[OOC] Digital or Real?

[Scout]

Oh! And my move is right around the corner! About a week from Friday and I'll be all set!! ^_^

EDIT: Oops, didn't realize this... I have an OOC post at the bottom of the last page and forgot to edit it with this message, so... bleh. XD Sorry about that.

[Genkai]

I'm almost done with my post, as a heads up...I will be on vacation next week so replies will be delayed on my end.

Edit - Post is up, kids are cute. Super cute. :3

[Scout]

XD I love reading your posts. They're so fun. Have fun on vacation! Where ya goin? It's fine too, cause next week I'll be packing and getting ready to put everything in a truck and unload it at another location.

And I'll mention this again... DEVIOUS PLANS... MUWAHAHAHA. I'll reply tomorrow. ^^ Suddenly, it's late.

[Genkai]

I'm going to Hawaii with the family, parents go often enough with the time share, they thought I should go before school gets too crazy. I'm not a fan of sand or big open water so I'll be in the shade, drinking and reading. :3 Moving bites, good luck with that.

XD Yay a post. Or a post soon. And I'm glad, I like reading yours as well~

[Scout]

I don't have much to move for me, so I think we'll be pretty okay. ^^ I'm excited!

I agree, big open water and sand are just meh... Especially sand. I hate sand a lot... it takes me forever to get it off my feet and I always end up getting salt water in my mouth... Bleeeeh and it takes forever to get the taste out and it ruins the taste of all normal water for the day... But I love water ;n;

Drinking and reading in the shade?! :O THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VACATION! <3 Have fun! ^_^

EDIT: Oh, thank you, by the way. ^^ I'm glad you like my posts.

[Genkai]

Omg. Someone else who hates sand. I haaaate the dry texture and it gets everywhere and urgh. The beach is pretty, no doubt but I'd love to stay away if possible. I have issues with depth perception in the water too, which is probably why I get nervous when I swim. But I'll probably snorkel a little for fun, but that might be it.

I even bought a new game to play, so I should have fun if my family leaves me alone. XD

I loved your post, it was so cute! :3 Gosh, "as friends" might have shot him in the foot, poor guy.

[Scout]

I HATE IT SO MUCH. I'd rather stand in the grass nearby and admire the sand from afar. XD It's so pretty from the sky, though! Oh, I love seeing hte beach from a plane... I can dig the ocean from a ship... I LOVE riding ferries, boats, ships, and jetskis. Oh my god, I've never had more fun than when I was on a motorcycle of the sea... XD I can do the beach if I don't get wet feet, because then the sand doesn't stick. But I'd much prefer a chair over a towel. Ew. Hope you have fun! :D

I'm glad you liked it. ^^ Fufufu~ Yeah, poor fella. I don't feel sorry for him though >_> He gets the girl next door experience. What a lucky guy, even if it's gonna take work getting there. I thought that the paintball game would be a good way to roleplay within a roleplay. XD Show how much they love just immersing themselves in new experiences like that, like playing actual war. The entire club would likely be super into it as gamers/roleplayers, I imagine. I might even have James' brother join them, as I have plans for him to join the military. :3 Drama~

These two are gonna be so cute :3 especially after they get together for real. It'll be so sad when she leaves ;n;

[Genkai]

Grass is awesome, it's my habitat for sure. Years and years of soccer have made me run much better on grass than on pavement or tracks. Beaches are shit for walking, let along running if you ask me. I love going on cruises or ferries. I don't think I'd enjoy jet-skis but I see how fun they probably are. I hope to have fun, there's always some shit between me and my older brother (one who isn't in the Navy) so if we don't fight too much, that'll be good. I won't have time off like this for a while so I want to make the most of not dealing with animals or family and just relaxing. I hope I can write as much as read. We shall see....

The paintball thing could be really fun. I think if you put a gun in Sasha's hand, she'll probably go nuts and shoot at everyone because OMG U CAN'T CATCH ME! <3 I'm working on my post now cause it's too cute to wait till later. Did you want me to do skip ahead at all? To either the paintball or the dance?

Btw, the way Alex "wants to make her first dance special" sounds like he wants to rape her. XP To me anyway, which amused me because I'm weird.

[Scout]

Hm... However you like. ^_^ I think the paintball would be first, because the colder it gets, the worse off it'll be. Maybe they find a nice, warm day to do, seeing as the temperature would have some days are summer-y and some are winter-y. Mornings would be cool and breezy, shortening, etc. and then middays might still be quite warm, especially seeing as they'll be covered for protection. Then we'll do the dance.

