Books

niquae — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:57:41 GMT

I was just wondering what kind of books you like to read. What genre is your favorite? Second favorite? Least favorite? Do you reread? Do you purchase them new in stores, as e-books, used, or borrow from the library? Do you swap books? Do you give them away to friends or strangers? Or do you sell them back? Who are some of your favorite authors? What are some of your favorite books? I would say my favorite genre is fantasy (and the sub-categories under fantasy), followed by romance (and ...

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

niquae — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:22:22 GMT

What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Do you prefer something exotic? Or do you like to stick with the usual? What flavor was the strangest you've ever tried? What flavor would you like to try?

For me, there is one good thing that came out of Gopets being canceled.

I have been officially writing my first novel. For those who knew me on GoPets, you know I was trying to write a book for a very long time. Well, I'm almost 30,000 words in; on my way to my 200th page. I literally wouldn't believe this would happen, if you told me last year. So, I guess some positive does come from the negative in life. Even though I'm closing in on my 200th page, I still have a long way to go. It's going to be a very long book; around 500 pages. I'm extremely excited, ...

What did you do this summer?

Chiswick — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:34:00 GMT

Summer break is about half way through now at least in Canada. Anyways, I'm just wondering what everyone has been up to so far. I just went camping last weekend near a beach. I am sore all over and have five giant mosquito stings on my legs, but it was really fun to get out.

Songs that get stuck in your head and drive you crazy :)

momtomaeghan — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 00:32:49 GMT

OK, I watched Dirty Dancing the other day with Maeghan. She had never seen it and it was one of my favorite movies back in college. Remember the scene where Baby's sister sings the Hawaiian song she is practicing for the talent show? Well, it is totally horrible and obnoxious and funny as heck - and now I can't get it out of my mind. Here is the part that keeps cycling through my mind: ***************************************************************** Hula Hana of Kamana Whala Hula Bay (yup, ...

Movies You Like(d)

niquae — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 05:11:04 GMT

Name a movie that you enjoyed, and one reason why you liked it.

I'll start off with Evita starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas. I like the music. We watched it (on DVD) during dinner. I wasn't able to finish watching it because my mother wanted to watch something else so now I am listening to the soundtrack on Napster.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

niquae — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:04:47 GMT

In anticipation of the movie that is coming out on Jul 1st, I decided to check out what the cartoon was like. The humor is rather juvenile but I enjoy the show. I hope not to be too disappointed with the film version, which looked somewhat interesting in the previews.

Is anyone else intending to watch the movie?

For Those Who Are Married

niquae — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:12:54 GMT

When I was working as an America Reads Tutor in a public school library, the librarian once told me that people tend to marry someone like their parents. For her, she had sworn never to marry a man like her father - and ended up doing exactly that. My mother laughingly agrees that this tends to be the case. So I was wondering, for those who are married, do you agree with this? For those who are not married, you can skip the poll and just add your opinion. Have you heard of this before? ...

Nightmares

niquae — Fri, 28 May 2010 16:48:42 GMT

Do you remember any of the nightmares that woke you up or remained in your memory after you woke up naturally? If so, share them. One would be nightmares that a cross between Godzilla and King Kong was coming to my city. I was a child who was living in an apartment at the time. Have you seen the film The War of the Worlds? If so, do you remember that scene of the space ship slowly covering the skies, inching closer to where the main characters were living? It's a pretty scary feeling, ...

Eclipse and the Twilight movies

niquae — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 03:02:13 GMT

So I'm hearing that this third movie is the best of the three. I've only seen the first one. I'm wondering, what about this movie makes people say that? Has anyone seen it yet? What do you think?

Forum Down?

niquae — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:07:21 GMT

I was surprised to find this forum down earlier today. I thought it was taken down for lack of active posters. I'm glad to see it back up! What happened?

What mood are you in?

PopPunk — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:20:30 GMT

Hey, well I am on the Twilighters Anonymous forum for hours just talking about my mood ..There's hundreds and hundreds of pages of moods on that forum... It's a great topic on there, and hey I thought this forum could get people talking more if it was something like this......So whenever your mood changes or something cool happens, jot it down here! :cheer2: It's actually a lot of fun! It also relieves some stress...so if you want to rant go on ahead!

You can use these emotes, if you like

LittleDende — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 08:46:58 GMT

I made these animated ascii emoticons ages ago, like 10 years at least, I bet... If you want to upload them to the website to use them, you can!

