Ok, so it turns out Mar Sart's birthday/deerday whatever was two weeks ago and I forgot about it. X'D
So... in two weeks it'd be more like anniversary of stag day... I guess I could do a mentioning of that instead.

It's time to sweep the table clean, and get the facts straight.

Bear with me, however. I'm typing this at about 2:30 in the morning, and I technically shouldn't even be in the lounge at this hour. But I'm throwing away sleep time for this. Because frankly, I need to let some steam off outside of the Forest. Those of you who witnessed me beating the sap out of the trees will now see what my grievances are/were concerning.

I'll start with the obvious. I hate seeing the community torn apart like this. It's true that I haven't been here that long (Maybe since last September), but I still feel that there's something about this community that sets it apart from the forums and such that I've been to. Save for TKK. TKK will always have a firm bond with me, regardless as to how detached I am from it now.

But regardless, seeing everyone in disarray like this hurts a bit. Sure, chaos and drama is the very lifeblood of life itself, and without it, the world would turn cold and stale; but it has always been within human nature to hate the very things that keep them alive. Hence why I voice this confession of hating drama and chaos.

And yet, it's almost cruel that, despite hating it, I seem to get drawn right into it; in fact, I feel that sometimes I've caused it, and not of my own will. Which is, again, hurtful to me.

Getting away from that, another confession: I will confess to being selfish towards most things. And yet, I keep myself humble at the same time; Many times I've said, "Oh this sucks," and whatnot, and everytime I say it, I do, in fact, mean it. But at the same time, there's a nagging thought in me that tells me the reason I said so was to garner compliments.

XD Idea I had a loooong time ago, thought this would be a fun topic, but...

What are your favorite products you like to use, and why? You can include specific websites you shop at (I have a few examples below) as well.

Here are mine:

Edible Products:

Endangered Species Chocolate makes some amazingly delicious dark-chocolate bars. They actually include dried fruit in them, such as raspberries and blueberries, and they also use some great flavors like mint and espresso beans. Here's the great thing - part of their profits go to nature conservation, and each bar has a code you can redeem for either a coupon for their products or a donation to their charity.

Zola Acai is another product I love. It is a bottle of acai berry juice that is picked from Brazil, and is absolutely awesome. In addition, they have come up with some smoothie varieties that are cool too. I highly recommend trying the Smooth Green Smoothie Blend, which features Graviola and Cupuaçu in addition to Acai, which is an amazing blend of flavors! This company also gives part of their profits back to the Brazilian community, especially funding education programs for the children there. Look for their products in the Produce department of your grocery store.

SoBe makes some great drinks for a low price. I've been drinking their 'elixirs' such as power, energy, and nirvana drinks for a long time, and now have become a huge fan of their Lifewater products. Lifewater is surprisingly delicious for flavored water, and features some great flavors such as pomegranate, acai, passion fruit, melon, and tangerine. It looks like they just released some new flavors, too: cherimoya punch and strawberry dragonfruit.

Clothing brands:

Columbia Sportswear is one of my newest favorite clothing brands.
