[color=darkviolet]I've never done anything too crazy involving weather. Well, unles syou could all the times I stood outside my apartment in Texas and just looked up at the thunderstorms we were having. Then there's the whole fun time with the Full Moon ritual. I swear I am [b][i][u][size=3]NEVER[/size][/u][/i][/b] calling west/water again! Some guy ended up going to Darnell for hypothermia. We actually tried to finish the actual ceremony. It was really funny in a way because one of the songs we sang was 'We all come from the Goddess and part of the song goes: 'Like a drop of rain...flowing to the ocean.' :laugh: I've driven through the remanents of a hurricane when I was moving to Texas from New York. And of course I've driven in White out conditions, I [i]am[/i] from New York. Of course, the most fun driving conditions were when Killeen Texas had this 'ice storm' and everyone was driving like their steering wheels were chew toys. They closed Ft.Hood for three days, which made my husband happy and Wal*mart was open, so we did our grocery shopping. We also had to rent out our ice scraper since nobody owned one in our apartment complex.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I'd probably be okay by myself until I ran out of things to talk to myself about. And then all the animals left and I'd have no living thing to talk to. I couldn't handle being in isolation, I like to talk too much. Even if there aren't any actual people top talk to I'd go on a message board and type things. Like Sensei said, It'd suck![/color]

[color=darkviolet]You could always get a bunch of those sticky papers to catch flies, that's what we use in the stables. Or you could get yourself a bug zapper. Then after you get the bug zapper you get yourself a 24 pack of beer and sit back and watch the fun. It's actually quite enjoyble even if you're not a redneck. Better yet, get a bunch of spiders to begin spinning webs in your house. The flies will inevitably become stuck in the webs. Of course, then you'll have an ungodly amount of spider webs and dead fly carcasses, but on teh bright side your famiily won't have to decorate much for Halloween :laugh: [/color]

[color=darkviolet]I don't know, getting shot at isn't exactly one of my favorite past times, which could be why I never joined the military and I didn't become a drug dealer. That however is [i]not[/i] the topic of this discussion so I guess i actually have to answer the question. I guess I'd have to say my husband, but only to return a favor since he's over in Iraq right now putting himself at risk...when he's not downloading music for his MP3 player or anime from one of his friends. I figure that if he'd be willing to take a bullet for me or perhaps end up dying for me for who knows what reason I could do the same for him. Of course, I want to avoid situations like that completely which is why I don't go to visit my mother-in-law, don't drive around too much with my brother and don't go hunting.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Ususally there are age restrictions on things like movies and video games which are meant to 'protect' children and give parents some guidelines of what they may or may not feel appropriate for their children to watch. But what if the age restriction was on a place where people go to eat? I heard about this last night on the local news. There's this resturaunt that decided to put an age restriction on the diners who may want to go there. What's the age that you're allowed to eat there? Twenty-five. The owners said it was because they wanted a more adult atomosphere, which in a way I can understand because sometimes kids can get noisy, but why 25? Why not 21? The owners said it was to avoid under age drinking at the bar and that's why not 21. But in the state of New York as well as most of the United States the drinking age [i]is[/i] 21 so why would someone be worried about underage driniking if you could prove that you're 21? I'm kind of agrivated about this, but nobody can actualy do anything to make the resturaunt owners change their policy becaus ethey had clearly stated it in yesturday's paper that they would now only serve 25 and older. But still this is a typoe of age discrimination. Now my question is what do you think about this? re there any places in your area that are restricted by age? And if so, does this discourage you from eatting there when you reach the required age? Or if some place (and not an adult video store, let's try and use a bit of common sense) suddenly decided to have such a policy, what would your reaction be?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I notice that nobody has mentioned Lina Inverse from the Slayers. She's a little bit of column A and a little bit of Column B. I like how Lina is a pretty powerful Sourceress and looks nothing like most of her female anime counterparts (ie the large breasts on many other anime women.) Which of course led to a few jokes throughout the series. She's also very determined to get what she wants no matter what stands in her way. Just look at the first episode of the first season where she blasts all those bandits just to get her treasure. (or listen to the opening lines in Try Again (or whatever the name of the first opening song is) Okay, so she's a bit .... okay very greedy. And she can be slightly obnoxious like when she taunts people and enemies. But she's a force to reckon with that's for sure.[/color]

