So as you can see, this is my OC pony:


His/her name is Sapphire Concord (as seen on the title) and I need opinions on the NAME and the APPEARANCE.  ^-^
I want both NEGATIVE and POSITIVE feedback (as long as its constructive and not 'across the line')
ovO

I need some input please! I don't feel quite satisfied about my OC myself. I'm thinking of re-editing it (again for the third..fourth?...I lost count.....time)

Unfortunately, since I'm not really good at making an OC, it may take a lot of time for me to think up a new one.
So yeah, back on the point....

I want both NEGATIVE and POSITIVE feedback! please!

-thanks

It's sort of a concern for me because I plan on driving up north back to the house and I don't wanna get stuck in flooded roads and the house will probably get soaked and have roof leaks everywhere. >.<

The weather around the apartment I'm in is hectic, I saw a few trees being uprooted and small debris flying around.  :I

Then there's the tornadoes......
Some towns were heavily damaged from a couple of tornadoes and apparently, Brisbane risks being hit by one as well.

Tornado, please go away   :l  and you can take your cyclone friend with you.

I hope everypony around Queensland is ok and recovers from this mess.

So like...
I was AFK from my laptop and then I heard this loud crashing sound
so I rushed into my room to see what happened and my desk
was lying across the floor. (One of those small desks that you assemble together yourself)

From what I determined, one side of the desk was loose and caused the whole thing to collapse.
I went to check my laptop and it was in the restarting phrase so I waited and logged in
and it seemed all normal until I encountered my first problem.
The computer was EXTREMELY laggy, it took 5 minutes to open My Computer.
So I tried opening other programs such as Google Chrome and Skype
but they all lagged as well.

The next day I took my laptop to school to get it checked by the IT service desk.
They ran the boot scan and the results showed that my hard drive was completely corrupted.
I lost all my videos, pictures, games and music but worst of all, I lost my assignments and work
folders and so prior to this incident, I've been REALLY behind in assignments.
Now I have to wait for the hard drive to be replaced.

Have you experienced any hardware/computer issues?

In the past years, Australia has been a main destination for asylum seekers,
Australia wouldn't let them in because apparently "they may cause issues
to the Australian economy", so they would be kicked off to Christmas Island or
taken back to their country.

According to the Australian government, asylum seekers have been an "threat."
The government claimed that asylum seekers could be "terrorists" or they could cause a
"dramatic rise on the Australian population."

In 2011, the Australian government mentioned that the detention centers were full,
so earlier this year, they decided to kick the asylum seekers out of Australia and
return them back to their countries.
The government says that they return asylum seekers back to their countries
because it's to "prevent the risk of their boat sinking."

In the perspective of the asylum seekers, they have to pay between $5000-$10 000 AUD
to travel to Australia by boat. Not only that, they're all crammed into one spot for around 14 days
until they arrive near Australia. They would be spotted by Australian navy ships and taken back
to their country.


Now what I don't understand is why the Australian government is doing this.
The asylum seekers escape their country because it's either in conflict, war or economic issues,
then Australia is kicking them out back to their countries because "they are a threat" and "safety issues."

For starters, ALL of the asylum seekers make under 2% of the Australian population and NONE
of the asylum seekers were "terrorists" nor were they armed with ANY weapon
and the poor asylum seekers work hard to pay off those expensive travel prices.
But what does Australia do? "Oh yeah, kick them out, keep 'em out."

In the Australian national anthem, it says:
"For those who've come across the seas, We've boundless plains to share."
This is absolute neglect, Australia is doing the complete opposite of this.

I think Australia kicks out asylum seekers because of racism, but they try cover it up with
excuses like, "they are a threat to our economy."

Good job Australia, very....VERY supportive...         :l

Video Games Archive / The Driver Series
2012 Sep 04, 06:53:07
Driver: You Are the Wheelman, is a 1999 action driving video game developed by Reflections Interactive (now known as Ubisoft Reflections)
John Tanner, an NYPD detective has gone undercover due to his unmatched driving skills. His mission is to gain the confidence of a crime syndicate's bosses by performing increasingly difficult driving missions.

Driver 2: Driver 2 expands on Driver's 3-D, free-roam structure, as well as adding the ability of the character, Tanner, to step out of his car to explore on foot and commandeer other vehicles in the game's open world environments.
Missions in the game are generally vehicle-oriented, and involve trailing witnesses, ramming cars and escaping from gangsters or cops. A cutscene is shown prior to almost every mission to help advance the storyline, and thus the game plays rather like a Hollywood-style car chase movie.

