Japan

[COLOR=DarkRed]I don't really know what I want. Perhaps some chokers, hoodies, puzzles, like that puzzle cube, Go, and some Chinese style bookcase, desk, and screen divider.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]There isn't many places that I like to be lately, but there is one place I like the best. That is riding the city bus in the dark. That is one of the only places that is peaceful for me anymore in this stupid city that I live in. In the bus, particularly at night and early morning, they have these soft blue lights on. They light up the bus enough for you to see, but it is dark enough to relax. In Washington State University when I was there for drama trips, there was a place within the student union building where I could go sit and watch the bay and piers.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Most Thanksgiving holidays are boring and uneventful. Usually because my family is away from most relatives so it is usually just immediate family. But this year will be different. Since my friend, Ian is going to come over for the [URL=http://www.achaea.com]Achaean[/URL] meet that will be happening day after, he's going to stay at my place and enjoy the holidays with my family, then we'll go to the meet and hang out with people who also play achaea.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Usually at the point and time something happens it is usually at home and usually I always need to get away from it. Since I do not have a car and since my dog usually puts me in better spirits, I take her on a walk. I let her off the leash at the park and just throw the frisbee or tennis ball around. Or, we even just pounce on eachother for fun. I also bring my cell along to be able to talk to someone...to rant until I settled down enough to take more crap when I get home.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]I actually have new plans as of right now. I will be going to the anime club halloween party out at the community college. Mainly because it will be fun, but also I am supplying the DDR. So I have to go. There will be Guitar Hero, DDR, AMVs, Hellsing, COSPlay contest, and pikachu pinatas. That will end around 6 pm, and then my friends Tanner, Mike, co. and I will go to this creepy hollow where people jump out of the bushes to scare the crap out of you in some woods. Really fun. I can't wait.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]When I was in high school, I was never a big fan of dances. Especially after Freshmen year I was stood up by my date. But that is another story. The only homecoming dance I had fun at was when I was at my friend's house playing Halo 2, eating pizza, and drinking coke. Now that was the best ever. The dances are all very lame. You were not allowed to wear shoes. They only play hip hop and rap. People get away with doing inappropiate stuff like mooning, and they hold proms at the most ridiculous places. [/COLOR]

[color=darkred]I just stay at home to watch horror and haunted house investigation shows. But this year I bought a clown costume for my black lab, so I may very well just take her trick or treating and keep all the candy for myself. Lol Not really, but I will still dress her up in her costume and take her for a walk.[/color]

[COLOR=DarkRed]You could try to ask at [URL=http://www.cosplay.com]Cosplay.com[/URL] to actually get a lot better advice from a lot of experienced cosplayers. Though, do you or anyone you know how to sew? Because that will be a major factor whether or not you can get this costume made rather cheaply. If you pay someone to do it, it may cost you over $500. What would help you though, if you were to go to a craft store, and find a pattern for what Kenshin's outfit is. After you get the basic pattern, you can tweak it a bit to look more like Kenshin's clothing. Since you have the hair pretty much figured out, you do not need my help with that, though pay close attention to what Kenshin ties his hair back with, whether it would be a leather twine or something else. As for the black socks, you will have to buy those or you can try to make your own. Where, I think you can just buy extra large nylon socks....or something similar, and cut a slit to where the the space between the big toe and other toes are. As for sandals, try to find some type of sandal with a natural look to it. If you do not have the time or the ability to do that, you can go in your regular shoes. It is just Holloween, right? Then you will not have to be so picky. As for the pants, if you follow the pattern and make it to your size, it should be rather easy to make. For the sword, I am sure you can find a a plastic one at any toystore or costume shop. Also, if you go to a craft store, you will be able to find leather twine for carrying the sword around your waist, but try to find something pretty thick for around the waist. Perhaps maybe leftover material from the pants, and use the twine for actually securing the sword to the belt. As for the scar, I am sure you can find a girl who has dark brown eye liner. Just use it to draw the scar on your cheek and make sure you put it on dark enough so that it will stay on all night. You can always wash your face after the night is over to remove it. I hope this helps. Good luck! =^.^=[/COLOR]

