Japan

[FONT=courier new][/FONT] [COLOR=darkblue]I too open presents Christmas Eve. It is great to be part Scandinavian. It is a Scandinavian tradition to open presents on Christmas Eve night. hehehe...anywho...>.> I got pretty much all that I asked for, except I didn't get the first matrix movie. :( Other than that, I received a digidraw thingy, charcoal pencils, a new sketch book, Lion King DVD, Finding Nemo DVD, Gap hoodie, huckleberry candy canes, a rice cooker, $70 from my dad, $150 from my relatives, and what I didn't ask for, a discman. As you can probably tell, I love to draw. Drawing is what I spend most of my time doing...other than internet of course.:) I am also happy that I got that Lion King DVD. The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie of all time. Heck, a month earlier, my Lion King VHS broke from being overplayed so much. So, it is great to finally be able to see Simba, Pumba, and the rest of the characters of Lion King once again. I also like to wear hoodies everyday, heck, I am wearing the hoodie I received tonight right now. The discman is really nice. Tonight, when I was enjoying my new sketch book, I listened to Metallica. I was also overjoyed to get a rice cooker. Like some of you may know, I really love Japanese food. Now I can eat rice balls and sushi anytime I want. Yay!! All together, this year's Christmas was outstanding. Not only did I receive amazing things, I also got to have my dog alive and well. She has cancer and the Vet said that she may not live through Christmas. Boy, did my sweet dog prove them wrong. heh... I am going to save the money for my Japan trip next year and also for a few things I want from Hot Topic. Possibly a black trench coat, or a pair of baggy black jeans. Who knows. I am just really happy about this year. I am also looking forward to New Year's as well. heh [/COLOR]

I have quite a few New Year's Resolutions as well. [b]1. Meet Charles[/b]-He is my absolute greatest online friend ever. I want to be able to meet him someday. (Not that you others aren't great friends though. You know who you are) [b]2. Rock climb more[/b]-I really enjoy this activity a lot. I want to get into better shape, so why not have fun doing it? [b]3. Get Better Grades[/b]-I feel that a C in math and A's and B's in my other classes just don't cut it anymore. I want to try and get better grades. Especially since I am a junior and colleges and vocational schools look at your Junior grades instead of Senior. >.> [b]4. Try and watch a hundred more anime[/b]-I've seen over a hundred already and I want to see more and more. [b]5. Learn to play Guitar[/b]-I love this instrument. I have a guitar, but I don't know how to play it. By the time that 2004 is over, I want to be able to play something other and two folk songs that use only two chords.

What a laugh!!! I had blue hair. This is so cool! Awesome job DW, I couldn't stop laughing. It is to interesting and a bit random...heh.... Anyways, I can't wait to see your new creation.

Not bad, not bad at all. Though I don't agree with the 50% Buddhist, 50% Christian thing. That's just me. I do think that you have a way with words and that your poems and stories are excellent. Keep up the good work!

I have a few different sleeping patterns. The holiday/summer one, I stay up till 2 in the morning, and wake up about 9 AM. During the school week, I either go to bed at 10:30 PM, or 11:30 PM, and wake up at 6:45 AM the next morning. That is basically it, though sometimes I go to sleep at different times on a school night. I all depends on what is happening and how much homework that I have that I've been procastinating to do for the majority of that night. heh...So, my sleeping patterns are quite odd.

I think that you should buy it. I've heard that the game is very good fromwhat I hear from my friends that have it. Racing games are always best. In my opinion anyways.

Here is a comic of a few OBers and Deathknight stealing Otakusennen's soul. It is a little inside joke. So enjoy! Comment please.

Matthew Shepard, people killed in the Columbine shooting, and many others died because of hate crimes. I think that Matthew, who was killed because he was gay, and Rachel that got shot for believing in God in the Columbine shooting is really sad. I think that hate crimes are very bad, and it hurts many people. What about James Bryd Jr.? He was brutally beaten and dragged behind a car because he was black. What is this world coming too? What do you think about hate crimes? Do you think hat they are getting out of control?

A- anime....Anime is one of my most favorite things B-books....When I am absolutely bored, and there is no computer nearby, I read a lot of books C- Charles...He is such an awesome friend...I am very thankful for him D-Drawing/dancing....I draw every single day. It calms me and helps me feel better about myself. Dancing is just what I love to do. People say that I dance great E- eggs...eggs are one of my favorite foods F-Friends and Family...I don't know what I would do without them G- Gum...I love chewing gum H-History...one of my favorite subjects I- internet....it is what I do in my free time J-Jesus....my savior and whom I love K-Kids...they are so fun to play with L-love...if there wasn't any love, I wouldn't be the person that I am today. M- mashed potatoes...when I am sick, this is my comfort food N- nothing O-Otakuboards...my home away from home P- Pepsi...my favorite soda of all time Q-quarters...video games take this at the mall in order for you to play R-Rock music S- Snowboarding...what I like to do in my free time during the winter season T-Television...Other than computer, I love to do this during my free time U-ugh...one of my favorite words V- vending machines...I could not survive school without an occasional snack from the vending machines. W- wood working...This is a destresser. I love the smell of freshly cut wood. X- XMAS...Xmas is one of my favorite season Y- young...it is very grand to be young Z-zippers...they keep my clothes on my body

