Title: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 01 July, 2010, 04:14:58 am
I would like to know how you are all doing, and what all has been going on the RPs; anything really, I am interested in anything.

And I will again apologize for not being round... I am done with school, and even though I thought that life would be simpler, I still feel overwhelmed, as well as lacking direction.  But know that I have in no way forgotten about you... still working on characters and such, though what with being overwhelmed, it seems like I get no time to do it... hmm.

Well, I still plan to come back, hopefully sometime soon... hopefully I will be worth it.  I have never felt that I was any good, or creative, or anything.

Will be nice talking with yous though.

Hell David, it is nice to see you. :3  *hguggles you*

Same here! [huggles back] What've you been up to?


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 09:40:14 am
Oh, not much at all. :/  Until a couple of weeks ago I was busting ass with school, but then I graduated, so that eased up my schedule.  Now, I've just been working around the house, keeping things in order and finishing some unfinished projects.  Also been giving thought to my various writing projects, though it feels like I haven't had much time for that. :/

Managed to beat the chore that is Xenosaga 2 though... that was nice to remove from my plate.

How about you David? :3


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 09:44:51 am
I've been good. I finished school recently, and I applied to college. Just waiting for word from them now. Other than that, not much of importance.


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 09:46:43 am
What kinda classes will you be taking in college? :3

And man, th urge to RP with those free characters of yours is strong... and I feel like a douche not doin' it. :(


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 09:52:05 am
I'm taking computing courses.

And don't worry about it; you've only just returned. Sit down, relax, have a cup of tea maybe.


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 09:58:27 am
Computing courses hm?  What my boyfriend has been taking. :3  What kind do you plan on taking (I know nothing about them, but I assume there are various types... I assume :3 )?

Thank you, I will have that cup of tea. :3  Iced Tea, as it is damn hot here.

Speaking of RPing, Eric may change some, but I don't believe that I will do anything major before consulting you, as is the polite way to do things. :3


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 10:03:10 am
I'm taking the most basic course; I'll work my way up from there.

[hands j00 a cup of Ice Tea]

That sounds interesting. WHat do you have in mind, if you don't mind me asking?


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 10:06:10 am
I see. :3  I hope you do good in that, and I am sure that you will. :3

Thank you. :3  *drinks* Ah... best summer drink ever. :3

Did you edit that last part of your post, or did my brain register it wrong? (just asking because I do not want it to be the second  option)


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 10:07:43 am
Thank you. I hope your boyfriend does well too. :)

^_^

I edited it; I didn't like my wording.


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 10:17:09 am
Thankees. :3  He better do well if he wants to be my sugar daddy. :3  ...Actually, I am not really sure what that term means...

:3  What drinks do ya like?

Ah, alright. :3 *wipes sweat off forehead* Anyways, nothing grand yet, but the backstory will be redone, and his appearance and personality will be a little different (might keep his fairy form, there is a reason completely irrelevant to the RP for it, not sure).  Basically, the big decision right now is to either keep him the same character, or make another character that is similar to him.  The reason why this question comes up is because, something I have probably brought up before but never actually worked on, is that having characters attached to an unstable story makes them unstable.  So, in a way I want to... liberate, them.  But at the same time I do not want to get rid of them.  But also at the same time I don't want to disrespect them by doing some sorta crap job. :/

So, I am still wondering what to do.  Might create a whole new, much simplr, story for this RP in particular.

Though then the characters would appear in two stories... not sure if they would have that. :/  Hmm...


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 10:22:05 am
...I hope he isn't an actual sugar daddy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_daddy).

I mostly like soft drinks, like Coke or Irn Bru, or fruit juice. Cold, refreshing drinks.

I see... that's a pretty big issue. Well, they're your characters. Whatever you choose to do, I'll support it.


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 10:28:16 am
The candy? :3

How is Irn Bru?  One of those things I have heard of but never tried... have a shirt with a design based of their design, though.

Thank you. :3  I just did not want to make changes without giving you a head's up.  I will need to do some deep meditating to contemplate this issue...

How is Mecha anyways?  Feel bad leaving her to herself like this.  Same with Nara, really. 


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 10:31:37 am
Eh... no... <_<;

It's one of the most common and popular drinks here. I'm aware it's not as popular outside of Scotland, but it's difficult to imagine anywhere not knowing it...

Take all the time you need.

He's fine; come to think of it I've not done a lot with him. ...not done a lot with most of my characters, now that I think of it. o_O


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 10:36:46 am
Really, then what? :/  I was linked to a series of links, and I didn't kow which one...

Oh, I bet no one would know about it here. :/  I generally do not drink soda, but I really wanna try it... maybe if I poke around at some of those import stores... been meaning to anyways, wanna find myself some brown sauce, which is impossible to find here.  Heinz 57 sauces?  More like 4.

