[color=darkviolet]The closest I ever came to experimentation is when I kissed a friend of mine in Wal*Mart because we were bored. As far as I know I'm still straight. Experimentation is just what it sounds like, you're trying to figure out what works for you you aren't officially whatever label you're going to use on yourself until you decide on dating guys, girls or both esclusively. So in my opinion, sleeping with one girl or two then staying strictly guys only doesn't suddenly make you a lesbian in denial or a bisexual. Hell, I have an over active libido too-which is a real you know what because my guy's over seas. But I'm not going to go there too extensively. Nobody really wants to know about another person's sex life...unless you're a celebratey. [/color]

[quote name='Wasabi] [b][color=darkslateblue][size=1]EDIT:[/b] Ack, found out the [b]first InuYasha movie is coming out this September on DVD in the US, and I think VHS too.[/b] Don't see why not. Making me mom buy it, that's for sure. :)[/color'][/size][/quote] [color=darkviolet]That's odd, I thought I read in Animerica (maybe it was Animerica Extra) that ViZ was releasing the movie in the US into theaters for the summer. Actually I know I read it while I was wide awake even. And I wasn't having a Jessica Simpson moment! Either way, I get to see the movie without the really choppy subtitles like I have on a copy I downloaded from Imesh last year. Fan subs are nice, but I think that sometimes getting the real thing, though more expensive is better.[/color]

[quote name='Harry']I'd have to agree with Mitch on this subject. I'm no expert like him since I don't watch too much Dr. Phil, but if you play your cards right you can go out with all of your guy friends. It's a bonus if you're a Junior in High school because you can do all of them, and then go on to college with a clean slate.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]I think she should also consider the lessons from Jerry Springer guests. It' s really not fair to only go by Oprah and Dr. Phil. Jerry is pretty informative as well, don't you agree?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Everyone's had a few of each. Admit it. Especialy the bad dates. You know, the ones so bad that you'd rather be at home trying to gouge your eyes out with a rusty nail. So you may as well talk about it, right? The way I see it is you may as well get the worst out of the way in order to get to the best so here's my worst: I already mentioned that before I started seeing (can't honestly call it dating because if the army) husband he tried to hook me up with his best friend. This was one failed experiment I wish I had never taken part in. I had talked with the guy on the phone twice, so it wasn't a completely blind date. He seemed nice enough. So on a Friday night Lincoln, Justin, (the guy I was supposed to be out with) Becky (my best friend, I was actually trying to see if I could get her back with Lincoln which is another long story) me, and another one of Justin's friends. We went and played pool and I pretty much became the fifth wheel on my own blind date. I wasn't completely alone because Becky had already decided that she'd rather just be friends with Lincoln and Lincoln kept asking my what I thought of his friend. I was thinking that he was somewhat insecure if he had to bring along another guy. At the end of the night I went to give Justin a hug and banged my head on the door. I later found out that Justin had found me annoying. How the hell would he know? He was too busy with his friends to actually find out anything about me. I think that one should win me some kind of award. Either for not killing my blind date or not killing my now husband. My best date: This one's pretty short and maybe a bit boring. It was the first time Lincoln came over my house after we decided that we were going to be boyfriend and girlfriend. He beat me in Battle Ship, I beat him in Balderdash. We came to a draw in Monopoly watched Toonami (this was back in 2000 when Cartoon Network had Gundam Wing, SailorMoon and Tenchi Muyo) and then he ate dinner over my place. I also found out that he was a very good kisser and still easy to be around after we decided to take our relationship to a different level. I even found out that he wasn't easily freaked out by people coming up and rubbing his head when tehy first meet him, which is what my mom did to him. :faint: All and all, that was a pretty good date. So, now I'm eagerly awaiting more stories. Maybe I'll share some more mishaps of my own[/color]

