Amakai I hear you, Japanese is a complex language, I looked at learning it once, idly. I didn't go to college right out of HS, I waited and worked for a while. Are you working? As for Hindi language which I am studying I do that on my own with a tutor I hired. Sometimes we just watch films and she tells me about the culture and why they do what they do (which was somewhat incomprehensible to me).

Kilala, very nice to meet you! I am Uma. I like your color choice, I actually like black avatars with pops of color too, but I am not good at making them. About the avi contest I understand. What can you do if you don't have the items and there is no dream avatar creator. It's hard to enter a contest. Still I like what you have done with the resources at hand. You made a pretty avatar with not much. The only places I am are Gaia and Zantarni. How did you hear about Tris?

[Amakai]

No not working...can't really find a job OTL and add that to my depression issues makes it hard to be motivated a lot of the time but yea the language is killer. My sister was taking it but she's stopping after this year

Thank you. :) All of your avatars that I've seen so far have been absolutely gorgeous! I absolutely adore the one you're using now. Because I'm such a horrible lurker, and don't really post that often, I find it hard to get up the currency on most sites to get the big huge colorful items that I want. I've been using Gaia on and off for years, and what's kept me afloat is Booty Grab. The forums can be a bit overwhelming and I never seem to find any where to really get into conversation... People overlook and pretty much tend to ignore me when I post. It's actually what's turned me into a lurker... BUT that's totally off topic. >_<' When Crysandrea was in the process of closing down, someone (I wanna say Littl3Chocobo) posted a link in the forums about this being a pretty cool site so I figured I'd check it out while Crys was down. I have to say that this is one of my favorite sites now. I love the fact that you can actually choose the layering of your items. I've never been on a site that lets users do that.

Amakai too bad you have depression, it can make things tough, trust me I know, been there. I look at it like any other medical condition that should be respected as such and treated appropriately. Well I hope that coming on Trisphee provides a little lift and maybe some distraction for you. So are you going to quest anything here?

Kilala you must be a kindred spirit with your talk of layering! It really does make for interesting avatars. I can understand about not having stuff. Is there a particular "look" or item(s) which you would like to have? Oh and as for Gaia I only go there once a day, however, I will always reply to you (once a day *grins*) you are welcome to pop on by my thread Fashion G-mergency, just stalk me, same name as here. Also if you are questing anything there let me know. Well it is really good to see new faces here despite that you don't have much. But if you hang out here you will find people are very generous. Also the commons here are really nice. I have made all or near all common avatars and been pretty satisfied.

[Amakai]

@Uma - I'm not sure. I don't really know any of the items or what they're called so I'm just gonna save up gold or whatever it's called here and slowly buy commons as I go xD since I really don't have anything except token items, crane game items, some special items that must have been given to me cuz I had an account and some of the "free" stuff to make a basic avi xD

[Kilala Mikal]

@Uma: I have a tendency to like the punk-ish, lollita, gothic-y type avatars. My gaian avatar is typically decked out in Nitemare items. It's rare that you see me outside of the Nitemare Bustier. It's the one item I always use (with the exception of right now... >.>). But on here, I still haven't learned the items by name so I'm not sure what all items I'm lookin' for. I liked the fish item that was in Archaic Antiquities, but by the time I saved up the 2,500 au to get it, they removed it from the shop. And I like the Cholmus Item. I've seen some bustiers and corsets that I've liked as well as some wings and hair items. I absolutely LOVE being able to create my own unique hairstyle.

[Umaeril]

Amakai I think that is a good idea, to go for some commons, they are really pretty. Actually I am happy to contribute a little so you can get more. Once you have some nice commons you can decide which monthlies you want to quest for. Some of them are rather inexpensive and look awesome. Also the RIG items are not too costly.

Same with you Kilala, I will help get you going a little. I only joined in May and left for 6 months, I think I said that above, so I don't have a ton of things but I do have some you might like. I have a nightmare bustier at Gaia but I never wear it. That is because I simply and totally adore the Les Freaks corset. It's not on my avi right now but usually it is. I love the way it cinches in the waist unlike any other corset I have found. I like the corsets they have here there is a huge variety and all so cute and flattering.

