Even though adoption is a great and viable option for many different scenarios I don't think anyone should condemn or berate people who choose not to adopt (if they can biologically produce children). I just think if that's the case for anyone you're blaming the wrong people for the problem.

Still a great car Berserker <: And yeah Codename, I have only dreamed of having a car like this. We've been the talk of the town in our little Rice Racer, and god I fucking love pop ups aaaaaaaaa

Hey everybody. Who's going to San Japan this year? Heck yeah!, I'm going. They're celebrating their 10th year and have a concert featuring an orchestra that plays Final Fantasy music. I hear they're giving away goodies for attendees

Is there a option to hide posts from certain peoples (unsubscribe to them) on my MO front page? I don't want to unnecessary unfriend them but it gets annoying real quick when there's a lot of stuff I don't want to see.

Cerealia I checked out Rick and Morty. It's alright I think I'm on episode 9 but I feel as though I should stop there. Maybe it's because I'm too serious of a person and the fact that I might just be missing on most of the references but a lot of the jokes that my friend was reacting to didn't hit me at all. Although I absolutely adore the mother as a character especially in the episode where Mr Meeseeks makes an appearance

College Station but i might go to Austin for college, probably San Francisco. It all depends if the Army accepts me or not with my hard of hearing!

It's often easy to prove a catfish because I've seen a LOT of familiar photos of semi-famous instagram people and stuff like that on these kinds of sites. Hell it's even more galling when I see people with pictures of people I PERSONALLY know myself - it can get that stupid. Those people are very easy to suss out. There's nothing you can really do - even showing pictures of yourself can't fully solve the problem, all you can really do is just continue what you're doing. Keep talking and befriending others and show that you are the real deal through your character and personality. You'll gain friends who will genuinely care about you and you'll happily lose those who don't give a damn.

My current job doesn't give me time to work on anything other than the relentless spew of things from a conveyer belt which shows no regard for the human element... And yet today I have a strangely fortunate eye infection, so I just called off, and will get some writing done. ^__^ But yeah, I know what thats like. A lot of my stories, even if they are grounded in a single world, flirt with holographic realities and higher planes, so they're always much bigger than they are. And part of that is because a lot of them are technically set in the same setting, for future crossover ideas. So the universe needs to be structured in a way where a fantasy world can operate with different rules than a more modern, realistic setting. But there's a lot of things that overlap as well. Influences from various planes, interactions between spiritual outsiders with each other and the inhabitants in the world that are rarely seen. When one thing gets changed, that really does echo through out the other projects. There's sort of a higher, hidden narrative that goes on in the back of my mind, so thats why I design the world and setting first, then work inward until I have the characters and an idea for an adventure or conflict to throw them in. Because that's the only way I can make all the pieces fit, while allowing each story can work as its own experience. If you aren't already using a program to keep track of all your concepts, Scrivener is a good app to use for organizing ideas, so that's what I personally recommend. Although free apps that are about as good are out there, so its up to you, really. Then again, a lot of my design ideas stem more from DMing D&D and Pathfinder games, and there may be more practical, less time consuming ways to structure a story than going into the setting first.
