Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes...

Hello Everyone. I am making this blog after seeing someone get a little upset and worried that they are bothering others posting their problems so I am going to leave this blog up So that if anyone wants to write it out to ask for help or just get it off their chest I don't mind. I shall check it almost daily. Don't worry, you can say what you want here, although I do have some small requests:
*Please try to keep profanity to a minimum, if you must then use stars.
*I want this to be a place for people to let out their fustration, if someone on this site has upset you I don't mind you saying so but please do not say anything too bad about them
*No homophobic or racist comments please

Thank you and be strong.

Ya. Could be a connection

Ya. Could be a connection issue maybe? - I understand not wanting to lose their sets, and if it is server side and you reinstall 3.40 they should still be able to load their deers set back. - Hopefully you can get it all sorted. 3.31 is still available for download, under Older Versions, if all else fails.

Thank you. Thank you for

Thank you. Thank you for your...


uh, comment.

Vandettta;

Look, i don't care WHO you know you are, your not me. so, if you WANT to have the pleasure of having a bucket of moron dumped all over you, puh-lease. be my guest. Just remember. I have friends. You really need to work out your rudeness and take yourself with a grain of salt. That's ALL you'll ever be to me. So, you need to realize I don't CARE about you, or Quad, or how sassy you are. Your a bully and a sissy. Deal with it.

...pff.
and so alice snapped.

Sentry; hahahaAHAHA, okay,

Sentry;

hahahaAHAHA, okay, listen, kid.

I don't have to be you, I know a fool when I see one, I'm surrounded by them daily.
Some people might not like me, but that's different from having at least five people a day IM me thanking me for trying to show you what a little idiot you are.

I will not take care of my rudeness, I don't need to, I'm only rude and mean, and nasty to people who deserve it.
Like you, for instance, who seems to thrive off of being unkind to others on a daily basis rather than just keeping your trap shut when it needs to be.

Look through your track list.
How many of those blogs have arguements that you started somewhere on them?

You're just a petty child throwing a temper tantrum because not everyone does exactly what you want them to do, like a toddler who's mom won't buy it a candy bar.
People like you make me want to vomit.

I am no bully, if I were a bully I could easily do what you do, I could post on every single blog that has one small thing I don't like, and I could go on and on and on about how I hate it and how that person should change.

I have friends too, and judging from what people say about you, I have a lot more.
However, that isn't the point.

The point is you, kid, are a hypocrite, calling other people bullies when the only bully here is you.
After all, I might not be nice, but at least I'm not-nice to people who deserve it, and I admit I am not nice c:
This account is a biography holder. Nothing more.

Ok, I know it isnt smart to

Ok, I know it isnt smart to stick my nose in other people's buisness, but I have something for all of you: <3

I have noting else to say about some of the comments in this blog. There is no need to give the satisfaction of responding to them, when they should just be ignored. You go Vendatta! <33

Just listen to it and relax. I dont like all of this horrible drama swirling around, but obviously it cant be avoided. So, try to make the best of it.

I have to get off now, but please, let the song pick up your mood, dont stay down in the blues. Happy holidays, and I do hope all of this lessens greatly after a much needed music break! <3

Kutanra: Tracing won't help

Kutanra: Tracing won't help you do manga either, the people that draw manga/anime/cartoons can draw 'real' things first and then stylise them. I dont mean to be patronising but I made all these kind of mistakes when I was younger and it frustrates me no end when I can see people making the same mistakes when its so easy to avoid having to relearn how to draw later because you've been doing it a certain way for so long. There is nothing wrong with manga or anime as a style but its not a good way to learn to draw anything.

I'm sorry for starting this 'thing' with SentrySeb *cough troll cough* It was not my intention. If anyone is jumping on this misguided little child on my behalf please stop, it couldn't bother me less if they are rude to me. I know I'm right, the kid is wrong and apparently delusional and I'm not going to bother reply to it any more because its a waste of time and effort.

