Yup, I like puzzle games too. 4laugh
It helps now that you're visiting too. *hug*
Nah, the arena's just a popularity contest.
Yeah, I like the item update. 3nodding
I don't know.
I caught the fish and the butterflies on most of the accounts I did the quest on.
By the last one though I was sick of towns, so I paid way too much for a blue butterfly.

Yes, I am now a Jedi. I bet you didn't know I was training! blaugh I've just been picking up Star Wars books. (Jacen's gone to the dark side. crying I know, who? xd )
So I got some free art to commemorate. mrgreen
I loved Dr. Mario! I used to be really good at that. I had a couple of friends who loved to play that on two player. So cruel. Tetris is fun too, but I'm not as good at that one. I think I'm not good at visualization. (And I rush, so I always put a piece in the wrong spot!)
What kinds of games do you like, Ferdinand?

Jen: That's nice. Too bad I dislike them so much. But don't think I'm going to stop liking you & yer mom just cuz you like something I hate. That's not who I am. Thanks for the hug. I'll pop in whenever I have time. Right now I'm just hugging brownie. 3nodding Yeah, I know. Still, there are some avatars you have that should be entered. The mermaid avatar you have right now for example, WOW! SK must love that one. It looks so sexy and cool that it should be among the top 10 at least. mrgreen Well I still haven't tried to put that Liam's pic in my Gaia home. I'll let you know if I do. It sucks you had to actually buy a butterfly. Since I hate fishing, I had to buy the blue bass and now i find out that its price has gone down? This makes me very angry (quoting the martian from the Looney Tunes), he-he. rolleyes Nina: That's so cool Nina! I know who Jacen is cuz I have the book where him and Jaina join the Jedi Academy and find a downed TIE fighter and try to fix it. Have you read that one? I also have this one where Han kidnaps Leia in an attempt to make her forget about a so called prince and marry him instead. This one is one of the early books of course. mrgreen Cool art Nina! But why is yer light saber upside down? confused You know what, I'm not as good as visualization either cuz when the game gets faster, I usually panic and end up placing things in the wrong places. That's why I hate those games, they always have to slowly become faster as you progress in them. Why can't they change instead? It's always the same darn thing all the time and that's why I don't like them. I enjoy games that at least give you the illusion of change, you know? I like adventure games, action packed games, RPG, strategy, simulation (Although I've only played flight & driving simulators) and survival horror. I can't remember if there are other genres I like. At least not right now though... sweatdrop Everyone: Question: If you end up marrying someone, it means you should share all your secrets with them, right? Still, do you think there should be stuff you have to keep to yourself in order to protect those you love?

Nana:
*lol* Yeah, who? wink
Fun fun!
I was pretty good at it too.
I actually really like the tetris for the N64
You can get extra points for making the pieces into blocks.
Hypno:
*giggles* I should hope not.
3nodding <3
I do appreciate you feeding Broownnie too.
SK hasn't actually seen this one.
He's not on Gaia all that often.
I did get a compliment on it in one of the threads I frequent.. 4laugh
Okay, let me know if you can put it in your house.
Yeah, the price on the blue bass severely inflated when everyone wanted one for Liam's quest.
It statnds to reason that it'll go back down now that that's all done with.
As for your question.
If you're seriously considereing getting married to someone you should be up front with them before you're legally bound. Honesty/trust is very important to a successful relationship, let a lone a marriage.

You know, I'm beginning to wonder if you two dislike something I like as well. mrgreen It's ok, happy to do it! I just wish I had the time to get it to first place again. Too bad, eh? rolleyes No? Too bad you changed it so quickly. That mermaid avatar was tha BOMB! No wonder you got a compliment on it. Seriously! You got some great ideas for avatars Jen! I'm glad you got the items to make them come to life too. wink You know what? I just tried Liam's pic in my house and you can actually place it there. Guess what though? You can't place it on your walls, only on the floor. How about that!? You'd think that a good place for it would be on a wall but, no! That's sooo weird... confused So, in yer opinion, nobody is entitled to any kind of secrets then? I heard how everyone deserves to have at least some secrets. So, when would you say it's a good time to begin sharing secrets with one who will be yer spouse? Before or after marriage?

There probably are things that we dislike that you do.
It would be a very boring place indeed if we all liked and disliked the same things.
That's okay.
Yeah, I get bored with things.
I really like the outfit I have on right now.
Not sure why exactly, but I do.
I don't always have the items that I want.
I often look around in the shops for items to go with my ideas. 3nodding
Yeah, that figures.
It's not like SK and I give each other a detailed minute-by-minute run-down of everything that happens or has happened.
Still, I'm honest with him about me.
There were a lot of things that Sk and I talked about as we were dating. I don't think that either of us really had anything that we were trying to keep from each other.
There are things that I don't talk to Chris about if it's not my "secret" to share. But that's different 'cause it's not something that's affecting him and/or me and/or our family directly.
I mean like something that one of my friends tells me about herself in confidence... ya know...

