It's ridiculous now (like the whole gaia economy is messed up) xD within the first week of rejoining, I was able to make enough money to buy everything from the regular NPC shops but the marketplace? Oh dear makers...things are reaching to the bil's and tril's now (no thanks to them raising the cap and pushing deals down your throats, every day, from the cash shop) otl.

(And don't get me started on neopets - its like how Gaia used to be with making money, now almost twice as bad - and their editing of words in neomails, holy cow is it bad). xD Like common words, can now be considered 'bad' words (I blame the neopets roleplaying community for that though).

XD;; Ahhh--to sum it up, its basically..you designing a character (like you would normally for a book or movie or such) and having them interact with other characters. There's various types of roleplay (formats like script and lit) and types of verses (like themed verses, such as pokemon, digimon, generalized fantasy, etc) and various ways to write up a profile/character sheet too. //does lazy hand wave// Cosplay can be incorporated into roleplay as well, but that is referred to as LARP'ing (live-action-role-playing). //if you want a better explanation, try asking around in the roleplay forums of subeta xD;

, No problem!

That sounds really fun! To say the truth, I'm not sure if I could play with someone else (too competitive xD). On another note, you're certainly brave for playing horror games. I would probably be huddled in a corner after a session with even one of those games. >.<; Also, I totally understand what you're saying about school (I'm in the same boat). My relationship with homework (if any) is like oil and water. Seriously, it really is a pain sometimes. Especially when it piles up (like now). In fact I should probably do some work right now, but instead here I am fooling around on this awesome site. :/ Oh well. So don't be too embarrassed. ^^

Oh my, those drawings are really old and bad I have not updated my pet profiles in a while.

, Yeah, but in the long run all the little things don't matter as long as you and your friends have fun, right? Besides, you can always just watch them lose. xD

Yes, that would be a smart move. Even so, despite being with others, I would probably scream. And playing at night, with the volume up would definitely equal little to no sleep. But the adrenaline one gets from those games would help...probably. >.<

No problem, but hey, it makes me feel a bit better that someone else has these sorts of problems (although I hope you make it through)! :) That is so true though about the workload these days. Especially once the internet came around. Despite it's usefulness, the internet can also just give some people an excuse not to give an assignment half the effort it needs. Because of that, teachers are becoming more aware and trying to find programs that can detect plagiarism, and/or finding work that requires more insight than just one click on some random site. As a result, it affects the whole student community, regardless of what age or grade they're in. It really is a struggle. :( Even though I do understand they're reasoning, it still sucks though. In terms of studying, I am just tying up some loose ends here and there with some basic subjects (such as math mainly (hate it!)). But the ones I have an easier time with are advanced literature and history courses. But what about you?

Wow nice HA! Well done!

Well, there was this night... my niece slept over and we thought she loves to try new things out, so we let her play the horror game outlast The atmosphere of our living room was not scary, all the lights were still on and my parents were just a couple of feet away from us. She walked in some kind of room and there was this jump scare, but -oh my- she made me more afraid that night than that whole game ever did. She was screaming like crazy xD I do not know about my neighbours but my parents got worried. She probably did not sleep a lot that night, lol, oops, trying to entertain and take good care of our niece, failed

Ahw, let us support each other in these difficult times, hehe I mainly dislike math because of the teachers, it is like they are selected for being this boring ... and there is a lot of math in my education, but... I am a bit obsessed in calculations (no idea where that obsession came from). I like to calculate relations, interactions, correlations, predictions and sorts And cool ! History does sound really interesting! Unfortunately, I know very (very!) little about history in general, but I like to know so many things! For example how certain inventions were made or how the community was Are you doing these courses because you have a specific job in your mind or only to enrich your knowledge? Advanced literature and history do sound like a pretty good combination for teaching or writing/journalism. I am doing something completely else, I am studying animal science (as my major) specialized in animal nutrition and behaviour and a minor in animal ecology.

, Thanks, your HA looks pretty good too! ^.^

Ha ha, it always takes another person to freak everyone out. xD I guess that was one night your niece wouldn't forget!

