Name one member of OtakuBoards that you consider your friend here.[/b] [center]Before I gush about how many friends I have, let me state one thing. I have none so there is your anwser.....okay so technically I would have to pick SunfallE because even though we've only talked once she actually welcomed me back from my break ;/ therefore that makes her the coolest one.[/center] [b]6. What one thing would you take with you to a deserted island?[/b] [center]A gigantic pineapple. For food purposes and for killing. Especially with those spikes, I would hate to have a pineapple thrown at me wouldn't you? [/center] [b]7.

[size=1]Hey all. As most of you know anyways, is that I'm not a graphic artist and I wanted to create something special for the Hardwired Online thread. A banner with the words "MMORPG Listings" with either the image below or one from a mmo of your choice. Be creative. This will be so that everyone can find eachother on the mmo's that they are playing on, and will be posted in the thread. It would be much appreciated, thank you.

[size=1][b]What is it?[/b]: [ MEMBERS ] SunfallE, Dragon Warrior, Cancer & Panda [b]Why is it Nifty?[/b]: And you need a reason? SunfallE is the nifties mod. Actually she's the first mod that truely helped me out when I became mod especially when a few others, ahem, who weren't a mod at the time weren't too happy with the decision. I really appreciate the support and for that she earns the first spot on my list. Dragon Warrior for obvious reason, and he's the only one I've recently kept in the most contact w/on my short break. Cancer because he seems to be the only one who ever replies to my graphic requests (did I mention his work kicks ***?) and Panda because her banner/avatar sets are always so cute and she stays true to her name. (I swear she can find any panda picture on the planet, amazing). Hrmmm...that's all I can think of for now. [b]What is it?[/b]: Peanut + Dragon Warrior Marriage [b]Why is it Nifty?[/b]: Shameless plug? Maybe. DW and I have been married for quite a while now and we're the cutest couple on OB, dontcha think? Besides, I got an onion ring so therefore it makes it the coolest one. [b]What is it?[/b]: Otaku Idol 2 [b]Why is it Nifty?[/b]: Genius. I love the whole concept of auditioning for a mod position, for some reason it's so entertaining and fun. It's like my icing on the cake. [/size]

[size=1]Brown Recluse CAN cause skin to deterate SOMETIMES, it depends if you have a bad reaction to it and the person. Most of all its the number one spider bite that gets misdiagnosed. I've got bitten by a spider and it got infected and immediately my doctor probably stated I got bite by one, it wasn't until I did more research on the spider that I realized they don't really even live in the area that I live in (I'm hoping atleast?), and could have been a wolf spider which can give you a nausea type of feeling. I had to have them dig into my skin and everything. You can get a bad infection from any bite, a wolf or hobo spider can get you sick too. Unless you live way down south, I've never really heard of them being that huge of a problem before. Their called recluse for a reason, there was a family who had lived with 2,000 in their house and have never been biten. Also, it could also be a hobo, regular brown, or wolf spider, often all of these get mistaken for a brown recluse. Does the spiders look like [URL=http://www.everythingabout.net/articles/biology/animals/arthropods/arachnids/spiders/brown_recluse_spider/brown_recluse_spider.jpg]these[/URL]? I have no idea if maybe I did get bite by one, if so, yes getting my arm cut open didn't feel too good but I didn't die either. I wouldn't stress about them at a school, and just try to stay away from shady areas or corners. No record of a death from my knowledge has ever been recorded of being bitten by a brown recluse. Now if you go to Australia..... Good luck with that one.[/size]

