I was in an intermural(sp?) program last year and want to play for the school team this year. I also played baseball for a while. *waves flag* Right field! And last but not least, basketball.

[COLOR=orange][B]Well, lesee...Like many other people, I read closed threads, even if I already know why it was closed (i.e.-introduction threads). Nowadays, my OB posts are always in orange, though it used to be firebrick. It always has to match my siggy...Um, if I decide to work on a fanfic or other story in Word, I have to keep the internet open, even if it distracts me once in a while. I check my PM/E-Mail box about 10 times an hour because. I'm always looking for something to do. And if one of the webcomics I read isn't updated, I yell, "GAH!" and smack the computer. It's not usually the artist's or computer's fault, but those webcomics are so darn addictive...Oh yea! And I always end my e-mails with...C-ya on the other side! *flys off on one of her winged monkey soldiers*[/color][/b]

[COLOR=orange][B]OC: I've found someone to play Kensuke. KnightoftheRose. Ever met him? He's cool. :) He should be postin' soon. ~~~~~~~~~ Nariko walked quietly back to the almost empty Nichi Cafe. She held back angry tears. She had let Aya down! Aya had been taken because she hadn't been paying attention. Not to mention, Daisuke had gotten hurt in the process. She saw a medic tending to Daisuke, who was sitting on the floor and conscious again. She walked over and knelt beside him. "Hey Daisuke." "Nariko-chan? I'm sorry; it was my fault Aya got-" "No, no, no Daisuke. You were fine. It was my fault that I wasn't paying attention. Here, I want you to, when you're finished up here, come with me to my house. I'll need your help in trying to find Aya. Okay?" she half-whispered. "Okay Nariko-chan." he smiled. Not the same flirtatious smile he usually did, but one of true understanding and encouragement. She then went into the backroom to put away her uniform. Ten minutes later, Nariko and Daisuke were walking up to the front door. Nariko was just about to turn the doorknob when who should open the door but Aya Mikage! "Aya? Aya!" Nariko flung her arms around Aya and said, "My God, I thought you were gone! How'd you ever get away?" "Nice to see you to Nariko. Hello Daisuke, glad to see that you're okay." Aya said with a smile when Nariko finally stopped hugging her. "I'll explain everything inside." The three went into the living room where Kensuke was already seated. He looked up from his coffee cup, "Yo Nariko. Took you long enough to get here. And..." Kensuke's eyes narrowed, "Hello, Kishi." Daisuke's eyes narrowed as well, "Long time no see, Kensuke." The two glared at each other in the silence that followed. Nariko passed Aya a piece of paper. It said: [I]Those two hate each other. They got into a fight when Kensuke got mad at him for hitting on me. It?s been like this ever since.[/i] When Aya finished reading, Nariko pointed to the two and mouthed the words, ?This could get ugly.? Aya nodded in acknowledgement. Nariko smiled suddenly and said, ?Okay now that the hellos are all done, let?s sit down and chat, eh?? Daisuke and Kensuke nodded with a simultaneous, ?Hn.? Aya sat next to Kensuke on the couch and Nariko and Daisuke sat on coushins* on the floor. Nariko was first to speak, "I saw Ryu carry you off. What'd he try to do, Aya?" "Well, actually, he was the one who brought me back to your neighborhood. He told me either stay in the house at all times or to leave the country alltogether," she began. "Leave the country? Why would you need to leave the country?" Daisuke asked tilting his head to the left. The other three looked at one another and silently decided it was time to let Daisuke know about the seriousness of the case. Aya told her tale to Daisuke. Nariko could see the pain in her eyes as she talked about Aki. She felt so sorry for her. She really couldn't imagine what it'd be like to lose her own brother, Kensuke. She could tell Aya was a very, very strong person. If it had been her, she wouldn't be half as calm as Aya was. [i]Wow...