I'm not that much of value in contests, due to still not understanding the arty editting things If there's writing involved, I'll get you a serious entry this time. ^^ Oh, and buttons still here.

Ok, looks like my buttons back now ^-^

I'd probably make it a rating system, so in the end, it's be the guy with the total score who wins. It's mainly the theme and prizes I'm wondering about...

Actually Kelsey, I'd love it if you joined. Sure, you may have had bad things happen that year, but while you were in it I thought you were going to win! That boss fight you wrote really upped the awesomeness of the entries!

I are sorry chief, next time I'll increase the awesomeness of writing entries even more. (I hope...)

I apologize for double posting, but this has been bogging my mind..

Someone named 'Stolenfayth' is ranked a 'knight' around here, yet I haven't seen such a person active in a really, really long time.

It is due to that, that I suggest we might need to move on to either a new knight, or no knight?

, can't believe you're bothered about that. There are, like, five people still posting here

So, if any knights, shouldn't one of those 5 be the one?

Uh... I'm still here, dudes.

<_<

I can't find anything to post in that interests me (read: I am /not/ getting involved in a religious thread because in my experience that kind of thread just tends to end in fights), made one new thread and that's all I can think of.

Because I have pneumonia again and am on antibiotics. Fun.

I was also outta state for a really, really long time in July and then I had been again in early June.

There's about 7000 reasons I haven't been real super active, regardless. I apologize, but I have been checking in although I haven't been logged in all the time.

Oh, hey, someone still lives ^^

I'd suggest rp's if you'd want to be active, but I cans ee your reasoning, so that's ok.

Oi, what about 'ol Nick? I'd be more active but like Kelsey said, theres not much to post in that interests me. All the Zelda themed RPG's just died off basically.

I don't RP much at all anymore. I dunno why, but I can't be bothered with most of 'em anymore.

Also, the one existing RPG I have, I kept forgetting to post a reply. For five months.

<__________<

So, not really a viable option.

Whenever I've been around, I've seen Kelsey give the place a once-over. So, I know she's keeping a watch.

And I know I've had lots of downtime myself for various reasons.

I know this place is just a once-in-a-while looked at place now compare to what it once was, but if you look at the crew who's here, we're all coming to a rather crucial area in our lives all at the same time. Jobs, more school, life in general. And it's hard for us all to connect when we're all called by life elsewhere. Real life overrules online activity, so it's understandable that ZEJ's in this sort of position.

You got that right. Lets hope that we all (sorry for such a late reply to this lol) will succeed in life one way or the other and try to get here some more if we can.

Gee I still don't have a job now, and I am studying to get my associates. I'm always fighting with my parents. I'm tired of that, why is life getting to this 'boring' point... Any of you guys understand what I mean?

I sure do Neo. I may have a job, but I decided to take a year off of school to save up some cash. I'm arguing and fighting with my parents 24/7. Nothing seems to change, it's just the same old dull daily life...

What're you guys fighting with your parents about? I've never had such constant encounters, really. Any flare up is dealt with in the same day here.

Based on the topic Neo made, sounds like the same thing I fight with my parents about:

They (their parents) are control freaks and it has to be done their way or nobody's way.

It also sounds like you're one of the fortunate people with decent parents, Ryo... I honestly envy you. <_<

Well, parents are the authority of the house. But it sounds like my folks are a bit more open to suggestion and trust. But there's also openness of suggestion and trust on my end, as well for them.

That's the only thing I can think of. Structure and closeness.

There's a certain point where some take that 'authority of the house' thing too far, though, especially with adult kids.

Mine, for example, can't seem to comprehend why I don't like socializing and force me to do it anyways, when I'd rather be reading, writing, drawing, listening to music or something more productive than hanging around and making social chit-chat with a bunch of people I can't stand.

However, because my mother enjoys social chit-chat, that means I /have/ to, or I'm /depressed./ Only thing is, I don't enjoy it. I'm not depressed, and I can be as close to sickeningly happy as I get and I still would rather spend time alone. My parents throw all kind of bullcrap psychological theories at me ('YOU'RE AFRAID OF BEING REJECTED,' 'YOU PUSH PEOPLE AWAY SO THEY CAN'T HURT YOU') but they're reading far too much into it. I prefer my own company, that's it.

