The Hangout....where sanity is overrated.

[Abandoned Dreams]

Since when is Gaia all responsible and s**t? Has anyone else noticed the "Information for Parents" link at the bottom of the page yet?


Ashram - There, there. ( xd ) One time I typed "there" instead of "their" (I was very, very tired) and very nearly cracked my skull on my desk afterward. Psychological testing suggests that people often make typing mistakes on a phonetic basis (there/their/they're) even when they know what's correct.

Ah. Well, keep us posted!


Nyome - It IS your superpower.

ROFL! "Where is Coco Going?" just made me laugh out loud at the excerpt alone. I'll have to look for that at my library next time I work.

I stumbled upon a book called "Hooray for Fish!" and couldn't stop laughing at the title for a week. In a world of such unnecessary complications, it's refreshing to find something so self-explanatory. Plus, the cover is hilarious.

Hmm... I think that "tracing/eyeballing" is fine for practice that is never seen by anyone but the artist. "Referencing" is a bit trickier, because it borders on "researching." People need to realize that "drawing" something does not mean "creating" it. I've actually found art majors who say, "Oh, I never draw anything on my own! I'm impressed that you do!" WTF? You're getting a major in art theft, then?

"Clouds." Got it.

AD>> I don't read over my posts as much as I used to. I guess my "not giving a flip" mood was triggered some time ago, and ever since then its been nothing but exceptance and being their for no a parent reason. surprised

Gaia? Responsible? Hmm surprised

I'm thinking I should give an aptitude test a whirl, just to see what options I'm not considering that would make sense. 3nodding

i loled because i loaded this page before i logged in and in aydee's post about parental information, "s**t" was censored.
oh the irony.

it's kind of saddening that the age level had dropped down so low that we need parental guidance for everything, but it's kind of inevitable in this day and age, i suppose.
although i think i heard in the Q&A that we are listed on a nasty porno site as a prime picking spot for *****. gonk


what was the casino incident? o_o;  

[Iyou]

Yeesh, when did all of that happen? I never even heard of any sort of Casino Incident going on here...

And guh. I know. gonk When you get as many adolescents in the same space, they're bound to be stupid and share information about themselves that they shouldn't share. I'm surprised Gaia doesn't have more of a problem with ***** than other places. (MySpace has gotten a really bad reputation for that, I've heard...)

In other news, I started a guild. :3 It's a place where you can (hopefully) get better critiques on your artwork than from the Picture Post.  

[axel]

oh my. gonk
from a business standpoint, i guess i can see why they would get their feathers ruffled.
but damn.

it's like some kind of genetic makeup, once you're past a certain age, you have to tell EVERYBODY on the internet about yourself. especially if you have a digital camera. xD
yeah, myspace has a huge problem with that. they're on a talkshow at least once a week.
what is frustrating to me is that if they ever successfully shut down myspace, the kids will just do it somewhere else. ;/

iyou, i saw that thread in the AD xD glad to see that it has taken off!


in other news, i am extremely saddened on the lack of any good okami discussion threads ANYWHERE on a site so big as gaia. emo  

[Abandoned Dreams]

ZOMG anyone heard about The Host yet? I have to find someone to drag with me to that..

EDIT: Watch the first trailer, then watched the "extended" at the bottom. Trust me.




Ashram - Aptitude tests... xd That brings back memories of the 8th grade. I think I was supposed to be...a biologist. Or a dictator.


Shiro - Ahh. I think it's fairly obvious now that I really do not venture outside of GASOC where Gaia is concerned. I had no idea that all this ruckus was going on.


axel - xd !! Gaia must be like a candy store for *****! You don't even have to go LOOKING for jailbait! They take it upon themselves to randomly send friend invites and PMs of "omfg lyke will you be my fweind?!" No wonder the admins are worried...

Okami discussion...?


Iyou - Awwww! Your very own guild! heart I'm so proud in a weird, totally inexplicable way. I love the art that was done for the banners and such - they're so professional! I wish you and your guild all the best! whee  

[axel]

aydee: wow,that movie looks awesome! looks like something refreshing to watch instead of that AWFUL TMNT.....thing they're trying to release here soon.

and yeah, just run-of-the-mill okami discussion...i've finished what is i think my 9th playthrough and i was hunting around for some kind of gameplay related thread, as so many other games have here on gaia. gonk
oh well.  

[Abandoned Dreams]

Shiro - Hey. Some of us enjoy being hermits.

axel - 9th playthrough? Holy crap... I've only played once. o.O I started a new game but stopped after an hour because I didn't want to get sick of it.

Nyome - I just got around to watching that youtube thing. I couldn't stop laughing. That's so funny it's alarming, then right back to funny again.  

[axel]

yuh, i have no life. ;3 i spend more time playing video games than i'd like.

is everybody ready for Y2K ALL OVER AGAIN daylight savings time?!?