Perhaps if we ignore every negative post from now on it will stop

Anyway I have better things to do like drawing Smiling

Hm.. Instead of Fueling the insane fire of AliceV's post, I'll stop, and never use this account again. You have made me that sick. I'm starting over. I can and will do that. Heck, I did it already. Sticking out tongue

I hope you really happy about this. My very last post on here. I love you all. But Alice needs to quit. Or take a break, or something. She's too stressed over a game, haha. But, anyway, thanks.

Sypris made me think of one of the things I've been putting off for weeks myself. XD

I'm terrified of getting my person a gift because I'm afraid she won't like it. ;-; And I'm too stubborn to be convinced otherwise, hehe

I need to get off my lazy bum and go do things >__>

LAZY BUM RANT, GOOO

Also, I watched all of my Dr. Who and now am left with nothing to creepily obsess over. :< Sad day.

I hate shovelling snow...day after day. I've done it so many times this winter, it's really irritating. And seemingly pointless when they won't grit your frickin street so you aren't leaving anywhere. Meh, i just want to get throgh to friday with no incidents but probably not.

I also wish that I'd been nicer here sometimes, because it just feels like, maybe I did something wrong, and so recieve a lot of silence...maybe it's just me and i'm jsut being so weird. But meh, many of my peers are os outthere, just feels like quite a lto i'm the afterthought in the dark back corner.

Non-TEF Twice in three


Non-TEF

Twice in three months have the buttons...or the zipper, of my pants have just popped off.
Favorite pants too. I loved my gray pair and I actually walked around with bobby pins in the zipper area to at least try to close it up, and it only looks even more stupid than just the zipper being open.

Makes me wonder if I'm fat or my ass is just too big...Oh right, that's fat. 8D

Being sick with mucus, wheezing and coughing for a month because of my bronchitis, tonsils, as well as having a cold at the same time.

My cat knocking off the stuff on my fan right after I put it back up.
___

Let's see....TEF-related.

When someone whines about how a biography layout looks like someone elses. I understand flat out they-look-like-siamese-twins that would upset people.
But if it's just a section or something or two...it's not that serious. People should get a grip about that.

When someone whines about how there's personality traits, just three or four as an example, that someone also has,
and feels it their duty to publicly degrade the biography owner's blog going all "give credit" with a comment. You can't own personalities, and big deal if the whole personality trait list is similar.

But people usually do that in the first place because they think the personality belongs to someone else's character...

Spelldata sharing. I'd rather not risk losing my version of tef that I use (which isn't the latest) over people exchanging too much of data. I've only shared data once and that was last november.

Almost every new person wanting the zombie set. WAIT UNTIL HALLOWEEN.

I feel like making a blog in contrast to this (if it hasn't been done already), about posting positive stuff. I'm in a good mood and I like the people here.

ShadowsofLight~ I don't

ShadowsofLight~ I don't really know what advice to give you about that, most of the time I'm not even an afterthought.

jala~ yeah I have the same issue, seriously, food makes your clothes shrink Sticking out tongue
as for the coughing=honey, its tasty and soothing, has anasthetic properties and never goes off so its pretty economic Smiling [well it can crystalise but warming it up undoes that] I also used it to save my dads life when he went into shock from low blood sugar. A spoonful a day sorts me out and a little bit when my throat is tickly

Good idea with the blog, I just made this one so that all moans, groans and arguments are kept nicely in one place to try and keep ALL blogs positive Smiling

This is the most redneck-sounding music I've ever heard (trust me, I live in the southern US, so I know rednecks), and they keep playing a shorter commercial of this on the TV.

And it just makes me cringe hearing it every time because it sounds so stupid.

For the last half year

For the last half year reality hasn't been like my expectation... sometimes in a big way. The person I considered my best friend hurt me and hasn't apologized, and my relationship with my mother has gotten kind of rocky. I had a very good friend who understood what I was going through encouraging me, but with the end of the semester she has graduated and moved several states away.

There is also someone I like... it took me by surprise. I haven't felt this way in years. But I think his feelings are for my friend who left.
And I still have bad days, where I can't think of anything redeeming about myself.

It's weird.