[quote name='`hEvN][COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]I'm gonna have to see The Prince and Me though. I like Cinderella themes. ^_^x[/B][/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote] [color=darkviolet]That was a really good movie. Julia styles actually played a completely different role in the Prince and Me than she did in Mona Lisa Smile. Wait until you hear the guy's first words to her character, you'll die. Another good teen movie was Footloose with Kevin Bacon. Yeah it's definately dated, but I think most of the good teen movies took place in the 80's. My biggest question on that one though is...at the end when everyone started to dance how is it that everyone was so coordinated? But the fight scene in the bar made up for the strangeness in the ending. And sorry, but the Olsen twins haven't taken pity on anyone yet by finishing their movie career. New York Minute is out and staring them. Personally I think they should have stopped after it takes two and they were still cute. Still mentioning three movies hasn't killed anyone yet.[/color]

[quote name='KiraraDOWN[COLOR=DarkRed']Is anyone else reminded of that "Cotton Eyed Joe" song?[/COLOR][/quote] [color=darkviolet]I think that would be, [i]Where did you come from, where did you go?[/i] Ugh, that has got to be one of the most annoying songs in history and the video was stupid too. So, what do you do anyway?[/color]

[color=darkviolet] And why I don't know how well this is going to go over since so many people have an aversion to watching or admitting to watching teen movies. Not me, I don't mind admitting that I like to watch mindless stupidity. It takes my mind off the real world. Well anyway here are my three favorite Teen Movies and bear with me because I can't remember who was in them: 1.) [b]Mean Girls[/b]: This was a very good portrayal of high school girls and cliques. I liked all the little add ins while the main character was thinking. [spoiler]Like when they were in the cafeteria and she was picturing how the animals fought eachother in the jungle and threw herself at that other girl[/spoiler] Also the part near the end when they were doing that trust activity. 2.) [b]10 things I Hate About You[/b] 1999 seemed like the prime year for high school movies and this was probably one of my favorites from that year. I'm not sure if this is true, but I think it was somewhat based on Shakesphere's The Taming of the Shrew. One of the best parts was when the father made the girls put on the pregnancy suits before they went to the party. 3.) [b]Never Been Kissed[/b] Pretty much the only movie on the list where I can remember who played the main chracter (Drew Barrymore) It was cute and kind of freaky. Especially since she was in her 30's and tricked everyone into thinking she was a teenager. Well, there are my three. Anyone else brave enough to admit that they watch teen movies?[/color]

[quote name='Shiro_Ryuu']Dumbest: All the villians from Sailor Moon[/quote] [color=darkviolet]Actually I could name a few SailorMoon Villains who weren't dumb at all. [b]Sailor Galaxia[/b]- Okay she became evil after seeling Choas, but she was a pretty good villain. [spoiler]She awoke Nehalania after Super SailorMoon had seeled her in a mirror (anime only)and got her to do a bit of dirty work. Then she had those animates to do her bidding. She stole Mamoru's starseed so he wasn't really in the last season (thank you!) She even managed to kill off the senshi inner and outer.[/spoiler] So there's one SailorMoon Villain who definately wasn't an idiot. Another very respectable villain from SailorMoonR is Safiru of the Black Moon Clan. He actually risked death to warn his brother about what Wise Man was up to. Okay, not exactly evil, but it showed loyalty, which still makes a very decent villain. More later I have to go eat dinner.[/color]

[QUOTE=Balmon]If THAT'S the state of thing in New Jersey... America's got a lotta' work to do. What kind of inane law is that? Phil[/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet] I think They're called blue laws, most times the cops don't enforce them, but I guess New Jersey is an exception. New York and Texas have some really good laws. My favoirte NEw York law is that if someone breaks into your house and they break something you can shoot them. Texas has two that probably originate from when they were all wild and western. For example they have this one law on the books that says that if you're caught on the street with a pair of wire cutters you can be arrested for cattle rustling. The other one is that if you suspect that someone is cheating at cards you can shoot them. My husband and I liked that one because of this roommate we had. Lincoln wanted to try and get rid of him by asking the guy to play bull **** then saying he was cheating and shoot him. If the cops tried to arrest my husband he could just say that it's on the Texas law books. I forgot what state it was, but there's a law there that says you can't tie your alligator up to a lightpost when you go shopping. One of my friends wanted to try that one out by tying a stuffed alligator to a lampost. I guess another thing you could say I do is see if I'd be any good in Jeopardy by picking up misclanious pieces of useless information.[/color]

