Stormbringer

I got mine in the mail almost a month ago. I thought it was pretty spiffy, actually. The Mini CD is the exact size that the Mini DVDs will be/are, and so is the case

Does this mean that everyone who hasn't seen my picture thinks I look like a sword???? Cuz that's where I got my name from.....

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by coolkam007 [/i] [B].... .. alot of people have their pictures posted.. *gets an ingenious idea* gwahah.. :D [/B][/QUOTE] *groan* Not again.........

this game was WONDERFUL to play on the PSX2

Of course you haven't. Before these, you've only seen my senior pictures ^_^x If I can pry open the framed picture of us, then I'll scan it too. But it's a bugger of a frame to open (can't imagine how Stacy opened it to stick the photo inside)

[QUOTE][B]I have a question. Of course, I'm still in high school and I totally agree with the love thing. I cannot tell someone I love them unless I feel there is something special there that is not just physical attraction. But anyway. Would you consider it love when you CONSTANTLY think about the other person...and they are all that matters to you and you want to just revolve your life around that person? Because I had someone like that. And when we broke up, I couldn't sleep and I just cried and I lost my appetite for a week. I've NEVER had that kind of reaction to anything and it really scared me. But we got back together and our "love" (if you say that's what I might have) was really strong. Is this true love? And I truly loved reading your post. I want to be your best friend so you can give me advice on everything. [/B][/QUOTE] It could very well be love. At first glance it looked a bit like infatuation, but when I read it again, I got more and more notices that your feeling is love. And really, you can't be told by anyone that you're in love, it's something that only you can figure out, although I hope that this helps you. [quote][b]Love is pain, plain and simple. There's nothing else to it. Nothing good has ever come from this so-called "love". "Love" comes in stages, and it may see really good at first, but pain is all that is left behind in the end. It starts with the beauty of love this is where everything is perfect, you're both happy, you both "love" each other, it's the most perfect utopia. Although, then follows the betrayal of love. One's feelings aren't what they seem and they go towards another person, or just away from you. You are unaware of this at the time. Finally, the heartbreak of love. The one of whom you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with leaves you, after he/she has been hiding his/her betrayal behind your back for some time, and you finally either find out, or they tell you. That is how it is, was, and ever will be. Love is a vicious cycle, much like life itself.[/b][/quote] It sounds like you've had some unfortunate experiences in the relationship department.... But I have to disagree with you about love being nothing but pain, and how nothing good ever comes from it. Yes, there are always times when love can bring pain to someone's life, but if you truly love someone, someone who is right for you that would never intentionally hurt you, things always turn out good in the end. [quote][b]No offense to anyone but Im tired of poeple saying its impossible for teenagers to know true love. Thats completly wrong.[/b][/quote] I never said it was impossible, I just said that it's very rare that it happens. You and Cam are both fine examples of this. [quote][b]Its just something you know when it happens.[/b][/quote] Amen to that. I've tried explaining it to the best of my abilities, but love is different for everyone. What I posted above is just how I feel love is. And truth be told, I'm adding more and more to that part every day or so. As far as this whole losing a love thing, I know it's painful, and I know it's one of the hardest things in life. I went through it when Stacy and I broke up last year, as a matter of fact. It hurt more than anything in the world, but now that we're back together the memory of that loss and pain are completely gone. It can heal, all you have to do is give it time. Also, if you lose a love, then maybe that person isn't the right one for you. Finding that one person is half the pain in life, but it's also half the fun. Thankfully this isn't turning rotten. It's really cool that so many of you have different feedback to add.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lotus [/i] [B] Is it like when two souls became one? Each can feel for each other. [/B][/QUOTE] Personally, I much prefer the term "Life Bonded" over soul mate. Basically, when two people are life bonded, they become as one person. They feel for each other, as you said, they can always tell what the other is feeling, and stuff like that. To find your life bonded is a great gift. If you really wanna read more about it, check out The Last Herald Mage books by Mercedes Lackey. It touches on being life bonded a little in each of the three books. When I get back from Thanksgiving break, I'll try to post some excerpts in this topic

yeah, sorry about that James. I just found one of the older ones ^_^; I'll try to look for similar topics next time, and thanks for your comments.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Darkness [/i] [B]i know this emotion all too well. what i want you to tell me is how will you react if your love is taken from you. i know how i reacted. In my eyes, you don't truly know love until you've been hurt by it. [/B][/QUOTE] Well, in a way I lost my love once. Shortly after our breakup last year, I realized that I'd fallen in love with Stacy.... but now we're back together, so everything's great. How would I react? Probably about the same as I did last year, but on a much larger scale. Honestly, I would probably die. Either physically or mentally, I would cease to exist. She means everything to me, nothing else really matters.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ~Mystical Pan~ [/i] [B]that's kewl! You gonna post htem here when you get them? [/B][/QUOTE] Of course I will. I shouldn't have too much trouble convincing Stacy to have some pictures taken. Lately she's been less camera shy if I'm in the pic too. Just gotta wait a couple weeks to use up the film and develop it. [quote][b]The second pic is somewhat better. So how long have you two been dating?[/b][/quote] We dated for about 2 weeks last year at the beginning of November, then broke up but stayed good friends, and now we've been dating for 4 months since July.

