Japan

I am not sure if this is an issue or not that was brought up. However It feels like the only cookie that the new software is having the username/password filled out. Is there a way to keep myself logged in without signing me out every time I open a new window? It's really frustrating. Please look into it when you have the time, thanks. EDIT: I get the lagging thing too with posting. The, "I post but it takes forever to load but if I open it in a new page, my post is there," thing. Using wet paint too.

That way she'd be forced to see me. :V Also, Waffle Iron Day shall be spent cookin' waffles. All different kinds of waffles. I say we all swap recipes.[/size][/color] [/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDD92zs9_mM[/media] (I was looking for the waffle song but I couldn't find it D:)

English is my main language. (Of course) I've studied Japanese here and there over the years however it has been a while since I have actively studied the language. I suppose I should fix that if I am going to get an exchange student from Japan, hmm? Anyways, I know a little bit here and there of Spanish, German, French, Italian, Dutch and Korean from my travels. The only words I remember of Korean are some numbers due to martial arts ten years ago. Lol. Right now I am attempting at Russian to see if I can do it. I got those Russian keyboard stickers and it is going pretty decent so far.

I don't watch TV anymore but I do remember one episode of Futurama in particular. It's also my favorite one. Death by Snoo snoo anyone? XD

BRB hanging myself.[/font] [/quote] Can't they make an exception?

International Panic Day? Someone should start a zombie invasion. Who's in?

I use Windows Vista but I installed Rocketdock (As seen below) because I really like the dock feature from Macs. Wallpaper is Nia from Gurren Lagann. [attachment=14699:japanwallpaper.jpg]

[u][b]Watching:[/b][/u] [b]Cat's Eye [/b]This series was extremely hard to find. There weren't even any for sale in on Ebay or Amazon. This anime is from the Lupin the III and City Hunter age. It's about three sisters who steal their father's art in order to locate him after his sudden disappearance. At the same time, one of the sisters is dating the inspector who is trying to catch them. I've been wanting to watch this anime for two years now so I am happy to have found it. I am really enjoying it so far. [b] Ef tale of melodies [/b]I have only watched one episode of this so far. From what I have seen, it looks pretty interesting. I heard a lot of things from people about it. I will watch it once I can devote more time to it. [b] Angel Beats [/b]I have only seen a couple of episodes of this as well. Very well balance of random and good story. [b] Mushishi [/b]I started with the live action as an introduction to this series. It is somewhat slow paced but if you give this series a chance you will be rewarded. It is very rewarding visually. [b] Ghost in the Shell Movie: [/b]This is just an old classic that I feel like re-watching for old time's sake. Beautiful music, stunning animation and a very unique plot line. [b] Utawarerumono [/b]I saw this several years ago and I barely remember anything about it so I am re-watching it as well. [size="2"] [b]Yumeiro Pâtissière[/b][/size] Des kept bugging me to watch this. I am glad he did. This cute series is rather addicting. It is making me want to bake. It is about a girl who is going to school to learn how to be a pastry chef and she has the aide of this magical helper from the Sweets Kingdom. [b] Durarara![/b] Not my favorite series but I will finish it to see where the creators decide to end it. [b]Reading:[/b] [b]Watchman [/b]This is the one comic that is taking priority over the rest. I only just bought it last night at a used bookstore. It is a quick read so far. [b] +Anima [/b]I read a few of the volumes when it first came out. I remember liking it so I would like to finish it. [b] Ouran High School Host Club [/b]My curiosity got the best of me. I wanted to see where the anime left off so I'm reading this. [b] Fruits Basket [/b]I have no excuse for this one. I just been putting it off. [b] Kimi No Todoke [/b]Same as Ouran, my curiosity got the best of me. [b] Skip Beat! [/b]I heard this was good so I thought I would check it out. [b] Vampire Knight [/b]This manga is on the backburner. I am sure I will get around to it at some point.

I am finding myself switching back and forth. The orange is rather bright but it is sometimes better than just the gray/white/red of basic.

I suppose that IP boards isn't THAT bad. It just took a while to remember that an old MUD forum I used to go to used the same IP software. Yes it takes time to get used to from VB but it is not sooooo bad. I can't wait for more skins ^^;;

It took a while but I did find a few. Thanks for your help.

