[Corva]

Some of them will return, I can guarantee that.

[Blue Tiger]

Silv is still here isnt he?

[Corva]

Don't you mean 'she'?

Some of them have left before, but they've always returned. The number isn't as high as last year, and remember the Forums haven't been that active. wut2say was probably only a few posts from appearing on that list. Heavyman goes on MSN, I'll ask him why he doesn't go on Dragnix. Plus we'll (hopefully) be getting an infusion of new Minds for the RP section, if my friends told them about it.

I disappear from the forums during the year, not at the end of it, so my name never appears on that list.

[Jake]

Silv will be back im sure,

Took a bit to find a good one...... (By Poe)

Eldorado
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

Good by. And I do hope to see you again.

[Marik]

I am also back, unfortunately life catches up occasionally. But here's to hoping more people will come and RP...

[Silentiea]

El Dorado. The Unicorn. As in 'will never happen'?

[Falconer]

It could happen. And maybe they'll bring aliens with them.

[Silentiea]

Here's hoping?

Or 'tother way around. Hoping not, sort of thing. I wonder if it'll be like the movies...

[wut2say]

i was probably pretty close to that list... but i have a hero who kept facebooking me to get back on.

So no fear guys. i havent forgotten, and i'm trying to tell my life that homework and school are actually not as important as its cranked up to be.

[Silentiea]

Homework and school were more important than I cracked them up to be. Or rather, they could have been, and then they'd be less important now.

Still, glad to have old peeps back.



P.S.: Facebooking you say? Hero you say?

[wut2say]

with the way you said that i'm not sure if i want to own up to my own words

[Falconer]

Ah, leave her alone, Silentia, like you've never phrased a statement awkwardly.

[Silentiea]

What? I was agreeing. And then disagreeing. And then agreeing again, but in a more resigned way than before. And then being happy. And then curious. And then quiet. And now this, but I'm not entirely sure how to describe 'this' without sounding grandiloquent, so I won't bother.

[wut2say]

you are being indecisively blunt. IT's a good skill to have. Confuses some while throughly amuses others. A great ploy in conversations with strangers

[Silentiea]

Great at parties, too.

[wut2say]

very very good point.... wonderfully amusing at parties.

[Silentiea]

Like diving for apples in caramel. Half the people love it, half the people are there for the spectacle anyway, and everyone playing is unconvinced that apples actually float in caramel and don't just sink very slowly.

[wut2say]

that is a very interesting picture that could kill someone...dont breathe when you are bobbing in the caramel

[Silentiea]

I'm sure they'd be fine. Bobbing for caramel apples would be fun.

[Falconer]

Every time I look, this place gets wierder and wierder.

I feel so at home.

[Blue Tiger]

Yes, where would the world be without a little wierdness! Speaking of that apple thing, it reminded be of the apple dunking in water, I used to love that game when I was younger, untill recently I thought of one disgusting fact, isnt all the other peoples saliva going into the water too? ewww....

[Falconer]

The chance of cross-infection is statistically insignificant. You're more likely to contract something that was in the water to begin with, or on the apples.

[wut2say]

and yet i still bob for apples...hmmm
