Very cool! You sound like quite the traveler too! How did you enjoy Europe? I will be in Ireland for 10 days with my partner. I'm pretty pumped ^^

Awesome! Have a great time. I've never been to Ireland or Scotland although I would love to. What do you plan on doing? I loved Europe. ^_^ Everything there has so much history.

It will be my first time as well. We don't really have specific plans, but we rented a car so mostly just driving through the countryside finding things to explore! Plus all of the cheesy touristy stuff like castles and breweries and all that XD

I've never been anywhere in Europe, it's definitely on my list!

[edit]glitched double post

Nooo did you spill on your computer!! :(

I was accepted to the University of Hawaii (which is where I live), Seattle U and Boston College and a couple others but I'm waiting for the big ones on March 31!! I applied to some Ivies so I am waiting anxiously!! I plan on going into political science but it's not so set in stone haha.

I can tell!! And yes of course that was one of my favorite things about this site (aside from the pets and the people :P) so I am excited to get back into it!

Oh no, what happened and how is your ankle now?? And that's great! <3 What are you going into?

Hey, I remember you from when you were khan! It's been a while, wow. How've you been? ^_^

Hey Linn, welcome! You should fit right in, we're all pretty chill (and most of us are at least mildly awkward) here. c: And your avatar is gorgeous, brown tones are so underused. Traveling is super fun! I've been a few places too, but not too many lately. What's the most interesting place you've ever been to? o:

Aww, puppy ;_; What happened, are you okay?

Aha, it's okay. I do that sometimes too, especially when I get a bunch of pings at once (like, y'know, Masq). cx

Ooh, those sound good! I really like the tiny HA contest idea, we could do like the best HA you can make in five minutes or something. (that'd be so hard for me though oh my gosh i spend hours on mine sometimes) And the guess the item thing sounds like it'd be interesting!

Cora is super fluffy, I love her. c: I'm getting her, Batman, and Bitsy. Apparently Bitsy's probably going to be a red bird, which should be gorgeous, but she's so tiny right now, it's adorable. She fits in the palm of my hand. ^_^

Ahh, okay. Let me know if you need anything! c:

It's a very underused wig! I like it too, it just hasn't quite fit anything I've made thus far (hair is the last thing I put on an avatar, usually). I like the wig you're using now too, the blues are so pretty!

Whoops, realised I hadn't done my quests yet and then went off to lunch. c:

Sounds brilliant! Castles are the best and honestly my favourite thing ever. <3 Exploring them is so much fun!

You should definitely go. :D

Kind of? It spilled down the back of my laptop and over the power brick / all my other cords. Oops. >.< Luckily I lifted the laptop up pretty fast (although it's big and heavy).

Oh, awesome! Best of luck with the Ivies. :D Sounds like you'll have a lot of choice. ^_^

Collecting is so much fun. :D They've been rereleasing some older items lately which has been brilliant for collectors, although of course it's still hard to get hold of everything. Enjoy! :D

Eh, it just had the worst flare ever for no reason and swelled horribly. I can sort of walk on it now but not for very long, so I'm stuck sitting around in pain haha. It's improving slowly. c:

I'm studying speech pathology. c: We've already started observation placements (observing an actual SP) whiiich is both cool and stressful. : P

Oh my gosh, a 5 minute HA. XD That would be so stressful! I'm glad you liked the idea though, and that specifically is awesome.

Hmm, I don't think you ever told me - where did all the birds come from? Where are the rest going? They sound so cuuute and I love everything you tell me about them. C: I've only ever had a cat, but I loved her to bits. <3

Yeah, I usually choose hair last as well! This time I chose it halfway through (I guess you saw my half-completed HA) because it fitted with the other colours so well and because it's super pretty. :D I've never managed to use it before either! I love the artist who makes this style of wig... I think it might be but I'm not sure. >.>

Right? That's exactly why we should do it! cx Mine would be pretty awful, but in theory I think it'd be fun, aha.

