[size=1] ..kisamehada. When my friend said it, I couldnt stop laughing. Anyone got any guesses on where they think the story's going to go?[/size]

[size=1] Haha! Wow, cant believe I've never picked up on that before.. well what about the Pains? Although I suppose they were already dead and Nagato was already topless. Hmm. Wow lol.[/size]

[quote name='HopscotchEyelid']In 6th Grade, during an Advanced Studies test, too see if I should be in it, I was asked what the word "Fragrance" meant, and I replied by saying "Just the surroundings."[/QUOTE][size=1]I remember smugly telling one of my older cousins that I was petrified. She asked me if I knew what it meant and I told her it was when you felt sweaty and tired. I dont even know how I jumped to that conclusion..[/size]

[size=1]Ho-slap no jutsu[/size]

[size=1] lol nice to see Sara still has her love of names :) I remember the name Yanamaria (and some of the pics in the link) but I just assumed it was a real name. It has an un-artificial ring to it, if that makes sense. On the tangent of character names, I love coming up with names for characters for things. It's usually hard at first to come up with the first few, but then you sorta cant stop when you get in the zone. Sometimes I'll start off with a theme, sometimes with certain sounds, and sometimes I'll just go on a wikipedia frenzy til a word jumps out at me. One name I like to re-use in things is [i]Boy[/i] lol. It's so childish and for me, it just slots into everything :rolleyes: The names that stick usually fit specifically to that character, or with a set of similar characters, either in meaning or origin or theme. I'm slowly coming up with a story atm with a huge character list and I really like how the names fit in to their motives/nature/groups/blahblah. The story's tentatively called [i]Waha[/i], after the main character. It translates to 'oasis' in arabic, and a lot of the other characters have names that are similarly of middle eastern origin, or which tie in with the desert sort of name-theme (the story is nothing to do with the Middle East lol). The antagonist's name is a distortion of a word that means 'mirage' (hah) but there were a few other reasons why I chose that name. The names that dont fit into any current story ideas kinda get stockpiled in case I might wanna use them for other things. Random examples are: [i]kina, korina, kimi, jebin, lamia, lorna[/i] etc. These names are usually just as exotic in origin, but they're less local to any certain place. They sorta give me a fantasy vibe too, so they're kinda being saved for a fitting project. Going back to title though.. I usually think through a bunch of important things in the story. Key chapter names, key locations or items, important characters or moments in the story.. anything that sticks out really. I usually like things that might have a double meaning/deeper meaning to the story. The [i]Waha[/i] story is sort of all about whether or not things are real and the search for something real, that's why I like the oasis/mirage thing. I got another story I'm planning out which I've titled [i]Crossroad[/i]. The story starts off in the hometown of the main character, which is by a crossroad. But later on the main character ends up dying and 'restarting' at a certain point in his life (maybe more than once :P). So the title's really referring to the different choices he makes each time he restarts. lol I hope the last paragraph helped. The rest was just sorta gratuitous babbling lol.[/size]

I decided to come in here to apologise for saying you guys insult the writing way too much. Because last week's was retarded :animesigh

[size=1] Wow some of you guys sure seem to complain a lot about this series lol. I actually happen to think this is singlehandedly [i]the[/i] most well thought-out manga I've ever come across. I'll scroll back a few pages to read you guys' earlier comments on earlier issues, but I really dont find much fault in it at all. I think the only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth recently was the Two Sons revelation from Tobi. I'm not sure if it's a retcon of the Sharingan's Byakugan-derived origin as brought up by Kakashi forever ago, or if that theory was just meant to be lore, or if it still somehow fits in with what we know (or if Tobi gave us some more half-truths) but it seems badly tied together. And Kakashi not mentioning what he 'knew' makes it seem like sloppy writing. As for the newest ep, I dont know where I stand on Sasuke's powers. Does 'double Mangekyou' mean Tobi's form of Mangekyou, or is it just meant to mean mastery of both eyes? I'm inclined to think it's just the second one. Sasuke seems to be overusing his powers really quick and I'm banking on him losing his eyesight (enter Tobi with Itachi's corpse, eyes intact for the grabbage.. in exchange for more pawn-work) after/during this fight. Then he gets the Madara-esque Mangekyou. And I dont think he's surpassed Itachi at all. Firstly Itachi wanted Sasuke to kill him, so I doubt he'd use his full power but rather pretend to and just showcase some of his abilities. And secondly, one of my friends said that Itachi was ill/dying at that point? I dont remember that myself but yeah.[/size]

[size=1]I didnt even know they were a couple :( Inactivity sucks like that.. (Someone fill me in :()[/size]

