Sinistra

[quote name='ChibiHorsewoman'][color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Here are the basic questions 1.) Long or short 2.) Color 3.) Have you dyed it? 4.) If you have dyed it, what colors has it been? 5.) What length do you prefer on the opposite sex?[/color][/font][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Oooh, this is kinda different. 1.) My hair is short (above my shoulders) but it's currently in a straightened, angled bob shape. And it's very bouncy, I love it.

[quote name='Vicky'][SIZE=1]But for someone who hasn't gone to college before... duh... I'm a bit worried about people. I'm used to being insulted or shunned in school by people who don't know me, and I won't know anyone in college. Does anyone know what kind of attitude I should expect? 'cause I'm rather paranoid about the whole new people... thing... Yay for my first Lounge thread in a year...[/SIZE][/QUOTE] [COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="1"]Well, I wouldn't worry about the people too much, university is so much different than secondary/high school. I'm actually in my first year of college and already I've met so many interesting people. (I mean heck, there's a kid I know who's Chinese, but he has an English accent, and lives in New Jersey.) I was extremely nervous too, I mean, you're right, it's one of our first real decisions that we make on our own. And after that, it's one after the other. There are so many people, cultures, and beliefs intertwined here at University. And once you get there, you realize that everyone else is just as afraid as you are because you are all out of your comfort zone; a lot of people are more accepting. I think what's harder is finding your little niche within it, but even then it's a lot of fun exploring all the different clubs and what not. But eventually, you'll learn to get comfortable with it and I'm sure it'll be a nice, snug fit. You'll even miss it when you return home for a break. But either way I hope this helps you, and good luck with the process![/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][CENTER][IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/Kodak%20Pics/OtaKutie3copy.png[/IMG] [I]I too have suffered from exams and SATs and whatever other drama has arrived this week. But enough of that, here goes...[/I] [B]If you could combine two animals, what would they be, and why?[/B] Hm...I would have to say that I would combine a siberian tiger and a saluki. Salukis have speed, and have a thinner body structure much like a cheetah. Tigers have power. Combine the two and you would have an amazing hunting pet. [B]If you had to film an action movie, what location in the world would you think would suit the most exciting action scene ever? (In other words, where would you film it?)[/B] For the type of action scene, I choose a dogfight in the skies just around sunset. Powerful stealth fighters with wafer thin wings and enough firepower to take out a large city sounds awesome. But it would start out with perhaps a three-on-one situation: assassins from different agencies or something like that. I would prefer somewhere desolate, perhaps somewhere around Area 51 in Nevada. And with it being over Area 51, the Armed Forces along with the FBI and CIA would have to join in as well. It would be more fun to move somewhere populated to up the stakes. Naturally, I want it to last, so it would be nightfall before anything good happened. Putting innocent, unknowing bystanders in danger is always fun too, the end location would move to somewhere crowded like Las Vegas. [B]Let's say you ruled a country. Whether your economy prospers or not is up to you. In otherwords, you can be a harsh ruler to your people or a kind one. But what of food? Do you vary in vegetation and agriculture? Do you have a large marketing system? Perhaps some world wide food industries were founded in your nation. The question is, how do you run your country's food situation following those guidelines? This takes more thought, folks. You can choose to make your food of plenty or not. What's it going to be?[/B] [Will edit][/CENTER][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I apologize for the inconvience, the link had been broken from my Photobucket account while I was moving things around. [URL=http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/Kodak%20Pics/REVISION7-31copy.png]The Picture[/URL][/SIZE]

