Well, if I need help with something on RS, it can take a bit of time to get the answer in-game. Here, I know that I can make a topic, ask a question, etc., and someone will (usually) always be on who can provide an answer or advice quickly. And everyone is generally very friendly with each other - I like the atmosphere. Please elaborate, what misunderstandings? I think Zierro is referring to the times when people get into debates. The whole "Well, if you read my post above... I said this and this and this, and I clarified this and such and such." --- "Oh, well, if you had read what I posted, you would know that this and this and etc. etc." That type of thing. He said/she said.

I used to doodle a lot in high school. Clipped a spiral notebook into my binder and used it for doodles and scraps of writing. I also love to do random doodles in PSP ^^; Not so much any more though. [hide=Face][/hide] [hide=Untitled][/hide] Odd, simple stuff ^^

Thank you all again for your kind words of encouragement and support. My visit to California went very well - I got back late Wednesday night. It was nice to see all of my extended family again, since it had been several years since my last visit. I only wish the circumstances for seeing them could have been different. The service for my grandma was very nice. It was definitely hard to be there. No one let me know that I was one of the pallbearers (for those of you who don't know, a pallbearer carries the casket to the hearst, and later carries the casket from the hearst to the gravesite) so that was quite a shock to discover. I immediately started crying when I had to touch the handle on the casket. I didn't help that my mom was sitting in the church pew across from me... Every time I looked at her, we would both immediately start crying fresh tears. But I made my peace grave-side, touched the casket once more... and walked away. I don't mean to get into much detail. At any rate, thank you all again for your help. - Serpent_Eye [hide=Obituary]If anyone is interested: http://www.legacy.com/bakersfield/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=122778842[/hide]

- - - This story is... odd. I wouldn't have the willpower to gouge out one of my eyes, let alone both of them. And I certainly wouldn't be able to eat them, I don't think.

Hm... it's quite hard to sum it up... Our family (my entire extended family... it's quite expansive, as I said earlier) has always been huge on family gatherings. While my grandparents still lived in their original house, all of the gatherings occured there. They stayed in that house until my mom and her sisters and brothers were well into their 40s-60s. Anyhow, we were always just... around them. Most all of my memories of my family take place at my grandma and grandpa's house. Holidays and birthdays and other special events. My grandma and grandpa were always so proud of the family that they had started, and we were equally proud of what amazing parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents they were. My grandma had such a loving heart, and she was quite fiesty at times! She didn't have any huge quirks or traits that made her stand out, necessarily. She was just a huge part of our family. Like I said, I can't really sum it up >.> Don't be so hard on yourself. I think what you felt (or, didn't feel) is quite normal. I came home from work bawling my eyes out after I was told the news. I walked into the door, and my older brother was sitting on the couch, playing Bioshock. He looked at me and said, "Hey." And... that was it. He dealt with being sad by... not showing that he was sad. Granted, he may have really BEEN feeling sadness inside... I don't know. But not everyone expresses grief the same, I suppose.

After recently training my prayer, I find myself in possession of upwards of 2k Ecto-tokens. What the heck am I supposed to do with them? >.< I can get into Port Phasmatys for free, so that's out. Should I just get rid of them buy spending them all on yeast? Or should I save them for when I go to Dragontooth Island? (For the record, I don't even know where Dragontooth Island is, or what it's for...) What have you guys done with your Ecto-tokens?

I would suggest you go with this. The price of flax is going to decrease heavily when Jagex releases the new "auto-flax picker" (dear lord...) this month. So you may as well try to gather and sell as much as you can now. As far as how much to keep in your coffers, I've heard it repeatedly suggested that if you're going to go a week before withdrawing your resources, you want to put in at least 1.4M

First of all, wth does this type of post go? O.o; Secondly, I'm hoping to find someone who has a POH w/ a banner and shield easle, so I can come and use them :D I'll come to your world if it's fine with you. It there a subforum I should be using..?