As far as structure and closeness... I can't speak for anyone else but those help nothing with me. I prefer lack of structure (no schedules, no planning, let me go my own way on my own time, I'll get there when I get there, etc) and my parents are both very anal about planning and being there EXACTLY on time. I get shouted at if I'm two minutes late, for god's sake, and then get told I'm not allowed to go anywhere because I can't get ready on time. and then the next time comes along and I'm forced to go. Drives me nuts. It's only now that I get a bit of freedom and am allowed to stay out as late as I feel like, but I still have to triple check in with them.

Regarding closeness, I have no desire to be close to either of them anymore. They lost me years ago.

Again, I can't speak for anyone else, but as far as I'm concerned, the only way to fix my family situation involves a shotgun, something to hack things apart and either a lighter and some gasoline or a shovel.

Can we change the subject now, please? Bottom line here is that unfortunately, not every family situation is fixable, no matter what is done, no matter what advice is given and no matter how much therapy is sought.

Yep! I said alot about that in my post in my topic. After I say a few things, I'll change the topic. I'm sure I told Ryo about this before. But, my parents aren't really into open crititism [lol bad spelling] and definetly not open to suggestions. When I try to suggest something, they just pretend like they understand and just do what they want. Also, trust, none at all. For example, directions. I'm better at directions then my parents, and I tell them something, but they insist on asking yet another person for directions, even though we may be a block from out destination.

Wow, I feel the same way! Closeness? Nope! I was also lost, but not sure when exactly. I feel as though I'm just getting more distant every fight we have. And we just had ANOTHER fight yesterday, which is also in my latest post.

Of course, I never tell my parents anything. They'd only just use it against me in an argument to get me mad.

I can't ever fix my situation, I just have to endure it until I get out. I am smart, I know it, and I will find a way. Of course, I will always help when they are in need. But thats it.

Seriously, it happens all the time. Sure, she is stressed with bills and all. But, thats another problem altogether! Ughhhhhhhhh! She has always had stress with bills, but objectively (i'm not sugar coating it!), she let my father whine and get what he wanted. Ok, for example. Lets say, she finally has enough money for the month and food and everything. Bam, my grandfather dies. My father has to go. He tells my mother that he needs the money. He also says "its ok, it'll be fine" as if he knows anything about 'it' being fine. Because of that, my mother had to borrow money from people, a thing she detests. Another thing, we lived in a house which wasn't the best choice, and it probaly made us go down in a pit of doom. Yet, it seems as though my father seemed to whine and whine and whine until he gets what he wants. He whined that we should have gotten the house, and my mother told me that she wasn't really into it. But, she is the type to always say no. She always said no. Sometimes I had to beg on my knees to go to a friends house. But, she let my dad get his way sometime. In a way, she let me down in how I viewed her.

Basically, my father is just a hot-head that doesn't really understand much. He didn't have much education either, not that that is the case. He always thinks he is right, and even though he is sick, I still feel like being RIGHT because he is my father. Its one of those things I have... Like, pride... Yeah, but because he is my father. I can't let him decide everthing in my life, and I have to stand up to him.

Yes, I agree I may myself have faults, for example I may over-analyze my whole family. Plus, I may be objective. I'm also very negative. I'm silly, and goofy. I'm not serious, but when the time comes for being serious, I will be! For example, an emergency. I'm also annoying to people. I don't have that much friends, mostly online. :]


Ok, and to change the topic (sorry kelsey I just had alot on my mind to get off)

Uh, well... Lets talk about... Videogames! Yay.

Eh, don't worry about it, sometimes you just gotta get that off your chest... I understand that all too well.

Anyways, I vote we take this back to the original thread so we stop going MASSIVELY offtopic in the suggestions thread.

As much as I would have loved to jump in and rant, kelsey's right. Were seriosuly off topic.
