;3; I'm sorry, hoopy :C *huggles in tightly and just clings* >.> I might not let go nows x3

Btw you might wanna be cautious with where you post ETA
Euskadi Ta Askatasuna is the original ETA, it's a Basque group of "freedom fighters" and they are reason for many terrorist actions in Spain...
So yeah...
Some people might really be offended =_=;

I petted a hummingbird today that stunned itself. Put it outside in a box and it flew off sometime ago. <3 for the hummingbird. Death to the skeeters. I welt up with their bites.

I suppose so but I guess it is covered by your charming-ness. lol

This is the internet we have our own terms and such, and most people who know the acronym ETA know it for edited to add, just like lol is for laugh out loud, or the other usually used ones, it's actually pretty common.
ANYTHING can be taken offensively.
I mean someone dressed up for a comicon type thing as pedobear, giving out candy to children ads a joke and was arrested (they said he was a sex offender, well an ex one but then were all WHOOPS, wrong person)

*ETA* ETA can also mean Electronic Transactions Association

Actually, the original "ETA" is an acronym meaning "Estimated Time of Arrival".

It's been in use since... the dawn of traveling.

hahahaha. yeah. the internet should not be taken as srs bsns.

Wiggles, that's the only definition I ever knew for ETA until today.

Lucifer: I know it's the internet, that's why I am telling you take care, since I know there's people from Spain here too, and it is a really touchy subject :/
And I don't know about you, but I don't want to offend people without a really good reason...

Johnny: It probably hasn't no...
People didn't use that many acronyms in "the dawn of time" And even if they did use ETA as an acronym for that very early it would only be in England....

I loves you o3o *clingglomp* x3


If people get offended when taking things out of context, it's their own fault.
Some people would probably get offended that I'm going around using the name/title of satan, too >3>

Yeah, sorry, I'm not going to pretend a terrorist group owns the acronym "ETA", which has been in use since... god only knows. Since before trains, probably.

I've never even heard of that group. And if people are really stupid enough to think that something that obviously has nothing to do with terrorism is about an obscure terrorist group in Spain, that's... really not my problem.

Lucifer: well if they have no idea what it means, and only know about the ETA group... then it's rather easy to take offence
And I am not saying you shouldn't do anything because as you said, all people can be offended, it just seems smarter to keep away from the too obvious stuff...

Johnny: You know European kids learn about groups like ETA and IRA in school....
And I really don't see why "Because you don't know about it" would ever be a legitimate argument

Aiko, what's your avatar wearing on it's face? It has me curious.

I'll probably stick to it, it's a way to add stuff in when I have, and it's the most well known one instead of like explaining it out before like I added this in after: or similar.. x.x
I picked up the use of ETA through den of demons, a sort of cool BJD (Ball Jointed Doll) form..
Then again I got outbirk from them, but only my mom and I use that one in real life... it's a term for freaking out.. xD it has a history.. it's a fun word..

We should bring outbirk to here *nodnod*

*ETA* >.>;;
Also if anybody takes offense they can ask me about it and I'd explain.

ETA means "Estimated Time of Arrival" in my brain, and just recently "Edited To Add".

I'm not going to change it, and neither should anyone else.

Subject dropped, move on.

@Delirium

Those are "bandages" I think.

They're in Trinkets and Tresses.

Aiko is wearing band-aids. XD

Delirium: bandaids :3
You can buy them in the hair shop... "trinkets and tresses" right?

yep. Bandaids are a trinket.

*rolls*

I've wanted a Ball-Jointed Doll for a several years now, but they're soooooooo expeeeensiiiive.

I'm waiting for them to come to hobby shops here in the US already. I'm sure it'd take the import price down just a notch, and it'd give me a chance to actually look at them/hold them and figure out what kind I really want.

Well there ARE cheaper ones... not as pretty, or as well made byut my MSD sized one, is a bobobie so she was only in the $150 range with a wig and shipping, without those, the base price for her is like $128..
And she's still beautiful to me :3

It's not the best, but my friend did her faceup for me for free.

Two pics of my doll and her doll (on a different body, since she's in Texas)

Lucid: Thought that's what it was called ^_^;

It'd be nice to get to handle the product and really get to see what you want for the custom. Still the price tag, it burns.


Ah, band-aids. I haven't learned the items yet. Does anyone know if there's going to be a 'try it' option for the avatars?

Edit---->

ELF EARS!!!! I love elf ears.

The try-it-on-avatar/base option is on Coda's list of things to implement.

I'm sure it's decently high on the list, since so many people have been asking for it.

Kiriel was the name of the demon main char from Repossessed, so I used that name for her, I found it cute and someone I know says it means Mirror of Souls, so I rather liked it :3

Ah,well I've got time and patience. Good things come to those who wait.

Delirium: I am sure there's gonna be one soon, I mean you can already preview the item like it's on the avatar, now we just need the rest of the avatar behind it ^_^

I want.. a pet snake so badly.. I love them and they're so cuuuteee ;3;

Ball Jointed Dolls kind of creep me out. @ ~ @;;;

Awwh *Kiriel stares into your soul with dead purple eyes* O-O I stareee at yewwww~

Iii... am gonna go off and rest now while playing my.. *cough*downloaded*cough* Erm.. I mean completely... (il)legal copy of Monster Rancher DS >.>;;

Those dolls are awesome, but they're sooo lifelike they freak me out. ><

I want a pet mouse for my avatar. Well that was random.
<3D~~~

I like porcelain dolls :D
Actually have a collection of them (though right now they're on the attic, because I don't want them hurt as long as I don't have a real house to live in where I can put them somewhere safe)

Delirium: I want animal ears like dog or cat to put on my avatar... xD I like them humanoid things

I don't even really know why I like Ball-Jointed Dolls.

I just... do. :U