Oh, I didn't? Whoops. cx The AP biology teacher at my school has tons of animals, including about 40 chickens, and every spring, for the embryology/genetics unit, she does a little chicken raising program in the class. Every student gets a couple of eggs. Some are dissected at different stages of growth and examined, others simply aren't fertile in the first place, some form incorrectly and never hatch, but even with all that, there's usually about 30 chickens that end up living every year. Of course, she can't keep thirty new birds herself, so some of the students keep their birds, and some whose birds didn't hatch are allowed to take the ones that other students can't. She keeps only really keeps a handful of them every year - I think she has 5 or 6 this year that she's taking (including one of my favorites, a little white bird that I named Sugar; I'm glad she's taking her cause I know she'll have a good home). I took the class last year, and my birds never hatched (but it was still really fun to play with them all, and the rest of the class is really interesting too). This year, I convinced my bf to take it, and Batman (or rather, Batchick, she's a hen) is his bird. ^_^ He can't keep her himself, so since I've had chickens before, I'm keeping her, along with a couple others that I just adore.

I don't think I did, actually! But that definitely makes sense. c: Sometimes I do that too, just not very often - I don't think about wig colors as much as other things because I'm not always as strict about matching them as I am about, say, tights. Whoever made it is very talented! I really like that style of wig too, although I don't really know which artist(s) makes them. Speaking of wardrobe stuff, I finally finished my Masq outfit and now it won't update. :c

Oh, I completely agree. We could have a couple of different time limited contests to annoy everyone. :D Mwa ha ha.

Huh, that's really interesting and must be a great way to learn. :o Go you for convincing your bf to do the course as well! How much of your reasoning was related to keeping the chickens afterwards? : P

I think I match the hair to the outfit about half the time. The rest of the time I usually go for black or brown wigs. c: I'm pretty rubbish at layering tights though so I tend to just wear pants or something, haha.

Your HA has changed and it's gorgeous, but it doesn't have any hair. :o There's so much colour matching there, wow. I'm impressed!

@ Skolletta Ooh, fun! /rubs hands together deviously/ This is gonna be hilarious to plan, I can tell. cx

Yeah, it's so much fun! It's basically a lab class, really - we did everything in there, from dissolved oxygen to inserting jellyfish genes into E. coli. It's definitely the strangest class I've ever taken though - within the first week, I was asked to bring both live crickets and M&Ms for labs. cx Not a lot of my reasoning was related to that, actually! It's just a really interesting class, and he's always complaining that we never do hands-on things, so I figured it might work for him.

Yeah, it really does depend on the outfit - some it works beautifully for, others can't be matched for anything in the world. I think avatars can work either way, really, it's just that some look better with or without it. Tights layering is really fun though! It's just a matter of playing around with enough stuff to find something that looks good, really. I'm sure you could do it!

Huh, it hasn't updated for me. o: It's definitely supposed to have hair though - this is what it looks like in the wardrobe. Thank you though! This one took some really funky layering, aha. [edit]Nope, added something else. This one!

Welcome Linn! And welcome back ! I probably wasn't around yet when you were here before, so pleased to meet you both ^^

Does anyone know what the new baking feature is about? I have a starter kit in my inventory that I don't know if I should open or not. What happens when you bake something? Do you just get a food item or is there another point to it?

^_^ I've saved that part of our conversation in a text doc so I don't lose it.

Where do you even get live crickets? XD The class sounds super interesting! I bet you learned loads with all that information and practical stuff flying around. I hope your bf is enjoying it as much as you did. c:

I'll have to challenge myself to layer tights properly sometime. >.> It'll take me forever to get the hang of it.

Ugh, 2 of my face items (including my mask!) have now randomly fallen off my HA, although the mask is still working. I still have 6 layers active so it's not that. :c I still see your HA exactly as the first image you posted but without the wig. Weeeird. Seems like this thread is relevant.

@ Bravida Welcome!! Ooh, backpacking! I have plans to go backpacking one day! Any tips for a first-timer?? ;D

@ RAW Hello! Welcome back! ^^ We've not met, but I'm glad you're returning!

FRIEEENDDDD how's your neck?? Doing better? Also enjoying masq so far? ^^

Aaah I'm sorry, I've been a butt and not responded to your messages yet. >.< <3

My neck's a lot better, thank you! ^_^ I have a lot of mobility back and a lot less pain in general. C: The ankle's still pretty bad though.

