So... Yeah...
General | Posted 12 years agoIve been diagnosed with Clinical Depression and Social Anxiety. Ive been put on a pill called Pacxon that apparently helps with both, so I should be feeling better soon I guess
Dear good lord im almost 18 what am I going to do
General | Posted 13 years agoSo yeah, I know im 15 now but im going to be 16 in a couple of months which signifies 2 things:
1. Im almost 18, which is the age of a legal adult
2. I still have NO CLEAR DECISION as to what I actually want to do with the rest of my life
I mean, I have IDEAS, but im indecisive. I really want to be a computer programmer, but I get frustrated when coding doesnt go my way. Ive tried several scripting codes such as Java (the most "user friendly"), Python (which is my favorite but its still hard), Ruby (Oh god do I hate this one), and I even tried working with a little bit of API's (I almost died while attempting the tutorial like no joke). So basically, coding isnt my thing because I cant seem to get a grasp on how its done or how much of the stuff works.
Then I got into thinking, I could follow my lifelong dream of being a Game Designer. But that includes graphic skills (which mine are EXTREMELY poor), Story writing skills (Again, poor), and sadly several other things I dont remember (But there is coding which as previously mentioned, is not for me apparently).
I could be a writer, but due to underdeveloped skills and the fact that, as much as I hate to say it, I wouldnt be able to make a living off of it, its an idea for a side job possibly.
But then I get to thinking, and I realize I have a huge step to take before all of this.
What college am I going to go to to ensure that Ill be able to do one of the above things?
Due to a PSATQ test we took this past December, I have been receiving letters from Colleges, which is great in the fact that I now have more than 1 possible college on my list, but not so great in the fact that I have to choose and be met with the fact that the college of my choice may not accept me due to academic performance. As for my list, its the following from most wanted to least:
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
First on my list for many reasons. It aims mainly at a technology career path, which is what I plan to major in. It also is located in my favorite city, and the weather is nice XD
It has a system that focuses on improving academic performance in many ways, as you are not prompted to choose a major directly and take classes based off of that. It allows you to take any and as many classes as you want, ranging from topic to topic. For first years, the first semester is given a "No pass no show" policy. Any grade that is below a C on the first semester report is not show, which makes it easier to get used to the feel of your classes before shoving tons of work on you.
The thing I love most however, is that MITs most important thing that's necessary when thinking about applying for enrollment, is the applicants Character and Personal Qualities.
The downside, its expensive as hell. On average, it'll run me about 66270 with board costs, Tuition costs, and Textbook costs. Its in Boston Massachusetts, which means Ill have to add the cost of a plane ticket to that, and my current academic progress is in the lowest percentage that they accept undergraduates from (5% of undergraduates annually)
2. Drexel University
They are located in Philadelphia, and I may not have to pay for a dorm, as my grandmother lives in Philadelphia (Id actually rather have a dorm as my grandmother is quite strict, owns a large farm which means that I would be able to work, but it would be a lot which might intervene with academic studies, and I am actually looking forward to, and I will probably regret saying this later, living the college life with a Roommate :I). The good thing is, they accept applicants, though only about 16%, that have GPAs as low as 2.0.
The downside, it is a PRIVATE university, which means that it will also run me basically 57000 for Board, tuition, and Textbooks, and another payment for a plane ticket. Out of 48000 applicants, only 27000 were selected. Thats about half of them. Academic GPAs, your Class Rank, your Rigor of secondary school records, and your Standardized Test Scores are HIGHLY important to them.
NOW
I shall type more out later as I am done and tired for the day. Ive got some more work to get done and a lot of stuff to add to my college folder sadly...

