Welcome to Gaia! ::

*sniffs and gets really teary-eyed* You know I could never be mad at you, Ash. You're to good a person, I know you didn't do anything to intentionally hurt me. I'll never be upset or mad at you for stuff like that. And I'm glad you did split it off, because I wouldn't have wanted to be strung along, only to be hurt worse down the road. At least this way, you can concentrate more one what's most important right now, your schooling and life and all that, and we can still be friends without any problems. And that's a good thing =)

You know I"ll always care for you and be there for you and all that, and the fact that you still care about me (as a friend and all) really means a lot. *hugs tightly*


Sorry for cluttering up the sallies with this mushy stuff, everyone xD I'll be quiet now.



Anyway, Kriss, I wish Siren the best of luck sad

As for mantis, I think I remember the only time seieng one in real life was when I was like 8 and on the playground, and it scared the hell outta me and I started crying xD *was and still is a very squeamish girl around bugs of any type, even butterflies and ladybugs xD* but I do remember thinking it was cool looking, even if I wanted to run in fear of it xD



And, congrats Ed and Solemn, I wish you guys the best of luck that your relationship goes well =)

...to be the one who decides who goes next.

I've seen a few mantis' in my day, one time we caught one outside our house, and tried to make it a pet, but it wouldn't eat anything at all after a few days, so we ended up putting it outside again in hopes that it would be able to survive.

allthough I've never seen a mantis do anything like you mentioned kris, so I assume I've never made one scared... one timerecently while at work, I saw one on the hood of somebody's car, so I grabbed a stick and used it to get the mantis (which took a bit of doing... the thing started to crawl under the hood, silly bug) but I didn't want to use my hand, cause those pincers can be rather sharp (the one that we caught before, was nice to me... would just sit on my hand or knee or whatever... but didn't like my brother, and almost drew blood at one point)

well... after I finally got it off the car, I went to put it on a nearby tree... and it flew off when I tried to get it to climb onto the tree from the stick... seemed like a pretty nice lil bugger... just a bit silly xp

I've never had a problem with mantises, those and butterflies are two bugs that I have no complaints about =p



@Crenn: I know how you feel... when we used to have a so-called computer business (putting computers together then trying to sell them in yard sales) I couldn't get a stitch of work done as long as my dad was over me, he'd always tell me he wanted this done or that done, or certain software had to be put onto it, all sorts of things that were a waste, and time consuming... oh and now every so often when he has a problem he hollers for me, and then tells me to show him what I do, and even though I do he always complains that I never taught him how to do different things with computers. and I just give up at that point, and walk out of the room.

Erk... not good. Someone had my mobile number and knew my name and kept on calling me. I'm still pissed off and a little scared by the fact that someone I didn't know knew my name.

We all knew this, where have you been? XD

Especially since "Sirius" is a rather famous character in a book....I can't blame ya for being picky!

That, and "Sirus" and "Sirius" are pronounced diffrently.

Sirus is pronouced "SIGH-Rus" I took that from the Egyptain God Osirus, and took out the O.
Sirius is pronounced "Serious" and a harry potter character.

I think every so often, something like this pops up in the salies where someone is shocked by my gender. xd

LOL! I loved that! rofl
