I'm here to show off the fancy boxcode that Fallon created! Thanks Fallon!

Also, apparently Aventis is being a jerk. We made a bet I thought he would lose and now I have to make a Vlog. Any questions for Vanessa would be great, so please PM them to me.

I really don't have a point to this post but I wanted to say

1. I am so NOT a jerk
2. The blog was fun and informative and Mizahar should thank me if I am truly responsible.

That is all

Mizahar is my best experience. Except for when I lose Bet's and have to make vlogs. Thank you for helping me create a three minute video after more than a few attempts Aventis. I really relished the experience. XD

I'm showing off the template Gossamer made for me. Why? Mainly because I'm good at showing off. XD

So recently I've visited my other sites. And something occurred to me. Does anyone else get the feeling they did something wrong when they get new PMs? XD I look up, I have a pm and I think, "What did I do this time?"

by **Gossamer** on February 15th, 2015, 8:34 pm

I'm glad you like it. I plan to make others for you too as I get time. And I do that with my PCs... the PM thing. "What now? Goddammit!"

I get that sometimes when Gossamer whispers me. Especially when she starts with "Have you got a minute?". It reminds me of school teachers who used to say the exact same thing to me before they took me off to the side and scolded me for something.

I'd like to point out I'm yet to have actually been scolded for anything. I just seem to have a bit of a guilty conscience >.>

Goss, I would love that.

Generally I also have a guilty conscious, Shane. I guess I do so many things I expect the worst.

Seriously? It's just a Phase?

So I never mentioned this, but I love to post stories on the internet. I enjoy writing things knowing that others will read them and either give me destructive or constructive criticism. I've been doing this for a very fair amount of time. I enjoy having people leave feedback that tells me to keep at and I ignore the hate comments.

I myself am easily discouraged, so the above is a bit difficult for me. However I manage. There is, above all, something that I hate as a writer. Being a told my writing is just a phase. I don't know how many times I've heard this being said to me and others. It grates my nerves every time I hear it.

You want to know why?

It's because I refuse to think I spend my time thinking up the most creative of stories, the most fun adventures and enjoy doing it, yet it's just something I'll never touch again after a while. If I enjoy something, I'm going to do it continuously. If I like the reactions, I'll keep doing it. If it makes me this happy, how is it just a phase? It's like telling someone what that following their dream is pointless or has no meaning.

I just wanted to get this off my mind, as well as get some opinions on this.

by **Gossamer** on February 15th, 2015, 10:04 pm

I just planted my fists on my hips, cocked one to the side and then gestured rudely when I read this.

When someone says that to again, automatically come back with this..

"Well, some phases last a lifetime. After all, your ________________ has."

The blank being 'bad hair cuts, piss poor attitude, poor choice in men, pension for singing off key, etc.