Yes, let's do that, because when it comes to school affairs, we all need support, and support is good. ;) Having boring teachers is a bummer isn't it (whispersit's like they were born with it)? But boring or not, if the teacher showed the content matter in a way that "connected" with the students, then perhaps learning something wouldn't be such a struggle, regardless of what subject was being taught. But then again, in the end it probably all depends on what type of student/teacher is in the classroom. ^^; That is an interesting obsession ( obsessions come from the most random of places don't they?). Wish I could calculate like that. And yes, history is actually pretty interesting! To me, it's a passion really. History (in my mind anyway) is like one big puzzle, and every day we find one or two small "pieces", even if it might never be "completed". But that's what makes it so interesting! On another note, it is always fun to learn new things! For the time being, I am just taking various courses to not only enrich my knowledge, but to see what career I should pursue. So far, I have found a tie between education and criminology. Animal science and animal ecology sounds pretty interesting! Though animals in general is fascinating on its own. What are these courses like?

Awh thank you

Lol xD Indeed, teaching method is so important for students to remember what is being taught some teachers use different methods in one course trying to reach every student. By for example giving lectures AND practical assignments AND group assignments, while grading exams, presentations and reports instead of giving just lectures and grade exams. I think that is a really smart thing to do and I love these courses really much ! How do they teach at your school/university?

Choosing the right study is always a hard thing to do if you are not sure what you want to become in my opinion . I just got lucky that I could do some research in animal science which got my interest a few years ago. These courses are great, teachers are so nice and always willing to help you . They want you to actively participate in discussions, treat you with full respect, love it when you give your ideas and hope to learn from their students as well . Most of the courses are about animals physiology, containing a lot of biology, chemistry and maths. Some courses are more aimed on behaviour including neurological and endocrinological proceses. But there is always some link with animal welfare and management . Animal ecology teaches you foraging paths, feeding strategies, trade offs, interaction between and within species and that sorts. What things do you do in your free time?

, You're welcome!

Yes, in the end it all depends on the method of teaching. It could either result in being effective or a negative to a student. But if the teacher even takes the extra effort to try then it could prove to be very beneficial to both teacher and student. In the school I go to, that is what they do, try to adjust to the student's needs, regardless of how hard it might be, as long as the student reaches their goal and graduates. It is really nice.

That is very true. It does make things considerably harder to choose a subject if the person hasn't settled on some form of future profession. :/ To me, I think broadening ones horizon a bit can really help, because that less likely place might be where one can find their dream. Having a little luck's always a good thing! :) It's definitely easier if there are nice teachers to guide you too along the way. Whoa, that really sounds quite interesting! You are probably going to become an expert on animals in no time!

Some of the hobbies I like to do when there is time is read, play video games, write, internet surf, and take long walks, especially if it's with my dog. ^^ What do you like to do in your spare time?

So great that they are trying to improve the teaching method at your school as well , that must be really labour-intensive for teachers to make so many adjustments (no wonder they complain that they get underpaid). You must like your school very much?

Have you ever had internships? So you can sniff around what suits you ? I wanted to be a veterinarian for pet animals at first, but I thought that would be too monotonous after I have worked there during some holidays as a para veterinarian . Then I thought it might be more challenging to study veterinarian for farm animals instead . After an internal internship with sheep’s for a few weeks I realized that I might be a bit too small to handle cattle . I am almost the same length as the height of a cow and I weigh about a tenfold less than a cow , scary actually . A year ago I did a small experiment (in sacco) for some course and I had to open a lid of a cannula (see picture) so that we eventually could measure cows digestion of different feed stuff. It seems easy to open, but it is pretty heavy since it is vacuum closed (probably by all these gasses/liquids). My teacher saw me struggling to get that lid open and he helped me and told me I am a bit too small to use my strength properly

I am not the only one who agrees that working with cattle or other farm animals is not the best option for me hahaha xD Besides I rather observe animals and do some laboratory stuff than handling them on a daily basis. I really want to be an expert but I prefer some distance.

Dogs can be so cute I understand you like to walk with them. What kind of things/books do you read? What do you write about? I gave up reading as a hobby a long time ago, I read slow, see blurry when reading a lot of text and it sometimes even gets me nauseous when reading for too long, weird right ? I keep it by scanning the text or reading short messages like the posts on subeta The literature research/writing part of my thesis is a real drama. Let me tell you a secret, but shhhht , I mostly read the abstract and when I see something useful I look it up in the article .