I'm glad to have the forest. At least somewhere I know I can find someone to be with me. And at school, for a little while, when my friend and I were together, I didn't feel lonely, and I felt like myself again.

I don't know how it will be when I go back.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Awwh, cheer up! *gives you a cookie*
Maybe you could email your friend who's graduated? And it's so sad to hear a close one has hurt you, I hope they apologize soon <3.

Love is very surprising Smiling. I've been through the same thing before, but you forget about it after a while!

Now for my rants which I will regret posting...

I hate how I have to wait for my Christmas presents
I hate how I can't trust two of my closest friends with ANYTHING
I hate how my boyfriend has gone away for nine days

I hate how in TEF, deer just stand around in big groups and aren't very welcoming to people they don't know
I hate how I'm working on two characters but can't decide their sets
I hate how people that wear the same set as another 'popular' deer get chased and harrassed by other players (I saw that happen yesterday)

I hate how people are gonna shoot me for so many "I hate how"'s

Even if you don't have 'characters'... you can go into the forest and interact. If you want to be with others and give love, you will get love.

Kutanra's picture

For quite a while now (maybe

For quite a while now (maybe its because I'm 15) I have been feeling pretty down (and no its nothing to do with my ex, we had a mutual split about 4 or 5 months ago) I haven't really got anyone to talk to, and then I realised in one of those slap-yourself-on-the-forehead moments that I had created a blog specifically for this sort of thing.

So here is the rant of Kutanra:

All my life I have been a second thought, a hastily added "and you", sometimes I am not even seen.
I don't know why this sort of thing happens to me but I know that I am no dazzling beauty, some could even say I am slightly in the negative when it comes to looks.
And none of my friends ever start conversations with me, I am always the one to say hi on fb or MSN and after that its becomes more of an interview because the only way to get any response is for me to always ask questions about their day etc

I annoy people a lot. When I get nervous or excited I become a motor mouth and when I realise I'm talking to much I get embarressed and either talk faster or find some excuse to leave. I am also uncommonly loud. What seems normal to my ears is often percieved as a shout by others. I always get really embarressed when people inform me of my rambling, especially my mum.

It just seems that everything I do goes unoticed. I feel like metaphorically in my life even when I am drowning I will let myself go under if I am holding someone else up. But then they just get to shore, get out and wander of leaving me gasping for breath.

I have never surpassed average, I know that if I put in a tremndous amount of effort I could become something slightly more but I have no interest in art beyond doodling in class and my 5 known piano pieces aren't very useful as a party trick. I restrict my singing to the shower for everyone's sake and my feet have never been graceful on the dance floor. I know some people will comment saying I should put effort into it and believe me, I constantly sing and dance when no-one is around. I have just never found my natural talent which everybody else seems to have. I don't even have fashion sense.

My biggest problem apart from being the black sheep of the family and life in general is the expectations people have of me, I have a moral to never expect anything of anyone and to give them a clean slate each day but at school I am in the highest set for science and quite a few other subjects too but I am in the lower ranks of those sets yet everyone treats me like I should be getting easy 100% and am getting Bs purely to spite myself although I am amazed I get Bs!
The teachers always say "You're a bright girl, you can do this" it annoys me no end.

Sometimes when people I know complain about their lives (in rl, people on here are allowed to rant) I want to scream, you have it good if you find the teacher annoying oh well you only have them for an hour then you go home to siblings and parents that love you. I am patronized by all my teachers then go home to a house which if it isnt empty contains my mum who fails at hiding her dissappointment and a dad who is too much like me in the dominance genes when it comes to TV remotes and chores. I become nocturnal in the holidays because it means I sleep through the times when my parents, mercilessly teasing sister and brother-in-law (who is the devil himself) and other humans are up and about; thus being up all night with a book or the computer in solitary conditons which are far better than isolation amongst others.

Most of the time now I spend my school days making sure I am the unimpressed bitch that everyone tries to avoid, if only to stop the pain in my heart that other create despite it keeping me in the lonliness to which I am so well aquainted.

