Japan

I think that the anime and the manga is ok. I borrowed the first volume of the manga from a friend and I think that it is interesting. I own 7 of the episodes of the anime. I just think that it is alright. I rate it like 6 out of 10.

haha!!!!! That banner is so funny. It made me laugh. I think that you did a great job Charles. Keep it up. I can't wait to see your next project. It was kind of slow though. AOL may be to blame, but what the heck. Some people may get offended, but I like it...

I have two favorite books. One of them is called, "Cloud of Sparrows," by Takashi Matsuoka, and the other is, "Shogun," by James Clavell. The reason why I like [i]Cloud of Sparrows[/i] is because it is a Japanese fictional historical novel about Samurai's, ninjas, and geishas. It is very entertaining and very informative. It is about a love story with a lord who can tell the future and a famous geisha. It is very great. The reason why I like [i]Shogun[/i] is because it is another Japanese fictional historical novel. It explains more of the culture of Japan. You learn a few Japanese words and phrases as well.

My parents used too have me under young teen in AOL, but I eventually hacked in the the controls and put it to mature teen....that was when I was younger. It wouldn't let me go to Yahoo or Hotmail. Nowadays, I use my parents screen name.

I saw Betrayal and Reflection from Samurai X. I thought that Betrayal was a bit on the bloody side. Reflection was sad. Though they are both really good. The series that is on Cartoon Network is very good too. I just like Kenshin all around.

I finally have a date. His name is Mike and I am excited for it. After Homecoming, we are planning to play his PS2 till 2 in the morning. It is going to be cool.

I don't really have a curfew. I don't go out much. If I did, whenever, as long as they knew the important details and I called if there was a change of plans.

Her first day of school wasn'tso bad. She got a few classes with her friends, Kayla, Samantha, Caroline, Josh, and James. They also had the same lunch. (Sam hated to be called Samantha so everyone called her Sam.) At lunch, Josh and James were playing Yu Gi Oh, and Caroline, Kayla, and Sam were talking about their boyfriends. Caroline was talking about her boyfriend, Adam, whom she met over the summer at band camp. Kayla and Sam weretalking about their dates with their boyfriends also. "So Laura, do you have a boyfriend?" asked Kayla. "No"... "Why not?" asked Caroline. "Well, I guess I didn't have any luck." "Ugh! You need to start looking? You need a date for the dance that is coming up in less than a week." "I know, I know!" Brring!!! The bell ending lunch rang. Everyone departed. James and Sam went to English. Kayla and Caroline went to math, and Josh and Laura to chemistry. Josh and Laura sat together along the back row, Josh to Laura's right and another cool, cute-looking guy to her left. The teacher, Mr. Collar, silenced the class. "Now students, I hope that chemistry will be a fun class for you all. When I call your name, please indicate your presence. Chris?" "Here!" A guy up towards the front with blond highlights said. "Samantha?" The girl next to Chris spoke up, "Here!" She was very cheery. "Colin?" "Here!" Chris turned around and stared at Colin. It took awhile for the attendance to finally come to the guy to Laura's left. "Charles?" The guy finally responded. Laura thought to herself, so that's what his name is. Cool. Laura spend the rest of the period watching every move that Charles made. Josh seemed to be ther only one to take notice. The rest of the school day went smoothly. Will and Laura drove home in his black Toyota Camry. "So how was your day?" he asked. "It was okay. Lunch was fun". "Heh!" I don't like my english teacher! She's a pain!" Laura sighed and opened the window. Will put in his Rob Zombie CD and they listened to that all the way back to their house. Nick walked home from school so he was already home. He was really hyper. You could tell because he was jumping up and down excitedly when Laura and Will arrived. "School was awesome!" "I'll bet it was," Will responded sarcastically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dinner was the usual. Will picked on Nick. Laura was quiet. Their parents talked about the news. Since Laura had no homework and it being California it was still hot outside so Laura jumped in the pool and did a few laps. All of the events of her first day ran through her head over and over. She checked her watch. It was 10:45 PM. She climbed out of the pool, her swimsuit dripping wet. Laura sat in the grass to dry off and brush her hair before heading in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day at lunch before Laura showed up, Josh told James, Samantha, Caroline, and Kayla about Laura's crush on Charles. So when Laura arrived, she was pounced upon with a flurry of questions. Josh and James were teasing her a bit, too. The lunch period was kind of annoying. To Laura's relief, the bell rang. Chemistry was next so she was looking forward to seeing Charles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The chemistry teacher put everyone in pairs. Charles and Laura ended up together. They were doing an experiment with wather and hot plates. Charles and Laura started to talk. They talked about their likes and dislikes. Charles really liked wrestling and video games. Laura liked video games as well. By the end of class, Laura was invited to go over to Charles' house after school. It was nice and big. It had a hot tub in the back and his house was just as nice inside. His little brother came up. "Hi! Hey Charles, who's the girl?" "Hey, Kyle," greeted Charles. "This is a friend of mine, Laura. Laura, this is my little brother, Kyle". "Hey there" said Laura gleefully. "Hi" said seven-year-old Kyle. "Are you my big brother's new girlfriend?" asked Kyle curiously. Both Laura and Charles started to blush. "No," said Charles. "Just a friend". Charles and Laura made their way upstairs to his bedroom. His room was tidy and spacious. He had a play station 2 with a few fighting andwrestling games. He had a pile of wrestling and video game magazines stacked neatly in one corner. An expensive stereo system sat on his dresser and a TV and VCR sat beneath the window. Charles dropped his bookbag on the floor near his closet. Laura followed suit and did the same. "So, what do you want to do?" asked Charles.; "I don't know. What do you want to do?" "Video games?" "Sure!" They played Tekken 4 unti 6. They were having so much fun. Laura ended up staying for dinner. They had pizza which was really good. It was seven when Laura needed to go home. Charles drove her. His car was a midnight blue Mitsubishi Eclipse. The car's interior was just as nice as its exterior. It was very comfortable. Then minutes later Laura arrived home. Laura had had a good time. She had now found another friend.