Thank you. :3

And why is that?  Not like I have done much myself.


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 10:39:30 am
To quote the top of the page: "Sugar daddy is a slang term for a rich man who offers money or gifts to a less rich younger person, usually female, in return for companionship or sexual favours."

I didn't even know it was available outside of Scotland. Where do you live, btw?

You're welcome. ^_^

I dunno. I've used them, but I've not done anything major recently...


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 10:45:11 am
*smacks self for not seeing* So dumb am I.  Anyways... that is about what I meant. :3

I live relatively close to hell, in Southern Califnronia.  And anything is available in this country, if you know where to look. :3  Specially in California, sadly.

:3 *huggles*

I see. :/  Well, I know you know what yu are doin'.  :3  And if you do do anything major, I would probably want to be involved anyways. :3


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 10:47:47 am
Ah, I see...

Oh right... do you not like it there?

[huggles back]

I'll be sure to contact you, then. ^_^


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 10:50:34 am
Worry not, I was jokin'. :3

Eh... not really.  It is not great, most of the people are just bad people... also to hot.  And gay marriage got banned in the state.  America disappoints me with this...

Thankees. :3  Hopefully I will meditate my answer soon.


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 10:52:28 am
Phew...

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that.

You're welcome. ^_^ Oh, before I forget, can I ask you something?


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 10:56:47 am
Heh. :3

And it's alright... at least it isn't Texas, where my boyfriend is currently staying.  They are trying to make gay sex (or at least anal sex) a felony (I am sure the federal gov. will step in to curb that); it's already a minor offense there. :/  They also want to offcially make American English the offcial language of Texas, which just sounds... dumb.

Yes, you can. :3


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 11:00:07 am
...I don't know much about American politics (or politics in general), but things like that make me question humanity.

I'm making movelists of the various TIA characters. May I have permission to do some of your characters?


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 11:05:01 am
The bigger problem is a certain sort of Christians really, in this case; they think they should have control over how American runs, even though there is seperation of church and state (which Texas is trying to leave out of there text book, replacing it with text about how god/Christianity inspired the founding fathers or some such bs).

I have been wondering about you asking me; which character(s) do you have in mind?


Title: Re: Check up time

Hah, welcome to my life. At least you don't have to live here.

And keep in mind, Texas is terrible. They're the most conservative, right-wing, bible-thumping ones out there.

Religion + Politics = Disaster. It just becomes a bunch of intolerant bigots claiming to hold the "divine truth of how to live" from a book that was written by man.

Those people are idiots. Christ himself stated that ALL people are his children, and that he loves everyone equally.

I'm not really sure, tbh.

Exactly. I'm not exactly a very religious person, but I was raised Catholic, and do respect some of the values they tried to teach us. The Bible tells us to "love thy neighbor." No become a bunch of hate-spewing bigots. That's almost the exactly opposite of what it tries to teach.

I'm just glad I live up north more, in which people can be a bit moer accepting. Albeit, there are still those people out there, it's just not as bad.

God, I really hate this country sometimes.

Well put, but there is worse than Texas.  Oh, much worse.

...The enormous Mormon compound that is, Utah. *eerie music*

And I guess they see that as a typo David. :/  Also, one can argue against every point where homosexuality is supposably brought up in the Bible...

And I see. :/  Well, I would prefer you to hold off for the time being.  Not that I do not want you to, I would really like it if you did, but the whole unstable character thing makes it a bit difficult for me to imagine it. :/  So, hows about we say yes, but a little later on? :3


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 11:15:19 am
Oh, just because I am worked up, another thing that pisses me off; it is illegal for gay men to give blood if they have had anal sex since 1977 (I believe was the year) becaus of the whole HIV thing.

Which is total bullshit.  No to point fingers, but blacks are the biggest group with it, and gays aren't even second, so why are we being treated like this?


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Davidk92 on 02 July, 2010, 11:19:13 am
Agaranok, why did you edit my post?


Anyway, I'll leave the movelists until later then. This is why I always ask permission before doing anyone. :3


[sighes] Am I naive for just wanting a world without this kind of hate and prejudice?

Wait, did I do that? I'm totally sorry, I must have clicked "modify" instead of "quote."

My apologies, I do that on accident at times.


Title: Re: Check up time
Post by: Dusty Starr on 02 July, 2010, 11:25:57 am
Alright. :3  I look forward to seeing them once my mess is sorted into a smaller mess.

And yes and no; I think that most people want that, and honestly it is a really simple thing that would take like, no work at all... but people love to hate.  And that sickens me...

And where do you live Aggy?

And even if you do live away from it, there are still those trapped within those walls of hate and bigotry, which is unacceptable. v_v
