Japan

[SIZE="1"]When it comes to cooking I am pretty experienced. I know how to make everything from macaroni and cheese to a very tasty Japanese curry. Just today I made some homemade pizza by squirting some pizza sauce on a bagette sliced in half length-wise and then adding turkey pepperoni and cheese on top. I then broiled that for a minute. Yum! I do not always enjoy it but sometimes I have the a blast. I hate cleaning up though. I always tend to make a mess.[/SIZE]:animestun

I claim GTK's character. Sorry, do not have a scanner or tablet so I will have to take a picture of it. Sorry but I REALLY want to do this game. EDIT: Here it is. (Look at Attached Thumbnails.) I cleaned it up in paint. I decided to add some Christmas cheer since GTK said we could change the outfit. Now here is my character. She is typically a nudist but as you see in the description, she is wearing a cloak and boots. You can draw with those two articles or something revealing and suggestive. She is a character from a game I play and Mhun is like an offshoot of humans. She looks human so you do not have to worry. I will post my drawing of her as soon as someone draws her. I am curious where this description leads you in your creativity. Good luck! [B]She is a Mhun and is around five feet, nine inches tall. Her hair is dark brown and streaked with black and blonde highlights, it is now rather long, reaching past her waist, its waves mesmerizing anyone who looks at her. Starting at the sides of her head, there are two thin braids with red leather intertwined pulled back with a hair clip of a poisonous scorpion, the braids draping nicely at the back of her head. She has bangs that are cut unevenly so that they fall about her face in such a way that casts a shadow about her face, giving her a mysterious aura. Her eyes are a beautiful blend of blue and green, and maintain a content sparkle. The lean, toned structure of her body and her broad shoulders suggest that much of her time is spent in action. Her skin has acquired a deep tan, and only the occasional faded scar marks her otherwise smooth complexion. Starting at her right shoulder, a tattoo of a dragon extends to her lower back on the opposite side. Deep shades of red, blue, and black give the tattoo a certain mystery. I's teeth dripping with blood from a recent kill, and funnels of smoke escaping from it's nostrils. Looking closer, you notice that the dragon seems to be flying since clouds seem to surround it's majestic and muscular form. On her lower abdomen, you notice another tattoo that seems to almost be hiding. Gazing at it, you realize that it is of a sleek black panther silently preparing to pounce on his prey, a look of intense hunger and instinct in his eyes. The sharp claws of the cat seem to give the effect of sinking into the skin. There is a jade colored boa constrictor on her left shoulder. Though it appears to be fast asleep, its tail is wrapped tightly around a blood stained dagger, still dripping with fresh blood. A rose in full bloom is behind the the snake. The latest tattoo is on her left ankle. It is a small raven soaring, a group of berries in it's beak. She is wearing a silver bar fitted with dragon-shaped ball ends through her left eyebrow, a beaded jade choker, a lush black belt, a lovely black leather collar with a lock, a simple bone ring, a leather slave collar, a gold and ruby stud resembling a bloody fist through her tongue, a refined ring of gleaming jade, a sweeping shadowy black velvet cloak, a pair of steel-buckled black leather boots, an exquisite soulmate ring, an earring depicting two female lovers through her left ear, an earring depicting two female lovers through her right ear, a mood ring adorned with a polished crystal, and a platinum and silver blue diamond wedding ring.[/B]

[SIZE="1"]My first manga ever purchased or my first series? Quite frankly, I cannot remember the first one I bought but the first series that I spent money on and completed was Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances. I remember that I was having trouble deciding whether I wanted to buy Kare Kano: Vol. 1 or I.N.V.U: Vol. 1. After reading the first ten pages of the two, Kare Kano was the obvious winner. To this date, I own all 21 volumes and it is one of my favorite ones. [/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]There are a few things we should consider. There is evidence for a lot of drug abuse lately and disabilities that require such things like walkers and canes are a result of that. Or in my case, being born with a disability just because my mom caught a horrible illness late in her pregancy. I hope I won't have to be relying on things like canes for a few more years.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]I come here mostly out of habit. As soon as I get online I type the url in without even realizing it till the page loads. Then I think to myself, why am I even here? Then since I am already on the page I browse around and post some. It is fun to keep an eye on things, you know?[/SIZE]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]This year I was planning to go see the Nutcracker ballet with my older sister. However I was not able to get tickets in time. So I am going to do what I do every year, nothing at all. Spokane is one of the most boring places you could live as there's never anything going on here of interest. So I will probably go ice skating once or twice before the holidays and that is it. We used to go to a neighbor's Christmas party every year but they moved out. Besides, my mom has MIRSA so no chance of going anywhere. I pretty much have to stay at home and take care of her. So have some fun for me guys, okay?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]It is kind of a mix for me. I lie a lot to my parents but I am pretty much honest and blunt everywhere else. I do no have to worry about being dishonest or honest anyways. I never talk much to even have to worry about lying or being honest. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Break']Yeah, well, I tried to at least. It's an awkward place to blow into though :animestun Can you recommend anything else?