[size=1][color=slategray]Okay, to make it short and sweet. Could you use the attachment? I want to warn everyone that I want a fade in fade out banner, all right? Have the first girl(top) with the first quote, second girl, second quote, third girl, third quote, and then the name. I hope that isn't to much. Ava: just the face of the second(middle) girl. Banner: The name 'Paertekarka' and the quote: (1st)Some reasons are more obvious than others (2nd)And sometimes (3rd)There is no reason. I really hope this isn't to hard, and I can't wait to see what everyone does! *is excited* Skye[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategrey]Before I post, I'll apologize. GOMENNASAI!!!! *grovels* I am so sorry for not finishing my biography; thanks for still letting me in. Thanks!![/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategrey]I usually have MyO linked in my signature. I mostly use MyO to vent and to get things off my mind. I feel a lot better about my day and I can forget somethings once I've typed them down. It's also a chance to see what people would do in my situation. Some of my most recent posts haven't been very... constructive, I must admit. But hey, who's would be after a spend-the-night party over the weekend with six kids? Craziness, I tell ya. :p I started a MyO because I thought it was a good idea, fun, and because I hadn't found OB yet. ^_^; I found that through the quizzes when my brother and I were in one of those phases... You should read Alan's blog/disclaimer, though. He has nice rules. ;)[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]Liari sat cross-legged on her bed, Kynan in her lap, and Lillian sitting in front of her, underneath her left hand. The girl?s eyes were closed, her shaggy dark grey hair falling into her face. Her mom yelled from down the stairs, ?[b]Liari! You?ll be late![/b]? Liari gently dumped the cat out of her lap, and got up, stripping from her pajamas. She grabbed a pair of baggy cargo pants with the bottoms scuffed and holes in the knees, a tight cameo-tank, and her jean vest with frayed edges. She dressed quickly, and grabbed her cameo bandana from the desktop, and put in her silver studs. Putting on her overly large tennis shoes, she grabbed her cameo messenger bag, and then ran down the stairs. Before her mother could give her an outfit check, she was out the door, and running down the street. A natural athlete, she sped down the sidewalk with ease. She managed to reach the school in time to see ? who else? ? her cousin, Kimiko, stop a soccer ball. Walking the rest of the way, Liari turned heads with her defiant outfit. ?[b]Hai, Kimiko-kun.[/b]? Her cousin turned at the greeting. ?[b]Hai, Liari-kun. What are you doing here?[/b]? Liari rolled her eyes. ?[b]Same thing you are. Going to school.[/b]?[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=red]Mercedes decided she wouldn't take this bullshit. She stood, and her own voice rang out as Dante's faded. [center][b]They say music can alter moods and talk to you Well can it load a gun up for you and cock it too? Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude Just tell the judge it was my fault, and I?ll get sued See what these kids do, is hear about us totin' pistols And they want to get one, cos they think this shit's cool Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves We're entertainers; of course this shit's affecting our sales You ignoramus. Sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing with me now, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away.[/center][/b] She grinned, and began to fade. Her last words were: "[b]You fuckwits might want to get your facts straight - I know we won't put up with it longer![/b]" She woke up in her chair, and blinked before reading Wynn's message.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=green]I can see where that is a problem. Most of us make it nifty looking, like Sakura's. Treno, Jian, and I (Formerly Reise, Tash, and Rhian) have all put all our former user names in our signatures. It looks pretty nifty, too. :p But yeah, it would be useful to find a way to show who used to be who. ^_^ It is also confusing when someone abruptly changes their style of banner and ava, and don't put their name on it. (On a side note, I actually remember when I had: Former Username: callmegoddess04 in my signature, and I put my name in bold. xD)[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=green]I like to think that, somewhere, maybe even in a universe on a plane parrallel to this one, dragons exist. I don't have to wonder about ghosts. I do believe faeries, unicorns, things like that, used to live on this earth. Of course, no people have seen them; that's what drove them out in the first place. Unicorns, I like to believe, live(d) on our dreams, and when we stopped believing in them, they stopped coming to us. But hey, that's just me and my theory. :p Like with most magic and such, it don't work if you don't believe in it. I also have a question to present: have you ever felt like something should be somewhere, and it isn't? As if you are sliding into a universe almost exactly like the one you were currently in, but just one tiny detail is missing? Like at this three-way road. My mom could have sworn there was a stop light. But now there isn't.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=green]Pwee! To you, too, Ozy-san! THank you!!![/size][/color]

