@Akayaofthemoon Oh, so you'll be near Orlando! That's a pretty cool area, I actually went there by accident earlier this year. I really hope you get to go, Disney World is awesome! That used to make our family trips tolerable for me as a kid, it made sitting around on the beach doing nothing for several days and usually getting horribly sun burnt completely worth it.

@Akayaofthemoon Oh, what part of Florida? My family goes there every year, it's nice but honestly I always found it a bit boring.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Akayaofthemoon I'm the same way, I feel like I'm really lucky to have visited as many places as I have. I'm actually planning on trying to reward myself with a trip to New England if I'm able to do well this semester.

@HaltingBlooper Hm, I could probably live with that. I love snow quite a lot and I hate to dump on my hometown, but Portland sounds cooler than Cincinnati in pretty much every way.

@Akayaofthemoon That's cool! You've definitely lived in more places than me. My dad travels a lot so I've been to quite a few parts of the country, but I've lived in rural Ohio for my entire life.

@Akayaofthemoon That really is cool how it's been in your family for generations and everything. My family used to do something similar but sadly my grandparents on both sides of the family ended up selling their farms.

Wow, you've lived in even more places than I have. I live sort of near the mountains too, if a totally different set (range?) of them.

@HaltingBlooper Oh yes, I've seen quite a lot of snow. It snows several times a year here in Ohio, usually with plenty of school cancellations and lovely days where you can just leave all responsibility behind for a while. You live in Portland though? Color me jealous, I'd love to live there.

@Akayaofthemoon Oh really? That's cool! I had no idea your family had a business like that. I guess that means California really is how it gets portrayed in the media XD. I'm decent at gardening but I haven't tried it in years. My dad killed a tree I was growing when I was like 9 because he somehow thought it looked like a weed (wtf dad) and I was to traumatized to ever try it again.

I agree! ...But uh, have you ever actually see snow?

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Akayaofthemoon That's really cool. I don't know that we'd be able to grow nuts but my family has been talking about trying to grow vegetables or something in our garden. It'll probably have to wait until next year though since pretty soon everything outside in this state will either be hibernating or dead. And yeah I like to do stuff for mother's day a lot too.

Oh gosh that would be perfect, except maybe snow instead of rain for me.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Akayaofthemoon Okay I'll try that! And thanks, I try. Birthdays are sort of a biggish deal in my family so I know she'd do the same for me.

Ah, that's really good to hear. Hopefully it does, make sure to rest and stuff. *virtual cup of tea for Akaya*

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Akayaofthemoon It was! Her sisters and some of her friends came over and had some cake and tomorrow I'm going to get her this coffee she likes and attempt to make her her favorite breakfast (pecan pancakes.) I'll tell her you said happy birthday, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

I'm sorry you're sick! I hope that ends soon.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Akayaofthemoon Ha thank you. I'm doing my best to deal with it.

@pyroman *hugs back*

How are you guys doing? Per the usual I'm really busy but I can still talk a little bit if you want. It's my mom's birthday, so that's been fun.
