long time no see...eh?feels like ages since I checked up on the Valley.lol. things are crazy!!! life has taken a turn for the worse in my family due to the economy things are tough..lol...not to mention lots of social situations coming up for me next year... entirely new school...fun.anyways how is everyone and their pounce???

[Charmwing]

Kumon! -glomps-
Eee, it's so nice to see you. <3 This place is so quiet all the time now, it's nice to hear from someone. ^^
Sorry about the economic problems your family is having, and the new school thing... but I'm sure the school won't be too bad. I think pretty much everyone's having problems with the economy now-a-days, but there's not alot we can do about that. :/

I'm doing fine, for the most part. Mom is talking about moving out and finding a place for us with her boyfriend, which is kind of upsetting, because I've lived in this house my whole life and all my pets are buried here, but I'll live, I suppose. :3
Life's pretty much treating me well, though. And my pounce is great too, if not a little bored, of course. x3
What about you and your pounce? Anything else going on?

[Blondie_63]

Charmie! Kumon!
*hugs* Hi guys!

Yeah quiet and I can say that I have been lately. College is doing that to me. But summer's here now and I am so ready to RP! And so is my pounce...*gets smacked my Jayden* Well that explains it. Evil Boy!

I couldn't agree more about the economy. Problems seem to arie with everyone I know including myself. It sucks! I can't stand it. Being broke all the time even though I have a job...it doesn't make sense.
New schools aren't that bad. They're fun if you make them that way. New start. New friends plus your old ones are still there if you let them be and if they're good enough.

My dad used to do the same thing with me. He'd find some girl he met on the internet and move in with her after a few months and then end up getting us kicked out...New schools, new family, new house, new everything and i hated it. Until I startecd to just grow accustomed to it and block it all out. Now I'm in college and I can stay here. I'm so much happier now!

I'm doing good. I did amazing at school this year and am excited for next year. My Pounce is uh quote angry with me at the moment for taking so long to get back to the Valley!

[kumon]

hey Blondie and Charmwing!!!

gosh Blondie that must have sucked moving all the time and having to be around different people all the time...glad to hear College is going well though!!

Sorry to hear about the moving Charmwing....all my pets are buried at my house too...but they are just fish.haha.

Today was my graduation....8th grade that is...lol

[Charmwing]

Blondie! -glomps-
Nice to hear that College is treating you well, but yes, the money problems suck. I may not have to deal with it a lot being a kid, but my grandpa complains about it enough. -rolls eyes- Can't have a nice, quiet dinner without him starting about politics or the economy or the price of silver and gold. O___o;;

But, I just got over the flu, so I guess I'm still a little cranky. Bleh. xD
I'm just glad we were able to catch it early, or else it probably would've lasted weeks instead of days. O__o;;

Well, she's actually known this guy since middle/high school, and have been best friends since then, so it's not that I'm worried about. My mom trusts him, so I trust him, but I just don't know him very well. He's really nice, and if he makes my mom happy then I'm good with it. x3

Eeek, you're in 8th grade, Kumon? Well, 9th now, I guess. I thought you were much higher then that. x3
I'm only in 7th. I feel short. xD

[kumon]

Really?! haha. I thought i was a loner and that everyone else was in highschool or college or out of both.xD.Well atleast we can be short togehter.haha.8th grades pretty fun, it was one of my less awkward years.xD

[Blondie_63]

It only sucks if you make it. It's all in your head. You have it in your head that it's going to be worse than where you're at and it definetly will. You have it in your head that it'll be better and I bet that it will be at least a little better than you expect.

Congrats on graduating 8th grade. Man I feel old...

Yeah the old people are the worst. They always complain about the prices at my McDonalds. I don't make the prices but I'm the one getting yelled at...makes me sick!

[Charmwing]

-pounces- Blondie's not old!

6th grade has been my favorite year in Middle School, I think. I had really, really cool teachers, heh. 7th grade's been treating me well also. I'm a little nervous about 8th grade though, since I'll have all advanced classes again. O.o;; Eeek.
Living Science and Excellerated Math are scary things to think about. x3
But congrats on graduating, none the less!

I think old people are the worst about prices and stuff because when they were our age a pound of candy only cost 25 cents! Or so they tell me. >.>;;;

[Blondie_63]

Heh. Blondie feels old lately. I'm 20... But that's ok.