Thank you so much if you read all that. Sorry I went on so much, I have no doubt (and hope) that it is mostly teen hormones talking but please do not talk down to me purely because of my age and treat it as nothing, that is something else I can not stand.

Nowadays all I ever want is a hug...

This is probably the most

This is probably the most well put together and legit rant I have ever read. - This actually reads like it means something, it is not about something self-centered or 'all about you', you're not venting about this or that, you're venting about something real, true, and... I really can not find the right word.

I can understand some things you've said, like trying to be the unimpressed bitch. When I was in school that is how I was too.

It may be just hormones, but may be not. - We all learn to cope and deal with things as time goes on.

I wish I had advice for you, but all I can say is take each day one step at a time. Sorry, nothing original to send your way. =[

Decided to come in with some

Decided to come in with some real content..

For most of my life I've had emetophobia (vomiting) after several horrible experiences as a child. Right along with it I have odd, particular food anxieties. I go to therapy twice a month and I'm slowly getting better, in fact I was going out of my shell to try new things.. However a recent, mostly innocent, comment by an unknowing family member about how "you don't eat ___? That's really weird, haha." really got to me. I don't know if it hurt my feelings or I'm just hyper sensitive on the subject, but I ended up breaking down alone in my bedroom that night wishing I was "normal". I want so horribly, badly, desperately to be normal, to eat like a normal person. I was healing so well to the point that my fears were mild and unnoticeable, but suddenly it feels like much of that progress has just rolled backwards at 60mph. I'm sure things will get better at my next session.. but for now I feel horrible. Sorry for ranting, I know no one else here can help or anything I just had to get it out. ,_,

Kutanra: I agree with

Kutanra: I agree with Shamiya. That was actually the first thing I thought when I read this - how very well you wrote all that. And just through the way you're thinking and looking at things, I will definitely say that you're heading the right direction. I think that if you just get more confidence and don't stress yourself up, then it will work out for you sometime very soon. Changes come drastically, you know. Often when you least expect them or hope for them to come. Maybe it would be good for you to get into some sort of social hobby - get to know new people so that the expectations to you will fade. And maybe a sport or something. I know I get grumpy and just generally more annoyed/frustrated if I'm not physically active for just two days, lol.

Tally: If it helps, I think I can say surely that the experience you told about will help you later. The fact that you broke down from hearing that, says that you wouldn't make it back to "normal" just yet anyway, but with this experience, you have a much bigger chance of making it the next time. Whenever you get hurt, you build up a defense for it later. Do you think you will break down like that if that person said the same thing to you later? Probably not. Everyone needs things like that sometimes (as long as it doesn't make them give up hope, of course). In fact, I'm sure that this is the way you improve the fastest. Sure, you can take the long way without any misfortunes at all - but it will take a lot longer for you to recover this way. It's more comfortable, but by "breaking down" in the progress, it will both leave you stronger and it will help you faster.

I wish all of you the best. <3

Kutanra: I know exactly what

Kutanra: I know exactly what you mean. I've said some of the same words, had the same feelings.

The best way to look at it is that you are unique, there is no one exactly like you. When you start realizing your strengths more than your weaknesses, you'll discover that you have a unique and wonderful purpose in life. Never let anyone tell you what you are supposed to be. That's your decision, not theirs.

If you ever need to clear your head, take a walk through a zen garden in your mind or try hiking a mountain to find your goal. I hope these help Eye

And never give up! Life is stressful but we persevere so we can fulfill our dreams. When you get to that point, you'll be proud of yourself for what you have accomplished.

I hate how moody I've been

I hate how moody I've been the past half a year.
One day I'm all 'blinnng hyperrrr' and another I'm cranky antisocial who snarls at everything and everyone and act like a total ass.
Ahaha ksfhsdkf.

I feel like I'm getting nowhere with my art at the moment. It frustrates the crap outta me.

