Plushies By Request:
If you wish you can request for us to get in new special plushies that will go by the Special Edition Plushies. These are a form of limited plushies except that they are not just basic pokemon or pokemon sets. These plushies are from already made things such as fanfics, RPGs, ASB teams, maybe even your adopties could now have plushies of them. Before you go getting plushies from Fics or RPG's please ask the owner of the fic/rpg if they wouldn't mind you using their characters to get plushies. Plushies can be pokemon only. If you want plushies of your adopties or ASB team you may only request them if you want them to look a bit different, to have extra items (like a Pikachu might have a pink hat with purple dots) or if you make up the pokemon. CC Admins have any right to reject requests if they dont' meet the guidelines.

What's a Plushie?

By now everybody knows. But in case you're new to this forum or simply haven't seen them yet, plushies are imaginary soft cuddly toys that you can display on shelves, play with, trade, or even use as a sleeping companion. Only Charmander Central, Pokemon Hangman and Expedia may hand out plushies. You can build your plushie collection with getting one of the unlimited plushies first, then getting them every time they come in.

Discussions:

On this club, there should always be a discussion going on. This time, it will be about formality.
Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

[Wolfsong]

Its good to see this place back in business.

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

It depends on if i know them really well or not. If they are good friends of mine, then I pretty much treat them informally. Also I prefer to be treated informally, becuase thats just me. I don't pretend to be somethign i'm not and in general i don';t care much for fancy for fermale stuff. However, if a situation calls for it, I can treat and act formal, it just makes me feel awkward

Also about those special request plushies. Might i have one of my umbreon Kovu? ^^

Edit: Yay, I'm the first person to post in here ^^

[Lady Vulpix]

I have to go now, so I'll post more later. For now, Amy, thanks for posting, thanks for applying (as you can see, your name's already on the main post) and the Kovu plushie's all yours.

[Knight of Time]

Boy, am I glad this club is back.

This is a nice topic btw.

Regarding the way I treat others, I treat my former teachers formally, but I rarely treat my friends formally. I might treat them formally if I was upset with at least one of them. I can remember that one teacher in particular often treated me formally, calling me "Mr. Wightman" instead of Kyle at times. I don't mind it that much. I prefer to be treated informally because being called "Mr." can get annoying over time. This hardly changes though... 'shrug'

I could use a new plushie from this great place, since I lost track of what plushie(s) I got at the old Charmander Central. Could I have an Equinox plushie (I assume people can (still) only get one plushie here, right?) please?

Gabi, if you can make me (I probably won't be the only one wanting one of these plushies) an icon for an Equinox plushie I'd greatly appreciate it.

[Cheesey]

I've never seen this place, and I'm not entirely sure how it works... o.o;

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

It depends who I'm talking to, really. If it's someone like my mother, father, or a teacher or just someone with a high authority then I treat them formally. If it's someone else that I know, then I'm not very good at treating them formally x_x; I do however try my best, unless it's someone I really dislike ._.;;

I like to be treated with decency. Sure you don't have to be nice, and fair enough if I got on the wrong side of you have have every right to treat me less nicely. I do expect to be treated with respect if someoen doesn't know me - I'd do the same back.

If I'm busy I'm usually very absorbed in what I'm doing. If I'm free and doing nothing then I'll be nicer, when I'm busy I tend to... snap =/ If people woud warn me before they start talking to me when I'm doing something then I'd be okay.

Could I please get a Mareep plushie? It'll be of my Mareep, Lightning ^_^ No special features, just a plain cute 'n cuddly Mareep. XD

[LightNinetales]

Charmander Central?You said "Charmander" and "Plushie",Lady Vulpix....and I just love these words....


Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?
I don't treat people formally.(except my teachers)I prefer to be treated informally(well,I prefer my teachers to treat me formally) because when people treat me formally,it makes me nervous.

I have a question about the plushies:
Could I have a Charmander one?I love Charmander^_^

[Discothéque]

I'm very formal myself until I actually know someone, at which I loosen up to. So normally, if I'm just meeting a person, I'm formal towards them. However, if I've known them for a while, I'm somewhat informal towards them. I don't really mind if I'm greeted formal / informal, as it doesn't bother me which is chosen. And as I stated previously, it does change depending on what I'm doing, but since I normally don't introduce myself to people, so I'm mainly informal. ^^; But informal of the sense of not calling people by their last names, and no posh greetings and all that. xD

-

Same as Kyle. I've lost most of my older Charmander Centrel plushies, only remembering a few... [Well, I only remember my Lady Vulpix plushie, actually. xD]

I'll take one of the Honor plushies of Jay. =P Bwah, hah, hah. xD

[Espeon12]

I was wondering when this would come back. Glad it finally did. ^^ Now, on to the discussion...