[size=1][color=green]Yes, I know, Saint Pats is only one day. ^_^ But please? Could someone make me a matching set with four leaf clovers, and on the banner only, a pair of eyes peaking out from behind them? COuld I have the quote 'Beannachtai na Feile Padraig!' on the banner, and my name? For the avatar, just my name. ^_^ Please and thank you! Mouse[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=green]Happy Saint Patricks Day, everyone! Who all follows the 'wear green or be pinched' tradition? Any stories to tell? One year, in elementary school, I picked out the only thing I had that was even slightly green. All day people said it wasn't green, so I stayed near a teacher. ^_^; The next year the teachers had to put a 'No pinching' rule up. That was funny. This year, though, I have a nice green sweatshirt. So, any stories about Saint Patricks day? Oh, and what is your favorite part? Getting to wear green whether it matches or not, or the pinching? And what's your favorite green piece of clothing?[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]Mkays! I guess I'll go ahead and get this started on Saturday, cause tomorrow I'm going ot be very busy. Anyone who wants to sign up before then, you can, but I'll show you which places are open: Elemental: 3 places taken - [b]Me:[/b] Shaylee - [b]Kyuai:[/b] Isaac - [b]Pandia:[/b] Aquaria Alter: 2 places taken - [b]Sakura:[/b] Lai - [b]Neuvoxetere:[/b] Kilani Telekinetic: 0 places taken Pandia, could you flesh out Aquaria's story just a little bit? Other than that, you're in. Apologies, Innocent, but only one male could be in the outer group, and Kyuai's sign up was best. Sign ups close on Saturday, everyone!! So hurry![/size][/color]

OOC: I'm going to use 'red' as Mercedes color, just because she wears it all the time. :) THis should be fun. [size=1][color=red]Mercedes sighed, staring at her screen. Tumbled blonde hair fell in messy waves down her back, and she leaned back in her chair, reaching reluctantly for her wireless mouse. She paused looking to the picture of her ?fiancé?. He was about average height, soft, dark brown hair, beautiful brown eyes, and a soft smile. A to-die-for guy, no doubt ? just not the type Mercedes was looking for. And he didn?t exactly like her, either. With that in mind, she smiled, and then clicked on the icon in the top right corner of her screen before instantly blanking out. She stood outside the school building in her usual red spaghetti-strap top, red harem pants, sandals, and red track jacket with white lines down the arms. The hood was up over her blonde hair, and her eyes sparkled. She was one of the best looking girls in school, and she knew it. Her outfit didn?t show too much skin, though; the administration could do nothing about it. Walking up the stairs, matching red messenger bag slung casually over her shoulder, she didn?t bother to stop at her locker. She went right ahead to her classroom, and spotted a trio of people. She didn?t usually associate with them, but she had taken a liking to the silver-haired hunk, Dante. So, today, Mercedes went over to the group, and pushed back her hood, smiling broadly. ?[b]Morning, Wynn, Dante, Ann.[/b]? The trio looked up, slightly surprised at her coming over. Mercedes laughed. ?[b]Wynn, you look a little tired.[/b]?[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]This is gonna sound funny... I only ever heard of Beck from every time we would re-install MediaPlayer on my computer and his was a sample track thing. -.- Yeah, I'm wierd. I never bothered to listen to it, but I guess I will if everyone says he's good. >.>[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray][spoiler]A ripple of pleasure went up Velvet?s body as Sol?s hands teased along her sensitive skin. His mouth was warm on her breast, and her back arched as his tongue circled the taught nipple teasingly. Her hands pressed into his shoulders, and he moved his mouth to her other nipple. She was totally nude, and he undressed himself quickly. Their naked bodies pressed together as Sol kissed down her, to her stomach, his tongue tracing along her skin in trails of fire. One hand cupped beneath her bottom gently, the other holding one breast. His thumb and forefinger teased the nipple, and Velvet let out a soft moan. Sol?s lips teased the edge of her sensitive skin near the downy mass of black hair. His tongue teased her gently, and she pulled him up to her, their lips locking again. Her tongue was hungry and hot, tracing his lips.[/spoiler] OOC: Lots-o-spoilers. Your turn. ^_^ Sorry I took so long.