[COLOR="Indigo"]Another great one from Des. This is from the show Hatenkou Yugi.[/COLOR] [CENTER][IMG]http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/4805/hatenkouyugipw2.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]

[COLOR="Indigo"]It's tied in to me being the evil daughter of Des. I can't tell you the meaning, because if I did, I'd have to kill you.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"]There's a meaning behind this poem, though only to certain eyes. [CENTER]Cute Precious and dear The sexy brat is near Sweetly tormenting voice Captivatingly adorable[/CENTER][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Wait a minute. So we were all standing under, and looking up at a rain of...WHAT?! *mental scrubbers* Oh that's just gruesome. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]Well I'm assuming that was going on where Alecia and Alexander were located since so many ships were coming apart right above their location. But I suppose it could have happened when the Liberator came apart as well. Just think of what's on the roof of that garden shed... Also, great posts Beth, Kathy and Gavin. I love how they've expanded on the battle. I think the whole thing needed more and those really add to the story. Oh and I have nothing else to add until my final post so I'm good to go. :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Odin M Yggdrasi']Btw, nice Zelos avatar.[/QUOTE]Even though you're talking to SunfallE, I did make that for her and it's not Zelos. It's Ryu from the BL game White Shadow. :p Glad you like it though. And since I am in here. I would not just let someone kill me, even if I did love them. Because if they are trying to kill me... I'd wonder if loving them was worth it at that point. I just don't see it happening.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]I don’t imagine this’ll be the last poem on yesterday’s fun, but I suppose I should be the one to post about relief now that it’s all back to normal again. Heh. ^_^[/SIZE][/QUOTE]I'm sure a lot of people are glad the prank is over. I know I'm glad to have my original cd back for my portable player. [CENTER]Compact Disk Diminutive in nature Spinning in a frantic circle Pure music; boisterous and lively Original recording[/CENTER] Such a relief to have my copy I made with all my favorite Nightwish songs from the two albums I have back. Gods, that other disk... *shudder*[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"]You're such a brat Gavin, you and everyone who was in on that prank. As for the browser one by Aceburner, lets just say that they should be grateful the University program I was logged into has an automatic save feature so getting forcibly logged out didn't delete all my work. Because otherwise, if I really had lost over an hour's worth of essay homework, someone would have been murdered for that. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial][B]Left Behind[/B] was one of the strongest in the series, incidentally; although I kind of liked the approach they took, their characters [I]did[/I] get kind of worn out and stale by the fourth and fifth, so I quit following. Plus, later on in the series, LaHaye and co-author Jerry B. Jenkins didn't thresh out their story as thoroughly as they did in the first one or two. It gets kind of choppy and "lolwut" every now and again.[/FONT][/QUOTE]I actually checked that series out because I was curious about it. And I have to agree, the further along you get, the more worn and stale it becomes. I never bothered to finish it. I already dislike that type of story anyway, so it took very little for me to decide to quit. And yes I know you're probably wondering why I even started it. It was given to me, the first five or six, I forget which. So I gave it a token trial as it were. Anyway, I finished up the other book I was reading and now picked up something for fun instead. [B]Magic Kingdom for Sale -- SOLD![/B] by Terry Brooks. I heard that compared to his other books it was a lighter format and of course a totally different storyline than his Shannara series so I figured I'd give it a run. Basically... The book begins with Ben Holiday, a trial lawyer from Chicago, lamenting the loss of his wife and unborn child when he finds an advertisement in a Christmas catalog advertising a magical kingdom for sale for exactly one million dollars. Feeling in need of a life change and having nothing to lose he inquires and eventually buys the advertised kingdom of Landover from Meeks under a few conditions: - He has to live there for one year otherwise it will revert ownership back to Meeks. - He can't take anyone with him. - He has ten days to "examine" the kingdom without obligation and a 95% refund. I haven't gotten that far, but it's already clear that the Kingdom in question or rather deal is not what it seems. Not surprising of course, but at least interesting. If it continues along that line, I'm thinking it will be a fun read. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"]If there's one thing I've learned, it's that Des always knows about all the coolest videos out there on the net. It's almost creepy at times. Heh. Anyway, if I had known about this, I would have posted this sooner on account of it being one of the coolest April Fools Day pranks pulled yesterday, but alas, I did not. Still I'm going to share it with you just the same... enjoy!