During the week I go to the university by bike (trip of 45 minutes) because I really love to cycle , I go to the gym 2-3 times with two friends following an amazing program which takes one hour , I cook dinner multiple times a week and doing some subeta when I get home. In the weekends I spend almost all of my time with my sisters, occasionally also with a friend, we mostly go out for a walk, go shopping, doing some exercises, baking stuff, playing games and we also watch a lot of tv series together with my mom (sometimes 7 episodes straight xD). When I get the chance I do my other hobbies as well like spending time with my (mothers) rabbits , going out for a swim, visiting my grandmother, making photo's outside , dinning with friends, going to the beach for a walk, going to shop for clothes, hang out with friends I do not see so often and more.

, Yes, the teacher's efforts to compromise with the students to improve themselves academically really is a big step forward in the educational world. Unfortunately not enough schools have adopted that technique. And because my school is one of those few that have done so is one of the many reasons I love my school. <3

No I have not, though I have thought about it. But I have planned to do some volunteer work at some local places to see if anything would fit. Wow, being a veterinarian (especially for farm animals) sounds a lot harder than I thought. Yikes, being small and weak (compared to a cow does sound scary! And having to do all of that stuff in-between does not help. But then again field work isn't for some people as desk work isn't for others. Besides, observance and laboratory skills are just as important. And performing those duties from a distance doesn't hurt too much either.

Yes, dogs really can be cute at times. Especially when they get into trouble. xD But I love them all the same. <3 I like to read a lot of different kinds of books, though I have found myself drawn to Mysteries, Fantasies, and Classics in particular. As for the sort of things I write, well most of is fanfiction, but the other stuff can be just about anything, depending on my mood at the time. Sadly, I've slacked on both hobbies a bit lately, though hopefully that is only temporary. And it's not weird to get sick after reading for a long time, because the way I see it, as long as you read in moderation, it will keep the story fresh the next time you read it. Besides, binge-reading isn't exactly the best idea (I've probably lost part of my eyesight because of it). And post reading on subeta is pretty addictive huh? >.< Aww, literature research/writing always sucks no matter how you look at it. Don't worry, my lips are sealed, I do the same thing too. ;)

Ahh, biking is so much fun! Looks like you get a lot of exercise (unlike me, the vampire xD). And you're pretty close to your family aren't you, which is pretty nice. For hobbies, your plate sure is full isn't it? But they sound like a lot of fun too!

I know a few schools having bad management (teachers and other staff) and causing trouble by students . Like one of my sisters, she needed some assignment to be graded, but the teacher thought it was inadequate so she had to redo it. But that teacher did not explain what was wrong and since my sisters followed the instructions precisely she did not understand what went wrong. When she hand in the assignment for a second time she got critics like she had no understanding of science . Which in my opinion was absolutely not true since I wrote/read many scientific reports at my school and checking my sisters assignment made me doubt the knowledge of her teacher. Eventually this whole situation around one assignment delayed my sisters study by nearly 1.5 years . It turned out that the teacher was mistaken herself in the definition of some study in which she meant a study without manipulation while she wrote down a study which may contain manipulation. She never admitted her mistake, clearly at my sisters cost, though she improved the study guide .

Great idea to do some volunteer work, do you have anything in mind yet?

Lol, in what kind of trouble did your dogs get?

Do you put your fanfiction stories online? And where do you write your fanfictions about? I sometimes do not want certain movies or tv series to end, because I enjoy them too much . I understand that fanfiction could be an ideal way to extend such stories, I think I would have read fanfictions if I felt more comfortable with reading xD It is really sad that you probably lost part of your eyesight because binge-reading how terrible! Knowing myself, if I like something really much I cannot stop easily so binge-reading should not be a surprise if I get that chance. Like I said before, I sometimes watch 7 episodes in a row of certain tv series, so it is very likely that I would do the same when reading xD Though some people do not have any trouble in watching one episode per day or so, but I just cannot

I once was at this point where exercise was worse than having no exercise at all, my work outs were very destructive and I performed them 1.5-2 hours a day for 6-7 days a week almost 2 years straight . Now I have to work out (obviously less extreme) because my body has become very energy efficient since it got out of hand, with the side effect that I am tired almost every day . Fortunately I love to work out, but it is also necessary to maintain my energy balance and meet my nutrition requirements. So do not worry if you have the feeling like you are a vampire, it is sometimes for the best xD I do not think my body will fully recover again, but I try to find my balance and enjoy all of my hobbies very much ! You can definitely describe it as a plate full of fun . And yes, I am close to my family , are you not?