[quote name='::Ex-Soldier::']I went to church once. It wasn't all that fun, not that I want water slides in it or anything. :rolleyes:[/quote] [color=darkviolet]My husband and I went to Christmas Mass at my parent's church this past Christmas just to be nice to my mom and my husband ended up falling asleep and then he began to snore. I actually used to bring manga to church and read that during those sermons. So I know people who can sympathize with you on how church is boring. I think the reason that Christian Churches are dwindling is because they're so stuck in their ways and not willing to adjust to change. The Catholic church is one of the worst. The last Vatican council they had was in the 1960's to figure out if women still had to wear hats in church. And the pope is still against birth control and abortion. Ookay. Maybe it's just me, but don't you think that if more people were on birth control there would be less abortions? The problem I have with the Judeo Chirstian faith is that you're supposed to love your neighbor, (many followers do. My mom is an excellent example of a good Christian) but you have so many people out there griping about how homosexuals are the downfall of society and trying to make them strait again. I think it's the same as in any other religion. The people who are extremists ruin it for the rest of the practicioners. I forgot to add one little thing... Religious persecution in all forms is just a fact of everyday life. So suck it up and deal[/color]

[QUOTE=Owari Nai Yume][FONT=Times New Roman]]~waves to everyone~ hey there. Im a freshman from Sewell NJ in the USA. (or i will be this year) Anyway, for any of you who want to know, Jersey isn't exactly the most exciting place. If you want excitement, don't come here. Jersey is pretty wierd at times though. I guess that's a plus, and so is the fact that there aren't big cities all over the place. Cities suck in my opinion. (no offense to anyone who does like them or lives in one) Anyway, this is my first post ever on the boards, so sorry if it's kinda jumbled-up and poorly written. i don't have much experience in typing these things. ^^;[/FONT][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]My husband lived in Mt Holly NJ for a while. He said the most exciting thing that happened to him was when one of his friends decided to set a patch of grass on fire and there was almost a brush fire. Yeah, he hung out with the Einsteins of Rancoca's valley Regional High School. Is it true that if someone breaks into your house in the state of New Jersey that you have to give them a chance to run away? Because someone broke into my brother-in-law's house and he went after them, but teh cops wouldn't arrest the guy becasue he didn't give the person a chance to get away. Then the kid's mom tried to press charges on my brother-in-law. :rolleyes: Oh and welcome to the boards don't worry, after the first hundred years you'll learn how things work.[/color]

[QUOTE=MangaFreak]Ok, there are lots of people who call us christians hypercrits. I'd like to corect them. We are not. Hypercrits are those who sin intensionately while we stumble in but try to get out. And why is it that if one stumbles we all are hypercrits and if all succeed we're all lunitics. Do you realy judge us so harshly? I hear you all saying things about us. Why? What do you have against us? What do we do to you? I mean seriously! Thats pretty much all.[/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Huh? May I make a claryfication? Not everyone has said that [i]all[/i] Christians are hypocrites. That's like saying that everyone has said that all Wiccans are women and all Satanists worship the Devil. Hyposcrisy to me is when you say that you're Christian and then you continously do things that don't seem Christian like pass judgement on other people. Or pretty much when you say something and then do the exact opposite. I doubt that anyone has anything against any of [i]you[/i] but it's not like you're some kind of oppressed people who get their shops burned down or their followers thrown into jail without due process. You're a majority. It stands to reason that your actions will be judged a bit more than others. It's like the US Military. I guess. That's all I have to say.[/color]