I'm with Jen. I think, though, it's important to say that not keeping secrets is not the same as keeping your distance. If that makes sense.
What I mean is what Jen was just saying. Certainly she doesn't give her husband a run down of her day, but she is honest with him.
I was very honest with Jay from the get-go. I wanted him to know exactly what he was getting into. It seems to have worked. blaugh But there are still plenty of things I haven't told him like stories from childhood and later. In the end, those things come out in conversation eventually.
I have quite a few of the Young Jedi Knights books, but I can't remember them all. Usually because I sat down and read them too fast. (They are kind of thin books.)
As for the upside-down lightsaber, I'm thinking he wanted it as a type of border/design. Jay mentioned that too and offered to "fix" it using photoshop.

Jen: Yes, I believe we already talked a bit about how boring it would be if we were all the same. wink I see... Well, for what it's worth, I like this "dark" avatar you have right now too. The Alruna's Rose gives it a little... what do you call it? Anyway, it's really good. Ah, so you shop around for them eh? Well at least you have plenty of items and if you don't have the new ones (like the monthly collectibles), you can always get them yerself, right? I am satisfied with the items I have right now. And since I don't feel like changing my avatar, well. I like that it's looking exactly as I wanted, or at least I happen to think so. Sometimes I wish I had other stuff too though... sweatdrop I know. I just don't get why the picture won't go on a wall. rolleyes Well you'll have to excuse me as I'm still a newb in the matters of marriage and yes, even dating. I suppose being honest is important but I've always wondered about the things you could talk about and which are not such a good idea to do so; If that makes sense... I think I get what yer trying to say and I was also wondering about that kind of secrets. I mean, if someone trusts you enough with a secret I also assumed that it wasn't up to you to share it even with yer spouse. I suppose I could share with you something and trust you not to tell anybody, not even SK. It's not that I'm gonna do something like that anytime soon though, he-he. sweatdrop Still, it's reassuring to know that I (or even Nina) can trust you with something important. Ok, so in recap: There really isn't something as a "sharing secrets time". It has to sort of happen naturally during the course of the relationship, am I right? I suppose that if I'm in a relationship, I should probably save the most embarrassing stuff for after I get married. After all, you wouldn't want that sort of thing to hit the press like it happened to Britney Spears with Justin Timberlake, huh? Oh boy! rolleyes Nina: I suppose it sort of does make sense. And here I was thinking you had to give out a report or something, he-he. mrgreen I suppose yer right. I mean, about waiting till the subject comes up so you can talk about it. And besides, if for some reason, you and Jay end up splitting up (God forbid), you won't feel bad about sharing yer most embarrassing things, like I mentioned before. I hear ya! The one about the TIE fighter was really thin. I finished it in less than a day. 3nodding Oh, so that's what happened! I was wondering what was up with that. Ha-ha! Get it? "Up" with that? Ha-ha! rofl I hope Jay fixes it soon for you. 3nodding

Nana:
That's pretty much how I felt.
I wanted to be up front about who I am.
So that not only did he know what he was getting into,
but if he didn't like me for me he could move on.
I never wanted to be with anyone that I had to pretend to be someone else with.
...ya know.
Hypno:
*giggle*
Yes it does seem to come up rather a lot doesn't it?
Thanks.
I actually was sporting this get-up when I posted that though:
Sometimes.
Sometimes I can't and I just start over with a different outfit.
Yeah, that would be cool if it could. 3nodding
Well... Well when we were dating I typically didn't bring up when I was on my period.
Now it's not so embarrassing, pluse there are reasons to mention it.
Not the least of which means that as long as my period comes I'm not pregnant.
Is that the kind of thing that you're talking about?
*giggle* No there is not a "sharing secrets time."
You kinda deal with things as they come up.
Most of us don't have the same kind of problems as the celibrities.
Ya know Hypno...
Part of being that open with another person is trust.
You trust them with all of you, and trust that they love you enough not to hurt you... and to help you work though anything that you may be embarrassed about struggling though.
You also have to give up your secrets trusting that even if the relationship goes wrong they're not going to burn you...
Not sure if I'm saying what I'm trying to say there.

