I've never had a stone take me over 45 minutes. It could just be random, and not worth complaining about. In the thread about Shattered Hearts that was created before the update, the FAQ asked about the reward for the "game". Jagex stated that the reward wasn't anything huge, so that discouraged me from putting much effort into this rock collecting.

It's sad to see a MMORPG become less of what it is. Competition is what makes the game interesting, and keeps pricing decent. I personally feel it is a foolish choice to makes bosses instanced. The game is ridiculously easy as it is. We at least need the odd bit of competition to makes things more difficult.

Yet we were able to shoot airsoft guns around our school... This is way, way, way over the top. Better watch.. next time a kid is picking his nose, he might actually be pretending to put a gun up his nose, possibly motioning that he may commit suicide.... :wall:

200m+ getting 99 hunter with Grenwall.

Yeah, I'm working on finding out the overall reward. It's probably not too great.

You can just stand still for the construction stone.

Yeah the approximate xp is "current level x (current level-1)". I've got my 6th stone now.. I don't think I care to work on the construction one though. Did it at least make the sound, WIoneo? Nevermind.. it was sitting at the opening to my house. I wonder if I lost one earlier by not noticing.. and it made no sound... so amke that 7th stone. :thumbdown:

4 strange rocks now.. hooray?

Amma's Poem The end of days that lives within Found its way out after all The thing that grows under your skin Knocks you to your knees and makes you crawl We would all rather it us, not you Anything to keep you here No one could walk a mile in your shoes Losing you is what we fear Staying with you until the end Never letting go Prayers to god we do send Love for you can only grow One day the time has come We will always remember Sister, Daughter, Amma, Wife, Friend, and Mom We will love you forever. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was a sudden poem I made for my Amma (Icelandic for Grandma), when I found she was dying of cancer. The time spent on it was short, and the words were minimal, but the emotion was definitely there. I, nor my family can read it without reaching tears.

Thanks. I appreciate the comments. It'd be nice if everyone that read them commented, then I could get a better idea as to what people think, and if I should post more.

I remember watching the Chronicles of Rid[bleep] in theatres back in grade 8. I suppose that was about 6 years ago lol. It was an awesome movie, but I can't remember which one I liked better. I saw Pitch Black half a dozen times, but only COR once.. so I barely remember what went on.

Cut wood for $120 a cord, and in the winter commercial fished for a couple hundred dollars a day. This was when I was 14-17. My little 13 year old brother currently has a nice little job with the fish that wasn't available to me when I was young, as there was no market for the specific type of fish. He makes $30 an hour working in our heated, pump house, which we wired speakers into for surround sound music. Ahhh... to be a 13 year old making over a grand a week. :mellow:

