juuldude : It was about 8 years ago, so must scars have gone away. I do however have a slightly noticeable scar near my eyebrow and there's even a spot on my eye brow where hair doesn't even grow!

Do I have a childhood trauma? Sure, I usually refer to it as my childhood! (just kidding... sort of)
To avoid get too personal I'll just put a minor trauma.

I
was like six years old when this happened. My brothers and our friends
were all outside playing hide-and-seek+tag. It was my turn to seek and I
had just finished counting. I scanned the front yard, nobody was in
sight. I looked toward the back yard and saw someone trying to hide from
me. They knew I'd seen them and began to run, so I gave chase. I ran
about half of the length of the house when I tripped. Normally tripping
was no big deal, we got hurt left and right in those days. but this time
my foot had hit a piece of cement that had been sticking out of the
sidewalk. This increased the speed/power of my fall. I face planted  the
ground and slid for at least half a foot. That's about all I remember
about that actual event. My next memory ,however, was I nearly 45% of my
face being a scabby mess. I had gotten a few stitches and probably
cried a river.

I suppose that would fall under traumatizing. Huh, haven't told that story in awhile. It does feel good to let it out....

(Sort of) concluding my comment from earlier. Nightmares can be good and bad depending on how you take them. I used my nightmares to overcome and understand my fears (good). Nightmares can also scare the crap out of a person (bad). When I get scared, usually of irrational things,  I just think of the thing scientifically. Science and knowledge make the world less intimidating.

I rarely have nightmares anymore, but when I do they mostly end up as lucid dreams. (A lucid dream is a dream where you have control over yourself). When I find out I am lucid dreaming I try to calm down and then escape anything frightening or dangerous. Maybe you could try to lucid dream?
Hope I could help!

I'll start by saying this. I live in a country of relative peace, the only problems with the government here is that they are corrupt, hateful, liars, manipulative, and the list goes on (America ). Point is ,I can't really imagine how war in my own country would feel, I've only ever  experienced gang violence not "real" war.

You shouldn't lose touch with reality or your other world. To me it sounds like you still need the other world, it seems to be an escape mechanism or sorts. Don't feel like your a freak either. Believe me those kinds of thoughts never help.

Sad? Don't be sad, while I can't tell you the meaning of life (don't know it myself) I can tell you it is worth while to be alive.  Do you have a realign or anything like that? If you are Christian like me, you can read a simplified version of the bible. Look up verses that help explain how you feel and how to fix it
I'd type more, but I have got to go (have to get off the laptop now).

I would have to say my favorite vegetable is potatoes. They are delicious baked, fried, deep, fried, raw, mashed, and boiled. You can do so much to them and they almost always taste good.
My second favorite is cucumber. Are they a form of squash or something?

Singelli : WOW! I can't believe I actually won! This is quite spiffy (great)! Thanks a lot, I actually didn't expect to win!? My address is......? In a message I'm sending to you! Sorry for the lack of words, just really excited!

Thanks!

Hi Boxia! Where you get that name? Just kidding, please don't get mad at me....
 I'm sure you'll enjoy Vizzed a lot. This is a great site full of many "wonders" and "opportunities" . The members and moderators are all very nice, so don't fear to ask questions! When I first joined I didn't post very much either. After awhile I finally decided to take a look around, and I haven't left yet! (I've been in the forums for about a week or two).

Might as well enter again (using this forum to get myself to post more-ish)  How about this? http://www.r4flashcart.com/8-wood-r4i-gold-3ds-flashcart-for-3ds-xl-3ds-dsi-and-ds-lite.html
I'm pretty certain this has been up here before , but I'll reuse it (if I can).  My R4 is for the Ds Lite or something along those lines. My point is that it will not work for my 3DS. It would be pretty cool to transfer all of my DS roms onto my 3DS.  I'll play games like TWEWY, Phantom hourglass, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 Grimiore of the Rift, but I digress.

Once again Thanks for doing something like this! From some of your post I can see that you seem to be a pretty kind person.