I prefer being talked to informally. I have this thing where it takes me a while to become open to people, and formality can sometimes seem like a setback to me. It kind of makes me feels as though I'm not being taken seriously; that I'm being talked down to. I hate that. The students in my school talk to teachers a little less formally than in other places; it's become a sort of cultural thing to just call them "Mister" or "Miss" rather than including their last name. Sounds rude, I know, but most don't mind and have no problem talking to students in a friendly way. I have more admiration for people that manage to treat me like a normal person and respect my opinions informally.
I very, very rarely treat people formerly, unless I have a great deal of respect for them or it's an adult I've just met. I'm not rude or anything to people, but I hate not being able to act myself and formality just makes it seem as though you don't want to get to know someone. I've already mentioned that it takes a while for me to open up to someone, and if I'm not comfortable when I'm talking I probably never will.
I don't think I've been in too many situations where I've had to act especially formal to anyone. Sure, I'm not going to act like an idiot when talking to the principal or something, but I never get all that serious at most times. Of course, around my friends formality is nonexistant and with any former teachers we've had, we speak in an almost buddy-buddy kind of way.

I guess I'll start my Charmander Central plushie collection over again, and take a Charmander plushie and a Fall Gligar plushie, please.

[Hexae]

Alright, I'm a bit confused, heh. I'm new here. I'd like a special plushie that looks like my Opala, if that's okay. (Eevee with blue rings, blue eyes, half rainbow half white ruff, black fur.)

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

I treat my friends informally, because if I start talking all proper when they're talking casual, it's a real way to look like a nerd. =\ I prefer to be treated normally, aka formal. Same as on the internet. Sure, I'll say 'lol' if something is funny, but I use grammer, punctuation, and such.

I guess it does depend on what I'm doing. I treat my teachers very formally in class, etc, as well as my parents.

[Elemental Seribii]

I remember this! ^-^; I have no idea what plushies I used to have, though. Oo;

I usually prefer to be treated informally, because it usually makes me more comfortable with the person I'm talking to. Unless it's teachers, or adults I don't know, then I prefer formal. I usually treat people around my age that I've just met somewhere inbetween formal and informal, sort of like an old friend you haven't seen for ages, I'm not too sure why.
I only become really formal at weddings, and stuff like that, when there are lots of people I don't know in one place.

Could I take a Chikorita plushie, and if I can, a Bellosom too. ^-^;

[Mew Trainer Rose]

I remember Charmander Central I was never a member, but people mentioned it a couple times when I used to read Lapras Valley High. I was thinking about this club the other day, too. All i could remember about it was that you could get plushies. ^_^

as for teh discussion, I tend to be semi-formal with people I don't know too well. On the internet, and with people i know very well, like my family and close friends, I'm informal. I'm usually most formal around elderly relatives who I only see a few times a year. I also write fairly formally when I'm doing a paper for school, because they want you to have all the proper grammar and such anyway. On another message board where I moderate the Pokemon forum, I've recently seen a bunch of spammers posting junk in the forums, flaming people, and other spam. When i get really ticked off at them, I've noticed that I talk very formally, which I feel is because I would otherwise start yelling. Which would not be a good thing. And being exceptionally formal is a much-preffered alternative.

Ok, how does the plushie thing work? can we only get one per discussion or something? In any case, I'd like the Spring Bellosom.


Oh, and I was curious if I could make a Bellosom holding a basket of flowers, so I made this thing. The basket and flowers kinda don't look right to me, but i want so see what someone else thinks. What do you think, folks?

[Pidgeot]

This seems like an awesome club, so I think I shall join!

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

Normally I am quite a semi formal person. I am constantly notifing people of their grammatical mistakes, both online and in real life, and have a really bad habit of correcting peoples spelling mistakes. I dont do this on TPM (because most of the people here have perfect grammar and spelling) but several of my other online friends get really brassed off when our conversation consists mainly of: Its obviously, not obvusly. I would say, however, that ym grammar does change in certain situations. When I argue online, Im very informal. In some posts, Im informal. I prefer to be treated the waty I treat others, which is mostly semi formal, but with short, quick bursts of informality.

