Speaking of learning...

As I said in my last post, you can learn a lot of things online.  I belong to a few groups on facebook and was introduced to this site by one of them.   https://diy.org/skills 

There they have a bunch of skills and badges you can earn.  For some reason, I love earning badges and no, I was never in girl scouts.  I just feel more accomplished if there is a goal.  I was thinking of signing up and tackling some of these skills.  I mean, why not, right?  It'll be fun!  Learning new things is always fun.  (^_~)

I'm just not sure which one to go for first.  hmmm...  If and when I decide on one, I'll let ya'll know.  ♥

Internet...then & now

While cleaning my room, I came across some old papers from when I had a website at angelfire.com.  These papers are like 15 years old.  All my html codes.  Sigh...I miss those days.  I had such a cool Sailor Moon fan site.  lol  Remember midis?  I had them on my site too!  My mom and I would go to the midi site and play them and have the other guess what the song was.  So fun 'cause some you could tell right off the bat and others, not so much.  lol  We definitely had fun w/ that. 

I remember when we first got online.  It was so magical.  My grandparents had brought us a webtv for Christmas one year.  I was so excited.  It was like a dream being able to go online and just search for whatever you want.  Webtv was really cool.  Just hook it up to the tv and go.  It was the first internet tv.  That's why I'm kinda confused as to why internet tv's cost so much.  Anyways, I miss it.  They had a chat called Talk City and it was so fun!  They had a trivia room.  That was so awesome.  I would spend hours in there and the Sailor Moon one.  You know what was weird...people were so nice back then.  Now, if you go into a chat room, it'll be nothing but creeps.  

Don't get me wrong, I still love the internet.  There's so much you can do and learn.  Seriously, I swear there is a tutorial video for anything you want to learn on youtube.  I've learned to make a few polymer clay items from videos on there.   :D

The one and only thing I hate about the internet: looking up things you use to love & have warm memories about only to discover, it really, really sucks.  Some things are better left as memories.  This usually only happens w/ old music that I use to jam to.  It's like, what was I thinking?  lol  (^_^)

I guess the internet is pretty much the same only faster and less private.  Yay?    

babies = accessories?

according to glamour magazine anyways.  looking through the april issue, i'm way behind, and they have the top 10 glamour dos & don't.

#1 ~ "It's Glamour's Accessories Issue - so why not salute the most-carried accessory since the dawn of time?  Here, a bevy of celebs with their ultimate piece of arm candy.  Too cute."

seriously?  arm candy?  most-carried accessory?  it's a baby for cryin' out loud!  for a magazine as forward thinking as glamour, this do seems a bit childish, so to speak.  i have nothing against babies but to think of them as arm candy or accessories is just ridiculous.  i mean when celebs were toting around mini dogs as accessories, people were complaining saying that a dog is a pet, not an accessory.  which i agree so why is it okay to call a baby an accessory?

i'm all for celebs being w/ their babies instead of them being w/ a nanny but i'm sure there's a better word to describe them than an accessory.  bad move glamour, bad move!

Pet Society photo blog!

I decided to do a photo blog and share some pics of my little pet and her house from Pet Society!  

If you click on any of the pictures, it'll make them a little bigger so you can see them easily.  

Enjoy!  ^_^

I have a lot more pics of rooms and Star in her many, many outfits.  As you could probably tell, those closets took awhile to organize.  I had to go through her chest of clothes like a gazillion times to make sure I didn't miss anything.  Worth it though, I love the color-coordination.  lol  ♥

Rant time!

Sometimes you just have to rant!  As you know, I've been blogging about trying to save Pet Society, cute little pet simulation game on Facebook.  I have literally been playing this game almost every day since I started 4 years ago.  I get bored easily and for me to play or do anything the same for 4 years, I must be really, really interested in it.  So it breaks my heart that once June 14th rolls around, the game will be gone.  My pet and her house and stuff, just gone!

What really pisses me off though is that people aren't signing the petition!  I'm in a group on Facebook that has over 31,000 people and yet the petition only has 17,763 signatures!  I know a bunch of people from the group have signed it but the numbers still don't add up.  According to appdata.com, there are still 100,000 DAU on the game!  It takes less than a minute to sign it.  If people love the game as much as they claim, why aren't they signing it?

EA is not even going to glance at a petition that only has 17,763 signatures.  That is less than half of what they are trying to obtain which is 50,000.  Do they really think EA will take us serious with such a paltry amount of signatures?  They aren't going to keep the game open for 17,763 people!  Even as a die hard fan of the game, I can't blame them.

I do wish though that EA would let us download the game.  I would even pay to have it on my pc and right now, I never want to buy another EA product as long as I live.  I'm so mad at them for deciding to delete the game.  There are other pet simulations games out there and believe me, I've tried them but they do not hold a candle to Pet Society.

I'm going to share the link to the petition, once again!  Please sign it.  http://chn.ge/11ffPmA  ♥

Role Models

Let's talk about role models.  There was, maybe still is, a lot of flack for Disney revamping Merida from the movie "Brave".  A lot of moms saying how the new image is more sexy and grown-up and how it's setting a bad example for their children as a role model.  Wait?  Hold on!  Back up there!  Setting a bad example for their children as a role model?  A role model?  Am I missing something?  I thought Merida was a cartoon character.  Let me look it up.  *few seconds later*  Wow!  Guess what?  She is!  Merida is a cartoon character.  I repeat.  A cartoon character!  

Role models should not be cartoon characters but real life people!  My role models were and still are, my parents!  Little girls should look no further than their own family to look for role models.  It boggles my mind that some parents are really up in arms about this Merida revamp.  I do agree that there was no need for them to re-style the character but do parents seriously think that their little girls will think they aren't worth it if they aren't as beautiful as a cartoon character?  

When I was growing up I loved Barbie and Disney movies.  I'm 33 now and I never once had an eating disorder or thought I wasn't perfect because I wasn't tall and thin like my dolls.  But, like I said, I had two amazing role models right next to me.  My mom and dad.  They always told me how beautiful I was and how special I am and how proud there are of me.  They tell me this stuff to this day.  

I'm not a parent but I was a kid and believe me, little girls won't feel like they are any less beautiful unless you tell them otherwise.  Revamping a cartoon character will not put anything into their heads until you put it there. Don't make a big deal out of it and it won't become a big deal.  It's as simple as that.  

Time is ticking!

With only a month left, this petition needs signatures more now than ever!  Come on people!  We still have time to try & save our game!  Let's save Pet Society!!

That horrible feeling when...

...you are super tired and just want to crawl into bed when you realize your bed isn't even made!  I'm not talking about it being messed up and you want to straighten everything out, I can sleep w/ that.  I'm talking about blanket and sheets completely off 'cause you washed them and were a bit tired/lazy from all the housework you did earlier that you put off making it.  Plus, my cat Jimmy was sleeping on the bed and I didn't want to disturb him.  Fast forward a few hours and yeah, that's what happened to me this morning.  Ugh...what a pain.  I'll tell you though, it was a dream sleeping in it once I was done.  ^_^

Haganai

Watching Haganai on Hulu+ and loved the Oreimo cameo in s1,ep11.  It took me by surprise and I had to rewind to make sure I wasn't seeing things.   lol