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Shy'][size=1]I actually really, really like this song. Next time I see Des online I'm bugging him for the MP3. And the dancing anime characters are amusing. I want a new OB skin featuring them. Now. -Shy[/size][/QUOTE]Seconded, we should have an all pink skin to go with the dancing duo, and what would make it perfect is if the signatures and avatars stayed the same whenever you use that skin. :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"]I won't have to worry about someone pulling the fire alarm like you mentioned MistressRoxie, but then I live in a basement apartment. Anyway, I don't have plans just yet or rather the ones I'm considering, I haven't decided which one to use. And since some of the intended victims are members here and even moderate this section... obviously I can't say more. Anticipation is great though so I'm posting just for that reason alone. :p In the past... one of the most memorable I ever did was putting the booze at a party in a different container and then filling the bottles with apple juice. I don't drink myself, but watching the others go to have some and then making faces before spitting out the apple juice was priceless. [SIZE="4"] [SIZE="5"][B][U]EDIT:[/U][/B] [/SIZE]By the way people, do yourself a favor and don't click on what [SIZE="5"]Aceburner[/SIZE] just posted unless you want to lose [U]everything[/U] you are doing in firefox since you'll have to close it and restart the program.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Sabrina'][FONT="Tahoma"]>_> I know Sir Allamorph will understand the motivation behind this poem. XP[/FONT][/QUOTE]He's not the only one who will understand that. Heh.

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Zen'][color=darkred][size=1]What is your opinion on military service? Would you ever serve in your military? What's your opinion on the military?[/color][/size][/QUOTE]It's fine if that's what you want to do. I myself have no interest in serving and since I deal with asthma, I wouldn't qualify anyway. As for the military in general, sure I'm aware of it, recruiting is pretty obvious around here with Hill Air Force Base being only 29 miles north of where I live. I don't have a super positive image of the military nor do I have a negative one either. I think that like any career, if it suits you, it's a good way to get an education and to do something for your country at the same time. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"]Before we get off on the wrong tangent here, no one is withholding information. One doesn't post every single detail that's going to happen in the backstage if it's not needed. I prefer to [I]not[/I] spoil what's coming if it's not necessary. All that happened was a case of not realizing that part of the information hadn't been forwarded to James. It was a simple misunderstanding, not some planning that required details here to keep others from posting. Other than a few of us, no one can even post about what's going on in the Sentinel and I already said that Malkav would be posting next here:[quote name='indifference'][COLOR="Indigo"]And now that I killed myself with my last post. [B]It's up to [U]Malkav[/U] to finish up[/B]. I mean... that took [I]way[/I] to long. Even if I am happy with how it turned out. Heh.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]So I[I] did[/I] post what was coming up, that Malkav would be posting next on the deal with the [I]Sentinel[/I]. So that request to post in the backstage with one's intent was followed and a reminder to do that was not needed. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='James'][font=franklin gothic medium]Sorry for the delay in posting yet again. I was working on a post but I realized that I have no idea what has happened to Jack. One moment he's fighting Harrison...and then Harrison is with Daedalus.[/font][/QUOTE]Gavin's post coincides with the first part of my post James. He's merely following up on what Daedalus was thinking, it's kind of like a recap, to fill in the time line of what Daedalus experienced before leaving the ship. The part where Harrison is with Jack and the others is what's current. There is no with Daedalus and then with Jack and then back with Daedalus again. Those two segments are the same moment, first told from Harrison's point of view, then from Daedalus' point of view. And then when Daedalus fought against Litheway, that's likely happening at the same time Harrison encountered Jack.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='MistressRoxie'][color=#9933ff]Indifference: As I said to Raiha, I have seen the movie, and I was well aware of the Nobokovian definition of "lolita" long before I knew about the Japanese fashion. Please see above paragraphs, etc., etc. Sometimes a word can mean two different things, and in that case it's generally confusing to which one is which. This is one of those times, lol.[/color][/QUOTE]You've missed my point it seems. You can't go and have a style of fashion as it were and expect people to not associate it with the fact that the name "Lolita" has entered pop culture to describe a sexually precocious young girl. For half a century that term has come to mean just that. So anyone who thinks they can just say[I] oh it's not about that at all...