Yup, its that time of the year again
General | Posted 13 years agoAlright, so San Japan is in August, so I have to get started on my stuff already. Yes, that is like 15 years away from now, but believe me, that time goes by too fast and your wondering why your still working on your cosplay at half past midnight the day before.
So here we go, Ive got My main Costume that im going to do which is John Egberts Wise guy suit, mainly because im co-hosting a Homestuck panel again this year so I wanna do it fancy XD
[ http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uq8WKIfMG.....t_Wise_Guy.png ]
Then, weve got a triple tie between God Tier Rufio
[ http://25.media.tumblr.com/2aff4121.....o1_r1_1280.png ]
Death the Kid from Soul Eater
[ http://images.wikia.com/fallout/ima.....th_The_Kid.jpg ]
And then, since ive started playing Borderlands 2 recently, Weve got Zer0, the Assassin
[ http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/_...../6d/Zero01.png ]
Slight problem.
Three days. Four Costumes. I have to dump one, but I dunno who. I cant dump John, Im hosting a panel so thats out. I bought stuff for Rufio recently, so its a maybe. Ive already got most of what I need for Death, but I dont really want to go as him anymore so thats a Maybe. And I REALLY want to do Zer0, but That helmet its going to be a pain to make, so hes iffy depending on if I can get the correct materials, and if I manage to create that stupid helmet in the first place.
More updates to come
[EDIT] Fixed the links if you could not view them, at least I hope I fixed em XD

So yeah, I should be in bed, but im not, cause its 2 am in the morning. Oh well, Ill just take an advil before bed so I dont have a headache in the morning (ive been getting them a lot lately, I dunno why) or body aches (Ive been getting those too for like the past month :X)
So hello, goodbye, I must be sleeping now, I shall speak to whomever is here in the morning and WHY DO AUSTRLKIAN FRIENDS GET ON STEAM RIGHT AS YOU DECIDE TO GO TO BED?
Oh well, no time for Terraria now, sleeps
Goodnight to all you peoples, watch out for my poetry which might be storming its way in
[EDIT 2:16 AM] I JUST NOW FOUND THE NUKE BUTTON
IM SUCH AN IDIOT
I SPENT THE LAST LITERAL HOUR DELETING STUFF AND I JUST NOW FOUND THE NUKE BUTTON
Excuse me while I go lie down and die

General | Posted 13 years agoIve been offline for quite a while........... Well, a really long while. So updates needed? Not really but hey, its what I do anyway.
Summer has been hectic. Weve gotten storms that have been knocking out the internet, flooding the streets, ect. ect.....
Anyway, we got a new router installed which took some time to get set up correctly. Then my computer crashes. Had to send it in to the repair shop. The fan blew out, so we had to get a replacement and its working good as new now.
So Ill be online much more now. Message me on Skype if you so wish, and I will attempt to leave my MSN up and running.
I will also do my best to actually CONTACT people.....
Well, thats it for now. I actually might upload some stuff as soon as summer heat calms down. Oh yeah, San Japan is in less than a month, so I may upload pictures of my costumes when Im finished with them.

Lost Generation
General | Posted 13 years agoMy Favorite Poem of all time
The Lost Generation
By: Jonathan Reed
I’m a part of Lost Generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy”
So in thirty years I’ll tell my children
They are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priority straight because
Work
Is more important than
Family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stay together
But this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
Thirty years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope
And all of this will come true unless we reverse it.

Have you ever tried so hard, just to be told you not good enough to make it?
Have you ever remembered every mistake you made? Every Major and very Stupid Mistakes youve made?
Have you ever remembered when you experienced such agony, that you forgot everything else?

So yeah more writing
General | Posted 13 years agoIm still trying to come up a freaking ending to the retarded story -_-
So yeah, more stories to come of me making different situations. Probably all on the same subject but maybe not. Ill eventually go back and add stuff and Make an ACTUAL story for you guys. Hopefully, It wont be much longer, and I will do my best not to get distracted again.
So yeah, stories to come, Ideas, and A funny dream I had this morning that Im making into a story right now.
A group of children find a building that would be a perfect place for a hideout. They just have to clean it of the infected
Well thats all for now. Hopefully more to come later

Im seriously getting more and more pissed off at this shit
General | Posted 13 years agoI mean, seriously. What the fuck.
So basically, Im in the lunch room and shit. Course, I hug Chris like I usually do, but I hug him even longer cause hes had a bad day/week and all.
So the fucking teacher comes over, and tells us to break it up. Then these douchebags do the worse fucking thing they could.
They Clap
They Fucking Clap
That pissed me off to no extent. What makes it worse?
Nobody did anything.
Absolutely NOTHING to stop this.
Then people fucking joined in.
I swear, I wanted to fucking punch someone in the face.
It was bullshit. Not only that the kids started clapping, but that the teachers who were there, who saw this, who should have stopped it, did NOTHING.
And then people wonder why I have so many enemies.

