lol I suppose not. xD
I imagine the majors cities do, and I seriously hope they do. As much as I like Indigo, I don't like monopolies. It's just a matter of being able to find them. But speaking from my experience, the only thing closest to a local bookstore we had (in a town of 7000) was a christian bookstore/cafe thing that went out of business after only two years.
I've found that it's more the little isolated towns that have them, the kind of towns you'd find on roadtrips haha. I also don't like monopolies--it's a shame to hear that there is one that big in such a...big country!
omg post :o -reads-

Yeah... no they generally don't exist in small towns x-x I was looking it up and most of the Independent Bookstores in Canada are located within the major cities.
Hahaa, big country perhaps, but our population is only 34 million. So even though we are REALLY BIG, we're really very small and spread out compared to the US. xD
//wtf xD Daddy Long Legs? Thanks for the gigglefit.
In other news I just got home from my first shift which was just orientation >.< I'm so excited, I officially start Monday. Monopoly crap aside, it really is an amazing store. The people are awesome. xD
That's great that you already like the people! :D Do your bosses seem nice?
Yesss. Was also one of the ladies that interviewed me. xD She's very excited to work with me apparently. The whole "I'm shy but I want to overcome it" thing reallly hit home with her so I got lucky~
Grats!! I never would have guessed you were shy. xD Then again, I'm shy IRL too so...I guess people are just really different online hehe. Hey, you're almost at 666 posts. :P
lol Dudeee xD I wonder what title I'll get xD
But yeah it's easy when you're not face to face. Honestly I was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder (panic attacks, the whole deal) a little under two years ago but I don't make a habit of talking much about it. Trying to move past that xD. And it seems to be working the more I settle into the mindframe that I'm just shy instead of mentally ill. Oddly enough makes it a hell of a lot easier to deal with.
And there it is. The final go ahead for Fort and Barasa to carry out their timefreeze elsewhere~ Dorian sends his apologies and love and expects to be back soon. :3
Morning darlings~
Aww, Dorian! :'( Glad he expects to be back soon! Ship just isn't the same without him.
That does sound hard to deal with--I don't think people understand just how scary and difficult face-to-face social stuff can be for people who are outside the whole system. I definitely was helped a lot by my last retail (ish) job, so I tihnk it'll help you a lot :) Especially since maybe at a bookstore people sort of expect the employees to be bookworms to a certain extent. Gives you some leeway!
Morninggg.
You're right about that. I think the hardest part about it though is having to integrate into society after so many years of avoiding it. There's a social awkwardness that comes with it that's hard to break. But I'm in high hopes that this job does for me what yours did for you xD. And I'm greatful for that leeway. So happy I got in at Indigo instead of the other retail job I applied for.
What was the other one? D:
Dammit I lose my 666 thanks to this post >_<
Believe it or not. Thrift Store chain. Value Village. Horrible D; but it was in the area and they were looking for people. Bahh so happy I didn't get it xD.
That Daddy Long Legs guy.... I honestly had to watch it like three times in a row, and then post it on my facebook. He also does a rant about rock paper scizzors and it made me lol even harder. xD
Oh, thank god Lumine, that would have been awful xD
Yeah that guy is hilaaaarious, I love his "tell me what to do" where he takes a shower in an airplane xD
Hi Schiz!! x3
Oh, Eden, you think Barasa could have his own room or something to accomadate the whole Fort/Barasa thing? Or would the Crew's quarters be fine for that?
It's up to you, would you like an area created? I want to make sure before I ask, since they're tough to delete. xD Either'd be fine though.
The only thing I'd be worried about if it takes place in the Crew's Quarters is if I happen to post in current game time with Barasa and it happens to take place or end up in the Crew's Quarters - which would result in confusion, I think. So, I guess. Yes I wouldn't mind having an area created, if it's not too much trouble. Unless of course, you know of a better alternative.
Ok--will do!
Thank you <3
Oh my, it's already coming in on 4:30... >_> I really didn't accomplish much today in the real world, but I needed to update myself with all my current games. I fell behind this past week.
How has everyone been? I haven't really had the time to have a nice relaxed talk with you guys in a while!
Fantastic! x3 I have been doing quite well. I missed you. >;3 Anddd I think I'm going to post soon after I get some other stuff done. I hope you're doing well?
Hey Schizo~ I've been okay but missing RP 8(
I will be making a post today. As you know I've been gone for about a week and my games surely suffered. >_>
I do miss everyone else who used to roam about in here.
We miss you too. <3 Did you at least have fun the past week or so? ^^
Well, it wasn't horrible... but it wasn't the best of times. Lack of sleep, constant noise and being so busy I kept forgetting to eat was becoming a little overwhelming, I'm glad it didn't last any longer than it did.
*sighs happily* I'm just glad to be back. ^_^ And wearing new comfy jammies.
I totally understand that feeling Schiz. Of course, you had waaaaay more to deal with than what I've got. I look forward to the day my grub worm is mobile and causing mischief. (Because it is my husband who is the stay at home parent *cackles*.)
It sure as hell made me get rid of any lingering warm feelings of wanting to have a baby any time soon. @-@; I have to say I hope your little guy doesn't have the same problem my cousin does... she attempts to eat like... everything... and has a sweet tooth for toxins. You have to like follow her around at all times or she will end up eating hair gel. D:>
Morning all!
A post! -dashes over to read it before work-
Hah, I feel like those are rare now a days. The whole site has been MIA recently. ><;
Hey all! I'll post with Cas tonight or tomorrow. My old project's guide stuff keeps coming back to haunt me and have been going crazy over it. WHEE EXTRA WORK
In others news I'm going to take a picture of my name in the guidebook, probably with a bunch of signatures on it :D
Gatta love me some Cas <3
Time, you bugger.
Dx Sorry guys... work and family stuff is keeping me busy. I will try to get something in soon. Hopefully. Bleh.
No worries...I think until our captain is back nothing's really gonna happen. :(
But But... he will come back soon, right?
I don't know. :(
Well, this is indeed a time of sad face. :(
Well but hello!
After discussing with Eden about a possible character I've decided to give it a shot. :)
I hope the Cap'n will be back and I can get to prove myself in front of the people I am about to travel with.
Welcome Mill, we appreciate the enthusiasm! It's exciting to have someone new and active on board. We are in the middle of a waiting game, but I don't expect it to last much longer. ^_^ We are too irresistible to be away from for too long~~ lol.
Perhaps I could swing it at the Topside. From my quick read I understood we were heading to port, yes? Shall I be recruiting myself there or do I just swing it and enjoy fixing some holds of oneofthe cannons?
Sorry folks, I've had a pretty shitty week--car got totaled, among other things. MIA for a bit. :(