The Storm The forecast was made months in advance, You can never be truly ready, but you always have a chance. That chance was mine - taken by me, The choice to stand while others flee. Wind picked up, air grew cold, Chilled to the core, the weather grew bold. The storm hit, I remained, I felt alone, Wind of frost meeting one as stubborn as stone, One who would not leave, One who could not move from home, Nomad I was not, nowhere would I roam. If not for the thoughts running through my head, Living off of hopes and dreams, I'd otherwise be dead. The wait was long, longer than one would expect, So much time to think, so much time to reflect. Answers were found to questions I never had, Happiness grew from things that made me mad. It's hard to say what went on that night, All I know is the wind did blow and the frost did bite. A dead silence woke me from my sleep, The storm had passed, no more could it reap. Like a phoenix from the ashes, I crawled from the snow, The world had not gone, trees still stood waiting for Spring to grow. What I had not forseen was this, Like a lost lover, the sun on my cheek did kiss. White flakes fall to the ground, Landing softly, making no sound. No feeling of wind on my skin, Ice covered lake, both fish and fin. I can see no one for miles, Yet I can't help but smile. You see, the calm before the storm is what people fear, The calm after the storm is what I am experiencing here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was a poem written about my friend, when she got out of a bad relationship with another guy and her and I started seeing eachother. My first poem I wrote with her as my inspiration. I believe this was written in early December. Into The Dark I wander out into the dark Into the quiet night A land without any painful mark A land without any painful sight My whole world has become black A change from colour and light I've been told to turn around and come back Been told that I am not right Why can't I stay out here? A place where your words have no bite My new home without fear A place where I can escape your fight This is where I will find my lover This is where we will unite So much left for us to discover Internal fire about to ignite This is where I will stay You were too short of sight Your tomorrow is another day My tomorrow is another night ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This poem was written in similar context to my first. This was written at a similar time to the first poem. I'd have to say a couple weeks later when things started to get more serious between her and I. The Artist I have a story to tell, It's written by you. In your mind it does dwell, My hand it comes through. Not written with letter or word, No use of text or ink. To life it is referred, You and I it can link. See what you choose, Choose what to see. You are my muse, You set it free. I can paint the past, Present and future too. See life through my tinted glass, See the sky in a deeper blue. You see, every thought is one of a kind. Talent can not be bought, but everyone has a mind. So use your mind, and use it well. If not, to the world you are blind, and without world there is hell. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This one was just written for fun, near the end of December. She painted a me a picture that was to relate to poetry, and I wrote a poem for her that was to relate to her painting. It was kinda thrown together one night for a good time. I'll Be There When your sky darkens from hurt and pain, I'll be there to kiss you in the rain. To hold you close when you are sad, To hold you back when you are mad. At the end of the tunnel, I'll be your light. For you I am always willing to fight. I'll be there to dry away your tears. I'll show you how to overcome your fears. I care about you for who you are inside. Around me there is nothing that you need to hide. Always at your side standing strong, Even when everything seems to go wrong. With every hug I can barely let you go, Every kiss different, like a flake of snow. These words are my feelings, plain and true. Trust in me, as I trust in you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wrote this poem around the beginning of January when she wasn't sure how she felt. She knew she felt strongly for me, but still had feelings for her ex-bf of 3 years. I understood this, but just reinforced the trust she could have in me. I also hand-wrote a very nice copy of this poem for her for Valentine's Day, even though we are no longer together. A Chance You might be scared, weary of the unknown. I know it's hard, doesn't yet feel like home. I felt it too, although at a different time. How much trust can you put in words of mine? Scared of the future, scared of what I might be? So much you don't know, so much left to see. Do you get what you see? Do you see what you get? Things seem so fast, we've barely even met. Compare and contrast, looking at the good and bad. Don't try to predict times that we have never had. Just live your life one day at a time. Give me a chance like I give my poem rhyme. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I wrote this poem in a time that she was uncertain about us. I know myself to be a good person. She continually told me that she couldn't see any bad qualities within who I was, and that's what scared her. She was scared for the future, scared that something bad would have to happen to even everything out. I personally felt it was ridiculous, but there is little to be done about that. Waiting I should be upset, I should be mad Then I think about the good times had You might not be here like you were before You might not be coming to my door Might be a while until I get a kiss Being around you is what I'll miss I only hope to see your smile Even if I have to wait a while I'll do just that, live with you on my mind The time I spent with you, god was being kind You've shown me a lot, I want to see more I wait to see what else is in store I hope you find yourself, I really do Then I hope you find me here, waiting for you Don't feel like you're holding me back You allow me to find what I truely lack So until that day, when my mind is once more read I'll be rolling one thought through my head Not sure if it was told to me, or something I just tell myself. Either way it helps me sleep, it helps me keep my health. You see, there's this funny thing about fate. Know that good things come to those who wait. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A couple weeks later we both felt that maybe she should spend some time out of a relationship, since she had spent her entire teenage life within one at one time or another. I wrote this poem within the hour after our decision. Know As much as I think you're aware, there's some things I want you to know. Reading this might make you scared, but this is what I want to show. Know that I don't mind standing out in the rain. Know that I'm not scared of feeling any pain. Know that I will protect you any possible way I can. Know that when others would walk, I'm the one who ran. Know that I can understand what you say and feel. Know that I am the one who's feelings are real. Know that everyday you teach me something new. Know that I spend my nights thinking about you. Know that I'll be waiting longer than a little while. Know that you're one of the few who can make me smile. Know that you're beautiful exactly as you are. Know that my words are true, and actions reach far. Know that I'd put you even before myself. Know that talking about things leads to good health. Know that it takes time to feel a certain way. Know that you have the time to reach that day. Know that I am not angry. Know that I have no regrets. Know that my feelings will last until my final sun sets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I wrote this one a few weeks later when she told me that she was going to try things with her ex again. It broke my heart because of the things that he did to her, so I just let her know how I truly felt, just so she could look back on it in the future and remember me. First Time Again I thought I loved you, thought I felt all I could. Told myself not to let it get stronger, even if I should. I was sure I had felt it all, from our first kiss to our last. We had lost our meaningful talks, watched you fade to the past. I noticed you were holding back, and I didn't make you stop. I didn't want to force you, even though it made my heart drop. We started talking again, feeling how it did once upon a time. Yet looking in your eyes, I could see you felt it was a crime. I held you close that night, the rules we did bend. Looked into your eyes, then we kissed for the first time again. I felt your heart beat quickly, as if you were about to die. I heard your breathing quicken, saw a tear in your eye. I know that you felt it too, a deeper feeling than before. Something unsuspected, you felt it to the core. It took our breaths away, it made me feel weak. We talked for a moment, then another kiss I sneaked. I showed you how I felt, and lips you did lend. We kissed once more, for the first time again. The feeling was just the same, even though minutes ago we had lived through that moment, and felt our hearts grow. After that, we said goodnight, tomorrow is another day. You let me know how you felt, removed the cloud of grey. I spent the next day thinking of you, thinking of what might be. Asked myself if anything changed, if she would come back to me. You said you couldn't despite what you feel, as if it wasn't your choice. I knew that answer could not to be real, that wasn't an honest voice. I came to see you that night too, whispered in your ear. I will always be true to you, there is nothing for you to fear. This time you turned your head to mine, and my lips I did lend. That night that we kissed for the first time, the first time again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ While her and her ex were back together, her and I still visited eachother. We happened to kiss a number of times. These were the first 3 moments that happened within 2 days after a couple weeks of not feeling the touch of one another. It was definitely a thing to remember. Never have I felt such a feeling with any girl I've been with. It was beyond physical and mental. I only hope to feel it with a girl again someday, and that she feels the same, as this girl did in that moment. Castle Lost in my world, lost in the light Found a path, a path into the night Left behind the heartache, left behind the pain Locked away the feelings that drove me insane Rebuilt my walls, in the fortress of my mind A castle in the dark, one only I can find Star filled nights, never interrupted by days Skies clear like my thoughts, no more cloudy haze Air crisp and cool, like a fresh spring rain Dreams sprout like flowers, beauty they contain I can see what once could not be seen One day my world will have both king and queen Someday I'll lead you here, whoever you might be But for now I live in my castle, my castle in the land of me -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This poem was written today. For the past week I have been able to be rid of my conscious feelings for her. It has been roughly 2 months since we stopped seeing eachother in any intimate way. I know if I think about her, the feelings will come rushing back. I know that I will never entirely brush this moment in my life aside, but it feels good to at least write it out and make myself think I can lock it away.

