Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
I've got a few memories from the last two years.
There was the sexy maid thing from back when Lew had an uncontrollable drooling problem. Ah, how I miss that dress...
Birthday cake from 2009. It's still gorgeous!
And the fact that the Nintendorks social group used to be like a chatroom. I know I would sit there for hours on end just refreshing pages and there would always be a new post waiting. xD If we weren't kicked out, I reckon it'd still be the same.
PS: DELETE KEY IS BETTER THAN BACKSPACE. That is all. :3

Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
Many fond memories of us annoying Delphy. Some of my best memories are from the super mario project, which Raps is going to finish lest we finish him. *stare of doom and kittens*
I remember back when Lew and Nina were like... BFFs. *quietly misses Lew* But I also remember when Claire and Becca and Cass joined and I was like 'dawwwww! they're so little and cute!' (for some reason I always view you guys as short >.>)
I also remember Sparkle stealing my cookies. But it's okay, because that is what sparkles do.
Liz will someday be TheLiz and sing about hamburgers. And it will be all my fault. WIN!
Meeting in DC: Awesome. Vampy and Ivy were awesome, and Raps got me pregnant with a flower pot. Also: DO A BARREL ROLL! XD
I still have TJ's socks. He's not getting them back.
Davey will be, now and forever, my gay boyfriend. <3
For some reason, I remember really well when Ri and I were in great moods one day and were acting silly and Sheeba comes in and makes it even sillier. XD
Twi is like... super huggable. Have you hugged a Twi today?
And Waaaaaaaally. New people are awesome! But now he's old and officially 'one of us' *sinister music* so now everyone can call him an old fart and makes jokes about dinosaurs. Welcome to the club! We have free ham pancakes and ham cookies!
Every single Nintendorks, even the ones I didn't mention here, you are AMAZING and SEXY (only with your clothes on, dear lord, have some shame) and WONDERFUL. And you have changed my life. You are also extremely weird.
*pulls out bat of love and friendship* Every whack with this is a sign of my love for you. *pulls out bat of not washing behind your ears* Every whack with this is a sign that I am excessively violent on Thursdays.
You guys are all awesome, and I can't tell you how much all of you mean to me. Well, actually I could, but it would be long and awkward and sappy and I don't have many synonyms for 'superawesomehamcookielicious'.
And ham cookies to all! And to all a good night! *plays Christmas music*

Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
2 months of memories! Feels like over nine thouzand years! :3
I remember chatting with Cass on Yahoo at first, while Twitter-ing with Becca (who should show her pretty face and sing more often on Skype), and then Liz told Cass to bring enlightenment to me by introducing NI.
Apparently I'm more identifiable as a black middle-aged Dutch, according to WWW. (who's a bossypants obsessed with Kuroshitsuji, loves The Broken Tool and loves me, obviously. >:3)
The Liz is, well, The Liz. I'll try to hang out with you as soon as I get there, before your fans and bodyguards destroy me. D:
I didn't get to see Raps' happy moments too often, but when he did show his happy, he was like 8D. And he needs a haircut, still.
Davey is awesome.
Nina is still super lovely. I want to hug her every time she makes a comment anywhere!
Ri, TOR-- nadoes! ;DDD
And lots of innuendos, gutterballs, silliness, smartass-ness.
Hey guys, have you guys heard of The Sims 3, that ga---

Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
Ah, the fond memories. So, soo, soooo many. So many that they have taken the place of some very important school work that I should no, but frankly my dear, I don;t give two shits. Hmm, I messed up that quote, didn't I? ANYwho, on to my totally awesome rabblings that will soon be the only thing left of my mind.
First memory:
Signing up for the MTS group because everyone there seemed like they were having so much fun, and with complete nonsense. And on that fatefull day, I knew I was signing my own admittance into an asylum. So...GLEE!
Next Memory:
Despite having a crown for an avatar, Raps is in fact a dude. That was a mind fuck in itself right there.
And it goes on...on on and on.
Like Nina's transition to a vampire, the girls club dispute, Secret Ninjas, 30 pages of threads over at MTS. Then we were seen as a nuisance on the community and shunned to an abandoned island off of the coast of SimCity, where the lewsharks swim freely and frequently and where the ham cookies grow likecockroaches, dandelions in a cool breeze.......like ham cookies.
