Welcome to Gaia! ::

I wrote while I was angry; I guess a verbal thrashing is what I deserve even when I am rightfully pissed off. :T

Although... I'm not pissed off that people have lives, it's just when threads are sitting around for more than a month while people log on every day to either complain about boredom or writer's block (even when quality isn't something to be considered), or just idly chatter in some other thread or guild. I'm also not sure whether to assume it really is IRL at fault, or if people are just shirking it. The last summer break was pretty lackluster compared to those of past years, even when everyone was off and had loads of time to burn. I was moving to IL during that time, but I did have access to Gaia and still managed to post, so I'm not going to consider it as a factor.

@ Styk: Thank you. This is perfect to get it rolling. I'll type up a good, one-post skip that'll bring everyone (except Pen and Jade, at Pen's request) back into the proper timeline and put the plot train back on its rails.

@ DaniellePhantom: I don't recall you being part of the main roleplay yet; my statements would not apply to you yet. Second, if you know of other things that are so much 'better' than Gaia, then why are you here? Go to wherever that 'something better to do' is.

xd

All I'm going to say is: Funny statement.

For the sake of Bob and the others, I wont write back what I wanted to.

Hello guys, sorry for the sudden disappearance but I had massive overload of projects. Well thats actually what I'm going to talk about.

First off my anatomy class rocks but has been more work intensive than I ever thought. I have drawn the human skeleton, then drawn the human body as if there was no skin and I can see the muscles, now I have to copy a master drawing then do another drawing of that same picture but once again removing the skin to show how the muscles and the last project is just a long pose with charcoal. I have learned every surface muscle and how it attaches to the bone. I come out of that class so drained and sprialing with information I need to take a nap right after. Most likely I will get a C.

My animation class is the bomb! And I'm soooo proud of the Film I'm working on and everyone seems so excited to see it finished. Right now its mostly finished and has music (where I got the music is another story wink ) I put a link to it here. Its unlisted and will be that way until its complete.


Art History boring. Very simple.

Screen Writing is so much fun! My teacher loves my story and I'm such having a fun time writing it. Of course what story I'm using is an idea that me and rion have been playing to make into a comic soo it will be altered slightly when goes movie to comic book. So excited that my teacher loves the idea XD

Story boarding is driving me, Rion and our roommate completely INSANE! Our teacher has entirely misplaced his mind. The amount of work and professionalism he wants from us for each project is not possible for the time he gives us to do it in. Not to mention he doesn't tell us what he wants until after we turn it in. HOW are we suppose to read that mind of his?! And when we sit down for a critique he just babbles on about I don't know what but it has nothing to do with what he were discussing! And at the end of the day he only get a quarter of the class critique (the same kids each time mind you and guess who has a spot close to the top of the alphabet) and his favorites get a good job and the rest of us, well you'll figure it out. I'm not one of his favorites and I'm not wasting my time trying to be.

Now I got a few good boards out of the class already but each needs more time. I still want to be a storyboard artist so I'm not going to let this class let me believe otherwise. So look out for me on the credits under story board!

What else had happened... Rion got Skyward sword and quite frankly me and Rion don't want to stop playing! Its so much fun!

One last thing before I wrap this up. The guy who did the music for my film, I'm also involved with smile I say involved cause I met him once in person and thats when he was visiting my other roomie (they are cousins and it so happens that he spent the night in the house we all share) and we hit it off. That was around August and he have been texting, calling, playing the xbox live, and lately Skype is how we've comunicating. He unfortunately lives in California.....and he sooooo cute and funny and just so much fun to talk to. He plans for another trip up to Erie after Christmas and I can't wait!

So yeah thats what has been happening in the life of Pen.

@ Lioness: Uh.... Almost all of the characters are at HQ, the central setting of the RP and the same place all new members make their introduction. Having your character knock on the door with luggage in hand is fine. Get first impressions of existing characters and provide a first impression of yours. Something like that. Everyone introduces themselves in different ways.

@ Skotti: IRL - 1, Skotti - 2.

@ Dani: Lol X3 Honey Badger! <3

@ Jay: Ummmmmmmm. . . Honestly, I've no idea. But I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that all of us, even the 3 - 4 of the new members will jump in.
This reminds me, Um. . . I'm actually going to skip out on my idea- The one where Luciano is forced to stand trial. But he's still losing his power, and I'm still killing off a character.
NOBODY ask Who, because you'll have to wait and find out razz .

@ Pen: First of all, did I ever tell you how ******** AWESOME it is to see you? [Hugs super tightly] X3 I missed my favourite little country girl!
Second of all, I'm really happy that despite all of the stress of your storyboarding you've been having an amazing time! And congrats on your new guy! :'D That's so awesome! [Hugs tightly]
I'm very, very proud of you! Don't doubt yourself for ONE second!! You can do this! NEVER give up! :'3 I freaking believe in you!!!!
Btw, tell 'Rion I say "HAAAAAIIIIIIII!!!!" and give her a hug for me! X3- Cute animation, by the way! X3 I loved it to bits!!