[/i] Aya wrapped up her story with, "And now here we are sitting in Nariko's living room." "That has got to be the most emotional story I've ever heard Aya. If you need help, I'm there for you." Daisuke assured her. "Thanks Daisuke." Aya gave him a smile that Nariko could tell was true but then again somewhat forced. "Okay then, our options: A, never let Aya out of our sights...EVER. Or, B, leave the country." Kensuke said with a grim smile. "Well, eventually her family will figure out where she is. I say leave the country!" Nariko replied. "Me two." "Me three." "Me four. But where are we going to go?" Aya asked. "Well, I don't know, probably America. With all the tourists there, we would be able to blend in perfectly!" Nariko answered. Kensuke smirked at her and said, "Well then, Miss-I-Have-Such-A-Brilliant-Plan, how are we going to [i]get[/i] to America in the first place?" "Well actually, my uncle's best friend's son's brother's roommate's father is a pilot for Japan Air Lines. I'm sure he'd be willing to give us a ride!" Daisuke piped up. Everyone stared at him for a minute before Aya said, "Riiiiiiiiight. Now Daisuke, are you sure that he'll give us a ride?" Daisuke smiled, "Of course he will! Me an' him are like best buds!" A large sweatdrop formed on the back of everybody else's heads.[/color][/b]

[color=orange][b]Lesse, the people I know in real life? Well, I have a sister who is never on here...She's Illpallazzo...Then there's Chichiri's Girl who might as well be my sister.

[COLOR=firebrick][B]Adrienne, dressed as a lost rich girl, walked down the cold streets of Paris. The moon shone above her, giving her blonde hair a mysterious glint. She had been tracking this young man for the past few days and she wasn't about to give up on him yet. He was a rich playboy who couldn't resist a pretty face. Now she was going to use that to her advantage. She put on her most pitiful face and tore part of her sleeve. The more you look the part, the more you are your character. Her motto, her life. She knocked on the large, white French-style doors. Her victim answered it, a glass of wine in his hand. This was her chance! She fell into him and cried, "Please monsieur! Please help me! I'm alone and lost and I was attacked by bandits! I'm afraid they are after me still! Help me, please!" "Oh, of course mademoiselle! I will save you from these scounrals. Come inside, where it is warmer." he replied, having no idea that the young woman before him was actually a purebred vampyre. He led her inside to his parlor where he poured a glass of wine and offered it to her. She politely declined. She was after a much more precious drink, but of course she couldn't tell him that. It might make him suspicious. They became acquainted with each other. She learned his name was Monsieur Ray Berenger. She told him that her name was Mademoiselle Doreen Azura. She didn't know why she used the made-up name. She just had decided that if she was going to play a different part than her own, she needed a new name. But she had no time to linger on that. She was getting thirsty for blood. She put her plan into action. "Monsieur Berenger, would it be alright if I sat closer to you?" she got up and walked over to where he was seated on his sofa and sat down next to him, "How about right here? Is that okay?" He grinned mischeviously and nodded. Inside her head, Adrienne was already crying 'victory'. "Monsieur, what do you think of me?" "Well, I think you are a very delightful and beautiful young woman." "Beautiful? How beautiful?" She moved closer to him. "Very, very beautiful indeed." he replied. He put an arm around her and kissed her on the lips. This was what Adrienne had been waiting for. She laced her arms around Monsieur Berenger and moved her lips from his and down his neck. She sunk her fangs into his jugular vein and began to drink. She felt the lifeforce draining from him. She smiled to herself. He was dead by the time she finished. She leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Delightful? Shows how much you know." She laughed quietly to herself as she left the elegant house behind. That was alot of blood. It was sure to last her until she got to London. And even if it didn't, she could always find another victim. And so she disappeared into the misty night.[/COLOR][/B]