[SIZE=1]I thought I would try again for another banner/avatar request, this time I have more of an idea of what I want ^^. I would love a [URL=http://www.tendoweb.com/Wallpaper/Resident%20Evil%204/resident_evil_4_rigell_005.jpg][b]Resident Evil 4[/b][/URL] set with just "Peanut" on the avatar and any saying you want on the banner. I definately wanted something game-related. I also would love for someone to make me a nice big RPG banner with the words "Salvation" and underneath it "Only one can bring justice". With any type of spooky picture or wording, it can be creative. (don't ask eheh) You don't have to complete both requests, but I would appreciate this sooooo much, since I really suck at making my own graphics. Thank you! Sincerely, Peanut [/SIZE]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2]What I find funny, is why is sex the most important complaint brought up in this? Isn't there more to adult life then just sex? I honestly can't believe their coming up with something to stunt your growth, but I definately think it would make that child's life a whole lot easier. Not only caring for an adult is difficult, but being an adult with a baby's mind would be a lot less easier for people to take then a child's. I definately agree with their decision however, since I think they are trying to think for the CHILD and not just for themselves. It just kills me that people bring up sex like its the most important factor. [/size][/font]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][size=2][center] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/PurpleFire/charcoal2.jpg?t=1168369090[/img] "phantom" [b]What's your favourite hobby?[/b] Its hard to pinpoint one, but I'd definately say I'm mostly known for playing MMO's. I also play regular video games like resident evil 4, however I'm not that big of a nerd so I do enjoy tennis and writing since I'm not that big of an art person. Snowboarding and Surfing is also something I'm trying to get into, since I use to play sports all the time. Music is also important to me, because without music how could you dance? I've done everything from jazz, ballet, tap, aerobic, and hiphop. Dancing is mainly my life and I believe I'll continue doing it until my legs give out and they will have to drag me off the stage at 60. [b]What do you think your best personality trait would be?[/b] Definately my sense of humour, but as you can see everyone says that. If I didn't think it was so important it would definately be the fact that I'm sensitive to other people's feelings and will most likely never be rude or vain to another person. I know it's cliche but I'm not a very mean person, infact I feel like I can make friends with almost everyone. (hey, I said almost didn't I? O.o) [/center][/size][/FONT]

[FONT=verdana][size=1][b]1) What day is your birthday?[/b] 07/07/87 [b]2) What is your zodiac sign?[/b] Cancer [b]3) How does your zodiac sign describe your personality?[/b] [QUOTE=Cancer]Cancer is a water sign and represents the highly emotional nature of the fourth sign of the Zodiac, to which you belong. Being born under Cancer you are under the sway of the element of water and this also makes you highly caring, generous and intuitive. As a water sign you are highly evolved and even spiritual by nature. The water signs are astrologically and karmically more developed and refined in spirit. You are for the most part a person of feeling and sensation and this means your experience of life is very much coloured by your sentiment. Often you will ignore your own better rational processes in favour of how you feel rather than what you think about a situation or someone. Obviously that is why others turn to you when they need a shoulder to cry on and why you also would do well in any of the caring professions. This is highlighted by your key life phrase: ?I nurture?. Anyone who knows you will agree that you are one of the easiest and most approachable people to connect with if they need advice in trying times. [/QUOTE] Uhhh...thats the short version of it =) [b]4) Does the description of your zodiac actually describe you? Why?[/b] Half in half. Cancer is suppose to be highly emotional, I wouldn't exactly say I'm the best at expressing my feelings. The "nuturing" part is semi-true as well, I am infact the one my friends turn too but instead of being approachable, I think people believe I'm intimidating sometimes. I'm also headstrong and outgoing and cancers are suppose to be humble and shy. Not really the case. [b]5) How does your zodiac sign PWN over the rest?[/b] 'cause cancer is a [u]CRAB[/u]. Who wants to be a ram or a scorpion? Pshhh...talk about BORING. Who wouldn't want to be a crab? Especially a pirate one. [/font][/size]