So we started to build up are small, desert island until we reached the thriving, self sufcient city we are today. Hell, we even solved world hunger, found a 100% pollution free way to live without losing any of our beloved...everything, and even found a way to keep cowlicks away, but since we were exiled, we can not share our advances with the world. teehee
We lived, untouched, in our Utopia for almost a year, when we invaded by imposter nintendorks. Nintendorks who wish to talk about bewbs and beer, whilst we stared on with huge innocent eyes as they defiled our great land with their talk of seriousness. Bewbs are win
So Sir Raps came forth from his great castle and spoke mighty words:
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS"
No, that wasn't it...
O RLY. YA RLY. NO WAI!!
Closer....
Madness???? THIS IS SPARTA!
SOOOOO CLOSE!
Madness???? THIS IS SPARTA PRADA!
Meh, close enough.
So Sir Raps uttered these words and the nasty trolls returned to their poo cover kingdom that they were removed from in the first place. And so we returned to our Utopian society
And here we are today, Nintendork Island, the most beautiful, luxurious and most screwup place in the world. Siiiigh, home sweet home.
I love every single member here (even if I say you name wrong, Rye. :3) and I so glad we were crazy enough to be forcefully removed. And super glad that I got to met some of you, for realz. And that you didn't rape my sister and I, that was quite courteous of you.(I'm looking at you Dubja) We need to make an homage to the Hellevator. Oh and milk cheese.
And Red, Davey and I made a porno. That was win. This family does indeed have two creepy uncles.
Where will we be next year at this time? Hopefully,in a bucket hanging from a lamp post in an alley somewhere off the road to Nowhere.

Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
Oh, and *Flashy Things*
And I leave you with wise words from Liz...
1 + 1 = 2
2 is the number of eyes I have.
Eyes are used to see things.
Things are also called "objects".
Objects are always being made.
Made sounds just like "maid".
I don't have a maid.
I don't want a maid.
A maid is someone that cleans your house.
A house is a place of living.
Living is being alive.
Alive is not dead.
Dead plants are usually brown.
My hair is dark brown.
Dark is usually what it looks like at 2.00AM.
2.00AM is around about the time it is here at the moment.
Time zones are confusing.
Confusing a pokémon is easy when you use an attack like "Confusion."
Pokémon is a television series.
The television is also known as the idiot box.
A box is usually a cube shape.
Shapes surround us in every day life, even if we don't realise it.
Our surroundings normally surround us.
Normally means usually.
Usually, I get out of bed of a morning.
Morning is when the clock says AM.
AM means ante meridian.
I probably spelt meridian wrong.
Wrong means not right.
Right is the opposite of left.
I am left handed.
We use our hands to type.
Typing is one thing I am failing at this moment.
Fail is the opposite of win.
Win is good.
Good is something you'd like to be.
Like is the opposite of dislike.
Dislike means that you don't like something.
You is the opposite of me.
Opposite is a word.
Words are sometimes hard to spell.
Hard is the opposite of soft in some cases.
Soft is kind of like cushy.

Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
Oh memories memories... You know I LOOOOOOOOOVE threads like this guys!! I remember every single moment since I joined Nintendorks social group in MTS back in April 2009. It was a warm afternoon of Spring.. BLAH BLAH BLAH.
I think you all know how it started for me right? Me lurking at Lew's posts to find out the existence of Nintendorks, where people were having serious and non-sense fun But I want to tell my memories in other way...
Once upon a time, a lonely girl called Nina had discovered short time ago the life that resided inside her computer. But one day, following the jester of a small town, Lew, a person full of awesome moments to share, she was lead to a magic Kingdom, a kingdom full of joy, non-sense, fun, friendship and happiness whose people called themselves Nintendorks.
