OMNOMNOMALY

Just read the latest challenge. I'm ready, guys! Let's do our best! Do you want to post profiles and discuss things that we could do together to get it started?

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Great work guys! I was very confident in our entry, and rightly so =3 I was impressed with the other teams entries, but I wasn't surprised to see we had won, haha. We are definitely on a winning streak here, guys! I know we can keep it up.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]That's excellent! I tried to find an instrumental version on limewire, but alas! No luck. Now I'm not worried at all. Good luck in figuring out the sort of subtitling thing you're doing to get it on youtube. Can't wait to see the finished project, team![/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Lots to do this summer, as usual! Because I play club soccer, I will be playing through the summer, until atleast mid-August. That usually means training twice a week, and then two games a week on top of that. I plan on working full time, doing the working 5 days a week thing. Not really my idea of fun, but I have to save for university, because it is fast approaching. In July, I really want to take either Math 30 Pure or Biology 30. I want to get atleast one diploma course out of the way, it's too much stress to be taking 5 diplomas at once, and I do not handle stress well *laughs* It's a month long process, so that means that I'll have to work nights, if I want it to be full time. After all that, I hope I will still have time for fun, haha. I will likely be flying out to Vancouver Island in British Columbia to stay with my best friend for a couple of weeks in July, and maybe I'll get to hit up a few parties here at home.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkOrange]Now that I've been lurking around youtube, I think that maybe an N Sync song would be fun, and relatively easy because they have easy tempo/rhythm and patterns to follow. But it's totally a team decision. N Sync gets my vote, and I think that Bye Bye Bye is a viable option. What does everyone else think?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Anybody had any ideas yet? I've been going through my itunes looking for really popular stuff and I don't have that much xD But I had a few thoughts. White already stole my idea about the fresh prince of belair theme D< but we could do like.. a backstreet boys song, or a spice girls song. You know, all that horrendously popular bubblegum pop from 90's and the early 2000's. I can still remember most of the words to alot of their songs haha.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkOrange]well I have a music hoster on my myO site, so it can be done.. I'll just see if I can figure out how to tweak it to get it onto here. I have a few places I can look to for help though if I need it =3 Lets get to brain storming! Should we move it to PMs, do you think? I'll let you all know right now that I won't be on during this weekend coming up -- I have soccer provincials, and then I have tryouts for the outdoor season when I get back. But, assuming we have two weeks, that should be fine ^^ You guys can probably get a lot done without me.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkOrange]Welcome to the crew, Rachmaninoff! Nice to become a more 'normal' sized team *laughs* If we were strong with three, we'll do even better with four! I have NO idea what to expect but I'm really anticipating it - Sandy said lyrical, so it implies writing and/or music, and writing the Mercenaries have already proved to be adept at 8D. I can only hope that I interpreted right xD[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Actually Aaryanna, I'm with you 100% on your choices. Those two were the ones that stood out for me on the list as well. I know they'd both contribute alot to our team, and Crystia already demonstrated to us that she's a great teammate. THIS IS SO DIFFICULT! I guess We'll wait for your Mom's input then, and see where that leaves us.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Sandy][font=Century Gothic][B]Question to all team members in all teams:[/B] What are [I]you[/I'] expecting from the future of OtakuBoards Survivor 4?[/font][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]THIS QUESTION IS TOO AMBIGUOUS, I DON'T LIKE IT! I'm not sure exactly what you mean xD In terms of challenges? I have no idea, because this is the first OB I've ever paid attention to, much less participated in. I've really enjoyed all of the things you've thrown at us thus far, so I just can't wait for the next round.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]oh jeez, bahah. Sorry for saying this so late xD but great job, Aaryanna! Great closing, I was blown away. You have a knack for debates, I think =3 So I think we should keep our team thread alive! Because you know, it could be awhile till we're challenged again. So I'll use the inspiration I got in another team thread to ask you.. What's your favourite type of music? Band? Song of the moment? For me, I love so many types of music! I love alternative, acoustic, some pop, some jrock and jpop, and rap. I also listen to alot of instrumentals/orchestrals. My favourite band of the moment would probably be Abandoned Pools.. My favourite solo artist would be Lily Allen. My favourite song would be Soon Come - Asheru and Blue Black. Catchy old style rap is pertty neat =3[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Have I personally suffered from low self esteem? You bet. For both my weight and in general, just thinking that I'm ugly. And I still do. It's a constant battle with myself. It is slowly getting better, but there are many days when I wish there were no mirrors in my house. I'm also a 16 year old female, around 5'5 or 5'6, and around 135 lbs. I'm an athlete, so I know that alot of that is muscle - yet sometimes I'm still ashamed of my weight. It seems really heavy to me. All this self esteem crap definitely stemmed from my childhood. I was never the fat one, but I definitely wasn't as skinny as alot of my friends in elementary. Then I did something stupid and cut off my nice long hair to a short boycut. I was mistaken for a boy alot. And I stupidly kept it at a short length until grade 7... why? I'll never know. Probably not my greatest plan. I finally started growing it out, as well as thinning out and getting taller. It still wasn't good enough though. I had really unrealistic expecations - the longer my hair is, the more boys will like me, etc. [I]Really[/I] dumb. It wasn't really an immediate epiphany type thing, I just think that as I got more mature, I realized that many of the things I was striving for were just a little ridiculous - I'm not mean to be a 5'11 80 lb girl. My expectations are certainly easier to obtain these days, but can still get silly. I'd love to be ridiculously thin (though no anorexia look for me, thanks) and I still wish my hair would somehow magically become ridiculously long - but I am more comfortable with my body. I know what is realistic for me and what isn't, and when it comes to my weight issue always try to remember to take into account