Oh sure, students go to classes, make friends (well, most of them), and stress over exams. But there's something different. Within the school, there are multiple clubs. Each club has it's own unique set of rules and code. They range from normal school clubs to some seriousley strange ones. These clubs can challenge each other to duels whether it be to settle a score or to win a bet (one might be reminded of [I]Samurai Girl: Real Bout High School[/i]) . At the end of the of the year is a giant tournement where the best of the best of the best compete for the title of School Champion! That is what this RPG is centered around: the Kurookami High School Fighting Championship Extravaganza! Here's the application for enrollment: Name: Year: (1, 2, 3, or 4, 1 being somewhat like a freshman and 4 being like a senior) Team: (You can start your own team or join someone elses. The team can have any kind of name and style) Label: (Sorry to use that term, but couldn't think of anything else. What I mean is, what are you? Geek, hero, psychopath, goth. You know, just to add to the insanity of it all...) Description: (physical description) Bio: (Some background on your character) Okay then! Heres mine: Name: Aiko Mitsume Year: 3 Team: None Label: Tournament Announcer/Avid Reporter Description: Strawberry Blonde hair, Blue eyes, glasses. Wears a red tanktop, blue shorts and [B]always[/B] wears her hair in a ponytail. Also, always has a notepad, pen, and microphone with her. Bio: Aiko is the announcer for the annual Kurookami High School Fighting Championship Extravaganza. It's a position that's been passed down ever since her grandmother became announcer when she was in high school. Then it went to her mother, oldest sister, second oldest sister, and then finally to her. She's also head reporter for the school newspaper and will never be found without her trusty "Notepad and Pen of Doom". I will also be offering the position of referee/principle of the school (same person). If you'd like to take up that position, PM me and we'll discuss it. Well, have fun and c-ya on the other side! *flys off on one of her winged monkey soldiers*[/COLOR]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]OC: Yay! I'm back and posting a day early! BTW, sweetreyes, would you believe I've made up a soundtrack for this already. o.O Ah, the effects of boredom. If you'd like the playlist, just PM me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nariko watched the man who had just left Aya with suspicion. There was something threatening about his last words that didn't sit right with the brunette. On her noon break, she immediately walked over to Aya's table and slid in to the booth. "Hey Aya, who was that-one second..." Nariko turned around and smacked the person in the booth behind them (who turned out to be Daisuke, who immediately moved another booth down to give the girls privacy, but still in sight of Nariko) and then turned back to Aya. "Anyways, who was that guy who was talking to you earlier? A friend of yours?" "His name's Ryu, or so he says. He saved me from a car accident a while back. I didn't even really meet him until today. Nariko, he may be a life-saver, but what he said before he left...It gave me the chills. What worries me even more is that I don't know how he knew my last name! It's so eerie. He told me to leave the cafe. Do you think there may be someone working for my family here?" Aya asked. "If you look at the statistics, most likely they are." Nariko glanced at her watch, "Here, I have to go back to bussing tables, but I'm sure Daisuke can look after you for a while-?No sooner had she uttered his name, than Daisuke was at her side. ?Did you say something about me, Nariko-chan?? he asked. "Actually Daisuke, I did. Could you do a favor for me? I need you to look after Aya while I'm bussing tables. I'll be keeping an eye on her myself, but I need you to make sure nobody gets her out of this cafe. Okay?" Nariko replied. "Of course Nariko-chan." he flashed another smile. "Okay then, I'm off!" she grabbed her notepad for taking down orders and went back to her job. Then it happened. About fifteen minutes later, she heard a scream from the other side of the cafe. She looked searched frantically for the source of the disruption. She saw the one thing she had been worrying about the whole afternoon. Daisuke was lying face down and unconcious on the floor and Aya was being carried out the door by two men dressed in black. Many people were already trying to capture the culprits, but to no avail. "Aw crap!" she exclaimed. She dropped the tray she had been