Anyway i dunno about activity here tbh, there's only so many things i enjoy talking about related to art tbh. Imo moving all the artists galleries was both a good and bad thing for the forum, on one hand it looks a lot neater and it's easier to navigate now, but on the other a lot of people (from past experiences) only really come here to post their art and look at other peoples
I mean obviously both here and the artist gallery are pretty dead right now :L but i just can't ever really see this place thriving if all it really has to offer are threads like what medium do you prefer and tips on how to use water colours etc. Most people who draw for a hobby these days don't really have a lot of interest in classical art or whatever so that means discussions on artists wont really last as well. I can't think of many long term discussion threads that would really last in like a casual art forum so i don't really know what more activity could bring to the table
I DUNNO, just my opinion. You could probably get more activity in the artist gallery but i dunno if that counts as bringing this place back to life :B
This post is so damning :L But what i mean is the problem before lack of activity is content. No matter how many people we can bring in, they're not gonna stay if all they see are the sort of threads you can only really reply to once
Lol omg you guys let me show you the worst picture of me i've ever had taken 8) It's on my college ID
Spoiler:Spoilering that shit cause it's hideous
The yellow makes me look like i have big liver failure and my septum piercing looks like a moustache. my giant orange eyebags are about double the size of my actual eyes and the orange all around my mouth looks like i've been really messy eating pasta sauce. ALSO they took it before i'd even sat down so i'm in an awkward position where i'm like squatting in the air and my eyes are like half blinking and i have a mouth like butthead from beavis and butthead. AND I HAVE NO CHIN. Also i don't have a bandage on my nose bridge i dunno what that even is
THIS IS SO BAD that picture doesn't even capture how bad it is. It is a flattering picture of my picture. I can't believe i'm posting this on the internet what's wrong with me :L
Chinchillas are awesome. I want one but my mother doesn't allow rodents in the house :B I had to make her compromise and allow a hamster on the basis that it doesn't have a long tail ahah :L
But most of all i really want a rat they're so nice :4 I'm gonna live in a pet store when i'm older
I wasn't really questioning the morality of it, but since you brought it up, a license wouldn't have anything to do with the morality of hunting them. Legality =/= morality.
haha yes i was about to say this. lurl if anything having a hunting license means you're more immoral because you do it often enough to merit getting one :B
Haha chocolate lab, that's like the most boring variation of a boring dog :B I loooooorrrv shiba's though!
I'm a fan of smushy dogs and bullbreeds, so i love things like pugs and bull dogs, but also like english bull terriers and staffordshire bull terriers. I like my dogs to have a massive head ahahah
What was your costume? Just an Asian? hahaha I could have seen that as a bit racist...
You're thinking too hard about it budday, if a person was just wearing like, a cheongsam or a kimono that's still an asian outfit but totally not offensive~
Edit: Oh okay just noticed you thought she meant she went as an asian person :B Okay yeah that'd be bad lul
Took about a day to fix my laptop. I had this problem where it wouldn't let me delete anything because the antivirus that came pre-installed screwed up my laptop. My aunt fixed it
That's backwards.
Ahahah right. Tbh my pa is always fixing my computer 3:
What takes patience? Sorry, kinda slow right now because I just woke up.
I think the better question is why aren't you a fan of Pacman?
Well because he's an iconic figure in the gaming world, you don't need to be keen on the game to like pacman and what he stands for :B And i meant the game takes patience, in the same way that most retro games do. Like gosh getting good at donkey kong takes a ton of patience cause you have to get past that initial feeling of "omg i've died on the first level like 6 times now this is shit"
And i don't dislike pacman, i'm just absolutely shite at it so i don't play it :B Tetris is my retro game of choice, i used to be a genius at it (then i stopped playing lul)
I dunno why, maybe it's because I've gotten older, but I don't care for video games as much anymore. I don't really play online, and I never play by myself unless it's Fallout. My computer is gameless, except for Roller Coaster Tycoon, but that's just because it's the greatest game ever invented.
I'll play some zombies or Halo or some Nintendo if I'm with people, but other than that, free time by myself at home is spent on projects on the computer, chatting with friends, posting on neo, etc etc
In other news, I'm sore for work. And the relaxation videos I'm finding aren't helping. And I refuse to take medicine.
Lorl man the only game i have on my computer is Zoo Tycoon :L But yeah i'm definitely not as into games as i used to be, and it takes a lot more effort for a game to completely hook me than what it used to. Then i feel like even if i am enjoying it, i'll still take like long breaks from playing games pretty regularly. That said, i think it's not all me tbh. Now that games are really being geared towards multiplayer i'm finding it hard to find games i like. I'm a singleplayer kinda gal :L
Also i've noticed types of games dying out. Like point and clicks, and you don't often see good platformers anymore either~
Man, I hardly game anymore myself but I still buy the damn things like as if I do lol.
