Japan

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Each fantasy creature has good and bad aspects. Werewolves I noticed seem to have a family, a group of people that look out for eachother and does what their leader wishes. Vampires seem more like loners and do whatever they can and want because they can and need to survive. From what I read, werewolves can blend in society far more easier than vampires. That is because they can go out in daylight and vampires can't. Werewolves can also eat regular food and are loyal to eachother. Like I said, they are a family, a pack, much like real wolves. Vampires have more specific needs and most of them are greedy back stabbing bastards. They crave blood and they need to drink blood to survive. From the Anita Blake series that I read, there was a vampire head of a city and he had vampires work for him. Part of this 'contract' was protection from the head of the city from rogue vampires and the other part was to serve the head. What he said was law. Before I read various werewolf and vampire stories, I would of said vampires all the way. I still do, but I like werewolves now too. I don't know but there seems something 'sexual' about vampires. What do you guys think?[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I own: Nintendo 64 Slim Playstation 2 (Broken Once) Gameboy Colour Green Gameboy Colour Clear ( Sold) Gameboy Pocket Blue ( Sold sadly) I want to own: XBOX 360 Playstation 3 Wii I really wish I didn't sell my extra gameboys because now I cannot use my link cable to trade pokemon between my yellow, red, and blue versions of pokemon. I want a PS3 for Devil May Cry 4 and other racing games and the other two for Halo 3 and Wii sports. I'd probably get a PS3 first though, when they EVER decide to make it cheaper.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]When I get a new series from a friend, like when they own the entire series, I watch it all within a weekand. That is what I did with Fushigi Yugi, Deathnote, first half of Kodocha, etc. When I do this, my parents tend to get really annoyed. Last night I had an anime marathon. I usually do this when I like the anime that is On Demand. The new Pokemon series is pretty good, I admit, voices bug me though. Thanks to battle royale, I also think of morbid and funny situations in some serious situations of anime I do not tend to like. If I am forced to watch such an anime I either do not pay attention or make fun of it...brutally. I laugh so hard when a scene is so ridiculous that you know what is going to happen before it happens. I usually make fun of all anime that I do not love and adore. [spoiler] Like when REM and Light died in Deathnote. [/spoiler] [spoiler]I vaguely remember when Goku was fighting cell the last time. I had tears in my eyes and I saying to the tv, don't die, DON'T DIE!!! And when he did I shouted at the tv, DAMMIT.[/spoiler] I was like...14 or so at the time? Only certain anime get me so worked up. And when people won't shut up when we are watching anime I either hit them or walk away with the anime (if it is on a laptop) And go watch it by myself elsewhere.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Right now I am listening to my Halo 3 Zune. What I've been mostly listening to is Everlast What it's like and the Halo 1 and 2 soundtracks.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]You could just buy DDR and play that several hours a day. That's what I usually do. I also walk a LOT. I've done dance classes and martial arts in the past and I want to do some hip hop again or try belly dancing. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]It depends who you ask, how you ask, where you live, how old the person is that you ask, and how knowledgeable they are of anime. Try looking on TheOtaku to see which has the most fan art and I guess you can go by that.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]There is nothing I love more than to snuggle down in a nest of blankets. During the winter, I have my feather down blanket, quilt, bed cover, sheet, my Mexican blanket, another sheet, and my black felt kanji blanket all on top of me. When I am cold when I am playing video games or watching a movie, I grab a cup of hot green tea, and my quilt and kanji blanket. The reason why I call it my kanji blanket is because it has a kanji design on the front with various kanji. I love being under my many blankets on a freezing cold morning. Good luck getting me out of it or waking me up.[/COLOR]

She is a pure black lab and is really sweet. I bought her from a friend who's brother didn't want her anymore. He has a mental disability and he didn't like her for chewing up his stuffed animals. They bought the puppy for him. I knew the dog from youth group because she visited old folks in the nursing home. So I got her on my birthday shortly after my other dog, Shannon died. Her full name is Guppy Giggle Wigglebottom. She has her name because the family who owned her before are silly and they used to have two dogs named Fish and Chip. One of those died. [/COLOR] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26372&stc=1&d=1188831240[/IMG] [COLOR="DarkRed"]This is Josie. It used to belong to my brother in law and sister but after my sister gave birth to my nephew, we ended up keeping the kitten because we didn't want the baby to get hurt. