I hope your midterms go well! We'll miss you! ^_^

LOL OMG you're adorable.

Do we know when we'll be able to get a second strain?

Congrats on the flower achievement! Did you collect them all or buy some? I'm not even at 100 collected! I might have to buy some to finish.

I have the healing/hive mind one.

Hey everyone :) Did everyone see the new achievements? As if we didn't have to get enough hearts :P

HEY YOU! I'm glad there are new achievs! But yes... now I need SO many hearts! How are you?! How goes the condo hunt?

Hi! Yep, nice to have something to work on for sure. But the collectables being 25+ tokens each each is sucking up a lot of hearts, so I'm not sure I'll finish.

Condo hunt is going. There's just not much on the market, and so it's an exercise in frustration at the moment, just waiting for something I like to come along.

How have you been? It's been awhile since I've caught up with everyone around here :)

I'm still working on getting items from past years, so some of the achievements (like the eating the feelings one) will have to wait <_< Cool avatar, by the way!

I'm excited about this creepy ant virus. I used to love ants as a kid. I'd watch them all the time and protect them from my family, haha.

Oh, I went with an old one! I really wanted the Blistering Hearts skin, and I got it fairly quickly because of bites ^^ I'm also happy cuz I can see what the new stains look like and pick from them once I'm reading for a new virus. The cocoon stage is hilarious to me.

Oh yeah, which achievements are you working on right now?

Thanks! It kinda looked better before the virus :P Speaking on which, what one is that you have? It looks kind of cool. I need to decide which others to collect next.

Not a good buyers market right now, huh?

Things are good with me! Nathan and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary last night!

I got the items for Sight for Sore Eyes but it hasn't given the achievement to me yet. I'm going to do Roses are Red next, since I want those items anyways! I was on the fence for the nightgowns, but I might get them for the Oh-La-La achievement once I get the items I really want.

I think it looks cool wish the viruses! I like the weird body horror stuff the progression does so I'm a little biased, lol. I have Blistering Hearts from a few years ago. I really wanted the skeleton skin, so I went with it first, and then I can pick from the new strands once this one is done hehe.

Not a good market for buyers at all. Sellers on the other hand are making bank. So if you have property to sell, now is the time haha.

Oh that's exciting! 5 years is a long time. Is everything still going good at work, too?

You may have to go to the achievements section, and click view all items to collect. I got the one, so I'm pretty sure it's active. If that doesn't work, you should send in a ticket.

I feel the same about the nightgowns. I was only planning on getting one colour, until the achievement. Now I'll get the all for the achievement, but save that for last.

Ah, I actually have blistering hearts, I didn't even recognize it! I like doing one random mystery illness first - it's fun to see it unravel. But it's definitely way more practical to get ones you actually like first.

Shoot. Well in spring I know that a lot of people end up moving, so there should be more for you in a month or two! Things at work are pretty good, yeah! My front desk staff are giving me a bit of a headache and grief, but other than that its' great!

Exactly. Now I'm pretty much waiting until spring and hoping for the best. Sales pick up from about March, so I'm crossing my fingers. I've seen a few I liked but there's always been issues from financing to shady builders to too fast of a turn around. So I'm hopeful something is out there!

Nice, glad to hear you've finally found a place where you're happy (even if some coworkers are a pain) :)

I'm glad too xD

Anything else going on other than the condo hunt? Seeing anyone? Work is good?

Nothing terribly exciting. It kinda feels like life is on hold while I sort this living situation stuff out. It's taking up all my free time seeing places, etc.

I am approaching my 1 year anniversary at work though, and still really loving it. I feel so much more upbeat about where my life is headed than a year ago - it wasn't that long ago I was dreading going into work every day and desperately looking for another job all day!

PS you pinged me in another thread, where you were talking to someone else haha ;)

Fair enough! I feel like free time is SO scarce now that I'm actually working full time, haha! I can't believe it's been a year! I feel like we just went through you hunting for new work!

I did?! Whooooooops.

sneaks in Hello~!! I got all of the newer ones, thankfully I had some extra hearts left over from last year so it was easier to buy everything I needed. Do you know if the zombie or L'amour 's shop will have a second-wave of items (like they do with the Vesnali shop?)

I know right? The last year has flown by! Technically, it's more like 10 months, but yeah, it seems like not very long ago. And that was around the same time you changed jobs, too.

It's so true, now that I'm going into work full-time, no more 'working' from home, aka sleeping in and doing the bare minimum, it feels like I have zero free time compared to what I used to. But I actually love my boss and my job now, so I enjoy work, which makes a huge difference. I will get back about 2 hrs each day in commuting when I finally move downtown, though.

No big to me, but I thought you'd like to know why the other person isn't responding! :P

Hi! Nice, I had a ton of extra tokens from last year, and ended up buying old wearables for filling my wardrobe, which I now regret haha.

Usually the l'amour doesn't have a second wave, if I remember right - the second/third wave thing tends to happen more for Vesnali and Masquerade. The zombie den sometimes does a 2nd wave (I think, don't quote me! :P), but they did release quite a lot from the start, so I'm kinda betting no on that one too.

I had ~1000 hearts saved up from last year and even that wasn't enough to buy everything. They go pretty fast X'D Are you working on any achievements?

That's good, more hearts for next year! 😊

Though 20+ point collectables will get you! I'm working on most of the new one with l'amour items. I finished the zombie den ones. Other than that, I'm mostly working on game ones - I finally figured out saheric slide and am starting to work through all of those, as well as and spindles.

I keep forgetting about the saheric slide. But the one of the bigger ones I'm slowly working on is gourmand. Mostly for the u I'm really looking forward to Vesnali since it somehow always has the best wearables, or at least the ones I use the most but it's on the last week of April so it's still pretty far away.