[color=darkviolet] There can be some reasoning to starting a relationship with someone before you actually get to know them, look at arranged marriages. Especially those ones between the upper classes and nobility where the bride and groom were merely pawns to gain land or alliances with other countries. Those worked out well enough. Sometimes the couple did learn to love eachother. Other times they stayed together because divorce was not allowed by the church (with some rather infamous exceptions) and the unhappy spouses would get a few mistresses or arrange to have the person killed (Catherine the great of Russia) Actually I have read of cases where an arranged marriage has worked in these 'modern' times. Infact in some cultures dating is discouraged or not allowed in the first place so couples never meet until they get married. Not my way of doing things, but I guess it could work. As long as dowry isn't a deciding factor. Maybe I would just rather get to know a person prior to getting into a serious relationship is based on a personal bias. I had two failed blind dates, one was set up by my now husband with his best friend, who strictly dates younger women than himself. I could go on about that one for a few hours. And a few crappy relationships with guys I just knew vaguely.Where as getting to know someone lead to a slightly better relationship in most cases and I ended up married to the guy I was really good friends with-even though he set me up on a very awkward blind date. I guess someone could say that him being with me is some kind of divine punishment for that blind date. Maybe it is.[/color] :laugh:

[quote name='DeathBug][color=indigo][font=comic sans ms]^___^ Touche`. Apparently, i've been having a Jessica simpson momewnt for the past seven months. Or maybe it's a Homer Simpson moment? Both titles work...[/color'][/font][/quote] [color=darkviolet]That's okay, but you should atleast send her a birthday card every year. Don't worry about child support since I convinced my husband it's his. Actually I don't even remember sleeping with you...so maybe that's another Jessica Simpson moment.[/color]

[QUOTE=Gelgoog Pilot]Of course my dad and his brother hate each other with a passion. (Ahhh getting off topic) All in all I think its rather funny...I mean the similarities with my family. Yeah I don't know what my own grandparents would say about me quitting the religion.[/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]I'm beginning to think that you and I were related in a past life since there are way too many simularities. My dad and my brother have been at eachother's throats since my brother was legally theirs. They can't really stand to be under the same roof together, and back in February my dad actually jeopardized my brother's ability to get this one job by calling the guy and telling him how John (my brother) had a suspended liscence adn a few tickets and moving violations. My mom was so pissed she was going to move out on him. And now John's looking for an apartment (that will take dogs) with one of his friends and my dad is now ticked because of that. My brother doesn't even acknowledge my dad's side of the family. He says they don't exist and he hates them. This is all thanks to my grandma and an incident that happened last year. My dad won't ever say anything to get her to stop saying things about anyone or tell her to mind her own business even though she would listen to him (he's her first son so automatically her favorite although she tends to say [i]he's[/i] an alcoholic when all he does is have like a few beers a day or some wine) Back between the end of 2003 and the beginning of this year when my parents were really not getting along my dad went to my grandma for 'advice' and since she can't keep her fingers out of everyone elses business she actually told him to say something about how it was 'God's' house instead of his house because of some earlier incidents when he was yelling about it being his house. Well, he said that to my mom during a failed family 'discussion' and my mom said ' Well, if it's 'God's' house maybe He should start paying the bills and the mortgage! :laugh: Needless to say, that was a failed arguement and my mom said that she doesn't want his mom interfering. Sometimes I think living in my parents' house is the best way to get a stress headache[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Are you guys ready for this? Yesturday she called me up and said that she wanted to try and have lunch with me this week. Right. A meal with her is like the friggin' Spanish Inquisition. I know if I ended up going by myself with her not only would I be tempted to eat a large cheeseburger (she's a Vegan) but I'd be bombarded with questions that she'd start to think up to make digetstion near impossible. My favorite would probably be about why I don't follow Catholicism anymore, I guess I could tell her that I am since her religion has been borrowing from my religion for the past 2,000 years. Then I could ask her when she's going to convert. I did tell her I really had nothing planned (stupid stupid stupid!) but my mom thinks she's up to something. I think I should bring along a friend if she calls up later in the week or just do like my mom says and say something came up. Does anyone else have other suggestions?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I don't think that suddenly changing your sexual preference is going to help matters. I'm probably saying that because I know a few gay men who can be even worse than me when it comes to drama productions and fits of slight jealous rage. Of course, the only gay woman I know of is very level headed and I do know a bisexual woman who's pretty down to earth...until you give her a few beers. ( Of course, I think she was just joking, sarcasm as we know doesn't carry too well over messageboards) I still say you should lose your boyfriend if he keeps becoming prone to these fits of stupidity (a.k.a. Jealousy) I mean, your fourteen not twenty-four it's not like you're actually looking to settle down and have started to look at apartments together. Friends are always more imortant than a boyfriend or girlfriend, especially when that said boyfriends or girlfriends are partaking in traits that are making them less than desirable companions whether it's binge drinking, doing drugs or becoming jealous when the person doesn't need to be. That's pretty much all I have to add to this subject. Thanks for listening[/color]

