An embaressing moment happened not to long ago. Last Wednesday I think it was. Well, I was running late for the bus, and I ran all the way down the street. The bus stopped right in front of me...when I crossed the street,I slipped on black ice and tripped on the bar that comes out when the bus stops. I hurt my hands and my left knee. All in front of every one.

There aren't that many that I absolutely got to date. In fact, I have only three male characters that come to mind. Yuki from Gravitation, and Vash, and Wolfwood from Trigun. Yuki, because he is so good looking. I just love his eyes. He is the novelist and lover of Shuuichi. If you are wondering, Gravitation is a shone-ai. Anyways, Yuki is so mysterious and confusing. That's what I like about him other than his appearance. This is his picture if you don't know what he looks like. It is the thing that is uploaded into the post. I like Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun. They are just all around fun loving guys. They like to party, protect people, and make sure that everyone is alright. Since Trigun is a pretty popular anime and there are banners and avatars flying all over OtakuBoards of Wolfwood and Vash, I feel no need to post a picture of them

I moved a lot over the years, and I go through it all the time. Like, my best friend ever since I was 7. We were so very tight, but, nowadays, with her being in Kansas and I in Washington. We've grown apart. It really hurts. She isn't the only one though. I've had several friends that I thought were good friends. When I moved away to a different country, or a different state, we stop talking to eachother and then that friendship is lost. I had to go through the same process not to long ago. My good friend, who was a French exchange student, spent the school year at my house. We were really great friends. Now that he is back in his own country, he stopped writing emails and calling. I am afraid that he is not wanting to call because his English is getting worse and also because of the war of Iraq. I don't want to lose him as a friend and just forget him. Letting go hurts. I know that for a fact. I had to let go several times already. After time, I think that letting go makes you a stronger person. It also helps form you into a person who will abled to sympathize with a person going through it for the first time. Letting go of past friendships is just way of life. You'll just have to keep your chin up and hope for the best, I guess. ^_^

There are a few that I can remember off the top of my head. Let's see.... The last few events of Trigun was very moving. [spoiler]I was very upset that Wolfwood died. It was honorable, yet very sad. I was very touched that Millie started balling on the bed. Wolfwood was one of my favorite characters. I thought that it was a nice touch for Wolfwood to help Vash stop Knives in the end.[/spoiler] Cowboy Bebop was also moving. [spoiler] I was very shocked that Spike died. I was so not expecting that to happen. Since I last viewed this series a couple years ago, I am a bit fuzzy on the details, so I'll leave it at that. [/spoiler] Another emotional moment was in the last couple episodes of the Cell saga in DragonBall Z. [spoiler]I was very very upset that Goku died and decided not to come back to the earth for awhile. I almost cried. I also felt like I had the same emotions as Gohan when used the khamaha wave to finally destroy Cell once and for all. It was hard to see Chichi's reaction to the news of Goku's death and not wanting to come back.[/spoiler] The last emotional moment that I can think of right now are certain scenes from Samurai X: Betrayal and Reflection. [spoiler] I was suprised as well as sad when Kenshin accidently killed his wife, Tomoe, and when she gave him that other scar on his face to form an X. Also in Reflection, I was sad that it came to a sad end. Kenshin marrying Koaru, having a son, and in the end, Kenshin dying in her arms. [/spoiler] Like I said, those are the only ones I can think of at the moment. I may have more. If I do, I will post at a later time.

My homecoming was ok. I went with my friend, Mike. He's a cool guy. He took me to a resteraunt called, "The Thai Cafe." The food was wonderful! After that, we went to his house, took pictures, and played video games. Then we went to the dance. I helped him learn how to dance, since he didn't know how. Then we just danced, walked around, and hang out with friends the rest of the dance. After the dance, we played more video games till 1 in the morning. It was pretty cool and a lot of fun. I have one more chance to go to Homecoming next year, but that's it.

I guess that I had a couple of dreams about OtakuBoards. One of them, I thought that I was banned and that James, Charles, and my other moderator friends hated me and thought that I was a piece of ABC gum. That was a very bad nightmare. My other dream wasn't so bad. I had a dream that I went to New Jersey and met Charles, Shy, Otakusennen, and syk3. We had a big party at Charles' house. We played video games and listened to Charles rap. After everyone else left, I received a hug and a kiss from Charles. That last dream was pretty cool. The first dream scared me half to death and I couldn't get a wink of sleep that night. heh...good thing that the first one was only a dream. Those are the only dreams I remember having about OtakuBoards. I might of had more, but I must of forgotten.

I lived in many places. I was born in Florida. Then I moved to Illinois and lived there for 9 years. I moved to England for 3 years after that. Now I am in Washington State.

