Well an idea perhaps is when the skin changes each year, maybe a vote prior to that for colors or Premium and non premium members could take place prior to that with the colors for admins, s.mods, mods and coders not included.
Lime green would be interesting lol. I like the teal though above the pink any day. Pink is a rather forced color to gender or sexual preference that is kind of irritating. I don't mind the 'color' but don't like that people use it the way they do.
I always tend to order the venti caramel mocha coffee if I go or the caramel frappuccino. I don't go too often so when I do it's just delicious. I never hang out in there so I guess I tend to miss the preppy girls. We have a drive thru up here so often that's the option I go.
I picked black. I'm a bit of everything probably. I also wear black a lot though I'm not emo. I just like the color as it is relaxing in some way and looks good on me.
Really, how do you know that? ... Any way, Snape rules and so does Teal. It makes the board even look better.
ooc: Just copy over some of your former testimony and toss in KH2 and some novel stuff if you want and it should be good.
OOC: Axel's portal would fail to take him where he wanted to go. He would be stuck in his room and instead hear a soft laughter of low male voices. Please guys in the Org, make sure to say you are attempting to portal somewhere outside of TWTNW before you move on. There's a reason why you can't leave there just yet. Plotty goodness. Xigbar shrugged. "If that's what you chums want to do, that's your choice. However, I think you should try to use your heads instead of just doing something brash now. I'm telling you dudes that something more is going on and we may need to work together. If you wanna do something else, good luck with that." Xigbar wasn't sure what else to say. If these two weren't going to listen to him, he'd have to speak to Xemnas and hope that others would try to hear because he just had a total feeling things were going to get ugly. Destiny Islands> Riku sighed. "No, it's not a note from Elvis, it's from King Mickey to us. But it's not his words, and seems to be more of a riddle of some sort, Demyx. We're trying to figure it out but it seems to have something to do with Souls and a Soul Crystal and cycle of life. We think someone may be trying to disrupt that pattern." <Twilight Town> DiZ nodded in agreement with Namine's words. "Yes, it would seem someone has been monitoring us all quite a bit though we were unaware. While we were watching and stopping one another, something else loomed in the background. It is that force, whatever it be, which has brought The Organization back to life, and possibly me and Riku Replica, as well as separated you and Roxas from your 'Somebodies'. I do think the Organization is in grave danger. They all except or Roxas were sent back to The World That Never Was. There, I believe they may be harvested...for their Souls, if I am deciphering things correctly. This is why I came to find you and Roxas. Riku Replica's return was not anticipated but it is just as well. You two could also be in great danger since you are also Nobodies. Perhaps the enemy feels it is easier to harvest the Souls from Nobodies since already they possess no Hearts." Twilight Town: Roxas could now arrive at the 'Usual Place' and see inside Hayner, Pence and Olette were sitting on boxes and eating some sea salt ice cream. All three would look up as he entered and stare a moment in surprise, not knowing who he was precisely...but then nod as if some small part of them realized who he was. <Hayner> "..Roxas..right?" <Pence> "Yeah, you're that kid that used to sit on the clock tower all the time and had the cloak." <Olette> "...hi, there. I remember seeing a picture with us in it."
That may be the best thing to do since you don't know what your dad told her either. Hopefully he'll be home tomorrow so you could all talk. Keep cool.
The premiums voted for a new color. Teal is the color. It's blue-green.
Teal is green and blue mixed together. And it looks soOoo much better. Hooray teal!
It's rough to say. How was she acting when you got home? Just being quiet and letting your dad handle the situation? If so, you may want to let things lay low unless she opens up dialog with you but just make sure of course you are fed and such. Don't be too noisy if you can help it. She may want to talk to you or not right now. If you can though I'd suggest trying to talk to your dad when you can and perhaps tomorrow sometime trying to talk to her. If she rebuffs you (blows you off or wants you out of her face) wait for your dad and try to get them both together.
When does your dad come home? Maybe when he gets home all of you can talk and try to work out things. I'm sure he and she probably talked over things while you were gone. He probably sent you to your room to avoid anymore conflicts until he can get home.
Teenage pregnancy is an issue that is all around in European countries as well as America. I agree with TheMuffinMan on that. I do think also that at 15-16 is a good age for both males and females to learn and experience it. I don't really feel at that age it promotes having sex and can even in some ways discourage having unprotected sex because a baby doll crying every few hours is enough to make most people want to not deal with babies until they are ready. I do feel though that young teens should have experience with baby care to some degree, both males and females. I learned from my family since I was the oldest and often had to babysit, which in the end I took a CPR/First Aid class as well and helped watch troubled kids in a rough neighborhood who had not so stable lives. I do think if teens understood more of the responsibility of child care they would not be so likely to be foolish and well, if they did have kids, at least they might know more on caring for them. The dolls though are something that could wait till 15-16 though in say 9th grade. Though there are girls that get pregnant sooner, I think for those ages they need more guidance towards trying to get them to practice safe sex if that's what they are going to do rather than focusing on newborn care.