[quote name='k9-Girl']True True, that's what everyone woman wants, proof that we're desired as an individual and not just as an interchangeable member of the oposite sex. But humans are fickle things and looks are indeed important, it's only natural, not that appearance can't be made secondary to personality (as lord knows we girls make tons of compromises in the appearance and personality of our boys), but still, knowing he is the real deal, there are few girls who wouldn't want to be found physically attractive by their boy.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]So is it, in your opinion, impossible to get to be in a relationship with someone if you don't find them physically attractive? True, when people see eachother for the first time they usually go by appearance (hell, I know I thought my husband looked good the first time I saw him I'm not going to lie) but to have an actual relationship there has to be more to a person than just looks. For example there are quite a few guys I know who looked pretty hot when I knew them in high school and college, but they were, rude, nasty superficial and couldn't hold a conversation with a houseplant, let alone someone of their own species with a 3.0 GPA. THen I had a few guy friends who I could carry on intelligent conversations with, but other than that weren't my type. Yes, I thought that some of them were good looking, but I could never think of managing anything more than a friendly hug. I don't make compromises for a person I'm in a relationship with whethere than relationship is platonic or romantic. I don't even understand how peopel do that-especially otherwise intelligent women who could do much better on their own. I don't mind the fact that no matter what I look like my husband still thinks I'm sexy (even if at times I'm convinced that it's only because he spends so much time away from me. But I also like the fact that he knows he can trust me to do more with myself than sit around and make him look intelligent all day. But still I think that the best way to get into a relationship with someone is to get to know them first as a person. Because looks are nice, but they tend to fade over time (unless you happen to know a good plastic surgeon) and the whole appeal of a new relationship tends to wear off if you have nothing in common with someone other than the fact that you can both turn O2 into CO2.[/color]

[quote name='DeathBug][color=indigo][font=comic sans ms] Chibi is pregnant? And I didn't know?[/color'][/font][/quote] [color=darkviolet] :flaming: Death Bug! How could you not know...you're the father! :flaming: I couldn't help myself. :laugh: I think one of the worst times I had a moment other than Saturday was back in high school during one of the 'Jeopardy' games my U.S. History class to study for a unit exam. The teacher asked a question about the Industrial Revolution and I raised my hadn to answer for the team and then I completely forgot what I was going to say so we lost points for the question. I hate when it happens though because I just get so emberassed. It's kind of annoying as well, you're going along having a conversation or getting ready to ask someoen something then all the sudden your mind goes blank and you just stand there like a jackass in the rain.