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]True love... my god... It is hard to explain, but Panda pretty much hit it on the head. I love my family, but it is only family love. There is one person I know that I love from the depths of my soul. Faith, yeah, I guess that could be part of it. True love: you love that person no matter what they do, say, or who they act like. Because you just seem to KNOW who they really are. There is only one person who does that for me, and she is my best friend. As much as she tries to hide from the rest of the world, and tries to say I don't really know her, I know I do. It's something you just can' say no too. I grew into that love; it wasn't an all at once thing. THe more I got to know her, the more I loved her, and now, after four or five eyars, that love is unconditional. Now... my first crush? Geez, way back in 2nd grader. ^_^; A boy named Adrien, about a year younger than me. Very rough and loved climbing trees and such. He was always funny, real nice to me, but kind of rude to everyone else. Geez, that was funny. My current boyfriend... John, I like him a lot. A lot. I don't quite truly love him - yet. I've only known him for, maybe two years? And I only get to see him occasionally, like at church when we go, to things like Pagan Pride, or a big picnic. But I'm pretty sure I'll love him. He's a good guy.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]Thank you!! I am very glad you like them, Lix. And it seems they are for the same reasons I like them. THe border is actually just a black and then white border. No yellow. ^_^ I made some banners, too... [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22807&stc=1[/img] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22808&stc=1[/img] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22809&stc=1[/img] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22810&stc=1[/img] I?m working on ?Glass Wings? right now. ^_^ What do you all think? I tend to favor smaller banners. I actually like the Tomoyo banner the best.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray][b]EDIT:[/b] Okay, I'll take Wolf since Nuex- Arika(lol) chose the Band first. ^_^ [b]Name:[/b] Liari Deneloth [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Role:[/b] The Silver Wolf [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://www.psycko-manga.de/gallery/babe/16-3.htm]Liari and her surfboard[/url] - Liari keeps her hair short, and her chosen style of clothes change from day to day. She wears the Wolf on a single chain around her neck, alone, always below her clothes. She also wears a single silver cross on the outside of her clothes on a black rope around her neck. [b]Personality:[/b] Liari has a no-nonsense attitude, and is not one to mess with. She has a slight temper that flares and cools easily, but will not stand for hot-headed jerks. Underneath, Liari just wants to be accepted, but is to stubborn to talk to anyone. She is a silent shadow in the light of all the ?in? crowd. She is a social outcast, but doesn?t care. No one messes with her, so why should she give them a second thought? Liari has no care for those who don't care for her; having no friends, she has developed a shell that locks her emotions inside. [b]Bio:[/b] Liari grew up with only her mother, who was at work 24/7. They never talked much, only exchanging cold smiles as Liari left early for extra curriculars. Liari was used to being alone when she got home from school in the afternoon, and cooking dinner for she and her mom, who didn?t get home until midnight. By then the food was cold, and her mom didn?t eat it anyway. Liari learned to make it even if her mother didn?t eat it; her mother had yelled at her one to many times about not doing her chores. Liari never had any friends, and when her mother had to move for her new job, Liari didn?t really care. She had no emotional attachment to the small, cramped apartment, and was glad they were moving to a real house. Her mother?s job paid well, now, and they bought the house a week before they moved in. Liari got new clothes, new everything. She even got a pair of twin black cats, one with gold eyes named Kynan, and one with green eyes named Lillian. The two were the only ones there to greet her when she came home. Her mother still worked around the clock, but now Liari didn?t feel lonely. Liari is bored, waiting to begin going to the new school. She is also aware that her cousins, Koji and Kimiko, go to this school, and is nervous about meeting them. Am I the only one not short on braincells?[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]Suki was fighting the whole time Sadie held her. Hot tears of anger and hurt ran down her face, dripping onto Sadie?s shoulder. When Sadie let her go, she slid to the floor, sobbing. She heard Trina?s footsteps, and turned her face away. [I]Damn you, Sadie?[/I] Sliding a knife from her boot, she looked at it. The eight inches of cold steel slid across her wrists, slicing open the deep veins beneath the skin. She was still sobbing, and the hot tears fell into the open wounds. Blood gushed over her hands, and she dropped the knife. She needed the pain, but it did not distract her mind. The pain was huge, and she had cut deeper than she had thought. ?[b]No, Sadie? he has just as much right to loving someone else as you do?