EDIT: Have you ever seen Community? The TV Show? (Love that show) There are a few episodes where they have a school-wide paintball game at the end of their semester and it trashes the school because the prize is something amazing or everybody thinks it will be. Each one has a theme and the entire school is just absolutely embedded in characters, it's hysterical. That's kinda how I imagine it. Like one paintball fight episode is almost apocalyptic, one is western, and one is Star Wars. But the setting doesn't really change. I think it'd be interesting to do something like that. XD

EDITEDIT: Oh, yeah, I was thinking of how many ways I could word that. It was really hard. XD I'm not naturally smooth, I do much better playing the charmingly humble character. Pretend it wasn't creepy. XD

[Genkai]

Okay, sounds fine to me. Cue boys trying to save the princess who just ends up killing everyone anyway. Cue Sasha bringing everyone boxed lunches or something polite as hell.

I haven't. I've heard good things. I'm still behind on Parks & Rec. I have the last half of this season to finish. I might do that on vacation. I know TBBT did a paintball scene or two.

I know it wasn't meant to be creepy, but it could have been so awful. Probably worse if he was like a Senior...ya know raging sex drive and all that. >__>

Edit - Not too happy with my post but we could keep them shorter (ish) if wanted to do a few more scenes with painball. I do plan on having Sasha's mom going into labor in the evening and her either needing to stay with James that night, or something like that.

[Scout]

A senior would be gross... That's why I made him a sophomore. xD Lawl. Yeah, TBBT I've seen one scene of paintballing, but in Community, they were episodes. I watched every episode of the Office, but never got into Parks & Rec despite how funny I think Amy Poehler is. Same with 30 Rock and Tine Fey. Love them both, but I never got into it, sadly.

I loved your post! ^^ But I find that most of things that I write and go "that could have been better..." others find it to be quite good. If I write something and I"m really proud of it or satisfied, it's not as good as I thought. XD So the rule is to just never be satisfied with your work and it'll make it all the better. Fufufu~

Also...

Genkai said PAINBALL

It's gonna get real up in there. XD This is gonna be sooo sweet ;w;

[Scout]

Hope you enjoy the new post. :3

[Genkai]

Amy Poehler is freaking adorable. I love Parks & Rec and it was fun to see other stars cameo on it. I should probably get into Community during downtime. I finally got my tablet yesterday and spent a lot of time updating and downloading crap. I still use XP on my laptop but I ended up getting 8.1 for the tablet (much to my dismay since I'd rather have android like my phone) so that was a nightmare. I don't mind the set up of 8.1, I actually like it but damn...Windows is such a pain. It took me over six hours and I didn't to get bed until five in the morning and now I have to pack to leave tomorrow...thank god I have vacation now because I am fucking spent.

But Netflix on the tablet looks amazing. And I can probably break it in over the week and do any posting as needed. Phew.

I did see your post the day before yesterday and was gonna hop online but anyway, I'm here now (for the rest of the day) so huzzah.

Yes...PAINBALL. Screw the paint, they're now filled with nails and blood. Muahahaha!

Sometimes I love me posts, other times I think they need to die but they're better than not posting at all. A muse can be so troublesome but it feels good to write after having not done it for a few days.

Boom. How've you been?

Edit - Posted, the "as friends" thing isn't going to be lived down. XP In my next post, I'll probably have Sasha's dad ring her and tell her about her mom going into labor.

[Scout]

I agree, her mannerisms and comedy style are just so cute. XD Windows pisses me off... I'm going to be getting a tower computer sometime in the next few months because my rommate is awesome and he offered to help me build it and teach me stuffs (yay!) so when that happens, I may build it around Linux unless Windows 7 is going to be a viable option. Then again, Microsoft has a tendency to back-pedal when they do something STUPID (e.g. Windows 8 when put on PCs and not just tablets [Android is still better]) - case in point is the XBox One's many, MANY terrible decisions before launch which they reversed before release. Good luck dealing with that.

When and if you do watch Community, please tell me all about how you feel on it ;n; I have nobody to talk to about it and ugh... Just love it so much... Alison Brie <3 and Donald Glover... and Danny Pudi. XD I love Annie, Troy, and Abed (respectively to their actors mentioned before). Abed especially. Okay, gotta shut up or I'll completely start to ramble. I love their DnD episodes too... Okay! SHutting up!

Nails and blood?! >: D YES! And they'll incorporate water boarding too! MUWAHAHAHA

Bang. I'm good. :D Especially now that you posted.