The king of this magic place was called Raps, and he didn't know he had founded the most epic kingdom in the Internet (and outside, of course). He was also the alchemist of the town, and with his hands of gold, he was able to do the most perfect meshes. He was also one of the best people she could ever meet. The queen, called herself WWW, but later she was also known as Dubja. Behind her kick-ass cover, she discovered that she was one of the sweetest people she had ever met. Living in this kingdom, there were all kinds of colorful characters, and others that appeared later, attracted by the smell of ham cookies. Ri, a brave tiger always caring about people, Vampy, who was really similar to her, full of madness and the most epic heart, Fergus, a really crazy guy with a huge heart, Dakota, an artist so transparent and sweet that she could see the world through him, Liz, one of the most amazing people she would ever meet, able to have a smile for other people when she had lived the worst things, Angie, Ally and Alfie, that became the sisters she never had, TJ, a great and helpful person, Sayde, an amazing guy with a really similar view of life to hers, Cass, who was always there to listen to her, Shelby, that made everyone laugh even when they were sad, Davey, a great guy who helped her even when he didn't know her and who would become her husband later ;D , Ghost, a really great person with a huge heart, Becca, a really sweet and lovely person, Twi and Tay, with whom she shared her love for architecture, Ivy, as her sister, a person full of madness but great at heart, Sparkle and Claire, who she would get to know better in a near future knowing how awesome they were from the time she had talked to them and finally.. Wally, one of the most epic people she would ever meet. Her new shiny brother.
In this magic kingdom of happiness, she grew in age and in heart, thanks to all the people that were around her. And they lived happily forever.
I love you guys, so much. You can't even imagine how much I love you *hugs all* My life wouldn't make any sense without you.

Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
I really didn't think of myself as a Nintendork. I saw the link for the group in Rap's sig, but I didn't join because I didn't think I would fit in. Then on another site I saw a picture of Shadow labeled "Sonic the Hedgehog." I politely posted, letting the person know that it was actually Shadow, and his response was "There's more than one hedgehog?!" Then there was the incident where I could tell the difference between a Jolteon and a Pikachu... I realized that I might know something about Nintendo games after all, even if I'm no good at playing them. I joined the Nintendorks social group (the only one I was a member of for a long time.) and about 3 months later Delphy started making it known that this group was becoming a problem. I remember the move to this place, and the invasion. (And Feld the troll. I used his name for the troll I made in SIms 3.) I even remember discovering that Pescado is a Nintendork, too. And the banner that Raps had up last Christmas when I was in the hospital was sweet.
Along the way, you have all become very special to me. If I tried to tell you each how special you are, this would be too long to read. I love you all very much.

Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
Who remembers thiiiiis?
- Spoiler:
- Chapter 1: Left Behind
Sayde sat alone in the sand, shuffling his feet around. He looked up, and saw once again the ship leaving him behind. He squeezed his eyes shut and forced back tears, trying his hardest to pretend it wasn't happening. The water was clean and clear, a pale blue, and the sand was almost white. The palm trees sighed as the wind blew around them. Sayde had a Captain Morgan Black Label sitting beside him, slowly emptying the longer he stared at the disappearing cruise ship.
The sun sank, and the moon arose.
Sayde woke up to the pain of sand crabs nibbling at his feet, and shooing them off realized the sand that accumulated in his hair and pants. Trying his best to empty the sand, he looked for the bottle that was giving him his only comfort. It was half buried in the sand, and almost as dry. Sayde sat down on the dark beach again, and noticed that the boat was long gone; only the moon shone, illuminating the sky to a deep blue.
Angela sipped her martini through a straw and stared out at the ocean. She was dressed in a lavish, long black dress with an open back and seducing leg slit. W caught sight of her and wondered why she wasn't inside, at the party. Joining her on the deck of the boat, W quietly spoke, "You okay?" Angela seemed surprised that she was there, and blushed, ashamed W had caught her in such deep thought. "I just wonder if we should have left him behind."
"Who? Sayde?"
"Yeah... He doesn't seem like he could fend for himself out there... alone."
W sighed, and leaned against the railing of the ship. "It's not our fault he doesn't own The Sims 3. We had to move on. Sims 2 Island is sinking and we just don't have room for people who don't have TS3." Angela's eyes filled with tears and anger.
"But we had room for the espresso machine! We had room for the karaoke machine! Dammit, we even had room for the Cowplant!! We just, LEFT HIM THERE!" W backed away, thinking it'd be best if she were alone. Fergus came out into the brisk night, looking for W. "There you are." He said, smiling. W smiled softly and was walked back into the party in the arms of her date.
Nina watched the party from afar, a weary mother ashamed of her son. She was dressed in her best, yet she looked awful. Lew pulled and gnawed on his leash, begging to get out. "No honey," Nina said weakly, jerking the leash back, choking Lew. "You can't play tonight. The grown-ups are having fun."