May I have an Equinox plushie, to start of my collection, if its not too much trouble?

[Jay]

Anyone I encounter that I've never greeted before, or even people I know whom will discriminate due to what I may perhaps execute, then you will habitually perceive that I'll handle the other populace more routinely ceremonial.

However I always attempt to shun this and want to feel more lenient around others whenever possible. Due to my persona this frequently doesn't work. I do feel more lenient around my parents and care-free, but in public and even around undergraduates/students I tend to feel overwrought. This is quite normal, it probably won't change any time soon, so I'll have to adapt to it rather than exonerate it wholly.

I treat everyone, on average, formally because I don't want to make an idiot of myself visibly.

Weird enough, I would not like to be treated officially all the time - that would be rather bizarre and lifeless. I prefer to be treated as someone who enjoys the company of brusque people - they can be very comical, which are the people I fancy most. Would this be the time to change? Not likely, it would just feel weird predictably.

The location and whereabouts would definitely change this. If I were in a more enclosed space with lots of people, I wouldn't act relaxed because I know someone will make me out to be the fool I am anyway. If it were more secretive then I wouldn't care how I act, since I know only one person would care, and one person I'm engaged on.


Equinox can be easily created with an ordinary Solrock and Lunatone - the spring one is old school plushie, one that I rather dislike. I would select the Fall Gligar, but I can't resist an Honor Plush of myself, so I'll opt for that please if I may. Nice to see this place back up.

[Lady Vulpix]

Christina, I see we have a lot in common!
I don't like formality, I feel uncomfortable with it and I feel like the person who treats me formally wants to keep me at a distance. I do treat others formally when it's required (cases in which the person would be offended otherwise), but in general I prefer to treat others informally (which doesn't mean I treat them with less respect at all, it means I tend to treat them as equals). I treat my students informally, and I was quite unconfortable when one started treating me by "usted" (that's a kind of treatment that doesn't exist in English, it's a formal way of saying "you"). As for correctness... What can I say?, my informal speech is gramatically correct and I do have the same habit Connor has been talking about, though I try my best not to offend people by correcting their mistakes. I don't think that has anything to do with formality, though.

Everyone who asked for plushies, gets them.

Yes, Kyle, you can still get only one limited edition plushie of each series. And yes, you can use the Equinox plushie attached to this post. I'm picking one of those too.

Nice image, Rose! I have another on my Items page from the last time we had it, but mine is smaller. I guess people can use either of those images. If you want to share yours, that is.

It's great to see so many people posting here. I hope the club remains this active.

Hey, I've heard of this place, now its nice to be able to join it^_^


Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

Unless its really required, I tend to treat people informally. I find that people are more likely to act themselves informally rather than feeling that they have to put on an act.

I definitely prefer to be treated informally. I'm very shy and if I'm treated formally I find that I have an even harder time talking because I feel like the person/people I'm talking to are judging me. Informally it helps put me at ease and I have a lot easier time communicating with them.

I used to act more formally towards my teachers though admittably, the formality did decrease the longer I was at my school, as I kept on getting the same ones every year, therefore I got to know them more.
Now that I'm in Sixth Form, the teachers treat you like normal human beings, which makes it a lot easier to speak to them informally, which as I've said, I prefer.
With everybody else I treat them informally unless it's required of me to be formal or I've only just met a person, and even then, the formality goes after a little while of talking to them.

Um, may I have a Chikorita plushie please?

[Wolfsong]

Something i didn't mention is that i do try to treat my teachers (current, and former) formally. Though there are a few that I am really close to now that i still call them Miss, Mrs. so and so, but other thna that thye are real good friends of mine and they give me hugs and all whenever i see them. Tey are always asking me how i'm doing, how my parents are doign, etc, so i'm sorta less formal with those.

I don't mind people correcting me when i make typos and such. I try and correct them myself, but i tend to miss some of the funnier ones that my friends pick up on and let me know *laughs at the ones that made the list* XD

Welcome to Charmander Central Sneasel(h)Obsessive. I hope you enjoy it here. You may have the chikorita pluahie.

[Yumemiru]

Ah, sweet memories.

