i hope i got the blood circle as a means of getting to Antarctica right. it took me a while to figure out what you were getting at when you mentioned it... and i'm still not that sure i got it right... i am not sure how they are supposed to work so i just kinda had them use it without talking about it. also, i left Cowboy in mid quote as an easy entry for the next person in my group... but if you think that's dumb i can change it... i just didn't want to write all of the crack intro.

[font="Garamond"][size="2"]Ally stepped into the room and tapped Bluâ??s shoulder [b]â??Blu? We gotta get outside with the rest of our group. its been four minutes... and though i doubt we will be left behind i would like a better reason to get on Cowboy's bad side.â?[/b] Ally walked back through the hallway and out the door into the night. She liked the moderate weather here, but the arctic did give her the chance to try out her more elaborate jackets. [b]â??Sorry you had to come and get me, Iâ??m usually fairly on the ball with these things.â?[/b] Blu Seemed to be as focused as ever, she just had a lot on her mind. [b]â??Donâ??t worry about it, I am good at keeping track of people remember?â?[/b] Ally shot her a smile, then ran on ahead to greet the rest of her team. [b]â?? I got her Cowboy, so did you decide which cars we are taking on this trip?â?[/b] [b]â??I hardly think it matters little miss Harper, as we are using a blood circle.â?[/b] Cowboy could tell she was joking with him, but he still preferred not to joke back as of now, there would be time for laughs when the mission was over, [b] â??So I suppose everyoneâ??s already to be heading off?â?[/b] Each member agreed, the group gathered and clutched onto there bags tightly. Few brought more than a backpack or a suitcase, since they expected to be taken care of at Para-1 and they hoped the trip would be short. [/size][/font][center][font="Garamond"][size="2"]==================================================== [/size][/font][/center][font="Garamond"][size="2"]The team arrived at Para-1 and were immediately greeted by the bodyguards. The group shook hands and Cowboy walked with them to discuss the groups arrangements. [b]â??Thatâ??s quite a bit of fun!â?[/b] Ally stated, as the group dusted themselves off and checked there bags. [b]â??I can't say I like it as much as you do allyâ?¦ you donâ??t really use Blood circles much do you?â?[/b] Eun Jung replied with a smile. [b]â??I am just glad we got here in one pieceâ?¦ I am never sure how those things work at long distances, feels like one of my mornings after a night on the townâ?[/b] Phil was not too excited with getting this close to the spirit world again, though he hid it well. Cowboys discussion with the bodyguards ended and he reproached the rest of the group. Ally of course took the first word [b]â??so whatâ??s the vacation itinerary Cowboy?â? [/b] [b] â??You ought to listen before speaking miss Harper, I will tell you all about how this mission, not the vacation you recently enjoyed, is going to be settled. Also, when are you going to dye your hair something normal?â?[/b] [b]â??That would be never,â? [/b]she beamed. Cowboy had to wipe the look of disdain from his face before continuing..[b] â??We have been permitted full access to the facilities, and I have a key card for each of you, there is plenty of room here since this place is located in the most unpleasant part of the living world I have been to since I left the service. We areâ?¦â?[/b][/size][/font]

I cant even begin to tell you guys how much i love this band. I have known about them for two wweeks now and they have already climbed into my top ten favorites. [u] Letters to Cleo[/u]: Awake [size="3"]I wish we had a laugh... but you're just not funny Baby, I'm leaving out the... irony[/size] this line is just so clever, and when you hear it you wish you could have said it a hundred times before. Disappear [size="3"]What would you do for me my sweet cherubic baby?[/size] i just like cherubic as an adjective. the way Kay Hanley sings this part just sounds so playful, then she proceeds to bash the guy through the rest of the song. Pizza Cutter [size="3"]I was on you side and I can't believe that it's coming back to haunt me. You were on that side too and I can't, no I can't go back and save you. Why didn't you do as you were told? Why didn't you just go home? And what you got in the bag? [/size] This song might be considered a little odd.. but when lyrics like this matter is when your not really in the right frame of mind anyway. I would add the entire song of you dirty rat here too... but i think i made my point clear... great band for break-ups!

what are you talking about? the only acronyms he understands are [size="5"][b][size="7"][color="#ff0000"]U[/color][/size][size="7"][color="#c0c0c0"]S[/color][/size][size="7"][color="#0000ff"]A[/color][/size]![/b][/size]

You're only girly if you have a banner like mine, which obviously covers up some serious insecurities.[/font] [/quote] though there is something macho about a hamster with a heart for adventure, you cant knock yourself for having a banner slightly cooler than yourself. it happens all the time... as for me i have a banner much cuter then myself (though i think i look dashing in a scarf)

[quote name='Sangome' date='20 July 2010 - 03:01 PM' timestamp='1279663306' post='697542'] [color="#9932cc"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"] I got married in the fall [it was a tossup between Jin, Julius, and Chase, but since the latter two won't move in 'til later, I picked Jin...and I'm absolutely glad I did <333], and uh. Yeah.[/font][/color] [/quote] aww! blue feathers always make my day. I am happy for you! as for me i picked up mass effect.. and though the game is increasingly long... i am probably going to mass effect two pretty soon. it feels like a rpg... but at the same time a shooter. i like both game styles so i am going crazy with this one. mass effect two looks more like its going to be a lot more shooter... i am nnot too upset with this. I like these games... a good story does appeal to me once and a while.