The party was amazing, even without Sayde there. The dancing and music made Angela smile, the small movement of her lips made her forget her worries, as she swayed back and forth, dancing with Elephant. Nina felt flustered with embarrassment and flirt as she slow danced with Aled.
Rod Humble was wearing his Bishie Gawth suit. It was rare that he actually got to go the the parties he hosted, being the captain of the ship, but an associate of his took over for the night, allowing him some free time. He wore a cute spiked collar, form fitting torso, and a sleek, evil white tiger to top it off. Dancing elegantly with VOD, his tiger roamed towards a worn mother and her child. Lew was busy dribbling and sucking his thumb when a giant kitty sat in front of him. "Kitteh!" he said. Nina jerked the leash back. "Shoo, you fowl animal." The tiger frowned at this, and moved on, sure to claim his prey later.
Sayde walked through the cool sand towards the flames of campfires. The wind was cool against his cheeks, but his heart was heavy with grief. He was alone, or at least until he got to this damned fire that seemed to be getting farther away with each step. Finally he arrived at the fire. Some non-Nintendorks sat around the fire, dirt on their faces, but beer in their arms. "Hey ya'll..." Sayde announced. GreenDaySim looked up. "SAYDE!!!" She promptly glomped him and sat back down next to her picture of Gerard. "Hey GreenDay..." Making himself comfortable near the fire, Sayde wondered what most of the Nintendorks were doing upon the ship.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the island Raps was viciously fighting off a swarming flock of lavalamps that resolutely refused to be lit. Cursing under his breath every time he beat one down and it came back to life and back for more, he idly wondered what had happened to half the island's population overnight. He had only been gone for about 6 hours, and when he came back WWW, Zim, and many others seemed to have disappeared into the polygonized air. All that remained were these little slips of greenish paper that looked suspiciously like ticket stubs, but for what he had no idea. Interrupting this thought was a particularly large specimen of Lampy Fourlegs hurtling straight at his face. After fighting it off, he realized that there were yet more lamps arriving every second, none of them lit. Screaming a battle cry and plunging at them headfirst armed with only his wits and a few word of wisdom from the long-gone Numenor, he fought on.
Wandering over like a toddler to the enormous crowd, a 3 foot high white tiger walked in front of the 4-year old Lew. Ri the tiger grinned, Lew smiled like only a 4 year old can and yelled "KITTY!" Left unattended by his mother for a few moments, he hugged the tiger and buried his face into the fur of its neck. "Pretty kitty..." Lew sighed. Ri gently picked Lew up with his teeth and set him on his back with cat-like grace.
Click. Click. Click. The sound of the large cat's claws echoed down the halls of the empty cruise ship. All others were at the party, while the toddler and tiger roamed the corridors freely.
Chapter 2: All Things That Glitter are Not All That Golden…
W was sitting at a table on the abandoned side of the ballroom, clearly deep in thought. She was wondering about those left behind, and how they would fare with their population and resources cut in half. She knew that the resourceful ones such as Peeps and Raps would be fine for at least a little while, but she questioned the survival of the weaker members of their once powerful tribe. The tribe had protected the weak from starvation and death. Now, she thought, they'll really be in for the fight of their lives. She knew that some she had once known and loved would perish alone and cold, and though this bothered her, as long as it was smooth sailing on her end she would try to push it from her mind. Just then, the lights went out, and the comforting hum of the ship's engine faded to a small buzz before finally stopping altogether, leaving the party goers in shock. The room was silent for a few moments before the hum began again and the lights came back on. Seconds later captain Rod Humble's voice came over the loudspeaker. He said "Sorry about that, no need to worry. We just had a slight glit..." and the power failed again. Once more, it came back on for a few seconds before failing again. This repeated itself over and over, and eventually the power didn't come back on. People started to panic as the sound of rushing water became more and more audible...
Some engine facility on the ship...
"We don't have the power! We can keep the ship running for a little while, but the ship is just so energy-intensive that the motor can't handle it. We'll have to wait for a service ship to bring us a new engine. In the meantime, we'll just have to tell the passengers to stay calm and just try to relax while we wait."
"They won't like that."
"Yeah, but they're such big suckers for this cruise they'll be willing to wait."
"Okay, it's your head, not mine."
"Do you hear that?"
"What?"
"It sounds like.....water....."