Just some thoughts I had a couple months ago before I left for college. Hopefully this won't offend anyone. I've looked it over a few times to get rid of anything remotely offensive, so it should work out. ________________________ Anyone mind telling me what these humans? problem with love is? Anyone? No takers, huh? Well then, I guess I?ll just have to try and figure this one out myself. Here goes nothing, which ironically, is what most people mistake to be love. I can honestly say that I have felt love. Not this silly highschool **** that gets thrown around as love, no. I truly LOVE someone. The Highschool brand of love is just hormones. Two people feel attracted to each other, and they enjoy each other?s presence. They say that they love each other, which sometimes might be true, but not likely. The frame of mind of a teenager is rarely capable of manifesting an understanding of what it is to love someone. What these kids experience is a crush. A purely hormonal attraction (mostly physical) that induces illusions that they "love" the other person. That?s not love, that?s pitiful. Yes, sometimes two people actually love each other and they share that love with each other. Sadly, this case is very rare until humans reach the age of somewhere in their twenties, when they no longer think primarily about sex. They have total control of their hormones and can understand their emotions, giving them access to the prized emotion known as love. I am a rare case in the fact that I love someone. I love her, everything about her, I am IN LOVE with her, and I?m happy to know that. She knows I love her, and I tell her often. Stacy says that she doesn?t know if she?s in love with me or not, but she does love me on a certain level (there is a difference between loving someone and being in love with them, mind you), and I?m perfectly fine with that. Stacy is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Now onto what I feel love is. Love, as I already stated, is an emotion, pure and simple. When you love someone, no one else matters. Not their feelings, not their ideas, not their state of being, nothing. Only the person you love matters to you. You constantly want to be with them, you only feel content when you?re around them or think about them, and when you are with them you never want to leave. You notice the smallest details about them, their life, their very being. You can always tell when they?re near you, even if you can?t see them. Their presence can calm your most violent rages, and their touch can: cause your heart to beat uncontrollably, awaken you from the deepest slumber, or even make you fall asleep no matter how tense you may be. Every fiber of their existence feels right to you, they are the perfect compliment to your life. Loosing them would be the destruction of your entire world and life, gaining them through marriage would make your soul euphoric for eternity. They are always in your thoughts, even the little ones at the back of your mind. They rule your subconscious, they?re always in your prayers and dreams. You sometimes visit them just for the sake of seeing them before you go home to sleep. They?re in your first thought when you wake up, and in your last thought when you fall asleep. You would do anything to prevent harm to them, both physical, mental, and spiritual. You would give up family and friends if they didn?t accept the person you love. You would give your life to save theirs, because ultimately your life IS theirs. But why does the generic term "love" get thrown around like a cheap whore? Simply put, because humans are stupid animals. They have their good points about them, but they can only understand so much. Love just wasn?t one of the things that all humans were given the ability to understand, experience, and cherish. So, love gets downgraded to a hormonal imbalance in teenagers that are hornier than an adult rhino in heat, and no one ever bothers to come along and correct this stupid mistake. I can only do so much, but eventually I may just get fed up and stop trying. Stormy-kun

I stand by my saying "The only cute cars are toys" When I'm outta college, I'm getting either a red Mitsubishi 3000GT, a black Dodge Avenger or Honda S2000, or a blue Acura NSX What I really want to get is a red Jaguar XJ220 or a black Dodge Viper RT10, but that won't happen in my life.

I'd go back to feudal Japan and become a samurai or ronin. Either that, or go back in time to China and train under the Shao Lin and learn all their techniques, including the Golden Bell tech. And of course, I'd go back a couple years and see hide in concert before he died. I'd want to go to all his concerts, during and after X Japan.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by coolkam007 [/i] [B]oh ****.. heres stormy the love-nazi.. lol j/p ... storms got some good things to say about love :) he always does.. awe.. asuka.. i'm sorry.. :( .. i still wuv you [/B][/QUOTE] Mostly good, only a very few things not so good (mainly that it irritates me when people talk about how they "love" someone when they truly don't). I'll have to post my really big paper on Love sometime.

honestly, I think some people take the term "Soul Mate" for granted. It means so much more than someone that you love. You're...... I dunno....... connected to each other on a much deeper level than emotions and love.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]If you would have smiled in the first pic!!!!!!!!! I might have liked it.... better.... I do like the second one though.... :) You two do look cute together...[/B][/QUOTE] Alright.... look. Her mom caught me off guard in the first one! Stacy grabbed me by the waist, spun me around, and *flash* goes the camera. I hope to have more pictures of us by the end of these upcoming holidays. Maybe a few before Xmas (I leave for relatives then), definately some at New Years and Thanksgiving. I get to eat at her house for one of my dinners!

nah, Paint Thinner or Terpentine will take that stuff right off ^_^x

I wish you the best of luck and safety until this blows over.

lol Cam, I have the same problem. My hair was extremely curly in my younger-aged years. Then it sorta straightened out when I had it short. Now that it's longer, it's really wavy. Well, I should say it USED to be wavy. (now that it's been cut again, I can't do jack squat with it ;_;) Anyways, I use a shampoo called Control Freak and it's made by a brand called Bed Head or something like that. It works, trust me.

o.Ox The Oracle games aren't the only ones for Gameboy. Link's Awakening came out on Gameboy a few [U]years[/U] before the Gameboy Color did.

These are two pictures of me with my girlfriend Stacy One is at homecoming this past October, the other is at her cousin's wedding last July. My scanner make everything way more red than it should be, though. Probably should have scanned my larger homecoming pic instead of the wallet.... oh well [url]http://jikannohizumi.net/banners/stevestacy.jpg[/url] [url]http://jikannohizumi.net/banners/stevestacy2.jpg[/url] Ain't we cute together? ^_^x

Just sushi Honestly, I've had every kind of sushi known to man, except Blowfish, which I plan to try within the next 5 years.

Don't give her any signals that you want something to happen between you two. Just keep developing the friendship as it is - Just a friendship. If your friend Justin questions you, just be honest with him (but leave out the part that you like the girl). If he's as good a friend as I think he is, he'll understand.

It all kinda depends on what genre of music you like. But I'd go try and download Chop Suey anyways