I hope now you are at your friend's house. I'd go somewhere and call her that isn't at your friend's house so that she doesn't find out where you are unless you want her to know. Some numbers leave call back numbers so if their number is public that may not be a good thing. Find a public phone if you can, probably at McDonalds if that is close. Then call her and tell her that you love her but she needs to read the note and understand you. You can also say you just want to understand her and why everything is so hard right now and that you want to have a family that loves and works together. Tell her you'll come home once she is willing to talk to you and that you both need each other but not like this. You want some solutions because living in this way is really tearing you and her apart. See if that helps at all and keep me posted. Also, be careful out there. If she finds out where you are staying she may call the cops and the friend's parents could get in trouble for holding you there. You may want to go home tomorrow and just try to face her and say that you want to work things out but it's up to her to do. Also, if you do talk to her, I'd suggest you say that either she and you go to family counseling to work things out or that she sits down with you and talks to you and you talk to her so you can try to work things out but you don't feel you want to go home until you have some kind of validation in that. If she does call the cops, you will have to explain to them about what's going on and from there they will give you options. Really, when I said go out for a while I meant merely a few hours. I wasn't thinking you'd actually go somewhere but some people's voices here obviously rang stronger than mine. No matter what happens though, jettie, you are going to have to listen to her sooner or later so I hope that you are ready for that. Things can work out, so keep hanging in there.
No problem. Maybe you can even show them the rules sections of the forums too, so they know how things operate and what is tolerated and what is not. Good luck, Chervalier and I hope things will work out. It may take some strong convincing and time but they may come to see, so don't lose hope.
I agree with you which is pretty much what I was saying. He's depressed and needs to be just told out straight that he's doing the wrong things and if he cannot clean himself up he's not worth the emotional baggage because he's only hurting himself. I do agree that the best idea here is to tell him straight out that he's basically destroying his life and things are only made worse because of his drinking habit which he uses as an escape. The best idea then probably is to get away from the guy and do something else until, if ever, he makes honest attempts to clean up his life. Also, yes, if he's drinking ridiculously, his parents might have a right to know what he's doing. Of course, if he has problems with them, that may not be a good approach but he obviously has to help himself before anyone at all can help him. If he's unwilling to do that and just is going to treat people bad, there are just times in your life you have to let someone follow his path and do what he's going to do. Otherwise he will take you down too. It's a wretched position to be in but he's clearly doing nothing for you to make the friendship meaningful and instead treats you bad and then turns it around as if you are an angel there to save him. You didn't ask for such a responsibility and he needs to understand that his life is his own to make or break himself. I am sorry you are in such a predicament and hope things get better for you, spunk.
Maybe tell them that the forum is for kids and that the board is very monitored to keep it kid friendly as well as for adults. Perhaps try to convince them to respond to a thread here and we'd be glad to talk to them or have them PM a mod or admin here and we could help dissuade their fears. I can understand why they are protective because that's a parent's job to do that. Explaining about the forums could help you out and if you need more help, perhaps getting a mod or admin to talk to them on MSN with you or on here would make them feel that the environment is safe. I wouldn't mind talking to them and I'm sure another mod or Admin would not either. With all the dangers on the internet, they are just being safe so keep that in mind. Secrets aren't always the best way to deal with parents. They will always find out the truth sooner or later so it's better to just be out front.
Guys, don't respond to it unless you post a video or are critiquing one then. This is all spam except the first post since everyone is just saying the same thing over and over. If you aren't going to participate, the thread will naturally fade on its own.
I think it would be best if the teens were in High School but I do think it's a good idea to do. I remember being given an egg I had to take care of for a few days and take everywhere and if it broke I failed that lesson. It was kind of insightful though we also all made fun of each other having to carry the eggs all around and even assign an 'egg sitter' in gym class. I think a baby doll, as weird as it might have seemed to be, probably would have been a better lesson but the egg did the trick. Also, I do think it rather important both boys and girls do it. I'm not sure if I'd think it should be taught before the kid is in high school. That's something I have to think on more. There are quite a few teenage pregnancies that happen before teens reach high school so maybe. I just don't know if the message would hit them as clearly as it does a 15-16 year old. At the same time though, I don't think a babysitting sort of course would be such a bad thing for 13 year olds which might give them an introductory to taking care of babies but not having to have the doll around at all hours. This would help them learn first aid and care so it would be 'something'.
You can try Peter Pan. He can sometimes give more than Stitch's ukulele. I tended to get a lot more coins/orbs from Peter Pan all around and alternated between the two summons.
