True. I'll pitch that to Professor Scrooge McDuck.
It could be worse. I could have to deal with an April Fool's theme. Also, every rank badge I've seen has snow on it, except for Hippie. Does the sombrero keep the snow off you?
Heck, if it was pizza I'd go even if I wasn't part of the class.
I don't know what you're talking about, that theme was very aesthetic, very demure. Sure, let's go with that. Likely they never thought one of us would reach Hippie, so I feel honored to have surpassed expectations. Finding Friendships
Honestly I think there would be more people from outside the class than the ones actually in it.
I feel like I'm out of the loop on this one. Is this a skibidi thing? That's probably the more accurate assumption.
I know a few, I was there myself since mid-2015. (with the same username)
I'm trying to remember there's this guy with like a blue overalls I think he had dark hair I just can't remember for the life of me Finding Friendships
Doesn't ring any bells for me, but I asked a couple friends of mine who were also active on the gallery and they suspect it's a guy by the name of Baseplater.
Hmm. Bit of a vague description. However, I do recall a user that ran a Mandalorian Clan with specific jobs you could do in the galleries that would be accomplished by showing off your builds with your custom minifigure. He would set a theme and you would build according to that theme for credits to rise up in ranks. The clan colors were gold and blue, but the username and clan title escapes me. I do remember helping them by creating a list of "Star Wars" sounding names, but does anything of this particular memory ring a bell?
Sorry that didn't quite ring any bells I just remember him making a comic where he has the hulk smash Darth Vader underground saying puny sith Finding Friendships
(I've been gone too long again. Got busy again with family and work just like last time. I guess it's only upwards from there. :P_
Lol. It's always the balance of art and user experience. The two seem to clash at times.
(I challenge you to reply to this message by the end of the week. Now I just gotta study up on what makes an individual exciting socially. )
They should arrange an actual clash, I don't think the artists would come out on top, though they'd probably utilize unconventional forms of warfare which would give them a slight boost. Finding Friendships
(I failed lol. Got too caught up in the Labor Day Weekend. Not even I would know how to find that information.
Probably. I wonder if the artists' own user experience of their own design would work against them.
And here I was so sure I inserted more body horror than shipping into my fanfic Lowkey yeah; if you can get your fans hooked on a promise, no matter how hollow it is, they'll stick around. I spent years so certain that they would make Kai and Skyor a real couple on the show. Sure, there's plenty of guys out there. Just pick one of the street or something.
I guess I came away with the wrong impression then. I have no clue what's reality and what's fanfic, but thanks for the info. I might stick to the grocery store checkout line or something, the street seems like the worst place to be looking for good guys. Finding Friendships
Ofc Fair
Is your kid old enough to go trick-or-treating this year?
Haha, gloating is fun. Now I'm off to sail the coasts of the Bahamas with my newfound riches. Toodles. *Starts walking off, only to stop when I shake the money box*
... wait a minute.
*turns around to look at you*
*takes off running, scattering cash behind me as a distraction* Finding Friendships
Yeah, I think that's it; college is a strange realm of being In-Between times of your life.
Well, I- I wanted to feel included. >: (
We should get another one of those to look forward to when we're like 37. Like a scheduled mid-life crisis where you get to rethink your life and career up to that point.

You're onto something. My dad could definitely use something like that rn.
Oh yeah, it would be. I think my writing gears are too rusty to get started now though, not to mention the cobwebs over on MB Stories are so thick that it's probably not worth it. Finding Friendships
Fair. I feel weirdly nostalgic about the fanfics that people would write about each other on the boards. Like - conceptually I find it odd. But being there in the moment and laughing about how each user was depicted was really fun.
Real ones know you develop rock-hard biceps from the blood, sweat, and tears that come from 8am classes 💪
Well...uh...maybe if you're taking a weight-lifting class, sure. But still hope it's more sweat than tears and blood. Finding Friendships
You don't know the half of it... heh....,, that's just a small look into my dark side...,,, if you knew the rest....,,, it would drive you insane....,,,,
Noooo I think I know the one you're referencing xDD Oooh cool! Did you meet him at a con?