So I planted a Tree
General | Posted 13 years agoIm happy, I guess XD
Its a Pomegranate Tree, and its supposed to bloom in the spring. Its already got little buds and everything :D
Im so proud of myself. I dont know if its because I planted a tree, or a food source, but its still pretty cool. Im waiting it out and stuff, hoping that I have a greenish thumb so I can grow this. I really dont want it die, but there are a lot of hazards for it :/
I have to keep an eye on it, because a type of butterfly and something called a White Fly are attracted to it. Plus, we have many deer. It says their not really attracted to it, but it could still happen. Then theres the gophers. They occasionally eat the roots. Considering my bad luck, its probably going to be munched on.
The good side is, its drought resistant. Which means that If I forget to water it (probably all the time DX) Then it can survive. It also can survive in temperatures that reach below 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hehe I hope it turns out well XD

Life
General | Posted 13 years agoLife is but a game, and you are the player. In this game, you can do anything, reach anything, be anything. In this world, you can create the tallest skyscrapers, the most complex computers, the deepest holes, the largest farms. In this game, you are the creator, you created the world. Shaped it. Made it into your image. However, you are not alone. Not just the stars. Not just the night. Not just the daylight. You are not alone as a player. You are but a speck. A speck spread out over millions of miles. A speck barely noticeable among the other specks. The other creators. The other players. You are but something that has the power to destroy.
The power to rebuild. The power to imagine. The power to think. The power to control. You are but a single person in a sea full of uncertainty. But yet, you fight. You know you can, so you do. To you, there is no Not's and there is no No's. To you, the world is a game. A battlefield. A farm. A land full of crafting. A land that was created billions of billions of billions of years ago. A land crafted upon which you stand today. A land crafted upon which you were scattered about billions of years before.
You existed in everything. You breathed the air. You tasted the grass. The soil. The water. You absorbed the sunlight. And shrank away from the night. You were all there was. You were but billions of billions of atoms scattered across millions of miles. You were but bits and pieces concealed upon everything put together. You were but a speck upon specks. You were waiting. Waiting for your time to assemble. Waiting for your time to be created. You were there. You breathed. You were inhaled. You were drank. You were eaten. You were admired. The universe watched you. All of you. The bits and pieces, waiting for you to assemble. Finally, your time came.
The other atoms joined. New ones in their place. You were still waiting. Then, Darkness turns to light. You hear sounds. You feel things. You smell smells. And the universe smiles. The universe gets the chance to see you. The universe gets to savor the moment. The universe watches as you grow. As you create. As you imagine. The universe wants to talk to you. It sends a message from a burning star, thousands of light years away. It will not reach you this life, but it will sooner or later. However, your message has become apparent. You sent out messages. You were a messenger. You were a sender. You were the creator. Feelings. Thoughts. All sent by you. Felt by others. Heard by most. Though about by some. Philosophy. Theories. All of them together in a single sentence: "You are the creator. You create. You destroy. You build up again."
The never ending process. Thought. Built. Created. Destroyed. Thought. Built. Created. Destroyed. Over and Over. Cycle repeated. Until, it stops. It doesn't stop entirely. Only for you. For a moment. You sent a final message out to the universe. You. Now a dying star. Your final message is that you heard it. You heard its praise. You heard its love. You heard its message before it reached you. Now, you return the favor. You send out a final message. Then you burn out. The dying star. Millions of Light years away. Yet so close. Your message reaches multiple destinations. Your message touches others. They begin to create. They begin to think. The process moves on. Thought. Build. Created. Destroyed. Thought. Built. Created. Destroyed...
Suddenly, its the same. Your once again an atom. A Single atom waiting to join the others. And the Universe sees you. It wants to tell you its proud. It wants to finally tell you the meaning of life. But it cant. Its a secret that must not be shared. A secret that can only be discovered. It can only been seen inside. As you follow the path of light, you fight the darkness inside you. As you follow the path of Dark, you search for the light inside you. You become confused. You dont know anymore. You fight and fight. And the process breaks.
Thought. Destroy. Thought. Destroy. And the universe smiles. The universe still says its proud. The universe sends you another message. One that you wont receive yet, but soon. All the while, it does the same to the other players. It gives them advice. It tells them its proud. It wants to help, but cannot. So it sends messages. It sees the trouble, and it helps. It cries when its children lose. And it cheers when they complete the game. And for a second. Whether they win or lose. In death. It sees them. It tells them its proud so they can hear. It comforts them so they know its there. Then it tells them the reason. It tells them why they played the game. It tells them why they created. It tells them why they ruled. It shares its information, but its all lost soon.
