Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thank you both, MysticKoi and Yuudai!

MysticKoi, I'm sorry about your grandfather, I hope he pulled through.

Yuudai, I actually was getting checked for breast cancer (I had a strange lump) when all of this was going on >.< I know how scary that can be! I'm glad we both had false alarms!

My mom is starting to move around a lot, I even took her to the mall a few days ago and let her scoot around and we got Starbucks, I think it was good for her to get out!

My step-dad is nervous, but they gave him better odds this time than ever before, and this time they gave him better odds not only to live (insert number here) years, but to be completely cured of it, so I'm determined to stay positive about it ^_^

...I like coming on Gaia and stuff to escape for a few moments, though >.< I missed the Valentine's Day events here in Haven, so I'm hoping I can participate in a few St. Patrick's Day events!

Awh, sorry to hear about relatives with cancer, Iki and Mystic. I seriously wish both of you the best in all that. And you're right, it's best to stay positive!

I'm excited for the 17th as well! I don't do much, but the events here should be fun. And my 14th birthday is exactly a week after it, so that's exciting. :]

The story about taking your mum to the mall made me melt. It's the little moments like that that touch you and you hold on to. And the better odds than ever before for your step-dad sounds like an absolute miracle. With yourself and everyone here in the Puff common room sending out positive vibes into the universe I can only see the greatest outcome out of all this for you and your family.


That sounds so cute and fun, hopefully I can steal that idea and get it going at my school.

Yea that is about all my school can come up with. HaHa... My school is pretty dull. What kind of things does your school do each year? Anything other schools don't do. I think about the only thing besides Valentines and St. Patty's day that our school does is..... uhhhh..... I actually don't think that there is anything that our school does XD. Yupp my school is boring. Oh wait....nope other schools do that too....

Ahhh.... I'm sorry. Does anyone still get pinched or kissed when they don't wear green? I do and my friends pinch hard XD.

So, yay!! I got ALL of my homework done, which was a lot. I had to write 2 papers, do 2, 4 page packets, read a book and finish Algebra II. So now I feel like I had a BIG weight lifted off my shoulders and now I can do what ever I want for the next 1/2 hour! (I have to go to work in 1/2 hour)

Here's another question: What is an average amount of homework if you are still in school?

Mine usually isn't near as big as that but I had some back work that I had to do.

LOL. I'm only in year 11 myself, but I'm doing a bunch of college classes so my work load is intense. I don't do half the work, and it's not because of gaia as most of you guys can verify. Sorry I haven't been active. Oh, and the first Quidditch practice has been posted for 3-11-08 about 4 American Mountain time. You guys on the team know where to go. Those of you not on the team, it's not too late. All of the lead positions are taken, but you can still have a BU position. Just go to the Hufflepuff Quidditch tryout thread and follow the directions.

As for my school, we don't really do anything fun for Valentines or things like that. This week is battle of the sexes week, so it's us girls against us guys. Last year one of the sophmores decided that he wasn't going to talk to girls all week because of it. Well his cousin was also a sophmore at the school, so she wound up as his translator when he needed to tell a girl something. It was highly entertaining. Though it was terrifying on Friday when a lot of the drama boys wore dresses or skirts, and the drama girls wore baggy pants. How natural some of the guys looked made me scared for life.