holding and went after them. [I]Guess it's time to see how much those fighting lessons paid off![/I][/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]My family and I were staying the week up at our camp in the Adirondacks (sp?). I woke up and my right eye was swollen to about the size of a golfball. We found out later that it was a spiderbite, but we're still not sure what kind. Oh yea, another time, some family friends were staying the weekend at our house I had been up late talking with the daughter and reading. I turned out my lamp (which was one of those reading lamps that you can coil the stand around your bed and adjust it) and went to bed around 12:00. The next morning, I woke up to smell something burning. Apparently, during the night, I had managed to turn the lamp on accidentaly and get it under my pillow. o.O My hair smelled burnt for about a week. To answer your second question, I've never even heard of Bells Palsy. The feeling sounds weird though.[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]OC: Winged monkeys? Aw, Bob (the commander of the winged monkeys) and I feel so loved! BTW, I drew a cute chibi pic for this. I?ll post it as soon as I can scan it. Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Okay then! Let's get going!" Nariko exclaimed, grabbing one last piece of fruit and jumping up to leave. "Are you so sure you want to go out right now?" Kensuke asked in a sarcastic and amused voice. "Why wouldn't I?" the eighteen year old asked with a tilt of her head. ?Maybe, because you?re still in your pajamas?? her brother replied with a smirk. Nariko looked down at herself to realize that she was in fact still wearing her Megatokyo t-shirt and pajama pants. She looked back up at Kensuke and gave him that fake smile that plainly says, ?I hate you.? He gave her an equally weird grin that meant, ?Love you too sis?.? Aya and Ms. M just looked on trying not to burst out laughing. ?Well then! I guess we?ll get dressed and [I]then[/I] we?ll get going!? Nariko proclaimed with a look of confidence. And so they did. After they were both dressed and ready, Nariko gave her brother a hug and both said goodbye to Kensuke and Ms. M. The village wasn?t that far away from the Seiya-Motosawa house, so they decided to walk instead of take the car. Mostly they walked in silence, except for a few ?nice? words from Nariko to a reckless driver who almost hit them. It wasn?t until they almost reached the village that an actual conversation was started. ?Aya, whatever you do, don?t get separated from me. From what you?ve told me about your family, they?ll do anything to do you in. I need you to stay close to me in case anything happens.? Nariko?s expression was unusually serious compared to her usual one. Aya looked up at her with worried eyes, ?You really think they?d take me here?? ?I dunno?But it?s very possible. I mean, it isn?t that hard to blend into the crowd here, and one of these people could possibly be an assassin. Don?t be worried though. I told you last night that we?ll protect you. And of course, I?m sure Daisuke won?t mind helping either,? she replied. ?Who?s-?? ?You?ll see. 3?2?1?? ?NARIKO-CHAN!? ?That?s Daisuke.? Nariko hung her head as a young brown haired man came running up to her. He hugged her and said, ?Nariko-chan, it?s been so long! I could hardly stand the torture of not being by your side! It was horrible!? ?Daisuke, first of all, let go of me or you will not be able to tell your face from your ***. Second of all, you saw me yesterday. And third of all, I have a friend I want to introduce you to,? she said, standing completely still and glaring at the man hugging her. Daisuke pulled back and cried, ?A friend! What kind of friend? It isn?t a boy is it?? Nariko pried Daisuke?s hands off of her, ?No Daisuke, she?s not a guy,? she turned to Aya, ?Aya Mikage, Daisuke Kishi. Daisuke Kishi, Aya Mikage. There, now that that?s settled, Daisuke will you kindly let me and my friend go to work.? ?Of course I will! Anything you say, darling.? Daisuke flashed a flirty smile at Nariko and bowed out of her way. Aya leaned over to Nariko and whispered (because Daisuke was still following in hearing range), ?Who is that freak?? ?Daisuke Kishi, my ?soul mate? as he calls it. It?s like he?s obsessed with me?? Nariko replied in and equally low voice. Finally, they reached their final destination: the Nichi Café where Nariko worked as a waitress. They entered through the employee entrance (unfortunately, Daisuke followed, since he too worked at the Nichi Café) and introduced Aya to some of the other waitresses. After 10 minutes of introductions and flirting from Daisuke, Nariko set to work. But of course, she always kept Aya in sight for fear of her being abducted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OC: Also, methinks we might need some people to play Kensuke and Daisuke, what do you think?