She still confuses me, who is she? Not her RPC but her real person. Is she a friend of Zuko's from school or something? And Zuko should really get on the ball if all he is doing is playing video games. He's going to end up failing if he doesn't concentrate. Basic case of senioritis. He is a senior isn't he?

She's Zuko's childhood friend. He claims that he thinks of her as a sister but it all strikes of Maiko to me. I am not in any position to judge in terms of procrastination as I am the queen of it but I can't help but envy the zombies on the video games when they see him more than I do.

I'm a procrastinator of the highest degree, but I really stepped it up for my senior year. He really should put down the controller and pay more attention to studies and homework and what not, even if he does awesome in school without any of it. True to that too, if he's playing a video game, he should check in every so often to see who's on. We all miss ZukoKun.

I know he does come on to check his messages because Katara used to send letters every other day if not everyday but once Katara stopped getting responses to her letters she stopped writing them. Why? Because what's the point of writing if you won't get a response back for a long time if at all. My grandparents on my dad's side expected me to keep writing to them even if they didn't write back. I don't think so. I write to people to not just tell them what is going on with me but more importantly to find out what is going on with them. That can't happen if you don't get any responses back.

I know what you mean, I hate it when I write someone and then they don't write back, but expect me to keep writing. I love writing as much as any other writer, but if I'm writing for a response and never get one, then, well, I will write for another purpose.

I can't do that I suppose. I just feel like the person doesn't really care that much if they can't reply even a few sentence response.

There's more ways to disappoint me with writing. I hate when I write a long letter to someone, and all I get back is a few sentences or a fifth of the paragraphs I wrote, back. Reading is as much a hobby, obsession, passion--whatever--with me as writing is, and I love to read long responses to what I wrote. So instead of continuing to get short crappy answers, I just write something for my own enjoyment, or for the enjoyment of my friends.

For example, you give me lengthy reviews of how you liked my short story and also what I can do to fix it. Of course your review won't be even a quarter as long as the story, but at least you put a lot of thought in it. I like that because not only is it helpful, but it also gives me something to read and improve upon. Same with my artwork, though it may not be viewed as words, it is viewed with words, described in words. Everything I draw could be described in lengthy paragraphs, and I love it when a person sees that and gives me a lengthy response. Same with music, same with anything that is art. So really, I could write a lengthy thing about life, since art is life.

You know I do worry about being a pest with the constant picking through your story. I am glad you don't see my reviews as a bit obnoxious. I find it harder to critique art unless there is some symbolism in it that I can comment on or if I see something off kilter about it.

I am just happy to get anything. I don't have high expectations in regards to people. On my birthday, I was happy even to get flowers from people here on Gaia. I didn't sell anyone's presents except for one but only because at the time I didn't know about my mule and I had already had the item I had received. I wouldn't care if someone sent me a few sentences in response to a long a** letter because at least that is something rather than nothing. I can't stand nothing. Maybe it is the wrong way to be but all I want to know is that people actually enjoy spending time with me. I don't want material things just the person's time.

I don't want material things either, I would be just as happy with a pat on the back and a 'good job' as compared to twenty bucks for graduating. People insist that they give me money, which although, I could use for college. The fact remains, I don't want material things for myself, but I don't mind giving others material things. Such as reading material or something to gaze at. The only thing I wish people would do is write more, and write as if they are intellegent people who can use proper English. Of course I don't expect it of everyone, but I would like to know that there are people who aren't completely incompetent. Not to say I'm a genius and I know everything and have no intellectual mind to turn to, because I don't know everything and I do have awesome minds to turn to, but there's not many of them. I would have to say the most insightful people I know are you, Zuko, Dani, Vern, Meru, Boychi and McB. Of course there are others that are very insightful, such as Toph, and the people I consider brothers from MS as well.

I don't know, I suppose it's just a writers thing. I write something long for one to respond to and I hope that, in return, I will get a long response, so as to compare and contrast, or something to that effect.

Well the internet has certainly taught me to appreciate those who are literate in the English language a lot more. I can understand it if one who has English as their second language does not write well but I am absolutely frustrated with people who are native speakers of it who write like they are in elementary school when they are not.

I'm not saying that I do not appreciate that which is given to me or anything because I do alot. But it really does not compare to spending time with people. Even though I got plenty of gifts on my birthday, I was still devastated that we all couldn't get together for that day like I had wanted us to.

