Hi! I love what you did with the drawing! I like those colours.

I love the outdoors as well (even if hay fever is a pain), but I've only ever been camping once my whole life... My first bonfire was at a friends party when I was 19...

In summer we normally go to the Alps for an entire week to go on day long walks and I love it! Because of the height my hay fever also disappears. Other than that I live in a pretty rural area with my parents, there's places you can walk for hours without having to see more than 10 people, the only people who pass those places are the ones who live there on the farms.
Too bad that I'm not at home during weekdays, I have to go to school in a 'big city' so we've rented a room there for me. I say big city, but compared to some big cities I've visited on trips its really just a town... Our country is too small for really big cities...

G'night floofy! sweet dreams.

cloud dress huh... I might like it... The colour is my favourite, but I'm not sure if I have anything to match... Too bad you can't view it on the dream avatar list yet...

Thank you! :)

I like like... 15 minutes away from the mountains here. My city is 'big' but it's all spread out cause it's also big on space. XD So we have a lot of people, but everything is far apart. It's nice that there aren't people all over, but it kinda sucks that there's not many place I can walk to easily. ^^;
We normally drive pretty far into the mountains. Into like the hunting grounds. We only ever see like maybe 1 person in a truck drive by out there over the 3 days we go. Not many people go up there. I've only actually ever camped at an actual campground once... it was weird having toilets... O.O Doesn't feel right when you're camping, lol. At least not to me. (even though it was kinda nice)

I'll give it to you. If you don't like it you're more than free to sell it. I hate listing items to sell, so it's really helpful to me to give them away. XD

really? Thanks!

I know what you mean, the one time I went camping we had all the amenities, a kitchen, bathroom and toilets for a group of 25 people... It just didn't feel like being out camping...
The city I live in during the week consists of small towns and villages that grew together and now form one big city. For our country it takes a lot of space and is pretty big, but it also still maintains a village mentality in some things... It's really old so all the buildings are old as well, lots of tourists visit, so it grew even more, but everything is still really close by... I can do pretty much anything I want on foot or bycicle...
It's also known for it's universities that are spread out throughout the city. I like that everything is so close, it makes it easier to live here, even though I still think it's too busy...

If I get one of the items you want twice, it's all yours!

yeah np, no need to give me anything back. XD Hahaha, I already have a good bit of my own items. I keep taking them off my wishlist as I get them >:)

Yeah, amenities kinda make camping pointless. .___. But it's still fun.
I wish thing were closer here. Closest thing to me is my grocery store, and it's still like a 20 minute walk to get there. QAQ

Wow! The closest grocery store here is at the end of the street, and then I have a choice, there're two grocery stores about 5 minutes away from here that are a bit cheaper... There's a bowling around the corner, french fries shops all around, cafe's , bars, pretty much anything I'd want is close by... There's even a park less than a minute away from here... Everything is really close, I also live right by a cinema and the train station is only a 10 minutes walk...

The 'big cities' in my country are still very small compared to other countries, so everything is compact and close by... I don't know a city out here that doesn't have things so scattered throughout... But then again, because we're so small, what seems like a big distance to us is a daily small distance to other countries... We only notice such things if we talk to people from other countries... If you start at the centre of our country, it's 2 hours tops by car to reach another country... And still there's people who think it's too far to go abroad...

Wow, it's like an hour to get to the next city from here... and I live kinda in the middle. I think it'd take about an hour to drive through my city. O3O
I wish I had things close by. But the grocery store has a coffee shop in it and a few small stores around it. And then a small garden center and food place across the street from it. Most of those places are kinda lame tho.

I think the closest park from here is like a 30-35 minute walk. I used to go there as a kid, but I had a bicycle then. XD haha. Oh well though, I can have my bf drive me anywhere I need to go.
I think the nearest cinema from here is like a 15 minute drive down the highway. @__@ We don't get to see movies that often, lol.. so I guess that's ok.

yeah, there's good points and bad points for having a country this small, the good points are that everything is really close by, but there's lots of problems that come with it... Because we're so small, we had lots of influence from other countries in our past, as a consequence, there's now three different main languages in such a very small country and all the conflict that comes with it...
But most people like us this way, they like how different we all are in ways of speech, how to do things and all that... But there's always some spoilsports who want to split us up (some of them are in politics, so that causes a bit of a problem) but we did manage to get a world record on longest period without a government...
in our country there's a saying that goes like this : 'And the farmer ploughs on'... It's a good view on our mentality regarding politics... Even when there was supposedly a crisis because we had no government, the regular people, and the farmers just went on with their lives as if nothing happened, and to us, nothing really did happen... So we gained the world record on the longest period without a government and we had a party instead of doing something about it... It was a fun party!

And I'm rambling again... I'll stop now... :qhehe:

I still feel like it's missing something, but I'll find out later...
I'm happy with it for now... Simple but nice...
Thanks for the dress! I like it!

Yours always look great too! Someday I'll also have to brush up on my colour-combining skills...