I both love and hate my character Cutlass.
Myself, I'd love having some forest friends for him as I play him most of the time anyways but it would go against his character to get all friendly and that's not what I want. Still, I'd like some interaction but can't really ask it, he might just cause bad feelings to others. :/

I hate how hard is it for me to get contact with people. Breaking the ice has always been somewhat hard to me and maybe I'm not the most interesting and intelligent person in the world.
I'm awfully shy. And it's irritating. |D

Uhmmmm I think that was all. Thanks for creating this blog, helped me to get some steam out. : D

When was the last time you

When was the last time you left your deer in the forest, wandered away, came back, and discovered another deer (that you probably don't even know) was sitting by them?

...
I havn't had that happen in months honestly.

Is everyone just too edgy to sit by another now days?
It seems..depressing.

Minimuuh- My usual defense

Minimuuh-
My usual defense against having my feelings hurt is to just.. not talk about it. And to not let anyone know, just go on about my day without doing anything unusual if I can. I sound like a crazy person here letting an itty bitty little comment that doesn't even mean anything tear through me like that. It even sounds silly looking back now.. But I think it will help me. Thankyou. <3

Some of you know about my dog Cassy and some of you don't, but she's a border collie(oh boy), and she's my heart and soul. But Cassy herself has severe social anxiety since puppyhood (I suspect from previous owner abuse.), hell, she pees herself every time a stranger makes eye contact with her. Well, that's a lie. She used to do that, because for about 7 months I've been helping her overcome her fears. And in doing that.. I ended up helping myself in the process. She still suffers from social fear, I still suffer my phobia, but together we're doing ok.
Kutanra's picture

Shamiya and minimuuh thank

Shamiya and minimuuh thank you, I know I talk/type with an overly sophisticated manner of speech (my posh accent is hilarious) but surprisingly although I go to a private school I am only one of three people who doesn't sound like they come from a council house. Mind you I'm best friends with the other two so yeah...

minimuuh I think you hit the nail on the head. I have very little if no self worth, I am one of those people who will always take a bullet for my friends, but not to be a hero, purely because I believe their prospects far outweigh mine.

Tally although I don't have any actual issues with various foods I am incredibly picky and I know how fustrating it is seeing a delicious plate of food and knowing your only going to eat about a quarter of it. And I am always picking bits out (even in public to my mothers horror hehehe)

Tuhka I am so like that its unreal. Somedays I just wanna run through a field, completely and utterly destroy something (did I ever mention if I was reincarnated I wanna come back as a wolf? think about it, no chores, no clothes, and you can shake a twig around until you think your teeth will come out) then other days I just wanna curl up and glare daggers at people, do rugby, it helps relieve fustration

And ice breaking is very hard to do, especially when you've been put into or accidently get yourself categorized. (whenever theres an awkward moment I always say polar bear, its a real ice breaker) I probably wouldnt be so bad if it werent for my ADD which is like ADHD but without the hyperactivity, google it

Alecsander, I know, most of the time I just stop where I am and go off so I'm usually in the middle of nowhere but if I see another deer I will usually sit by them

And finally Quad, those pieces you wrote were wonderful! Very relaxing especially since at the time I was listening to this song which lasted for both descriptions (it was the longer version of this but is no longer availiable)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSHLICAhpwg

I think everyone here would do well to listen, don't do anything else, just play it, lay back and listen

Kutrana, you sound a lot like

Kutrana, you sound a lot like me when I was younger. I don't want you to think i'm talking down to you. Maybe just back at you, because I was too loud and socially awkward, always felt I was doing nothing right, and my sister, mom, and everyone around me made me want to crawl into a hole and disappear for most of my pubescence.
You will find your specialty. The arts, sports, and school are not the only thing a person can be good at. Caring for others, being patient and accepting, loving completely, and understanding and fighting for what is right are all especially important skills. People may not praise you a lot for them, but you will change their lives, and they in turn will change yours. It will pave for you a road of good fortune and gratitude.
Learn to love yourself. Don't listen to your inner critic, and take criticism in the outer world with a grain of salt. The cruelest people are only afraid and self-conscious themselves, or they would forgive and love you in your worst moments, and treasure you.
Life is not a contest, but a journey, and people born on this planet need guides. You are a guide. Learn the good paths and teach others.