[/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Perhaps the light on your PS2 burned out. If you take it to a place that repairs game consoles, they can fix it for you rather cheaply. Better than mailing it to Sony.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [quote name='Blitz_Kid'] i need help with my computer, first of when my mom was signing up for People Pc they told her that it was ok to go online. but i had one problem. the computer wouldn't let me or my family go on the internet. so does anyone have any idea as to why that happen? my guess is that the phone modem doesn't work. [/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]I've had this problem before too on my old Gateway That had Windows ME. If you take your reboot discs, there should be one with programs and drivers on it. I forgot the exact process on how to go about it but if you go into custom install of programs, there should be a couple of modems you can install to your computer. Install those modems and you should be able to connect to the internet.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Androphobia- I have a fear of men or people in general. If I am not close to them and know them well, I get very shy, quiet, and nervous. When I am on the bus I get nervous if a guy sits next to me I do not know. I am even nervous if I am the only female employee at work during a shift. That is why I try to have a friend with me almost at all times when I am on the bus etc. Too many bad experiences I guess. I also have a fear of heights, however you do not notice it until we drive up into the mountains or on the ski hill. I try not to let it bother me.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]This company went under recently and it makes me upset and mad. They do not know when they will be back and they had to lay off all of their sales people. This means that series that they have been working on will be discontinued till further notice. Kyo Kara Maoh! is one of them. Any thoughts?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Deus ex Machina'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Ah, so you've seen them, just looking to buy. Well then I suggest buying ones you haven't seen yet. Though I still regret that I only ever got Lain on Signature Series, snxce those DVDs are ugly, though the series box is nothing to look at -_- I WARN YE. Kaleido Star has a lot of DVDs and they aren't always easy to find (I can only find goddamn New Wings) Anyway, if you didn't like Eva, why did you want the DVDs? :o[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Ones I am [B]not interested in to purchase a[/B]re Deathnote, Cowboy Bebop, DBZ etc etc etc, Pokemon etc etc etc etc, [B]Neon Genesis Evangelion [/B]and Samurai Champloo.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Any other good Gundam series? I liked every one so far and I've seen all or some about seven or eight of them. They are: G Gundam Gundam X Gundam 08 MS Team Gundam Wing Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory Gundam Seed Destiny One I forgot the title but it is about this little boy who's friend is a Gundam pilot or something. Judging from the art I think it came around in the 80's like Stardust. Does anyone know this? I like to make sure what I spend my hard earned money on is what I like. I did see a thin pack for Kaliedo Star season one out for $30 at Suncoast. Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket? I will have to check it out. I keep hearing that Gundam X will never be released in America. That true?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]I really like techno and many of it's sub-genres. Through experience, I found out that I prefer trance and dance a lot more than just techno. Techno just has the beats and music. Dance typically has lyrics along with the music. Trance has a more hypnotic feel to it compared to the rest. Trance is great music to listen to when you are trying to get a task completed. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]The only thing I found entertaining in Evangelion was the scene with the [spoiler]panties going everywhere[/spoiler]. Otherwise it was too dramatic and annoying to get in. DB, I've seen all of Lain and I do agree it is awesome. =3 I just love too many. I guess I will get Kaliedo Star next. It was extremely cheap at Suncoast. Lunox, can you tell me more about why you hate Loveless?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]I just bought Azumanga Daioh and Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. I own Outlaw Star and the hot anime right now like Bleach and Naruto I can watch easily without buying. What is annoying me right now is what to get next. It was difficult trying to find the right series to buy today. These series are the ones I am currently considering: Gundam Wing Gundam 0083 Gundam 08 MS Team Kaliedo Star Initial D Gravitation Sailor Moon Last Exile Lain Loveless Trigun Loveless has spiked some interest lately but I am weary of cat people. I've seen most or all of the series above. Ones I am not interested in to purchase are Deathnote, Cowboy Bebop, DBZ etc etc etc, Pokemon etc etc etc etc, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Samurai Champloo. I like some Shonen-ai but not the biggest fan. Kyo Kara Maoh and Gravitation are as far as I go in that area. I am a big gundam fan as you can tell and I love anything from romance to action however I am not too keen on the sci-fi genre. Advice?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkRed"]I am sure that a lot of you faced the heavy crowds shopping today so what did you get? I am relatively happy with my purchases. I managed to find a present for everyone in my family while getting a lot of things for me to boot. I forgot what her screen name is on this forum but I remember her saying that Azumanga Daioh was an excellent series so I bought that. I also bought Gundam Wing Endless Waltz movie, a video gamer rocker chair, and Kingdom Hearts 2 game for $20. Overall I was disappointed at Best Buy's selection of anime today. I ended up going to Suncoast. I wanted to go to Walden Books for manga but Borders was closer and I ended up going there. I went to Best Buy, Staples, Bath and Body Works, Suncoast, a sports store, and Shopko. I believe that Shopko had the best deals this year. So what places did you go? What stores had the best sales in your opinion? What did you buy?