Masq is great! Today was my day off uni so I got to spend a lot of time online. C: I really should stop procrastinating on all the irl work I need to do. I love the new wears! How about you, how do you like it? :D

nonononoooo its ok!! You've been busy/ill/injured so you get a free pass or something!! but only this one time no more free passes after this yo xP jk jk jk

AnkLE?!?! I DID NOT HEAR ABOUT your ankle?!??? What happened? D:

Yay for days off~~~ Nahhhh, RL stuff can wait. :P ;D THE WEARS OMG. and I had a discussion about how evERY SINGLE ITEM IN THE MENAGERIE is all WL fodder. UGH SO MANY PRETTIES omg I saw a post somewhere that said I'd need almost 1k trinkets for the first set of items. Not to mention all the older items I need T_T Thankfully this dancing thing is more profitable than TOTing or Kisses! :D

Speaking of got that masq HA ready yet?? ;D sorry if I'm being a pest i just like looking at all the pretty HAs everyone's got!

Hahahaha. Ilu. <3 Seriously, I'm the worst when it comes to being social / antisocial. It's funny because I react differently to writing different types of posts - sometimes buying items or posting in the help forums is ok, but I can put off more social posts and comments for weeks. Whoops. : P

Ummm it flared really badly and I had to go to hospital because I couldn't walk and they took fluid out of it and injected stuff in it and I can walk a little now but it's super swollen and sore and rubbish. : P At least I don't really have to walk all that much...

I got an extension for one of my assignments but I still have a lot to catch up on. :c Halp rl what are you doing why are you so hard

They're gorgeous! I'm not suuuper fond of trains because I can't figure out how to wear them but I love everything in there anyway. The keys and locks have the best CIs! I was discussing it with too on the other thread and I think I must have missed her reply oops. >.> Her HA isn't loading properly! A lot of people seem to be having that issue, me included - I should have a mask and the pretty moonstone eyes but they won't show up. :c

AWH cuddles <3 I'm the SAME WAY THOUGH. If its just a quick reply or nonsensical post, I have no problem because its less structured? idk but it seems lower pressure (not that replying to you or anyone else in comments is higher pressure, but you get my meaning) Its just I want to spend more time with social comments so its a little weird, but I understand! I'm the same way!

OH NO. omg that sounds super painful DX Are you wearing any kind of support? Air cast or something? Cause I can imagine that would be incredibly difficult to walk on!

shoos RL away Leave Skolletta alone, RL! There's other stuff to be done today! ;P

I really REALLY love the look of the trains, but I haven't tried to use them yet so idk how hard it will be...but they're soooooo prettyyyyy~~~ Ok, yeah I just tried to change my HA and it took like 10 min to show up? Huh...And its weird that I can dance with you when you don't have a "visible" mask on :/

hugs back It's nice to be understood! :D <3 We're the saaaame.

Nah, although I bandage it up sometimes. I wear a scarf day and night though, which helps my neck a lot. Mostly I just avoid walking. >.>

Haha, today is actually over - it's 1.15 tomorrow already. D: Guess I should head to bed. I wish you could just pause RL until you wanted to go back!

I love your new HA! I should use golds more often. Yeah, I'm glad the mask is at least functioning correctly! When I view the HA in the wardrobe it's fine, but sharing it makes it look the same as everywhere else. :c Boo.

Not walking/little to no pressure on it will probably help the most tbh, giving it time to heal. But thats hard to ask someone when they've got stuff to do. :( Hopefully with this day off and extension, it'll give you time to heal up and rest! ^^ Speaking of rest....1 AM?!?! GO TO BED! If i could pause RL and pick it up like a week later just to catch up on all the rest and other little details that would be tremendously helpful. but alas...

Ah, thanks!!! I was going for a more sophisticated type look without frills and dresses xD Thats so weird...I guess its because of everyone trying to use the wardrobe so much this event?? Idk...I feel like some of my layers weren't functioning properly with my last HA too so I'm not sure.

ANYWAY...go to bed!! ;P

hi linn, welcome to jellybean! i'm elliott and it's really nice meeting you n___n how are you doing today?

welcome back! i hope your hiatus treated you well. i don't think we've met before, i'm elliott c: p.s. the links to your pet profiles don't work, they are formatted subeta.net/users/pets/petname but should be subeta.net/pets/petname haha

bc i made a huge mistake getting a dog like her and messed up. due to my (mental) health i'm not capable of taking care of her the way she deserves, and i want to find her someone who can.

^^^ and no not really ;w; but i'll be okay in time. thank you ❤️ i hope you're well? i love your avatar, btw.

the baking feature eludes me tbh, sorry! i haven't opened my kit yet either.