Back on the island, Sayde swallowed some wine and stared at the fire. Him, GreenDaySim, DeadBlood, and some other non-Nintendorks sat around, talking, laughing, glad to be on The Sims 2 island. The sound of shuffling sand filled Sayde's ear. He turned around to see who it was and gasped.
Shattered glass and metallic parts lay strewn all over the beach. The lamps refused to light, so Raps just decided to destroy them all. "Now to find out where everyone went..." he said.
Fergus kissed W lightly on the cheek and excused himself, telling her that he needed a bathroom break. Walking down a southern corridor, he found an empty room, free from surveillance. Fergus pulled out the cell phone. Without dialing, a voice whispered, "Have you killed him yet ZimZ?"
"No," Fergus said, replying to his codename. "I'm stuck dancing with some girl." He said, thinking about W's sweet face.
"Get rid of her, she's just an obstacle."
Fergus bit his lip. "It'd be a waste of resources sir!"
"I don't care. Kill her Zimz, or you will be eliminated."
Chapter 3: Things We Take for Granted
Three days earlier...
W was storming around her and Raps' apartment overlooking the port where a large green cruise ship was moored. It had arrived amid much pomp, circumstance, and balloons. The day it had arrived, W had gone over cautiously and skeptically to ask about what exactly the cruise would be like and where it would go. The captain, who seemed slightly like he was hiding something, explained all the exciting things she would see and experience on the cruise, slowly luring her in like a fish on a line until she bit and bought 2 tickets spur-of-the-moment. The way she figured it, once on the ship they wouldn't be coming back so they wouldn't be needing this island's money anymore, so it was okay, right?
As she had walked back to her apartment she debated how to present the idea to Raps to leave forever this island of lesser quality and scenery for bold, new uncharted waters and lands where they could roam free from their house out into the world. Casually punching a passing ninja in the face, she decided to just tell him straight-up that she would go with or without him and hope that he would follow her out of their friendship. As she was walking up the stairs to their floor, her anxiety rose and she wondered What if he refuses? I want to go, she thought, but what if he doesn't? Will I be able to convince him? What if I can't? She contemplated calling her friend Angela (who had been excited about the cruise since she first heard about it months earlier) to ask what she should do, but thought better of it because Angela's idea of convincing someone involved a brick and a 5-foot long rope. W had now convinced herself she wanted to go, it all seemed so glamorous! But first, to convince Raps. Gotta do that before I can go, she thought.
Walking into their apartment wearing her best smile, W looked at Raps sitting on the couch. He looked back. She continued to look. This went on for several awkward moments before she broke the silence by clearing her throat. "Well?" Raps asked. "I...well, it sounds nice..." W stuttered, seeing the skeptical look on Raps' face. She went on to repeat everything the captain had said as verbatim as she could. Afterward, she asked him what he thought. "I'm not impressed. I think I’ll stay, I can do more interesting things right here on this island. And I'm used to it." W's heart fell about 30 stories through her chest and smashed into her pelvis like it was a sidewalk.
"Wha...?" she asked.
"I'm just not interested right now." Raps answered. W just stared into space with a thoroughly devastated expression on her face.
"All right, what is it?" Raps asked.
"Wh...what do you mean?" W lied.
"I can tell, something's wrong. What is it?" demanded Raps.
"Nothing...it's...it's nothing..." W tried to cover.
Sighing, Raps got up and started to walk down the hall to the kitchen but before he had gotten the whole way, W shouted "I'm going whether you do or not! I have tickets already, and I want you to go with me but I will go without you if I must. I want you to come with me..." she pleaded. Raps looked intently at her. "I'm sorry, but I just can't leave yet...I'm so used to it here...I love this island and the thought of leaving forever is too much. Why can't you stay? Nothing about that cruise sounds that great...wait until the next one comes and it's better!" he said. She shook her head, tears in her eyes. "So many of my friends are going...I have to! It looks so great!" she stated. Raps simply turned around shaking his head and walked to the kitchen to fix dinner.
Now here she was, storming around the living room trying to figure out how to convince him. She was so mad at him for not agreeing to go! She loved this island as well, and felt a small twinge of sadness at the thought of leaving it forever, but boy did the adventure that cruise promised sound great! She wanted raps to come so badly...