[quote name='Lava Lamp][COLOR=SeaGreen][FONT=Tahoma]Just wondering, but are Honey and Clover the people in the tux and wedding dress? That confused me a bit.[/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote][SIZE=1]No thats actually a sample of the Sims game. If you click the words Honey & Clover, it will give you a preview of what it is."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Hello, yes its been awhile since I've requested something but I feel like I need a change. Thats why I want a banner and avatar of [b][URL=http://www.sims-hq.de/images/content/simshq_main_history/sims2_screen3.jpg]The Sims 2[/URL][/b] on it, I've tried looking up for decent pictures but it really is difficult to pick one out. If thats too hard then I would definately like it to be with [URL=http://www.mrmans0n.net/img/clover-wp.jpg][b]Honey & Clover[/b][/URL] in it. Either one will be fine, so just choose whatever is easier for you. I would love the word "Peanut" on the avatar and on the banner as well. I would also like the words "I've always wondered how far I could go without ever looking back" on the banner too. Hope thats not too much, thank you. ^^;[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Everyone has seen or heard about plastic surgery. Either from a friend or on a plastic surgery show like Dr. 90210. Anyways, more people are considering having cosmetic surgery every day, what use to seem controversial has now become part of our culture. However, that may be different depending on the community. My question is what are your thoughts on plastic surgery? How have they changed over the years, if at all? What does most people in your community think (ex: L.A it might be more popular meaning more people think positively on it)? Would you ever consider cosmetic surgery? Why or why not? and have you ever known someone to go under the knife? My personal opinion is I use to think badly upon people like that, such as "Why would you do that to yourself?" but honestly, my view has changed dramastically. If someone wants to change their body, then I suppose they should have the right to do so, no matter what anyone thinks or says. In my community, I suppose people would have mixed feelings on it, the same as I do. As far as would I consider cosmetic surgery is also something I don't think I could anwser. I guess if there was a time that I felt like I needed it, but I doubt I could because of all the needles involved. Right now, I'm satisfied with who I am and what I look like. I've never known anyone to go under the knife though, although I do kind of find cosmetic surgery interesting to learn about.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Hmmm...yes I'm here again looking for a new banner/avatar set. This time I want a honey & clover theme, with pumpkin on the right hand side too in smaller letters. I also would like pumpkin to be on the avatar as well. I want a little quote or something cute on the banner to go with the pictures but since I can't come up with anything really unique so far, I'll let you be the judge of that. So just be creative and have fun with it, honestly it doesn't really matter to me. Kudos and I appreciate everyone who gives it a try, I'll choose whoevers I love the best. thanks =) [/SIZE] [URL=http://www.hachikuro.net/wallpapers/wallpaper_02_800.jpg]Picture 1[/URL] [URL=http://www.animepaper.net:8080/upload/thumbs/wallpapers/Honey-and-Clover/%5Blarge%5D%5BAnimePaper%5Dwallpapers_Honey-and-Clover_sputnikxii_12415.jpg]Picture 2[/URL]

[SIZE=1]Sorry I haven't posted yet..eek. I should have one up around tomorrow. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana][list] [*][b][COLOR=#996633]Pumpkin[/b][/COLOR]: It's hard to say how I came up with Pumpkin. Like many others, I just thought up something to get onto the boards. I was mostly known on many other forums as the infamous [b][COLOR=#996633]purplefire[/COLOR][/b] and for some reason I didn't sign up at first with that name here. Maybe I just wanted a change, oh well for some reason it suits me now. [*][b][COLOR=#996633]Dee[/COLOR][/b]: I felt like I wanted to change my username but I couldn't think of one. It was then that I noticed people here use real names too (or fake ones). Ex: Gavin, James, Amelia, Annie etc. My real name is Katie, but one of the ways I spell it is "Kadee", not only is that a nickname but many people began to shorten it to "Dee" and that just sort of stuck. The people on here that I've got to know quite a bit, call me "Dee" as well. I thought why not use a nickname? Therefore, Dee was born. I've even thought about changing it back. [*][b][COLOR=#996633]Mameha[/COLOR][/b]: If you've read or watched Memoirs of a Geisha before, then you know that this name is based on one of my favorite characters. At the time, I was really obsessed with the book and thought it was the prettiest name. [/list] And then I changed back to Pumpkin. I think if I ever change my name again, I'll always end up going back to Pumpkin for some reason it just seems to stick. It's taken over purplefire and I use pumpkin more often now when I'm venturing online. OB however is the only forums that I visit now. [b][COLOR=#996633]EDIT[/COLOR][/b]: [quote name='BKstyles][font=tahoma']Bklyn or BK is the shortened version of Brooklyn, which is where in New York i am from. [/font][/quote]Ooooh, I always wanted to know what BK stood for ;_; am I the only one who didn't get it?[/SIZE][/FONT]

[LEFT][FONT=verdana][COLOR=#DDDDDD][SIZE=1][INDENT][B]Name[/B]: [COLOR=#CCCCCC]Angel Harrison "Angie"[/COLOR] [B]Age[/B]: 15 [B]Gender[/B]: Female [B]Appearance[/B]: Angel has long blonde hair and a hint of black streaks underneath it with crystal blue eyes. She stands 5'4" and is usually seen wearing grease-covered overalls and baggy gym shorts that she's borrowed. Angie has never really cared for primping or "making an impression", fashion is definately the last thing on her mind. You can usually catch her wearing her hair up in a clip or in a ponytail, no make up on, and with a grin on her face. [B]Element[/B]: Metal [B]Starting Ability:[/B] Angel has found out recently that she can turn metal into a liquid. How this skill can be useful, she hasn't exactly found the anwser to that. [B]Why?[/b]: Angel and metal seem to complete one another. She has always had a passion for fixing up used cars, claiming that if people gave them enough attention they truely are a treasure in disguise. She can keep calm in most situations unless one of her friends are harmed or insulted, she has been known to have the strength of two men and can defend herself in a fight. Secretly, she enjoys fighting but has made a strict vow to only do it when there is an immediate emergency. As far as Angel has known, she has always been the tomboy that people come to for advice and help, this ended up giving her the petname "Mother" because it seems she can't help but baby people sometimes. In reality, she just has a big heart and wants to shield other's from pain but ends up excluding herself in the process. [/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [SIZE=1]:: [b][COLOR=#333333]ooc[/COLOR][/b] :: okay not my greatest sign up. But what the heck I gave it a shot eh? >.