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Personally I do not like Excel Saga very much. Some series that I recommend and that I am currently watching is: Dominion Tank - A scifi series that came out in the 80's. The setting for this series is sometime in the future where some poisoness bacteria is in the atmosphere that can kill people if they breathe it in too much without a mask. In this time, there are several gangs running around causing havoc. There is the tank police who take care of these rascals with their hi-tech tanks. Funny and catchy music. Jubei-chan- A series 300 year old legacy of a girl who is suppose to keep a tradition of a specific samurai style. Only saw the first episode but it is very good. GTO and SuperGALS are also good shows too.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I have a new nickname as of this week. [B]Lady[/B]. One of my co-workers at McDonalds calls me that. I do not know why but he does.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Simple answer, and a few steps to a safe and awesome credit history: [LIST=1] [*]Get a Credit Card [*]Buy a suitcase or safe [*]Put credit card in said suitcase or safe [*]Lock said said suitcase or safe [*]5. Hide key [/LIST] And only use the card for booking flights or emergencies! Thus you can build up good credit history[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I only have three nicknames. La-chan was given to me from my friend, Joey that I met winter quarter. He loves to draw a lot of comics and that nickname was what I was called in the funny comic situations. Ninja was given to me one night I was playing Halo 2 with the guys. Regan who is a far better player than me, blurted it out when I killed him the third time by sneaking behind him and wacking his head with the butt of my gun. Japan or Siena are my most common ones. That is because Japan is my screen name and that name has stuck with me since 2001. Siena is the name of my character on Achaea. Whenever I see an OB person or Achaea person on any website, they call me those names.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]1.) Long or short For most of my life I had my hair long to my butt or close. Recently I cut it to where it was a little longer than my chin. Now it is about past my shoulders. Most of my life I either had bangs or none. Right now I have sweep bangs that fall about my face. I am trying to grow my hair long again. 2.) Color brown with natural blonde, brown, and red highlights 3.) Have you dyed it? nope, afraid to 5.) What length do you prefer on the opposite sex? So long as there's some to play with I'm happy...thus crew cuts and baldness turns me off. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Now, I would like some reccommended reading if you can give it. I am looking more towards vampire/fantasy stories along that line. Lycans/shapeshifters too! Let's see, I already read most of the Anita Blake series but stopped when it got too focused on sex. I am in the middle of reading Magic Bites and working on the series that has Interview With a Vampire. So do you guys know of any good vampire novels that I missed?[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Here is the closest that I can find for a lookalike for right now. It is Kairi from the Second Kingdom Hearts. Even though I have natural red, brown, and blonde highlights, my hair is a little more brown than hers. [/COLOR] [IMG]http://zelda-fans.com/blog/wp-content/images/_KH2%20Opening.JPG[/IMG]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Most of my run ins with the police happened when I was a child. I was irresponsible a lot and often in my own little world that I go off and my parents lost track of me and panicked. They sent the cops after me. This happened about four times. ^^ All the other times were for breaking and entering construction sites. I was skinny and small enough so I went into this new housing complex they were building. I managed to get in there about five/six times to play with the various debris in there and on the seventh time, a cop saw me enter the complex and scolded me for entering a dangerous place. I also took various odds and ends like fences, wood, metal debris, etc and made my own hideout. I set up the hideout behind this one building by someone's wooden fence. Twice cops or the people of the building tore down my hideout. My most recent one was when I was a senior of high school and still hung out with a questionable crowd. We went 'urban exploring' as they called it. We were at a construction site and we snuck through a hole in the fence. We were walking around the area with flash lights to see if we could find anything interesting. Turns out that a cop saw as enter and came to my friend who was the look out. My friend made excuses (he is very good at lying) and managed to make the cop leave...or so we thought. After we snuck back out and got back in the car, we found the cop following us. We quickly parked near the mall and split up. We met at the mall and the cop lost us. I was freaking out that last time because I just turned 18. Thankfully, I am no longer into trouble like that...at least for now.