Driv3r: FBI agent Tanner, along with partner Tobias Jones, are infiltrating a crime ring known as South Beach, which specializes in stolen vehicles around Florida. A ruthless woman named Calita runs the Crime Ring, and there is a weapons specialist Lomaz, and Bad Hand. Tanner convinces them to give him a shot to work for them. Once he is accepted by the group, Tanner begins conducting various jobs for them, in pursuit of a total of 40 stolen high-performance vehicles.

Driver San Francisco: After the shootings in Istanbul, Jericho eluded security and escaped from the Istanbul hospital, fleeing from Turkey and escaping back to the U.S. After 6 months of searching him, Tanner and Jones managed to find him in San Francisco, where they arrested him, and he is currently awaiting trial.

The Retirement Home / Carbon Tax
2012 Sep 01, 10:21:46
Possibly one of the most ironic schemes brought up by the Australian Labor Party, in my opinion.

What is Carbon Tax?
Carbon Tax is basically where the government increases taxes for carbon-related products; i.e. electricity power usage.
The carbon tax will add an additional price to the normal taxes and it will keep rising until 2015, when the government will shift to a trading scheme that will let the market set the cost.

What is the purpose of Carbon Tax?
The Carbon Tax is supposed to "prevent people from utilizing excessive power" "to help protect the environment" and to "boost the Australian economy" and the government says that "by polluting the environment, you have to pay the price."


From all of this, I think the Carbon Tax plan is dodgy and I find it all unnecessary.
They say that "it's going to prevent pollution" and "the money will be used to help households."
If you want to help the environment and be energy efficient, then why not install solar panels and build wind mills instead of adding these Carbon Taxes, or at least some other scheme that doesn't involve ridiculous taxes?
Honestly, I think these are all excuses from the government to make profits.

I have no idea why but I just like to scare myself by playing these horror games... >_>

Slender - It was scary when that sound played  (when you confront Slenderman) and
the soundtrack is just downright creepy. But other than those 2 factors, not too scary.

Amnesia - Yes. This game scared me so much that it took me 30 minutes to go to the next room...
I was too scared to confront that monster guy.
Also, the randomly opening doors, winds and random screams almost made me jump. But I still insist on playing it anyway.

That's all the GOOD horror games I've played...I want MOAR!     ovO

I'm depressed.
I've been in a state of depression for 7 years now (about half my lifetime) and
because of these bullying issues and such I'm left with no friends except my
friends on the internet (that's if you are my friends) but unfortunately for safety
reasons, I don't really trust the internet. I wish I actually met a generous,
caring friend because it seems to be hard to find a good friend now.

This story is ridiculously wrong, but I need you to understand my situation.
different schools and friends will be coded like this:
school 1
school 2
etc.

Friend 1
Friend 2
etc.

Here's how my depression started off, I'll try my best to shorten it:

Spoiler: show
Grade 1: I was really excited to start primary school, I made about 5 friends, they were really nice people.
Later in the year, someone else joined the group but unfortunately he decided to bully me.
The bully pretty much said bad things about me then I found myself kicked from the group.
I was a loner for the rest of the year.

Grade 2: I was moved to school 2 because the teachers and the principal from school 1 didn't
do anything about the bully but bludge around sipping their coffee.
I was only at school 2 for half the year, I was temporarily moved here until my parents found another school.
After moving from school 2 into school 3 I was toured around school but for the rest of the year I was still lonely.

Grade 3: I attempted to make some new friends, I had troubles because people called me "fat and ugly" and
I started developing depression that year. I tried making friends with a group of kids but it wasn't easy, they
disagreed with my beliefs but I soon just went with their flow and became friends with them.

Grade 4: This was the most happiest year of my life, I made 4 new friends and I'm not bullied here.
I was bullied for a few weeks but i managed to negotiate with the bullies and that was it.
Suddenly toward the end of the year my parents wanted me to move out of this school, they said that
"the education wasn't good" so they signed me out and moved me into school 4. The people here were nice which is why it annoyed me,
I made so many good friends.

Grade 5: It wasn't a bad start to the year at school 4, I met one friend who toured me around the school, he was Greek and I was Turkish.
(Just some background info: Greeks and Turks were in conflict hundreds of years ago and some Greeks and Turks hate each other to this day).
I didn't mind anyway, I wanted a friend.

I was suddenly bullied by someone else, he physically abused me (push, punch, kick) and then at this point I had suicidal thoughts, I cried everyday.