The atoms depart, searching for a place to settle while it waits. While it waits to be joined again. It waits, still holding the fragments of what the universe told them. It holds close to them. When they are joined again, it puts the pieces back together. It tries to complete the never ending puzzle. Theres always a piece missing. the most important one of all. The ability to know. It retains everything else. It soon repeats the cycle. Think. Build. Create. Destroy. Think. Build. Create. Destroy. Think. Build. Create. Destroy. Think. Build. Create. Destroy. Think. Build. Create. Destroy. Think. Build. Create. Destroy..................
The power to rebuild. The power to imagine. The power to think. The power to control. You are but a single person in a sea full of uncertainty. But yet, you fight. You know you can, so you do. To you, there is no Not's and there is no No's. To you, the world is a game. A battlefield. A farm. A land full of crafting. A land that was created billions of billions of billions of years ago. A land crafted upon which you stand today. A land crafted upon which you were scattered about billions of years before.
You existed in everything. You breathed the air. You tasted the grass. The soil. The water. You absorbed the sunlight. And shrank away from the night. You were all there was. You were but billions of billions of atoms scattered across millions of miles. You were but bits and pieces concealed upon everything put together. You were but a speck upon specks. You were waiting. Waiting for your time to assemble. Waiting for your time to be created. You were there. You breathed. You were inhaled. You were drank. You were eaten. You were admired. The universe watched you. All of you. The bits and pieces, waiting for you to assemble. Finally, your time came.
The other atoms joined. New ones in their place. You were still waiting. Then, Darkness turns to light. You hear sounds. You feel things. You smell smells. And the universe smiles. The universe gets the chance to see you. The universe gets to savor the moment. The universe watches as you grow. As you create. As you imagine. The universe wants to talk to you. It sends a message from a burning star, thousands of light years away. It will not reach you this life, but it will sooner or later. However, your message has become apparent. You sent out messages. You were a messenger. You were a sender. You were the creator. Feelings. Thoughts. All sent by you. Felt by others. Heard by most. Though about by some. Philosophy. Theories. All of them together in a single sentence: "You are the creator. You create. You destroy. You build up again."
The never ending process. Thought. Built. Created. Destroyed. Thought. Built. Created. Destroyed. Over and Over. Cycle repeated. Until, it stops. It doesn't stop entirely. Only for you. For a moment. You sent a final message out to the universe. You. Now a dying star. Your final message is that you heard it. You heard its praise. You heard its love. You heard its message before it reached you. Now, you return the favor. You send out a final message. Then you burn out. The dying star. Millions of Light years away. Yet so close. Your message reaches multiple destinations. Your message touches others. They begin to create. They begin to think. The process moves on. Thought. Build. Created. Destroyed. Thought. Built. Created. Destroyed...

General | Posted 13 years agoI said I would go to bed before 12 today............ Its already 3 XD
Actually.......... Almost 4 DX
This literally happens everyday now. I have to lay off the crafts........... But Im only so far from being done! The Caledscratch is pretty much done, I just have to make the blade sturdier and then paint it up. The Fear No Anvil has to be put together and the handle painted, and then the War-hammer of Zillyhoo has to be painted and put together slightly.........
>_> I have so much to do still thats NOT time wasting and thats actually important.......... Like that speech for Speech that I forgot about. Have to write a 5 minute speech to read to the entire class about Creationism.
I have to talk for 5 minutes. In front of a class. I did a power point presentation that lasted no more than 3 minutes and when I got back to my seat I swear I hyperventilated >_>
So yeah, If you dont see me around once Tuesday hits, I collapsed in front of the class because I had to speak for 5 Minutes........
I plan on writing more in the coming few days as well. I dont know, maybe It will be something that I started and havent really finished (#6 for now http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2952212/ ) or one that I started but never finished.......... WE all know what that one is XD
Ok so now it is about 4 so I have to really go to bed............ I swear, I went back and read that journal about the stories and I was like "Holy Crap............ I came up with these Ideas????"
So yeah, just me being stupidly random agian for no obvious reason.......... Im so jittery for some reason XD
Well thats all. I promise....... For now XD