Tally, as someone who knows what it feels like to be 'abnormal' I think you should try and forgive yourself for feeling offended by that person's comment. It was right to feel that way- you have a wound and they struck it. If they had experienced what you have, they would not have. Their lack of experience isn't evil, but you having gone through what you have isn't either. Those who don't understand don't understand, and the best you can do is be patient with them- not try to be them. You know what is best for you. Please don't beat yourself up.

Tuhka-
Wasn't it one of your deer I laid with near the blue bowl?
Thank you for your stomach...

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

I get really upset when

I get really upset when people flat out ignore comments. Not like typical comments like, "Cool character!". or "Nice CSS", but when you actually take the time to write out a question and it is blatantly ignored.

I don't like asking questions, I feel like a burden. It takes a lot of contemplating and growing some balls for me to be able to ask a question, especially off the wall, random ones. So to go through a personal mind-battle with myself and then finally get the balls to ask the question, only for it to be ignored, it upsets me, ESPECIALLY when I've been nothing but nice.

^ I second that. It bothers

I second that. It bothers when people can't spare a thank-you to the people who have given them compliments, too. To me, it seems arrogant and ungrateful.
But that's just me. It depends on the person though.

On most of my help- or

On most of my help- or CSS-blogs I barely ever reply with "You're welcome" or "Thanks". I don't always reply to everyone individually when I'm getting comments and sometimes I happen to overlook a question. :s

Sleep. I have not been able

Sleep.
I have not been able to sleep for more than two or three hours (if that) a night for several weeks due to an incident that occurred and I believe has traumatized me. The little time I am able to sleep is filled with nothing but nightmares, forcing me to relive it over and over again. Awful is an understatement.

I know lack of sleep is a very bad thing so I put my health over fear and tried every way I could think of to help me sleep better despite the nightmares. Warm milk, complete darkness, cherries (melatonin), seafood (tryptophan like in turkey), eyemask, earplugs, mantras, sheep-counting, socks, long walks, citrus scent, not watching television or any computer for a while before bed... I even started acupuncture when the sleeplessness began. I am hesitant to take any medication because I typically get side-effects.

Nothing is working.

It's extremely difficult to function properly throughout the day and I feel as though I am slowly going mad. I cannot focus on my work or studies without strenuous effort that most often leaves me exhausted accompanied by a considerable headache. I feel empty and hollow. My mind is occupied primarily with memories and flashbacks of the incident that I believe has caused all of this. It haunts me to no end. But TEF also has a place in my thoughts... I think I would be far worse by now without this game and community. Thank you to those who have taken interest in myself and Ismir. Knowing that others are curious about us and enjoy our company has improved my self-esteem.

This lack of sleep has contributed to irritation, impatience, isolation, and general unfriendliness. I feel weak and ill. I have ignored nearly every single call and every single text message I have gotten lately. I am uninterested in everything my friends have to say and do not want to go out or do anything. I spend my time (when away from TEF) in my room with the lights off and window blinds closed either in deep thought or unable to think at all. My room seems to get smaller every time I enter.

I have broken down every night for the past few days as I went to bed, knowing already that I would be unable to sleep and would spend the entire night attempting with no results. Then if I did succeed, that I would suffer from hideous nightmares and jolt awake again screaming. Last night I recall repeating over and over that all I wanted was to sleep. Didn't work.
I'm trapped.

Hell awake, and hell asleep.

I do not know how much longer I will be able to stand this.

^ I know how you feel. >.>

^ I know how you feel. >.> I've been rather angry with myself and everyone around me the last couple of days, and I have no idea why. Hope you feel better soon, though. *Nuzzle*

And please feel free to interact with my deer if you want to, even when not using Kaoori or Takeshi. :')


My own little rant;
What is so 'special' about me, since I play TEF? There is nothing more 'special' than playing any other game, watching sports or sitting on facebook all day long. >.<
Obviously you don't know what you're talking about saying this, but it still hurts. I feel enough like an outsider where I live, and don't really want this to be just another thing that makes me 'different.'