, Oh yeah, I've heard of a few cases as well. This problem has been going on for a long time (too long). Regardless, I feel bad for your sister. It sounds similar to something that happened to my uncle when he was younger. :( To say the truth, I've also had many problems with teachers (and students) myself, so as a result of that, along with being fed up with all of the frustration, pain, and drama, I (finally)switched schools and wound up at the one I attend now (which was the best choice I ever made :D). As of recently, I've heard rumors that it's still going on there. >:( But I hope one day things will get better there, along with other places.

Well, I've thought of volunteering at the museum. And I've already helped out at a daycare a few times. Let's just say taking care of toddlers is not for me. ^^;

Oh, the usual things, getting into the trash, stealing my plush dolls, the list could go on, but my favorite part is that when he knows he's guilty, he tries to give me a cute look to cover it up. Darn dog...>.<

I have a few times, but that was months ago (though I have some things in the works). They can be anything or everything (depending on what my obsession is at the moment). I have that feeling too when I latch on to something I really like. But sometimes, as bad as it sounds, I do want them to end, mainly so I can catch up to them. xD And don't worry, my bad eyesight was going to happen sooner or later (family history). Besides, I might as well make the most of things, right? The same goes with tv. Might as well enjoy them while you have them. Especially if the mood is right then...watch out books/dvds/internet!

Ouch, that doesn't sound too good. Just don't strain yourself, okay? Well then, I guess I will embrace my inner vampire. xD But as long as a person enjoys what they do, nothing really matters in the end. :) Oh, I am VERY family-oriented. Maybe a little too much. Seriously, my family is so close, we go a bit crazy on each other now and then because of it. But then again, most families have a little crazy in them anyways (even more than us, and that's saying something), so it's okay. :3

, yeah, that post was on-spot, wasn't it? And don't worry, you're not interrupting anything. It's always nice to see a new face around! By the way, hello fellow person who understands being shy! If you need help, feel free to ask. The community around here is pretty nice, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. :)

You found the exact good topic to leave a post on! And like mentioned you are not interrupting our conversation at all Besides that would be very wrong of us to take over someone’s topic. If we did not want anyone to join in we would smail each other xD The more people joining in, the better. The hopes I have with this topic is that people who do not come to the boards so often (because they are shy) will start their conversations in here, get more confident about themselves and join in other topics as well. We were chatting about our hobbies plus I am a bit whining about some things I do not agree on haha xD But please feel free to introduce yourself and join in

That is always bad to hear Especially when having so much trouble with multiple schools. I am glad you found your place, it is stupid they did not improve. The frustration, pain and drama was brought by these schools/teachers? I know from stories that people can get really depressed by school giving them a low self-esteem and sorts. I have adhd mainly pronounced in my off behaviour, like I am always distracted, I also always feel the need to do things (I am restless), writing in my agenda during the lessons, seesawing on my chair, etcetera. It seems like I am not paying attention or interest in things/others. Not only does it seems like I am being rude, it makes me very insecure as well (I sometimes have no idea where someone is talking about). Because of my disorder I have always heard from teachers that they think I am dumb (since I rarely respond). Thankfully I now have medicines for it, but I always feel dumb because the way teachers treated me and I am afraid to speak when sharing my knowledge. Again something went wrong by the teachers they should have informed by parents about my behaviour without concluding too fast that it might be my intelligence instead. Well, at least I turned out pretty good, but not thanks to my teachers xD

Hahahaha, working with toddlers seems heavy With your background in history working at a museum sounds like a good match! What kind of museum is it?

Lol, I sometimes wonder what goes through the mind of an animal. He probably succeeds in outrunning his punishment every time he does that look xD

Nice of you to share your stuff to people who are interested! Hahahaha, it does not sound bad, I understand it is sometimes nice to use your own fantasy and want some story to end Can the eyesight be improved by glasses? Unfortunately there are genes we rather do not want to have, but are very inheritable (high probability I will get osteoarthritis, my fingers already hurt more than normal for someone my age xD). But yes, enjoy them now you can, we can only will regret it in the future if we do not do the fun stuff now we can.

