@Anarchist Beauty: Yeah, that;s how they got us. We didn't have family support or family friends (aka my mom didn't have support/a friend and her marriage wasn't all that great (still isn't)) so she was definitely looking for someplace where she could feel she "belonged" it's crazy. And that thing about being chased and stuff too, the big dogs thing, my mom was seriously almost attacked by a dog and we were only out "in service" because they made us feel like you had to do it.

I don't remember being encouraged not to be friends with non witnesses, and most of us went to public school in my area, but they did push that we should all be like best friends because we have to stick together against the evils of the world out there. We can't let satan win! and all that bs.
And I remember at convention (once a year with congregations from all over like 2 states) it was emphasized to be careful with belongings because unlike at your kingdom halls (what they call their churches) anyone could walk in here and you wouldn't know they weren't witnesses and they could steal your stuff or take your kids. Like, okay yeah while that's solid advice for anywhere you are no matter who you are or what you believe in, they really pushed that the other witnesses wouldn't steal from you because "wErE wItNeSsEs"

@Anarchist Beauty: omg xD do you just have like a constant headache from this stuff? xD

@Totalanimefan: I'm still homesick yes, but idk when I'm there I just wanna be back here lol I can't win xD
Not family that I like no lol I live in a fairly large town here in NC lol I'm not that far from Charlotte. (under an hour)
I have a lot of health issues so I don't go out much due to fatigue and such. That's why I have Volta :D (and flight rising xD)

Man what a terrible welcome home ;3;
My best friend just moved out to eastern oregon too and there's been tons of smoke and stuff. Times like this I'm glad I'm not there lol

Fortuneatly the area I grew up in didn't really have any major earthquakes, ironically I felt my first big one here in NC last month rofl

Yeah I definitely prefer hurricanes to things like that or tsunamis or tornadoes. Tornadoes are my biggest fear. They're deadly and sudden and unpredictable Dx

@Totalanimefan: I was 15 when we moved so, parents xD I was all for it at first but I got homesick real quick. I never fit in here. Weather sucks, it's always too hot and humid now, all kinds of crazy bugs, idk I just miss what I was used to.
We moved 11 years ago.
I didn't live in Portland but I was born there and raised in the area (Forest Grove and Hillsboro) My family is still over there too but that's fine lol. It wasn't as expensive as it is now but it was going that way. It's crazy.

Yeah this is like the biggest fire oregon has had that I remember, it's crazy. Maybe in eastern oregon but not where I was from. I mean there's been small ones here or there if there was no rain but usually people were pretty good about not starting fires >.>
My grandma almost had to evacuate but fortunately didn't.

About the only good thing I can say for where I currently live is that it's a weather sweet spot as far as storms, which is good for me because i have bad anxiety and storms trigger that. I'm used to earthquakes not tornadoes, huge thunderstorms, and hurricanes lol

@Totalanimefan: Oh cool :D I'm glad you had a decent trip. I'm originally from Oregon and we did the same thing, drove cross country (I live in NC now) I'd like to maybe someday move back home but it's crazy expensive, and it's not even CA rofl

We went more north on our trip. Hit yellowstone, devil's tower, crazy horse, mt rushmore, site seeing along the way. My kitty was with me thru it all. I miss him so much.

@Totalanimefan: Oh my bad, my cat passed away. It's not a break up

Oh wow, where'd you move from? What brought you to DC? I was there once lol

Posted in Ruby's Logbook - Needs Updating Posted 4 years ago

@Anarchist Beauty: Lol I think it's hilarious that they'd be appalled xD screw them xD they were always mean to me anyway.

Yeah we never really were "believers" lol my mom was going thru some stuff when we joined and I think it helped her thru it at the time, but we realized we weren't religious lol. We're spiritual but don't think we need to belong to a religion to be close to other powers.
Now WE hide from them when they come to the door too xD

Kent:

I know.. I sure miss cuddling and his purr..
Being around other cats sure helps, whether its a friend’s or family’s cat or pet shop’s cats. I actually got a new cat a few months after he passed too. She’s a super clingy cat~ She’s been helpful too. ; w; I’ll always tear up when I think of him though. I believe he had a good long happy life anyway~ Just don’t think about what could’ve been cuz it’s sorta pointless to right..? Think of the good memories~ And what you can do for future kitties in your life. ; w;

I actually helped my grandma get a cat a few days after, I went to look at them at the pet shop just to be close to some, and he ran up and put his paw on the glass like "okay I'm ready to go!" and my grandma had been wanting one, so it worked out. It's been a good distraction at least.
We still have one cat, they were twins from the same litter. It's been really hard on him to be alone. My Oli boy always took care of him too and now he's all by himself. He's been mostly sleeping and snuggling us and meowing for his brother, which is honestly heartbreaking and I tear up every time. Even typing this out. Ugh >.<
God and I was updating my quest thread and my boy passed at the end of July (on my birthday) and the monthly that month was Cheshire Cabaret. And then the very next month was Heartbreak Coffin. If that's not fitting....I just.....OTL

We tried to give him the best life possible. It's hard to get over all the guilt of "what if we had done this/that/this but sooner" ya know? You're right though, it can't be changed now. It's just gonna hurt for a while.

@Totalanimefan: Oh good so I just have 16 years before it stops being this painful xD
Haha yeah sorry for being so depressing lately. It's still pretty fresh.
Have you done anything fun recently? :3

@Anarchist Beauty: Have any funny stories? Like the st patricks cup lol

@Unicorn: I finally got my quest thread updated, minus most wanted for crates and rigs.They're all in the tabs though.
But the event item post is completely up to date.

@dragoness129: Time for a stay-cation? haha

Posted in Late Party Posting Posted 4 years ago

@Unicorn: I forget which items have what sometimes haha

Posted in Late Party Posting Posted 4 years ago

@Unicorn: I wonder if its just for names of the items or if we can search for generic things too. Like if we type in “earrings” I wonder if all the earrings in premium items will show up

Posted in Late Party Posting Posted 4 years ago

@Unicorn: yes! I love the new inventory set up :3 so much easier to find things. Even more so when the search feature comes out :3