[quote name='natetron46']I hadnt heard of a September ending, but it is possible. What time is it on Saturday, I really like this and dont have time to watch it much during the week. I really wish it would come to adult swin! That it my one stop shop for almost all animes, and I think they would get even more people to watch if they added IY.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]I don't know if you've looked at this thread yet [url]http://otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=18186&page=34&pp=15[/url], but it has the Adult Swim Line ups InuYasha is being shown 1st-3rd season Monday through THursay nights (of course, since on the east coast InuYasha airs at 12:30 technically it's Tuesday-Friday mornings) and the 3rd and fourth season is being shown on Saturday at 12:00AM/11:00PM Cen. (of course that's Sunday morning on the east coast) So to answer your complaint, Adult Swim/ Cartoon network does air InuYasha. They just don't do it until late at night.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I'm a bit obsessed with the deaths in SailorMoon because they're either extremely stupid and avoidable or very sweet and meaningful, even when you know they'll be brought back to life at the end of the season. One of my favorite male anime deaths was in R Season involving Saffiru and Wiseman. [spoiler]Saffiru had figured out that Wiseman was using his brother, Dimando and was going to kill him. So, he took the disc that was controling the black crystal and went to earth to try and get help. When he got there he ran into the Ayakashi sisters who had been 'healed' earlier in the show by SailorMoon. Turns out that somewhere and sometime which was never actually revealed Saffiru and Petz (I think she was one of the middle sisters) actually had a bit of a relationship...anyways Saffiru tells the sisters that he has to try and save Dimando from Wiseman, never mind the fact that Wiseman already messed him up a bit earlier before he came to earth and he's all bandaged up. Petz tries to stop him, but Saffiru won't listen to her and leaves anyway. But he leaves his jacket with her saying he'll "Be back to get it" Long story short, the Ayakashi sisters get ahold of SailorMoon and company. Saffiru tries to get a hold of Dimando and warn him about Wiseman, but Wiseman attacks Saffiru before he can warn Dimando completely. Saffiru dies in his brother's arms and Dimando is pretty pissed at Wiseman. However, when Saffiru dies the bandage around his head slips a bit and you can see that the upsidedown black crescent moon has dissapered from his forehead. [/spoiler] I think the most moving part of this death was right when Saffiru died he muttered Petz's name and the hook his jacket was on back at her apartment fell from the wall. That was very symbolic.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]This is just basically a thread to discuss books that you have read what you thought of them and if you'd reccomend them to other members. If you want to include books that you want to read, go ahead. Maybe someone else here read it and can tell you if they enjoyed it or not. As for myself: [b]A Treasury of Royal Scandals{/b] This book is very informative and funny. The subject covers everything from affairs of royalty (including a very unflattering account of Wallis Warfield Simpson) to some really strange stuff about family relations. The author also included a section on Popes and a section on a few Roman Emporers. I thought that the section on Roman emporers was a bit nasty, but the section on popes was quite...interesting. This is, in my opinion, a definate must read if you enjoy history. [b]In my Hands.[/b] This is about a Polish woman who lived through the Nazi occupation of Poland and actually managed to hide some Jewish people right under the nose of a Nazi general. After a while the guy (who I'm guessing is about in his 60's) finds out and the woman ends up becoming his mistress so he won't tell. This is a true story. Very exciting. A few other things have happened to this woman as well. (Rape when the Russians first occupied Poland and then an attempted rape while she was prisoner. So, I wouldn't recommend it to people who are easily freaked out. but again it's another good read. Especially if you're interested in WW2 or history in general. I've read a few more than this, but I don't really feel like discussing them right now. I'll add on later. My fingers are beginning to cramp up.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I started using this phrase yesturday when I went to go talk to the guy at the cell phone store about getting a cell phone and the plans they had availble when suddenly my brain went on a brief hiatus and I couldn't remember what I was going to ask. Lucky for me two things were in my favor: 1.) my mom was with me to fill in my blank mind and 2.) I now look 7 months pregnant so I can also call what I suffered a pregnant moment. But I like 'having a Jessica Simpson moment' better because she just seems so much dumber than an average pregnant woman in her third tri-mester. However, that's not the point of this thread. The point of this thread is to ask if you've ever had one of those moments where your brain simply ceases to function for brief periods of time and it caused some slight emberassment. Come on share...you're among those people who you feel you can tell things to...I think it starts with an 'f'.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Okay, first dumb question, how old are you? Second dumb question, what kind of jealousy is he showing? If it's just some normal type of jealousy, you know, like you're jealous of your friend because she goes on more vacations than you do, well you could always hope he'll grow out of it. Or kindly tell him that if he doesn't get over himself you'll leave him. But if it's getting to the point where he makes you choose between him or your friends or he gets really nasty when you try to spend time with your friends then I'd leave him now. Nobody needs that kind of aggrivatioon. That's all I can really offer on advice for this subject, I hope it may have helped a bit.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Later in the week a news program is going to have this as one of their subjects, but I figured I'd beat them to it by bringing up the topic now. If the option was made avaible to you would you choose the sex of your baby? I'm not sure how to put this topic I know that if it was offered to me, I really wouldn't want to pick if I had a boy or a girl. Because after that, what's next being able to pick out genetic traits? The last person who tried that ended up starting the lovely dissagreement that historians like to call World War two. But what about the rest of you? Do you think it's ethical to decide what you're going to have? Would you really want to? I lok forward to your comments[/color]

