He definitely didn't learn it for my mum xD Aw.... I don't know how Weebly works on the phone. I'm debating between WordPress and Weebly.

Trust me I really didn't know what I was talking about, I only know some people use WordPress for blogs. I can't help with choosing between which website, but I heard Weebly was easier to use, while WordPress is a popular "content management system". WordPress was founded as a blogging platform, but for some reason it looks too business-like to me (personal opinion, of course). If you want to build a very intricate and complicated website, go for WordPress, but I heard it's harder to navigate, although there are more tools, whereas you can make a website using Weebly in several minutes, since it's Drag and Drop. There's no right or wrong with choosing :)
Oh goodness, me being sweet! Now that's a rarity! You gave me all that advice, and you say you don't know what you're talking about? *shrugs* I found Weebly rather annoying, though, because for some reason, it kept crashing.I actually decided on Tumblr xP
A Little Less Conversation
So here's a conversation between a friend and me today.
Friend: *tugs hair while I was reading*
Me: What?!
Friend: How was your day?
My mind: Crap!
Me: Pretty bad.
Friend: Pardon?
Me: Bad-ish.
Friend: Name one thing that made you smile today.
Me: Uhhhhhh..... Fake smile or real smile?
Friend: Real smile. Fake smiles don't qualify as smiles (she actually told something else which basically meant the same thing, but since I don't remember, I added my own touch)
Me: Uhhhhhh....
Friend: I'm waiting....
Me: I'm thinking.... Ummmm
Friend: Really? It takes this long? You look amused right now.
Me: Okay, this made me smile.
Friend: How convenient! Now name ten things that made you sad.
Me: Uh, so this morning *starts off*
Friend: No, wait! I want you to think about it!
Me: No, it's right on the tip of my tongue.
So um, I don't know why I'm writing this, but I just felt like.
Oh, and fifty points to Ravenclaw if you figure out what the title is. Fifty points from Gryffindor, Slytherin and Hufflepuff if you get it wrong xD

Weeeellll I may be biased here because one of those is legit my nickname... XD
Naw, I admire you taking the effort to put thought into the name. To be honest I use a random name generator whenever I need a name for something..... I'm just too lazy for that. Anyway, they all look like good names to me.
Hallie wrote: "Alia, well, I don't know. Some sort of anxiety just built up. I don't know how to explain it. Oh, that roleplay is amazing even though I ruined most of it."I'm sorry :( I didn't mean to make you more anxious at all! Don't worry about explaning it; I see my faults now, but all I could think about then was how much I care about you and don't want you to go. No you did not ruin it!!! It would have been more boring without you anyway (even though Maya and Jingle have awesome characters of course).
Hals what do you mean you ruined most of it because 1) that is so not true 2) you didn't 3) we need Bell 4) in the rp and in our life 5) it wouldn't be the same without you

That was exactly what I was thinking, but I do want to make the whole story different and a character with an unusual name might help. Orion doesn't sound right, so I'll most likely skip that one, and I don't feel right if she's named Vela or Virgo. Thanks for the advice!

That was legit what I thought when I wrote that down. My brain was telling, "Hopefully, Lynx is fine with this."
Haha I can't write a character if I don't like their name. My roleplay characters have the names I love, and if I don't, I'll kill them off some time. I need to think day and night for it xD

It's not your fault! The reaction from you all is completely different from the reaction from people in real life, so I get some mixed emotions that crash together.... Ugh I'm so horrible at this! *shrugs*

Dude, totally fine. It brought a grin to my face. I was quite flattered. Haha. And it's only my nickname anyway. :) It's a pun for me. I'm rather cat-like plus I make chain maille (as in the medieval armor) and we use metal links for that. Plus Lynx's have been known as keepers of secrets. That all rolled up into one playful nickname for me. :) Though to be honest most people who call me by it in person have modified it to Lynxy....
I used to be that way with characters. I used to spend hours and hours finding one to fit. Once upon a time I used to be head mod for the most active hunger games rp on GR (we even got featured, but this was like 4-6 years ago) so I had characters dying right and left. I burned through soooooo many names. After awhile I decided my time wasn't worth the effort and I would create a base for the character, use a random name generator (I'll usually give it a few clicks with 5 or so middle names included), and pick the names I liked best. Even gives me last names. Then I go through a discovery process with the character.
Then again I also don't write books or short stories. Just rp