[quote name='SadAngel][COLOR=RoyalBlue] That was mean about the BF to back off his girfriend and calling you a lesbo. I mean that's mean to say to someone. People are who they are, why do these people in school or anyone else discriminate? [/COLOR'] :devil:[/quote] [color=darkviolet]The reason it was so comical though is because I'm not a lesbian or a bisexual. And even if I was I wouldn't go after that girl She was fatter than me, uglier than a dog's dinner and well I don't know. Come to think of it. That could be the reason she thought her boyfriend wanted me. Of course, I'm really not into guys who have no back bone so that would never have happened.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I think I actually like the villains much more than the good guys in either anime or american cartoons. So I like this thread. [b]Coolest[/b] Well if you really want to get technical about coolness I'd say Beruesche from the Ayakashi sisters in the Black Moon arc of Sailor Moon. SHe had some kind of ice power and she managed to find out the Mizuno Ami was SailorMercury. And if that isn't enough...she was the first SailorMoon villain not to wear pants. [b]Dorkiest[/b] Tomo from Fushigi Yugi. Okay, he had some cool mind control powers, but his ensamble was something for Queer Eye to get a hold of. Also that mummy guy who was in the first few Episodes of the first season of Slayers. I especially liked when Lina freaked him out with her light spell. [b]Best[/b] Best over all would have to be Kagura from InuYasha. She's strong. I liked when she tried to go after Naraku right after InuYasha attacked her with the Wind Scar for the first time. She's always fighting against being enslaved to Naraku even though he literally holds her heart in his hands. And you have to respect her for that. Also how she talks to Sesshomaru. No honorfics, no politeness just right up in your face. [b]Worst[/b] Tellu of SailorMoon from the Death Busters in the third season. One shot villain. And she was beaten by Sailormoon chibimoon SailorPluto and her own plant. [b]Smartest[/b] This is hard because there were quite a few smart villains. Nakago from Fushigi Yugi was definately the smartest though. I mean think about it. He tricked Yui into thinking [spoiler]she was raped and that miaka abandonded her. then he tricked the Suzaku seven into thinking that Suboshi was one of them. He tricked Tamahome into fighting the suzaku seven[/spoiler] and he did all that while being his evil self and never disquising who he was. Naraku only wishes (if he was real) that he could be half as smart as Nakago. [b]Dumbest[/b] I have a long list of dumb villains to chose from. Rubius from SailorMoon R is an idiod because he blew up in his own space ship. Lead Crow because she was sucked into her own black hole Queen Beryl because she fell in love with Endymion. I think I want to add funniest to this list of villains if it's okay with everyone else. My choice of funniest villain would be Mimette from DeathBusters/ Witches 5. I think it's because of her note to Eudial 'Snail Lady in the white van should crash and die. And then there's the episode where they're playing twister. Well, that was a lot of typing for me and my fingers are cramped.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Quite possibly my most favorite drama moment in high school was when this girl thought I was trying to steal her boyfriend (oddly enough this was around the same time that it was going through school that I was a lesbian. Well, damn it I guess I was just a bisexual and didn't know it! :eek: ) This girl would stalk me in my classes and threaten me. She was really freaking out because I rode the same bus that her boyfriend did so she thought I was trying to seduce him. This guy (her boyfriend) BTW used to be a friend of mine and actually gave the girl my phone number along with calling me himself and telling me to leave his girlfriend alone. The whole thing was rather comical after a while because after him and her decided to drive by my house, my brother and one of his friends followed their car to the local movie theater and keyed the crap out of it and broke one of the windows. Which ended up with me getting a note in my locker calling me a lebo and a dyke. Which confused me because I was pretty sure that if I was indeed a lesbian I wouldn't go after some girl's boyfriend but some boys girlfriend since that's how being a lesbian works, right? The whole thing finally died down after the girl's boyfriend graduated from high school. I actually ended up running into the guy two years ago by that time he was engaged...to another girl. He ended up appologizing to me, buT I couldn't remember why until he told me. And if anyone is wondering why I don't have a good story about being a lesbian well, I don't even know how that started except some girl said I was staring at her. Maybe I was just wondering why the hell she was dressed so badly.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]One of my favorite anime quotes is by an anime character who I believe is even more perverted than Miroku. An anime character who is about three feet tall and a Shinto Priest. My favorite anime quote is by Hino Rei's granpa from Sailor Moon. The episode is from the second half of the R season when Rei's granpa had ended up in a magazine article which was warning young women to stay away from the Hikawa Shrine because of his pervertedness. Rei said that he should stop chasing after pretty girls and His reply was: [b]A shrine without pretty girls is like miso soup without the miso.[/b] I thought that was pretty good all things considering. And although I can't really attest to how a shrine would be without pretty girls if it's as bad as having miso soup without miso then the pretty girls must be necessary.[/color]