Once you guys get to Senior year you can tell me yor favorite year in school. Heh. I loved Senior Year. There was so many more things I could do that I couldn't before. There was so many more fun activities. Plus the excitement of it being the last year was just amazing! I loved it!

But tey also got payed like a dollar a day so...It makes more sense to me but apparently not to them.

[Charmwing]

This is a little random, but I like the number 20 for some odd reason. xD It makes me think of a circle. :3

I think Senior year will be a sad and rather frustrating year for me, because I'll have to start deciding what I wanna go to college for. I've never been good with that. :/
Plus I kinda like school... sure it's annoying, but it's fun sometimes too. Depends on who you're with. ;P

It's weird thinking that if a person got payed a dollar a day back then, that it was a lot. And that a house could only cost a hundred dollars or so. O.o
Butyeah. Old people = very concerned about money, for some odd reason.
... I just thought of something. Why were they eating at McDonalds anyways? I thought old people were supposed to eat healthy, lol. xD

[Blondie_63]

Quite random...Circle...How? Haha.

You know what, I was the same way before I got to senior year. I was in my Child Development class and I was looking through the book at the jobs involving children, because I knew that I wanted to do anything involving children. I found my perfect job! Yeah going through a textbook! I'm going to be an Adotion Consultant. Now that I know what I want to do I refuse to give up. I will be an Adoption Consultant one day I promised myself!

I agree. School is fun sometimes. Truthfully I don't usually like Summer because I get bored easily. But the Summer when I graduated it was an amazing summer! I was so ready for college! The activities that my friends and I went through to get in, like the Orientations and finding a roomate, were extremely fun!

It is isn't it! Strange indeed. Especially thinking about how much everything here costs!
My thing is if they're so worried about money why are they eating there? Stop complaining and don't eat there! It's annoying...My work brings out the worst in me I swear.

[kumon]

just think way back in like the 1800s you could get a couple of acres for i think 50 cents....if you wanted land in California and Oregon and the states on the west that was....it think that's crazy!! Now it costs millions!

I'm excited to think that in like 2 years I'll be getting a job...but it seems like a pain too. Bet everyone who works now wishes they could get allowance again and be able to live on it...haha. only feeding pets doing dishes and stuff like that.

I know what you mean Blondie. This year i'm not going to summer school because we are going out of state, but i'm already bored and pondering what to do and it's only been 3 days.haha!

[Charmwing]

Uh... not sure. xD Maybe because of the zero? :3 It just seems like a nice, solid number to me, heh.

I have a couple jobs that I've been tossing around for the past couple years, but I'm not sure which one would be the best for me. I think I'd get bored doing the same thing for the rest of my life, even if it was cool or something. -shrug- Just haven't found my match yet, I guess. :3
I'm glad that you know what you wanna do though, blondie. What exactly is an Adoption Consultant, if you don't mind me asking? I'm guessing someone who a couple goes to to find a child to adopt?

I don't know where I'm gonna work when I get my papers in a few years. O.o I don't think any of the stores around me would hire a 16-year-old.

I don't know what I'm gonna do this summer either. I'll probably get bored after the first week or two too. xD Although, I do know we're going to Hershey Park for a weekend, so I guess I can look forward to that.

-giggles- I think it's good that you've decided to work with children, Blondie, because you would not do well with seniors. xD (Not that I really would either, hehe)

[Blondie_63]

It is crazy. But look at how it was back then though too. How many people were actually working? Only white men.

Yeah a job isn't that great. I looked forward to it too but as soon as I got my job I complained! =D Heh. But I don't know what I would do without it.

I thought that doing the same thing for year would be boring too. That's why I stuck with something in the line of Social Work. There's always different cases. But if you find a job that isn't just a sit in the office all day kind of job it's not really the same every day.
I'm glad too!(Don't get mad get GLAD! Hah. That's funny.) Helps a couple yes but also helps the children. I'll help the children find a new home and help the parents and child get used to their new home. There's a lot of Psychology involved too.

I got hired at 16. It's crazy to think I've been working for 4 years now...

-laughs Hysterically- HAHA! You are so right Charm!

[kumon]

That's what's cool...when you get older...like out of highschool and college and stuff your job actually means something. Like what you want to do Blondie...it gives back to tons of people everyday including making you happy. I think that's what will make a job fun.
