(AMIDST GENERAL INDIFFERENCE, tomorrows cancelled)I didn't want to use this website as a personal diary, but it seems like I have to, this time at least.
I'm going through.. let's say hard times, atm. Nothing too bad, yet it made me think over my life to find out what is really important to me. And of course, I wouldn't want an online game to be part of the 'important things'. Too many things are affecting me right now irl, I don't need to add any in-game dramas on top of that. I'm too sensitive for that, right now. Also, this year is supposed to be a turning point in my life. My bday is in ten days, and it kills me to say it, but I haven't even reached half the goals I had fixed for me to reach this year. All the things I was sure of until a few months ago now look all hazy, and vague, and I don't know yet if I still want them to happen, nor if I'm able to make them happen. In other words: my life sucks. For all those reasons, I took the decision to have a little hiatus with the game for now. I'll have all the blogs written in my draft box published, and I'll do my best to keep up with the relationships I really care about, but I may also end a lot of them, because I don't want to waste another precious minutes clicking and scrolling, only to make sure bars I don't give a damn about stay gold and shiny. That's how things are going to be in the near future. If I end a relationship with one of your characters, please don't feel offended, and just see it as an opportunity to stay away from the worst emo you could possibly meet. :D That said, happy new year.

![]() Goodbye Kate, hello Cate. For want of finally making up my mind about which avatar I should use for the boys, I decided to change the one I was using for Prune. -Kate Harrison sure was lovely (maybe I'll keep using pictures of her sometimes), but I bumped into another girl with her face as an avatar (that makes 3, now!), and thanks, but no thanks, I don't want her to become the next Miranda Kerr on Popmundo. (no offense, Randi!) The only thing that scares me is, last time I changed Prune's avatar (she was Zoe Kravitz, back then), her hubby died. Please everyone, don't make me regret my vain whims, and STAY ALIVE! Thank you. <3 ![]() For the few of you who've been wondering, YES, I'm still totally off on the weekends. I know it sucks, but hey, buying a penthouse, a jet, and a billion pair of shoes, isn't as easy in real life as it seems to be when we take a peek at Prune's life, haha. In other words, I'll probably be much more active when I'm a millionaire. Until then, take care of my puppets while I work hard. -Maï ![]() As you may have noticed, I'm not as active in the game as I used to be - and unfortunately, I can't promise that the situation will get any better with time. Because the time is what I lack. Time, and motivation. Most people I used to rp with are either busy (lazybones!) either dead, and I'm not even talking about the ones I abruptly kicked out of my characters' lives when I realized that they were making me act like an emo. Here, I said it, I'm an em... I mean, I'm losing interest in this game, hehe. Not that I want to quit it at all, but... I don't know. My characters live through pre-written blogs, yet my draft box has its limits, and it won't last forever, thats for sure. Also, it seems like the two players whom my chars are bandmates with are being as busy as me, and we're stuck at the bottom of the ladder (MR #77 for Black Feathers) when I ACTUALLY KNOW that they're skilled enough to reach the top 10. The bands aren't the only things I'm messing up, tho. I couldn't even celebrate Remus's 16th birthday properly (if we except that bday kiss he gave to Kay, yay!), and I'm such a robot that Matt and Mag are basically stuck at the beginning of their relationship (as if they hadn't been dating for almost 14 YEARS, now!); and I'm not even talking about Prune, who's the most active YET the least interesting of all these days (who would like to befriend a grouchy whore?). Now, so much for the complaints, because some awesome things still entertain me there: such as Black Feathers's GSG album (Hills & Pills), and Remus's adoption, which was approved a couple hours after his birthday (yes to miracles!), or the people who keep paying attention to my chars despite the poor rp partner I am. <3 Thank youuuu. ![]() Again, to those waiting for me to answer their messages : i'm really sorry. I still don't have a running computer of my own, which means I spend my time borrowing others' machines, and it really sucks. All the avatar pictures, notes, and stuff I keep for popmundo are saved on a memory stick (sigh), and I still don't know when I'll be able to buy a new macbook. (On the other hand, I have a 200 pages master dissertation to write this year, and I really don't feel like typing it at the library! Therefore, salvation may come sooner than expected.) Now. I really don't know why