Haha thank you, I am doing less exercise than I think I am capable of That you have a good bond with your family is always a pro I feel so bad for people who do not have that. Most of these people say that they do not mind it, but I know family are the few people you can really trust. But then again, my loyalty and trustworthy in people in general has always made me a target for other people to make advantage off Oddly, most of the people I got “friends” with ended up in wanting something from me and ditching me rudely afterwards. I think being “too nice” makes me very weak in society and more reliable to family. Though, I still have got a nice handful of friends left who are not aiming at something other than just friendship

I really enjoy a game with a goal, so I've decided to pump up my pets and my plushie/sticker collection! Then once I understand achievements I'll probably work on those. v.v And once I get Dicey up to snuff I'll probably start battling.

My hobbies include video games, roleplaying, and reading fantasy novels. Right now I'm obsessed with the "Splintered" series by A.G. Howard. >> I have a kitty named Bones, after the Star Trek doctor. And I love Captain America. I'd put a thumbs up emoji here if I knew how to do those. >>

And ofcourse, welcome Maks I just read your profile, you are super new here!! You joined the perfect week to start subeta, because it is vesnali since today try to collect the flowers you find on your screen and give them to someone to earn vesnali coins. Which you can exchange when pressing other currencies in the left side bar (then a bit lower you see vesnali coins), with these coins you can buy amazing stuff. And yes, restocking is an excellent method to gain sP! I love doing it myself as well xD

I am clearly not a book reader, never heard of the splintered series, what is it about?

How old is your kitty? I have got two rabbits (both almost 1 year old), well they are actually my mom her rabbits, since I gave them to her. Hopefully one of them is getting young next week The names of the rabbits are not English (Bruintje and Nijn). –In case someone does not speak Dutch- I think a good translation is “Little Brown” and “Bun” (respectively), the little one is expecting xD My brother named Bruintje (brown colour, small rabbit), but for some reason most people called her Nijntje. One month later we got the second rabbit and to make things less confusing we decided to call him Nijn (without –tje, which is used when something is small and he is not so small).

Yeah, Captain America is great and probably the reason why I love the Avengers as well! I really want to see the movie which is now playing in the cinemas Hopefully soon!

The emoticons used to work, but I think they are trying to fix it. I am using individual images link I use: http://www.symbols-n-emoticons.com/p/facebook-emoticons-list.html

Please do not mind my use in words in this post (or other posts I wrote this late), I did not sleep much last night and it is almost 2:00 in the morning but I wanted to reply before going to bed, haha.

I did, I suppose. The event is awesome, and the items are even MORE awesome. I want so many of them I'm afraid I'll never get them all before its over. @.@ But I'll try, darn it! And I heard rs-ing is good. I just don't know what to RS. v.v

It's an Alice in Wonderland inspired series. Absolutely wonderful, if you're into that sort of thing. Young Adult books are my guilty pleasure. -scuffs foot- My baby Bones is about a year and two months! His birthday is Valentines day. Eheh. <3 I love bunnies too, I'm just not home enough to be able to care for them. ;3; I wanted them when I was small.

He's the BEST. -squeaks a lot- I love him to death. And Chris Evans is just one pretty hunk of man. >>

Ohhhh. Explains a lot. I've seen them around, but I could never figure out how to do it. xD

I hope you sleep well!


Thank you mysterious gift giver!

Yes! During events I search on the boards to participate contests (some people give amazing items away to the winners who gave the most flowers) Check vesnali boards I love it and when I do I do my very best to give as much as I can Plus by giving flowers to another, you gain the vensnali coins yourself as well

You can look at www.subetalodge.org for restock ideas Subetalodge can be very helpful, also when you want to look up certain items (for example if you want to have a cheap nice dress, just sort by price).

Alice in Wonderland is a great story, I think it is great for all ages Most fairy tales are I think, although I sometimes do not understand why some are meant for young people since some stories are pretty rough, especially when you consider it is also meant for children xD But one of my guilty pleasure in that category is definitely Robin Hood the animation movie of Walt Disney, haha.

Ahh how cute, one of my friends has a kitten of that age he is very playful and adorable, unfortunately I am allergic to dogs and cats so I do not interact that much with them. My bunnies are outside in a small barn with a large space where they can run outside and they are together so they do not require so much attention. Only a hug so now and then

Hahahahaha, xD I think he resembles Captain America the best of all prior Captain America actors or other actors I can think of. And his personality is adorable in the movies, innocent yet very tough .