[color=darkviolet]When all you really need to have fun is a cat or a dog and a laser pointer then you know you are [i]too[/i] easily amused. But hey, admit it, you know it's funny to watch an animal try to capture a red dot of light. And if you don't believe me, buy a laser pen and shine it on the ground, then watch your pet go after it. Trust me, you'll have fun. [b]Other ways to prove how easily amused you are:[/b] When you sit in the driver's seat of your car and move it back and forth and up and down.This is even more fun when you have an automatic seat like the one I have in my car. You go to the card aisle in either a grocery store or some place like Wal*mart or Target just to read the cards and laugh at the funny ones. You don't need to buy anyone a card, you just want to amuse yourself. You've ever had duels with roles of wrapping paper You've ever gone to Wal*Mart and tried to race the battery powered shopping carts. This works best when you go around 1 in the morning. You go back and read old posts on message boards You read old conversations you had on instant messenger.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Here's a crazy idea that just might work...try talking to her! That's usually how most relationships start out, by someone starting a conversation to find out if they have anything in common with another person besides the standard hobby of covnerting O2 into CO2. You got to admit it would be pretty awkward for you if someone who never says a word to you suddenly comes up and says, do you want to go out with me. All you really have to do is get over your shyness and talk to the girl. If that doesn't work you can always take a public speaking course and get over your fear of talking to people that way.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]What about people who walk in the middle of the parking lot? You know, right in the middle of the aisle, and you can't drive around them with out playing 'Bowling for Pedestrians', so you honk your horn, and all you get is a dirty look from the people. So you wish you [i]could[/i] play 'Bowling for pedestrians' with out getting your liscence revoked. I really hate those people. The drivers who get in your lane during a left hand turn and you really have no where to go so you honk your horn and the person gives you the finger like it's your fault that when they turn they can't stay in their lane. [b]People who tell you how to raise your kids[/b]-This is even better when the person doesn't have kids. Or is an even worse parent than you seem to be. For the love of all things sacred, my child rearing skills aren't killing you-even if I wish they were-so shut up. Besides, if you don't even have kids, you don't know what the **** you're talking about in the first place! [b]People who think that same sex marriage is going to somehow hurt 'traditional' marriage[/b]- Get a grip okay? Yesturday in my local newspaper it was announced that two men had made their marriage vows (NYS law defines marriage as a union between two people in love, so even though my state hasn't gone one way or the other with gay marriage what they did isn't illegal) and so far nobody's man and woman marriage has suffered directly from it. And they aren't even being held responsible for the state legislation having a late budget for the 20th year in a row. So stick that up your nose! [b]People who make lawsuits against fast food chains because they're over weight[/b]-Just because your butt was too lazy to cook a real dinner or walk a block a day doesn't mean that suddenly it's someone else's fault that your rear is the size of cleveland. I think the govenor of Illinois had the right idea when he banned all lawsuits against fast food chains. Why don't you think upo a real law suit? Or climb on a treadmill. Or do what we used to do and blame your mother for your weight problems. [b]People who throw words around like: sold out, poser and wannabe[/b] No real reason, it just annoys me after a while.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I'm not exactly an expert on this because I've never been in a situation such as this. But maybe you should try and give your family some time to get used to the idea of you being gay sinc eit's probably a bit of a shock for them As for your mom saying that you let her down. Well, hopefully she'll get over it since it's not like it was your goal in life to become gay and ostricize your entire family. If not well, you do have the fact that you're not trying to please anyone but yourself and in the end that's really all that matters in these situations. And your older brother...well, I just hope none of my single friends ( I think I have one or two of those left) stay far away from him. I don't know if that helps or not, but I just wanted to try.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Can we tell about past camp experiances? Because I have some good ones, that involve getting into fights with the other kids. Oh and I haven't been to summer camp since i was like ten. I went to daycamp out in Brighton which is a pricy suburb East of my town. I think this was the year i was nine, so my brother would be six. And I heard some kid making fun of my brother. So I walked up to him and said, So, are you talking about John? (my brother). The kid's like yeah, he';s such a retard. I'm like No, he's not. but he is my brother. Then I punched him and a camp concilor sent a note home about my disorderly conduct. That was the same year my brother would only wear pants and one of the camp concelor's made a big deal about it. I could never figure out those things.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]The funniest commercial I've seen recently is the new Master card commercial with Homer Simpson. It goes like this: [b]Voice over[/b]: Milk, diapers, and eggs. $25.00 [b]Homer[/b]: *with a box of doughnuts and some beer* Oh and what he said. [b]V O[/b]: Oil change, $50.00 [b]Mechanic[/b]: *Opens up oil thing and bees come out and attack Homer's doughnut causeing Homer to run away* [b]Homer[/b]: Ahh, Bees! *runs away* [b]V O [/b]: Haircut, $75.00 [b]Homer[/b]: $75.00?! [b]V O[/b]: Being able to get all your errands done so you can spend time with your family... [b]Homer[/b]: *sitting in Moe's waiting for a beer. * [b] V O[/b]: Ahem...Being able to get all your errands done so you can spend time with your family. [b]Homer[/b]: I heard you *gruimbling* Stupid voice over. *gets up, walks out teh door and the door smacks this guy in the face.* [b]V O[/b]: For everything else there's Master card. I thought that it was a very funny commercial. Maybe it's because I'm easily amused or maybe it's because of the bees coming from the car. I don't know. :huh: [/color]

