What are you thinking?

yup, doing it right now

I just had a quick skim of all the different sections of the forum - no one has posted any poetry or stories since 2014. Those used to be some of my favourite parts of ToL - seeing different people's creativity. And I suppose it's been difficult to post in the Kerli sections when there hasn't been as much to discuss as in the past (circa 2010). I just miss everyone.

I do too

Same. I miss seeing the creativity. I really miss the blogs too. I always enjoy seeing what everyone is up to and the other things that go on in their lives.

I remember staying up all night in the weekends to try to sync up with the majority's time zones. And having conversations almost in real-time - sometimes people responded to topics so quickly that there'd be several new posts in the amount of time it took me to write my own response. I even tried to write up my poems/lyrics and blog at my boarding school during the week, all excited to post it to ToL and see everyone else's work in the weekend. High school was shit but ToL wasn't. This community is basically the only thing I miss from my teen years. Everyone come baaaaack

(and thank you to those who are still here )

Hey guys,what about doing the "introducing yourself" thingy again?
so we can see who's still or again in and well,i'm sure we all changed a lot over time,so it might be nice to read about everyone..

i'd be happy to hear from you

good idea!

I like that idea too! I actually just took a peek at my original introductory post. Can't believe it's been 4 years. And it makes me wonder what happened to those who had wished me welcome. I haven't seen many of them around in ages.

The behind-the-scenes video for Blossom is so interesting - makes me nervous about the Herbarium haha of course Kerli really knows her stuff

It's been assessment time over the past few weeks and I have my last exam next week so I've been busy trying to focus on that stuff - hence the silence on my end. Sorry!

How is everyone? I guess most people are heading into summer now?

I'm studying like crazy. Can't post regularly. As soon as I finnish we can start with the herbarium stuff if you guys are still interested <3

^I'm definitely still interested although it looks like my contribution will have to only be in writing. I checked with the people at customs and I'm definitely not allowed to send off native flora.

I've officially enrolled in ballet school and my grad school class starts next week. It's Dimensions of Spirituality in Counseling, which I'm really excited for because I've felt so spiritual lately. I've also been doing Gala Darling's Radical Self Love Coven, which has been fantastic! It's been a lot of quite different things keeping me busy. 

I'm also still interested in the herbarium! Hmm, I haven't checked on customs stuff yet. Pictures and writing would be wonderful too though! Still reminds me very much of old explorer's books, before photos could be taken.

Christina Grimmie died. I wasn't a fan so to say, but she was so talented and sooo young, too young. This is terrible. This world is all wrong.

I was just watching the most recent Black Friday video where she reacts to "40 Years of Goth Style" and near the end she stated a list of styles that they missed out and it included bubblegoth, which of course made me think of Kerli and I wondered if there was such a thing other than Kerli's style with the same name. So I googled "bubblegoth" and this blog post came up and I just found it hilarious so I thought I'd share it in case anyone else found it funny: http://www.womenofgrace.com/blog/?p=33406

It probably would've upset me in my earlier moonchild days but now it's just funny to me.

It's funny and kinda infuriating at the same time

"Do we really want them listening to songs with lyrics such as: “Mama you’re a liar . . . Mama you were so wrong . . . And I don’t wanna be like you, I hate the things you do” or watching her “bump and grind” against other women in her videos?"

Yeah right, let's teach kids parents can never be wrong and "bumping and grinding" against other women is something horrible.

Even more alarming is the fact that her Moon Children fans made her a set of tarot cards as a gift and seem to have a penchant for ghoulish trinkets. wrote:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes. We are evil or whatever. Omg this article made me laugh xD hahahahahhahahahah
This is beyond ridiculous.

Haha! I totally missed that "ghoulish trinkets" part.

On a side note, today is Eid-ul-fitr in my country, a Muslim religious holiday. I don't know if there are any others celebrating here on the forum, but if there are a happy Eid to them too

Happy holiday!

I've been gone a ridiculously long time and I'm so sorry. I hope everyone's been doing well. Sending huge hugs and a lot of love to everyone <3

Thanks Eid is always filled with tons of food, family visits and gifts of money for kids. I'm not a kid, but  still my sisters and I weaseled some money from our dad, lol.

hey there happy to see you back!

hiiiiii forums are so underrated these days

I was supposed to be studying NZ politics for my public policy paper and I've ended up reading about Estonian political parties for the past two hours instead D:

It's good to be back <3 I feel like I've missed a lot... how is everyone?

I was thinking that I hadn't seen anything from Kerli on facebook so I looked at her account and saw the black profile picture and cover photo again That terrified me last time! Excited to see what Diamond Hard is like

What did you think of Diamond Hard? I loved it <3

It wasn't my favorite of what's come out so far, but I added it to my workout playlist and it gets me really motivated haha. It's certainly grown on me.

I loved it.
So I was in Dubrovnik for the past few days. Wow. I was blown away. Any Game of Thrones fans here?

Beautiful views Little Phoenix!! I love it!
btw I love Game Of Thrones!!! have you seen all the seasons?

Hi guys!! It's good to be back how is everyone???

Yup, I've seen them all I did a tour with a guy from Dubrovnik (he's a licensed guide and was also one of the extras in the show - in the rebellion scene in King's Landing, when Joffrey(and the rest) was attacked). It was so much fun, I'd recommend it to everyone. We did the walk of shame too hahaha And saw the House of the Undying, Qarth gardens and a lot of other filming sites

I've never seen GoT, but that looks amazing! Sounds like you had an amazing time <3

I did!
What have you guys been up to?

Little Phoenix, great photos! I'm a fan of GOT too, but mainly the books. I haven't been able to watch the series past season 2 since tv shows aren't really my thing (I get bored). Looks like so much fun! Was the iron throne comfortable?

I have finally finished with my master's thesis. Defended it successfully, now only a few corrections to do and submit the final version, yay for me I rewarded myself by watching this old anime series called The Mysterious Cities of Gold. The main child character reminded me so much of the adventurous kid I used to be, lol.

Surprisingly, yes!

Seems you had a lot of fun!!! I would love to do a tour like that love the iron throne pic!

Hello, how is everyone here doing?

I have not seen this post till now
I still like to come here from time to time.

I am currently thinking about this insane world. Not long ago a half of Americans protested against Trump. Now a half of my country is protesting against this manipulator who was elected as president a few days ago (before this he was a prime minister). Media in Serbia is completely corrupted. There were so many irregularities during voting process (like dead people who were still on a list of citizens, and therefor someone could have just voted instead of them, bunch of people living in foreign countries (Serbian citizens) were prevented from voting, even some people living in Serbia weren't on the list and so on...). Now people are on the streets, but I don't know if that's going to help. Not sure what can be done. Shitty time to live in.