[quote name='Heaven's Cloud' date='20 July 2010 - 07:32 AM' timestamp='1279636378' post='697515'][color="indigo"] you need to be the one to extend the olive branch.[/color] [/quote] i am glad that work for someone... i swear i have tried almost exactly that (my jokes were pretty lame too) its pro'lly just my luck... but even when i fiigure the worst could happen i usually try eventually. it is far better to fail than to never try (i have done both so i can compare it)

of course you watched them both... they were awesome. perhaps not the most compelling shows in the world, but you could just sit down and watch 'em. most shows need plot or character build up, requiring dedication to the show. these ones just entertained you.

i have maintained relationships after i dated them and it didn't work, but after being rejected, i can only think of one person and i haven't talked to her in at least six months. how do you not let a rejection be awkward? i could use the help on that one personally. I usually stay friends for a while... but unless the girl changes her mind the whole thing usually dies on me. any advice on that one?

[quote name='AvalonAngel' date='20 July 2010 - 06:16 AM' timestamp='1279631796' post='697501'] [font="Garamond"]SINCE WHEN IS ENJOYING HAMTARO LIMITED TO GIRLS? I know the whole lot of you watched Sailor Moon too, you manly men. [/font] [/quote] its not limited to girls... but is i think a show devoted to cuddly creatures falls under the girly category... its certainly no football game (though i do have the urge to by a 24 pack and invite some friends over to watch it... i'm wondering if they will stay for the beer) yeah... i watched sailor moon... mostly cause it was on WB right before cartoon networks toonami started (and for us pacific time people school was no issue) but i didnt follow it well... it was just really conviniant that the same plot was used at every point in the series... that + lots of girls = easy watching. as for my prior "badboy" image... i really said most of the things for reactions. this forum is lightyears away from every other forum i have been on... i wasnt quite sure what i was doing here honestly... but when i realized i liked everyone here i laid off the stupid pranks. now i just joke around to have fun rather than make loads of trouble. (though i feel as if i still have a bit of a reputation... and i enjoy it)

(insert entire page of uncontrollable laughter here) you thought i was the manly type? Magus... the only reason why i call myself a man is the dangly parts that are constantly getting in my way. not that I am very lady-like ether... i just happen to enjoy a lot of very girly things...

thank you Miss A. I do love the show... it was too adorable not to like... though it always made me crave sunflower seeds (the way those hams chowed down on 'em they must be great,) i went so far as to take a girl to prom because she had a pic on her binder. (dated her for two years after that)

this poem really cheered me up! ...just messing with you... but it was good... I would post my own but i get terribly embarrassed.

[quote name='Lilt' date='19 July 2010 - 06:27 PM' timestamp='1279589246' post='697472'] [b]Christmas comes early then. *Girl hugs once more while passing a sugar tree cookie* And you're welcome, CaNz. I'll be glad to see your new banner then. I hope it was nice to see San Francisco again at least. Also, I meant to say that I've been there a few times. Another friend of mine was also born there so I visit her when I can. It's one of my favorite cities actually.[/b] [/quote] how can i possibly stay sad when you keep hugging me? ^_^ its a good city to have friends at. there are a ron of tourist attractions they can show you, and they will have fun 'cause locals never do them. the city was great, i love how full of life it is, and with all the people making the trip there, as well as the lifestyle of the city... its the most diverse place i have ever been. how do you like the banner? that would be SF Hamtaro is crushing!

maybe to us it isn't great, but i still think there is a place for it... there are certain things i dont think people can be criticized(or sent into space to die) for, music choice is one of them. The fact of the matter is that disney brings these people up to the mainstream because they are liked by those they cater to (24 year old men haven't been disney's biggest viewer margin in a while im afraid) so you in particular arnt meant to like the music. but your niece probably flips out every time she hears a song. just seeing how crazy the younger members of my family get is enough to give her a pass in my book.

[quote name='Lilt' date='19 July 2010 - 06:13 PM' timestamp='1279588431' post='697469'] [b] *Girl hugs you anyways*[/b] [/quote] your the best Lilt. im feeling a bit better anyways, i ought to make a new banner to get rid of this depressing one now. (and i will take one of those cookies... i love the sugar ones with trees in them.)

if she dose go to the movies with your friends, introduce her as your friend, (i would let the rest of your friends know that you are trying to date this girl... so they don't make her feel uncomfortable) obviously, sit next to her and keep her included with the group. as far as winning her over wise... you still have to figure out her feelings before telling her yours. however if she doesn't know you like her after this you might want to give hints. What i mean by this is you don't come on to her, but you express interest, like saying things like how pretty she is, or something else along those lines. if she responds well to complements, keep giving them to her. if she just gives a casual thanks, she could be trying to tell you something. what you dont want to do is force her into a take-it-or-leave-it deal. if her friendship is important to you, put effort into finding out her feelings for you, rather than just confessing yours and hoping it all works out.

[/quote] i hope you can get a job after school, if not there is no hope for me. and as far as a Christmas vacation goes... if i am lucky enough to get a family, gifts will come second, vacation will be most important... that way we have something to do every Christmas.

then i will get you something special Korey. as for me its usually a day were i put on my best fake impressions of how much i like what i get... its not too hard because just getting anything means they cared, and i know how hard it is to shop for people... it takes me forever to by people presents.... maybe i am a grinch... but i think it would be more fun to pool all the christmas money into a vacation with the extended family... that way we can care for ne another... do something we all like, and spend exactly as much money as we want.
