How are you guys doing? c: Sorry I poofed for a few days.

Doing good. I've been awol for a bit cause the show I was in kept me out a lot, but it closed on Sunday so I'm free!! I also started seeing someone recently, so I've been spending weekends at her place <3

I'm so happy for you! <3 I hope the show was a great experience for you too! Though, I certainly understand that feeling of relief when you get your free time back after being a part of something like that! And I hope things are going well with your significant other too! c: <3

The show was wonderful, it was so much fun! The script was hilarious and so were my cast mates, and we had a great run. Got a standing ovation on our last performance! As for my SO, they're both good o//v//o My partner and I have always had an open relationship but until now noone else came along, until I met a really cool girl at a mutual friend's wedding in the summer and we hit it off. We just recently began seeing each other and it's still kind of unofficial, but it's going well and I feel really happy. The two of them met each other last week and get along wonderfully.

That's all so awesome! <3 What was the show about? c: I'm glad things are going well for you (and your significant others too!)! c: It's always really awesome when you find good relationships that make you happy. <3

[edit] Since you were the only one that entered the contests, would you like any of these as a prize? (I can come up with other prizes, if you've either bought these (I lost my list on the yellow diamond one) or aren't interested, and I completely understand if they aren't your thing). <3

HOW COULD ANYONE NOT BE INTERESTED IN THESE? ARE THEY BLIND? (btw, I have a friend who is blind and whenever I say to her, "ARE YOU BLIND?" -- she always replies, "They all look alike to me." ROFL)

Subeta completely wiped my notes section where I keep track of things like bdays -- so I completely understand about being lost without your notes! Note to self -- send friends letters asking for b-days

Wipes drool from face I do already own some of these... so that helps. I won't drown in drool, I'll just make a mess. (Sorry about the puddle on the floor...)

May I please have, if it isn't too much trouble, the messy yellow diamond braid? I have it in other colors, but not in a pastel... wrings drool out of clothing

Again, sorry about the wet floor...

I KNOW, RIGHT? XD I don't know how I ended up with batch extras. <3 The Jeroba strands are an extra I picked up from ShesUniique. c: XD That's too funny. Sounds like something one of my aunts would say. She's really funny, she was born without arms and says some really funny things sometimes... Like, one time she announced to my mom: "Hey Vanessa, I want to be in a bank when it's getting robbed with armed robbers." (Why?) "So I can yell: don't shoot, don't shoot! I'm unarmed!"

Yeah, I hate losing notes! XD I'm trying to be better about it. I really should keep a list in my shop or something (but I'll probably never get around to it). XD

Haha, glad it wasn't too difficult to decide! I'll get the yellow diamond braid sent over to you! c: I really like working with the blonde (but, I'm partial to it because of my female Cullen avatars). XD No problem on the wet floor, it happens. XD

It's a comedic existentialist play about a man who climbs to the 7th storey of a building to jump, but keeps getting interrupted by the strange residents on that floor and pulled into their crazy lives. I got to play the man, and I was on stage the whole time. Quite the endurance test. Especially because on opening night I got sick with a cold that didn't leave until our second to last performance.

That sounds like it would be a really awesome play to be able to see, I can definitely see how the play could be a really funny/fun one. <3 And oh wow, I bet that was a major test of endurance! Congrats on the role and powering through! And I'm glad you're feeling better. c:

I really miss the lot of you -- how have things been going??? I can't individually ping right now but if we've talked before I'm talking to you right now <3

WAY COOL! Glad you made it thru the marathon performance test! What was the show called? Sorry, I am too lazy, er, uh, PRESSED FOR TIME (yeah, that's it -- not lazy at all!) to read back pages and see if it was ever mentioned.

OMG! I think I would LOVE your aunt! She has my kind of sense of humor -- twisted! :D

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this really wonderful prize! It's too bad the site was so incredibly difficult -- no, IMPOSSIBLE! -- to use so others didn't join in the fun. It seems like every time you decide to have a HA contest, the site goes insane and lags and crashes & starts eating things... I must confess that I was nervous about doing ANYTHING in the wardrobe for a while there, too. (So I understand why others didn't risk it.) But to those who brave the dangers of battle go the spoils of war! Is that gloating? Am I allowed to gloat? Should I not do that? So sticking my tongue out at everyone is maybe not such a good idea? Okay. I'll go hide in a corner and do my HAPPYHAPPYJOYJOY dance there. sneaks off

THANK YOU (again) for the really AMAZING PRIZE!

