That's a good idea! I started out with Sporous. I loved it! I didn't expect to because I don't like bugs, but it took a more tree-like look at the end. I always start Survival off by picking a random new one. I like to be surprised as it progresses.

It makes sense really, since it's called Sporous. By the time that thing was sending pollen around the avatars I became less convinced that that was actually supposed to be a bug on it haha. It might have been a flower and yet another case of bad framing that made it look like a bug, considering that it seemed to be attached to the sprout.

I would probably pick Sporous every year if I thought to read the names beforehand, simply because I'm kind of a nut for the biological aspects of mushrooms. ^^

I was convinced all the pollen was going to make me bloom into a lovely flower. But I'm totally cool with the tree; I love trees lol. I'm infected with Love Bug now, and I think it's the only virus left that I want that I don't have. But maybe Dissolving because it's pretty rad being able to see the insides, and the green color is pretty rad.

Hm, to whoever named it it looks like an ant, to you it looks like a tree, to me it looks like some kind of underwater plant growth kind of thing. They all kind of make sense in their own way.

There are a few I plan on getting, sooner or later, though none I can actually say I really like or want. It seems like all of the skins I like or want are zapper skins. As it is I'm just trying to collect the ones that are even vaguely interesting. If I have time I'll be going for Dissolving/Clusterflux (seriously why are these the names people are choosing?) next too.

Yesss there are quite a few zapper skins I want! I've been trying for the nostalgic one for a long time. I just end up getting a lot of repeats, usually.

Can you get an infection you already had? :o And yeah, it was definitely a nice transformation XD I wasn't digging t he whole wrapped up thing so much XD

How did your romantic evening go btw? Good massage?

Aha, you do seem in your element with survival XD

I was surprised at how nice the new strains are! I didn't much like last years' strains. Like at all. Or the year before D:

Yeah, kissing is a bit boring XD The autorefresh links also don't seem to be working as well as they used to...

I actually have the nostalgic skin, but you would know it's one of the ones I don't want. I tend to keep getting the Dog skin for some reason, as well as Experiment 893. The one I was really hoping to get last year was actually the Discoball skin haha, hopefully I can get it this year~ I have plans for that skin~

Honestly, I'm not a fan of much of any of the zombie strains in general. Some of them are alright, but I would be pretty unlikely to use most of them. My favorites ones are probably the 2014 vial strains, including the one I don't have, so I'm really happy that those are permanent now thanks to this wardrobe update.

That's so funny because I have the disco ball skin! xD I like it, but I've never used it. I made a really pretty HA with Experiment 2795, but I don't quite remember what I used. I have more skins than I remember getting lol. I used to LOVE the nebula skin, but it can be difficult to work with because the eyes are set low on it for some reason.

Really? I really didn't like the vial strains XD I really want the fish scale zapper skin myself! And some of the new ones they released last year. Fingers crossed!

Yeah, I wish there weren't any facial features on most of those skins so you could diversify them better!

Somehow I just knew you'd have the one I wanted hahaha. 2795's a good one, I've used it once too. Ohhh, yeah, that is definitely a problem with the Nebula skin. I kind of wish they didn't add eyes or facial features to any of the skins, really. It definitely limits what you can do with them.

Anyway, I've gotten really tired so I'm probably going to head off after this. I just wanted to get a drawing done.

Good luck! And good night.

I don't think you can get the same strain twice.. I hope not, at least! The massage was actually AWFUL. I'm calling today to complain. It felt like the biggest waste of money ever. I was so upset.

YES! I like some of the eyes, like on the alien type skins, but I wish you could remove them like you can with your regular skin. It would make using them sooo much easier.

Guys I think I'm actually going to buy $20 worth of CSC today. I've never bought this much, so I'm kind of freaking out, even though it's not a big deal loool

Oh no :( I'm so sorry to hear that! What went wrong?

My favorite skin to use is the fawn one, since the facial features are actually adorable!

:o Enjoy spending it!!! I wish you would have bought it yesterday though D: It was bonus week end till tuesday.

I love that one! I've used it quite a bit.

I knowww, ugh. But I sold a complete tv show DVD collection on Ebay today, so I didn't know I would have the extra money yesterday.

Awww, that's so frustrating! Still it'll be worth it :D

I just really really want the scaley skin!!! The HAs that could be made with that...

The scaley ones are fun! I have green snake, red snake, and tan snake. I might have to mess more with zapper skins after Survival.

I think I might bump it up to $25 so I can get the 250 bonus, instead of 100, pretty much allowing me to get one extra CW at some point lol. I don't feel as bad because my DVDs sold for $42, so I'll still have extra, as well.

I forgot about autorefresh! That was super useful during masquerade. Too bad it's not so great for kissing.

Evening everyone! How goes your survival? I'm slowwwly making progress on the new achievements. shakes fist at 30 candy items

I'm there with you. I have like 2 more new survival achievements to get, but the amount of candy hearts I need for them is ridiculous, and I don't even want the items lol

Haha, thanks XD It's a lot of fun. I'm excited to have creepy gross kins for the future.

I know there's a lot of items in the steamwork place that I want. Maybe not as many as there were for Survival, and definitely not as many as for ... Vesnali (is that how you spell it?). Your avatar is looking super cute! Have I ever mentioned my name IRL is Alaina, and sometimes when I keep seeing people replying to you, I think it's my name for a half a second?

What are you going to buy with it?! How much CSC does that give you?

It was just awful. There was no discussion about what she was going to do before we started.. so I expected a full body massage, but only got the back of my legs and my back and chest.. and scalp? But it wasn't even a scalp massage.. she just like played with my hair. It was awful. We also paid for an hour massage and they only gave us 45 minutes. I'm less than impressed.

I'm making good progress toward them too! They're my priority items right now!