Grade 6: Just as I predicted it, this guy just turned against me, now he's throwing insults at me "as a joke", I was used by him, he was being racist to me and insulting me everyday. Fortunately the other bully left school.
I then discovered he was bullying someone else, so I decided to become friends with the person he was bullying.
I made good friends with this person, he seemed lonely as well. I avoided the bully after that.
Everyday, the bully would approach us and bother us, every minute and we couldn't avoid him, he just kept following us.
I made another friend later this year (friend 2) and I started hanging around friend 2 now.
All because of the bully, I lost my reputation and now I was annoyed by everyone at school.
During this year, I attempted suicide about 5 times.

Grade 7: I was glad to be away from the bully with friend 2, friend 1 was with his other friends.
I told friend 2 about the bully:

Me: There's this kid that keeps bullying me all the time, he said (Insert insults here).
Friend 2: Yeah, he does it as a joke. He;s my friend too you know.
Me: But it's really annoying, can you help me out? He IS your friend.
Friend 2: I don't have to, it's none of my business. I don't want to lose him, he's my best friend.
(bully steps in)
Bully: Hey Turkey! Gobble gobble!
Me: Stop it.
Bully: What's the matter Turkey? I can speak your language! Gobble gobble gobble! (pushes me)
Come on, speak Turkey! gobble gobble gobble! (pushes me again)
(I look at my friend)
Friend 2: What? I'm not involved. (walks away)
Bully: Your friend is an idiot, hah, guess I can bully you whenever I want huh?

So in a nutshell, every time I was bullied, friend 2 left me to suffer, friend 1 was elsewhere and if someone else
witnessed me getting bullied, I was left to suffer. I attempted suicide a further 6 more times that year.

Grade 8: I'm glad that bully was gone, I could start my new life at high school!
Friend 1 was at another school so I only had friend 2.
Suddenly, a group of 5 people approach and swear at me.

Me: What's going on?
Someguy: Why are you insulting us on Facebook?
Me: What?
Somegirl: You posted a paragraph of insults on our Facebook walls!
Me: what is this profile name?
Somegirl: (Insert my full name here)
Me: okay I'll check it out.

I saw the profile and I was appalled. Someone made a fraud Facebook account under MY NAME and posted trash on peoples walls as well as his own wall. I took screenshots and took down the account. The next thing "I need" is completely losing my reputation at high school.
I noted the principal and he told me to keep an eye out to see if it happened again.
So just as I predicted, I've already lost all my respect at this school and now I can't make new friends.
Also, Friend 2 grew jealous because my dad had a good car and a good job which is why he was acting like an idiot to me.

Me: You know your "good friend?" He made an FB fraud account under MY NAME.
Friend 2: So? How do you know anyway?
Me: He was the only person who asked me which school I was going to for high school. (the bully from grade 7 did the fraud account)
Friend 2: He wouldn't though, he actually wanted to be your friend you know.
Me: No, he was bullying me, don't be stubborn now. Please.
Friend 2: I'm not being stubborn and if you think he made the FB fraud account and if you hate him then you can go to hell.
(Friend 2 walks away)
Me: What am I going to do now?

So that left me a loner for a while.
I tried to join a group of 3 girls and 2 guys, the 2 guys got jealous and kicked me out, they bullied me for the rest of the year.

(now) Grade 9: I tried joining a group of Asians, but they said I had to be "Asian" so I lied to them that "I was Asian."
It didn't do any good though, they treated me like a dog for 6 months in a row and from all that I only made one friend. (He'll replace friend 2)
This year I became a brony then I discovered my friend was a brony so we were good friends.....for a few weeks.
After the few weeks, he started insulting me at random times, he shouted a lot, he had this "come at me bro attitude" and he swears too much, I wasn't friends with him after that. One of my teachers noticed I was sad, she asked me 'Are you depressed' and I said no. I lied and her question made me sad because I was depressed and it reminded me of my horrid life


Now I'm a complete loner and wreck, my own brother bullies me because I'm a brony, I have no friends, no one wants to be my friend, I'm bullied and there are bad rumors and gossips about me throughout school.

EEYUP!    :]

My own Brony Youtube Channel!

[NOTE]
Channel is down FORVER!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"why did you close down your channel?"

Answer: For many reasons:

1. I'm still learning how to animate (I want to make pony animations!)

2. I don't have much time to make videos with so many exams and assignments!  >.<

3. I have the worst video editing program (Windows Movie Maker)

4. I want to name my channel after my OC's name (I don't have an OC yet)

5. I hardly get any subscribers even with my videos posted