I have been pretty busy lately so when I finally have time to myself, I draw. This particular drawing, is of my character on Achaea. She is a nudist, but I drew her appropiately to be shown here. What do you guys think? [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25869&stc=1[/IMG]

[COLOR=DarkRed]I can't really answer that for you, but you can start off researching about the biology that can be found in that sea, or, you can go on another route and research about the various different jellyfish species that are from that area. If you are in college, I'm sure that there are plenty of teachers to ask that. Or if you want, you can try to go to one of those homework help sites and look there. Good luck![/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][list=1] [*]Horse The Band - "Birdo" [*]Marilyn Manson - "Disposable Teens" [*]Insane Clown Posse - "Echo" [*]Luci Turilli - "War of The Universe" [*]Atreyu - "Bleeding Mascara" [*]Gorilliaz - "Dare" [*]Cradle Of Filth - "Swansong For A Raven" [*]Loituma - "Ievan Polka" [*]Drowning Pool - "Bodies" [*]Nonpoint - "In The Air Tonight [*]Within Temptation - "Stand My ground" [*]The Wingless - "Silent Hill 2 There Was a Hole Here OC Remix" [*]Dir En grey - "Cage" [*]The Prodigy - "Breathe" [*]Nightwish - "Phantom of the Opera" [/list] Pretty random, yeah, but I love all of these songs. There are about 500 mp3s on this disc of mine, and that is what came up[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]This band is quickly becoming my most favorite Jrock band. They are a hard rock/goth band. The genres they play in their music is endless. From goth rock to indie to punk, they do it all. The are also more different then most bands too. They dress up, puke in have gore in their videos, and have a lot of passion for what they like to do best. The members are as follows: Kyo -lead vocals Kaoru -guitar/vocals Die - Guitar/vocals Toshiya -bass Shinya - drums The first song I heard from them, Child Prey, I didn't like them at all, but they grew on me. My signiture is from Child Prey, and of Die, my favorite of the group. My avatar is either Die or Kaoru. Who else likes these guys?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Since the other names that I had for such short periods are irrelevant in the matter, I will only explain my current screen name as it is the one I had in the beginning of joining here, and I will continue to keep it. This is how I am known. No matter what, Japan_86 is burned into my skin, forever and ever. Basically, back in 2001, unlike others whom had screen names such as Heero yuy lover or dbzfan, I wanted to rise above that. I wanted to have something other than just the generic screen name that others chose. Since I like all about Japan, and since I was born in 1986, I made the screen name here as Japan_86. Actually, I had this screen name for me in a much longer time. Back in 1998 when I was creating my first email account, (my first one ever!) my sister was helping me at the time. I was 12 then and just getting into the computer/internet scene. Believe it or not I was really dumb with the computers at the time. When she asked me for a desired screen name, and since I was really into PokeMon, I decided on Japan_86. And I had it ever since.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Yeah I guess this a good show to set an example for dumb girls whom are too naive to watch for the danger signs. I've met several online people, and they are cool. I am not dumb to start talking to a complete stranger and decide to meet them the next weekand....or alone.[/COLOR]

The last movie that I saw was called Protector. About some Thai protector of elephants. Which is freaking awesome. [spoiler]There is this one scene where he breaks so many bones of like 50 people when they go after him.[/spoiler] I really loved the movie, but it made me feel sad.