I am doing this in parts...so I will explain which OBer is who These are their actual names... Transtic Nerve-Chris Charles-Charles Neoclone-7- Colin Braidless Baka-Samantha "Sam" Otakusennen-Nick WW2- Will James-James Battosai-Josh KKC-Caroline Syk3-Greg Kittylynn-Kayla Tigergodess-Samantha Sara-Sara Queen Asuka-Tori Japan_86-Laura SSJBrolli-Kyle Kaola Su-Natalie Enjoy this first part [i] "Hey Laura, get up! You are going to be late!" yelled Will from the bottom of the stairs. Will was Laura's fertunal twin brother. He had brown hair and green eyes with glasses, while Laura had brown hair and eyes with no glasses. They were much alike in many ways. Laura said, "I'm awake, I'm awake!" Laura got up into a sitting position on her bed. Nick, Laura and Will's little 12 year old brother, walked in without knocking. "Mom told me to come tell you that breakfast is almost done," said Nick. "K, thanks," replied Laura as she stood up and walked over her messy closet. She got out a pair of baggy black pants, and a couple of shirts. "So are you excited for school?" "No, not really. The same old thing happens every year. No date for the Hello Week Couple Dance. I hate it. It is so boring. Junior year is going to be a living hell." "school is not like that at all! School is very fun. I am very excited for it." "Whatever," said Laura as she shoved Nickout the door. "You need to get out. I need to change." "K" Laura pushed Nick all the way out into the hallway and closed the door. Laura hurriedly put on the pants and shirts she found earlier. One of the shirts she picked out was a long sleeved white shirt. She put that on first. The other shirt, which was just a plain black t-shirt with System of a Down across the front over the white one. She brushed her long brown hair in front of the mirror. A tall slim 17 year old girl was staring back at her. She made her way downstairs and into the kitchen. Will and Nick were sitting on one side, her father at the end reading his newspaper and drinking his coffee from time to time, and her mother was cooking scrambled eggs over the stove. Will was giving Nick a noogie. Will was wearing baggy blue jeans and a Rurouni Kenshin t-shirt, and Nick, who had brown eyes and hair was wearing green shorts and an Evangelion t-shirt with the character Rei on it. "About time you joined us." said Laura's father as he looked up from his newpaper and sipped some coffee. "Please sit down." Laura sat down. Only Nick seemed to be happy about school starting that morning. Laura siliently ate her breakfast.[/i]

YAY!!!! I love the Lion King. It is my most favorite movie ever!! I memorized all the dialogue including the songs. I like how it has a darker side than all other Disney movies. Yeah, the part about Mufasa is very sad, but it is still good. After the soundtrack came out, I bought it. I still listen to it. It is starting to ware down from me listening to it about a billion times. I've seen the movie so many times, I think I lost count. I think about over 200 times. Anyways, I am so looking forward too it. Pumba is the best!

I am sorry that you feel that way craig8429. I am not trying to force anything on anyone, I was just merely expressing my views and my views are plain and simple. I believe that both Wicca and Witchcraft are bad, and that is my opinion. I am not trying to force you to believe anything.