SOOOO not gloating ;)

Hey dear! We've missed you too! <3 Things have been okay on my end. I'm actually happy working at my job right now (which is amazing, after escaping my front desk job at the hotel). How've you been? c:

YES! XD I think so. She's got a twisted sense of humor and a bunch of really funny stories. (Plus, she's just an amazing woman).

YOU'RE SO WELCOME! <3 Haha, you deserve to gloat a bit! Hopefully it encourages others to jump in. c: Though, I know the site was being completely crazy during the event, and I completely understand people not entering. XD (You're very welcome! I'm really glad you like the wig!) <3 <3

I'm so glad your job is better and you're enjoying it! That's great to hear~ <3 Things have been fairly rough on my end, but I'm coping. I keep thinking the worst is behind me and then I get kicked by life again, but yeah. Hoping the awful times end with the year, all tied up nicely with a bow. Unlikely, but optimism is sort of helping? So yeah. Subeta is definitely helping, too~ c: glad I was finally able to come back, especially for the holiday season.

Thanks so much! <3 c: Sorry things are still rough on your end, and I definitely hope they end this year too. send positive vibes your wayI know that feeling well though, and I'm definitely around if you ever need to talk/vent. c: I'm so glad you were able to come back too! Are you missing anything from the past few Subeta holidays? I probably have some extras stashed around. <3

I honestly think this year has been a test and all tests gotta end at some point, so. Holding out hope it's sooner rather than later, whenever that "sooner" may be. I sincerely appreciate the offer of a venting buddy, and may end up taking you up on that sometime <3 (though I hope things stay good on your end and you won't need one, I'm also always here for the same c: )

I missed pretty much the entirety of Fireside, and the first couple days of Lumi (do you know where I could find out the melody items I missed so I can get them later? I can't seem to find a list or anything). I would happily buy any extra Fireside items off of you, though c: Figured I'd just have to give that one up as a wash, considering.

, , , , , , ,

I know all of you sometimes can't resist the occasional CW, so be sure to check out Cullen's shop & ping groups!

Oops! I may have posted this on the wrong thread -- so if I've misdirected people can you get them where they should be? I have NO BRAIN lately & am woefully behind, so I try to multi-task and that always makes things worse... lol

That's a good way to look at it! And I definitely hope that the tough part ends soon for you too! And thank you so much. c: I may take you up on that some time too. XD Things are smooth right now, but knowing my family, things will probably get a bit dicey again at some point.

Subeta Lodge has a list, broken down by day of Melody items, and I think has some spares that I doubt he'll use/wear of at least some of the things. c: I'll give him a poke in a bit and tell him to get on. XD He's napping right now. Oh, don't worry about a payment for the Fireside stuff! I have a TON of extras of a lot of items, and I hoard them to hand them out to my friends who might have missed Fireside. c; So, they're going right towards their intended use. XD I'll send what I have over in gift boxes. <3 I may not have everything, but at least it's a good start. c:

Haha, no problem. I ping you (and them) to the right place. c:

AHHHH YOUR NEW HA IS ADORABLE???? I adore whatever shirt you're wearing omg A semi-sarcastic hurrah for family drama ;^: hope that whatever may come doesn't come for a while, at least <3

.... I have. literally no idea why I didn't think to look on SubetaLodge. I've literally had it open to use the shop lists for themed gift collecting. I'm. WOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH XD and thank you so, so much for the Fireside item help <3 That's really kind of you and I am going to remember this c; mmhmm yes I am~

I live in that house, so I am NOT about to throw stones! lol I have SubetaLodge bookmarked and always forget about it even tho the folder is right on the bar in plain sight!

Don't you wish the ❤ forum feature would work again? It is so much easier that way... Then I wouldn't have to run around telling you and and and how cute y'all are!

It's like it's too useful to remember to use XD

and I am sincerely dismayed that it's broken, because going around and loving everybody's HAs is a favorite passtime of mine (thank youuuuu <3 and literally the same sentiment right back omg)