Sorry for the bad quality... (Behold my amazing ms paint writing skills!)

I used to get bullied all the time. Then I  manned up and learned how to stop it. They used to talk all sorts of crap and once in awhile even try to push me over. One day I just got fed up and gave them a very.... strongly worded warning. Basically I told them if they like to keep there blood in their bodies don't ever look I my direction again. I had to teach myself  two things, one of which you probably won't  get out of a teacher/principle. 1) You can't let words hurt you. I know that sounds unoriginal, but it's true. 2) If you don't take charge of the situation they will. One of the worst things I did  was ignore them. In my case that didn't stop them, it actually made them try harder to mess with me.

So in short I don't like it when bullies try to tell you who you are or why you are "worthless". I don't let words or peoples mean hearted opinions hurt me any more.  I am mentally on a higher level then the childish people who see a use in bullying others, and I know that. Therefore I have rendered myself invincible to them.

(I am not telling anyone to start fights or cuss people out. I simply have stated what has worked for me in the past.)

I don't live in North Carolina so I can't send you any (cause I can't get my hands on them either).  The next best thing would be making them right? I tried searching for them, but came up short. I did, however, find a recipe for something sort of similar. They're not chocolate raspberry balls, but they are chocolate covered raspberries.  hope this can help!
Sorry I couldn't help you out anymore then this.

I also found this recipe for Raspberry fudge balls as I was typing. Here that is http://www.cooks.com/recipe/hx9tr1zz/raspberry-fudge-balls.html

I hope you have a merry Christmas anyway!

Nah, nah, nah. (No) I would actually avoid such predictions or knowledge. I'd end up doing something uneducated that either causes me to die earlier then prescribed or gets me arrested. If I didn't do something dumb, I might waste what time I had left trying to extend my life: therefore making life nearly pointless and? tedious. Knowing such a fact is more danger then it is worth.

Never. I never much fancied The Fat Man. I'm 14 now so it would be pretty ridiculous if I still did. I don't think I ever bought the story of a magical overweight white man coming all the way around the world  to deliver a name brand toy to a little boys house. I may have done it once when I was eight or something, but just to make my mom happy. The fact that he wasn't real never really bothered me. I was probably still immature and selfish back then. So the only thing that mattered was getting something.

Thanks to both of you!

This is a very great thing you are doing! In fact I'm almost scared to post here...
As my first entry I'll put this http://www.amazon.com/The-World-Ends-With-Nintendo-DS/dp/B00136MBHA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387824298&sr=8-1&keywords=twewy

It is a DS game from 2008. I've played it, but never owned the actual game card. I had it on a R4 that my 3DS refuses to play/open/us.

Thanks for doing this! (message me for address and such if I win)

Singelli : Thanks, and God bless you, too!? So far, I've only had the ask the staff one question. They were very helpful. I think I've got the hang of the way things work around here (quite an interesting and complex-ish system). About the systems... Although We've got quite a few of them, most of them aren't hooked up to any TV and can't be played very often. (also I forgot to put the gameboy Micro on the list ) We don't tend to sell our consoles, though they tend to break. We (or at least I)? don't mistreat them so I think it is just time taking it's toll on them.

supernerd117 :   Heh, that was pretty clever.

Razor-987 :   My that is a lot of post/CP....
I never much got into pokemon... Lots of people have said it is good, and even tried to get me to play it. To me the idea of new pokemon just seems so worn out. The old ones looked quite alright, but now (the new ones) they look like the creators either ran out of ideas or just tried way too hard. I think I'll eventually give the old games a try, but for now I've got a list of games I plan on finishing. (I certainly hope you were referring to Pokemon) 

P.S. I can't reply to every post, but don't let that stop you guys from posting!

(My favorite Zelda game is Majora's Mask!)

Welcome to the Land of V! Your friends wasn't lying to you, this place is great. I joined awhile ago ,but never went to the forums out of fear. There are tons of great games you can play here, that's why I joined in the first place. I've only recently come out of hiding..... there's not much to fear so don't be shy!