Oh god
General | Posted 13 years agoSo derping around on Youtube Last night led to a bunch of Homestuck Videos that Me and my sister watched. Eventually, we found one that had Amnesia: The Dark Descent referenced in it and she was all "Whats Amnesia"
So of course, since I didnt want to really explain that game (scares the shit out of me XD) I showed her a video of the gameplay. She freaking WANTS the game now. WHAT THE HELL DX
That game has given me more than a few heart attacks. Now I just stare at its icon saying "Never again" XD

I am only one
General | Posted 14 years ago"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will refuse to do the something that I can do"
Helen Keller
Why is it that all the inspiring quotes are found in the past? Why cant people be what we used to? Back before all these electronics, people would think...... Back before..... When people pretended...... Back when people thought...... Back when people created.
Hehe I guess the main reason for this is inspiration from Fahrenheit 451. Its a really good book, and apparently was banned in other districts. Its stupid really. The book shows what CAN happen. What we shouldn't LET happen. It talks of a future where everyone is all over electronics, and Books are destroyed if found. Where Philosophical thinking is illegal. Where people are happy, but at a price. Where people are destroyed for being different. Where people know others, but at the same time, dont know them.
I find it really interesting...... Others in my class dont. I dont know what it is, but something draws me to this book...... I mean, what if its really going to turn out like that? Not to the point where people are killed almost everyday because of being "Fun and Happy", but to the point where books are rendered useless and thrown out. Books are a way for the writer to reach into a person, and make them think. Its a way to show people that you dont just look and see facts. That in facts, you see lies. In lies, you see truth. In truth, you see yourself. Books are whats needed, Books are whats going to shape the future.
A discussion today popped up. And a question was asked.
"Whats more important, Writers and Authors, or Scientists and Engineers?"
Most kids answered Scientists and Engineers. When asked why, they said that it was important for technology to develop so life would be better. I was the only one in my class who answered otherwise. My answer was simple. People write. People write about the future, and they dream up these crazy contraptions. Authors and Writers of the past must have at sometime written about a Horseless Carriage or our modern day car. They wrote it up first. The scientists and Engineers got it next. Then they though, 'This looks like a good idea!' Then they built. Then they made. Then they advanced off of what was given. All the stuff we have now, the television, the phones, the cars, the planes, everything, was most likely, at one point, in somebodies story way back when people would sit on porches and talk.
Back when..... A time of though processes and actual conversations...... Back when people wouldn't be as rude..... A time when Chivalry actually EXISTED. There are people who exploit it today, but not to the extent of which it used to be.
I sometimes wonder, about the future generation.... About my generation..... Whats it going to be like? They say ignorance is bliss, but some people are too ignorant with all the "Modern Technology" today. I look around school and see kids pull out their Android phones and then their iPhone 4s's that they got their parents to buy them 10 seconds after it came out. I see kids with iPads and iPad 2's. I dont suspect anything amazing will happen. I look at my class, and I see nothing. I see the kids who are smart, but they dont try. I see the kids who are in the bottom percentage, they also dont try. Then theres the few people I know, who will become somebody. Theres this girl in my first period. She is an amazing story writer. She is the best writer in the freshman class, and I have no problems seeing her become a famous author one day. Its no so much that she has imagination, its that she pulls from her personal experiences and she lays them out and says to herself "I can use this for a story, so im going to."
We had a writing prompt. It was "Write a story or narrative about the inner hero in everyone"
She wrote about her family and how they fell apart after her mother died from cancer. She wrote about how she had to pick up the broken pieces and search for the needle in the dark. About how she had to organize the pieces, and with the last strip of thread, sew them back together. By the end of her story, in every class that heard it, there was tears. She displayed it so vividly, so realistically....... Like it all happened in front of us, like we stood by and watched as she did this..... It was very emotional, and she got a very well deserved High 4 on it.
Then theres my friends. One has a passion for music, and could easily join an orchestra. One has a talent with math, and she could become a mathematician. Another with a passion for aerodynamics. Science with her, Microbiology with him......... We all have big dreams, and we stick together. The school had a process in which we disconnect from our closest friends to find new ones. Not the case with us. While most other people lost touch with the other kids from middle school, we stuck together. We still sit together at lunch, and laugh at the things that are funny, and cry at the things that are sad.
I appeared to ramble off subject, so Im going to head back that way now, hopefully at least.
What I mean to say is HOW is this going to turn out? The kdis from the middle school down are rude and mean and cruel. I had gotten on the bus last, which I loathe and hope never happens again. I attempted to sit in the back, but no, apparently everyone there is just........ Gah...... Very disrespectful of others to say the minimal. I then was forced to sit up front, with the smaller kids. Apparently it takes so much fucking effort to move your bags and put them in your lap so the one and only person forced to stand can sit in the apparent "crap seat". ITs also apparently hilarious to the other kids who find it funny that you just got "told" by a 6th grader....................
If thats just the small kids this year, what the hell is going to happen in the near future? I very honestly doubt the world will end in 2012. We "survived" not only 2000, but 2006/6/6 as well. Its not going to happen, especially over the course of one day. People freak out. People worry. Thats what people do. So whats going to happen this December? Is the world really going to be destroyed, or are we just going to destroy ourselves?
I dont know, but the only fact for certain is that I went off topic again XD
Eh, thats all for now I guess. Probably going to post some poetry (I still write it! XD) tonight if I finish it. I guess you could call it more of a song cause It came to mind when I was messing around with different rhythms in my head.
Binary Numbers
General | Posted 14 years agoIt came up in Geometry today, and I was flipping out. Binary numbers are the one thing I could never understand with programming, but our teacher made it so simple XD
For some reason I just find it so interesting
Im working on developing a Fetch Modi for my Sylladex right now, and Hopefully Ill have it done soon (even if its crappy XD) (Sylladex is a Item retrieval system used in Homestuck. Each Sylladex runs off of a Fetch Modi which changes how files are stored and retrieved)
I think I have this down. Its a little confusing but I should be able to manage XD

