[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

Yeah you have to be careful. In big crowd things like that, I safety pin all my pockets and I try not to get tricked when people ask for money. I am careful to who I give things too. It is sad that you have to be that way but it is true

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah, unfortunately big crowds like this are magnets for certain types of people. A common thing in New York is having people get in your face and tell you how much you need to check out their "free" album. I don't know if that happens in Chicago but I didn't see it when I was there, so maybe that's how he got fooled. I actually lost a lot of money to people doing that the first time I was in New York, but since then I've learned about what they call a New York Negative, ie pretend they aren't there and keep moving.

@21308

Yeah, unfortunately that is what you have to do

[21308]

Happy freaking new year! My phone died just as I was getting ready to record the ball dropping so that kind of sucks, but I still had a good time.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Happy New Year!!! ^_^

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Happy New Year everyone!

[Akayaofthemoon]

Not having such a great day so just needed to say hey

EDIT: I swear I didn't mean that to rhyme blah... :(

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon That sucks, do you want to tell us what's up?

[Akayaofthemoon]

The grocery stores insurance denied my claim. I might have to get a lawyer cause I honestly don't see how they weren't negligent in some way for not putting out a sign or no one seeing it when it is right there by one of the counters. I can understand an isle but right in front of a counter is ridiculous.

I'm just upset and sad that all that pain and I'm going to get no help with my bills because of them

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon That does sounds terrible, I hope you do manage to get a good lawyer because it sounds like you may need one.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Yeah, that is what everyone has said and I already have one number for someone my mom's coworker knows. I will have to wait after the weekend which just makes me more upset.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah anticipation like that can really suck. I have to go to the store but if it would cheer you up maybe we can play that league match when I get back.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

I would have loved that but sadly I am not home so no internet till tomorrow and still not good enough to play league. Will have to wait two more days after today

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Oh that's cool. We should totes play when you can/feel up to it though.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

We should, it would be a lot of fun ^_^

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Thanks for adding me ^_^ Also I think anyone who plays League will find this video funny (I'm a Soraka main btw)

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

And that is why they changed every single one of her attacks except her ultimate XD she was an ass to play against back then. You might as well surrender instantly if you were up against her in any team. It was as he said...bull XD I love her, don't get me wrong...I'm a beast with her in ARAM games. Not too bad with her in Classic either but the update change was needed to make her more fair.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah, I'm really shocked to see how OP she got away with being. I'm glad that Riot seems to be on top of keeping their characters fair for everyone, because it seems like you basically would have been forced to have a Soraka on your team the way she was. That video was made back when I was mostly a mediocre Garen. I only say 'mediocre' instead of bad because I didn't run headlong into battle the way half of all Garens seem to.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Yeah, it was pretty much like that. They keep on top of their champions which I like. Sometimes the new updates make them too weak and they need some evening out later but they are pretty quick on problems.

I don't get why most Garen's rush in...makes no sense XD

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon I have a hypothesis that it's a combination of Garen being the champion you play as in the tutorial, being a fairly low entry level champion in terms of skill, and being a tank. New players will assume that 'tank' means 'pretty much invincible' like it does in MMOs so they can run in without any assistance. Garen players who feed are like an environmental hazard or something.
