Our guests have gone home and the kitchen was easy to clean. The house is spotless and the baby is sleeping. Life is good.

AI is awful and I hate it but forums have been slowing down a lot longer than that. I think it's because the forum generation has just grown up and gotten new priorities (jobs, families, etc).

Name: Marks, Eliza. "Marks", "Legs"
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Ethnicity/Nationality: Caucasian, dual citizenship (Canadian-American)
Rank: Going to be using US Marine Corps ranks for this, most characters will fall between Private and Sergeant
Role: (Rifleman, Fire team leader, etc.)

Physical Description:
A short description of your human appearance, not quite as important as we'll be in RI-1 shells most of the time. Also, include any unique decals or distinguishing features on your pilots particular RI-1 shell as well- kill tallies, custom art on the chest or back, former unit markings on the shoulder, nicknames written on, stuff like that. I encourage you to really make your RI-1 shell your own, though remember your character technically 'shares' this shell with up to 3-4 other pilots, who are on shift while you're not. That means your shell might have 3 or 4 unit markings on its arms, or perhaps you and your other co-pilots have decided on a really badass nickname or decal for your shell.

Psychological Analysis:
Fancy talk for 'Personality'. Give me a good paragraph or so describing your character's personality. Rule of thumb: the more detail, the better.

Service Record:
Marks was born into the military, raised on various military bases across the country. Ever since she was a child, she loved and admired the military community and what it stood for, so it was no surprise to her family when she enlisted on her eighteenth birthday. For her, basic training was more of a tempting challenge than an impossible task, and she made quick work of it. The military lifestyle suited her perfectly, and she came to rely on the strict schedules and discipline. Soon, it became as natural to her as breathing.
Until she got the wind knocked out of her.
Unlike her parents, Marks was always looking forward to her next deployment, often even volunteering.

Equipment: a list of equipment carried by your RI-1 shell, see the Equipment hider for notes on that.

Buddy, I'm drooling over here. Count me interested!
From the website for the Anglican Church of Canada:

"A priest is one who has a personal faith and spiritual life that is adequate to lead others. He or she:

Displays a mature understanding of a call to ministry, service and study.
Demonstrates a commitment to loving service in the church rooted in a sustained and growing love of God in Christ.
Cultivates a disciplined life of prayer, rooted in the Anglican tradition of common prayer, which responds well to the demands of personal formation and the expectations of public ministry.
Shows evidence of personal and spiritual growth and healthy self-awareness.
Exercises appropriate care of self, accountability to others, and has an awareness of sources of support available when needed.
Shows a commitment to live his or her Christian faith within the Anglican Church of Canada.
Demonstrates a healthy and loyal but not uncritical relationship to her or his bishop, diocese, province and the national church.
Reflects with insight on her or his personal strengths and weaknesses, gifts and vulnerabilities.
Discerns God’s presence and activity in her or his own life and in the lives of others.
Bears witness to his or her own experience of God’s love and grace in acts of evangelism.
Demonstrates a capacity to deal maturely in personal relationships with family and friends.
Models stewardship as a spiritual discipline in response to God’s gifts
Has read and continues to read the whole Bible in a systematic way."

Pastor things:
- Self reflection (keeps a detailed diary)
- I don't remember Anglicans talking much about the devil or hell, maybe I should try to go to church a bit and see if I remember
- Anglicans don't have confession - he thinks that it doesn't matter what horrible thoughts or ideas pop into your head (devil whispering in your ear? see above point) but rather how you respond to them (do you act on them/ignore them/act against them by doing good?)
- Synod stresses competency AND passion
While we're making warnings, I'll be going to Toronto this weekend for baseball games and Canada Day. It doesn't really matter since my character has yet to come into play, and I'll be checking here in the evenings anyway, but there ya go.
<Snipped quote by Obscene Symphony>

The only thing the Sims taught me is that I can drown people in a pool by removing the ladder.


Unfortunately I think they fixed that in Sims 4 :(

They did, however, add in such wonderful deaths as overexertion, with which you can bang the elderly to death.
*chases out crickets with fireworks*


Indoor fireworks aren't good! Didn't the Sims teach you that?
@Lady Amalthea Oh my gosh, hi Amalthea! It's been a long time! I see you watched M*A*S*H. Good choice.

As for finding a pen pal, I've had an oddly difficult time with it. The sites I look on seem to be full of people willing to email back and forth, but not actually write, which is the whole reason I want to get into this. Although, writing to someone stationed overseas could be interesting, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find someone close to my age (call me biased, but big age differences freak me out a bit).

A pen pal from Japan, eh? That must have been really cool, writing to someone in such a different place (assuming you're in North America, judging by the use of USD). Would you care to tell me a bit about that? Such as, what would you write about? Did you send only letters, or small sketches and other lightweight things I see people talk about mailing? How long did the letters take to circulate?
Sending physical letters by mail costs quite a bit, you know.


Yes, I'm aware.
I want so badly to have a pen pal! A good, old fashioned, snail mail pen pal, who I can send handwritten letters and other fun stuff to. I just got a lovely new fountain pen, nice ink and quality stationery - I want to use it!

So, am I the only one? Do any of you guys have pen pals? How did you find them? What do you send to them? Tell me!

Are you looking for a pen pal too? Hit me up! (Maybe read my bio first, to learn a bit about me before you decide). I'd love to talk to you a bit and see if we mesh!

Pen pals! Exclamation marks! Tell me I'm not the only one!