Looking forward to the next post already, and I haven't even done mine yet. :p

[Genkai]

Windows is still better than Apple. To me anyway. Since my dad is in network security and has been for like EVER, we've always been a PC/Windows family though he uses an iPhone which is beyond me...I gave up mine years ago and never looked back. Even so, I love XP to no end and I have great security on it so, I probably won't upgrade until they pry my laptop out of my cold dead hands. The fact is, 8 works best as a touch screen and it kind of sucks for the rest of us. Maybe they'll wise up next time...

I hear good things about Linux but my dad refused to pay for my tablet (late xmas gift since what we got initially was a dud in terms of space/speed/battery life) unless it was Windows and so far it's been giving me trouble but in about a month (at most) I'm sure I'll be happy with it. I like the tab or blocks or whatever they're called. I actually hardly use the "desktop" feature. I see why people would want it but the blocks are so fluid, they're not too bad for me.

Yes shut up or you'll turn me off of Community. That's what neared happened to me with Doctor Who. Ages ago, my friend wouldn't shut up about it and I still hardly remember what she even said to me since I was tuning her out but low and behold...a year or two later and I have little regret about jumping into that fandom. ^^;

Oh yes, nothing says fun like water boarding. XD It's a summer pastime!

Yes, your answer was good. You pass the test! *takes down hidden cameras*

Cue Sasha freaking out about being a big sister and now running away because being the only child is the best thing ever. (I can only imagine...)

[Scout]

I agree. I hate everything Apple apart from the iPod - not the PHONE, only as a music player. I never owned and iPhone and never plan to and good on you for making the right choice, my friend. My laptop happens to be a touch screen, but honestly I'd rather it wasn't. <_> The "live tiles" are just kind of a pain and it's not fun to look at. I jurry-rig mine to download everything on the desktop rather than the start menu. I *only* use teh desktop feature on my computer. XD Gasp! My interest in Doctor Who was the same as yours - people wouldn't shut up about it and my dad's step-son (ew. just... ew... I hate saying it like that, I don't even call his wife my step-mom, but it gets so tiring saying "my dad's wife's son") would watch season 5 & 6 episodes with me in the room so it got kind of bleh for me before I started. I wasn't interested by Matt Smith right out of the gate because I wasn't familiar with the story. Luckily I only remember an episode or two of it.

I hope there isn't too much god-modding in my post, I just wanted to move along to a point before she got the call and I Figured a lot between would just be filler anyway. ^^ Lemme know if anything needs changed (after it's posted in a few minutes).

[Genkai]

You can turn off the "live" part of the tiles. I usually do since I assume it drains battery and I don't need to see honor movies pop up from Netflix at night because I have enough to worry about. I did wish that in the corner of the desktop, you had a START menu, I don't there is one, though I was pretty wiped out last night so I may have overlooked it. Touch is going to take some getting use to since i have a fear that somehow, down the line it'll wear off or something...

Matt Smith is good, though I'd say an acquired taste for some, he can be a bit too "all over the place" and tends to lose the seriousness that Chris and David had, which I enjoyed the most. I think I saw bits of DW with Ten or Eleven (channel surfing briefly and thought 'what the fuck is everyone hyped about?' and then changed after five mins) but I could only enjoy it by going all the way back. Some fandoms are forever and some are just nice to be in, but not too deeply.

No no, that's not really god-modding to me, we tend to puppet things along as needed which is cool with me. If you wanna have your post mention she got a call and maybe hung up or whatever, that's fine with me. I'd only be mad if you made her throw herself in front of a car. XD Then that might be a problem.

[Scout]

Right :3 but regardless, the tiles are "live" to me because you can activate them. Maybe like... icon tiles or something. Whatevs, I hate them. No, there is no "start" menu on the desktop, the start menu is where you find all of those tiles. In order to search, you just start typing on that screen and it'll start searching. I liked the old way so much better... But to each their own, I suppose. I've yet to get to Matt Smith, but when I move into my new apartment, I'm going to catch up as much as I can to the series. ^^ I agree, some fandoms require true immersion to be appreciated (like DW) and others you can look at at any time. Things like SAO, you don't really need story to love because the most attractive thing that SAO has is the floating castle Aincrad... what a great setting... XD And while I read all the novels, saw all the episodes, and I'm reading the new manga series, I'm not completely attached to the story itself. Maybe a character or two I like, but it's mostly the setting itself. Love VR <3 split-life concepts are awesome.

[Genkai]

Fandoms probably depend when you find them. If you find them when you're younger, they tend to be more near to your heart. If you find them later in life, it gets a different outlook rather than as someone who's just figuring life out. You can always look at something in more than one way. ^^;

[Scout]

I think you're very right. Not only close to your heart, but more of an unconscious inspiration for ideas and likes later on. Nostalgia <3 tell me what you think of the post - hope it wasn't too fast paced. ;n;