I saw it, but I didn't think it was the best. It was funny in some parts, but a lot of the time, it was boring. The previews didn't really interest me. Though I went anyways for a birthday party. The plot was pretty good too. I also liked the part after the movie with actor's and actresses singing. That was kind of cool. Though this isn't a movie that I would go and actually buy when it comes out in video.

I played a few pen and paper RPG games. Rifts was fun, and so was D&D. What I am doing currently with my gang of friends is this RPG we made up in this one notebook. We all take turns writing in it. When we are done posting in it, we pass it to the next person. It's been going on for about a little over a week. The story is getting really interesting.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by GuardianStorm [/i] [B]Well, i believe Satan is still evil, bad, or whatever you wanna call it. And God must have created magic, otherwise Satan wouldnt be able to have it, not to mention that God probably uses magic. My dad isnt pagan, but he isnt Christian either. He's Budist(sp?). My BFFL is christian, and she doesnt care that Im a witch. niether do alot of ppl i know. [/B][/QUOTE] First off, God didn't create magic. It also says in the bible that all witchcraft is bad and to refrain from it. You can only have one god. Either you believe only in Jesus or you don't. There are no buts about it. Like with Drix D'Zanth said. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Drix D'Zanth[/i] Well, as much as you "belive" in Jesus, you don't follow him... you are basically breaking the first commandment. "I am The Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before Me." Exodus 20:2-3 [/QUOTE] You can believe only in one god, not several. Lucifer was an angel of God, until he thought he was better and God banished him. Lucifer became Satan. The reason why voted, "bad," because it is bad. No matter how you put it, it is bad. To be a true Chirstian, you have believe only in Jesus. Not both Jesus and magic. If you participate in witchcraft, or you are a wiccan, you are not a true christian. Sorry if I sounded mean and straight forward, but that how it goes. I hope that you guys will see that light someday.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shy [/i] [B][size=1]If it's just a few random people from the student government who participate then nobody really cares. -Shy[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] I am still a Junior in high school. I always thought that these spirit weeks were stupid and a waste of time. I never really participated in them much. This last spirit week, there was 60's day. 70's day, 80's day, Class colors' day. I didn't participate at all. Homecoming week is coming in two weeks. I don't quite remember what they were, but I just know that they are stupid. To finally go with Shy said. All the preps and the student government dress up. The punks and goths could care less. I try to avoid all preppy events like spirit cons and events. Now thanks to my 4th period class, I have to participate in those stupid student government meetings. The meetings are really stupid. The spirit cons are also messed up. They are very boring! Only the preps get fair representation. It is so loud in the gym it gives me a head ache. I am glad they give the choice to skip them because the spirit cons are annoying. I rather spend time with my friends in the cafeteria. In conclusion, the all spirit events, dress ups, cons, and a whole bunch of other stuff is stupid, a waste of time, and money.

You guys aren't really specifically saying a certain series, I guess I'll choose....my favorite pilot in Gundam is Shiro from Gundam 08th MS team. He is the leader of the 8th platoon. My favorite gundam is the Deathsythe from Gundam Wing.

You know the deal. Racers from the underground come with their fancy racing and custom built cars. They race eachother late at night on the street to find out who is best, while trying not to get caught by the cops. It is like in Fast and the Furious. Does anyone here enjoy the sport? How about participate?

I love them!!! I own like two of their cds. I heard about them when I listened to them on the radio in Germany. Their songs are nice to listen to and the lyrics are poetic.

Well, like I said in the same exact thread last time, oh there are a few more to add. I will not really explain why, for the list is long. If you are on the list, you know why. They changed me and made my life great in one little way or another.

Awesome! Love it! You are a very talented writer! You should never stop. It has a lot of detail and detail is good! I can wait for the next chapter.

The only problem with that flaw was that I didn't know that kitty's name was Kayla either. So the Kayla in the story and Kitty are not the same person. Kitty is too nice for that sort of thing....Kayla is a common name you know.

I love this Gundam series! I especially like the ending theme song. I like this series better than Wing. It is a very good series.I love the plot and the characters. I like how there is just one basic storyline and that's it. 08th MS Team is really good and I love it.

I didn't like it at all either. For one thing, the animation was horrible. It was too bright and shiny. I don't really like the computer animation.It has a good plot and storyline, but I think it makes all the other gundam series look bad.

I bought one of the mangas. I like it too since I am nuts about almost all the Gundam series. It was a bit confusing at first, only because I bought the 2nd book. >_< I really like it though. I was amazed that they thought up a side story as well. The plot is good.