I'm so exhausted from that entire ordeal yesterday, and from a terribly chaotic night at work tonight. Being the case, I must admit that I'm too lazy to quote and reply to each and every one of you. :? Still, I read each and every one of your posts, and really do appreciate the concern. I think I was honestly just... I can't explain it. It just came so suddenly last night. I was in the middle of a crazy night at work, and this just broke me down. Talking to my sister and mother on the phone didn't help me calm down much either, as it just added to my tears. I woke up today feeling quite better, actually. Naturally I'm still sad over the loss of my grandmother, but I'm not nearly as distraught as I was yesterday. I've had the night to think it over and to absorb things. I'm not going to be, um, scarred from this I guess. Although I'll be sad from time to time, I'll definently be back to my old self within a week. I'm traveling to California Monday morning, attending her funeral Tuesday afternoon, and driving back home Wednesday afternoon. My mom is flying to California from South Carolina, so I'm very happy that she'll be able to connect with her family face-to-face in her moment of grief. More tears will be shed, no doubt as soon as I see my mom (I haven't seen her since February of last year to being with) but we'll all work through it as a happy, huge family. Again, thank you all for your very kind words of encouragement! I will do my best to make sure that I keep my grandmother's memory alive and well within me! Thank you. (Not to single anyone out, and to put one persons advice above the other's, but thank you, IGoddessI.)

Thank you both for your replies. Pyromancer - I'm not crazy devastated. I was just overwhelmed with all of these emotions at once. Like I said, this is only the second time I've dealt with a death in the family, and the first time that I've been affected this much. I think of my grandmother and I smile, because she brought everyone such joy. I'm definently going to remember her for what a great life she lived, and what a huge, crazy, loud and loving family she started! Rebdragon - Thank you. I've kind of accepted it now. And I wouldn't dream of trying to force myself to be happy. I was just hoping to help ease the pain somewhat.. I'll try to let it all wash over me though, and just go with where my emotions lead me.

:twss: This just goes to show you that I don't mage very often o.O I would go with this, over the Wizard's Mind Bomb... ignore my first post >.>

Drinking a Wizard's Mind Bomb temporarily raises your Magic by 3 levels. So, technically, you can have a magic level of 82, and cast Teleblock with the temporary +3 stat-boost. However, drinking it temporarily lowers your Attack, Strength, and Defence skills by 3 levels. Wizard's Mind Bombs can be bought from the Rising Sun Inn (Falador), The Lighthouse Store (Lighthouse), and the Toad and Chicken (Burthrope). Wizard's Mind Bombs can also be player-made, with a Cooking level of 34.

[hide=Disclaimer]I am hoping that this is dissimilar enough from the topic "The Greatest Grief" to warrant it's own seperate topic. Please lock/delete accordingly if it isn't.[/hide] Earlier this evening, Friday, January 9th, I received a phone call while I was at work. It was from my older brother. Sadly, and much to all of our surprise, our grandmother -- my mother's mother -- passed away around 8:30PM. I myself am unsure of all of the details, but my older sister was told by various family members that my grandmother had previously commented on what a nice day she had had. She was very tired, and laid down to take a nap, and passed peacefully. This is only the second death in my family that I have experienced personally. My grandfather -- my father's father -- passed away roughly a year ago. Although I was very upset by his sudden passing, it (sadly on my part, perhaps) didn't have such a profound effect on me as my grandmother's passing did. Perhaps it was due to the fact that my immediate family didn't often visit my dad's parents... I'm not sure. All of our family gather's took place with my mother's family, and we were all so proud of our grandparents. I completely lost it at work. I was filled with such an overwhelming feeling of grief and sadness, and strangely enough, a sense of anger. I and the rest of my mom's family (my grandparents had seven children, all of whom married, and had at least two children of their own... some of whom have children of their own now... needless to say, my mother's side of the family is... huge) all live on the West Coast; they all live in California. My anger was caused not only by the sudden loss of my grandmother, but by the fact that my mom lives in South Carolina, clear on the opposite side of the country. It angered me and saddened me further that she couldn't be with her brother and sisters, after they had just lost their mother. On top of this, I was somewhat angry because my sister is very far into her first pregnancy, and is completely unable to travel such a great distance this far in. I suppose, to make a long story short, my point is... how do you all cope and deal with grief? Have you found that the emotions you experience vary depending on how strong your relationship was with the person you lost? Do you, too, suffer anger on top of sadness and dispair? I feel somewhat better now, as I forced myself to stay at my work, and being focused on that helped me to calm down and get my feelings sorted out. But I know I'll feel like crap tomorrow again... and am just looking for advice from my fellow TIFers. Thank you all!