[quote name='DuoMaxwell1423'] I don't do stuff like that anymore, I just jump off random roofs and try to fly or accidently set my-self on fire...long story...[/quote] [color=darkviolet]Which is [i]so[/i] much less dangerous than playing around in the middle of a thunderstorm with a lightning rod. :rolleyes: My brother and my husband do risky stuff like that. My brother jumps off bridges El knows how many feet above the Erie canal with his friends. Or they jump off the levees on the Bardge canal neither of which is very safe. My husband joined the Army and plays around in a giant sandbox known as Iraq. So while I can't identify with you I do know people just like you.[/color]

[QUOTE=Siren] The "young couple with child" point doesn't fly, and here's why. My question regarding that is, Does the child even closely resemble an older teenager who may pass for 21? Unless the child has medical issues, I highly doubt it.[/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Actually, the young couiple with a child point is valid since as part of the news story about this restuarant was about a couple with an 8 year old who were turned away. Never mind the fact that while an 8 year old may know what a fake I.D. is she won't be able to pass herself off as 21. Her parents probably wouldn't let her imbibe anything stronger than coca cola. But still.... They do have a carry-out service for people who are under 25 and want to try their BBQ (which is basically what the place is known for.) So they won't lose business that way. Also this 25 and under ban is helping other restuarants surrounding the area since when people are turned away they'll be told about other places who aren't age restrictive. So even if they do lose business others will profit from it. I just think it's kind of funny in a way because I can't go into The Village Pig (the Restuarant) because I'm 23 and not 25 and my friend wouldn't be able to go there with her boyfriend since she's only 24. Still, it's a privately owned business, and even though it is age discrimination nobody can do anything about it. Unless the owners actually do start to lose business because of this policy nothing's going to change. Still, it is nice to rant a bit, right?[/color]
