Jessamine's Hangout

[Jessamine]

Hey, this is my hangout. Feel free to post here, and talk and make friends

I'll continue conversations from welcome wagon thread to here.

[Jessamine]

I hope it is okay I continue our conversation here, Lemon Cheesecake

I have very many yellow flowers in my garden... even my jade plants have yellow flowers. They are so bright!

Do you have any plants or flowers you grow?

I met someone named Jessamine, she had a beautiful singing voice.
I had no idea there was a flower named jessamine nor that it is yellow. I like learning new things!

Come play in my dice game threads for chances at past items as prizes. I'll be opening the holiday thread for Valentine's day through lunar new year.

Yellow flowers in your garden sounds really nice

I don't grow plants or flowers, yet I love how pretty they are. I also have a garden at the front of my house, which my dad grows and tends. I also have fir trees. He also grew grass in my backyard.

That's awesome, what songs did she like to sing?

Yeah, it is called carolina jessamine, gelsemium sempervirens. It grows only in South Carolina, United States, apparently. I have never been to the US, although I have online friends who live there.

I'll check out the dice game and holiday thread soon Are you doing anything for Valentine Day and Lunar New Year? It is the Year of the Horse this year.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Very nice to see you started a hangout for us to come visit you!

Right now I have daffodils blooming. We are having a warmer winter than normal so I think they are coming up sooner.

Grass is difficult to maintain in a yard & because it is considered a fire (edited) issue most houses in the area I live do not have grass.

The Jessamine I knew actually wrote her own songs, but preferred to sing mostly jazz like songs. Sadly, I lost contact with her.

I have to work Valentine's day but we usually do a family dinner for Lunar new year. How about you?

[galled]

Hey cool! I'll just have a seat here in the corner if that's OK.

I think Lemon means "fire" issue. Fir trees are nice (evergreen fan here)!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Happy Valentine's Day!

[Gingerale]

Make sure you buy the items in the Lazarus shop as they are only temporarily there.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Look for the tan butter cookie colored horses & click on them for a prize!

You can collect 19 a day until the end of Lunar New Year.

[Jessamine]

Sorry for the late reply!

I have just been reading through my surroundings to understand it a little better, and listening to music, and watching television.

Yeah, my dad waters the grass with a green hose. I also walk on the grass, when walking outside in the backyard, because then, there is not much room to walk. I also walk into my park, which is across the road, and is bigger. My park has grass too in the middle, and there is a pavement path to walk around and across. Some of the grass right now in the yard is dying yellow.

I hope you all had a good Valentine and Lunar New Year! I spent Valentine single, although I had people ask me out or like me in real life, two of my friends. I like how the day can stand for self love and friendship too. For Lunar New Year, I spent it with my family.

I haven't found the horses, although I am not really looking for them~

My yellow cardigan rn, it is like a cute summer dress haha.

Evergreen trees are pretty

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Happy Lunar new year !

year of the fire horse ...sounds impressive

Lovely you live close to a park & can go enjoy walks there.

I agree, Valentine's day is just about giving out love to family & friends.

[Jessamine]

Thank you, I hope you had a good Lunar New Year too

I listen to spotify on my phone when I go walking, I used to listen to my ipod, yet spotify has new music which I liked ^^

I also went to the bookstore recently, and was surprised to see a new shadowhunter book there, as I had thought I had read all the books on them and usually know if new books arrive on shelves. This book is a series of short stories.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I like happy surprises in a day!

When I would go to a local used bookstore they had a place you could sit & read if you wanted to. It was nice to be able to do that.

[Jessamine]

The book was called Better in Black by Cassie Clare. It has pairings like Will and Tessa.

Soon, the first book of The Wicked Powers, a spin off series in Mortal Instruments / Dark Artifices will also be in bookstores, which I'm happy about. Ty, Kit, Dru are the main characters.

That sounds great about having somewhere to sit and read in your bookstore, Lemon Cheesecake

I hope this is okay to talk about just a little bit, but... ( moved to Lemon's hangout )

Yeah, with acceptance, I am also reading through different places I am in, just seeing them as they are.

Just writing a quick rundown of what I did with that site (voltra):

I talked in the user-run discord server, and am closer friends with them, while knowing they don't want me to hurt myself over and over, as they said so. They said they recognise the owner is being narcissistic.

I donated to the site and asked for a refund, and communicated to the owner through additional information. He responded to the case, through he seeing it through his email, within a five minute timeframe. He wrote a personal message in that case too, he refunding to me. He responded within two days, a lot before the timeframe to go into either his or my favour. This gives me the insight that he responded as /soon/ as he saw it in his email.

Keep in mind there are messages I sent to him to his email, albeit his site email (I deleted some of the emails, except for one or two conversations, so he knows my email.) He has also said to someone else, that emails sent from that admin site email don't always send to the other person, which gives me the impression he may need to reach out to me via his personal email to recover my accounts.

I already contacted him through discord dm, yet talked a lot to him in a casual oral manner, in which he said only one thing : he will let me back in the site, after first refunding me, in which he said to open a paypal case, which I already did. He, after years of having me and ignoring me in the discord server of the site, kicked me out of the site server he runs, thoughtlessly abandoning an important form of contact to me.

I filled in an appeal form on some of the google forms around the site, which I hope is still being linked to his site email, to talk to him, after he kicked me out of the server. I also linked the appeal forms to my friends, so they can choose to contact him if they want to, even if just to go back to a site they used to love, to solve their unresolved tension, which otherwise, marginalises their instincts.

People I know in the user server, and know about his abuse to me, recently appeared back on the site, so the boundary of recognising my anger is steady. He acknowledged he will let me back in in his site, also saying I should be aware of what is around me, other than his site.

LETTER START (TO WRITE WITHIN THE ACTUAL SITE):

Dear Voltra community,

Hello, it is beautiful to be back on this site again.

Thank you for letting me back in, @ site owner :

The blackout has been really scary, and I love that Vivienne got rescued.... (part of site history lore)

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Not sure what all that means but there are free sites you can join... I try not to pay for anything if I don't have to.

Always consider seriously before donating or signing up for a monthly/yearly subscription.

We had a user named Vivienne who was super cool, sadly she passed during covid. She used to be on other sites, I would hope she was a beacon of light on those sites as she was here in our Windlyn community.

Why would you want to go back to a site you didn't like or feel comfortable with?
Maybe find one where you are only interacting with your friends & not having to deal with others?

[galled]

Sounds like you've got it all handled. Good for you!

It's good to get stuff off your chest sometimes. Here's to moving onward and upward!