I suppose I will return here. I have more time on my hands than I used to... sometimes.

When I first meet people, whether or not I react formally depends on the situation. If I meet someone who is considered a superior in some form or another, it's friendly but formal. Otherwise it tends to just be friendly. I'm a very informal person, and if you'll allow me to interact with you informally, I will. Unless I don't like you. Then I will always be very formal.

Of course, my TPM persona contradicts this. Here, I am usual formal, and only informal on rare occassions or with people I know fairly well. I suppose that just goes to show that online life is not necessarily reflective of reality.

I'm also the type of person who would love to walk around without certain articles of clothing. Modesty is a formality I like to live without.

I used to be an admin here. I helped mold CC into what it is today, or at least I like to think so. I admined Gabi. Though it was initially a temp-admin thing, I think.

[Lady Vulpix]

Welcome back, Amanda! Yes, I remember that. It was at the EZBoard, when Tara was taking a month's leave. Then, when she returned, she decided to make it permanent. And now that you've asked to be an admin again and I said yes, we have both admined each other.

[Mew Trainer Rose]

Sure, if people want to use my version of the Spring Bellosom plushie, they're more than welcome.

[PancaKe]

Heyz. Whatzup?! ^.^ nice to see this running again. I'l start my plushie collection again - I'l get a Jay plushie and a Charmander plushie plz!

*takes plushies becuz she is an admin of CC.*

Oh yeah, and for the formal discussion. I am so not formal. Like I'm totally informal with everybody unless I have to be. In fact, I dont even know if i know how to be formal. Seriously - I'm just myself, and i'm not a very formal person. I just like being myself and being who I am and if I'm not formal then too bad. I'm just friendly to everybody, teachers even. my teachers are evil because they made my class write lines for two periods straight when I need to learn so i can pass science. >

But thats a different story.

Oh yeah, Gabbi, my email is changed. Now my email is: punky_moo_monkey@hotmail.com so if you could change it on the first post then that would be appreciated.

Thanks!

l8rz dudes.

[pokemasterfrank]

:O Yay! It's back. This is one of the first clubs I participated in :o (I think it was the only one, at the time I joined TPM >_>)

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time?

I dunno. I think I treat adults formally and people around my age/younger then me informally.

Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why?

I don't really care. How they treat me is their decision. Informal or formal...*shrugs*

Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

Nope...though being called Mr. <insert last name here> sounds quite odd, lol

*sifts through list of plushies* I already have a Charmander...I'll take a Jay Plushie please, lol :o

[Matt]

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

I treat a lot of people formally; including teenagers sometimes. When I go to school, of course I call the teacher by their last name and add Mrs/Miss/Ms/Mr at the beginning. And I act formally towards the adults outside of my family since I don't know them too well. But on TPM I act informally to everyone a lot of the time. Even though I don't know them that much, it's just a habit of mine to act informally. Ah, it doesn't really matter if I'm treated formally or informally but I'm going to choose informally. I wouldn't like people acting formally towards me.. it's kind of weird. Yes, it would change depending on what I'm doing.

I would like an Honor Jay Plushie please and can I request a plushie? I want it to be a Matt loves Rachel plushie. ..what that is is a heart with Matt loves Rachel on the front of the heart. :O Thanks

[Everoy]

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

I treat people informally most of the time, and I prefer to be treated informally. Never changes, I hate it when people call me Mr. G******... And I really hate it when my worst enemy calls me Mister Romeo. So what if all of my friends are girls? *will be very lucky when he gets older*

[grabs Equinox plushie]

[Phantom of Innocence-BF]

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time?
Well, it depends what my mood is at that specific time and who I am addressing. But I think it's safe to say that most of the time I treat people formally. I don't really open myself up to a lot of people, mostly because I don't trust people in general. However, I do have two or three close friends that I joke around with. We fool around and make fun of one another all the time. XD I cherish the time I spend with them because it takes my mind off of everyday stress.

Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why?
Hmm, I guess I'd like to be treated informally (but friendly) because it eases the mood and conversation. I'm usually shy around strangers but if I really get to know somebody and we develop a friendship, then they can expect to be treated informally back.

Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing? Sure. It changes depending on my mood and the situation. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood to talk or take any bull from anybody.

May I have a Spring Bellossom plushie, please?

[DarkPrincess]

Do you treat people formally or informally most of the time? Which way do you prefer to be treated, and why? Does this change depending on where you are/what you're doing?

