@Loony

I had nothing figured out when I left highschool. Yes, most knew what they wanted to do and where they wanted to be but not everyone. You'll be surprised where life takes you after school is done. You'll do fine Loon. I believe in you

@Akayaofthemoon I just...I mean, I know what I want to do, but getting there? Whole different story. And I feel so incredibly unworthy and immature around them...Even though my friends are mostly 12th graders, it's just...I don't feel all that good. I feel really inadequate. More than usual, that is.

On other news, I just thought of something funny.

Please imagine the young gems stumbling upon Cards Against Humanity.

Damn it, I feel like I'm bogging everyone down with my negativity.

@Loony

Loon, I felt the same way. I am an adult and I still feel this way. Age is truly all in the mind. It is hard to image getting to where we wanted to go. It is hard to see years ahead and figure it all out. You can make it though. I know it seems like everything is a mess but just keep doing what you need to do one step at a time and you'll get there

On the side note

That would be hilarious. Even more hilarious would be someone very unlikely winning XD not sure who just the most unlikely kicking but at it with just the most horrible things ever

@Akayaofthemoon

I hope so. I mean, I've always understood that, but now it's just...I don't know. I should just shut up.

On the side note, I think Melanite would be the most unlikely to win. Either her or Amber. Maybe even Soapstone.
I'd say Sodalite and Eve would have the best chances winning, Eve because she's around humans most, Sodalite because she knows the most.

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah I like snakes quite a lot as well, but I'd have trouble feeding them. Honestly I would have trouble feeding any animal that needs to be fed other live animals, as much of a hypocrite as that makes me considering I eat meat.

@Loony Hm, this guy's parrot didn't seem to be too uncomfortable around the snake... and honestly it might not have been a python, it might have just been a boa constrictor. All my 9-year-old brain could process at the time was "giant snake!" but it might have not even actually been that big XD. I do love snakes though, they're such huggy animals if you treat them right. Oh, and I know it's stupid of me to keep mentioning Florida but if you like lizards you'd probably like it there quite a lot, brown anoles are about as common as bugs there and you can almost always see them scurrying about.

Also that's great to hear about your doctor visit, I really hope everything goes well for you!

@Kronshi I'm glad!

Also also you guys what about equines? I think my sister's obsession with them is sort of getting passed on to me, we're semi planning getting a farm someday when we have enough money, but I told her I'd only be into it if it could be in Oregon.

@21308 No problem about mentioning Florida. And we've had lots of lizards in Kurdistan as well. Snakes too.
I honestly aren't too interested in moving to the states - perhaps visiting. Though I doubt that'll be easy if Trump becomes president. :P

@21308

My family does orchards and my grandpa lives in reno on a farm so...yeah XD

@Loony Kurdistan sounds pretty cool, I'd probably really love it there if I was ever able to go but I'd be afraid of embarrassing myself like I nearly always do when I'm in a new place. And lol yeah, I wasn't actually trying to like advertise the US or anything *cough*comehereandspendmoney and wouldn't blame you if you never had any interest in coming here. I mean, I like it here well enough and I talk about the various regions or whatever because I've actually been to most of them, but yeah.

@Akayaofthemoon Your grandpa should give me a job :p

@21308 It is, but admittedly if you don't know the language, you probably shouldn't come because a lot of folk will take advantage of that, I'm afraid. That and you probably shouldn't go right now because the situation's, pardon my language, absolute shit right now.

@Loony Having people take advantage of my dumb tourist-ness sounds kind of amusing but yeah, I doubt I'd like it much since I've lost money that way before. And yeah... considering recent events I don't know that I'd attempt it any time soon.

Am I allowed to make a post for Emerald that has him reflecting on the events of 10 minutes ago? I guess he's always a little hazy, so I thought it would fit.

I don't see why not as long as everyone is in town now. I would like to actually have that side of the story moving forward

Are the monsters headed toward our characters anyway? I bet I should have Spinel get ready. It's been oh so long since I've gotten to use Spinel.

Chuck! It's your time to shine! Do your wife and son proud by being a good mayor(Who will probably say 'RUN LET THE GEMS HANDLE IT' and run himself.)!

There is ONE corrupted gem heading for town. ALL YOUNG GEMS should be IN TOWN with an EARPIECE! This way they get the message or part of the message that the creature is coming. They didn't want to worry the humans so some went to town and acted normal.

I have been trying to get that side of the story to do something but no one would and I don't have a young gems to move things over or at least I don't till Maeve gets there >.<

Carnelian always amuses me XD lol

LOL. I bet she and Mettaton would either be two peas in a pod, or be total rivals. XD

I wouldn't be surprised if she started calling herself carnelian EX after she inevitably reforms, lol
