<p><p><p><p><p>What is no longer an option (and why?)</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Thanks for stepping in at the thread, btw. I was just getting to that myself.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Live the years of a minor while you can, friend :] Trust me when I say it's not fun having all the added responsibilities thrown on you as an adult, it's overwhelming!</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Well, what're ya gonna do? You've been helpful to me, too. All that time spent in All-Around and all...</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>*nods in understanding* Have you prayed about it, brother?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Who would I have steal the cookie for me...? Oh wait *glances shiftily around* I know who, nevermind.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Hey'a Sky!~ What's up?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>*prances around happily*</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Hey, it still looks nice :]</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, it's not a problem. Speaking of Shoddy, I can't wait until I get my laptop...be able to use Shoddy again (I'm not allowed to have it on the family computer, fam is paranoid of viruses and such >.>; ) I'm going through and fixing the PIDs right now, since I didn't realize they were off =/</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Now THAT I understand so much more than anything else in the world--when all it ever feels like is that you're praying to the wall. Or the ceiling. It's generally the wall for me, though. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p> My heart is never willing to hear much of what God is saying either. But it's like he's screaming through the wind, in those silent, heart-piercing whispers. Pleading, it seems. In my humanity I just turn and walk the other way, with tears dripping painfully. And when subtle rejection hits like that, so does the guilt, which Satan just LOVES to play with like silly putty. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Galatians 6:7 states ~ "Do not be decieved. God cannot be mocked. People reap what they sow." That brings me much comfort. Though we may be facing a valley...there's always the other side. The greener grass is out there, but we need to be willing to risk the pain of darkness to reach it.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Thanks. What have I done this weekend?! *mutters about not having a life*</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>*slumps in, leaning on a pillow and yawns* S'up Wraith?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>...How many times do I have to explain that I'm <strong>not</strong> leaving the forums? LOL</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Pretty good myself, as well. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Go ahead and assume, then, because truth is often ugly anyways. I don't really know why I've chosen you as helper...you just are.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>No, you aren't lol</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>No, not yet I haven't.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png" alt=":P" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Yes, and had I been able to delete the group myself, it would have been faster. Anyways, thank you for the help. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I've got it all re-created and invites sent out to the old members. All of those deleted discussions were gonna drive me crazy in the old one XDD</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p></goes back to cleaning her laptop in an OCDish manner></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Whatever keeps us busy, lol</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Well, right now I am reading "The Snaring of the Dragon" for Ancient Western Literature, "Psychology in Christian Perspective: An Analysis of Key Ideas" for Intro to Psych, and "In the Beginning" for my small group devotional on Thursdays...keeping myself busy in schoolwork. Other than that, I'm awaiting a call back from where I had a job interview today... =/</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>You and I both, friend. We're fools by nature, thanks to sin.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>It sounds just like a valley to me. Sounds quite close to how I was for almost two years straight, idling, and unable to move forward, only seeming to move back. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Then go for it! if you feel strongly about it, change your major, start again. Sometimes all we can do is change our path. For years I was so strong into the science courses, wanting to be a Vetrinarian, but then confliction come with wanting to be an author, and then an artist, and then a Vet again...and then the Spirit shook me in the wake of my depression and it was just eye-opening, and I haven't looked back. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Perhaps you need to do something like it? It sounds like you're trying really hard to stay where you're at, when something is tugging you, telling you to turn around and take another path. Create your own path, maybe.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I hear ya. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png" alt=";)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I'm only leaving as an active avatar-making artist.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Nothing, my friend. Unless you include the fact that I am now a HopeCoach.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>*dances on your page and glomps you randomly*</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>:]</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Hi.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I'm fairly anti-social too, but I guess I just have this pull...all of my teachers adore me...or at least enjoy me in their class. :]</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I didn't ever get it either...I made a myspace to stay in contact with my youth group and school friends, and then the majority of them switched to facebook because it was safer. For me, I'm just there to enjoy communications with my friends and family. And play games and learn more about people. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I'm one of the small band of Moderators over at their Send Pokemon and Pokemon Adventure there, although it's been slowly dying, so we all just hang out in the IRC most of the time now.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>It's just for communicating and fun, mostly. It's easier than email for me lol</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Yes, there's a reason why I have my birthday locked <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png" alt=";)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>lol @ Wraith. I told you one time that you're literally just over a year older than me <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png" alt=":P" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Happy birthday. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>You really learn how to step up your game in college...I'm extremely grateful that I was brought up to do my schoolwork before fun. I love my 3-hour Psych class...it's my favorite <3 Everyone else doesn't though, and they hate that I know everything. I need to be more humble about it x__x I've got people literally BEGGING me to test out. </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Only, this week there's no school Monday, so I'm thinking I'll get the rest of my work done now, and then get ahead in Psych, because our weekly reading assignments are generally over 100 pages. (We use the book I mentioned by Faw, then Psychology by David G. Myers and then applicable areas of the Bible) That's about double of my other classes, where we get maybe 50 pages every other day. ...Well, I guess that equalizes itself, but you get the idea.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>LOL!</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>You know how crazy it drives me that you're always in invis now? I'm always like "Okay, is Wraith on now or isn't he?!" heheheh</p></p></p></p></p>
