Knoxlysia X hiiiiiiiii kayla! is the fact im not active right now a bad thing? im currently on vacation in florida, and got a new laptop from ym grand parents on tuesday. biggrin i ish HAPPY! 
Awesome smile
Feel free to be unactive all you want for the momentary time being. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being inactive on Gaia when you have cool s**t going on in your real life like vacations & palm tees & rich generous grandparents. However, I of course expect you to not be inactive for an extended period of time.

angelfromdown-under elyzia angelfromdown-under Do i have your permission to smack stupid users heads together?? On another note...i really need to quit smoking. Problem is i have like no motivation to do so sweatdrop ELYZIA SAYS;
Of course.
Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to quit smoking if you aren't motivated to do so. However, you're clearly motivated to quit smoking to some degree or another, based solely on the fact that you recognize that you should quit & that you would like to quit.
How much do you smoke a day, & how long have you been smoking for? I'm down to smoking about 30-40 smokes a week (sometimes more, sometimes less ) i was smoking a 40 pack every two days. I've been smoking since i was 12 so like 7 and a half years or so (on and off) I am slowly getting there i just can't seem to get rid of them completely xD
Oh mannn, you remind me so much of me in regards to smoking & all. I started smoking "casually" when I was 12, then started smoking habitually [i.e. , addictively] when I was 13. So even though I'm only 20 I've basically been smoking for just as long as you have.
You know, though, even though you haven't quit smoking fully, it sounds like the hardest, most annoying part of quitting you either already went through or just avoided [if you just cut down your smoking really steadily & slowly, I'm sure you avoided it, smart girl]. If you smoke 35 cigarettes a week on average, you know that's only about five cigarettes per day. If I were you, the way I'd proceed is to let yourself keep smoking about five cigarettes a day for a few months -- or, if you've already only been smoking approx. five cigs a day for longer than a few months than you can ******** the whole "wait a few months first" thing -- & then basically quit "cold-turkey" from there. Because, if your body is only used to smoking five cigarettes a day, the amount of nicotine your body is consuming per day is really not enough to make you really addicted to it at all, & you can almost certainly go from smoking five cigarettes a day to no cigarettes a day & experience little to no nicotine withdrawal, which obviously means a LOT. Since you seem not like FULLY committed to quitting smoking PERMANENTLY, & since you apparently are like me & are able to just like slowly cut down the amount you smoke & stuff, I'd definitely recommend that when you decide to quit, instead of being dedicated to quitting "cold turkery", since that's just so unappealing & scary, you instead make some rule for yourself like, "I will only smoke when someone offers me a cigarette" or "I won't buy them anymore" or "I won't smoke more than 7 cigarettes a week" or something.
Many smokers aren't able to go from being smokers to smoking casually/every once in a while, but it sounds like you're the kind of person who can, so I think that's what you should aim for smile

I'm thinking i'll quit with him and then we have each other for support ^_^

Awesome; congrats! xD
Gaaah, even all ya'll Gaia friends I have are starting to get all responsible & work-focused & their priorities straight!
Am I the only one 'round here who has their priorities totally wrong & ******** loves it? Financial gain barely makes my priorities list at all. I guess that makes me a, well, ideal idealist, & a very irresponsible, childish, short-sighted person [who also comes from a family with lots of money] =X

Psssh, hey, Miss BlacVamp, I have a present for you xD Some person who's a definite "reg" in Burn... I can't remember their user name, but I know they're the same person who did the whole interview with me that I believe is still posted in the main forum... PMed me like 10 days ago & told me she wanted to practice her skills with drawing "couples avatar art" or whatever, so to help her get the experience she wanted as well as to do something nice for someone awesome -- that someone being YOU -- I had her draw this whee

lmfaooo, I'm doing things in reverse: I'm drinking [& have been drinking], & THEN I'm going out, haha. .. &, yes, it's 12:30 AM here & I still plan on going out later tonight; I operate on an odd time schedule.
