[FONT="Tahoma"]I certainly hope you listened to Raiha's advice. Only you can make yourself happy again. If you rely on others to lift depression or to make your day, you'll just keep running through a vicious cycle of the same problem. I'd give it more time instead of jumping into a new relationship so quickly.[/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]And for those of you advising abortion... you're forgetting to mention the option they have for giving the child up for adoption. :rolleyes: You don't have to "kill" the kid to hand the burden over to someone else who can better take care of the kid. There are a lot of married couples who can't have kids who would be thrilled to adopt. So before you even consider that option Lonley Fighter, keep in mind that abortion should be the very[I] last [/I]thing you consider, in my opinion. [/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]Another place you can check is with the city government for your town. Look it up in the white pages and give them a call. They can probably help you by letting you know which department you would need to talk to about how to get a permit. [/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]If you haven't already gotten this taken care of, the best way to find out would be to ask them directly. Find out what kind of menu they need so you can determine if it needs a more professional look or not. Since we don't know the restaurant in question or what they need, it's kind of hard to tell you just what to use. Is it suppose to be formal or informal? Is it for a children's menu (something kids can color on) or for adults? Talk to them to find out what they expect. [/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]There's one here in SLC in October that I plan on going to. Well provided I'm actually in town that weekend, I'm not sure on that yet. I'm looking forward to it since it will the first anime convention I've ever attended. :catgirl:[/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='Solo Tremaine][COLOR=#503f86']But I'd be contradicting myself if I started Font Wars and it actually worked :P[/COLOR][/quote]It looks like fun though! :D Plus, someone has to defend Tahoma from the evil Times New Roman! [/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]Wow... Gavrie was rather[I] interesting[/I] in that post. O_O I was hoping for more about his past... I just wasn't expecting it to be quite so graphic.^^ However, considering that it's a war it makes sense. I almost feel sorry for that party of vampires. If they had realized what Gavrie was capable of, I think they would have run in the other direction. Anyway, I was going to ask where Karl was but then I realized... duh, obviously he was somewhere else at the time. =P So I'll not ask something so silly. Hehe.[/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]I found this online but I don't know what anime it's from... But! It does beg the question of... won't notice what? o_O [IMG]http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/5645/vampirefl2.jpg[/IMG][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]Awww, he could never hurt someone as cute as this little girl... :D [CENTER][IMG]http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/9608/forgavin01ar1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]Of course I know about it. I live in SLC after all.^^ I don't know if I'll attend or not since I may be gone the weekend in October when the convention is being held. If I'm not, I'll probably show up just for fun since I've never been to an anime convention before. :catgirl:[/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='Ravenstorture][color=darkgreen][font=garamond]I really, really hate rhyming poetry, most of it is pretentious wank - so I force myself to write some every now and then. [/font'][/color][/quote]Well you may hate it, but you did a good job with it. ^_^ I like this line the best because it's so true. [INDENT]Words cut flesh deeper than knives can[/INDENT] Anyway, I too enjoyed reading it.[/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]Before I even touch the actual story itself, have you thought about formatting it to make it easier to read/follow? You have everything running together so that kind of disorder can be distracting. Take this here: [INDENT]"Michael!" It was my wife, Ellen. Wife? When did I get a wife? Sure, I had girlfriends, but a wife? Ellen? She was the girl I wished I could go out with. She was walking towards me with our kids. When did I have kids? Wasn't I a kid myself? "Daddy!"[/INDENT] Change that to this: [INDENT]"Michael!" It was my wife, Ellen. Wife? When did I get a wife? Sure, I had girlfriends, but a wife? Ellen? She was the girl I wished I could go out with. She was walking towards me with our kids. When did I have kids? Wasn't I a kid myself? "Daddy!"