[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]After dinner, Nariko was sentenced to dish duty. Aya had offered to help and she had eagerly accepted. She didn't really like dish duty all that much when she had to do it alone. Having company at the sink was fun! "You'll have to forgive Ms. M. She may be old and a bit overprotective, but she's the closest thing me and Kensuke have to a mother," she said with an apologetic smile. Aya nodded, "It's okay. I'm sure she's a really nice person. But mistaking me for Kensuke's girlfriend? I-" "You were in total shock! The look on your face was priceless! Heh, it was hillarious!" Nariko laughed happily. Aya glared at her for a second, but then decided to have some fun. She splashed some soapy water on the laughing eighteen year old. Nariko immediately stopped laughing. Her eyes narrowed and she splashed back. "Hey!" Aya exclaimed as the soapy water soaked the front of the borrowed shirt. She soon returned fire. It wasn't long before the kitchen was the battlefield of an all-out water war! Soap covered the whole kitchen and the two girls were sliding around on the slippery floor. It seemed a bit childish for their age, but they were having fun. But then, Aya tried to splash Nariko, who ducked. The water instead, hit who else but Seiya* Kensuke. He looked down at the soaked spot on his shirt and then to Aya. He gave a small, "Hn." and then turned and walked. away before Aya could apologize. "Don't worry Aya. It was an accident. He'll forgive you. Here, you can wait in my room while I clean up this mess. It's the one right next to the laundry room. It's a bit messy." Nariko said reassuringly. The younger girl nodded and left for the room. Nariko soon joined her after cleaning up all the bubbles and water. She cleared a space in the middle of her room and pulled out an extra futon for her new roommate. They both changed into their pajamas (Aya borrowed another set of clothes from Nariko's wardrobe). Nariko turned out the lights and crawled into bed. She needed rest. Tomorrow she would have to return to work. The next morning, Nariko found Aya already awake and listening to one of her Utada Hikaru CDs on her CD player. Nariko yawned and greeted, "Good morning Aya. Didja sleep well?" Aya took off the headphones and replied, "Yea. How about you?" "Pretty good. So, Aya, I was thinking, how do you wan't to spend your day? Would you like to go to work with me in the village, or would you like to stay here with Kensuke and Ms. M? It's all up to you." "Well..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OC: *I forgot to mention Nariko's last name: Seiya. C-ya on the other side! *flys off on one of her winged monkey soldiers*[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]Nariko lifted the last load of dry clothes out of the drier just as Aya came through the laundry room door. She could tell what had happened by the look on the younger girl's face. She laughed and said, "I see you've met my brother, Kensuke. He may seem like a bit of a jerk, but trust me, he's a real sweetie at heart." "Really? I couldn't tell." Aya chuckled. Nariko noticed the clothes in her hands. She took them and said, "Here, I'll take care of those." She put them in the drier with her own and started up the machine. Nariko then led Aya into the living room and handed her a mug of hot cocoa. "So, Aya," she began, "why is your family out to kill you in the first place?" "Well, I'm not quite sure. That's the problem. I guess the trouble started with the test." Aya replied, taking a sip of her cocoa. "Test?" Nariko wondered aloud. "Yea, a test. In the Mikage family, when a person reaches the age of sixteen, they are given a test. Up until today, I had no idea what it was for or what you had to do. My twin