[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

That is a big plus side to common names XD Mine is Brigette ^-^

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper I'm from the Iraqi region. So is my father. But that's irrelevant. My mother grew up in the Irani region, but that doesn't make a difference. We're all still Kurds regardless of which country our region falls into. :/

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon It can be. Makes me happy when people answer "Oh, so you're one of those arsonists/devil worshippers/pseudo-arabs/turk murderers/etc., aren't you?" Because at least those people know where I'm from, even if their perception of us is way off the charts. XD

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

People are people, what should it really matter where others are from? It is annoying to have people try to judge you on where you live >.< If we all did that, I would be a surfer chick or a stylish ditz -__-

[Saarebas]

@Akayaofthemoon@Loony Meh I never really saw how where someone is from effects them, then again my family is kind of a giant melting pot.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Honestly, I much prefer the judging over the ignorance of my nation's existence, but that's just me. Probably just because it feels so damn nice to know that there do exist people who know that you exist. :P

And you guys already know I have three names, but I revealed Dylan, so you guys can call me that if you want. Still prefer Loony over that, though.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

My family is the same way.

I judge people by how they treat people. You are nice to me and the people I care about then I am nice to you. You are a spiteful and cruel...well... it doesn't really fly around me XD

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Loony I shall call you ^-^ I like being called by my online name while I am online but that is just me XD

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Man, if only we could all just treat people by who they are and not where they're from. Imagine how many conflicts we'd end.

[Saarebas]

@Akayaofthemoon Same, you cool with me and I'm cool with you

@Loony Loony it is XD I don't have a preference honestly as long as I know who you are talking to.

[Pathfinder]

Well, I'm Devon and I cannot stress enough that it is not pronounced Dev-on but Dev-in. I'm from Alaska and I get all of those types of questions from the lower 48. I can't really get why people are so rude to others because of culture. I dunno, but I think your awesome@Loony.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon I prefer Loony both online and offline. I just prefer nicknames over my real ones in general. ^ ^"

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

No kidding. I had friends in highschool from all different clicks and walks off life and I had one of my friends ask me once how I was ever able to make a group that hung out together and were so close but so different. I looked them in the face and said, 'I don't judge. I find people who are nice and then I slowly introduce them together because we wanted to eat lunch together but I didn't make a choice over my friends. They chose to be with me and were forced to see passed clicks, looks and other things to see the nice people they all were which let them find things they had in common.'

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

I don't have many nicknames...all of mine either make no sense, are just pointing out my short height, or they are just short versions of my name.

[Loony]

@Pathfinder Could have to do with the fact that our people becoming a nation = loss of land, power, and oil for the countries in which our territory is in + Everyone already hates us and wants us gone and by becoming our own country we might get basic rights in areas like Turkey such as speaking our language** No, but seriously, thank you, I think you're awesome too, Devon. Or Pathfind. Which ever you prefer.

I think you're all awesome. > w <

**Us and Turkey go a long way back, and unfortunately, we never did get along very well. Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against the people or culture, but their government...

"Hmmm, so you know the whole assimilation thing we were going with against the Kurds, and how we've sorta been killing anyone caught speaking the language?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, we're going to abolish that law and make the first school in forever that teaches Kurdish in Turkey."

"...Really."

"Yeah, really. But don't worry, we'll burn it down the very day it is opened and then forget the abolishing ever happened."

[Pathfinder]

@Akayaofthemoon
I feel ya, the best I got is Dev.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Think of it this way, I've had nicknames ranging from "Simon the Evil Bunny" to "Dill Pickle" to "Booger of God" so if you think your nicknames are weird, well, just remember mines. XD

[Pathfinder]

@Loony
I go by whatever you wanna call me, most just call me Path.

[Loony]

@Pathfinder Alright then Path, that is what I shall call you by. ' v '

[Loony]

Eep, light subject in three...two...one...

Do you like birbs? Because I like birbs.

Here is a picture of a birb eating from a plate.



He's my birb. ♥