A disscusion about time travel popped up
General | Posted 14 years agoWhat do you guys think about it? I mean, if Time traveling actually changes the past, what happens? I mean, I think that the people split into two dimensions. Like, they branch out. Theres the world where it happened, but if the past is changed, then it splits into two alternate universes, one where they went into the past and never came back, and then another where the people that went back appear in an alien universe where stuff is different.
Its quite a complicated subject, and people say that the fact that we dont see people from the future popping up and running around is proof enough that Time machines are never created. Is this really the case though? What if were in the universe where people dont pop up? What if instead of creating a time machine like we think, we actually create a machine that jumps from Universe to Universe.
I dont really understand what Im saying ._.

So today
General | Posted 14 years agoI had one of those "Watch what happens in the background" type deals. We were in H-E-B (Texas Grocery Store) and My dad was talking to the employee about the combo deal of the day. It was then that I reached over and grabbed for the coupons, only to have the entire stack (500 or so pages >_>) fall into the combo food (a bunch of fajitas). I freaked out, because as I reached for them, they slipped between the packages. Took me like, 3 minutes to retrieve them, all the while a conversation was taking place. Nobody was the wiser XD
I dont know why that was so scary.........
General | Posted 14 years agoOn the bus today.... Sitting in the back like usual, covering my ears to the phobic remarks...... It...... I dont know how...... But...... A knife ended up in the hands........ It was one the kid next to him used for Agriculture class....... I was scared.....The worse person possible..... I stopped moving apparently........ My heart rate increased....... I didnt realize my face went pale until the kid I was sitting next to asked me If I needed to bucket in case I threw up....... I....... was scared out of my mind...... It was like a nightmare come true......
So yeah, Before the site goes down
General | Posted 14 years agoIll be on Skype, though probably not all day : Cofagrigus21