brother, Aki, and I took the test together. We were presented with a mummified hand. I felt a powerful surge run through my body. My brother on the other hand, was wounded. After the power surge, I was told that I was to die. Then, they just attacked me and took Aki away. I escaped, but I know that my family will stop it nothing to see me dead now..." Aya's grip on her cofee mug tightened and tears swelled in her eyes. Nariko gently placed her hand on her shoulder, "You poor girl. That's awful. I can't imagine what it feels like to lose your brother like that. Listen, you can stay here as long as you want. We'll make sure no one hurts you. Won't we, Kensuke?" Nariko turned towards her brother, who had apparently been standing in the doorframe the entire time. He nodded sincerely and said, "Of course. Now, on a lighter note, dinner's ready." Aya stared at Kensuke for a moment. She hadn't even noticed that he had been there. Nariko noticed her surprise and said as Kensuke left the room, "Yea, he has a tendency to just appear out of what seems like nowhere.You'll get used to it eventually. Now come on, we don't want to let our dinner to get cold!" And with that, she picked up her mug of cocoa and walked out to the dining room, Aya close behind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OC: Sorry, it's a bit short, but it's 2:40 in the morning and my back's starting to hurt from sitting in the computer chair. C-ya on the other side! *flys off on one of her winged monkey soldiers*[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=firebrick][B][size=1]My fave opening themes would have to be: 1.) [U]For Real[/U] from Saiyuki. The electric guitar rocks and the tune is addictive. o.O I've been humming it to myself for the past three days. 2.) [U]Tank![/U] from Cowboy Bebop. I love the jazz feel to it and the sudden start gives me a jump when one of my friends puts it on while I'm zoning out. My fave ending themes are: 1.) [U]Fukai Mori[/U] from Inu Yasha. It's just got this nice flow to it and it's kinda peaceful. 2.) [U]Tightrope[/U] from Saiyuki. Three words: So...Dang...ADDICTIVE! *runs to her DVD player and sings along with it and ignores her sisters complaints that she wants to watch Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat again*[/B][/COLOR][/size]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]Nariko pulled the hood of her ebony jacket over her head. The rain was coming down harder than ever and the thunder roared overhead. [I]Man, somebody must be having a really bad day nearby...[/I] The eighteen year old bit down hard on the toothpick in her mouth, almost splintering it. She almost couldn't see where she was going through the pouring rain. She looked around to make sure she was still on track. That's when she spotted the girl sitting on the side of the road, crying. [I]Speaking of having a really bad day.[/I] Nariko changed course and headed to the girl. She must have noticed because suddenly she looked up at Nariko, eyes red from crying. She shakily stood up and called out to the woman, "Miss! Can you please help me? I-I need someplace to hide! Please help me!" Nariko arched an eyebrow, "Someplace to hide? Whatever from?" The girl hesitated for a moment, but then replied, "My family! They're out to kill me. Please believe me! I'll explain everything when there's time." Nariko could tell that this girl wasn't joking around. She came closer and pulled off her own jacket. She draped it around the girl's shoulders, pulled the hood up so it covered her head, and said in a comforting tone, "Come with me. My house is only about five minutes from here. You can explain everything there." And so she led her to the place she called home. It was a bit small, but it was warm and welcoming. A fire was lit in the fireplace and it smelled of cinnamon. As she hung her coat up, Nariko said, "By the way, my name's Nariko. What's yours?" "Aya Mikage." the girl replied, giving her hostess a thankful smile, "Thank you for taking me in." "No problem kid. Now take these clothes and change into them. Then you can tell me your story over a cup-o-hot chocolate. Okay?" she asked, handing the girl a dry t-shirt and shorts. Aya nodded, took the offered clothes, and answered, "Okay." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OC: Sorry I took so long, sweetreyes.