Meanwhile, across the island's capital city of Pleasantview, W's friend Angela was having a similar battle with her fiancée Sayde.
"Why not?" she screamed.
"Because we can't afford it and this island is home, that's why!" Sayde rebutted.
"We only have to afford it once, and our money will be useless over there anyway! Let's just go! Everyone will be in the same boat once we get there, literally!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm not going!"
Angela threw her hands in the air and took a lap around the room mumbling to herself. Watching her, Sayde wondered if marriage was the best thing to do, but then he remembered how much he loved her. This thought was interrupted by the TV. The "Breaking News" theme played briefly, and just like it was designed to do, caught the attention of all those in the room.
"We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you this urgent breaking news. Scientists at the University of Desirada in Bluewater Village have discovered that the supposed rise in sea level is truly happening. they predict that at the current rate of sea level rise, the entire island will be under water in a little over a year. The cause of the alarming rise is unknown and is baffling all researchers studying it. They say to remain calm and that they will be working around the clock to find the cause and see if it can be stopped. We will bring you any updates on the situation as they happen. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming."
And so it did. Such an absurdly mundane ending to such an outrageously catastrophic announcement. The two stared in shock at the TV, not even seeing that it was playing their least favorite show "All My Plantsims." But they weren't watching it, just staring. Staring because their lives had just been shattered, shattered in a little over a year. Snapping herself out of the stupor she had just been shocked into, she looked at Sayde and said, "How about now? Are you willing to go now?" Sadye just stared back with the same expression he had worn when she had first announced that she was going. Angela knew what that look meant. He still wasn't going to go...
Back in the Present...
W was still sitting at that one table she had been sitting at before. The lights were still flickering and the power was still whacked up, but all the sane people had gone off to bed, including her date. When the captain had announced that they were dead in the water for a few days, most people gave up and decided to turn in for the night. But W was thinking, and wondering. She was wondering if what she had done to Raps was cruel. She had wanted to go so bad that the anger of the moment took over her actions and she had...
W let her head slip off the hand it had been resting on and hit the table, making all the martini and wine glasses jump a bit. She let out a small groan and a swear, wishing she hadn't done what she did.

Re: Two Years of Memories...What do you remember?
HAM COOKIES! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
Hai. So aside from the truckloads of vegan ham cookies*, my favorite memories would be (in order I remember them):
Finding out Raps is a dude. (WTF???)
Finding out that Nina's screen name is Hi I'm Nina** backwards.
Lurking all 5 billion and forty two pages of the SMSP thread.
Annoying Raps with posts of "Any new updates?*** in the SMSP thread.
Joining the two group workshops. And then failing at said workshops.
Realizing that I STILL haven't gotten to participate in the Secret Ninja.****
The entire MJ2004 soap opera.***** It's hilarious. It really is. Go back and read the entire thread. There's like half a page of her talking to herself.
Being everyone's friend on FaceBook and realizing that you're all REALPEOPLE!!!!!.******
Bugging the heck out of Canoodle on the CFF, then migrating to the group and bugging the heck out of Delphy, then moving here and... Who are we bugging now?
Getting busy with life, dropping of the face of the earth, logging back on months later saying I'mma gonna start posting again!, posting twice after that, lurking for two days after that and once the next week, then falling off the earth again.*******
Attempting to chat with you guys. You guys type REALLY fast. Like squirrels on PCP.********
Meeting all these FREAKING AWESOME people!*********
All the thread games!
Did I mention Ham Cookies?
I'm sure there are five kazillion other things, but it's 2:00 AM and I can barely think even when I'm not tired. So I shall wonder off for now but if I think of something else********** I'll post it laterz.
*Failed bocca product.
**But in Spanish... Or French. Where is Madrid? A city in Tokyo?
***About 5 billion and forty pages worth.
****I missed it. Twice. Fail.
*****1. Or whatever her name was. 2. That was more of the Teen group, but still.
******Except for Ri. He is imaginary.
*******Thank god for FaceBook, right?
********Seriously, I open a new window for two minutes and y'all have changed the subject 5-200 times.
*********Not you. *glares*
**********I will as soon as my laptop shuts off. No lie.
Just reading those last 10 lines is quite interesting.

Apparently we bug some of the other Nintendorks. That was what -caused- the invasion. And Feld the troll. So we are continuing the tradition of bugging someone after all!