[quote name='Boo][size=1']By the way, I liked Elements: Online's idea better, though it never got far. ;-; [/size][/quote][SIZE=1]You took the words straight out of my mouth, yeah I definately liked Elements Online. *fangirl sigh* Anyways...I guess I'll go and sign up again...geesh. I hate competiting but I'm not going to change it anymore, so there. Hah. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I do admit I like to window shop. Mostly because all I'm doing right now is working to save up my money. I really have to look at prices now instead of endlessly spending my money, its really tempting though. I mostly don't do it because I get the earge to buy and honestly I can't afford to spend my savings right now. Occasionally though, I love going to the Mac make up counters and looking at what's new. They always sucker me into buying something there though with compliments, but I love their eyeshadow colors and lipgloss (I just bought one that makes your lips tingle, its neat). I also love to go to the mall and look at stores such as bebe sport, wet seal, anchor blue, bloom, lola's and all those little retail stores that I love so much. Now that I'm older and more confident, I feel pretty much comfortable wearing almost anything so I love to go try on clothes. I also do have a secret passion for books, and occasionally you can find me wandering inside of Barnes & Nobles or Borders. That's pretty much it. Did I mention I love shoes? Yes looking at all the high heels and sandles is a fun thing too. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]If you've ever watched Oprah, (spare the hatemail) then you might have seen the one episode where she revealed a tragedy that is happening even more in the united states then in some other countries. I think because we are the "land of the free" that we turn a blind eye to some of these issues, just because its not right infront of our eyes doesn't mean that it isn't there. There is a child sex trade in this country, it just might not be as extreme and public and is in the privacy of some pervert's home. One person was 8 when she was taken, turned into a "slave" until she was 19 when she escaped. It's pretty wierd and twisted. However as far as her story goes, I can see how other people can view that. But hey, theres no evidence to say she's lying either. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Commenting time! [b]CHW[/b]: I actually pictured you exactly what you look like! Kind of amazing really. I love your photos! [b]Ezekiel[/b]: I too like to dye my hair like crazy, hair is so fun to mess with. I love your new color as well, the burgundy red is awesome. I thought about trying it but I've never gone red before. [b]Vicky & AiSakuraChan[/b]: Also cool hair and Sakurachan your pretty and you know it XD hah. Same goes for vicky. [b]Sakurasuka[/b]: I've seen your myspace before, and I'm jealous of your photo taking abilities haha. All I have is my pathetic webcam. [QUOTE]Originally Posted by Retarded Fellow You're only pretty because you use tons of makeup. Your not even that pretty anyways. Stop being stuck-up.[/QUOTE] Wow someone sure is pathetic. Jealous much? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Let's see...inventions eh? I would definately be greatful for the modern toliet being invented. I mean, if you think about it we coud be going in a little dirt hole like some of the countries in the east, that I am thankful for. Also, automobiles because without them transportation would be slow since we would either be walking, on trains, or riding a bycle. Another one that is a bit more vain, would be my hair straightener. Honestly, I'm suprised I don't burn my hair up, I really love this invention which turns my wavy locks into straightened goodness. You really don't know what my hair looks like in the morning. That and whoever invented cheesecake...I so love you. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]When someone you don't know dies, it seems everyone feels remorse. That's why we're human. I definately felt something when my brother-in-law (I really consider him my brother even though he's my sister's husband) died last year in a motorcycle accident. The night he was killed, I didn't even cry due to shock but when you go to the funeral, it was there that I was told this was the last grieving period before we move on with our lives. As far as I know, my brother's memory will still live on. My sister has moved on in her life to where she's not hysterical, life goes on. However, people who say that you forget the pain, haven't yet experienced a painful separation from someone. It gets better but you will never forget the pain, thats what makes death so dramatic.