[COLOR=DarkRed]For most of my life before I moved to England, I used to go to my dad's co-worker's farm to enjoy fireworks and have a BBQ. It was mainly a Fourth of July Celebration, but they celebrated it on my birthday which is the day before. Anyways, we'd always set off fireworks, eat a lot of good food and just have fun. After I moved to England, we always went somewhere fun for my birthday. In fact, whenever my birthday came around, my dad had these business trips to go to. So I got to hang out in Southern Germany once, got to go to Northern England near Scotland, and the first year I was in England, my mom took me to Legoland....yes Legoland. Now, what we mostly do for all family members now because we are in the states and all adults, we go out for a nice dinner somewhere or my mom cooks the one who's one year older their favorite meal. Fun stuff and yummy too! EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention. My family also have thsi tradition where for your tenth birthday, you can go to anywhere in the US you wanted. My dad took my brother to Chicago for his and my mom took my sister and I on our tenth birthdays to California to see our aunt. Fun stuff.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Since I have been too broke or too busy to really play much, the last game I bought was Devil May Cry 3. I haven't gotten very far in it but I still play it occasionally. Before that though, I was given Final Fantasy IX. In that game, however, I am at the last boss. For now I do not think I will be able to finish the game because I favored Dagger, Zidane, Freya and Vivi too much and rushed through the game...so low levels and characters that can't do a single thing to stay alive or kill the boss is really annoying.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I go to school full time and work half time. The part time job I have is at McDonalds. The best part of the job is the money (of course) and also the half price deal on all the menu except for the dollar menu. What really sucks about it is that there are some managers that I absolutely hate working with and there are sometimes really rude customers. Oh yeah, I hate working the breakfast shifts. That is the most annoying of all.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Shinje][color=seagreen] I'm gonna go with number 3 here. If you didn't own an XBox then two statements would be untrue. Of course you could still play Halo 2 at a friends, but I'm gonna risk it. Lock in number 3 thanks. [b]Useless Facts and Trivia concerning the one they call Shinje:[/b] [list=1] [*]I have a drivers licence [*]Star Wars bores the crap out of me [*]I am a Christian [*]I sport jet-black, spiked hair.[/color] [/list][/QUOTE] [COLOR=Navy]Actually, you found a truth, hun. I absolutely love Halo 2, but I only own a thin PS2 and a N64. I just go to a friend's when I wanna play Halo 2 since I do not own that.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]Since the last person did not really post anything other than a possible answer for someone else, here are my statements. 1. People think I look 16 2. I own an Xbox 3.I play Halo 2 4. I'm afraid of heights[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I am surprised with myself lately because I seem to be crazy about old navy flip flops. I never used to be much into them but now I love them. But I still love my sneakers, which I always wear when I go out, unless it is nothing too long or too physical then I wear flip flops. Other than that, I am not much into shoes. I really like new balance. Black colour and male shoe preferred.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]Personally, I prefer subs. Though I do like certain dubs like Outlaw Star. Like in Gravitation, DNAngel and Naruto, I prefer the subbed versions. Though I prefer subbed versions, it is fun to be able to watch both and then compare the two.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]What year did you graduate from High School?[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]2005[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed]What "clique" did you belong to?[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Did I belong to one? I dunno. I was shy and I didn't really fit in any one particularly. Freshmen year I was in with the Drama and stage crew crowd, the year after I was in with the punks and drama. For junior year I waswith the anime geeks and Japan enthusiests. Senior year I just spent my entire time with my best friend, Regan and his guy friends. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed]Do you still remember your friends, do you still keep in touch? [/COLOR] The only people I keep in touch with are Regan and the rest of the guys. Mainly Regan, Andy, Josh, and Brian. [COLOR=DarkRed]What state/province/country did you graduate from?[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]I graduated from boring Spokane, Washington[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed]Do you remember your high school enemy?[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Hard not to remember. I had quite a few. One I work with[/COLOR]. [COLOR=Navy]I hated high school to tell you the truth. Senior year I absolutely did nothing that a typical senior does. I went over the Regan's to play Halo 2 and stuff during the nights of the big dances. Which are tons more fun then dressing up and dancing to hip hop with no date anyways. Cheaper too. So, in short, Senior year was best. A lot of video game playing[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]Or if you live in the States, you could just watch Piano On Demand. That's where I got to see eight of it's episodes. In fact, that is a great way to see more anime in my opinion. Anyways, back onto topic. I usually prefer faster paced anime, but this is fun to watch. I am not much into Piano music, but it is ok. At least I am not afraid to watch this anime in front of my mom. :)[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]My guilty pleasure would be the the anime SuperGALS. It is a really cheesy girl kind of show. I usually enjoy more action and humor than some girly anime. It is funny though. It deals a lot about fashion, boy troubles, basically being a girl, etc. It is one of my favorite anime.[/COLOR]