@ Lioness: :'D HEY!!!! Welcome to the Roleplay section! Call me Angelo! Like The Vice Captain, Skotti, said you can just jump into the Role plays now! Don't let "Right to the night" intimidate you (sometimes a role play with tHAT much activity can intimidate a person!), it's open and we're ALWAYS looking for new characters to interact with! We actually just finished up an Arc recently (one of our last, actually), so you're just in time!! biggrin It's great to have you here!!

@ Skotti: About the 'Oi' bit: LMFAO! You realize that not all of us say "Oi", right? Lol It's just a television thing. . Same with "Smashing!" and "Jolly good fun!" and "Cheerio!" XD We do say 'Hi!' and/or 'Hello!' Lol.

The new house: Nice, nice! I know how that all can be. I've moved too many times in my life where it's gotten to the point where if I moved again. . . Well. . lol I'd probably chain myself to the floor; I'm just sick of moving.

Work and School: Ouch. Lucky for me I only have to worry about work (which is going a lot more smoothly for me, but my paycheck from my first job was horrible because I was sick one week and couldn't come in to work).

Internet on the phone: As much as I hate mobiles, I loved my sister's on Saturday because I was doing some Black Friday shopping, . For as much as I loathe them with a passion, they actually can be useful- When they're not the reason I'd be broke. [/Hasn't had a mobile since Sophmore year of High School, and doesn't regret that decision one bit]

@ Everyone else: I never did ask how your Holiday was! D: How was everyone's Thanksgiving? What did all of you do that day?

@ Skotti: Some of us prefer the term British XP. But anyway, my mum's side comes from England (Derby, to be exact- and I know a very sweet girl from Redding), and NOBODY in England actually talks that way. lol I think you've been watching a little too much of that "British Comedy" (There's a reason it doesn't always do well over there XD- Same with Soaps LOL!! Especially Soaps!).
I think that rather than trying to embody a stereotype (Because last I checked, stereotypes were bad, sometimes even hurtful), I was thinking you could actually submerse yourself in the actual culture itself rather than just going off of Stereotype and (horrible) television.
I'm seriously NOT trying to bash on you or your character! I'm sure you thought it was hilarious, and I admit that for a while I thought it was hilarious too! But, like,. . . lol I feel like you're taking it a bit too far. Lol Like, I'm pretty sure someone would be upset if I made a character that was Stereotypically American, or Stereotypically French (I threw that in there because Dani is part French XP- Who loves you, Dani cakes?). Y'know?
Yes, it was funny at first but now I'm kind of getting a little offended; We don't say "Bloody Hell" that much, nor really the word "Bloody" at all, We don't really say "Oi", and we don't really have hardcore tea parties (But I like to. Tea parties are fun!). And I'm terribly sorry I never said anything before, it's just that you seemed to be having fun and whatever and I didn't want to be a b*****d and ruin your fun. But at the same time, I need you to know that I get a little bit offended- It's where my mother is from. It's where I'd like to have a family someday. Y'know?
And hey, again I'm not trying to bag on you or anything. I'm just saying what I feel.

@ Lioness: XD I freaking love that face!! It's the best face EVER!!
But yes, I haven't had one since then and it's been a perfect life for me, actually. Not only do I hate mobiles, but I also hate Facebook, MySpace, Twitter. I also try to stay away Tumblr, but my friend Saku (Who is also my Vice Captain in CHAOS) just makes Tumblr look so fun. She posts funny pictures of her website. It's pretty cool!
I mean, I'm sure having all those things is beneficial- Especially if you're trying to get a hold of someone. But, most of the time it becomes a popularity contest and people will sometimes throw a b***h-fit if you don't add them; Ever seen that one episode of South Park where Stan is forced to make a Facebook and friend people? And people get mad if you don't add them, and what not?- Even if you don't know them (but, Ohhhh! You're 'supposed to add them because you're friends with their best friend's girlfriend's Aunt's Uncle's Brother's Father's former Roommate).
If people want to get a hold of me, they can reach me by landline. Or they can write me a letter. I'm usually home anyway- well, after I get home from being out. See, I like to go out after work. :3
Even if I got a mobile, the only people I'd talk to would me my friends here in KGBO and CHAOS (some of the people where I live aren't exactly worth my time anymore, honestly). And even then I know it would be a fun time!

@ Jay: If I ever get a phone (Lord help me if I do), it would probably be a smart phone. . . just because I want to put a cool skin on it :'3 And find some sexy Wallpaper for it!