[/b]? Sadie looked up, as did Trina, and Sadie gasped, scrambling to her feet. ?[b]Suki! You-[/b]? Suki looked away/ The young girl then sank into silent, black oblivion. Suki woke up in the hospital wing, surrounded by pillows and blankets. Her wrists were bound tightly by gauze, and they throbbed in pain. She was dressed in a long, loose T-shirt that, by the smell, she recognized as Sadie?s. Looking up, she was captivated by Sadie?s pain-stained eyes. She looked away, fresh tears starting in her eyes. Sadie reached out to touch her, but thought better of it. Suki said something Sadie was barely able to catch. ?[b]Why are you here, Sadie? I don?t care anymore.[/b]?[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]Suki was silent as Sadie ran out of the room, and she curled beneath the covers, tears forming in her eyes. She did love Sadie; she always had. When Sadie had invited her, she had been so hopeful, and then Sadie had loved her back. Or so she thought. Suki curled into a tight ball, sobbing silently into the sheets. Her gold eyes were blurred with the tears, and she didn?t try to go after Sadie as she ran after her love. [I]Why? Oh, Sadie?[/I] Then she heard the gunshot. Suki was dressed in a split second, and one of the knives she always kept in her boot was in her hand as she ran. She saw Callisto (She knew him from Sadie?s previous association with him) and Sadie, who was still stark naked. As Callisto performed his miracles, she heard him say something to Sadie. She didn?t quite catch it. Her own anger overflowed as Callisto said something. This time she didn?t care. ?[b]Is that all I am too you, Sadie?! A way to get back at your father?![/b]? Sadie was looking at her as if she had grown to heads; Suki seldom yelled. ?[b]And then he walks in instead of your dad, you act like you want to say, ?It isn?t what it looks like!? How can you treat me like that?! I thought I was your friend![/b]? Then the girl with golden eyes turned and ran. OOC: Just thought this would twist it.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]I gave it a shot; I can't make different effects, so I used different positions. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22802&stc=1[/img] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22803&stc=1[/img] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22804&stc=1[/img][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray][b]Thank you, Taryn-chan.[/b] Suki was silent as Sadie whispered in her ear, and followed behind Trina and Achim. She was still silent when they turned a corner, and she turned the other way. Suki made it to her own room, and shut the door behind her. As the hot water from the shower ran over her, she ran long, artistic hands through choppy, yet silky, brown hair. The water ran down her warm, creamy skin, and then she turned the knob, switching it to ?Off?. She stepped out of the shower, and toweled off. The girl went to her room, grabbing a mini-skirt, a tube-top, and sandals. Then she thought better, and switched them for knee-high boots with thigh-high socks. She wore an all gold outfit that contrasted with her golden eyes and brown hair. Slipping a jacket on, she left her room, and walked down the hall. Suki found Sadie?s room, and knocked on the door. A light ?Come in? was all she heard, and she pushed it open. It was dark in the room, and Suki closed the door behind her. ?[b]Sadie-chan?[/b]? [b]Tag, Taryn.[/size][/color][/b]

[quote name='Generic NPC #3]There really is no reason to change them. They simply just should not be used. They're stereotypes for a reason, they embody the most extreme example and most people have [i]never[/i'] fit neatly into them.[/quote] [size=1][color=slategray]I understand that. I don't even know, truly, what the definition of any stereotype is - except mabe jock. xD But my point is, IF we are going to continue using stereotypes, we need to make them so it actually makes sense. Meh, Baron, that's exactly what I meant. Everyone calls her skatergirl, but is she really?[/size][/color]

[quote name='Retribution][SIZE=1]I've seen people who [i]look to be[/i'] goths. Meaning the chain pants and all. I'm not exactly sure how a "true goth" would act though.[/SIZE][/quote] [size=1][color=slategray]Chain pants??? I thought those were punks. *ponders for a moment* Most 'goths' wear black, and act depressed. Really, it is just a label. I happen to be an American teen, and I happen to agree with James. I also realized something: someone should start changing the definitions of the labels. I mean, no one fits the descriptions anymore. I mean, a friend of mine: skater girl without a skateboard. But she doesn't ACT like a skatergirl. I don't fit a stereotype; I'm sometimes like a stupidly-silly-sweet person, but I am also very intelligent. Seriously though: no one fits stereotypes anymore.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=slategray]Glad to hear you're still accepting. ^_^ I gave it a go. TO get back in the swing of making banners. (Let me tell yah, it's a whole lot easier to add font if there is a solid color BG.)

Sorry I didn't add font on the avatar. . . >.>[/size][/color]
