Man, every time i mention testing i get like five people offering to help! Everyone's way too nice here, sometimes! I've been relying on my buddy, she get free breeding with the females i don't have public breeding set for, i get free testing. I need to make a list of all the ones that need testing though, augh.

I'm usually doing something else during them, like running around the festival zone or actually getting art done! And besides, it's the least i can do! Yeah, except when i forget and i'm all excited for a deadline, and i'm waiting and i'm like IT'S 8PM YES till i realize it's 7pm sylestia time...still, one hour is nothing compared to half a day!

Blue's my favorite color, and pink books are usually too...too romantically-oriented and/or an overdone topic like vampires.Tbh the only vampire tales i'm interested in are Dracula and Carmilla. The bad thing about YA books these days is one person gets a succesful topic and then EVERYONE DOES THAT. There's always like three that are actually good, but they get overlooked because of the hundreds of lackluster carbon copies.

Well like i said a while back, i'll save dyes for the last pair so i can get them perfect.

I used to have a beanbag, but then the zipper broke and that was an unholy mess. Well okay, there was one hole, and that was the problem. But it's probably too much for my back now...ahh the joys of having a bad back! If i sit in my bed, i can't sleep at night. It ridiculous.

Ha, my hair was literally everywhere. I broke the vaccuum a couple times with the remnants of my shedding...it takes a lot of practice tbh. I loved high ponytails! So swishy n_n i took ballet for a while so i had a lot of buns too. Even with short hair i have it a little longer than people who make cool tutorials...

1500 words man. Got to the point i'd copy articles in and rewrite each sentence and hang out with the thesaurus halfway through some essays to make 'em longer. I think that's cheating but dear god at 5am there's only so much thinking that can be done...let's just say when my mental health started declining there were worse things than getting in trouble on my mind.

Aaaand i'm going to bed soon again. Trying to ration my phone data since i hit 75% already...

ahaha, well we all understand what it's like to go testing-kit-less, and it's annoying. The main reason i was so desperate to quickly get a testing kit at the time was actually so i could do free testing for people :) I was still a newbie at the time, i didn't even know pets needed testing for a while and never thought about doing projects (they sounded really hard XD) but i reaaally wanted to do free testing. So i had a free testing thread for a while. Unfortunately, i am now terribly inconsistent, i can't keep people waiting for me like that when there are others that'll be much faster. So i closed the thread but i occasionally offer to test some pets if i see someone needs it. I just never know when i would suddenly have to leave sylestia for a little bit due to exams and stuff. But, that's good :) It's always nice to have a friend. Eveanw was my testing buddy :P I felt sorry for him though, made him test like my whole hatchery at once once, but he didn't even complain, he's so nice :3 I must admit, setting pets back up is quite annoying, especially with an internet connection like mine, takes like 5 minutes just to set 10 up.

oh yeah XD That happens too sometimes. I woke up at 5 once to try to make it, but turns out i miscalculated and it ended at 5 :P I went back to bed XD Running around the zone is difficult sometimes, my computer lags and i get like no where.

yeah, blue is a very likeable colour =3 it's sooo nice!
yeah nah, i don't like the vampire and overly romantic books, a little bit of love is sweet :3 omg yes, like after the hunger games everything is something like that now, it's getting boring and unoriginal. It makes the good ones hard to find.

mhm :) Lots of baby nurturing!! Fingers crossed for an essence in the process :D

oh gosh, it would be quite a mess.....
Why can't you sleep if you sit down? I have a bad back too, it's been like that since i was 4. Makes me feel like an old lady XD It gets so bad sometimes i can't sleep, but i'm used to it now, it's been a long time. It's always hurting, always, but i barely notice it now unless it gets bad.

yeah XDD Mum complains all the time about how many vacuums i have broken haha. It's the easiest thing, and it keeps my hair outta my face. I did ballet when i was little too, so i had the bun... i had a big bun :P

haha, i understand, gotta do that with some sentences too XD The thesaurus is my new best friend. Got a 4000 word essay to write next year o.o Gee am i looking forward to that.....>_>

Good night! Sweet dreams :)
... and in case i don't see ya, good morning, good afternoon and good evening! :D
hehehe

Honestly, once i have my basics, i think i'll just be donating gold to newbies. I mean, i make stuff pretty quick, i'm a far higher level and i have most stuff unlocked. I remember how hard it was to keep my pets alive in the beginning, tested pets are one thing, leveling is another. Can't level dead pets, and can't buy more pets if you're outta gold!