Heh, it was fun being there to watch that one Dharoker get owned. The vid is the best. Nice pics too, though. Keep at 'er. :thumbsup:

It seems to me that the combat triangle definitely needs rework before introducing such a powerful weapon. Mage would especially need a boost if that was the case. I would love it for monster hunting though. :^_^:

[hide] You always find better old muscle cars in the country. It's fun. [/hide] Yeah, it's amazing to find the diamonds in the rough, so to speak. :lol: Very nice choices Albel. I share your interest in the classics. The only hard part nowadays is finding ones without much rust damage which don't have a ridiculous price tag attached.

The little clip of a repitition is awesome. Also, it is categorised very nicely. Funnisam, I also liked how you categorised your workouts for the muscle groups. I was able to find a couple more that I haven't tried. This thread was actually of some help to me. Cheers! :thumbsup:

The most recent one was Lovely Bones. I plan to go see The Wolfman this week, and Shutter Island next week.

Bears when walking through the bush. I stumbled upon one when I was picking berries in a field when I was younger. It was sitting on its [wagon], brought down the branch and just chewed on it. Never even noticed me, but my heart dropped into my stomach, and I stupidly ran. Now I'm concerned with accidentally getting so close to one again. Although, we caught bears in live traps this past summer on our farm because they were killing our animals, so my fear slightly waned after having to be so close to them when transporting them.