[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]I just want a laptop.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]I basically have four types of friends. They are my close friends of high school, college friends, friends from church and friends from work. I either work with my close high school friends or just play video games. Last time we all went out together was when we saw 300. Usually we just play guitar hero and Halo 3. When I hang out with the college group, we seem to watch anime a lot. Kyo Kara Maoh! and Deathnote to name a few. Besides anime, we watch a lot of Japanese quiz shows like Human Tetris and we laugh over guys trying to read English out loud. (Ex. A guy trying to read 100, and the way he says it is ten ten ten ten ten, etc.) Got to love the Japanese, eh? My church friends and I spend time watching movies and playing carpet ball. We also enjoy feeding homeless once a month, and going to various Bible studies. At work my friends and I stick together in order to handle the stresses of the day. Talking about annoying and dumb customers and laughing at them passes the time and keeps us from getting bored. Plus one of my co-workers starts these funny things and they so happen to catch on with the rest of us. I brought Dr. McNinja and his defeat of Ronald Mcdonald. Everyone jokes about that from time to time.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Right now I am watching Kyo Kara Maoh! So awesome. You all need to watch it. [IMG]http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/redir?src=image&clickedItemURN=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.answers.com%2Fmain%2Fcontent%2Fwp%2Fen%2Fc%2Fc4%2FA3741-76thumbnail.jpg&moduleId=image_details.jsp.M&clickedItemDescription=Image Details[/IMG] After this Friday, I hope to read Vampire Knights. I really enjoyed it when I read some of it in Shonen Beat.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Seeing as how I skipped Japanese class yet again today, and I have to work tonight, it won't be so fun. After work, however, I will hopefully finish the last two discs of Kyo Kara Maoh! season 1 after work so I guess my day evens out.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Now the idea that I was thinking for the Motoko outfit would be something like this. This cosplayer is wearing jeans over the outfit. It seems I cannot find any examples of other outfits she wears except that battle suit in 2nd Gig and that risqué one from the first season. [IMG]http://images.cosplay.com/photos/11/1122624.jpg[/IMG] Now for those who want to see my costume, this is my first serious costume. I admit that I could of done better. Critiques are welcome.

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]After finishing my Tifa (Advent Children) costume, I want to create another success. Now the boundries are: I will not dye my hair or get a weird haircut, no nudity, nothing to difficult yet I want to show off my body. So here are my choices that I have been considering: [B][U]Lain[/U][/B] [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b7/Serial_Experiments_Lain_DVD_Vol_00.png/235px-Serial_Experiments_Lain_DVD_Vol_00.png[/IMG] [B][U]Motoko Kusanagi[/U][/B] [IMG]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/108/284890992_17c3eed407.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]Rikku (FFX)[/U][/B] [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b303/JumiGirl/Final%20Fantasy/Final%20Fantasy%2010/d7a3d576.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]Rikku FFX-2[/U][/B] [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j178/animerapeistXD/Final%20Fantasy/FF10%20and%2010-2/RikkuCG.jpg[/IMG] I have random parts of either Rikku costume like the shirt for FFX and the mini-skirt for FFX-2. Thoughts? Or perhaps another character all together?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]I am in my own group of sorts. I do not really fit in anywhere. That was the case as well in high school and junior high. In high school though, I mingled with everyone but the popular crowd but mostly hung around the drama kids and my best guy friends. In college I tend to find myself chilling with the geeks. Watching anime, playing video games, playing card games, and abusing lame jokes that are only funny to us. HINT: Look at my signiture. I also tend to hang out with a few girls who are obsessed over yaoi as well. I'm not obsessed about it but I like some of it. (Gravitation) So in college I tend to stay with the geeks and nerds. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Thanksgiving is always kind of boring for me. We spend all day cooking to eat for an hour and then spend the rest of the day cleaning up dishes and watching football. But this year will be different. I will be working from 7 am to 1:30 pm. So no more food preparation for me...cept what goes on a McDonald's sandwich. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Perhaps if she does have a crush on you she loves your hair the most.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]There are a few that I read every now and then like VGCats and Ctrl Alt Del however my two favorite have to be MegaTokyo and Wiik Sauce. Wiik Sauce is JCBagge's newest project and it sounds very promising and has a lot of potiental. Megatokyo is just...fun. I miss Rodney Caston though. Megatokyo was better with him. Now it is some soap opera. T_T For those that do not know, Piro is based off the artist of Megatokyo, Fred and Largo is based off of Rodney. I miss the comic relief. B3w43 7|-|3 V1br471|\|g s|-|33p 0f d347|-|. I need to get better at 1337. Anyways, for those who cannot read that, that is from my favorite strip of Megatokyo, Beware the vibrating sheep of death. Brr brrr BRR brrrr. You are not 1337! Darn you are making me want to read that right now.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
