[font=tahoma][color=993366]Welcome to OtakuBoards, and you'll see the reason why those topics are locked is because they either a. led to no discussion or b. got off topic. *calls mod to lock this one*[/color][/font]

[font=tahoma][color=993366]I'm not sure where I should put this. I'm hesitant about the Anime Lounge, and I'm hesitant about this section-thing.. please don't kill me if I'm wrong. heh. Anyways, each and every anime (I think, at least) has a theme song. What I'd like to know is, which ones appeal to you? My personal favorite is the Pokèmon: Advanced theme song. Excluding the first and second season, Pokèmon has had a good theme song, or so I think at least. I also like the Teen Titans theme song. It's really cool, and flows well.[/color][/font] [size=1][color=darkblue][b]Note: This thread is going pretty well so far, and I'm going to make this the major anime music thread in this forum. Nothing sticky, just something cool and official-like. -Shy[/b][/color][/size]

[FONT=TAHOMA][size=2]Do they ever age anime characters very much? No, not really.[/size][/font]

[FONT=TAHOMA]Fine, James, they can try them first.. but we need to try them in our court too. I don't have too much confidence in the Iraqi court, mainly because it [i]is[/i] or [i]was[/i] corrupted.[/FONT]

[font=tahoma]I am so glad that they captured him. I don't like that they want his own people to try him, though. I think the United States should try him - or that's what I think at least.[/font]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Bloodsin [/i] [B] Bush doesn't know WTF's doing, So that shoots down the exp theory. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=006699]Not really, because a lot of past Presidents used their past political experiences to help run this government. Most who actually run - including mayors and governors - usually address things that they've dealt with in the past. Example: Child Abortion, Yearly Revenue. Bush is an exception.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Bloodsin [/i] [B]I'd like to see a president come from the middle, or lower, classes. With the exception of a few, all presidents have been rich upper class people with political connections. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=006699]That's because most Presidents have been involved with politics earlier, before they actually became President - which is why they're rich, and why they're elected - because [most - excluding Bush] know what they were/are doing.[/color]

[color=006699]Thank you both for your comments. :) And yes, grammar has always been a good friend of mine. ;) Here are two more poems.. [u]Does It Matter?[/u] Does it matter That you are my sunshine on the darkest day? Does it matter That you are my money when I cannot pay? Does it matter That I weep when you are down? Does it matter That I am sad when you wear a frown? Does it matter That I cannot think straight when you?re around? Does it matter That when you pass by you don?t make a sound? Does it really matter That my love for you is true? Does it really matter That if you go, my life will be through? [u]What is Stopping You?[/u] What is stopping you From leaving this place? From loving that girl with the long brown hair? From frowning all the while? What is stopping you From breaking down and crying? From taking that final step? From forgetting all you've had? What is stopping you? I am.[/color]

[color=006699]Here are some poems I wrote about a certain someone. [u]I Can't[/u] I can?t stop thinking of you. The way you smile in the sunlight. The way you light up a dark day. I can?t stop talking about you. How you do the things you do. How you look at me each day. I can?t stop looking at you. Each and every day you?re here. Each and every day you?re there. You?re there again, in my mind. You?ve shown up again, in my words. You?re stepped into my life again, in front of me [u]Mind, Body and Soul[/u] I want to look into your mind See what you?re thinking Feel what you?re wanting I want to be in your mind Be what you?re thinking of Be what you?re longing for I want to be next to your body Feel the warmth you always seem to emit Hold your hand so I know I?m safe I want to hold your body Know that you?re there and always will be Becoming your one and only love I want to feel your soul Know what you?re feeling when I?m around See what you?re longing for instead of me I want to see into your soul Deep inside, to see your love Find what I?m looking for, the only thing True love.. [u]Intense[/u] I feel intense When I?m with you Like I can do anything Anyone wants me to I feel intense Love is always that way Making me restless Not being able to go about my day I feel intense When your voice comes through On the other end When you say I love you[/color]

[color=006699]I hate all of you. You're all so skinny. >>[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ChibiHorsewoman [/i] [B][color=violet]I simply meant that you shouldn't call someone a liar because of something they're seeing. IN my religion, there are possibilities of things like that happening the same with Ryu and Samurai. If someone heard God talking to them, would you call them a liar? I don't think so. So why should this be any different? You shouldn't make judgements on things you know nothing about.[/color] [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]and i still think you're rude[/SIZE][/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=006699]That's exactly what you're doing - you assume I know nothing about Wiccan and Pagan tendencies, but sorry to burst your immature little bubble, I do.