The internet holds many lessons, and finding out that there are idiots such as text talkers out there is one of them. I can't stand text talkers, I may use it once in a while, but only when playing a game. I know what you mean about English being the second language, that I understand, but as an English speaking person, natives to the language should be able to to write and speak it to the level where it makes sense. I won't knitpick about commas and periods being in the right places, but 'people' is not spelled 'ppl' or 'pepole' and so on and so forth.

I know what you mean, I appreaciate everything everyone has given me, and I only wish there were some way I could repay them all the gifts they have given me. You know what we should do though? Make one day where we know everyone will have off, and get together and just have a party in Barton Town. It may not be on your birthday or close to it, but we will be there for you, because hardly anyone was able to give the time. Like you were saying earlier about someone giving you their time, I understand that, but I don't have the audacity to ask most people for their time, since I have never wanted it. I don't want to say I'm antisocial, but I don't like people that much, except for the ones that I truly get to know and who truly understand me, even if it's only to a degree.

Yeah I am the last person to ask to tell someone where they ought to put a comma. I think it needs to be more than a level that makes sense because I am able to make sense of illiterate people's sentences. I think people should write at a level in which I don't have to strain my brain in order to figure out what they are saying. It should be easy to read.

I would like so much to have a party with everyone but I just don't see it happening. People seem so caught up with their own lives. I never thought it was audacious to ask people to spend time with me. Like you I don't socialize with alot of people. I prefer a tight knit group and when I am not able to spend time with those whom I consider friends very dear to me I get really sad about it. It hurts to care and value time spent with certain people and they don't feel the same way.

Not to say I'm a genius and I know everything and have no intellectual mind to turn to, because I don't know everything and I do have awesome minds to turn to, but there's not many of them. I would have to say the most insightful people I know are you, Zuko, Dani, Vern, Meru, Boychi and McB. Of course there are others that are very insightful, such as Toph, and the people I consider brothers from MS as well.

I don't know, I suppose it's just a writers thing. I write something long for one to respond to and I hope that, in return, I will get a long response, so as to compare and contrast, or something to that effect.

Well the internet has certainly taught me to appreciate those who are literate in the English language a lot more. I can understand it if one who has English as their second language does not write well but I am absolutely frustrated with people who are native speakers of it who write like they are in elementary school when they are not.

I'm not saying that I do not appreciate that which is given to me or anything because I do alot. But it really does not compare to spending time with people. Even though I got plenty of gifts on my birthday, I was still devastated that we all couldn't get together for that day like I had wanted us to.

The internet holds many lessons, and finding out that there are idiots such as text talkers out there is one of them. I can't stand text talkers, I may use it once in a while, but only when playing a game. I know what you mean about English being the second language, that I understand, but as an English speaking person, natives to the language should be able to to write and speak it to the level where it makes sense. I won't knitpick about commas and periods being in the right places, but 'people' is not spelled 'ppl' or 'pepole' and so on and so forth.

I know what you mean, I appreaciate everything everyone has given me, and I only wish there were some way I could repay them all the gifts they have given me. You know what we should do though? Make one day where we know everyone will have off, and get together and just have a party in Barton Town. It may not be on your birthday or close to it, but we will be there for you, because hardly anyone was able to give the time. Like you were saying earlier about someone giving you their time, I understand that, but I don't have the audacity to ask most people for their time, since I have never wanted it. I don't want to say I'm antisocial, but I don't like people that much, except for the ones that I truly get to know and who truly understand me, even if it's only to a degree.

Yeah I am the last person to ask to tell someone where they ought to put a comma. I think it needs to be more than a level that makes sense because I am able to make sense of illiterate people's sentences. I think people should write at a level in which I don't have to strain my brain in order to figure out what they are saying. It should be easy to read.

I would like so much to have a party with everyone but I just don't see it happening. People seem so caught up with their own lives. I never thought it was audacious to ask people to spend time with me. Like you I don't socialize with alot of people. I prefer a tight knit group and when I am not able to spend time with those whom I consider friends very dear to me I get really sad about it. It hurts to care and value time spent with certain people and they don't feel the same way.

I suppose I can stand just being able to understand what is being written, but I am OCD about things being spelled right. If I know how it's spelled, and especially if it is an easy word to spell, I can't help but correct and chide. A bad habit, but one that is not easily broken. Of course I can forgive typos, because those we cannot control. They happen and they will continue to happen. After all, we are only human, and only a robot could perform such a thing perfectly, and, as I'm sure, even they could make mistakes after a while.

