When you come back on here after the absolute busiest last three weeks you’ve ever had only to discover you’ve been kicked out of the Lounge… 
Also… when you finally come back to NB as your online refuge hoping to talk in the Lounge… and it’s just gone…
Same happened to me- I came on yesterday and the Lounge had evaporated into thin air 
[name_f][/name_f]So annoying because some of my favourite threads are there!
It’s so annoying… screw the end of the school year for taking up all my time
That happened to me a while back! Still trying to earn it back lol.
oh my gosh guys… life is so exasperating now that I don’t have the Lounge. didn’t realize how much I took it for granted until I lost it lol
@OctaviaMay[name_f][/name_f], @CattheBat13579[name_f][/name_f], @auroracallista[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]My[/name_f] ultimate tip is to spend a day scrolling through all of the NOTD/GPOTD/OTD threads, old “Baby Berries [name_m]Born[/name_m] In XYZ-ZYX” threads, and the old Quick [name_m]Poll[/name_m] threads 
[name_f][/name_f] I fell out once and was able to gain access back in a few days this way! If you stay in for a year then, you can lock your trust level so you can’t be booted from the lounge after a period of inactivity. I did all of this over two years ago, though, so rules might have changed!!
I actually know someone who’s name is pronounced that way-- not [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], but [name_f]Ororo[/name_f] lol
I REALLY love the nickname [name_m]Mars[/name_m] for a girl… except my dog’s nickname is [name_m]Mars[/name_m] (full name Marlow.) [name_m]Can[/name_m] I have two Mars’s at one time? SIGH
Only the [name_m]Lord[/name_m] knows how much I’m missing the Lounge right now, specifically @mellona’s Positivity Thread!
I hope to see you back in the Lounge soon! 
[name_f][/name_f] I will be sure to start keeping up with the Positivity Thread again! 
[name_f][/name_f] Have a wonderful day!!

I miss the lounge so much too but it’s my own fault for only popping in once every few weeks (…or months 
[name_f][/name_f] grad school life…)
It’s been 6 years… my sister was pregnant and trying to find names she liked. I went through every name with her, and I was holding onto my absolute, most favourite name ever. She said, “just tell me, I’m probably not even going to like it, let alone use it.” And not only if she like it, she used it. And she made the middle name the name she said she didn’t like at all. It was the biggest slap in the face. We live so far apart and I’ve still not been able to fly back home to visit, and meet my niece in person, but she has my favourite name. And I don’t think I’ve ever forgiven my sister. We’ve never had the super close bond sisters usually have, and I stupidly thought she was reaching out to me during that time, to become close… alas, that didn’t happen.
This doesn’t really[name_f][/name_f] matter, but I feel like my style is consistent only in my own mind 
[name_f][/name_f] One day I’m obsessed with Cantemir and the next with [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and it makes perfect sense to me! But it slightly bothers me that on the outside my style may look all over the place 
This has me wondering if there were named after [name_m]Storm[/name_m] (the X-Men character)? 
I’m sure this has been expressed on here before, but it pains me every day the name [name_f]Isis[/name_f] has such negative connotations that make it unusable 
If it didn’t have these associations it would have the potential to be very very high on my list, but the way it stands it unfortunately has to be a guilty pleasure :(((
[name_f][/name_f]Of course [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is very similar, and I like it, but nowhere near as much sadly! Anyway, rant over.
Yep! All of her siblings are Xmen too!
falling in love with absalom is such a problem why does it have to have such a strong association
Ooh, interesting!
The storm with record-breaking winds that’s about to hit [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] is named Éowyn.
I know how you feel!! [name_m]An[/name_m] F1 driver I follow has a black cat, and I’m 99% sure the cat’s original name was [name_f]Isis[/name_f], but I recently saw that the cat is now [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
