Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm back, too! But that's less exciting than Skotti returning.

I see Skotti updated you all. biggrin

Let me be an uber proud Mommy and wife for a sec and just update you on our family life. After all, you were all like a little family to us, and I feel bad we've not been around for you to see all the cool stuff (And please, I wanna hear what you have all been up to, as well!)

Let's start where we left off...





Mid- October. Picture of her and Scott around the same age. I dare you to deny she is his! razz


And her baptism/ Christening <3 Meioma (her Auntie Mina) is her Godmother.



Christmas photos smile


She knows how to sign. smile She can now sign milk, eat, more, dog, finished, Daddy, book, and she is working on a few. smile
As far as vocabulary, she has been saying "uh-oh!" when she drops something since about 9 months old. Other than that, her first word was "Mama", her other words are "Daddy" (not dada, even), dog, "yogurt", "door", "Hello", "bye bye", "that" (she will point to something and say it, like she is asking what it is.), "go, "no" "there" . And she is working on quite a few. Quite honestly,I am floored she is speaking as much as she is. Nothing conversational yet, lol, but she sure is an analytical thinker. lol


She's also a very neat eater. razz


This was her birthday-07.03.11-
she ate the cake with her sippy cup. Silly Girl.


Sorry I don't have more photo documentation for me and Scott.

But we are celebrating our second wedding anniversary in 12 days. smile
Doesn't seem like it has been that long. This guild was a part of our lives before we were even husband and wife, or a family.So, of course we would come back. Skotti has really stunned me with the strides he has made in the last year. smile Ember has been the light of our lives. We love being parents even more than we thought we would. Ember is a Daddy's girl (well, a Mommy's girl, too).But Daddy spoils her, like any doting father would.


It's good to be back. biggrin

@ Mandi: Welcome back smile
--- about me: I'm no longer in California. I currently live with my grandma in Illinois.

Thank you for the welcoms!
waffle: yeah, a recap would be great

@ Jay: XD I could just SEE your 'baww face'- "D; SAY WHAAAAAT?!?! BAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!!"
By the way, happy be-lated Birthday. I forgot to tell you that. lol

@ Mandi: MANDIIIIIIIII!!!! [Hugs] :'D Welcome back!!
Denying the baby is Skotti's: Hmmmmmmm. . . I don't knoooowww, I won't believe the baby is his until Maury says so! [/Trollface]

Little Ember: :'3 That's ******** adorable!!! I'm a very proud uncle!
My mother told me that I started talking around that age, too. And my sister was still kind of the quiet type (Now she won't shut the ******** up XP).

So, like, aside from being a mum are you doing anything else? Making anything? Orrrr?- :O If you are, I'll bet Martha Stewart has NOTHING on you. (I say that to my mum a lot. She cracks up everytime!)
Anyway, it's wonderful to have you and Agent Nancy BOTH back!

A little Update on me: Well! I've got a new girlfriend! Her name is Amanda, she's exactly five feet tall, a Pisces, she's an AMAZING Artist, she's a Band Geek, very smart, very funny, she likes animals, the sound of Thunder scares her, she loves Guitar Hero as much as I do, aaaaand she puts up with my s**t VERY nicely!
Oh, and my mum's getting Married in October to this huge douchebag she hardly knows- They met in September, got engaged two - three days before Valentine's day. I was going to wear all black to their wedding, but Pen managed to talk me out of it. . . Sort of (Instead, I'm wearing ALL black with a red tie).
I still write, but for a few months now I've just been so into drawing- I especially love to draw roses now. If you want, I'll show you some of my stuff later.
I've been drawing: Roses, Tattoo ideas, Ummm. . Recently I drew a glass of wine (with a rose lol). Aaaaaand. . . For now this is all I can think of. But it's a lot!
Aside from all of this, not a lot has been going on with me! AND! I'm very glad you guys are back! I feel like our little family is complete again! heart

@ Katie: You used the wrong "Your" [/Trollface]. :3 I LOVE YOUUUUUUUU!

@ Mandi: I can sew, I just can't make elaborate outfits- BUT!!! I do have a jacket that I recently tricked out! I'll have to show you it some time! I took pieces of my belt off of it, I attached Safet Pins to the cuffs, and I attached these straps from an old Tripp Shirt onto it- It's super cool!
I did all this using my Hot Glue Gun, and hand sewing! biggrin Koji would be proud of me<3

XD LMFAO!!! I'd be in the crowd pretending to be angry at you, "D< You cheated on Skotti, ya hoe!!" "Oh, it's not his! It's not his! The head is too big to be his baby!!" LMFAO!!!!
"Skotti Gallows!. . . You ARE the Father!" Then you freak out and you run up to us "D< I TOLD YOU, ANGELO!! I TOLD YOU SCOTT! I ******** TOLD YOU! BAAAWWWW!" LOL!!!!