I've known my buddy for like...god, like 6 years now? I know people say online friends aren't real friends, but honestly we're much closer than a lot of friends i had irl(was homeschooled for high school. Lost contact with irl friends :T). She's put up with my various antics for that long! Honestly there's always something we're gonna be doing for each other. I'm keeping an eye out for multi-trait Lighs for her, she wants to breed her first 6vis noodle lion, as she calls 'em.

Ugh, i totally get 'net issues. My internet problems were so messed up that my uncle bought a 25ft ethernet cable for me. Otherwise our wireless router is useless because my birth father never told us the password, and i'm not going to start talking to him to get the password, so i can change the signal channel and actually have it pick up. Without the cable i only have my phone, which i can only use the data plan with so i'm limited there too. I've got speed but only if i have internet in the first place!

Yeah i mean, romance is nice but so many authors think it's a plot device and dear god no, that's more character development than anything! And even then, if the main character is male, the female love interest is sooo one dimensional, she's just there to make him have human emotions. Which is crap development. Not to mention the amount of uniqueness that could be acheived just by making characters more diverse. I mean, different people go through different things with different experiences, you could do so much with that!

They say if you nurture one species for awhile you'll get that essence! Haven't managed myself but you never know.

No, if i spend too much time in my bed doing other stuff, i can't sleep at all at night. Maybe my brain thinks it's supposed to be doing something else? Haha, yeah, my lower back is killing me for the past few months, when i get stressed/anxious my shoulders get permanantly tense, and then the rest of my back feels stiff. Then there's my joints, i probably have arthritis or something. Too young to be like this!

Oh my god, i'd have to use a drain brush to pull out these huge clumps of hair like once a week, and my brushes every few days, and my bathroom floor would build up hairs...a huge mess, oh my god. My mom grew up with long hair, so she knew how to make sleek, tight hairstyles that kept things in order. She'd do my ballet buns, the amount of bobby pins jammed into my scalp were astounding...but i had a sleek bun that never fell apart!

I've gotten really good at bullcrapping essays. Taking out contractions helps, too. Makes you sound pretentious, saying can not and we are over and over...but the amount of contractions we use really can raise the count!

Welp, afternoon now, heh. Or good evening for you? I dunno, heh

What the heck!!!!!! I already replied but it's gone! man... i typed so much too ;_;
... sorry, i did reply, must've closed my computer shut to soon and didn't go through. I don't remember what i said now.. i did write loads more before, sorry ><

Well, i loove helping out newbies becuase when i was a newbie so many lovely people helped me out and i was like "When i am old and have lots of stuff and know everything, i'm gonna be super kind to newbies too and help them like i've been helped =3" So ya, i love doing games and giveaways and stuff too, it's always fun. I've just been busy lately, i think imma do one soon, i've been wanting to for ages, I just don't have any ideas for a game. I want something fun and different :D


awww! That's adorable X3 I had a dream as a little girl to have this one bestie i'd known since we were like 3.... but that'll never happen. I lose touch with friends as i move from school to school. But sylestia friends are awesome!! You guys can make me happy and warm and fuzzy and i know there is always someone i can talk to who actually cares :) What a lucky friend of yours xD

Yeah, we have one of those too because wifi gives us headaches but still slowwwww

I wrote a lot for this bit but basically, i agree XDDD Romance is about character development but it can be used as a plot device. yeah, basically, i agree with everthing you said XD

I tried that :( Didn't work, but with my luck, eh. I did 2000, maybe not enough. But i still have hope :D I'll just keep nurturing until i get one!

