, but that's nothing compared to what you must be going through. I wish there was more I could do for you. All I can really do is give you the obvious and unhelpful advise of not dreading the bad times when you are experiencing the good, and getting through the bad times as best as you can. I know, easier said than done... sorry, I'm not always so good at consolling...
Maybe you should begin looking for a roommate for next year, someone you want to room with and who wants to room with you... I hope everything works out, I really do. And don't worry about your roleplaying right now. Please go ahead and take your time getting yourself together. And if you don't feel like roleplaying right now, we can just talk for a while instead through the (()), or we can keep roleplaying between conversation. Whatever makes you feel better. ^^))

((Yeah, I guess you're right. XD;; It is nice to know that people care enough to give even crappy advise. Your advise is good though. <3
And don't worry about your roleplaying. Seriously, it's still much better than mine. XD;; ))
Jounouchi turned to look over his shoulder at Malik, pausing for a moment, "...I dunno... if I do, it's probably just an old junky one buried in my apartment somewhere." he blinked a couple of times, "Why you asking anyway?"

Jounouchi blinked, "Well, you're right. I really don't give a damn about schooling or anything like that. Got other more important things to worry about. Anyway, I was thinking of leaving..." he said slightly bitterly, "But now I'm really starting not to give a damn about that either..."
((Ooh, that's awsome! I'm so jealous! X3 But I'm sure things will be better, at least while you're there. Yaoi always does a soul good! <3))

Jounouchi blinked in surprise, "I'm mad at you?" he looked genuinly confused. He hadn't realized how bitter he had sounded earlier. True, he had been mad a little while ago, but he had quickly gotten over it.
((Well, I'm glad you had some fun at least. By the way, Gaia was charged by the police because of child molesters to filter certain words, and as much as I'm against censorship, I don't want you to get in trouble, so I'm going to edit out the scientific word for "d**k" okay? XD;; I don't want the guild to get in trouble either so... yeah, sorry. XD;; I know it's ridiculous but not worth being banned...
Anyway, sounds pretty fun. ^^ I do wish I could've gone though I have been to a con once before so I guess I'll get over it. I totally want those posters though! O_o
Anyway, I have been planning to go to Anime Expo one day (because it's the largest con that's close by) once I have the money. Other con I went to was Otacon (which is in Maryland. Only reason I saved up that much money was because I was meeting a friend on the internet there so we went to the con together) But anyway, all Arizona has is Anizona, and I will never for the life of me go to a con that is called "Anizona." *shivers* So Anime Expo it is. ^^ Hey, maybe one year we'd be able to both go and meet eachother! o.o I mean, I've met people from the internet in both Maryland and New York. (it was BK that I met in New York. ^^) It really isn't that hard, and if you're in a crowded place like a convention, there's hardly any risk. (not that I think you're some old perverted man XD;; ) But that would be really cool if we could do that one day. *must stop being poor*))

((Gah, I'm sorry! I was being retarded and forgot to edit it after I posted the message! XD;;; I realized that last night as I was falling asleep, and *almost* got out of bed to edit it, then thought, "Nah, Akila probably won't be on before tomorrow morning. I'll just edit it when I'm getting ready for school..." Well, gosh I'm retarded. XD;; I'm just so forgetful sometimes. *fails* Anyway, thanks for editing it, and no need to apologize. I agree that it is a stupid word to censor, as well as the B word that ends in "tard." Seriously, that's a fun word to use, like when quoting the Abridged Series. D: But it's not really Gaia's fault. It was because some stupid kids were being slutty and child molestor's were going after them. Gaia should have had a disclaimer, but the police got to them first... at least that's what I heard. Anyway, at least we know Gaia isn't by choice turning into the new Neopets. I mean, gosh, child molestors are still gonna go after kids whether they can use certain words or not. It's kind of something you can't avoid on the internet...
But yeah, two years would probably work for me! X3 I'll be a poor college student then, but I've managed to balance my funds where I think I can get through college only spending $2000 or so a year on it if I don't get any scholarships. (I've already gotten a tuition waiver and if I can manage to live at home instead of dorms... it's only about an hour drive at the most to where I was accepted, plus there's a shuttle that goes from an area right by my Grandma's house) Aaanyway, so I should probably be able to afford it when you can, then we can meet. X3 Mind if I ask some other friends to join me?))
"I... guess." Jounouchi said awkwardly, not wanting to admit to himself that he felt slightly guilty now. "Well..." he shrugged, "You get irritated a lot too. I think it's just our personalities. I've always been like that... well, at least since I was ten or so." he shrugged again, "Seriously, you piss me off a lot less than some other people. Like Kaiba..." he shivered, "Hate that guy. Anyway, it's no big deal. Really." he flashed a fake-looking grin at Malik.

Jounouchi crossed his arms as he nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I'm the same. Shouldn't let my temper take control, but it's just so hard not to sometimes. People shouldn't act so obnoxious!" he huffed, not even realizing that he was letting his temper control him at that very moment.
((Word I'm trying to say begins with "bas."
And ah, no, sorry, I worded that weird. XD;; What I meant is that the college I'm going to is about an hour from my house. Anime Expo would be about a six-hour drive for me too. XD;;
And I highly, HIGHLY, doubt we'll hate each other. ^^))