I treat a lot of people formally so they don't get a negative image of me. I'd prefer to be treated respectfully when I am around a crowd. I'll feel bad if people are mean to me. It doesn't change that much depending on where I am. Be nice to me and I'm nice to you. ^^;;

Could I have a plushie based on what I'm planning on making my own Persian into? Orangish goldish with tan stripes. ^^;;

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow, many people are taking Jay plushies!
Everybody gets the plushies they requested, including the two plushies by request for Matt and Rachel.

Rachel, the question was about being formal, not respectful. They're two different things. But I agree, that people should be treated with respect.

Welcome back, Tara! I've edited your info on the first post. Now we're all here!

Ok, any of the admins may come up with a new discussion topic now.

Oh, and Matt... Change your sig, please. It's offensive.

[PancaKe]

Helloz. Yeah, a topic? Oh erm..

Lol I hate thinking up of topics. But you know what, its holidays in Australia! I love the holidays. What do you guyz normally do on the holidays? I normally hang out with my friends n stuff, and we have so much fun! Today, first day of holidays, I hung out with my friends at the skate park and it was so cool!

Oh yeah and, also - what's one of the most emotion affecting things you've found out. By that I mean, whats something you've found out about something or someone or you, and that has affected you emotionally. Like for me, there's this situation going on between me and my best friend Adam. My other friend Beth is convinced he likes me, I'm scard to like him because last time it took 8 months of hurt to get over him, and I've started to like him again because he's been acting like he likes me. Today I found out he likes another one of my close friends, Rebecca, and wants me to ask her out for him. Or wanted me to, luckilly she wasn't home. But its been bothering me for ages, and I know its going to stick around for a while, and it HURTS!!! Augh.

Anywya - these are the two topics:

1. What do you normally do in your school holidays/What was one of the most memorable holidays you've had.

Or..

2. What is one of the most emotionally affecting things that you've found out?

L8rz dudes.

~Mist

[MarshmallowEgg]

Haha, I remember this place! Nice to see it up again!

2. What is one of the most emotionally affecting things that you've found out?

Oh jeez... probably when I found out in February last year that the guy I liked had a girlfriend. That was really bad. I was really depressed for, like, 2 months. What made it worse was when we kind of stopped talking altogether, which was both of our faults, mostly mine because I got really shy around him. I ended up getting sick from being depressed and stressing about it so much; I missed a week of school. I'm a lot better now though... and we're still talking (well, fighting, really; we fight constantly, but it's more play-fighting than actual fighting).

Oh, and before I forget, could I have a Spring Bellossom plushie, please?

[Jay]

I'm loved that people want my plushie, lol. *Huggles them all and throws CCPs at them* =P

I'm answering both discussions, as always.

1. What do you guys normally do on the holidays?
I'm on vacation right now also, but I've already been on holidays for one week; this is the last week. Go figure.

I haven't really done anything but linger in my abode on the PC, conversely, slumber appears to be the more prevalent time-wise. I've wedged in a couple more hours or so than I used to habitually during the school tenure. I'm enjoying the time off as much as I can, though a few rough edges has made my time off quite vain. Including a death of a close friend who prevented me from a suicidal attempt, and charges pressed against me for… some motive I committed months back.

My other holidays are pretty much the same, with the similar jagged turns to make it more natural. Last holidays I believe I bummed around at home, but was in a real predicament when I was looking for a new school to attend before the term started. The holidays before that were troubles with my best friend, who's the person pressing charges on me now. The holidays before that… oh come on, you expect me to remember everything? Yeah, basically I just burn time on the computer and wait for whatever unexpected surprise strikes me.

I don't plan to make my holidays more enjoying than what it already is. After all, it's what I want to do, so I can't complain. I would like the time off to be somewhat more benefiting for me, like a real vacation someplace interstate. Some times I do think I need it and that it would be really good for me, but that usually isn't possible. I prefer to stay home though - I have a difficulty interacting or just being around in public, and apparently any place we go contains life forms, so I prefer if they didn't know I existed lol. I'm comfortable at home, and if I must waste my vacation time there to feel relaxed then so be it.

2. What is one of the most emotionally affecting things that you've found out?
Damn, looks like I'm going to have to talk about this now.