Otherwise, how are you guys doing, and anyone else who passes by? It is snowing here in Maryland we must have 5" already and it's still going. Really pretty out. We have not had a good snow all winter.

[Kilala Mikal]

OuO I think I just died. All the pretty items! *squees*
>.< Thank you so much!

I'm doing pretty well today. I've got a dentist appointment tomorrow that I'm anxious about. I'm going to a new dentist and I don't know if they're gonna pull my tooth tomorrow, or what all is gonna happen... And I know I've got cavities that they're gonna want to fill... I just don't know if they're gonna just examine me and tell me to come back later, or if they're gonna go all crazy with the drills and pulling. I really dislike the drill... *shudders*
How're you doing today? :D

[Umaeril]

Hi! I'm doing ok, I worked all day and then we had some dinner and have been blathering on. You are very welcome for the stuff, looks great! I liked that skirt just I never wore it. Wow dentist, well, I have dentist issues. I used to not go. Now I go since I really have to and have no choice but I don't like them. I don't blame you for being nervous. I have to go to a new dentist because I am not that fond of my current one and I am nervous about it too. Not sure when I am going to go. Well it won't be as bad as you think it will, it's never that bad. Even the drilling will be over quickly if they need to do it. Can you watch TV (dentist's face always gets in the way though) or have headphones for music there? Do they have nitrous? I am grateful for nitrous, wow!

[Amakai]

Oh my goodness @u@ so many items *flails* Thank you so much Uma!
Is there a guide around here or something that shows all the donation items and their poses? Seeing those would help me out a lot in deciding what ones I'd like to get

[Kilala Mikal]

Thank you! I have to say I've been scouring the shops to find the one missing piece to the outfit I'm wearing right now, I feel like I need something to maybe cover my shoulders. But I really like how it's turned out. I'm gonna give it a couple of days and then I'm gonna use some of the other items to do another outfit. *nod* You made me one happy camper. :D

Oh how I wish I could have nitrous... I'm pregnant right now, so I can only have local anesthetics, and I don't know if I'll be able to keep my insurance after I have my daughter to get the dental work done... But, I definitely need this one tooth gone as soon as possible. It broke when I was pregnant with my son back in 2010, and it's been abscessed a few times this pregnancy... Otherwise, I'd totally put it off until after the baby gets here. And I'm like you, I didn't used to go to the dentist. I wound up on medicaid when I was in high school and had to have 3 root canals one of which took 3 rounds of anesthetics to deaden, so that's my biggest worry, that they won't be able to get me numb before they start working. 'Cause man, that ish hurts soooo much. >_<' Although, thanks for reminding me about my mp3 player. ^_^ I've gotta find it and charge it, but I'll definitely take it with me. *nod*

[Espy]

Here you go.

[Amakai]

Oh thanks Epsy! :D I'll go make up a list for myself >w<

[Espy]

You're welcome. I think the March DIs aren't on that Item Guide yet. If you need me to show you the poses, I might be able to do that.

[Amakai]

There aren't any links for the December 13 DIs either

[Umaeril]

First let me say Amakai I am amazed, you look great! XD I am so glad you like the items. ^__^ I don't like being new places and having nothing much but my wonderful conversations skillz, lol. So anyhow I am glad you were able to find poses you like. Besides the Crane game, what are you doing around here? Do you like conversation threads too?

Thanks Espy for dropping that link! How are you doing? I like your avatar, it has a certain air of happy insouciance. Nice and carefree!

Kilala, good reason for not having nitrous. ^_^ Congrats! So wow, you have a little one and now having another, that is great. I'm not a kid person, like for myself, personally, but am always happy to hear such good news of others. As for the teeth omg I so hear you ahhhh root canals SUCK, holy moly. I have had a few I have to confess. Which is why I now go regularly. But yeah, been there. I was on food stamps out of HS. *nods* Things are better now. I hope the music helps. What are you into?
