Xai

I live in southern Virginia in the Piedmont region. (USA) Nothing to do here. :P

I'm not really that big of a movie goer...but here are my three favorites. (no particular order) Kill Bill - *hearts* My favorite. Great fight scenes and soundtrack. Pirates of the Caribbean - Not generally a fan of pirate movies, but I loved PotC. The Matrix - The action scenes were just awesome. I love this movie, but I didn't really care for the sequels. :p

I opened up my presents last night. I don't get as much as I did when I was a little kid though. I got a scanner, a watch, pajamas, socks, lotion, body wash, and body spray, a sketch book, some drawing pencils, a journal, $170.00 and some other things. I don't know yet what I'm going to spend all the money on.

My clothing style is just a pair of flare-legged pants, any color (denim, khaki, black, white, etc.), and a T-shirt, usually a solid, dark or earthy color. I don't like my clothes to be too baggy or too tight. As long as it's comfortable I'll wear it. When it's cold I wear a black jacket with gray and black lines down the sleeves. I dress the same all year around.

I love to draw. I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil and still do to this day. I'm not perfect at it, but I'd like to think I'm pretty good with all the practice I've had. ^^; Well I don't just like drawing, I like just about any type of art. Gaming is fun for me too. I'll play anything as long as it's fun, but console RPGs are my favorite. I'm not as big of an anime fan as I used to be, although I still like it, but I'm just not obsessed anymore.

This is my character, Xaila.(which I based my nickname after) She doesn't really have a story or personality behind her, she's just some character I drew that I liked the design of. The color scheme for her hair and clothes isn't exactly as I imagined, but meh. Something bothers me about her face... The background was ugly so I tried to cover it up a bit, lol. I like that little pom-pom thing on the hilt of her sword, by the way. ^^; This is the first oekaki I drew that I actually put some effort into as far as coloring goes. It's still kind of sloppy. Maybe the next one'll be better in that respect though. Drawn with a mouse. Comments and/or criticism appreciated.

My school has a rather strict dresscode, but it's still pretty reasonable as far as I'm concerned. The girls can't wear midriff bearing shirts or spaghetti straps(Some people shouldn't even be wearing stuff like that anyway. O_o;)and shorts/skirts have to be six inches above the knees or lower. You also can't wear shirts that advertise alcohol, cigarettes, or other drugs, or that have any illicit messages on them. Theres more, but that's it basically. It doesn't really bother me much anyways, since I mainly just dress pretty plainly, but a lot of people I know complain about it.

The most embarrassing thing that's happened to me would have to be the time I went up to the stage at the wrong time at an awards assembly(first grade). I thought they had called my name, but they didn't. The teacher had to walk me back to my seat. -_-; I couldn't get it off my mind for a few days because of the embarrassment.

I started out with platformers, but then got obsessed with RPGs a few years ago, and I've been playing mostly those ever since. The only ones I actually dislike enough to mention are sports games.

Around here gas is usually about $1.85-$2.00, it's still quite a bit more than it was a few years ago. (I think it was about $1.20 then) It depends on where you buy it though.

[font=Tahoma][color=red]We got out at 12:15 today, even though there wasn't snow on the ground. :P Oh well, it'll probably do something later.[/color] [font=Tahoma][color=red]It snows quite often here though, I've been off several times so far this school year, one time for a week.[/color][/font] [font=Tahoma][color=red]I think the most snow I've ever seen here was when I was in the first grade and it snowed two feet. We were off for 2 weeks, but we had to make up for it.[/color][/font][/font]

[font=Tahoma]I've read volume one. Out of all the characters, Sakaki, Chiyo-Chan, and Osaka are my favorites. It Isn't really something you'd really expect me to be reading, but I enjoyed it and would like to see the anime. ^^ [/font]

[color=gray]Level 16-18 is good for this battle. I used Shion, KOS-MOS, and chaos. It's a good idea to transfer healing ethers to other characters just in case you need an extra healer. I suggest that you don't use your A.G.W.S, they are a little too slow for fighting it. Try to stay high in HP. Shion's Medica All works well for healing everybody at once. When you need to, use an Ether Pack S to replenish lost EP. Take out the two Oudogougues first(they both have 1000 HP), because they can heal him and they use an ether attack called Hell's Flash each time that damages the entire party. Use close range attacks(KOS-MOS' R-DRILL works nicely) to beat them. Each time you beat an Oudogouge, Gargoyle/Cherenkov will power up. When the Oudogouges are gone, the battle will be much simpler, even though Gargoyle is fully powered now. He has a strong physical attack called Obsidian Claw and another called Hell's Lance. If you get the status effect Physical Def. Down, get rid of it as soon as possible! You'll recieve much more damage while in this status if you get hit(there's a good chance you'll die, too). Remember to heal and/or revive when needed also. chaos' Heaven's Wrath and KOS-MOS' R-DRILL are useful in fighting him. Shion is best for healing/curing status effects. (sorry if there's anything I missed, I haven't played in a while)[/color] [color=red][size=1]Whoever moved this, Xenosaga is not a Square Enix title. It was done by Namco and Monolith -- Semjaza[/size][/color]

[color=silver]I love anime eyes. ^^ They're so expressive. One of the reasons I like anime so much is because of its style(The eyes, oddly colored hair, and whatnot..)[/color]

[color=silver]I thought it was kind of cheesy at first(Yuna.. a pop singer?) but I grew to like the game. I just beat the game last night. I didn't do many sidequests/sidemissions this time around, so I only completed with 40-something percent. I'm going to start another game and try to get 100% this time.[/color]