Oh god it's my weakness ;_; so many games i haven't played sitting on my shelf
Also guys is it just me, or when you know you can hand in draft essays do you like, leave things out where you cba to add them? I just finished writing my psych essay but because i know i have the draft deadline coming up i'm like WELL, i'll leave these parts out they don't matter atm. I left out like two key things lul 3:
Same, I might be addicted to buying them tbh. I guess they're my shoes.
I used to do something like that, except I used to wait until the last possible moment to even start. I especially did it on projects, was like lolnope I have a few weeks left, and then I only had a few hours.
Lorl i'm still kinda bad with shoes :L Such a terrible girl cliché
And yeah rly. That rush of panic you get when you realise something is due in the next day ahah
Because there aren't enough people for lots of posts 3:
And it is a bad thing! I have more than enough pairs of shoes that i can never wear because the colours go with nothing i own :L Also i have a pair that's super hot but i accidentally got in the wrong size, then they stopped selling them so i couldn't exchange and it's so sad that i can only look at them and not wear them :L
Vex the Pirate High school is a bit different in England though isn't it? Don't you guys do it earlier or something?
Yeah, something like that i suppose. We finish highschool at 16, but then we go into college until we're 18 doing pretty much the same thing as you guys. I guess it's just laid out different
I've not seen the series but i remember them doing that in the comics and just being like "BUT SURELY THAT'S A REALLY BAD IDEA WHAT IF THEY GET ZOMBIE INSIDES IN LIKE THEIR EYES OR NOSE OR SOMETHING, OR ACCIDENTALLY EAT IT WHEN IT DRIPS OVER THEIR MOUTH"
or like when it starts raining and washing it off how did it not get in the prior mentioned areas and make them zombies gosh
Actually i can't really remember if they did it above their necks now i think about it, but no trench coats. I guess that's more sensible
And the comics are really good, but i hear they go in a completely different direction with the series. I saw the first episode and enjoyed it, then never bothered to pick it up again aha. I'm so shit at watching things honestly
Everytime i get in a phase to watch animoos i just have to restart my 'to watch' list or it'd be like a decade long. This time i decided i'd be more realistic by only downloading 2 series' :L I'M CURRENTLY WATCHING HYOUKA IT'S GOOD YOU GUYS SHOULD WATCH IT 8) and i don't often say that about an anime so you can trust me (apart from polar bear cafe thats good too)
I couldn't get into D grey man at all. That said, i didn't feel like i had to commit to it since i didn't actually download it so maybe it didn't get a fair chance. The amount of shitty anime i've watched because i feel like once i've downloaded it i really should watch it...
I think i would feel sad if i got an external hard drive only to fill it with anime :4
Oh god yeah i'm all keen and nerdy when it comes to like 80's/early 90's classic movies, but anything thats come out later than about 1997 i probably will have never seen :L (unless it's like disney) That said, i have seen all the way up to paranormal activity 3, only because they're like super must watch with some of my pals :B
My TV has no areal because i just didn't see the need to put one in considering i neverrr watch anything lul >> actually i don't think there is a TV in this house besides my one for video games. Ahaha how shit is that, so primitive :L
2 was the best one. 1 looked like it might have been okay but it went in the wrong direction (the footprints in the talc was just bad). Three has this scene where a ghost pulls the little girls hair above her head and it's funny
Tbh i totally didn't realise they were all related until i watched the third :B
I liked the bit where the girl jumped off that thing and the ghost caught her. That was so sweet i can't believe that that ghost is evil, just a bit spoilt and wants to get his own way :L
ALSO GOSH i keep having arguments today ahaha. Like i argued with this girl at college about sleeping around, then i argued with some other person about young mothers and now i'm having a neo bicker. The problem with me is i don't actually care/only half agree with what i'm saying, it's just people are so holier than thou about everything i just want to argue and be annoying Do you guys ever do that :B Like it's not the subject that's bothering you, it's the attitude of the person saying it so you instantly take the opposite side :L
Lorl it totally was. I kinda wanna see the 4th one though to see where the story's going :B Paranormal Activity for me is totally one of those movies that's reaaaallly bad but you wanna watch it anyway lul >>
How was it? did it live up to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy?
I must know.
I went to see it with my chap the other day, so i'll give you both of our opinions :B
I'm not really a LOTR fan. I don't actively dislike it but i just really couldn't get into it (I really tried aha) so I thought this movie was better :L It wasn't anything i'd call amazing and it was quite slow moving, but it was enjoyable enough. I want to see the next one so i guess i didn't find it that average :L
My chap said it was alright, he enjoyed the references back to the book/LOTR/whatever, but he thought it wasn't as good as LOTR and i got the impression he thought it was a bit average and nothing special. He didn't say as much as that, but i mean, he didn't really say much about it at all (which is unusual when we watch a movie together). If it was shit he would have been very vocal about it though so you can trust that much :B
Speaking of movies, I finally saw Silent Hill. The only part I found scary was the woman bumping into a desk. I really did like the movie. It's one of my favorites now. I like the mood and theme and how the whole plot is executed. <:
The newer one or the first one? See i liked the first one but i felt like with the second one they had no idea what they were doing. It took ages to go anywhere then the ending was so abrupt 3:
