I won't be on TEF as much for a while now. It's about school, I'm going to be in both drama club and basketball this year, and that'll take up a lot of time. And plus, when I get home I'm going to have homework, so I may be inactive from TEF for days. I'll try to pop in sometimes, especially during weekends. But just a little notice that I'll be inactive for a while.

Pretty much everybody here on TEF is awesome. You're all nice, caring, friendly, funny... just, there's so much awesomeness here, too much for words to describe.

And yet... we're all broken.

Unless some of you are lying about your life, many of us have had one we don't deserve.

I've read many stories here... being abused, being depressed, losing many people you love, being homeless, being bullied by people at school/parents, etc... and I'm not living the high life myself.

Many of us have broken hearts, have had a tough life. I've been there, I know what many of us feel. You feel alone, hated, and your confused what you've done to deserve this, and everyday you drown and sink deeper and deeper into the feeling of helplessness. And many just mock you, for they think you're just throwing a little fit over nothing, as they've never been depressed and they don't know what it's like.

But we survived, because we've found the Endless Forest.

The Endless Forest is no longer just a game. It is a home for the broken. The ones who need to be picked up and put of the path to happiness again.

I know that many of us wouldn't be the same if we had never found the Endless Forest. TEF helped me build confidence and self-esteem. I am much more assertive than I was, I've realized that many people like me, and nobody's going to bring me down easily. Many of us have changed as well, in a good way.

Some people don't understand how a site can be so life-changing. It is because most sites on the Internet are run by stupid 12 year olds and porn. This site is the one gem, and out of all the sites on the Internet, this might be the most important in not just my life but perhaps many others. I know that one day, this site will die, probably within the next decade. But no matter what happens, I will never forget how this site has changed me, and all of the wonderful friends I've met.

Guys.

Please.

Quit with the drama.

Quit with the hating.

Quit with the bashing.

PLEASE.

Some of us have had a long day and look forward to getting on the forest and community and relax. and then when we log on we see all of the above.

I don't care about IC drama, that's fine. But let's quit with drama occurring between the players, alright?

There should only be drama with the characters.
Not the players.

So let's stop fighting and be happy and joyful. When we're having fun, we get wonderful friends and memories. What the hell is drama gonna get us?

Let's end the drama. No more.

Dear Mr. Dragon Slayer,

You were supposed to be a warrior. A samurai. A savior. A god.
You were born to make this world right once again.
You were to make this world a peaceful place and chase away the dark.
Everybody else is so naive.
But I know what you've done.
We waited for you for so long.
And when you came, you lived up to your title as the Great Samurai.
The Tiny Warrior. The Small Savior.
The Dragon Slayer.
You clawed fear in your enemies hearts.
You did what you were supposed to do.
In the beginning.
They were saying you didn't have emotions.
They always said "When the Great Samurai is born, he won't be like any other creature in the world".
But they were wrong.
I saw you that night.
I was trying to rescue you.
But then I saw you had already escaped.
Tears of blood rolling down your face, your fur smeared with red.
A mixture of their blood and your blood.
Really, I can't be too mad at you, I see why you did what you did.
They were beating and torturing you for something you've never done.
But at the same time, they didn't deserve it.
They were innocent.
They knew no better.
They underestimated you.
You lost your mind.
Left everyone and everything in your path dead.
I know you feel ashamed.
I know you try to repent for your sins.
But why?
Why would a Samurai murder?

Dear Little Cherry Blossom,
I see why you are upset.
But it turns out,
even though I may be no ordinary cat,
all I am
is just
a cat

http://www.quizrocket.com/theme-song-quiz

Yes, another personality quiz. But I really want to see everybody's results.

There's more out there so I did several of them so I have a variety of "theme songs".

My theme songs:

Bon Jovi- Livin on a Prayer
Goofy Goober Rock - Tom Rothrock (I literally lol'd so hard when I got this result!)
Move Along - All-American Rejects
Soak Up the Sun - Sheryl Crow.
The Anthem - Good Charlotte
Funkytown - Lipps Inc.
Parklife - Blur
Love you like a Love Song - Selena Gomez
99 Red Balloons - Goldfinger

I'd say most of these are pretty accurate.