It's iconic because it's relatable. He was actually the keynote speaker at a huge college theater festival that my troupe went to! All in all a pretty cool guy. He told the story of how he completely butchered Route 66 on the first season of American Idol and still got runner-up (to Kelly Clarkson)
I've never had an original experience That sounds so cool! lol I love hearing stories from people like that, it always kinda throws you off as you remember "oh yeah, these are real people who have stupid and weird experiences, too"
Do you have peers who do that thing where if the professor doesn't show up for a few minutes they're like "Hey guys we can leave if they don't show up within the first fifteen minutes, I swear it's a real law"?
In high school yeah. In my college experience nobody cares enough to try and claim that, they just leave (or don't show up in the first place.) The TA did start that class because the professor was late though
Ahh, must be a small college thing for me, then. My college really just feels like highschool 2.0 sometimes.
You're all good! It's nice to see your username again. Thank you, I appreciate it.
A lot better! Trying to get interviews and applications sent in for internships felt incredibly stressful, but in between those moments I got to travel a good bit and enjoy my summer thoroughly. I got to hang out with Essa and King, my boyfriend came to visit, and I went to a few parties to see my college friends, so thankfully I was never alone for too long at a time. It was a very good summer. (^w^)
How are you doing? Did you have a good summer?
Thanks, same to you. You're welcome.
Ooh, what kind of internships? Aw, that sounds so fun!! Glad you've had a good summer!!
I'm doing pretty well! I just moved out of my parents' house and half way across the country. I'm staying with my aunt, uncle, and cousins while I look for an apartment. My uncle got me job at UPS, but I had to quit before I even finished training because of health related reasons so now I'm looking for another job, which is stressful. I'm also trying to decide whether or not I should go to film school. It's been a crazy, busy, stressful two weeks, but also really, really exciting. Overall, I'm doing pretty well, and my summer was a lot of fun.
Communication, mainly ones about marketing, graphic design, and media. Though now I'm beginning to suspect my college classes have not prepped me well for the real world... ( >.>') Thanks!
Oh my gosh, that's crazy! I can't imagine how scary that must feel, moving out and looking for an actual, grown-up job..! But I'm also extremely happy for you for doing it. That's no small feat. I really really hope it all works out for you, whether you get a job or go to film school. Do you get along with your relatives? I feel like staying with my relatives can feel pretty iffy and uncomfortable.
Whaaaa that's awesome!! Congrats on graduating!! x3 Do you have a job or internship or something lined up, or are you winging it for now? Either way, I'm super happy for you.
I'll have to rehearse the presentation to you sometime
Tank you! ^^ I'm working a completely non zoo related job right now to save up some money and keep busy, but there's an internship in Tennessee I have my eye on for next spring if I can land it. If not, imma stick with this job and keep looking for other opportunities wherever I can. What about you? I disappeared for a bit again but how have you been, how's life been going? :3
And I would love that actually xD
In Tennessee?? Duuude we could meet up xDD But that's so cool! Is it a zoo-related internship? I hope the job works out well and isn't too stressful.
Oh gosh, I can't remember what last you heard of me... xD Uh, well, I'm going into my senior year of college now, which is very frightening, as I keep having crises where I suddenly have no idea what I want to do with my life and am paralyzed with terror and indecision. But I'm trying to learn the basics of traditional animation while also trying to improve my art style, which the vague plan of one day getting a job on an indie production or something. I'm still helping my friends run our campus's creative writing club, and I'm essentially the secretary who plans stuff, keeps lists of what needs to be done and reminds everyone when there's a meeting and stuff. I'm also beginning a marketing internship this week, which I am very nervous about. I'm trying to balance my school life with my creative hobbies while trying not to freak out every time I remember that I'm going to graduate next year and that I'll never get to romanticize being a student ever again. Despite some of my closest friends having already graduated, I'm really happy where I am and I'm not ready to let go of this phase of my life just yet. ( o,o')