:3 Yeah, I love this girl to bits! If everyone here met her, you'd all just love her to death! She's so cool!
Yeeep! AND! I don't know if you remember this, but I really love to take care of my yard! I love doing my yard work; The mowing, the weed trimming, Hell even gardening! I take pride in my yard!
WELL! Scott (the name of my mum's fiance) parks on my ******** grass, and ever since they met he parks in my backyard! Now my grass looks HORRIBLE back there! I almost cry everytime I mow it!

redface Awwwwww!! I'm touched! :'3

@ Styk: Yeah, at first I was all "BAAAWWWW" until I remembered Skotti logged on yesterday. sweatdrop

@ the conversation about Ember:
--- on paternity test jokes: My parents joke that I either came from the FedEx truck or that I was one of the Circut City guys' kids.
--- on talking/walking/whatever: I was 'developmentally delayed' aka, retarded; kind of what happens when you don't breathe when you're popped out and choke on spitup seven weeks (or months?) later, so I couldn't talk until I was 5 or 6. I could read like a son of a b***h, though; reading complex manuals and medical books in my head and perfectly understanding it all at age 2. While I still have retard habits that won't go away (running in circles daily/ restlessness in general and thinking faster than I read or speak, lmao), look at how I am now wink

@ Mandi and Skotti: Mkay, your recap. This is a tldr chronological summary of everything that happened since you two left:


*** Note: A number of months after you two set sail and fell off the edge of the earth, Styk and I discussed the ongoing problems with the RP: inactivity, imbalanced plot responsibility on one person and the resulting inactivity, the lack of freedom due to people not wanting to step on the arcwriter's toes, etc. and came to the conclusion that we should just get rid of arcs. Almost all of the most familiar, longest-standing characters have finished establishing their character through arcs, and now it seems we're just straying from the original story of the RP. Remaining arcs that were late enough in their planning stages were grandfathered in, so that's why Pen's arc and mine are still going to play out. After mine is finished (and I plan on keeping it short), we're going back to the old system, like the very first missions we did, where there's going to be briefings again, a mission control guy that stays out of the action but keeps watch, and more gang-to-gang conflict.

And about me: My parents wanted to move in with my grandma for a number of reasons, none of which I trust btw, and I got dragged along. But it's been alright. I have my own room now (with a lock!), so I have a little more freedom because my parents are in the basement 90% of the time. I'm upstairs. As for my parents, well, they still hate me for being transgender (not that I can help that any) and went as far as choking me two days ago (for standing up for myself and pointing out the truth about them, no less), but it's fine. My grandma loves me a lot and gives me as much support as she can. My summer vacation's practically gone though because my dad wants to drag the family to his mom's house in PA for a week in August, and we'd be back one day before school starts. .__."

@ Jay: xD Nice! Lol!!!!

@ Nari: LMFAO!!!! Hell yes!!! Let's do that now!! XD You can be the one saying Skotti is the father, and we'd be saying "D< NU-UH!!!!"
redface Is it ok if I call you a 'Hoe' on national television? I promise I'll act like a major Diva! redface :'D I'll do my Z-Formation Ghetto Snap!!!

@Styk:
I've mainly been making pretty little dresses for Ember. Last night I made a pretty sweet Library tote. And a nap mat for the little princess.
And what a douche. Shove a pruning shear up his a** the next time he does it.
I WANT A GARDEN! :*(
@ Nari: I was an early learner, too. I got teased for it relentlessly. at a few of my award ceremonies, parents even started to boo me for receiving so many awards. sad haha, as far as being a Valedictorian goes, congrats on that! I got effing ROBBED of my class ranking. It's a long story involving school transfers, way different grading scales, unicorns, and general screwiness. Basically, I was fighting with this other girl for the #1 ranking in one school ( My first), and was only in the 15th percentile for one (second school). They handed out 5.0s for AP courses (2nd school), so plenty of people had a chance to get a 4.0. I got there mid Junior year with a 3.95, had to take basic courses to make up for the differences in credit requirements ( P.E. and the like), and they didn't honor my A's in my other College and AP courses. I actually did the math one day, with the AP courses I was able to do there (like, 2), and if they had honored my past grades, I'd have graduated with a 4.5. And I would have ranked #1. (My 2nd school didn't have one valedictorian, but like twelve who through the crap system got a 4.0)
Hahahaha, I'm not bitter about it or anything. *rocks in corner with tattered HS transcripts, laughing maniacally*