Time for a new laptop/computer?

niquae — Fri, 14 May 2010 05:49:54 GMT

My laptop is a Dell XPS M1210 with Intel Core 2 CPU, T7200@2.00GHz, 1.66 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM, 60 GB of HD. It was purchased about 3-4 years ago. Maybe a little earlier. After reformatting several times, I generally do not use up more than 20 GB of HD these days - mostly because I'm afraid of slowing my laptop down even more. Yet, some days it seems that the most it can do is run one program at a time - if even that - without slowing down. My AV is up-to-date and runs somewhat regularly, and I ...

Saw this advert for Happy Aquarium, and for some reason I thought of Margo.

Help my sister's adoption, and...!

LittleDende — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:48:51 GMT

Hello! My sister and her husband are in the process of adopting their second child, and they could really use some support! They've signed up for a fundraiser where people can buy fair-trade coffee, and half the amount goes toward their adoption fund, and the other half goes to fund schools for orphans in Ethiopia! And you get delicious coffee! Everyone wins! =D Oo, that was a lot of exclamation marks... The link, if you want to check it out, is here: http://www.justlovecoffee.com/fuschia If ...

greendelight — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:58:16 GMT

Anyone here into deviantART? :3 I've been lurking around the site and faving deviations for more than a year now. But I never uploaded any of my drawings for fear that they weren't good enough. Anyways, in the spirit of Valentines, I drew a picture of my crush. Feel free to check it out here: Click! Click! :3 (click the drawing for full view)

I would love a "GoPets" forum!

LittleDende — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:30:45 GMT

I don't know if I am the only one who still wants to talk about GoPets or not... We have a GoPets pictures forum, but no actual GoPets forum.
I dunno about anyone else, but I would love to have a forum just to talk about old GoPets stuff...
I know I could post about it here in Discussions, but it would probably get lost in with all the other topics...

2010 Winter Olympics at Vancouver

niquae — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:51:21 GMT

Is anyone following the Winter Olympics this year? I have not been following the Olympics for some years now although when I was younger I loved watching figure skating and gymnastics. This year, I decided to try to watch some of them. I found out that I think I would like to learn speed skating or some such. It looked fun. And last night's Pairs skating was lovely. Found a lot of music that I liked.

Is there any chance of gopets coming back?

betzy809 — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:05:11 GMT

Well, I know we all miss gopets and we are all optimistic and hope that it will come back. But realistically, is there any chance of GP to come back?

So, does anyone keep in touch with Erik or Lotus?

LittleDende — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:48:24 GMT

I'm just curious if anyone still talks to either them, and if so, if anything GoPets related ever comes up in the conversation. I would just love to know the news if there was ever any talk of something hapening with GoPets. I kow, wishful thinking and all... I've been really missing the game and the people lately, so I wrote a quick note to Erik on Facebook just saying that I missed it... haven't heard anything back from him, though. Maybe he's shunning all things GoPets. Well anyway, there's ...

niquae — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:15:09 GMT

I just came back from seeing it. It was so good! I only chose to watch it because of its high ratings. I didn't expect to have it add itself to my short list of favorite movies. I want to see it again - this time in 3D.

Did anyone else watch it?

Youtube Upload/Download Question

niquae — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 02:04:27 GMT

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me whether you are able to redownload any video you upload to Youtube.

I am hoping to be able to store the video captures I took of the last couple of days of GoPets on Youtube until I can reformat my laptop.

The "Perfect" Game

Asynjur — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 21:58:11 GMT

I've been thinking about what I really like in a game, and what I don't like. Below are some characteristics of my "perfect" game. I'm curious what others would like to see in a "perfect" game! - I don't want a single player game, I want a game where you can be very social and play with friends. But you aren't forced to be social when you don't want to be--you don't need a lot of people to complete game objectives. - I like to make new characters, so I'm frustrated ...

Would you all like to keep the current style or go to something more colorful. This site is for you guys.

It is lame to feel this way?

FreedomDeep — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:23:45 GMT

I don't know about you guys, but I am still feeling choked up about losing my pets, BST, FruitFarm (that I was going to reopen), and the fact that I may never get the chance again to be apart of such a great community. I came to Gopets from another game called "The Sims Online" where it was owned and run from a money-grubbing giant of a company called EA Games (don't get me going on the buyout of Playfish). The community there was horrible....so much flaming and trolling and people ...