I hope they fix it soon, I really do need my emoticons I seriously cannot without, that is why I “create” them myself but that takes more time

, Yeah, I know. When I left the other school I attended at, I thought I was the only one who had problems. But after hearing other stories that were very similar to mine, it left me with conflicted emotions. First (as bad as it sounds), I felt a bit better that it wasn't me who had problems, but on the other hand it left me even more bitter towards the school system, finally, I felt determination that I should do something to help stop these things from happening to anyone else again. Hmm, having adhd must be really hard for you, especially when it comes to school. I don't have it, but I am very slow at understanding some things, and thus would start to doodle or something (but still listen), which in turn made the teachers (unfortunately) think I lacked motivation and was, well, stupid. They even told me to 'give up'. So as a result, I became quiet, even if I knew something (maybe more), lost self-respect for myself, and became depressed. But now that a few years have passed, and I am older, I am able to stand proud again and look at the past and think that I wasn't stupid and it was my fault, but that I had bad teachers who told me so. And from our conversation, I think that you are a very intelligent and strong individual who can hold themselves very well, regardless of what others think.

Yes, it was a nightmare worse than playing horror games (kidding). xD As for the museum in question, it is which is composed of (mostly) Native American history. They also have information on the early frontier, and have a variety of animals native to the area. And seeing as how I have little knowledge of those subjects, it would give me some deeper insight into the facts, even if it doesn't work out.

Haha, yes, what does go through the mind of an animal indeed? The world will probably never know. Yeah...that furry demon of mind usually does get away with his crimes, but when he doesn't, outside he goes. xD

Well I normally wouldn't, but I guess a nice conversation was what was needed for loose lips. Yeah, the things about fantasies though are just that--fantasies, those lovely things that are hardly tangible. ^^; Yes, I actually do wear glasses. They help a lot. Sometimes they suck though. Oh well, as long as I can see ( yikes, hope osteoarthritis isn't the case) . And yes, better to enjoy what we have, than to take them for granted and regret them later.

Exercise in any form is always a good thing! Yeah, family is one of the best things a person could have. It is really sad that there are people who don't have that same bond. Trust and loyalty are especially vital points to have with the people you care about. I too used to be taken advantage of, but now I am "miss people-hater", to society, whatever that is. Not sure that is much better than being "too nice" though... But for me, having a loving family, and a few close friends are better than anything. <3

, You're welcome! And don't worry, you pinged just right. Even though I've been here a few months, I still am getting the hang of things around here. Especially on the forums is inept at such things. T.T On a more pleasant note, it is nice to meet you too! :D Yeah, the Subeta community is definitely more different than other sites (came from Neopets), but it is worth it. I am glad someone said it too, it really is hard for the more shy and introverted to converse, online and off. v.v

Hahaha I really understand you, like I felt better as well after you told me you also experienced stress because of the amount of homework, deadlines and that you postpone finishing your homework Feels less lonely after someone shares the same story somehow xD

It is just wrong of teachers to immediately think students are stupid only because they do not behave the same as the "normal" student (as if there are no other options). Teachers can be very rude, some teachers told me things like you are not worth doing a bachelor, that I lack empathy for others(!) like I am this selfish person who does not take into account other feelings , they also said that it might be better for me to quit and many more of these things. Since the medicine teachers were positively surprised about me, though, my intelligence, personality, thoughts and feelings did not changed a bit because of it .

Awhhh, so nice of you to say ! I think we have a lot in common and I truly think you are very strong and intelligent yourself . Having been through all of that and still being so optimistic requires a lot of strength, besides your posts seem very thoughtful and honest.

Hahaha, you are not spoiling him to much are you? How old is he actually?

Nice that glasses do help you , I can understand that it is not always pleasant to wear glasses and you relay on them every time you want to read. One of my friends wears glasses and especially when it is cold the glass get foggy or when she is cooking, but she thinks they are very uncomfortable sometimes . But my sister and my mom cannot wear glasses simply because that will not help. My sister her eye muscles are too long and she has lost part of her sight because of that and my mom has one eye which is good for 10% vision (no glass is strong enough to improve that). Though, they can still see enough to function perfectly

Haha, I totally agree, a few friends and family is most important

How are you girls doing on the vesnali event ? Are you getting a lot of flowers/coins already? I joined a contest , my flower count is already 300 xD and I am still searching for more
