RyePotatoes

So lately I've been busy with school. I didn't have much time visiting here on AF and it is possible for me to be a lot more busier than before causing me to maybe visit less often than I can before. This is a big change for me since AF has been a part of my daily life ever since 2015. Of course, I wasn't that active before. I can even still remember myself being so unsure and scared whether I'll join the various threads this forum had to offer before or not. I was scared of course. Maybe they won't agree with my comments and suggestions. Maybe they'll find me weird enough not to talk to me. AF wasn't my first forum that deals with anime. My cousin and I decided to troll around here for the time being because I was having a hard time on another forum which I was a member of that time. I needed a place that I can hide to for a while. The goal wasn't even set for me to reach a year here but I guess things changed. My name back then was MaskedMalevolent which I find too childish after a few months that I changed it to RyePotatoes afterwards. The Rye is the first three letters of my real name, Ryelle. The Potatoes is because I feel like a potato. There's no special meaning behind it actually After some time the trolling changed when I met new friends in here and I've even established a family tree around here. It was more than what I expected it to be. In the past two years I can't say that I have been active everyday and for me that was fine. The forums grew and that 500+ members on the forum statistics doubled and there were a lot of new members again that I've met. There were dramas and all but I thought Internet life is just like that I guess. I've actually missed the old friends I had here. Including those friends that changed and moved on with their lives and I can't say that's the best part of it. I hope this blog entry helped you to get to know me better by knowing why I joined AF. I can't say this is my best asset but I thought it'll be better for you guys to get to know my darkside ( which became my reason for joining this forums) once in a while rather than thinking I'm such an angel or anything.

Arigato Senpai!

Senpai, Are we still going to migrate the past community reviews that was posted in the old forums here?

Okay, so I have a lot of points to say since I did kind of relate to your experience but not all. First, I've been drawn to food network as well Well, not as long as you but just recently and waaaaaaah, I definitely love watching cooking and stuffs since I can't do much myself. I can cook rice in a rice cooker though. Does that count? Second, I've watched a few of Mark Crilley on youtube since I did kind of searched youtube to practice sketching realism which kind of a bummer since I can't get the hang of it yet. And for my answer to your question, I've got into anime because of these anime shows that were showed on our local television channels back when I was young. My mum kind of unconsciously influenced me too since she didn't know what anime was back then but we would often watch Slam Dunk every morning from Monday to Tuesday. P.S. I think there was a same thread like this around here

As for me, the things causing my sleepless nights are neither of the stated causes above It is usually caused by things that are related to school like I have to study for the the upcoming exams on the next day or like I need to finish my research paper that is due the next day and so on. And I also have to be honest that watching horror movies due to peer pressure that includes me getting tied to the arms of my friends can also cause me to have those sleepless nights.

Welcome to the forums Elise! I really like your name to be honest. It definitely sounds dainty and all. And I've gotta say, your avi is sooooo kawaiiiii! It is definitely nice to meet you and I would definitely love to see you around in the forums!

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Honto? Yeaaaaah, a big sister of one annoying 16 year old and a sweet 9 year old A little mature? Hmmmmmm, maybe Totally agree with this one

Definitely Date! A guy with kawaii nekos and an annoying attitude

It was a typical Friday night. I was sitting on my bedside table with my laptop right in front of me with three tabs opened on my Google Chrome. One was AF, the other was on my Facebook and the last was on my Youtube which showed the list of my favorite Youtubers I subscribed to varying from beauty vloggers to art gurus. It was another tiring day, I just came home from a day of babysitting my younger sister and I have no idea what to do. I've seen the not so busy activities on AF that day and I was planning to make a blog entry or add a picture on my gallery. I was reading through the threads until one notification appeared together with a ding that I wasn't expecting. It was from an old friend that is now my acquaintance due to some unfortunate events. The person left a message with only two letters, "Hi." with an annoying meep sticker that I used to love. Being a weak person as I am I replied with a single Hello and things came rushing back. All the joy, the excitement, the giggles I let out and the pain that rot me to my core came rushing back. It was a storm of mixed feelings and as we continue talking I felt all of it all at once. I need to act cool. I need to show this person that I'm not bitter. I need to show this person that I'm not the me that this person knew back then. I need to stand my ground. So we talked and talked and talked. Through the exchange of "what's up?" and "how are you?" the conversation went longer and finally after some time I was able to muster the courage of ending the conversation I never wanted to end. Things change. Relationships change. Nothing remains constant no matter how much you'll hold something tightly within your clutch. The bond I shared with that person changed and somehow I feel no regret about it. Of course the first few days and months were painful but eventually you'll grow and somehow adapt to that big change. Let go of what you need to let go. Don't keep those remaining tingling feeling and let go of it all. No good can result from all those tingling feeling. Be brave to take another step forward and don't ever look back!

*goes to my potato fortress*

Waaaaaaaah, really?! Too bad.

Oh right! It's in December Yeaaah, is that a problem?

Mine is actually a poem for our spoken poetry. Hope this poem can touch hearts! "Untitled" He was another Christian Grey in town While she was idiotically an Anna Steele It was Superficial Yet to her, it was Profound True Love Perhaps Days passed, her feelings grew It was love she said like she knew It maybe a laugh to few But she believe it was love's cue In bed they were domestic A love she thought as majestic Their nights in sheets were frantic Trying all sorts of antics That night as he peeled of her lace He didn't dare to look at her face He started moving in a fast pace With her below in place It was love she was sure But to him it was lust so pure It was not longer a romantic gesture Something she stayed to endure She felt belittled In the end they were untitled

Mine is Gossamer. It's a book way back 2006. I've actually encountered this book because of our school library which contains pretty much old books from the 19-forgottens So I read this book when I was still in 7th grade which is 5 years ago. The book is about dream givers and how these dream givers influenced the life of an old woman and a boy. I don't know why but I've been attached to it ever since. Maybe because I've always been curious about dreams and what are they meant for and that book actually showed me what it meant even if it's fictional it still stirs up the mind and gives an answer to my unanswered curiosity ever since.

I absolutely can't wait for that more to come.

No?