[quote name='maladjusted] [color=firebrick'] Another thing about this reading topic...not only do I think reading is dying, but people are just getting stupid now. Parents are trying to ban books for stupid reasons. For example, Harry Potter. There are tons of sites out there pleading to parents that JK Rowling is a satanist and that by letting your kids read Harry Potter, they'll start worshipping the devil.[/color][/quote] [color=darkviolet]Banning books is nothing new. I think most of it started because everyone wanted everything to be so damn politically correct. To Kill a Mocking Bird, Tom Sawyer and I believe the Cay were all banned in some schools becuase the used the N word. I doubt this word was used as an insult by the author I think it was done becaus ethat was the dialect at the time and at the time these books were based that word was socially acceptable (in some cases) But Banning Harry Potter because of the use of Witch Craft is pretty funny. Sadly enough people do really screwed up stuff for the sake of religion. Does anyone remember last year when there was a book burning in Oklahoma? They not only burned Harry Potter, but the LOTR triology, some mainstream pop CDs and the Book of Mormon. Thankfully these people drew the line at burning the Torah and the Koran, but eh, maybe this year someone else will do just that. These are probably some of the same people who complain that their kids don't read enough. Well, heck maybe if you stopped burning your kids books they'd read more. :rolleyes: I don't know if any of this made much sense, but I can hope right?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I managed to think of more because I'm way too easily amused. 1.) You watch your brother's puppy shake the stuffing out of this stuffed horse that he's already chewed the eyes from 2.) You think it's fun to watch your dad's dog and your brother's puppy fight over this plastic toy that dispenses food when knocked around. 3.) You read the dictionary for fun 4.) Bonus if you read the French to English dictionary for fun and don't really have the need for it. 5.) You watch silent movies and adlib for the parts where they don't put up the lines. 6.) When you drive on the thruway (or any really long interstate since not everyone has a thruway) you wave at random people 7.) When you're stopped at a toll booth you wave at the people in the cars next to you and see if they wave back . 8.) You try to make up pictures from the spots on your brother's puupy. 9.) You make up stories involving real people and anime characters in your head then try them out. Like what if George W. Bush ended up in InuYasha, would Sesshomaru eat him? 10.) YOu have a notebook full of quotes and movie lines and you enjoy going through it and reading it. 11.) You make up private jokes that only very select groups of people undersand, but still mention them. Then you have to explain the jokes. I do know anymore, but I'm too lazy to do so.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I read manga to get a different perspective on the story. Simply put the manga is how the author of an anime intended the story to be. Sometimes the manga is much darker and less lighthearted than the anime and more directly to the point. For example the SailorMoon manga was like a good Russian comedy meaning that everyone died. Infact they died quite a bit. And sometimes you just read manga because nobody has turned it into anime and that's the only way you'll find it. Well, there's my $.02 into this topic take it or leave it.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Sadly enough, going off on her is discouraged because nobody wants to say anything to her.I'm afraid that she's going to end up saying something to my husband (like at Christmas when she actually said that the war in Iraq is God's will). Lincoln tends to not care what people think about him and that can lead to trouble, especially in a religious debate (the first time my grandma met my husband she actually asked him if he believed in God. His reply: Well, kind of, define God.) I mentioned that my doctor was happy that I was gaining weight. I think next time I should just come out and say: 'Wow grandma! I didn't know that God was so superficial!' I wonder what she'd say to that. :laugh: I got her to change the subject once when she was spouting off about how all Muslims think that they can only get to heaven by killing people because I mentioned how I had read about the religion and they believe that killing innocent people destines them to hell. I felt so good when I did that I told pretty much everyone. My brother and I are outcasts because we're adopted and not biological grandchildren like every other grandchild she has. Usually my brother gets the brunt of everything because when he was a toddler he was always very active (he has ADHD). When he was three my grandma actually told my mother that she should find an exorsist for my brother! She's actually said it a few more times about him. However, now because I'm not Catholic anymore, and my husband never was Catholic I get it too.. Hev'n's advice is probably the most likely because I don't see her that often in the first place. I just end up on the phone with her and pretend that when she starts talking about God she means both. I really wish I could go off on her though.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I'm very guilty of procrastination. I still have to go to the hospital where I'm having the baby and look through the birthing room along with finding out where I'm supposed to go when I come to the hospital. Then I have to find a pediatrician. Just think , I'm due in just under 2 months and I haven't done that yet. :eek: I'm a bad mother! I try really hard to write down what I have to do then get at least one or two things done on that list. For example: On the first of the month I make sure I get any bills that have to be paid by the fifteenth then after that's done I balance my checkbook. I'm not sure what else to tell you, but it's like ex soldier said: Once a procrastinator always a procrastinator...until the army decides to be stupid and send your husband home a week before the due date and you're going to be induced. [/color]

[quote name='Zudo']For who ever critized me, don't, you don't know me.[/quote] [color=darkviolet] :rolleyes: Crazy as this may sound, when you put up your stuff on a message board you open yourself up for critizicim. Especially when you involve violence after saying that people don't accept your religion. It's just a fact of life.[/color]

[quote name='Secily']I read the info about Serena, Fiore, and Darien in a summary written by the createrof the AMV. I have'nt seen the movie, just the AMV, and that's what the AMV was about, the love triangle between Serena, Fiore, and Darien...[/quote] [color=darkviolet]That makes sense then since that's how the creater of the AMV put out his/her opinon and you haven't seen the movie. Infact, I think my idea of how there couldn't be any real love triangle is also an opinion. Though even if there was some romance it would still only be one sided on Fiore's part since Mamoru/Darien only seems to be in love with Usagi/Serena (unless you want to get into some strange thing with Black Lady and the manga because that was a bit eery.[/color]