I sometimes do stupid stuff. It really annoys me when it happens. I always seem to do stupid stuff when I am trying to impress someone, or when I am trying to say my true feelings to someone I have feelings about. It isn't as bad as it was a few years ago. Though, it still happens. Like Piromunkie said, I try to make a joke out of the things that appear or sound stupid. That helps bring the teasing level sdown and, me not feeling so embaressed.

I am taking Japanese at my school right now. My school also has a Japanese club. What we do in Japanese club is watch anime, play video games, eat rice balls ^_^, and learn about the culture. We have it every other Friday. The next meeting is this Halloween after school. What we are doing for the special occasion of Oct. 31, is a COSplay party. Good luck. I hope that the stuff that my Japanese club does helps you out. Good luck!

hmm.....When I was little, My favorite toy has to be Legos. I loved building cars, and have the little lego people ride in them. I caught myself in several occasions playing for many hours. After I was finished. My whole bed room would be a total mess. The whole floor literally covered with various lego pieces. I sometimes still play legos to this day. Legos are just a lot of fun. Thus, my favorite toy when I was little.

I have a couple friends who live near it *hint*hint* I worry a lot. I am afraid that they might get hurt, or their house will get burned down and they will lose everything. I've been praying a lot for their safety. Many people are already homeless. I am sorry that they lost their homes. I just hope that the fire fighters stop that fre before it destroys anymore homes.

I am ceramics 3 right now. I took it all year last year and I enjoyed it. So, I am taking the next class in ceramics. I've made so many pots. I also made a sculpture of an iguana. I love ceramics. Other than woodshop and Japanese, it is my favorite class. I also feel lucky because I have a great teacher. He is a great artist and really outgoing. Since I took ceramics 1 and 2 sophmore year, I am going to take 3 and 4 this year. I feel really relaxed in that class. It is just a nice class to have for a change.

I thought that the the movie was pretty cool. I liked the battles scences, the gore (some of it anyways), and the animation. The character development, like others said, was poorly done. I unstand the movie, but that's from watching it more than once. I didn't get the chance to read the manga, or see the series yet. Though I would like to. I also agree that many things from CLAMP are very good. X The Movie was cool looking, but the development of the characters, a bad job.

Lion King on DVD art supplies (drawing) money katana new tennis shoes Japanese kanji wall scrolls That's it really. I doubt I am going to get the katana. It is about $400. Expensive! I don't think that I can get Japanese kanji wall scrolls either because they are hard to find. (I can't order stuff of the internet) I know that I will get the rest because I am in dire need for new shoes. Money is an easy gift. Lion king, just because my VHS version broke from over play. Anyways, that's really all I want for Christmas. I am pretty content.

Oh, very nice!!!! I finally get to see some of your drawings. yay!! hehe! I think that you did a wonderful job, I also think that you have potiental as an artist. One question though....is the character that you drew...is his name, Fukira? I was just wondering.If it is supposed to be Akira, as the file name suggests, then I will show you the right way to write it out in katakana.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I thought, was an alright, but irrating book. [spoiler]Professor Umbridge made me so angry. Then, at the end, Sirius died...bleh[/spoiler] Like, what's up with that. My favorite book of the series would have to be Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. [spoiler]I like the goings of the Triwizard tournament, and the mystery. I also like the ending with Voldemort coming back.[/spoiler] This book was just too cool. I don't think that the movies are that good compared to the books. I do agree though, that if the the movie had every single thing that was in the books, the movies would be over 3 hours long. I still think that the movies are pretty good. They just left out a few things.