Name: Pyresia "Pyro" Kemen Element: Fire Age: Real age unknown, but she looks only 18 Gender: Female Race: Human/Elf Bio: Pyresia was raised by an old monk in the mountains who taught her right from wrong and left from right. In other words, everything she knows. She was trained to be a priestess at the shrine. One day, the shrine where they lived burnt down, taking the old monk with him. That is when Pyresia realized her fire powers. She had set the fire accidentaly in her sleep. She felt unbelievable guilt. She swore from that day on that she would learn to control her powers and work for the good of other people just like the monk had taught her. And she did. She is known to her friends as Pyro and is a very caring person. With the help of some villagers, she rebuilt the shrine and took up the position as priestess of the shrine. She was then called upon to fight the the Kalanari. After the war she went back to the village to pick up where she left off. Appearance: Orange/red priestess robes, Barefoot, strawberry blonde hair, and amber eyes. Oh yes! And don't forget the elf ears! *tweaks elf ears* Abilities: Has learned the ability to "hover" from a traveler who stayed at the shrine for a while and can seal/disable demon/spiriits using enchanted scrolls. Can create fireballs at will.

[COLOR=firebrick][B][U]Peace Maker signup[/U] Name: Meara Caitrin Sinead Age: 22 Appearance: Braided, waist length, strawberry blonde hair. Blue eyes. Red tunic-like shirt, khaki pants, brown "no-finger" gloves, a black belt with silver buckle, a silver cross around her neck, and plain brown shoes. Also, a brown rough leather bag in which she carries a small medical kit complete with useful plants (which she has found effective) and a canteen for emergencies. Yea, it sounds a bit midievilish, but it's what she likes. Item: A dagger in a sheath on her belt which she uses only in extreme circumstances and even then, only to do minor damage. She doesn't like violence much. She mostly depends on her defensive strength, speed, and negotiating skills when she's trying to stop bounty hunters.[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]I have two really. The first one is more creepy in the sense of how long it took. The first part of the dream happened when I was three. I was Wendy from Peter Pan. I woke up halfway through the dream, and the second part didn't come until two years later. o.O That dream took unbelievably long time to finish, no? The other one was weird as in what the dream was. In the dream, me and my friend Riley were best friends (like brother and sister) and neighbors on a loop (a.k.a.- circle street). One day, I was riding my bike outside and heard him and his parents fighting. He opened the door, grabbed his bike, and rode off without saying anything. I decided to let him cool off. A few days later, I came over to his house, but his mom was crying and said that he had run away. I immediately freaked out and went loking for him. Three days later, I was still searching and came to a ditch in the woods. I found him there, eating a sandwich and leaning his bike against a tree. I stopped, dropped my bike, and ran over to him, crying. I told him never to scare me like that again and then convinced him to go home. My god, it's been months and I still haven't figured out the meaning of it...Scary...Well, c-ya on the other side! *flys off on one of her winged monkey soldiers*[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]I'm going to Anime North with a few friends and my sister next May. *sparkly shoujo eyes* My first con! *reverts to normal eyes* I'm probably going to cosplay...Kitsune or maybe Ryoko Mitsurugi...Not sure. But I guess the point of cosplay is just to have fun. Like the point of all costuming: it's a chance to pretend to be someone else! *sigh* Halloween come early. C-ya on the other side! *flys off on one of her winged monkey soldiers*[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]I'd have to say it's a tie between Metropolis and Princess Mononoke. Wonderful storyline and *stares in awe at the buildings in Metropolis and the fight scenes in Princess Mononoke* artwork. But, Endless Waltz comes in a very close second and Spirited Away comes in third. I haven't had the chance to see Grave of the Fireflies yet, but it'll probably be somewhere in the top five once I do, from what I've heard. C-ya on the other side! *flys off on one of her winged monkey soldiers*[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=firebrick][B]Michelle walked quietly down the hall, paying careful attention to all around her. Alec had taught her that listening was one of the most important things you could do. In doing this, she overheard the conversation about "Peice of Mind". She recognized the boy (Alexander) and two of the girls (Sydney and Kitty), but the third girl didn't look familliar. She stopped in her tracks and turned to face the four. She took a step closer, and then another. And then, she did something that amazed herself. For the first time in four years she spoke, "Excuse me. You wouldn't be talking about letters like this would you?" She pulled out her letter and showed it to the other students.[/COLOR][/B]