[/I] is forgetting that no matter what they say, others will see it in that light. Especially since there are just as many sites where one can buy clothing in that style that[I] is [/I]for pornographic usage. Something that naturally I will not link to here on account of the content. The point is that the meaning for Lolita came about [I]before[/I] the attempt to turn it into a more legitimate style of fashion. And that's an association that isn't going to just go away by hearing others claims or reading sites like wiki on it. Almost everyone I know hears the word Lolita and they don't think [I]oh its that newer fashion[/I], they think, oh... [I] porn[/I]. It's going to take more than a few decades for that association to change if it does at all. After all... choice of words and associations to said words is important, so you have to wonder what the person who started it was thinking when they chose to use the name Lolita. I see the association as a self inflicted problem really.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"]All right brat, since you pounced on me this morning with that banner request of yours, I'll sign up as well. Poetry contests that don't require being a poet... should be interesting. Now if only Gavin would sign up so I can face off against him. :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Gavin;808890][SIZE="1"]Oh, so right. That was just low Crys.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]It was meant to be a friendly poke. [quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"']I get the feeling we might end up in a circle here.[/SIZE][/quote]True, but not in the way you're thinking.

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]I guess that means I should return the favour right ? ^_~ [INDENT]Crys, Loyal, kind friend Certainly reading this now Pity she's a fangirl Brat.[/INDENT] Heh heh, I'm sure I'll get one back in retaliation now.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]Naturally, and I know just the thing since it will only make sense to you. Hehe. [CENTER]Gavin Kind and friendly Wondering what's new Sadly, he has more to do Fourteen [/CENTER] *laughs because she knows she's [I]so[/I] going to get something in return for that.*[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"] For me, I think questions 3 and 6 really summed up the quiz.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]Three and six are where I got my two Care points from. I do find it funny that the quiz describes the Justice style as being more common of men than women. Maybe later I'll follow the link for more info on that since I'm sure it would be an interesting read. What I liked best about this quiz as it were, was the lack of annoying popus and advertising and [I]take this stupid survey [/I]just to get your results nonsense. I have no patience for that kind of thing online. Heh.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Mr. Maul'][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Isn't this thread awfully similar to "[B][url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=57779]What Are You Listening To?[/url][/B]"?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]Not really, listening to a song doesn't automatically equal being obsessed with it. :p Though that reminds me that I probably should go and trim some songs out of my play list altogether since there's plenty in there that other than a few times... I'm sick of hearing already. Unlike the Nightwish I mentioned earlier in this thread, the more I hear that, the more I like it. Hence my listing it as an obsession. You could also say the same about some of Depeche modes music, though that's not a recent obsession. I have my moments when it is, like the other day, I was listening to all my cd's of that off and on all day.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][B]Care Score: 2 Justice Score: 7[/B] Hmmm, no surprise there. Not that I don't care but rather I am well acquainted with working in a system where caring doesn't equate to ignoring the rules in order to do so. Like that site says abut the style: [INDENT][SIZE="1"]An "ethic of justice or rights" is based on abstract, impersonal principles, like justice, fairness, equality or authority. People who prefer this style see ethical dilemmas as involving primarily a conflict of rights that can be solved by the impartial application of some general principle. The statue "Justice Blindfolded" captures this approach very well. People with this style tend to place a good deal of weight on moral principles, laws or policies, which they believe should be applied to all equally. They usually do not like making exceptions based on special circumstances, and they worry about "setting precedents."[/SIZE][/INDENT] In many ways, that's the only way you can function doing what I do. Thinking about stepping out of that box is a dangerous place to go because legally, you often can't do that. No matter how much you might want to. Sadly. [/COLOR]