This is Hubby's newest D&D character Ostivahn.
He's a half-elf Druid.
With a Mountain Lion companion... Kaya was as close to that as I could get. ^^;

He-he, yeah.
Yer welcome! I had no idea you had yer avi looking like a female musketeer. It looks quite good but it also feels a bit plain; you know what I mean? I feel like it's missing something for some reason.
Say, have you ever tried doing something bizarre and funny? Or how about an avatar that is somewhat of a crossbreed? I wish Gaia could leave each post with the avatar you had at the time you posted, that way we could have a sort of gallery in a thread and see what each member in a guild looked like at some point. Wouldn't that be great?
Well, I'm not sure that's the kind of thing I meant but, sure! Why not? sweatdrop I wish I knew more about all those other reasons you mentioned though...
Ok so, if I meet a girl and one day she tells me: "Ok, it's secrets sharing time!" Should I write it off as a weird thing and assume she's kinda nuts or what?
I totally get what you said there Jen. I believe trust and respect are very important in a relationship. Well, there are other things too but...
I believe you said the most important things and you probably said what you were trying to in the first place. Thanks Jen! mrgreen

Not sure if I'm saying what I'm trying to say there.
Well said, Jen! I definitely agree with that. 3nodding Being in a long distance relationship for the first two years, I realized how much I had to trust him. And then I realized it didn't matter if someone is far away or close by, it is still the same trust you have to extend. I think a lot of issues people have in relationships is their inability to trust. So when you find someone you feel you can trust, then that's it. It's worth exploring. Should Jay and I break up, I've always felt it was worth it. I'd never worry about having shared embarrassing secrets with him. But to be honest, if someone tells me a secret and asks me not to share, I might share it with Jay. It depends on the secret or the person. If Jay knowns the person very well, faces them daily and is good friends with them, then is it not my secret to share. But if he doesn't know the person, and it's something interesting I might share it with him because I know it wouldn't go further. He's not a chatty Cathy with such things. Plus, it's just really hard to keep secrets from him. I'm trying to hold back a surprise right now, and it's really difficult! Well, Ferdinand, if someone sits you down and tells you "It's sharing time!" I think it will depend on the person you're with. If you don't trust her and she starts that, then that might be odd. Definitely trust is something natural that can't be forced. I have learned that over and over with friends. If it clicks everything else just falls into place, and you won't have to have sessions of secret sharing time. xd

Hypno:
Yeah, I looked through my stuff and stuff in the stores,
but I didn't really see anything else that I thought fit with it, ya know...
You didn't think that my drummer was bizzare enough?
I would think that was weird, but it really depends on the perosn.
Okay, that's good, 'cause I can read that still and I'm not sure I'm saying what I was trying to.
Nana:
Thanks.
It is, trust is such a big part of a good relationship!
I'm the same.
Should something Happen between Hubby and I...
It was worth it all. And I'm not worried about it.
I would be worried though if I were worried about what would happen if we broke up.
That would mean that our relationship was in a bad place.
A really, really bad place.
I guess there have been times I've told Hubby things like that as well.
Like you say though, those times that I have told him I know that it's not going any further.
And as you said if it's someone that he knows/sees on a regular basis is simply is not my secret to tell. 3nodding
Oh, I know what you mean!
Even though Hubby likes surprises it drives me crazy to keep 'em. *giggle*

Ah, now we're getting somewhere, he-he. Thanks to both of you for yer thoughts and opinions. That was exactly what I wanted! 3nodding Nina: Yes, I agree about the same kind of trust you'd have to extend no matter if yer close or far apart. I also agree with you on yer second point. Inability to trust must be an ugly thing. Really? I'm gonna make a mental note to to share secrets with you then, he-he. lol So, a surprise for him, eh Nina? Best of luck releasing it till you are both ready for it. I gotta tell ya though, I'm not sure if I would have such a hard time keeping a nice surprise from my lady. Yes, that sounds about right. I thought of something similar too but I also wanted confirmation. Thanks for taking the time to say something about this. I really appreciate it. 3nodding Jen: No? That's ok Jen, it's not like every avatar has to be a winner, right? Hmm, nope! I just thought it was kinda cool but not bizarre in any way. Go figure, eh? sweatdrop Yes, yer right. I suppose it would depend on the person I'm with. 3nodding Ha-ha! Ok... I gotta tell ya Jen, I wouldn't worry about you and SK cuz you both seem to be really connected. If I had to bet, I would bet that you two are gonna last forever (I believe in reincarnation) and I'm sure you must have found each other time and time again in previous lifetimes. You know? Now, if only I could do the same... mrgreen

Quick post before I bop off to bed:
Finally got Mom's Mother's Day present to her today:
There is a question mark by Flare 'casue that name hasn't been decided for sure.
The gray one is Cloud though. 3nodding
Cloud is 2 months old.
Flare is 8 month old.
I so wish I wasn't allergic to kitties and I could have my own.
