@Shoryu Magami

I know what you mean.

@CrazyShadowy@Shadow007
Well, if you two get Skype, you're welcome to group chat with me there (at least until this bullshit gets worked out, though Discord irritates me for a multitude of reasons). On Skype, my account is solitaryangel1983; just make sure I know who you are since I don't add random accounts.

This is, obviously, an invitation to other people who know me on here too.

I'm back. But hardly.

@NekoMizu
Yeah, it sounds like you're having internet issues. This anything like mine a week or so ago, or is it just unstable?

@Shoryu Magami
There's an Internet outage in my city. So sad.

@NekoMizu
Right, so nothing like what happened with me. It's still a pain though.

I'm trying to work out something involving the surname of that character I mentioned before.

@Shoryu Magami
Didn't you say they had a sibling or family member or whatever?

@NekoMizu
There's an entire family revolving around this surname, but a lot of them are dead by the time the story happens. A few are still around though.

@Shoryu Magami
Internet's back :^) I generally either use generators or use a theme, be it based on the character themselves, or the story theme: I.E. Squirrel character being named Risu. (Also sign me up for that group chat deal mate) side note, I'm really glad I came to this site. Lel

@NekoMizu
I'm very particular about picking names and my perfectionist nature bleeds over to it a lot. Sometimes it takes a really long time for me to settle on a name and consider it more than a placeholder. I usually take a lot of things into account, such as the origin and meaning, and I try to make the names sound unique or uncommon if I can too. Some of the names also go by a theme, such as people from the family we're talking about at the moment to an extent.

Like I said, if you download Skype you can add that account I listed.

@Shoryu Magami
You and I are contacts on skype remember lel
Think I'm gonna sleep for now. It's almost 5 am

@NekoMizu
Oh, right... Lol, that's how out of it I am lately. Well next time we can see if it'll work then. I haven't seen your name appear on my phone app for Skype, so I guess that's why I forgot we added each other.

Considering I keep losing my notes (on a variety of mediums) and my browser also breaks down a lot (making me lose tabs that had important things up on them), I definitely know the feeling of wanting to be safe... Like I said, take your time. Just know that I did edit my PM slightly yesterday, so you might want to make sure you're up to date on that.

Noted. I'll check and see if I need to change some of my replies. :)

I'm curious about why you lose your notes so often? For me I'd keep both soft (cloud storage, and USB drive as backup) and hard (in notebook) copies of my project notes, so that I am assured that I don't lose my precious ideas. You also mentioned that your browser crashes a lot - I wonder if it's because you're working your notes on Gdoc? It happens a lot to me and also my other schoolmates when we're doing project reports and stuff, yeah... I dunno.

Just dropping by to say hi before I pass out. Work sucked but hey, now I'm on vacation till Monday!!!!! :3 Wonder if I can wear a Halloween costume to work?

@tsukune
Sounds good. Looking forward to the reply.

Honestly, a lot of my notes get lost because until I met Amanda I was in a really bad place in my life and more or less didn't care enough about anything to properly sort my notes, so they've all been contained in notepads on my PCs/USBs, alongside some notes that were on my PS3's hard drive (those notes have been lost due to a corruption, sadly, and I probably won't be able to recover them). Since I'm unorganized, I never managed to break the habit of just putting my ideas into notepads. Those which aren't in that format are on pieces of paper, and due to one of my physical conditions it's extremely painful to write (it's also painful to type, and do most things to be frank) so my handwriting it somewhat unreadable even for me.

Most of the times I lose notes (other than simply not being able to read them due to have frantically I store them due to the aforementioned problem of having too many thoughts for my body to keep up with) it's due to various technology screw ups corrupting them (and recovery programs failing to help) or causing them to be lost before I get a chance to save/back-up them. As for the tabs breaking down, to be perfectly blunt my PC is a piece of shit (and so was every other PC I've had til now; my luck with technology is notorious) that's too old and can barely handle much open without starting to crash, and my work requires I have numerous tabs open at once which it usually can't handle. Due to the PC being too weak, it just causes them to fall apart a lot.

I've lost quite a lot of my ideas and work due to these sorts of problems, and it really has taken and incredible amount of willpower and resilience for me to keep pushing on and continuing to move forward with my project after so much has been lost. I joined this site pretty much specifically because I was in one of my low states of morale (I haven't had a lot of chances lately to really sit down and just talk with Ailyn to boost it), so I needed to pick myself up somehow.

@Ailyn Evensen
Hey you. Since we're on the phone, it'd be weird if I replied here in any depth.

@Ailyn Evensen Hey there :)

@Shoryu Magami You're struggle sounds very, very real xD

@HaleyTheRandom
Lol, indeed the struggle is real. How're you doing?

*yawns* @HaleyTheRandom Hiiiiiya

@Shoryu Magami Pretty okay. Couldn't find my Metallica T-shirt this morning, unfortunately and my hair looks like crap, but other than that pretty well xD Mainly a lot of teenage girl struggles. You?

@Ailyn Evensen Sleepy?

@HaleyTheRandom
She's usually in bed by now.

Ah, well at least your struggles are something you can relate to as normal, right? Helps to deal with them, I'd imagine. As for me, just trying not to let the bitch that is my workload become too problematic. As I've mentioned, I can get into pretty heavy amounts of stress and have large spouts of depression due to it all (which sometimes causes my mood to get really unpleasant), but I'm too stubborn for my own good so I'll survive somehow. The end of the world couldn't get rid of me, to put it bluntly.
