I think this is the, what, second or so year we've managed to keep this place alive? (barely...) Anyway, hope everyone had/has a nice x-mas and got some good gifts they've been wanting. All I wanted was a couple of PS3 games (they're expensive as hell though, $60 each), but I guess I was lucky enough to get at least one since we're on a tight budget at the moment. So yeah, I got GTA IV because it's been the funnest, most replay value-worthy game I've seen so far on the next gen systems, and online is awesome. If anyone has it for PS3 (doubt it, but worth a shot) PM me and we can add each other.

Merry Xmas to everyone!!
I didnt do to badly although Im still awaiting one gift from my uncle today. I think he will be giving me money which should then be enough to buy my PS3!! I already have about $500 - $550 cant remeber exactly.
So for my haul!! I got 8 books (hehe im happy. 6 manga and 2 by Tamora Pierce) a small jewellery box, a kool thingy that you can wear as a necklace or out in ur hair or wear it as a belt or anything you wanta hair clip, a really pretty broach, the complete collection of the TV series Angel and um....i think thats about it.... oh wait and a book mark with a pretty butterfly on it!! The rest was money!!
So I didnt do to badly this year, especially considering the current financial situation!!

Alright, sounds like you had a good one! You're really getting a PS3? What games are you planning to get? (I had to pawn most of mine a couple months ago, so I only have like...three?)

Hey guys, and Merry Christmas to you too, sorry it's a bit late but you know how Christmas time is; when it's not busy, it's REALLY busy.
Site has been going for a while hasn't it, I think we should really get motivated in 2009 and really bring this place to life.
I got books, CD's, gift cards and money, basically, nothing special but I appreciate the thought all the same.
Seeing the Twilight movie was pretty cool, like wow it's good. But not as good as the book, and people hype it beyond it's creds.

I saw Twilight a while back...and I agree, it's way overhyped. The story seemed like one big cluttered mess; you think they're going in one direction but they end up in another. And the main character acts like a selfish little snob who cares about nothing more than her own desires. There were several times when I just wanted to smack the little tramp...
It just left a bad taste in my mouth and IMO ruined the whole vampire lore.

I havent seen Twilight yet, Ive been trying to decide whether I should read the book first or not!!
Wow almost New Years!! My resolutions: Get into/ then do well in my TAFE course, motivate myself to type up my stories, try to help this place become more lively!!
I think we need to try and get the RP back up and going, maybe get some more people. And does anyone know what happened to Amazing??

Pay: Yeah I kind of agree with you about Twilight; I've only read the first book in the series and I really like it. I mean it's no Anne Rice book (the REAL vampire lore) but it's an interesting and enveloping read all the same. And I implore you to read the book more than once; if you disregard the fact that Bella seems to care more for herself than for others it becomes clearer. Also, she's just moved back to a town where she barely knew anyone, I think it's just because most of the people around her seemed fake or conceited.
And Sion: Your resolutions for the new year sound great! As for Amazing, he's probably off being amazing somewhere. I talk to him occasionally on MSN so I'll see if he'll come back and get into the roleplay.

That would be awesome!! Id really like for the RP to get going to again. I think its really great because you never quite know what will happen next and it allows you to develop your skills in a completely different way!!
