[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Final Flash [/i] [B]It sure is. ^_^[/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]I [i]so[/i] saw that one coming..... Heh. It's kind of weird, my family always goes over to my grandparents farm...I mean, every year, bar none. But this year, we're going up north. So, it's just....weird. Ya.[/SIZE]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=royalblue]I mean really, they are all part of the same category in a sense.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]I resent that. :p [edit]My apologies. I resent that, in a humorous way, as I have always viewed books as being 'above' movies and television. Bah. It's not as funny anymore. :p[/edit][/SIZE]

[size=1]Thanksgiving, I'll be going up to Eau Claire. Family stuff. ...it sounds like some kind of dessert. o_0.[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mnemolth [/i] [B]Hmm.....someone's been in the belly of their beast for far too long. Methinks Jonah should get out and get a new perspective. :D[/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]Begging thy pardon?[/SIZE]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by vegeta rocker [/i] [B]Actually im a senior and i read Julius Caesar when i was in jr high. What can i say, I'm a geek. [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]Julius Caesar is required reading for most Sophomore Literature courses. And while I;m sure it would be.....ah......[i]interesting[/i] to meet all of you-all, I'd proably end up trying to kill a few of you...so, scratch that idea. Murder's still illegal where I live.[/SIZE]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mnemolth [/i] [B]They (yes [i]they[/i] are infamous) say that you are only as old as you feel. I guess by that yardstick you're....about a hundred?? ;) Well, its not so bad I'm about three... :D [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]Ah. Good to know I still have to watch my step around here.... Thought you'd disappeared.[/SIZE]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by The Unholy Newt [/i] [B][Description] Short brown hair with bleached tips. Wears a lot of black. Mainly long black trenchcoats and combat boots.[/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]Nooo! [i]I[/i] want a trenchcoat! *pouts* [Name] Banshee [What you look like] Teenage girl with dog collar, black clothes, and spiked purple hair with snow-white streaks. [Trenchcoat?] YES!!!! [Age] Teenage, I guess? [personality] Warped sense of humor and/or reality. [What type of towel you carry] Black on black with black polka-dots. [Bio]Originally was looking for some luggage misplaced on an intergalactice flight, gave up--who knows where it ended up, or if it still exists! Wanders around, doing nothing important. [Idea for first mission] Find the place where the missing socks from the laundry go. :whoops:[/SIZE]

[size=1]heh...I love the concept. Please do write it, and let me know when you do. ;)[/size]

[size=1]Heh, actually....no. But I'm honored that you should think so...or something.[/size]

[size=1]No-Life [i]used[/i] to be 1000+ That was v1. The boards were....considerably smalller..... Oy. I feel old.[/size]

[size=1]Jenna, your posts are...violently....pink. o0 Erh, well.. I'm bored, so I'll answer the modding question. Even tho' it no longer applies to me. ;) Moderating... Huh. I did it because...well, it had to be done. And I was never technically [i]asked[/i] to do it, I just sort of ended up on the mod list one day. I did enjoy it for quite a while, even after the novelty wore off. But as I vaguely lost interest in--and control of--the area I modded...well, things went downhill. Rapidly. So the modding itself was a pain... But the staff interaction was great fun. ^_^ ::waves to everyone who's still on staff:: You guys have infinite patience. [/size]

[b]They could say something to you, and you would be totally oblivious to what it meant.[/b] [size=1]Teh, happens to me all the time. Stupid computer nerds. Stupid me for hanging out with them all the time. o0[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Matt [/i] [B][color=red][b]In Matt's sophomore year, he WAS Caesar. Matt likes to talk in the 3rd person much like Caesar. So Matt was picked to be Caesar. Matt did a mighty fine job, but his class mates seemed too eager to kill him. :shifty::shifty:[/b][/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]::giggles:: I was Mark Antony. Heh. Gotta love the sarcastic speech. "And he is an [i]honorable[/i] man..." There are things I would like to do, someday...but I'd be fine if I died tonight, or tomorrow. Most things are too far way to take seriously. I guess I'd like to meet Ginneh and Shy. [/SIZE]

[size=1]Well, I probably would have been doing something more constructive in my free time...then again, perhaps not. I doubt I would have gotten to know Ginny, for one. She's pulled me through more stuff than she knows. Shyguy gives me someone to looks out for and rant at, and....he really is a great friend. ::waves at Shy:: And the people who have served as 'guidance counselors' to me this past year: Justin, Deus Ex, and Shaun. Thanks, guys. Eh.. In general, OB gives me something to do with my free time, and a stepping-off point for the rest of the web. [Home sweet home....or something.] How I post determines how I am thought of. I can be absolutely ridiculous, a jerk, funny, rude, sweet, or almost anything else...and no one would be the wiser. I am what I let you guys see.[/size]