[/INDENT] See the difference, simple spacing can make a story flow better. [/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='Elk']What do OBers think about these kind of books? I like them and think they definately offer something, but at the same time sometimes I don't believe that they tell a honest to God story. I'm not sure how to explaain that feeling. [/quote]Oh I don't know, I found the Diary of Anne Frank to be a rather powerful book. I'm sure some of them are like you say and don't tell an honest story. However I'm sure some of them actually are truthful and would be interesting to read. [/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='SunfallE][COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]I also worked with Sabrina a little for Sarvel's little bit there at the end. Hehe. =P[/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote]*laughs wildly* XD I knew you were going to do something, but I would have never imagined that. XD That was completely and totally hilarious. Hehe. So, I guess that makes either Sir Darren or Sir Allamorph next! :catgirl:[/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]Moar Comics! I just love this one. :D [CENTER][IMG]http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/5030/volumebyhailnekoyashaam3.png[/IMG][/CENTER][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"]And posted! :catgirl: It only took me forever on account of how insane the weekend was. I wasn't expecting to spend most of the fourth and fifth keeping [COLOR="Indigo"]Indi[/COLOR] company in the hospital.^^ Anyway, time to get back to the ship! Or something like that. XD[/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][CENTER][B]Dead To The World[/B][/CENTER] Vampires! Phaidra could see no reason why any of them would lie but? she shook her head a bit. It still made no sense. Why would the Council lie about something like that? Why would they send Reapers in unprepared to deal with vampires? Their whole purpose was to maintain the balance of life, not carelessly throw it away like that. It just didn?t add up, she couldn?t see a reason to keep something like that under wraps. Wouldn?t it be better to deal with the problem before it got out of hand like it had in the past with the war? The whole thing was leaving her with far too many questions that she had no answer to. She looked to Sarvel who looked back, her tail twitching ever so slightly. Phaidra recognized that slight narrowing of her eyes even in her fox form. Sarvel didn?t like it either. Phaidra didn?t even realize that she had been clasping her hands together tightly until Chris spoke. ?[B]There?s no need to be so nervous[/B].? With a start Phaidra looked up into Chris? understanding gaze. ?[B]We won't take any unnecessary risks. If we can?t get enough information to know what we are facing then we?ll simply leave.[/B]? Phaidra nodded. ?[B]I just don?t understand why the Council would have sent you into something that was a death trap. Wouldn?t it be better to ask about it instead of trying to find out ourselves?[/B]? Phaidra felt awkward when the others just stared at her like she was missing something blatantly obvious. ?[B]Well wouldn?t it?[/B]? She finally asked when no one said anything. Nathan?s gaze was serious, ?[B]Don?t you think it would have been better if the Council told you that vampires still exist in the first place?[/B]? It took Phaidra a moment to see what he was getting at, but when she did, she felt rather foolish. ?[B]If they were going to inform people, they would have already done so instead of letting us think they are gone.[/B]? She sighed. ?[B]I still don?t understand.[/B]? ?[B]That?s why we?re going.[/B]? Nathan said simply before turning back to what he had been discussing with Lucia. ?[B]Right,[/B]? Phaidra shifted a bit before continuing. ?[B]You were telling me about your familiar earlier and I was wondering...[/B]? She looked from Chris to the birds, ?[B]What?s your name?[/B]? The question had barely been spoken when Phaidra and Sarvel were hit by an odd sensation as if they were being bathed in a warm summer breeze just as a cloud passed over the sun. [I]Hunh? [/I]Confused Phaidra glanced at Sarvel who looked equally as confused. How in the world could it feel like a warm summer breeze inside Nathan?s apartment at night? ?[B]That?s my familiar?s name.[/B]? Chris chuckled lightly at their baffled expressions. ?[B]Communication is done in sensory input and images instead of words.[/B]? ?[B]Oh![/B]? Phaidra was relieved. ?[B]That was kind of startling. I couldn?t figure out how I was getting that kind of impression inside at night no less.[/B]? ?[B]You get use to it after a while.[/B]? Chris leaned forward slightly. ?[B]That reminds me, you do know that elementals have the ability to sense vampire?s right?[/B]? Sarvel sat up. ?[B]What are you talking about?[/B]? This was news to her. No one had ever told her that she should be able to tell when vampires were around. [I]Did she mean?? [/I] ?[B]During the war elementals served as trackers because of their ability to sense vampires.[/B]? Chris leaned back into the seat. ?[B]It would be like finding a different type of sick spot, one that moves.[/B]? ?[B]Would it be like dead spots that move[/B]?? Sarvel?s ears slicked down against her head. ?[B]That?s one way to describe it. Vampires do give off an aura of one who has cheated death.[/B]? ?[B]So that?s what those irritating dead spots are,[/B]? Sarvel growled. Phaidra rested her right hand lightly on Sarvel?s back. ?[B]She?s been complaining to me about sensing dead spots that move since we came to Earth. I?m sure you understand how elementals feel the need to set things right so it?s been nagging at her to go and fix them ever since we arrived.[/B]? Chris nodded. ?[B]It would be best if you did not do that on your own though. Taking care of vampires isn?t as simple as sending a human on their way.[/B]? She looked directly at Sarvel. ?[B]I know it feels odd, but what you are sensing is perfectly normal for vampires. I recommend that for now you use that sensitivity to avoid them.[/B]? ?[B]Very well, for now I will do as you advise.[/B]? Sarvel replied after thinking about it for a moment. [/FONT]