Argh, my shoulders and back are terrible. bad ankles too, never recovered fully from bad sprains. Too you, to young XD

Yeah, mum has to do that :P She's always making fun of me with it. I prefer a pony tail, easy and does the job though i do do buns too. I've learnt to do it in a way where all i need is a stick. But if i'm dancing, heck, i need a whole packet of pins XDD

My problem is going over the word limit, i'm not very good at getting to the point or doing short sharp sentences...

Yup! Afternoon now :) Was evening when i wrote my original message... argh
Guess it's goodnight for you now, and good afternoon (or morning) when you see this ^o^

bump

bump

ahh, it did that once to me on mobile. which i can't use rn because i ran up the data again.....it's killing me, i can't check anything on here unless i pop in on a computer OTL

i gave away all my extra/unwanted festival items to newbies, some people have like, the one bandit outfit and i want them to have OPTIONS! and, well, i have like 50 pets that i can give up if you need prizes, heh.

yeah, when i moved to Florida i left all those friends behind. lost touch with most of them, and while i've tried to find them on facebook(without an account lmao), i'm too afraid to make contact. one's trying to get into a music career though, which is awesome. i think i encouraged her to pick up her guitar again the last time we talked, so i mighta had something to do with that! but my internet friendships are so much longer lasting, there's a lot less pressure and god, if you know someone for 6 years you DO get to know each other and care about them, y'know?

It can, if it's like, a romance novel. or if the relationship/the nature of it will affect the plot. but if it's 'guy falls in love with girl, girl gets kidnapped, guy shows emotion and rescues girl, happily ever after' it's sooo bland. or 'girl is a tomboy and tough but then she meets that one guy and he sees her being feminine and they awkwardly fall in love' like dear god please be more creative.

i've never actually sprained or broken anything in my body. pulled muscles, sure, but no sprains. i'm just creaking and old, i guess? psh, 21 is ancient, isn't it. at least i can effectively mock old people, though not sure 'mock' is the right word...mimic?

i liked using two hairties, one to make a ponytail, one to secure it after i twisted it around. people use that weird sock trick for the big fluffy fancy ones, but god that's too much work. they always have stick-straight hair, too, i've got too many waves for that.

it is...well it's evening now. heh.

Aww.. you're so nice X3 yeah, i gave away some fest stuff too, donated some to some giveaway threads too :) haha... i was the newb that didn't have anything to wear, when i got my first outfit (the trainer one or whatever it's called), i was sooo excited! I put it on right away! Took me a while to figure out how to of course :P I only have fest outfits XD But i've got quite a few so plenty of options :D Aw, that's nice ^^ We'll see depends of what i do, some things need fewer prizes, somehtings need more. I need some items though i think....

oh! wow! That's awesome! It's always nice when you can make a difference to somebody's life in a positive way ^_^ Me too, always a bit apprehensive to make contact, but not with my close friends XD I charge at them like a bull! I bet ya do know each other very well and everybody seems to care on sylestia, it's so nice. I'm always kinda curious to find out what people are like in real life, what they look like, what their voice sounds like, but then, that's kinda the point of online friends i guess, you're not really meant to know each other in RL. You can though ;) But online friends are so much more chill =D

yeah, guess thats when things become cliche :(

lucky you, it's not fun, trust me. haven't pulled muscles though.. touch wood!!
haha, nah! 21 is a great age! you're still young :) mimic... sounds better than mock xDDD

yeah, i need 2 hairties too, not tight enough otherwise. I also find finding the right hairties really hard, they're always too small or just that little bit too long or not elastic enough.. argh. but it's ok, found one i like :D haha, my hair is never straight, it's always wavy and it holds shape way to well like if i curl it into a bun or plait it.