There are a few guilty pleasures that come to mind. I use all of the hot water whenever I take showers at night. I also draw all the time. I can never go a day without draw something. I often feel guilty afterwords because I sometimes forget about certain resonsibilities. Another guilty pleasure I have is staying on the nternet for hours on end. I feel bad that I spend that much time on it....my mom always gets on my case. She thinks and hour on the computer is too much anyways, I feel guilty for that pleasure. Other than that, I feel guilty for lying....heh

Yes I inline skate, skateboard, and snowboard. I have no clue...my mom was freaked when I first started skateboarding. I guess she was scared that I might brake my neck or something like that. Weird, she will let me skateboard, but she won't let me buy a katana. Anyways, I enjoy the sports I am in very much....though I am not very good at skateboarding yet. heh

OOC: I never really tried to role play before, so if I suck, don't hit me. IC: Japan stood up slowly. She was still a bit woozy from the bombs hitting her. She put on her Vash sunglasses and walked over to KKC, whom had mixed blood. Japan tripped on one of the crazy signs, started to fall. Syk ran over to her aid and caught her just in time. "Thanks.." said Japan. "Your welcome." The message, that was written in blood turned green. It looked like it was transformed by some greater being. Japan read the sign. It said "This way to sennen's soul!!!! Muhahaha." The sign pointed inside this creepy rundown house. Malajusted stopped making bubbles in her pipe and stared at the creaking door that opened and closed in the chilly wind. "I guess we have no choice. We have to enter that house, no matter how creepy," said Japan. Syk and Shinmaru slowly nodded. KKC grabbed Sennen by the collar and dragged him into the dark, scary house with the rest of the group. OOC: I hope that my post was good...

I prefer Dido more than anything else. Sarah is good too, but I think that her songs are a bit to slow for me. I just like Dido's better. Dido is cool!

I was bored so I turned on the TV last night. Channel surfing as I always do, I came upon this anime on TechTV. I thought that Silient Mobius was a bit confusing, but cool none the less. I am definately going to watch more of this. It is exceptionally good and very interesting. What do you guys think of it?

I feel like the whole world is mad at me right now at this very moment. I am mad at this world. If it weren't for God, Charles, James, and Tori, I would kill myself right now. I just been teased all my life, and I feel that I am not wanted around when I am talking to my online friends, except those mentioned above. It is even worse when I am with my friends at school.

I think that it is way better than the last time Greg. I can tell you put a lot of hard work into it. Great job! I can't wait to read the next part. [edit]I think I know who that mysterious woman is ;) [/edit]

I am going to make my next fanfic into an RPG. I will give you the major plot of the story. People are on a plane to fly to the Bahamas. On the way there, the engine fails and everybody but the pilots survives. All of their stuff burns up, expect one item they managed to grab before exiting the plane. [EDIT]Anyone may sign up...I feel that I may not get enough people to sign up...so, sign up if you wish[/EDIT] When you sign up, I need this information: Name Age Past Information/Biography Relations Name one item and one item only Career...if you are still in school, say you are a student This is my first real RPG so bear with me. Have fun and thanks!

Hey Neo!! That is a wonderful poem. That is very good. I read the other stuff that you wrote, and this is by far the best. :love2: Please post some more...please? Also, I hope that you are not depressed. You don't seem that way at school. I also thought that you didn't like depressed poems. Anys, I will see you in a bit kakarot. lol

Don't worry Vegeta Rocker. You're not alone. I really despise this anime movie as well. I don't think that the plot is very well developed. I didn't like the music either, and the animation reminded me of Astroboy. It didn't really catch my interest, even after watching the movie three times. I thought that ending wasn't very good either. Maybe if the plot was more developed, I would've enjoyed it more, but that's just me.

[COLOR=darkblue]Crest of the Stars? Hey I just saw that a couple days ago. I only viewed the first four episodes. I agree. It is pretty good. It is definitely something that I would like to continue watching. Too bad my friend, whom I borrowed the anime from doesn't have anymore episodes. :bawl: [/COLOR]

I love fansubs. They are cool because: 1. They are free. 2. Are in Japanese 3. Not censored I've seen a few different fansub shows. Naruto, Strawberry Eggs, Green Green, you name it. I enjoy them a lot. Since I am broke a lot of the time, the fact of these fansubs being free is really good. They are just a cheap way to enjoy anime.

I guess I would like to look like this: I would like to be six feet tall. Long blue hair with bangs, asian skin, oval shaped eyes, purple eyes, black plether bell bottoms, black tube top with a white dress shirt over the tube top, tied right underneath it and showing my very slim waist.