playing with Prune pisses me that much these days. My bad mood reflects on her (I know it shouldn't), which pisses me even more, and I always end up more frustrated because she's supposed to be the crazy one, not the jealous/zealous/lonely one. Anyways, thank Frank, Remus is here! He's the only one whom life exactly is how I want it to be (ok, Mag is fine too!). And he's turning 15 today! Time flies so fast! I can't believe Søren is turning 16, also. I wish I had taken advantage of this char a little more, because I feel quite stuck with his weird/forlorn personality now, even though it's really amusing to have one char who's not finding any fun in parties, sex and booze, unlike the others. I hope I'll find out what to make of him, or else I'll be forced to deprive him of any role-play, and use him as a musician only. :/ (watch out: rambling here) I also have SUCH a hard time finding avatars for the two boys. Don't get me wrong, I own at least a hundred pictures that would be perfect for the two, yet I can't make up my mind!!! It really breaks my heart to have to dismiss such cuties like Tobias Sørenson, Charlie France or even Conor Doherty, either because their hair are too short (yes, long-haired boys tricked me too!), because they smile too much, or because I've seen them on others already. I'm currently hesitating between Erik Andersson (blondie...) and Felix Branch for Remus (and another one whom name I don't know - YET). And for Søren, I can't make up my mind between Jaco Van der Hoven (too common on popmundo I'm afraid!), Tomek Szczukiecki, and Jester White. <indecisive person here> That's all for today xx
![]() If you don't hear from me, I'm kept away from pixels. My computer is down. Which means I'll be slower than ever in the upcoming weeks (months?). I still can login with my mobile but there're so many features I can't access; I'm afraid my connexions will get fewer and fewer (as well as shorter and shorter). I wish I could say that I will buy a new computer soon but with summer days coming soon, I'd rather spend my hardly-earned money to go away and enjoy a well-deserved vacation. Anyway, stay tuned! ...who knows what kind of gift my generous boyfriend could offer me for being such an amazing bird. *coughs and flutters eyelids* ![]() Heeey guys! Great news! I've joined the French Translators Team. Which isn't really a team since we're only two people; but my partner in crime is the kindest so it's great. Plus we've already done some good work together before. Now I have all this pressure above my shoulders! What if I mistranslate something, huh? Every french speaking player will get mad at me for having messed up their characters' lives and I'll have to kill Prupru to avoid their wrath. :') No, I'm kidding. The only pressure I have is that I had to join back the Paris forum (I had left it a while ago because of the constant free-for-all it seems to be), and kobe knows why, I always end up getting involved in politics and puerile debates when I'm there. Some people really know how to pull the trigger. Anyway, popmundo's life is good. I may be rather busy/off-ish in the upcoming days, but I'll be back in full swing right after. xx The magic still works!
I still enjoy spending time here. Ok, not as much as 1000 days ago, when I could stay online 10 hours in a row if something interesting was happening, but still. A few months ago, when Greg's ppm and I (not that we know each other irl) have decided to put an end to Black Feathers, it was mainly because of the Fast Touring, and the move to P2, and the endless clicking and scrolling those two changes had involved. But I have dealt with my boredom now, I really hope he has, too. Also! I have applied to become a french translator. My knowledge of french grammar is rather good, so it may not be such a big deal, right? (RIGHT?) I just hope my english doesn't suck too much. :| I've been told that the authorities are now looking into my past to see if I've always been the white dove I claim to be. Anything they might find, I deny, haha. xx It has already been 2 popo-years since I had my chars move to Mongolia. At first it was just a lame excuse to keep Prune and the kids silent, and to avoid a rp that would have taken too much of my time, but I must say that it was much more enjoyable than expected. ...And much more absorbing, also.
I would like to have them all back to Copenhagen (or London?) now, but it feels like I've lost any interest in having them living in a *normal* city. Plus they all have lost so many friends while I was away that I wouldn't even know where to start. By posting another ad in Dr Snuggles? By just going with the flow and keeping up with the rp just for the sake of it, no matter how lonely my chars are? I lack creativity, and I'm not exactly in a good mood so it doesn't help me to make choices. Anyway, I guess I just needed to grumble a bit. I already feel better, hehe. |