[CENTER][IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/REVISION7-31copy.png[/IMG] [COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][B]1. What's your favorite hobby?[/B] My favorite hobby [at the moment] is singing and dancing. I've always loved to sing, it just helps me to relax. As for dancing, Dance Dance Revolution started it. But I like to dance around my room with whatever's playing on my stereo and sing at the same time. And when no one's home, I'll just let loose around my living room. I don't care if I can't dance, I just like to do it. [B]2. What do you think your best personality trait would be?[/B] Well, my spontaneousness has often been called my best trait. When I'm out with my friends, I have a tendency to take the lead and run them all over the place. It ranges from the mall to the beach in the winter. It's fun walking on the ice that's actually ashore. They really enjoy their time with me though seeing as they call me every weekend and we go out until about one or two in the morning. I've also been told that my spontaneousness is great for cheering up people.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Meh...why not take a chance? Name: Rhiannon a.k.a Rika[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Well, I know that a lot of foreign people think of New York as in [B]New York City[/B]. When I stayed with my host family in Japan, I had a map of New York with me just in case I had to show them where I lived. When I showed my host mother that I lived in Upstate New York, she was so astounded and told me that she and all of her friends thought I was from New York City. I had to explain to her that I lived more toward Niagara Falls, and even then she still didn't believe me. While at the airport in Detroit on the way there, several delegates and I were asked by foreigners [I believe Koreans and 'Indians'] if we were from New York City as well.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Well, I'm left handed. My username Sinistra is latin for "left-sided" which I so wisely chose a while ago. O.o I'm horrible at writing with my right hand, if there was ever a time where my left hand wasn't available, I would be in a lot of trouble.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Ah. Here's my list to contribute. Well, only a part of it. :3 [CENTER][IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/OriconCover.jpg[/IMG] [B]Gackt M.S. Camui.[/B] I love this man for not only his looks but for his absolutely wonderful voice and powerful way of words. [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/Takeshi.jpg[/IMG] [B]Takeshi Kaneshiro.[/B] I first laid eyes upon him in House of Flying Daggers, and I haven't really been able to take my eyes off of him since. XD He's an amazing actor and he is lovely. [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/hyde.jpg[/IMG] Okay, [B]hyde[/B]'s older than my mom but that's not stopping me from loving him. He has a lovely voice and is ultimately just gorgeous. [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/Jade1.jpg[/IMG] Okay, enough with the Asian guys for a moment. [B]Jade Puget[/B] is awesome. [I love his hair.] 'Nuff said.[/CENTER] And I'm happy that I'm not the only one that loves [B][URL=http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/?action=view¤t=Edward.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch5]Edward Norton[/URL][/B] and [B][URL=http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/Jung-Woo/Ewan.jpg]Ewan McGregor[/URL][/B]. I don't know what it is about them, but they are just irresistible. Ewan totally surprised me with his voice in Moulin Rouge and Edward Norton just has an aura about him that just absolutely amazes me.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]Phoenix ~ August 25, 2006[/B] Soaring in that fiery bliss Sultry, seductive sayings of curiousity sink into the ever-wondering mind. Innocence clutches to my hand, never letting go. It's all too perfect, that childish naivety. Muse, my savior... release the harsh grip of Reality. It's a cycle eternal, love. The heart pulses quickly, sensations tease the nerves. "Infinity has nothing on us..." although we've had our grievances with time. It's always a beautiful morning with you. Unfortunately, that'll have to wait. "Today is better than tomorrow." However, today is over. Sweet dreams, my love. If ecstasy will have its way, love reawakens when you do.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]"Peace" ~ August 13th, 2006[/B] Coming undone, the seams that bind you together unwind as curiousity strips you defenseless. "I want see you more than anyone." Lilting notes whisper into your ear, reassuring this is real. That already excited heart pounds louder as you step forth. Truth has announced the intentions. "Even if we took it for granted, the time spent was well worth it." We'll keep these memories and we'll go on with life. Time cannot obey Love. "Even if we left alone, we were still so happy." I'll keep you in my pocket, it's where you'll always be safe. It's for you to return home. "I just want to hold you." Warm feelings that we'll never share again lay adrift in that deep sea. They're scattered throughout the wreckage that is my memory. "I'll always love you." Even if you cannot stay here with me, hold my hand and keep me warm. Illusive are those thoughts of bitterness, for I cannot find myself being sad. My Muse, My Friend, My Love I've given you wings to fly, so remember me when you return home...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Well. My full name is [B]Rhiannon Leigh Lay[/B]. [QUOTE][SIZE=1]RHIANNON Gender: Feminine Usage: Welsh, Welsh Mythology Pronounced: hri-AN-ahn (Welsh), ree-AN-un (English), REE-an-un (English) Derived from Old Celtic Rigantona meaning "great queen". In Welsh mythology Rhiannon was the goddess of fertility and the moon. This name is also borne by a princess in Welsh legends, the wife of Pwyll. [/SIZE][/QUOTE] My mother decided to name me this after the Fleetwood Mac song called "Rhiannon". [QUOTE][SIZE=1]LEIGH Gender: Feminine & Masculine Usage: English Pronounced: LEE From a surname derived from Old English leah or Middle English legh, which mean "meadow". [/SIZE][/QUOTE] Leigh is the feminine version of my grandfather's name on my mother's side. Lay was not found in the database, however, it's the only thing that my father actually had control over in my name. I don't believe there is any particular meaning to my last name, but I've also never bothered to research it. I'm perfectly fine with my first two names though. I've never met anyone else named Rhiannon. :3[/SIZE]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]I promised you that I would put in my comments. ^^ These first two parts are wonderful, Will. Your characterization [as usual] is of [B]very[/B] high-quality and your narration is is right up there as well. I also have to agree with Sakura on the whole letter thing because it gives the story a nice, believable touch. For now, that's all I'll say.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]I've been reading along, but I figured that my replies were getting a little repetitive. First and foremost, I love Will's character in this story. The way you described him brought forth a humor in the serious moments. I especially like the 'strawberry liquorice whip that he chews on so nervously' touch you gave it. That chapter was a good one. ^^ As for Chapter 5, I really enjoyed this one. Action is described flawlessly as always, Phil. Your attention to weaponry is wonderful, makes it all that more believable. And Jamie rocks. That's all I can say is that Jamie rocks. Can't wait for Agent Blayze's next test.[/SIZE]