Now I'm going to see what my character's theme songs are...

I'm having MSN problems. Do you need an account on the site or something, or do you just log in with your email and password?

I'm doing the latter, and even though I know my password is right it won't let me log in. So do you need an account? I don't get anything...

I'm looking for players to fill in some spots.

There are currently nine spots to fill.

If you are interested, your deer will be temporarily possessed. And other things will happen to your character. It's all temporary but I will email you if you are interested and I will tell you what will happen.

The event will happen in pfft, probably a few months. But I figured I should search for players starting now anyways so we're all ready for this, and since I have so many spots to fill this might take a while.

The event will take, in forest roleplay time, 10 days, but in real life time in might take a while since it will be both in-forest and roleplay.

This is also a community event, anyone can participate in this, but there are nine specific spots that need to be filled in order for this to work.

There are only some requirements if you wanna participate:

-The character you choose has to be full grown.
-The character you choose has to be strong. If your character is weak in strength, there's a slim chance he/she will be possessed, as the possessor is looking for strong deer.
-Things will happen to your character. I know we all love our characters, so you'll need to be able to handle watching your deer go through all these changes. It's all temporary anyways, so don't worry about your deer being forever changed (of course, if you want to you can change him/her, like giving him/her traumas after the experience or something, go right ahead it's your character).

Here are some characters I am looking for. If you have a character who doesn't meet these that is fine because I'm not really picky with these. If you do have a character like this, and you're interested, then tell me and I will look into it.

-Does. Since this plot is based on a Japanese legend, does would make it realistic.
-Stags with big antlers.

I can smell the crackling fire, beautiful yet it burns deep.

I can smell the sharp, stabbing chill of the freezing ice, that breaks more and more everyday.

I can smell the blood of your victims, those who underestimated your strength.

I can smell the fear that lies deep inside of you, that gives you the nightmares.

And yet, you brave little one, you grin and bear those nightmares.

You don't ever give up.

This is your weakness.

You will soon fall.

And I will become the greater one.

Soon, I will get revenge.

Soon, I will rule this world.

Soon, I will get the power I deserve.

Where are you, little one?

Hiding in this "endless" forest?

Yes... yes!

Look at all of these deer...

They can easily be possessed,

Become my army, my warriors, my life.

And they won't even be able to fight back.

Heheheh...

Yes...

I have risen once again...

I know you are weaker...

I can smell you...

I'm coming for you.

You're a dead cat, Neko.

* suspense*

Maybe someone has done this before in the past, but I really wanna do this.

So with Kimi posting a TEF Birthday blog, It gave me the idea to give the player something on their birthday, without them asking!

Right now all I can think of is drawing their main/most active deer or writing a poem about them. I'd like to do something more like plushies or figures but I don't do that stuff.

So, I thought that I could make a "TEF Birthday Presents Program" where members can join and make presents for players when their birthday comes!

Like, if me and several other members can draw/write for a player's character, then other members can make plushies/figures, or whatever, and so the person will get plenty of gifts for their birthday. And yes, members of the program will also get gifts for their birthday!

If you don't want gifts, that's fine! Just leave a comment here saying you do not wish for gifts. sorry for annoying you with our kindness

If you wanna join, then just say you do below! This means you will help me and other members make goodies for players on their birthday!

List of player birthdays

Members:

BluedeerLegend18
CydaLuva83

Upcoming birthdays:

Laiia- August 14
Poppyflower and Edmund- August 17
Fincayra and Snowsauria August 23

NOTE: I figured since I just started this late in the month, it would be unfair to give these people present and not the people who had birthdays earlier this month, so we'll just give them late b-day presents!

So this is just an idea, I'll just work with this later. What do you guys think?

I have a question, how do you get the little boxes on your bio?

Like, I'm tired of just writing out all the character's info on one big page. I really don't like scrolling up and down the page to see everything.

What I mean is like, the little boxes where there's text and you scroll up and down. Or maybe where you have a little box and there's these links (like updates, personality, etc) and you click on them and you're on the same page but the box has different text and everything.

I've tried to figure out how to do this but I'm stupid. Can any of you CSSologists give me the codes on how to make those boxes? And in a way I can understand?

Thanks in advance.