Natalia sounded frustrated, something the rest of the group could relate to. It was possible that the communications tower had been fixed but both the door leading to that area as well as the center for controlling the outpost were locked. ?[B]We?ll just have to look for another way to contact the ship.[/B]? No one said anything to Gael?s statement as they ran the possibilities through their minds. Just how were they supposed to do that when it was looking like every option would be closed on account of the automatic security at the outpost? There had to be some means for them to contact the ship or someone back home, the only question in Viktor?s mind was finding it. He was certain it existed; it felt like he was overlooking something but the whisper in his mind that he had the answer refused to solidify, staying out of conscious reach. ?[B]Look we?ve been here for a while so it might be best to head to the cafeteria and get something to drink.[/B]? Viktor suggested. ?[B]I?m not really thirsty though.[/B]? Zahir objected. ?[B]I?d rather keep searching for a way to get out of here.[/B]? ?[B]So would I.[/B]? Arthur said, ?[B]But it probably wouldn?t hurt to get something.[/B]? ?[B]I?d like to get something,[/B]? Katelyn smiled worriedly. ?[B]I?m kind of hungry too; I rushed to make it for the shuttle so I didn?t get anything to eat this morning.[/B]? ?[B]Unless anyone objects lets head over to the cafeteria then.[/B]? Viktor looked at the group but no one objected, he clasped his hands together. ?[B]Alright then, we can take a brief break and start working on what we should do next.[/B]? ?[B]What is there to do?[/B]? Natalia headed down the corridor, following the signs indicating which way to go. ?[B]If we can?t get into the communications tower, unless the crew of the Von Braun realizes that we are missing, we?re stuck here.[/B]? ?[B]Not necessarily, didn?t you say the crew here was on a staff rotation?[/B]? Something was still nagging at Viktor and he thought that by discussing things he could figure out just what it was that he was forgetting. ?[B]I really don?t know.[/B]? Natalia shrugged. ?[B]I can?t think of any other reason why the outpost?s crew would have left.[/B]? ?[B]You?re forgetting to consider what caused the great disaster in the first place.[/B]? Zahir said softly. "[B]Its possible they are connected somehow.[/B]" ?[B]I wasn?t forgetting.[/B]? Natalia huffed a bit, her steps betraying a bit of irritation. ?[B]I just refuse to accept that idea that there is some conspiracy without any proof.[/B]? ?[B]If it?s a conspiracy then I doubt the government would leave proof lying around where just anyone could find it.[/B]? Arthur said dryly. ?[B]Well true,[/B]? Natalia admitted reluctantly. ?[B]I?m still not going to blindly believe just anything I hear. That would be foolish.[/B]? ?[B]I don?t think anyone is asking you to blindly believe,[/B]? Katelyn said softly. ?[B]Only that you consider the possibility.[/B]? ?[B]Why? You think there?s some truth to the rumors? Is that it?[/B]? ?[B]No.[/B]? Katelyn shook her head. ?[B]But I kind of wonder what drove that horrible terrorist group Terra Prime to do what they did when they tried to stop the Von Braun from being built and launched.[/B]? ?[B]I?m surprised to hear you say that, especially after what happened to your parents.[/B]? Natalia paused at the end of the corridor overlooking where the tables were located. Viktor noticed how Katelyn stiffed a bit at the mention of her parents, he was pretty sure what had happened, but he was not going to directly ask her such a thoughtless question. He made a mental note to check into it when they got back though. That was when it hit, checks! Of course! [B]?I know what we need to do[/B].? He smiled when the others turned to look at him. ?[B]We need to get to the escape pods. They have their own life support systems and though communications for them are limited, they have automatic distress beacons. If we can get one launched, the Von Braun will pick that up and come and retrieve the pod.[/B]? He couldn?t believe it took him so long to remember that particular detail. If they could do that, even if the Von Braun didn?t pick them up it could at least take them back to Earth.

[FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='chibi-master]Oh, just you wait! [spoiler']When you shake trees, sometimes money or furniture will come out, but there are also beehives! The bees chase you too!

[FONT="Tahoma"]I got this game last week, along with a DS. It's pretty addicting and fun to play. I didn't have the ability to use wireless until I got a hold of a usb adapter a few days later. It's really fun to visit other people's towns even though I've only visited one person.^^ One other thing though that just freaked me out the other day. Those damn large spiders and scorpions [spoiler]chase you if you miss with your net![/spoiler] O_O I haven't managed to catch one yet since I ran like crazy when I realized I had missed. >_< That just freaked me out when I realized they [spoiler]chase you.[/spoiler] At this rate I'm never going to catch one.

[FONT="Tahoma"]My family lives in Southern Utah and because my car doesn't handle freeway speeds very well I stayed put since I have a lot of friends here.

[FONT="Tahoma"]I've also learned today that people who get drunk and drive are complete and total morons. :animesigh I already knew this of course, but sometimes the sheer stupidity of the act never fails to amaze me.