Yes, at least one. It had about 40 saved PMs.

[quote name='Aberinkula & Fitch' date='01 June 2010 - 10:48 AM' timestamp='1275414516' post='694116'] [font="Comic Sans MS"]I lost a lovely sig and avi set, it seems. I could swear they were hosted off-site, too. Oh well, about time I updated my look anyway. EDIT: I frickin' love this display name feature.[/font] [/quote] Hear, hear! The display name feature is awesome!! I just love how my picture is of Desbreko. What's funny about it is when the profile picture feature came up a few years ago, it somehow disappeared and reappeared with this new software upgrade.

[color="#8B0000"][font="Verdana"]Hey sorry to bug you guys of this but it seems that the private messages that had their own little folder outside the inbox disappeared. Did something happen to those in the change over?[/font][/color]

[quote name='James' date='01 June 2010 - 03:18 AM' timestamp='1275387507' post='694085'] [font=franklin gothic medium]It's our pleasure! I just hope you guys like what we've done. There's definitely more to come, as well. [/font] [/quote] Maybe a dark skin? This is blinding lol

OTAKUBOARDS IS BACK UP YAY I'M SO HAPPY. Thanks for your hard work, guys!!

I was a member back in 2001 but I only just came back in 2003.

Japan Who: Member since like August 2001. Where: Southeast Washington State What: Still at college working on a transfer degree and then a photography degree. Then I am off to Bible college in Wyoming and then work as a freelance photojournalist. When [i.e. Back Then]: Talked and hung out with Charles a lot. Lurked on forums. Made a lot of friends and made a lot of AIM chats. I was notorious for those, haha Favourite Things About OB: Charles, Syk3, Shy, Shin, Des, list goes on. Community in general. Coherent posters.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I had an interesting night at work tonight. I was back booth of drive thru at McDonalds when this father starts accusing me for cheating him out of his change saying he gave me a fifty instead of a twenty. Turns out there were no fifty dollar bills in my till and my manager had to call the owner's son-in-law to deal with the person. Talk about a crazy night. Oh, and the new icarly/star wars toys at McDonalds SUCK![/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]My typical dress anywhere and everywhere are converse, jean flares, camisoles and a hoodie. However when I'm working for a client for photography, I dress the same but I spruce it up with makeup mascara and eyeliner, hair styled, and sweater instead of hoodie. For photography, I need to dress to impress depending on the client. I still need to look professional but with photojournalism, jeans and sneakers are the key. [/COLOR]

When I was little I used to really love the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I used to watch it all the time. After several years, I decided to watch it and I had to turn it off after thirty minutes. Ugh...the singing was horrendous and the stupidity.... I still love Dick Van Dyke though....but that movie? Nooooo!!

I feel bad about downloading things that are out in the USA. I don't do it very often, but I am very picky with my money. I download what I am curious about. I watch it and if I really like it, I will buy it. I only own the boxsets for Outlaw Star, Azumanga Daioh and Gravitation and Gravitation OVA. I am very poor so I only buy something I really like. I suppose that it is similar to listening to songs on the radio. You don't pay for the music but you hear it anyways. When I have enough money to spend, I intend to buy Gurren Lagann, Clannad and Doctor Who but until then I will enjoy what I downloaded. (I first watched Gravitation when I was in 10th grade of high school in 2002 and I finally bought it a year or two ago.)

[quote name='taperson'][SIZE="1"][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I had a job interview today, & it went marvelously![/COLOR][/SIZE][/QUOTE] What job was the interview for?

[quote name='chibi-master']It's really starting to get on my nerves that in every book I've tried to read in my free time so far has bedn about a teenager saving the word with magical powers and such that are MEANT FOR THE CHOSEN ONE OWAIT YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE. It's a pretty interesting topic, but it's just overused so very much... I can handle a large bulk of it only if it's in manga and/or anime, but wordy novels are a no-go.[/QUOTE] Pick up a biography. I am sure that won't happen. Nothing wrong with a 200 page book either.

Yeah Why Aren't You In Chat?? D:
