It was pretty weird going from uniform so absolutely no dress restrictions. Yay for the freedom to wear booty shorts I'd never wear anyway! I always forget college means university in the US. We have a bunch of different kinds of college. And I meant a 16-18 college, so like the end of high school.

Can't wait for the secret santa theme!

i love bioshock as well. and fallout 4 is amazing! i need more of it.

[small]He's my little buddy. C: Right now he's actually curled up in my lap like a kitty. Lol. I named him after the main character from Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. One of my favorite cartoons. He's got tons of nicknames. Flappy, Flappers, Jackers, Baby Boy. :> Awwh my mom actually wanted to name Flapjack Peanut at first. It was supposed to be her dog but I was sick with the flu and ended up bonding with him. He's helped me get through a lot.[/small]

[small]Which Bioshock is your favorite? :) I think I like 2 the best, but Infinite was amazing as well.[/small]

i haven't played infinite yet (it's on my list of games to play), but i really like 2. the first one is good as well

[small]Ah, it's so good. Glad I didn't go into detail about the story line. ^_^;[/small]

Awh man, I missed signing up for this. My pings have been all weird the last few weeks. This is super awesome though.

If someone doesn't get a thing, let me know and I can send some pretties.

i'm pretty sure i saw a playthrough of it, but i don't remember much lol

yes! fist pump i am ready for this. >:D

YAY! So exciting. Can people post when and what they receive? ^^ Also, will there be two sets of this or more? I wasn't sure how long it's going for. I'm excited nonetheless! :D

Yay! Time to go shopping ^_^

[small]It definitely threw me for a loop, lol. I was mindblown. Seriously one of my favorite video game story lines.[/small]

[small]AWWW YISSSSSS SO READY!! -runs off to rummage WLs-[/small]

from what i remember, the game was pretty mindbreaking lol

is that the cartoon with the boy and the whale? I'm a big fan of Steven Universe, Regular Show and Over the Garden Wall when it comes to CN cartoons :D

Flapjack sounds adorable ;-;

doggos!

very nice! I'm going to go through their WL now :D

[small]Yes yes yes it is! :D And the weird blue guy, Captain K'nuckles.

OMGGG THEY ARE SO CUTE!!![/small]

CLICKY FOR FLAPJACK

CLICKY FOR NABOO

BUDDY i am d e a d he is adorable!! the little paws <3

...I might really, really love dogs

I might also need to watch some, because that name tells me absolutely nothing D: I've watched Gumball though? Honestly, I used to put CN on just before I had to leave for the evening shift during my last internship/job and watched the weirdest stuff, like my secret guilty please of the lego ninja dudes they're ridiculous with terrible acting and cliche plots

omfg those dogs are so cute. i love dogs so much.

[small]Thank you guys! C: He's so little lol. And such a baby.

Ohoh I love Gumball! It's so crazy. Lol. I'm not too familiar with the Ninjas. Captain K'nuckles is like Flapjack's 'best friend'. (on the show lol)[/small]

K'NUCKLES

Sorry I've been MIA for this! The pings and message boards have been weird for me lately. Today is the first time Ive been able to actually see posts to respond. Will you post again when we are ready for the next round of Secret Santas? I'm sad I missed the first round!

/peeks in/ Whoa I've been gone so long, and all my favorite topics are getting locked. ;-;

I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I am back from an incredibly extended and unexpected hiatus!

Ahh, yeah, that's more or less true. It depends on the area and age group. Most people under 20 are actually quite liberal, which is interesting because the population over 35 is much more conservative. In rural areas, you're much more likely to find those racist, sexist, gun-toting conservatives that the south is known for; in big cities like Austin or Dallas, they're less prevalent. I fundamentally disagree with just about everything that sort of person stands for, so I much prefer the cities, aha. It does seem gorgeous! That's sad though. I'm glad they don't force you to go to church! My parents used to; in the last few years, they've pretty much figured out that it's a lost cause and stopped trying. cx Ahh, really? That's awesome! Germany sounds amazing, it's one of those places that I'd absolutely love to live someday. I've actually never had a real tree! They sound really beautiful but we have cats who would chew it up. x3 I guess a fake tree is better than no tree? At least it's a way to display all your ornaments! Aww, puppies are wonderful. n_n I saw them on your other post, they're so cute!! This is my pup, his name is Mikey but we call him Moose a lot. cx

Yeah, it's kinda tough right now with the errors because of the database switch. They're still playing with things to figure out what'll work best; since it's extremely hard to tell without actually testing the changes with the actual workload of the servers, we just kinda have to deal with it for a bit. It'll get better though! Ahh, those sounded cool to me but I never got into Marapets very much and haven't tried FR (though from what I hear, it's a breeding thing?). It does have really cool art though!

Yeah, if you check the gift bragging forum, there's so many anon gifts that go out near the holidays! It's insane and wonderful and makes me love this place a lot. Animals with personality are amazing, and I get attached to them really easily. If I could, I'd probably have like 12 birds and just as many cats and dogs (I don't really have the space for that many right now though, aha). Out of all the animals you've ever had, is there any one that stands out as your favorite? Aww, Flapjack is the cutest name ever!! And they both sound adorable. ❤️ It's awesome that Naboo gets to have her mom around too!

Aha, whoo! cx I like shorts but not crazy short ones, it just gets super warm in the summer here so they're a good thing to have. I don't think the college I'm going to has any real dress restrictions either so I bet a bunch of people show up in pajamas. I don't blame them! cx Ohh, okay! That's interesting, I didn't realize there were different uses of the term. Yeah, college is university here - I graduated high school at 18, so it sounds like it lines up with your college pretty well!

Ahh, really? It looks like it's been that way for a couple people, oddly enough! The site was super uncooperative with me yesterday but I've been lucky enough not to have my pings messed up (that I'm aware of) so I didn't realize that'd happened. I'll have to check with a couple people about if they want to participate (and if so, what rounds they want to be put in for) and will let you know!

Let's save that for when the list's up, just in case! There'll be 3 sets: the one that started on the 4th, one on the 11th, and one on the 18th. It goes until the day after Christmas, since that's the Saturday of that last week. ^_^

Yeah, they've been a little odd for me lately too, but not quite that broken! I'm surprised they've been so awful for some of the user base. I'll ping the group again with the second theme on the 11th, though there might still be time to put you in for this round if you want? It appears there's another person who's had the same issue and a couple more who I haven't heard back from yet that may want to join the event, so I could possibly put you in.

Hey there! Nice to have you back. n_n I remember your username, but not too much else unfortunately; I was rather prone to hiatuses a couple years ago too so I managed not to meet a fair amount of people. Hope everything's alright though! You're back just in time for Lumi, which is always a good thing. ^_^ Everything's getting locked because of a new post limit they announced earlier today! Any thread with more than 5k posts has to be locked and remade in order to lessen the strain on the servers that megathreads (i.e. threads with 80k posts) were causing. Also, would you like to participate in the Secret Santa event? You absolutely don't have to, but there's a couple other people who missed the original deadline for some reason too so I figured since I'm already gonna work out a way to put them in, might as well ask! The original info on it is ">here, and our first theme's been announced already but runs until the 10th, so there'd still be time!