[color=006699]I just hope you know, Chibi and Derelict, wristcutter is being sarcastic. I'm all for it. I mean, if you can't take what you dish out, then don't dish it out.[/color]

[color=006699]I don't have that many, but I have some. Quonk - Don't ask. It started with my sister, and somehow it got to the drama club. So I'm basically Quonk to all my buds at drama, especially the directors. Big Guy - Turtle (Jeremy) has always called me this. See, I'm six foot and I'm a freshmen - he's like five-five and a senior. Babe, Bud, Sweetie, Honey - My best senior bud calls me these names all the time. I guess it's because I'm like her youngest friend, in school anyways.[/color]

[color=006699]Thank you, Mitch, for your help. I'm not that good at writing poetry. ^_^; Yeah, sure you can Asphy. ^_^[/color]

[color=006699]You're either lying your *** off, or you're on drugs.[/color]

[color=006699]Abortions are just plain wrong. If you can't take the responsibility of using protection, then it's your own fault you got knocked up. You don't punish a baby's life for your dumb *** mistake.[/color]

[color=006699]Well, before I left, I posted an auditition paper that I wrote for my school newspaper, and guess what? I got in! I've already had one article published, but that was in October, and there wasn't one in November, so here's the two I did for December. Tell me what you think. [center][size=3][b]How Has the Skeleton Changed?[/b][/size][/center] As the times, fads, music and movies change over the years, so has the Skeleton. It?s been around for a while, and most of your parents can remember seeing or reading the popular newspaper. How has the Skeleton changed? Well, I?ve interviewed two high school graduates to find out. First, I interviewed Miss Alyce Smith. [b]How has the Skeleton changed since you graduated JHS in 1964?[/b] A lot, really. It was larger, and sized like a normal newspaper. It had a lot more articles such as award ceremonies, dances, music, choir, and drama. The band even had their own section. [b]Is there anything you would like to change or bring back to the Skeleton?[/b] Well, I?d like to see that instead of focusing on the same individuals all the time (I.e. football players, basketball players, cheerleaders, etc), pull ?Johnny Nobody? aside and pay attention to him. Ask him a survey question. It might just keep him from smoking a joint or popping a pill. Next, I interviewed Mrs. Becky Taylor, a past editor for the Skeleton. [b]How has the Skeleton changed since you graduated JHS?[/b] The stories are more like news reports with a true journalistic slant. There are many more ads with more of a variety. Also, the sports column has more delegation of responsibilities. [b]Is there anything you would like to change or bring back to the Skeleton?[/b] No, I really like it. I like the surveys because it really pulls the student body in and attracts them to the Skeleton. [b]What is your over-all favorite feature of the Skeleton?[/b] I love the baby pictures in the senior issue. [b]As a past editor, is there anything you would like to say?[/b] I really enjoy the present Skeleton. [center][size=3][b]Where Do Elves Come From?[/b][/size][/center] Elves - the mystical, the mysterious, the [i]short[/i] children-like beings that work for that big tub of joy Santa Claus. They work away all year to make toys for children of the world; toy cars, trucks, dolls and much, much more, there?s almost nothing they can?t do. But there?s always that unanswered question, that one thing that everyone wants to know: Where do elves come from? When you look into the midnight sky and see that star that shines so bright, that?s a really bright star. But if you look closer, next to it, you can see exactly where elves come from: New Elfland. As beautiful as it is mystical, it?s where the elves are born and raised until they are ready to be shipped off to Santa. In New Elfland, the buildings are all made out of diamond - Tiffany?s to be exact. The streets are made out of ice, which explains why no one gets a car for Christmas - elves don?t know what they are. They use dogs, though they are way bigger than they are, to pull their sleighs. Don?t be surprised, that if you ever get to go to New Elfland, to see a dozen or more elves riding on one sleigh. In the center of New Elfland stands the great New Elfland University, which teaches future elves to make toys. Many courses have to be taken to be able to be sent to Santa himself, and if you don?t graduate, you get sent to the horrible, the disgusting Munchkinland! Alright, it?s not horrible or disgusting, but those outfits are so five minutes ago. Yes, those Munchkins from over the rainbow are actually rejected elves. They always hold a grudge against Santa and the University, but they are all kept in line by Glenda and her sister, Hilda. If it weren?t for these two, New Elfland and the North Pole would be over run with rogue Munchkins or Bad Elves, either way you want to look at it, they?re bad news. But our elves don?t let their counterparts ruin their lives. They?re the happiest, most magical beings in the universe, and probably will stay like that for millennia to come. With their pointy ears, bell-ringing shoes, and shortness that?s kind of freaky, they?ll be Christmas idols for years to come.[/color]

[color=006699]I guess the hardest thing in my life is not having a father. I've never been able to call anyone dad or daddy, I haven't played catch on warm summer days, and I've never went on a father-son camping trip. That's probably why I feel so left out sometimes. I never get to do anything a father and son should do - and when someone talks about how good their father is, I just ignore them. I've always longed for a father, but deep inside, I know I'll never have one. This is why I'll be an awesome dad.[/color]
