The meat here...It ranges in price. You can get some cheap frozen chicken patties for a few dollars, a good bit of ground beef for like five dollars, and a really nice cut of meat from between 10-20 dollars XD

Shiii~
-forgot to save previous avvie and now can't remember its bottom- =o=

Ouch >w<

Sorry Rainy~

Hermes: Hrmph, the only cheap meat here, is that of really low quality, and then the sliced stuff that goes on your bread... (which is usually not very great quality either)
Stuff like fish, ox meat and chicken, is something I only dream of buying right now =_=;
At least my mom promised to pay for the food for my weekend this week since my youngest brother is coming to visit (and she knows I can't afford to pay for more than my own needs, as being a student who has moved out haven't changed since she was young)

Chi: Well unless you control the weather around here don't be ^_^
I mean I'm Danish, I should be a viking and all... but we seem to have gotten weaker over the years :P

-meows sadly and tries to rebuild-

I like free stuff 8)

Ah. Well, fish is fairly good here~ I love it sooo much <3

And not just when people make it not taste like fish.

"I like fish."

"You do?"

"Yup."

"No, you don't. Tell me what goes on your fish."

"Mayonnaise, relish, some lemon juice, pepper, sometimes ketchup..."

"So, you like fish, as long as it doesn't taste like fish? I like plain fish."

"......."

"Yeah."

Silverbleed: Who doesn't?

Hermes: I LOVE FISH!
No matter what goes on it, if I could I'd have fish three times a week, but it's one of the most expensive types of meat you can buy in Denmark... Dx

Well everyone I gtg to my friend Britt's house to hang out.. see ya guys later ;)

It's mid-range here. Beef is fairly expensive, and rare fish is. But, like, simple fish things? Cheap. America is fairly blessed, actually.

I'm on my DSi XL so I get to be in bed as I type this. Also put some water on to boil so I can make noodles.

Hermes: Yes, I noticed when I was there, all your stuff is cheaper than our stuff >_<

Chi: Yush

@ Aiko - Yet people complain about prices XD I think it's all perspective, really. People here have been so blessed for so long, that when things get slightly tougher, they freak out. I know that I will eat my fill today, I will enjoy my food, and I will have enough to drink, and house, and internet, etc., etc. Not everyone can say that, and I make it a point to always remember how blessed I really am.

Well for us fish is 'too expensive' x.x; but then again.. yeah I love fish my mom never ever buys it.. :C

there's a TON of salmon in Seattle. I got so sick of it as a kid because it was a cheap summer grilling meal and we had it a lot.

I can't eat some noodles =(

Lucifer: My parents buy it a lot, but now I moved out and have no money >_>

Hermes: That's a very nice way to view life

The fact that I am, in general, ALIVE, is just beautiful. LIFE is beautiful, and I think everyone would be better off to just realize that. Some horrible shish has gone down in my life, but, you know what? I love my life <3

**snugs Hermes** you have a wonderful outlook on life. =) that is wonderful and to be admired.

-rolls about, rubbing her temples- stupid headache.

Hermes: Impressing
Y'know your point of view on life, is what I fight to have too... since I wanna be a positive person, something I haven't been very good at since I was a child.... but I think I am getting there again...

The positive energy will find you, eventually. Just have to let it in your heart, into your mind, and you will feel a change. I was so moved one day, just gardening, and I had something of an epiphany....

We all have our moments where we can grasp onto the positive and let it take us for a ride like we've never known. We just need to have open minds, open ears, open hearts.

Hermes: Yeah, I am pretty sure this place is good for me. It's the first place in many years where I don't have to be "someone", but just have to be myself, and people accept me.
I tell you, I was almost crying today... and it was because I realized I haven't been me for all these years...

**hugs Aikio** we really do love you for who you are, and I am so glad you realize that. =)

It's a weird feeling, noticing that you barely recognize the person using your mouth, looking in your mirror, but then have to come to terms with who you really are, and wondering if you will ever really know.

BTW, you won't

And it's sad that sometimes when you realize and start being your self pretty much fully, people around you slowly step away and disappear. Of course, you find new people to be with, but there are moments, it really does feel like "heck, do I belong anywhere?". Still, wouldn't want to be anyone else.
Except I wouldn't want to have my vegetativ dystonia flashes. ><

Lucid: Thank you, I really appreciate it

Since I come from a very small society people had always heard stuff about me no matter where I went, so people always expected something of me that I wasn't... and all these years..... I guess I've just been accepting it...
Don't get me wrong, I've always been fighting back by not doing what they told me to do, but I still let them think those things about me, because I thought I was fine alone..

Hermes: true, no one, not even yourself have the final answer to that.
Also because even if we are being true to ourself, every experience in life changes us...

I've learned the hard way to just be myself...Sometimes, all the faking, all the masking, all the little lies and such...they pile on top of you, and eventually, they crush you.

The truth is a very light burden to carry, once you stop thinking of it as such a bad thing.

Hermes: Yeah
But when I look back at the person I used to be, it almost scares me to death.
I mean I was a shell, a pretty emo-ish shell, but nothing more than a shell of negative and depressive feelings, and hate towards everyone else, because I thought everyone else hated me..

Learn to let the love flow, Aiko. It's hard at first, but it becomes so easy. Once you learn the ways of it, you can use positive things to your advantage, and to better those around you.

Hermes: Well I will try my best, especially now when I am at a place where there's actually room for me to try my best

Aiko after while, you won't HAVE to try. I love my life, and I love the world I live it in. I love the nature around me, I love the people, I love the other animals, etc.

The world is such an amazing, wondrous, beautiful place. It's just hard to see if you let the fog roll in. You need to clear the path. Eventually, love, we are all called to follow our own path. Where it leads you will be a mystery, and you will face many challenges, but it is so worth it.

I was never really "someone else", I just used to tone my self down immensely, to the point I rarely spoke up about what I thought and felt.

Hermes: That sounds really good :3

I feel much better for having eaten those noodles. Found out I had a jar of roasted garlic parmesean noodle sauce, so they were quite tasty.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I was going to post and be all like, hey guys, I'm back, what's up? And then I saw your location, Hermes. <3 <3 *squishes* You're so sweet ^^ *cuddles you*

It IS really good XD

I mean, yes, there ARE rough patches, and I just recently went through...some..really bad stuff... BUT, I puled through, and am still happy, and loving, and I didn't fall to it. I rode through the fog, and came back to the path. There are always bad times, that is a constant. BUT, there are also always good times.

It is your decision what you choose to focus on.

*snuggles Sakura* Heya lovey~ <3333