Hey guys, here is the next part. It is getting close to the end...somewhat. Anyways, I want to add another person to the list of OBers that are in this. I just wasn't sure if he was going to PM me back, but he did. [b]Geist-Johann[/b]. So there you go. enjoy....and reply, please. [i]Wednesday At lunch, Laura's friends were exclaiming, "I knew it, I knew it!" Kayla, Sam, and Caroline were excited and kept on saying that Laura was so lucky. Laura couldn't wait for lunch to end. She wanted to see Charles. She wanted to thank him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In chemistry, Charles and Laura were talking and passing notes the whole period. The girls, Josh noticed, seemed to be looking at Charles dreamingly, while looking at Laura with piercing cold eyes. The girls looked like they were getting jealous. Charles and Laura didn't notice. It was now 3 days till that couple dance for Hello Week at school to take place. Everyone who didn't get a date yet were tense. Josh and James had a little trouble finding theirs, but by the end of the day, they found 2 girls, Sara and Tori. Will also found a date. His date was a girl named Natalie. Kayla, Sam, and Caroline went with their boyfriends. Caroline was very hyper talking about Adam this, and Adam that. Sam, who is pretty quiet about dances, was very excited as well. She was so happy to be going with her boyfriend, Johann. They just started going out in early July. The only one who didn't have a date yet was Laura. Chemistry was now over. That girl, Samantha, was talking to Chris up in front of the class room. Charles told Laura to stay behind while he put away the beakers and Bunsen burners, for it was his turn to put them away. Laura, who followed Chris to the back of the room, couldn't help but over hear what Chris and Samanttha were saying, for they were a little loud. "Hey Chris, I was wondering...," started Samantha. "Yes?" "I was wondering, will...will, will you go to the dance with me? I really like you a lot." "I am sorry," said Chris, "I cannot returen your feelings. I'm gay. I don't really want to go with you." Chris left the room with an eye watering Samantha behind him. Charles motioned for Laura to look at him, and she looked up into his brown eyes. Charles started to speak. "Laura, I had fun yesterday, and you are very sweet, nice, and fun to hang out with. Well, will you go to the dance with me?" "Sure! I would love to go with you." Charles and Laura left the room together. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Right after school, Kayla, Caroline, Sam, and Laura went dress shopping. It took several hours for them to find the right one. Kayla got a sparkly pink dress with no straps, Sam got a black satin dress, and Caroline got a bright red dress with straps. Laura got a deep blue dress the reached all the way to the floor. It had no straps either. All four girls were excited for the dance on Saturday and couldn't wait. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday passed quickly. The guys who were going to te dance, bought their black slacks, white shirts, and ties. Samantha, the girl in chemistry got asked by that guy named Colin. She said yes, and she seemed much happier. Chis on the other hand got all upset that Colin found a date already. It seemed as though Chris had a crush on Colin. [/i]

My brother is somewhat interested in video games, but that's it. My sister and mom won't watch it except when I am giving them a backrub. My dad teases me about my liking of manga and anime. They are the exact opposite of an otaku, far from it....heh...I am surviving though.

I think that the research is wrong. Like come on, are scientists trying to play god or something. I just don't think that it is a good idea. The idea of them taking cells from unborn babies really makes me upset. It also grosses me out too.

Halloween is just around the corner, and I just thought that I would bring this up. I read a couple of theories about why the people in Salem were out of their minds in English class today. One, erotic, a fungus that was found on the rye that can cause hallucinations. The rye was what they used to make bread. Two, the people were suffering from a mental illness. Those were the theories that I read, but another came up in class. The theory that my class came up with was that all of the accusers were acting. What do you guys think?

For me, that is a hard question to answer. I have read a widespread amount of manga. I own like 20 manga books. That's not even including my my big pile of Shonen Jump. It isa pretty hard choice, but I will have to go with these: [b]Love Hina[/b]- I like [i]Love Hina[/i] because it is very funny. It is very sweet and a good laugh. [b]Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances[/b]- I especially love this one because it is a good read. Also, I think that it is very romantic and loyal. I am a girl you know. [b]GTO[/b]- [i]GTO[/i] or [i]Great Teacher Onizuka[/i], is really hilarious. Though this is a bit more adult because of how [spoiler]perverted[/spoiler] Onizuka is. It is also very cool. [b]Chobits[/b]-My friend neoclone-7 that I know in real life got me into this manga. It is sad, yet funny (there's that word again...heh) and so very innocent. [b]Naruto[/b]- This is a pretty good manga. I started to read this when I got into buying Shonen Jump. It is amazing, funny, and a good read. Phew!! That is sure a lot of favorites, but what can I say, I love manga.

I thought that Sailor moon was a great anime, but my liking of it faded away just like Pokemon. When I first watched it, I was in Germany in a 4 star hotel room. I thought that it was pretty cool. When I finally moved back to the States, I watched Sailor moon a lot. It was on Toonami at the time. After seeing the same plot happen over and over every single day, I liked it less and less. I think that the plot is kind of good, like the main story line, but the same thing kept happening. I will still watch it occasionally, but not a lot. Also, I thought that the show was kind of boring because I don't really like anime that was meant for girls. I prefer other kinds. Let's just say that Sailor moon isn't one the top of my list.

I watched the first episode of it. My friend let me borrow it when I went over to his house last week. He gets Newtype magazine too. My friend told me that he thought it was confusing, but after I watched it, I thought it wasn't. I thought that it was very good. I really liked the song that played when that fancy watch was open. I would like to see more of it. I guess that I will have to wait awhile. I don't think my local entertainment store has it in stock. I think that it is just a very interesting anime.

I read the first two manga. I think that it is pretty good. It has a very interesting plot. I think that the plot is very well thought out. [spoiler]The plot about the twin girl, I forgot her name, on her 16th birthday, it was a bit shocking to see her family try and kill her like that.[/spoiler] Since I never really read any reviews beforehand. It doesn't really seem like a horror story to me yet. I would like to read more sometime. I recommend it.