[size=1]Swindlers? Please. Christmas is a major retail holiday. Why? [i]Because people buy things.[/i] Stores make big deals and promotions about Christmas. Why? [i]Because people buy things.[/i] Seasonal items are being set out earlier and earlier. Why? [i]Because people buy things.[/i] They aren't going to continue to do something that doesn't make them a profit. If the public will buy Christmas stuff in early November, then by gosh, the public is going to have every opportunity for it! So perhaps the idea here is not merely disgust at stores ["They're trying to make money! Good gosh! It's as tho' that's how they stay in business or something!"], but that enough people buy into it for the whole thing to become an issue.[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by wrist cutter [/i] [B]I think it'd be kind of strange, myself. [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]Your bluntness makes me smile.[/SIZE]

[size=1]It's happened to me a few times in the past. Not often, but enough that I automatically glance at the bottom of the main page to check for them.[/size]

[size=1]I've never dated....anyone. So I guess the issue has never come up.[/size]

[size=1]Hugs all around, for those of you who want them. I've never had any major family problems. No big things...just little things that wear you down. But really, my home life has always been....very sheltered. I used to call it perfect. I know better, now. And even now, family problems are not--or no longer-- an issue. I just wish I could get everything else resolved. I wish I were five. I liked Kindergarten.[/size]

[size=1]Ginny skidded into the kitchen behind Arthur. "Molly?" Molly gestured to the television her husband had tried to set up some time ago as a result of one of his fascinations with Muggle life. It didn't come in very well...and no one was quite sure why there was a wizard-news channel, when they were probably the only wizards to have a TV...but nonetheless, breaking news from Diagon Alley. "...is believed to be the work of a still-remaining faction of Death-Eaters," a shaky voice announced. Ginny's eyes went wide, and she looked at her dad for some reassurance. He looked sick. Ron saw her desperate search for support, and gave a small gesture for her to come over. She did, and for a moment, next to her big brother, she almost believe d everything could be all right... "Dad, we've got to do something!" Fred was saying. "You've got to let us go down there!" George agreed. "No, boys, it's too dangerous," their dad began. Even Percy, somewhat to Ginny's surprise, semed eager to go. "They'll be needing help--" he started. Arthur seemed to falter. "Well, perhaps--" "[i]No.[/i]" Molly said firmly. "You will all be staying right here. Everythig that can be done is [i]being[/i] done, and the [i]last[/i] thing they are going to want down there is a bunch of catastrphe-happy sightseers!" "But Mom--" "No buts!" "But--" Ron and Ginny looked at each other. "This is bad, isn't it?" she whispered, silently hoping the answer could somehow be [i]no[/i]. "Oh yeah."[/size]

[size=1]Try [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?threadid=12374]this[/url] thread. Kind of old, but it'll work. [there's an examination of the word by wrist cutter on page two.][/size]

[size=1]I come to OB to corrupt my poor innocent mind.... I used to draw, write, read, scribble, daydream.... I don't do anything, anymore. There's no motivation.[/size]

[size=1]Ginny [i]Weasely[/i] [This is going to be hella annoying...] rolled her eyes in Ron's general direction. "I'm not just your lovestruck baby sister, anymore, [i]Ronnie[/i]," she teased. "I'm fifteen!" Ron groaned. "Yeah, and let me tell you--my sister having a crush on my best friend is no fun. Get over it, eh?" "I [i]am[/i] over it!" Ginny squealed. Even now, she was still the baby of the family...and still sometimes acted like it. "Besides," she added slyly. "Maybe I'm not the only one with a crush this year, huh?" "Why, you little--!!" Ron swung at her head with his pillow, and she ducked out of the room, grinning. "Ginny!" Molly called. "Come down here!" Ginny raced down the staricase, swinging around the kitchen doorframe at the bottom, breathless and smiling. "What is it, Mom?" she asked cheerfully. "You'd better find your father," Molly said, her voice strained. "And round up the boys." "Mom?" Ginny said uncertainly...but at a second glance from her mother, she ran off to find the others. "Mom? What's the matter?" Ron asked--he'd followed Ginny downstairs. "There's been an attack at Diagon Alley," Molly Weasley said. "Go find your father."[/size]

[size=1]As a general rule, punctuation always goes inside quotes. An exception would be something like: Did he say "wait"? In this case, [i]you[/i] are asking a question--the question is not part of the original quote.[/size]