O wistful remembrance! Hm... some great memories for me include meeting my first long-time RS friends, Ichew and Bleed Blue. Compared to people now days, their combat and skill levels stunk... but back in those days, pre-RS2, I was awed. They were always helpful, especially Ichew. He was always willing to help me out, and to lend me the odd GP now and then. Another memory also includes Ichew. He was the only one in-game to offer to go with me when I did Dragon Slayer for the first time (It was very different back then o.O And a lot harder.) He rooted me on the whole time from outside her cage, and was a great moral boost! Another general memory involves suffering through some terrible RS updates and ideas... Fatigue, anyone? But probably the second-best memories, aside from my time with Ichew, involve playing with my friends Sonia and Panda. We always went on random adventures together, claimed a house in Falador as our "base camp," and had no problem making complete fools of ourselves. Panda had a strange likeness for Diango's toys, and Sonia... well, she took to alcohol pretty nicely :D I collected 100+ beer one time and gave it to her, and she drank them all in a row, and ran around acting drunk for the next week or so... Hm... a final memory would include when I became a member, and Ichew took me around and showed me all the places of importance. I miss him. :(

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I wouldn't go as far as some in saying that it was the best movie of 2008 *cough*Cloverfield*cough* but it was unarguably a really cool movie. Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actors, and on top of that, I totally forgot that Tilda Swinton had a small role in the film - when she came on screen, I sat up in my seat and quite audiably giggled.

[hide=Original post]Does anyone know of any type of CC for PMods? I'm trying to contact one in-game, and standing around in G.E. shouting "Any Player mods around?" doesn't seem to be working. :thumbdown: And IDK if this even belongs in H&A o.O Forgive me if it doesn't.[/hide] Edit: Hm... don't really need them any more.

True. Photography and guitar can take you really far in your life - well beyond being just a "hobby." You can make a career out of both of these. And while I don't personally consider watching TV and movies to be a hobby, don't give it up just because your parents are urging you to. If it's something you love to do, keep on doing it!

[hide=Off Topic] *goes into cardiac arrest*[/hide] Pick up a new instrument. I tickle the ivories from time-to-time; piano is a breeze to pick up, and you can easily find an inexpensive keyboard. Also, I recently got into spray paint art - not graffiti for the record. Spray paint on poster board. It's bloody easy stuff, if you're able to aquire a small supply of spray paint without any problem. (I'm well over 18, and even I have issues when trying to buy $60 of spray paint at a time. :cry: ). Reading ftw! Maybe buy a copy of Betrayal at Falador?

Forget the RL version! Let's just go around calling bullies "Def Noob!" or "Safer!" :twss: It would stun them so much that they would have no choice but to cease bullying you. - - - I don't see how self-defence is needed in a verbal situation. For me, I was verbally bullied - name-calling and all that jazz. It never once crossed my mind that I should have the right to beat my bullies up because of it... Sure, I may have imagined doing terrible things to them in retaliation, but I knew that it wouldn't justify my actions as "right." If someone is physically bullying you, pushing you around and stuff, then I think you have the right to defend yourself (and for the record, I say defend IMO, kneeing someone in the face and breaking their nose just because they called you a name isn't a defence - it's an attack.)

Ah... hm... I don't know his name, but I think there's an NPC that you can trade pouches you've made in exchange for shards. Edit: Aha! Found it on Tip.It: "Also, Bogrog, the summoning shop ogre north of Gu'Tanoth, will give some spirit shards in exchange for pouches (noted or unnoted)."

They're pretty fast range exp., and in the case of bronze darts, it's a cheap method, too. I used bronze darts at the Ogres in the combat training arena NW of Ard.

Rape =/= bullying. - - - On a serious note though, bullying is a very serious issue in most schools. I was bullied pretty much through all 12 years of my schooling. It's had a profound effect on how I act today, and how I interract with other people. :/

C'grats! - - - I had such a terrible night at work tonight. It blows when you're forced to work with people you cannot stand being around.