I always thought it was cute :D And I love constellations, so any name of constellations automatically gets my attention.
I wonder if I'll change out of it xP Random name generators don't help a lot for me.
Well, I really need it to be the name of a constellation. But I got this! Hopefully. If I don't do anything um, permanent.
You got this girl. :) I wish I knew more about constellations or I'd try and help more. Im more into earth than I am the other things in our amazing universe. Maybe look into the stories behind the constellations and see if that helps?
I was about to be like, "oh! And mine's -" then I paused and realized nobody is likely to name their kid Cancer. XD

*high fives*
Speaking of names (for RP and stories I write), I usually pick my favorite ones and go from there. Sometimes the names appear in my dreams and I use them for my stories.

Well you have made a character named Kavy before in LSOPA and Descendants. I haven't made one named Alia in any group XD
But oh yeah I literally read a book with a character named Alia on purpose XD I didn't like her a ton either XD

oh yeah, I always make my first rp character in a group based off of the me irl
or the me in my head or daydreams or my imaginative worlds and except I also make a twin sister for the me in the rps XD
Oh yeah! Kavy and Alex, awesome lol. My first roleplay character ever was meant to be a younger version of myself, but she ended up wiser because I was writing out her words XD I didn't use her much tho, I either did normal friendship roleplays with her, and the one time I plotted for her, I did so evilly.
And that name that seems to be spread far and wide in this journal, Corvus… is the name of my second, kinda-villain-but-sorta-not, most frequently used roleplay character. I've made him into a laughingstock purposefully XD
I'm bad at rping as villains or bullies. it's hard for me because I'm too soft-hearted, I can be evil at times, if I want to but it's hard.
That's not a bad thing at all :) I sort of am as well. Corvus started out as an evil, psycho professor but then turned to being relatively compassionate and straightforward because of me. He wasn't even meant to be smart either, but he's now 1 out of two of my charries that I consider to be smarter than me. (Yes, Masi, Ardelle is the other.)And I haven't, but I've come close. I know I felt awful when I had Corvus call the student he'd been tutroing a disgrace and also when he literally abandoned his surrogate daughter upon her getting upset. It was soo sad :( I think I avoided crying because on one of those days, I was hyped for camp, and on the other, my dad had something good happen to him. So I focused on those.
in one of my books that I'm currently writing (I haven't been working on the book in a while but I really need to get back to my writing) in the first chapter, I killed off my main character's mother and then I ended it in a cliffhanger XD after I killed off the character's mother, a part of me was like, "I know why authors like to kill off the good characters now, it's fun" that's the evil part of me XD but tbh I cried while killing my character's mother off, it was too emotional XD honestly I didn't want to kill the mother off, but I had to because of the plot and all.
I feel you. I haven't had a lot of time to write. Wow, you're writing a book? Awesome and congrats! When did you start writing books? Oh yeah that is sad, but I'm used to parents being gone a lot :( I suppose it would be different when you write it as opposed to reading it. Yes, I so have that evil part. I seriously wanted to kill off my roleplay character, but someone else told me I'd better not because their character would be too broken, which would steer the plot the wrong way. Funny that I ended up breaking that same character anyway XD
Makes sense. Oh yeah, I understand plot excitement and its line with realistic sadness. Our group had a crazy evil character attack a school, and I was soo excited at first but I ended up feeling horrible because the character based off of me got seriously harmed. It's one thing to have your top Death Eater have bad stuff happen to them and quite another to have the same occur with what's basically a more innocent version of yourself.
Anyway sorry, mini-rant XD
I know that feeling about writing too...

XD that is true
yeah, but I'm like way behind on both of my books I'm currently writing, because I'd been distracted, and I have writer's block rn, the problem is that the hardest part in writing is to keep writing, like the first chapter is easy but then it gets harder and harder as you keep going
XD I almost wanted to kill off the main character's love interest (they are not together yet) because I'm evil but I decided not to because of the plot, and I've fallen in love with the love interest
I have three dead characters in my story (so far). They're only mentioned. Not because of the plots, but because my dreams tells me what to write.
