I realized a serious issue when I tried exchanging FCs on Miiverse. I got banned for 2 weeks. Just for exchanging FCs. And YES Nintendo, I realize you are just covering your asses, and kids go on Miiverse too, but I wanted to play with people online and exchange FCs. Not just Dream Addresses. So I came across TBT. And Nintendo can't police me for posting my FC on the internet. I have met some GREAT folks on here. I even opened up a shop in Re-tail. I have obtained rare sets, won auctions, hosted auctions, traded with SO MANY people, even hosted giveaways and contests, because all you guys are super awesome and generous. I have made friends on TBT, in September I celebrated my birthday on Animal Crossing while playing online with friends I met here from all around the world with TONS of party favours and all sorts of fun stuff. TBT has enhanced my ACNL experience. That's why I joined. Its helped me earn badges, like the Gold Bell Saver Badge, and the Visitor/Host Badges, The Shopping Badges, Catalog Badges, etc.
Thanks for your question!

I don't, actually. I have never captured the appeal. I might get into it one day, there IS a HUGE hype. But I just don't have time or money to invest in it right now.
Thanks for your question!

I can name two:
Its not really can question but I will answer it anyway Haha! 1. I was at a Pizza Hut buffet when I was a kid with my best friend and her Mom and I went to the buffet to get a slice of dessert pizza, and I was staring at the slice of delicious pie in front of me I wasn't paying attention, I sat in the wrong booth with a strange group of people and just started chowing down on my dessert! It took me like 2 full minutes I was seated at the wrong table, and the poor strangers didn't know what to say that some strange kid just sat down with her dessert at their table and started eating....
I was very embarrassed. 2. Flash forward to when I was 12 years old and in Air Cadets (kind of like Boy or Girl Scouts, but more militaristic and you can join the Reserves afterwards). I went to summer camp (which is on a military base) for 2 weeks Basic Training and I was the top of the class. At the end of the training there was an awards ceremony. There were awards for Top Cadet of your Flight (your group of 30 people that you trained with all the way through) Top Drill (Drill being marching, saluting and all that good stuff - I went on to becoming a Drill Commander), and Top Barrack (Sleeping Quarters - so if your barrack inspection was top notch every morning my your flight commander). Those awards were medals with crowns on them, so being awarded all three was known as the "Triple Crown". I was awarded with the Triple Crown. Then, *drum roll*, all the cadets who got Top Cadet of the Flight award were evaluated and one was chosen to be Top Cadet of the Squadron Wing - which was like 500 kids. And guess who won? Me. So why is this embarrassing? I will tell you. The Commanding Officer calls my name, I yell, "SIR!" at the top of my lungs, and begin marching to the front of the parade square to receive my award. Its a big parade square, so its a LONG march. Now I have done a lot of training the past 2 weeks, and although I have eaten well, I probably have lost a few pounds from all the exercise so I am skinny as heck. So my uniform dress shirt starts to slowly untuck itself from under my belt..... and then completely untuck itself..... and I can't stop marching, I have to maintain my posture and keep swinging my arms at full length which only untucks it more, and my name was called my the Commanding Officer so its not like I can stop to tuck it in and continue marching..... no..... I have to go up to the front to recieve my award for "Top Cadet chosen out of 500 cadets" with an untucked shirt. And the newspapers are there taking pictures, parents are taking photos. The CO says, "Cadet, you do realize your shirt is untucked, right?" "Yes, Sir!" I reply (SUPER HUMILIATED IN FRONT OF MY CO) "It untucked on my way marching here, Sir! Permission to tuck it in, Sir, to receive my award!". "Permission granted" he said. And I quickly tucked it in and got my plaque, but not before a few shots were taken of him handing it to me with an untucked shirt. Word got back to my Squadron about the ordeal and the pictures spread around, and it was so jokes, because not only was I legendary for 1. Getting the Triple Crown (which rarely ever happens), but 2. Getting the Top Cadet of the Squadron Wing Award with an untucked shirt like it was some prank I was pulling on the CO or something!

Don't you know? If you foretell the prophecy, you will set off a chain of events that will stop it from occurring! "They" won't be pleased. You will be severely punished for your actions.

No, actually. I am not afraid of bugs, spiders, heights, or speaking in public (I have lectured in front of 200 students on 5 occasions and been just fine). I am also not afraid of blood. I am not squeamish. To be quite brutally honest, my mother bled to death right before my eyes 4 years ago. She died by internal hemmorage and there was blood absolutely everywhere. I am not easily frightened, no.
Even more darker stuff....
However I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, so I am Anxious a lot, which is a bit different than frightened. I just worry about things a lot. I am very pessimistic. I used to have episodes of PTSD from several traumas that have occurred throughout my life from seeing my mother flat-line when I was 8, watch her bleed to death when I was 19, being physically abused by my father, sexually assaulted from other people, etc. And, while we are on the topic of my mental illnesses, I also have Bipolar Disorder so my mood fluctuates between depression and hypomania (not to be mistaken for Multiple Personality Disorder). I am more depressed than anything though. And suicide claims the lives of more Bipolar people than any other mental illness, including Major Depression statistically speaking, according to my Abnormal Psych textbook. Not a fun disorder to have. And its 80% heritable. So back to the "not having kids" question - thats part of the reason why I don't want kids.

That's why I put some stuff in Spoilers, so I don't bother people.
But I am open in real life too. Not like, crazy, in-your-face open when its inappropriate. But if someone asks, I will tell them the full story, flat out. No holding back. I found talking about my past has helped me cope. In fact, talking about MY past has helped OTHER people cope with THEIR issues too. Me being so open about my story has inspired people that they can get through whatever they are going through. If I can relate to someone's problem, like the death of a parent, or rape, suffering from mental illness or living in youth shelters, whatever, while still being a top-student, a caring friend, a loving girlfriend, an awesome drill commander, etc.... living my life and being a success story while still facing adversity and being resilient, I can give people hope that they can follow the same path instead of letting adversity wreck them. I feel being super open is important because of that. If I can change someone's outlook on life because they hear what I have been through and feel more confident that they can brave the storm they are facing, instead of turning to drugs, sex, alcohol, abuse, addiction, or other unhealthy coping mechanisms, then I feel I have fulfilled my purpose in life. I want to change lives. I want to leave a positive impact on the world. I mentioned I am Catholic, I went to confession after a suicide attempt saying I "attempted murder on myself" but that I am compliant with what my doctor says, I take my medications as prescribed, I go to therapy, etc, at certain times of the year (November and March) my mood drops to severe depression. That's just how my mood cycle goes, usually triggered by stress because midterms are around then. The priest knew I wanted to get my PhD in Psychology to become a professor and teach other psych majors of the future who will go on to become therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and people who treat people with my disorders and other illnesses. He said that path was "saint like", and through my suffering, other people live. I can share my story and help other people through their struggle. If there is a God, God didn't cause all these horrible things to happen to me for no reason. If there is a God, and if Catholic Doctrine is true and "God has a Plan", then that "Plan" involves me suffering and sharing my suffering with others to help them grow as people and better the community. Even if its not true, its a nice sentiment to believe my suffering isn't for nothing. Because already sharing my story openly has helped A LOT of people, both in small and big ways. So I thought I would share my story and words of wisdom here on TBT as well.

Well, they were wrong about my place of origin, they can be wrong about me wanting to join the forum too
Favourite Metal? Tricky for someone who knows the Periodic Table..... I choose Copper. Because I like how it oxidizes.