Well, probably the most emotional thing I've experienced is the loss (not death, just a loss) of probably the only friend I've made during my life, and something deplorable he had done. Note to the others, there weren't really many emotional events that had occurred during my time, so I'll just pick this one even though I don't feel any sort of distressed sentiment towards this erratic mess.

Basically, we've been friends for a few years. About one year after I started high school, he sort of felt sorry for me because I hung around by myself ever so occasionally, just doing nothing. I'll remain what I did secret since that's probably too uncomfortable and probably make the reader's think I'm just a sad freak. Anyway...

We became best friends one year later when his ex-best friend decided to exchange schools, so I was quite happy. I didn't really like that person after a while so I was ecstatic at the time that he did leave. Then this is where the trouble began. His friends despised me thinking I was no good, and they made such pitiful insults towards me all the time that were almost always ineffective unless they tried something physical. I was and still am tough to bring down emotionally; I guess I became acclimatized to those sorts of circumstances, thankfully.

I eventually opened up from my shell and made some new friends, though they weren't as good as he, they were still friends. He became awfully jealous of me since I had "more than him". I laughed about it for a while until he decided to ignore me and try to get me jealous of him and his 'gang'. I lost respect for him after that. The thing that brought me down is that he handed me a pocket knife when we were out of friendship mode and told me to go "cut my throat". I never did forget that moment, and I was so dismayed at the time, I did a lot of crazy things I forbid to name, including hacking his e-mail account, which is what I'm apparently having charges pressed on for. I went much further than that though, it's startling why that's the only reason why he's got the policed involved - he was never the brightest spark and everyone hated him for what he did. Whether he is truly pressing charges against me is something else to consider, or maybe it's just a threat. I don't really care, I'm ready for whatever.

Just finding out he hated me for that long was just enough to bring me down, and had felt depressed ever since after that, and screwed me up mentally. That was probably the start of my avoidance of the outside world, and I lost my trust in a lot of people. So yeah... that's probably it. *Walks off*

Oh, Jay, that was horrible!

I think the second thing that hurt me the most was to find out, at about the same time, that the guy I loved was gay and that my parents were about to get divorced.
The only thing that topped that was when my brother's problem started showing and, as one of its consequences, he told me I'd ruined his life. And everything that happened from then. It took me years to recover from all the parts of my life I lost due to his illness, and I still don't know what things will be like if and when he's ready to see me again.

Moving on to happier things, on holidays I usually go somewhere for a while, see my friends, write as much as I can, read as much as I can and, when possible, watch some movies and maybe a play. I really wish I were on holidays now. How do you get one in the spring?

Oh, and Megan, the Spring Bellossom Plushie is yours.

[Yumemiru]

1. I train horses whenever I have free time. I also work at the theater here... Playhouse on the Square. We're doing an amazingly well done version of 'Macbeth' right now. Amy, you should come see it! Otherwise, on vacation time I sleep a lot. I haven't been on any vacation/holiday-related trips in a looong time.

2. Cancer. Let's just leave it at that.

Oooh!! Guess what guess what guess what! My sister.. is getting married!! I can't believe it. Her. Married. Next spring.

...

AHHHHHH!!!

2. What is one of the most emotionally affecting things that you've found out?

Actually, what i'm thinking of is kind of when i realized somethgin had emotionally effected me a while after it did. or maybe while it was, i'm not quite sure.
A couple years back, i had a physical, probably because it was required before i entered the next grade in school. The doctor noticed a couple of things that were signs of depression, and found out that my grades had been a lot lower than they hed been in previous years. When she (the doctor) asked me if there was any major events in my life that might have caused me to become depressed, i could only think of the fact that i was still getting used to high school (i was in my freshman year). But my mom brought up teh fact that my best friend (and really, my only close friend) had moved away over teh summer before. she might have brought up a couple other things, but the doctor agreed that the pressures of starting high school added to the seperation from my best friend could be causes of depression. Mom and dad ended up sending me to a psychologist for a little while, even though i felt i wasn't depressed. A few years later when I looked back on it, though, I realized that I was very unhappy, and probably was at least a little depressed.
But I'm not anymore. Even though I never did find another friend who I was such good friends with.

I'll take an Equinox plushie this time.