I know what you mean, Meru is afraid that I will forget about her when I leave for college. But she's my sister, as are you and everyone else in our little group that I really know. I wish they would open their eyes and see that we only wish a few hours of their time to get together and celebrate the day that a very special friend and sister was brought into the world. Alas, people cannot be expected to care, and though they may care, as you have stated, they get caught up in their own lives. I feel it is audacious to ask people because I don't wish for most peoples presence. So who would I be to ask for it when I do not want it? Close knit groups are my thing, as well, and I as well feel a certain let down or sadness when they cannot spare the time to talk to me. I suppose it is worse of me, however, since I am bored easily, and when I am on and no one else is, I start getting the feeling that no one cares. Though I know this is not the case, but that everyone has a different time schedule and different responsibilities, that they will not be on at the same time I am on, and though I know I cannot expect someone to be on as often as I am, I can't help but hope. Then when that hope is crushed well, we know where it goes from there.

I don't want material things either, I would be just as happy with a pat on the back and a 'good job' as compared to twenty bucks for graduating. People insist that they give me money, which although, I could use for college. The fact remains, I don't want material things for myself, but I don't mind giving others material things. Such as reading material or something to gaze at. The only thing I wish people would do is write more, and write as if they are intellegent people who can use proper English.

We are in the same boat there madam. I don't expect people to be on when I come on sporadically through the day but at night I can't help but think everyone will be on then cause that's when we've all been on together before and I know everyone's timezone allows it. I do get the feeling that people don't care particularly Zuko now. I am not going to lie to you but it did hurt my feelings when I found out he wasn't coming on just not because of his homework but because he was playing XBox with Hathor and couldn't tell me he was going to not be on at all for two whole days. I live in the central timezone of the United States and you, I think, live in the eastern one. We have to stay up late just to even talk to people who live in places like Australia and Singapore. So I can't help but feel it insensitive when those people whom you are expecting to come on don't show or even give you a notice that they aren't coming so you don't wait up for them.

I can't think of anyone's presence that I do not want because I am very good at cutting out people I do not want to deal with in my life. Meru doesn't have anything to worry about. You are not the type to forget your friends. I wish I could say the same for others though. I realize that people have real life friends that they want to be with but spare a little time for me anyway.

I don't understand people who do that. It's not that hard to go through with a commitment, especially when it is just talking to a friend on the internet. It's not like he's getting married or something. Yeah I live in the Eastern timezone. Even with different timezones, you eventually find a point where it's good for everyone and it's not hard to keep getting on at that point. Unless he's like swamped under twenty thousand school reports, then yeah, but otherwise he should make an effort to get on and talk to us, so as you said, we aren't left waiting for someone who doesn't plan on getting on at all.

I'm good at ignoring people, but sometimes their annoying voices cut through my expertly constructed 'ignore-o-shield' which really sucks. I know Meru has nothing to worry about, but she will worry. Yeah, but some people don't think that I will remember them because I'm so lazy. I mean, my friend moved to Florida nearly a half year ago and I still remember her. If I had her number or her email address, I would contact her, but nobody knows anything. If I don't bother keeping up contact it's either because I'm extremely busy, or because they don't reply anyways. I also hate it when a friend stabs you in the back. It's not that hard to be a good friend.

Well it seems that many people value their internet friends less than they do their real life friends. I don't have any people that I go to hang out with in real life so it ain't the case for me. That's sad that people think just because you are lazy about certain things that you are too lazy to care about them as well. I don't even see how they can make that correlation. I don't forget anyone even those who have hurt me. It is the curse of having a good memory. On one hand, it's good because I don't have to study for tests since I remember what was discussed in lecture but on the other hand it is bad because I can remember every detail of when someone caused me pain.

Though I know this is not the case, but that everyone has a different time schedule and different responsibilities, that they will not be on at the same time I am on, and though I know I cannot expect someone to be on as often as I am, I can't help but hope. Then when that hope is crushed well, we know where it goes from there.

We are in the same boat there madam. I don't expect people to be on when I come on sporadically through the day but at night I can't help but think everyone will be on then cause that's when we've all been on together before and I know everyone's timezone allows it. I do get the feeling that people don't care particularly Zuko now. I am not going to lie to you but it did hurt my feelings when I found out he wasn't coming on just not because of his homework but because he was playing XBox with Hathor and couldn't tell me he was going to not be on at all for two whole days. I live in the central timezone of the United States and you, I think, live in the eastern one. We have to stay up late just to even talk to people who live in places like Australia and Singapore. So I can't help but feel it insensitive when those people whom you are expecting to come on don't show or even give you a notice that they aren't coming so you don't wait up for them.