that my weight includes muscles. I think one thing that really helped me is that over and over, I've heard people say "confidence is attractive." And it's true. On the days when I'm not scared of the mirror, it shows. I talked to my Mom about it as well. She more or less told me that I could diet if I wanted, but she'd be pissed if I ever did a crash diet. I never did end up dieting, I was just a little more picky about my food choices. When it comes to how I look, I'm stuck so I just have to make the best of it xD It's already been mentioned too - make a list of things you LIKE about yourself. It really puts things in perspective, I think. It's true though - it all comes down to how you feel about yourself, and what will make you feel even better, whether or not that requires change. If you want to change though, do it safely =3[/FONT][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Shy][size=1] As others have said, popularity on the intenet comes and goes rather quickly. There have been a dozen generations of 'Cool Kids' since I first joined, and I'm always baffled by how certain members develop the cult followings that they do. God bless 'em, but most members are idiots and will flock to anyone with a staff position or a 'cute' mySpace profile. [/size][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]rofl. Clearly I came off dumber than I intended. The last part is a joke. White is a nice guy, and is a nice guy regardless of mod or eventmaster, obviously. I certainly don't talk to members on here because of status =/ I don't just flock to someone because of their rank or how well known they are. I also like to think I'm not an idiot.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Baron Samedi][size=1']In addition to this pivotal law of forum popularity, alternating caps works as a kind of 'attention multiplier', guaranteed to make you friends and create ensured e-penis growth.[/size][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS] I know who my new e-crush is. In all seriousness though, both [B]Baron Samedi[/B] and [B]DeathKnight[/B] have caused some serious luls in the past. This continues and so, even if they don't know who I am, I think they are both very epic members. I too am a fan of [B]Dragon Warrior[/B]. He was the first person on OB who I ever talked to on MSN, and now we're very good friends. And of course, more props for Slackers in Slacks! [B]White[/B] is a cute boy who is also Canadian. Not to mention he's a mod AND eventmaster. It's like being married to a real e-celebrity. 8D My original [B]OB Survivors team [/B] - you were all a pleasure to work with and it's a shame we lost two great members so early D: and then there's [B]Darren[/B], who did a great job with all his efforts on our script. I wish him the best of luck on his new team. No hard feelings, yo.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkOrange]Unfortunately, yeah, I'll likely have homework, I have to go pick up my Mom from the airport on Sunday which is like a 3 hour ordeal, and I'll be out on Saturday, possibly with some job hunting going on somewhere in there. I'm sure I could find time to write up my argument but I don't want us to suffer in the first time because of time constraints D: Kathy, I don't want you to have to argue something that goes against what you believe in, so if it's not possible for Aaryanna, I'll find a way to do it, no worries ^^[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Ahaha. I don't know if picking me is such a good idea for this round - I won't be on much during the weekend. but if you'd like, I can try and pound out some sort of argument. Aaryanna, what do you think? If you have more time, I'll gladly give this round to you - I'd hate for us to lose a round because I of not knowing how much time I'll be online.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]I'm very pro-choice, and so I'd debate this too if you wanted. But you're ready to go already so you can definitely have this round =3 We should probably PM some argument ideas back and forth - do you want to do that or do you need help?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Well hey - all the teams had to send somebody, so it can't be that bad, right? xD[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]go for it, Darren. I'm behind you 100%. I've got teh confidence, yo.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]We are so ready for this. I know it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS][IMG]http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3233/p2110017vv7.jpg[/IMG] [I]never again.[/I] [B]Do you have a job? If so, where and what do you do? If not, where would you want to work? (Feel free to answer both questions in the bold if you'd like).[/B] In my picture, I'm combining some of my outfits from my pseudo-job, cosplay. This could be called a cosplay disaster. I also like to pretend that karaoke is a fruitful career choice. So sue me. I used to work at Blockbuster. It kind of sucked. Alot. The only good thing about that job was the few coworkers (that left right before I did) and the free movie rentals (it's like ASKING me to gain weight. ugh.) I've thought about where I'd want to work for awhile, and I could go the conventional route and tell you that I'd love to work at EB games because I'm an uber dork (see above picture). Buut I won't, because this is all about being creative, my friends. I would like to work as a freelance contract killer. So technically I couldn't 'work somewhere' because then it'd be easy to find me. I'd have to come up with a cover, and do other work on the side (think mr & mrs smith) but yeah. Make up your own hours, choose the scumbags you want to kill.. there is big money in that, ladies and gents. [B]If you were an assistant of Donald Trump, what would your job be? (If you don't know who Donald Trump is, look him up. I guarantee he's at least on Wikipedia).[/B] I think this question is a little bit backwards, it should say [I]"what would Donald Trump do for you?"[/I] buuut seriously. If I HAD to do something for that low iq-d dolt with the ugly hairpiece, I would probably be the contract killer lurking in the background, waiting for my time to strike. If I had to do something real... I would be the toupee lady. [B]How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?[/B] Not much if I killed it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkOrange]Bahahaha. We are awesommmmme. Great job, guys. I look forward to another round with some of the best teammates out there.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkOrange]I think I just might write all over the place, sort of disjointed, just on whatever I have ideas about. I'll probably stick to death scenes, or go back to places where we were running low on feasible ideas or i know we can improve on something.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkOrange]Can't wait to see what you've got, Aaryanna! I'll send you what I've got for an intro later on, maybe even tonight... And I also like the idea of all of us picking 3-4 people we know from OB. I'll also send along a list, then, of the people I choose =3[/COLOR][/FONT]