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Then I shall tell you... [QUOTE]Method 22: Form an elitist clique, mention it frequently, and don't let anyone else join. Choose your clique members wisely! You don't want nondescript members dragging your group down—no one would care about a club made of ten Naruto fans! You want to associate yourself with high-profile (or upwardly-mobile) members. This is best used in combination with one of the above methods to cement your status in the minds of others. Not only are you great... you're so great that you're in an exclusive club! And everyone else is out-of-luck, because unless they're already in... they're just not good enough to join. Your Mentors: [B]Adam's Angels[/B], Otaku Triad [/QUOTE] Charlie's Angels is a group that I started with me, Mei, and Kittylyn, who both are no longer with us because they grew up from this place. Such like Queen Asuka, Babygirl, and Lady Macaiodh. Kittylyn is the blonde, I'm the brunette, and Mei is the red head.Who Charlie is is self explainitory. You see, we are also a otakuboards clique and not to be thought as the girls from the movie. And what of C[SIZE="3"]A[/SIZE]TTITUDE?[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]You forgot to mention Charlie's Angels[/COLOR]

[quote name='taperson'][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"][SIZE="1"]Barbies. Barbie limos, Barbie pools, Barbie babies, Barbie clothes, Barbie shoes, Barbie gymnasts, Barbie Olympics, Spice Girls Barbies... everything Barbie. But no Ken. Also, my brother and I had THE Supersoakers that everyone wanted. I don't remember water fights that much... but I do remember the Supersoakers... goodness. A huge thing that my parents did for all the kids in the neighborhood was when we would pull out the sprinkler and hose and a buttload of watercolor paints. We would paint each other and then run through the sprinkler over and over and over and over again... it was so much fun! Come to think of it, I didn't really play with toys either... my neighborhood was all about playing a game of some sort after dark. Every. Single. Night. Ahh, it was fabulous.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkRed"]My brother and I got in the worst fights with the hose and our supersoaker. He always won. I also had what would be considered $400 worth of legos, barbies, lincoln logs, a hand me down bike and an awesome scooter...that I had to sell a year after before I moved to England. When I lived in Illinois with my two best friends' families, we'd play capture the flag, rollerblade, and run and slide on ice. Yeah, not many toys growing up. We made our toys out of ice, trash bags, etc. Oh, I did LOVE my friend's Sega Genesis and Playstation.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Right now I am working on: Devil May Cry 3 FFVIII FIX FVII Sonic Mega Collection Kingdom Hearts NFS: Underground Robotech Battlecry DDR Extreme Zelda: Windwaker Zelda: Ocarina of Time Zelda: Twilight Princess Will I finish and beat these games? Perhaps. I will finish these games...maybe in five years. I beat Sonic the Hedgehog 2 when I was little but that was forever ago. I almost beat FFIX but I can't beat the last boss. Most others I play casually unless I have more time to devote to it. Usually that's a no.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Right now I am listening to music that is on my mp3 player. But...these are the ones that I listen to most lately. Flyleaf's debut album Rihanna- Unfaithful Skillet- Comatose album Kodocha soundrack - Vitamin Love I am not a big R&B fan but the Unfaithful song is from one of my favorites of Kodocha AMVs Skillet and Flyleaf put me in better spirits and Kodocha has some fun music.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]There's only three anime that I am watching right now. Bleach is one of them. However, I do not see my friend much that downloads them. Well, that is not entirely true, but he uses the school's internet connection to get them and it is summer break. Episode 128 was the last one that I've seen. Other than that, I am also watching Kodocha and SuperGALS. I am on episode 48 of SuperGALS and episode 51 of Kodocha. I have to wait before my friend finishs Kodocha before I can borrow it. >_< And I have to wait for more episodes of SuperGALS to come onto ON DEMAND on Comcast. As for my reading list, I am just reading Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and Fruits Basket. I tried several other manga but I stop reading them if they bore me. I want to read Kodocha and Kare Kano again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I am proud of my sweet personality. Proud of my friends. Proud of a job well done. Proud of my family. Proud of my nephew. Proud I'm alive. Proud of being better off than most with the same disability. I am also humble of these things as well. God can easily take away those things that He so readily gives. I am proud that He loves me and also humble for that fact.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]My favorite book has to be... [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Soup-Rice-Book-Months/dp/006443253X"]Chicken Soup With Rice![/URL] It is a book of months. I remember as if it were yesterday: [QUOTE]In January it's so nice while sipping on sliding ice to sip hot chicken soup with rice sipping once sipping twice sipping chicken soup with rice.[/QUOTE] I used to know the book by heart for all 12 months. I think I still have it somewhere in my mom's library.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Now this just happened last night. I was hit on by practically every male in my age group of 17-25 for a graveyard shift at McDonalds. I was given flowers, they tried to flirt with me, and they tried to get free food and sauces from me. All of them were drunk. I was getting more sarcastic and moody as the night wore on. [/COLOR]