I can't think of anyone's presence that I do not want because I am very good at cutting out people I do not want to deal with in my life. Meru doesn't have anything to worry about. You are not the type to forget your friends. I wish I could say the same for others though. I realize that people have real life friends that they want to be with but spare a little time for me anyway.

I don't understand people who do that. It's not that hard to go through with a commitment, especially when it is just talking to a friend on the internet. It's not like he's getting married or something. Yeah I live in the Eastern timezone. Even with different timezones, you eventually find a point where it's good for everyone and it's not hard to keep getting on at that point. Unless he's like swamped under twenty thousand school reports, then yeah, but otherwise he should make an effort to get on and talk to us, so as you said, we aren't left waiting for someone who doesn't plan on getting on at all.

I'm good at ignoring people, but sometimes their annoying voices cut through my expertly constructed 'ignore-o-shield' which really sucks. I know Meru has nothing to worry about, but she will worry. Yeah, but some people don't think that I will remember them because I'm so lazy. I mean, my friend moved to Florida nearly a half year ago and I still remember her. If I had her number or her email address, I would contact her, but nobody knows anything. If I don't bother keeping up contact it's either because I'm extremely busy, or because they don't reply anyways. I also hate it when a friend stabs you in the back. It's not that hard to be a good friend.

Well it seems that many people value their internet friends less than they do their real life friends. I don't have any people that I go to hang out with in real life so it ain't the case for me. That's sad that people think just because you are lazy about certain things that you are too lazy to care about them as well. I don't even see how they can make that correlation. I don't forget anyone even those who have hurt me. It is the curse of having a good memory. On one hand, it's good because I don't have to study for tests since I remember what was discussed in lecture but on the other hand it is bad because I can remember every detail of when someone caused me pain.

I value my internet friends as much as I value my real life friends. Though I don't think that is what I would refer to them as, since you are a real life friend as well, I just don't live near you. So I guess I would call them my local friends. Who knows, I will never understand people who don't try to understand me, and as well it should be that way, because people who don't try to understand don't deserve to understand. I have good memory as well, but I tend to forget random things. Most of the time I remember the irrelevent things, which does not come in handy for school, but it seems if I am interested in what's going on I remember it more clearly. Suppose I guess that I remember the bad things more clearly, which as you say, sucks.

I suppose I can stand just being able to understand what is being written, but I am OCD about things being spelled right. If I know how it's spelled, and especially if it is an easy word to spell, I can't help but correct and chide. A bad habit, but one that is not easily broken. Of course I can forgive typos, because those we cannot control. They happen and they will continue to happen. After all, we are only human, and only a robot could perform such a thing perfectly, and, as I'm sure, even they could make mistakes after a while.

I know what you mean, Meru is afraid that I will forget about her when I leave for college. But she's my sister, as are you and everyone else in our little group that I really know. I wish they would open their eyes and see that we only wish a few hours of their time to get together and celebrate the day that a very special friend and sister was brought into the world. Alas, people cannot be expected to care, and though they may care, as you have stated, they get caught up in their own lives. I feel it is audacious to ask people because I don't wish for most peoples presence. So who would I be to ask for it when I do not want it? Close knit groups are my thing, as well, and I as well feel a certain let down or sadness when they cannot spare the time to talk to me. I suppose it is worse of me, however, since I am bored easily, and when I am on and no one else is, I start getting the feeling that no one cares.

Well I do forget things, mostly they are things I consider mundane or tedious that I don't want to do like filling out forms. Then I get in trouble for that. I get so mad when people draw this line between the friends who live by you and the people you've talk to over the net. They are both people and one is not better than the other just because you can see one group of friends physically and they live by you. Quite honestly, I meet way cooler people outside my state rather than within it. But whatever, if Zuko doesn't think of us as his friends on the same level as his pals at school and the Hathor chick there is nothing anyone can do to change that. It's sad cause I liked talking to him.

On another note, since this is making me feel somewhat depressed, I still can't figure out how to fix what I need to fix on my short story. >< and it's really pissing me off.

I guess for me hope doesn't die easily. I will keep on hoping that people will change their ways and redeem themselves even if it seems improbable. I know I should get off my lazy butt and go through your story line by line with commentary and corrections. That would probably help greatly I am sure.