[Elemental Seribii]

I'll do both, because I can think of answers for them...^-^';

1. What do you normally do in your school holidays/What was one of the most memorable holidays you've had.
I used to almost always go to the U.S. during the summer and sometimes Christmas. Now that I've moved, I'm pretty sure most of my holidays will be spent with my family, just because I haven't been so close to them for a long time. My most memorable vacation is actually the ones that I spent in England, not going anywhere. Just because of my best friend's birthday parties in the summer, or just going somewhere and meeting people. Those were so much fun, I usually laughed so much during them, or whenever I met up with any of my friends.


2. What is one of the most emotionally affecting things that you've found out?
Probably being told we all had to move - again. While I'm not an emotional person, I had to hug loads of people goodbye on the last day of school, who I've gotten to know so well. The thing that scares me is that I'll probably never see them again, and they were some of the best friends I ever had, and how they suddenly can becom so insignificant when they're so far away. I'm not the most social person, so making friends (all over again) is kinda tough for me.

1. What do you normally do in your school holidays/What was one of the most memorable holidays you've had.

Lets see, one of two things. Either my mom, aunt, uncle, and everyone else decide to go somewhere (like Canada, Seattle, both, or some other place), or I sit around in front of my computer all day for all the days straight, and I stay up until 2 AM watching anime (y)

Hmm...I would like a Fall Gligar please :o

[PancaKe]

Wow, I wish i hadn't come up with the second "emotional" topic. Its' making the club seem a bit gloomy. I'm so sorry to hear all these bad things - but for my most emotional effecting thing its starting to feel a bit like a roller coaster.

You know how I was saying about my best friend liking some other girl when he was throwing signs that he liked me n stuff.
He's going out with thtat chick, and i'm so happy for them I was jumping up and down with him going "woo hoo!" Its so cool! But Its like being on a roller coaster, i'm gonna go downhill soon, and fast. ^^;;; At least this time I'm sort of prepared.

2. What is one of the most emotionally affecting things that you've found out?

Okay...

One day in April, I had told one of my mom's relatives about the recent birthday of one of my third cousins, and I was in for a major surprise when the relative told me that my third cousin (she is the same age as me, but only a few days younger) would be getting married sometime. After hearing about this incredible news, I suddenly got curious to when the wedding would be, and I learned a little bit more about it from my cousin and her fiance at a family reunion in August. I was pretty surprised when my cousin was actually holding a baby, who turned out to be the son of a girl that graduated in 2001 with me and my cousin (the girl is one of my cousin's closest friends, and the same age as well). My cousin is getting married sometime in June 2004 (I think).

1. What do you normally do in your school holidays/What was one of the most memorable holidays you've had.

Usually my parents and i go somewhere. This last time we were unable to do so because i had an appointment to have a scope done where we soon discovered that i had a hernia X.x The most memorable is the one when i was about 7 or 8 and we took my grandparents with us and we went to the Great Smoky Mountains. It was the first ad only one that i believe that they ever went on. They enjoyed it and i enjoyed having them with us.

Or..

2. What is one of the most emotionally affecting things that you've found out?

Well, it would have to be getting kicked out of the PTA program at Jackson State on my biurthday 2 weeks short of graduation, and given a really weak excuse for it. My dad had some friends look into it and they cou;dn't see that i did anythign wrong that they only had too many people to allow to graduate and i was the scapoe goat. Until now, I've had no interest in the medical feild though i've got a knack for terminalogu and stuuf. But i'm finally going to attempt to go and talk wtih the advisor of the heath department to see what my options are. The weak excuse was that i could correcyly access how patients were respondng to treatment in the acute care setting. X.X

Anyway, May i have a Jay plushie and can i request one of my captured umbroen Ranec? He's white with black rings and brown eyes?

[LightNinetales]

Can I request a plushie of my Ponyta,Will-O'?He's black with lavender eyes.

Thank you x 10000000!

Rules:* Plushies will not be given out unless you request one with a quality post.

Unless you make a quality post, the answer is no ^^;; Sorry.

[Lady Vulpix]

And yes, you can, Amy.
As for Rose, sorry, but only 1 limited plushie of each series.
I'm thinking of taking a Jay plushie, but I'd like to know what it looks like. Jay, care to enlighten us?

Tara, I wouldn't like to make this a gloomy place either. But on the other hand, it's good to know that all of us have been capable of getting through hard times and moving on. It shows us how strong we are.

Amanda, you're in a play? I'd love to see it! (And to be in one too, I haven't been in a play since 1998).