[size=1] Wow, the 1st and 3rd pics from SPX's last post are pretty badass. To Sothis: your hair looked cool when that pic was taken. I've never seen anyone with like a colour-gradienty sorta thing in their hair in real life before down here. I wanna see the cyborg tats lol. And as for Ken; Ken is Ken :) I need to find more pictures to put up soon..[/size]

[size=1] I can make friends with girls extremely easily and whatnot, but I seem to have trust issues with the opposite gender when it comes to thinking about them as relationship-potential. This is what happens when you're stuck in a boys' school at the critical ages of 11-16 lol. [/size]

[quote name='Clurr'][FONT="Arial"]"I put it on at night, and when I woke up in the morning...you don't have acne!" it hurts my heart.[/FONT][/QUOTE][size=1]Urgh, have you ever read "Eats, Shoots and Leaves"? You probably have but if you havent, you'll love it lol. As for me, I'd like to consider my unbelievably positive attitude to everything and my disgustingly patiently patience (yes) as my favourites from whatever talents that I have. I'm also very flexible with my sleeping pattern. Snooze-chameleon! I havent ever broken any bones in my body before. That's a combination of luck; not bothering to have the worrying things checked out; and being big on my milk lol. Best 'other strange thing' I could do at this time of the night..[/size]

[size=1] Just watched it yesterday (UK release) with a girl I know lol. She freaked out cos she's so squeamish and didnt know anything about the film except that it starred Depp lol. Well, her choice lol. I know this is going to sound weird, but I'm not sure I liked it. I enjoyed it but I dont think I'd watch it again. The songs ranged from hilarious to silly to creepy which was cool. [spoiler] And SBC's cameo was absolutely great lol[/spoiler]. I hadnt seen the original so I wasnt sure how it was going to end and it was like watching an accident happen once you put all the pieces together in your head lol. Only in song-format.[/size]

[size=1] Well the Fox article title says "Kansas Baptist Church Intends to Picket Heath Ledger's Funeral..." and to my knowledge he was found dead in New York? So the funeral may be in the US, possibly.[/size]

[size=1] I mean I could understand that maybe they dont agree with gay peoples' lifestyles or whatever, but to protest at a deadman's funeral is a complete lack of respect towards his family/friends and to the sanctity of life. It's not even like he was gay, he portrayed a gay character. You dont see them picketing outside every actor who's ever played the role of a villain for portraying a sinful person. I was avoiding all the Dark Knight info best as I could resist until release day, but now I really want to see the previews to the film now just to see how he was going with his role. 10 Things > All romcoms[/size]

[size=1] [b][URL="http://www.nomorelol.com/"]http://www.nomorelol.com/[/URL][/b] [URL="http://www.nomorelol.com/"][img]http://centraldigit.com/loi2.jpg[/img][/url] Ok so I recently just clicked on that site and I thought it was kinda amusing (enough to warrant a "loi") and thought I'd bring it here for whatever reason lol. I remember when I first started using the internet, 'lol' seemed so weird and I told myself I'd never catch myself ever using it so long as 'haha' and 'hehe' were useable. Then I think once I started frequently using AIM to chat to a whole bunch of OB users, eventually (more like immediately, I'm weak-willed) I broke down to the point I use it as a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_stop"][i]fullstop[/i]-substitute[/URL]. But more to the point.. how often do you guys use lol? do you ever find yourself saying it just to be saying it? do you have a certain level of funniness beyond which it's consciously decided that 'lol' simply will not do, forcing you to reach for the more drastic [i]lmao/rofl[/i] derivatives? how easily do you get used to all the new popping up acronyms lol ("loi" still looks damn weird to me)? Discuss :catgirl:[/size]

[size=1] I know people here dont really care for rap generally, but I think this song is great at creating this feeling of uneasiness and paranoia. It's the way the strings pull in the background and how he's so openly uneasy and unsure about everything. [b][URL="http://youtube.com/watch?v=XbKxeHYY7Sc"]Joe Budden - Walk With Me (click for youtube linky)[/URL][/b] I'd recommend listening to it with the lyrics in front of you, rap songs tend to have more words jammed into them lol?[/size]

[size=1] 'He's still out there..' [/size]

[size=1] I actually typed out a long post (well, compared to how little I usually type) yesterday about a similar recent/current situation I was going through. When I got to the end of it though I decided I didnt want to show it so I deleted it lol. Felt great to get it off my chest too though, like you said. Figured I'd come back to say this thread wasnt a flop, 3 replies or not. :animeswea[/size]