Goodnight!

there wasn't a whole lot of clothes to begin with when i was a newbie, most people were wearing either the various adventurer outfits, the mage robes(which i still haven't gotten), or the one set of robes...as long as you had something on, you were pretty much blended in! though that mage robe was awfully coveted...i got suuuper lucky, i won the contest for last month's monthly avatar design, so i got an entire set of all the stuff. but. i'm too stingy to give that away...but i won't enter the next few avatar design contests, to be completely fair i can't enter at all, y'know? i mean, sliiiim chances of winning twice in a row, but slim is bigger than no chance, and it wouldn't be fair to win twice in a row. SO I'LL WAIT! but i'll probably offer to draw people's ideas for those not confident in their skills...i saw a lot of people who weren't so they didn't enter, which is really sad!

i am too, but i know never to pressure anyone into doing anything they don't want to. i won't even ask, y'know? though the general rule is, if everyone's discussing their age and one person doesn't want to, they're usually under 15 or older than 40 and up to no good. which is a decent skill to have, you know not to pressure them to make them uncomfortable if they seem young and you know not to get too close if they seem kinda...off. all that internet safety in elementary school paid off, even if i break a few rules i'm still super wary.

finding out what everyone sounds like is a big one, i always sound like a chipmunk but everyone else sounds just fine! the real shock is heights, when i was in public school i was among the taller of my friends, but now i'm taller than like, all of my online friends. i'm not even that tall, i'm average! actually, average in a lot of ways, to be honest. but that's okay, the special things about me are extra special then! most people assume i resemble whatever my avatar or icon looks like, which is funny because they always used to assume i was a guy, even when i was trotting around in a bikini. never really bothered me though, the only thing about gender that bugs me is when people tell me i have to act/dress a certain way. or that others do, tbh, as long as no one's getting hurt don't police people's lives, y'know?

UGH i do it all the time, tbh. i'll be reaching for something and whoops there goes some sharp shoulder pinchies, and they don't go away till i shower or rub some ointment on it...

my hair is like my dad's now, it's all fluffy and small children would love to stick barrettes in random places. i have a feeling my siblings'll love to do that to me, but that's all part of the fun!

hehehe, off to design my monochrome entries, and then work more on my fishie baby entries...those are hard, but much less pressureful, there's no 'if you fail you can't make any more' for it! and i have longer...

haha, well, when i started i saw the winter gown, and all the pretty wings and cool backs and i was like, "I'll look like that one day!" :D .... still workin' on it XD Will get there eventually :) Oh! You won! Congratz!!! That's amazing!I just missed the deadline because of my time zone >< Did the design and everything. Maybe i'll submit it for the next time =3 hehe... i reckon you should enter and put your talents to good use.. buuuutt... up to you ^o^ Only means i have a better chance XDDDD nah.. you should enter so we can all have cool outfits :D aww.. that's nice, took me forever to think of anything. I'm a terrible drawer so i can't do fancy stuff properly :P

ahaha xD Well, yeah of course! Everyone has a right to their own privacy :) I don't tell people my exact age but i keep it general cause', even though sylestia is great, you never know what sorta people there are on here. But everyone keeps an eye out for each other which is great ^^ yeah XD haha, the cyber safety stuff that they ramble on and on about and really drill into ya head. We get those talks too. I wonder how long they've been doing it for. Yeah, i didn't plan on telling my age at all to anybody but, you guys seem pretty nice and i'll protect myself anyways :P

yeah, my voice is actually really annoying, it sounds terrible in mics because i breathe out too much XD So it sounds like some one knocked the wind outta me. I'm average height too... like no kidding, the news reported the average women height last year for my country and that was me. Felt pretty cool at them time being smack bang in the middle :P Many people think i'm tall but i'm not really, girls are getting really tall o.o oh...uh.... hehe... i though you were a guy before i talked to you too >.< sorry... can't really tell from avi, might be the blue skin XD But it was really obvious you were a girl after talking to you. haha yeah, i don't see why people have to dress a certain way, just, you know, don't go to weddings in a t-shirt and trackies and don't go to your job interview in pjs and stuff like that. Just to show respect. But otherwise, i don't really mind who wears what, doesn't affect me. People should be able to look the way they want to look, i think that's reaaally important actually.

yeah same! I rub some ointment and use a hot water bottle, helps a little :)


hahaha XDD oh dear XD

good luck! Sure your's won't disappoint, as always =3 ooh! I forgot.. yikes, i'll have to find time to do those, i don't think i'll have time this fest *sigh* :( oh well, we'll see.
