[RayanStiger]

Sure, Ai. Remind me of your MSN screen name again, please?

Partially done with my reply to Tiff biggrin  

[angeltrinity]

Ugh, homework and midterms= scream
Sorry Rayan, I'll try getting on MSN tomorrow.  

[RayanStiger]

No prob, Tiff. I've posted my reply, though I'm not done yet. I'll PM you the links to the courtyard posts and to the Headmaster's Office. I'm quite pleased with how I did, despite that this is just a rough draft and there are things I still have to add/alter about it. But I'll get to that tomorrow.  

[Pearlholy]

I love chai too D< GIMME SOME MINTO! <3

Hahaha, Ai~ <3 You're going to pop up again when we don't expect it. XD

Tiff on MSN? You should get on MSN more often Tiff <3

 

[angeltrinity]

::cue fail song of Tiff not getting on MSN today:: -___-

blarg, Math test tomorrow and I've been studying like a boss because I don't get it. XP

I CURSE YOU MATH, I SHALL OVERCOME!!  

[RayanStiger]

Haha studying like a boss. You can do it, Mary! No worries about the msn, I finished work yesterday, came home, and dropped off to sleep. I'm TIRED lately... tonight I'm busy too, ugh... when will I get to finishing my post?

And QBP's right, you do need to get on MSN more. Of course, so do I, and I have been this week, but nobody else is on except Makie. Silly Newfoundlanders razz By the way, I have a copy of our first ever MSN convo, Tiff. I was probably really sketchy in that conversation... razz

Currently trying to make time to write, and still planning out plots and events and things. Not that I will plan everything, improv and adapting things is fun, but I want some structure to this so we have somewhere to go with our characters.  

[Nadindel]

Bah! As much as I want to get back down to Gaia to help practice my writing, stuff keeps drawing me back out!

Dearest Celeste!
I'm officially a Philosophy student.
Taking 19 credits of awesomeness.
I won't be able to specialize in anything until my graduate studies (duh!), but I'm already looking into Philosophy of Education.
I'm thinking of experimenting with both High School and College education. I don't want to just teach, but find better ways of teaching.
I think we all need it if we're going to move forward.

I might even see if I can get some first-hand look at European education. I'm aiming to catch French and German as my third and fourth languages.
I'd love to be in both countries (I hate traveling without giving the effort to learn the native language, if only a bit.)
Also, my favorite philosophers are French and German...

A perk of teaching: summer vacation travel.

But yeah, that's the gist of it.
Philosophy of Education.
I have Philosophy of Science as a back-up plan.
Oh, and I'm not planning on giving up writing anytime soon. Hoping to be something of a public intellectual sometime.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Drama sucks!
I fell for my best friend's ex-girlfriend. Smart, educated, cultured and an amazing writer... in Spanish.
Comparative Linguist; what insights I can give in Science and Philosophy, she can enrich with literature and history.
Brainstorming sessions between the two of us? It's magical.
We're even working on a joint multi-linguistical piece.
The exchange of letters between two characters, each one of us uses their respective language of choice...
but I digress:

So, I decide to be up-front about the whole thing.
They break up; two or three months in, I'm interested in keeping an open communication with her.
He gives me the green light.
I'm starting to get attracted.
Green Light.
I tell him we're hitting it off and it might go somewhere...
I'm not to speak to him again. Doesn't want anything to do with the two of us for the sake of everyone involved.
Didn't exactly end on a sour note. A more fond and respectful farewell could not have been given even under different circumstances.

Could be worse... but
Turns out I fired the gun prematurely. I counted hens before they hatched... yet again.
(Kill me)
I didn't confess or anything; she mentioned her new boyfriend.
Oh, that felt good. Managed to regain composure fast enough to appear relatively normal... I think.
So, a week passed:
No best friend, no woman.

Ain't life grand?

Terrible as it might sound, I'm surprised by how easily I can oversome these things.
Well... I assumed I'd feel like the world was about to end; time would freeze and the world would break like thin glass... for a few weeks, at least.
The joys of being a hopeless pessimist: It takes a lot to dissapoint me; I already expected the worst.
A bit sad at times, but I can extract a lesson and get past it a'la Zarathustra.

 

[RayanStiger]

Wow, that's awful, Nadi. I'd have gone insane from the best friend's response to the situation. Pessimism can be helpful, though; people talk about the power of positive thinking, but there's an article about the power of negative thinking, which mentions that pessimism can help you become more objective (so long as you aren't RIDICULOUSLY negative) and predict bad things happening so you can prepare for them mentally.

I can't wait for you to start writing here again, Nadi. Maybe it will help you cope a little. Your stuff is awesome, and I hope our characters get to interact.  

[Winny-chan]

There's no way I'm reading all of that LOL, but all that drama sucks =_=  

[Pearlholy]

Lies DP! I'm always on too XD!

Oh, you pwn that exam like a boss, Tiff <3

I'm sorry to hear/read that Nadindel. I do hope you patch things up with your best friend >_<;;

 

[Nadindel]

Both of them had a talk sometime this week, apparently.
The theatre curtains have CLOSED and the drama is now at an end.
Now, back to squealing with glee over my newest creation.

Edit: Yep, things are back to relative normality.
Working on a bilingual piece.
It's coming out awesome.  

[Pearlholy]

Yay for drunk txt msgs from a stranger!

-crawls out from the grave-
Haven't been here in FOREVER.
I've just been so busy with my animals.
Showed at my local rodeo, and placed with out of five of my animals.
4th auction lamb, 8th auction goat, 9th auction turkey tom, and 10th auction rabbits.
My piggy didn't place, so he went to "Jamaica." TT___TT
And I showed my other goat yesterday at the county fair, and got 8th place.
He apparently didn't have enough leg muscle.
Even though the girl who got second thought my goat was better than her's.
And got second in showmanship AGAIN.
Just cause my goat moved when the girl's goat behind me kept slamming into him cause she couldn't control him.
But its whatever, he gets to live in an equestrian center with another goat named Norman. X3
And I'm showing my other goat on Friday.
I just gotta work with him all this week, so maybe he can make sale and I can win showmanship there. ;D
