Long time no see indeed, how've you been? Hope all's going well. Good to see you back at Terralux, though unfortunately I'm not going to be online much 'til the end of June.

A very long time - according to my 'top 10 most recent posts', I was last on about June 2006... But I'm not so bad thanks, and yourself? I'm only dropping in every now and then. I forget things so easily, like this, and I've got quite a bit on my plate these next few months. Maybe after June I'll be back too, though we'll see how it goes.

Not too bad either, thanks. Haven't really been on the ROC since September though. I'm guessing you've got exams too 'til June?

Bleeeeuuuurgh yes! And then what is supposed to be the longest holiday of my life, as the teachers keep saying. That, I'm looking forward to ^_^ In fact it starts next Friday, although I have the exams in between then and the end of June..
It seems like a bit of a ghost town around here, if you don't mind my saying. Is it the same on DAB? I haven't made it back on there to look at my account - I think my I used mybracken@whatever email on there and now it's stopped working so no password..

Yup, things are kicking off next Friday (21st) for me too though I've already done the speaking exams for the language subjects. How about you, are you a linguist or an artist? Seems those are the subjects which cause the most grief, either with the speaking exams or art/tech coursework and deadlines. The summer holidays... *Wistful expression.* I'll try and get things here on Terralux more active again when I have a spare moment then because it'd be a shame to let it die out. And agreed, things are rather ghost town-ish round here mostly 'cause Robin and I are busy with exams, Tinsy's joined the coast guards and I imagine Stoakly - I dunno if you remember him? - is also exam-ing this year. I haven't really been on DAB for well over two years now; things seemed to be slowing up there when things here on Terralux were really active. The standard of RP seemed to have fallen somewhat too though I expect I'm biased because of the amazing writers like Engel, Geordie and Tinsy that were active here at the time. Don't get me wrong at all though, 'tis still great to reminisce about the 'good old days' with people on DAB and I'm sure Audrey or whoever's leading DAB now, (Tangle retired ), would be able to help you with passwords and suchlike if you wanted.

I'm a linguist and an artist - so I've done my speaking exam, and in fact my art one too. They did cause a bit of grief though thankfully that's all over now, and I don't need to think about those two til September. Exam leave just started today and I'm already so bored I could eat myself. Yesterday, being the last day, was completely bizarre.
Stoakly, hmmm well sounds vaguely familiar, although it's been years since I've been around so I think I'm okay to be forgetful ^^ Oh! When did Tangle retire? Who else has left, anyone I might know, since er about 2006? God, it's really been a long time..
I expect my RP standards have fallen, I'm not as big a writer as I used to be, even if I was a lot younger back then. I'm more into my music than writing these days.

HOLY CRAP. people still come here. I feel really guilty for abandoning ship >_> Maybe you guys should like, make a new skin and advertise. o: Okay, I was a really lamoid member, but I've matured a lot now, and I still roleplay, hah. I've leveled up as far as writing, intelligence, and general being alive is concerned. So, I could always help advertise and stuff, I'd be willing to make a header image, as I now do graphics. but wow, everybody is so grown up here ; I've not even done my GCSE's yet, lol. It's nice to see the old palce is still just about alive, but we need to renovate. I don't want this place to go the way of Lancepaw's Fort. Everybody just gave up there. BUT WE WON'TTTTT

Hey, sorry for the sudden disappearance over the last few weeks, I'm sure Chestnut and Bracken both understand the reason why. Chestnut, wow, it's been ages! All the questions; how're you, what've you been up to, how're things over on DAB? Bracken, I understand what you mean about exam leave boredom. It could be a cunning strategy though; everyone's so bored that they might, just possibly, sign out of Facebook and revise... *shock* ;D Dunno about you, but I'm seriously looking forward to college next year. Welcome back too, Oakfang. I'm hoping to get more threads set up after my exams have finished the week after next and I'm sure I'll be advertising the site a little more then too. You're absolutely right about the need to renovate though, I've been promising to sort out a new homepage for a year and a half now - the word 'procrastination' hardly covers it, I know. The guys at Lancepaw's gave up? Even the OCC Chat?

Hang on hang on Ter, we're not the same age, are we? I always thought I was younger than you lot....unless by college you mean Uni? In which case I would be correct in saying I'm younger ^^ My exams finished on Wednesday I am free until September. Wonder what I should do?.. I totally agree that this place needs renovating/updating/whatever. Now that I appear to be back I can help, I guess ^^

I think I'm the same age as you, lol. Some confusion could've been caused by the mention on another thread of a work placement in China in a few years-? Dunno... Exams finished on Thursday! ;D My advice, Bracken: catch up on two years' worth of sleep and free time . I'm still trying to find a job for the summer at the moment, though I guess there's really not going to be many vacancies for the next few years. Anyone else managed to find work experience/a summer job? I'll get to work on the new homepage this afternoon. I found the codes for the old one the other day, I'd saved them in the deepest darkest depths of a folder inexplicably and enigmatically entitled 'Miscellaneous Web Design.' *Shakes head disapprovingly at the naming skills of her younger self.* I suspect my knowledge of HTML is very rusty nowadays but I'll have a go at improving the old codes. Edit: Five days without exams and I now can't spell... 'tis rather sad.

I did not see this China work placement thread >.< Well, the exams I've just finished were my GCSEs, so.. Yeah, I've not been sleeping much haha, but catching up on things I've been meaning to do for the few months, i.e. a reunion with some old friends Me and my friends from school had a 'book burning party' and made a bonfire of all the books we'd used for the past two years that we no longer need ^^ Very fun, I recommend it, haha. Haven't got a summer job but possibility has opened for part-time job in September. I haven't done HTML in years....I'm awful at it now, I bet

The party sounds good, Bracken. Best of luck for the part-time job in Sept. too. Hope everyone who collected results yesterday's happy-? Anyhow, I haven't been online for a while - apologies. Inevitable question: how's everyone's summer been?
