Epitome

[size=1][color=sienna]I have only been a Manson fan for about a month. My brother introduced me to the cover of "Tainted Love" and then I started listening to more of his music and it began to basically, pull me in. Another cover that I like of his is "You Spin Me Right Round." Thats probably my favorite or second favorite song by him. The other in contention would have to be "The Fight Song." But I will most likely NOT by the album. I have an iPod so I most likely will download the music. But even though most people blame Marilyn Manson for the Columbine shootings, and that his music is "sick and demented," I see him as an idol. He expresses what he wants to express, and says what he wants to say. And I think that he is great because of it.[/color][/size]

[size=1]I really dont like the way my animations are turning out so Im going to request a new banner/avatar combo. Basically all I want on the banner is the the girl in the picture provided, and if possible her gun, and my name in a spot that makes it look well. And the same for the avatar. Thanx in advance. Heres the picture:[url]http://www.blizzard.com/images/ghost/wallpaper/wallpaper03-1024x.jpg[/url][/size]

[size=1]All I have to say is, if we have a right to express religion, what we want to say, and what we think... how come we cant express how we feel towards another person if its of the same sex? Personally, its ludacris not to allow gay marriage. I am Catholic, and I believe what God, Jesus Christ, and the bible say, but I still think they should allow gay marriage. -Epitome[/size]

[QUOTE=Juuthena][color=deeppink][size=1]Eh. I have to get braces for a year because my jaw's crooked. -.-; My teeth are fairly straight (mom's a dentist) and I feel really fortunate it'll just be for a year. Not quuuite sure how that's supposed to work, but I guess it's worth it. ...Wait. Having braces makes you smile differently? o_o;[/color][/size][/QUOTE] [size=1]Surprisingly, it does. Now I dont show a whole lot of my bottom teeth but when I got my braces on, man all my teeth would show. But I like it better now anyways. So yea, it kinda does.[/size]

[size=1]Red whyd you have to bring up Sephiroth... I miss that guy. Well I remember back in the day when I first joined that there were clans... And I was in one, but I really didnt know what they were for. And where is AJeh nowadays as well. Man I didnt realize how many people left... Oh man, I also remember when I first joined the boards looking nothing like this. Alot less advanced but the OB Staff updated it well. But yea, thats what I remember.[/size]

[size=1]It says something to me. I like how you did it and the message it will most likely send out at people. Just put a border around it and ill be ready for a signature.[/size]

[size=1]Yeah... just take it slow. Hold her hand on the way to the bus stop, sit with her on the bus, walk her too her class, etc. Trsut me, youll be fine. And plus, youll know when the first kiss should be made.[/size]

[quote name='Baron Samedi][size=1']I'd agree with you on it's kick-arse-ness, but still...why U2 I wonder? Is there any particular reason they chose them?[/size][/quote] [size=1]I think they chose U2 because they have a strong affiliation with Apple, according to my knowledge. And plus Apple, just made a new commercial for U2's new song Vertigo...[/size]

[SIZE=3][u]His Life Story[/SIZE][/u] [size=1]I was a little bored and I have been working on this, so I thought Id ask for some feedback... [i]Chapter 1[/i] It was just a normal day for Jonathan, went over to his girlfriends house like every other day, went to school like every other day, everything was fine. He did his homework, hung out with his friends, nothing seemed to be wrong... The next morning, he had found his father laying on the floor not moving, breathing... nothing. He called 911 but it was too late. He found a note next to his father and all it said was "His Life Story." Jonathan really didnt know what this meant. He went upstairs to his journal and decided to write about the tradgedy of his fathers death. They later found that his father had OD'd on heroin because he thought "my son doesnt love me enough." Jonathan thought his fathers death was his fault, his mother couldnt reach him, his brothers, no one. He stayed in his room writing. No one really knew when he was going to come out. No one thought he would make it through this... He was so depressed he didnt even want to eat. But then something hit Jonathan... he knew what his father meant by "His Life Story." He knew now that his father wanted him to write a biography on him, and try to influence father/son relationships to be more secure. So thats what Jonathan did... he wrote and wrote and wrote. End Chapter 1 P.S. Its a short story so the chapters are short and this is based upon a true story.[/size]

[quote name='fluffyfan']CHICKEN RULES!!!! :love: ^_________________^ LONG LIVE CHICKEN!!!!![/quote] [size=1]I hate to be playing Mod here but, for those of you who are new to the boards... this is the absolute pure definition of spam. Thats all I have to say.[/size]

[size=1]WOW!!! This thing is quite awesome looking. The only thing that is different about it is the colors of the iPod and the back where it has all the signatures of the band members. The color scheme is sick. Its a black base with a red ClickWheel and it looks so nice. If you want to see it, its [URL=http://www.apple.com/ipod/u2/]here[/URL]. I wish I would have waited to get mine now that this one has come out... But the only thing is... its 50$ extra. But I would pay it, it looks kicks bootay.[/size]

[size=1]Well Game 4 is tonight, and unless the Cardinals can pull a "Boston" (I made that up myself... lol) the Sox are going to "break the curse." In a way I am happy for them. They played great all year, had great stats... they deserve it.[/size]

[QUOTE=ssjSolarPrinces][COLOR=GREEN]I still have that sort of smile now and I got my braces off almost four years ago. Anyways, I actually had to go through braces twice. Once was when I was in third grade for a year. That time it was only on the top jaw but I also had to wear a chin strap thingy for my overbite, which really sucked. The second time I got braces was in seventh grade, around the time when most of my friends also had them. That time I had to get them on both jaws and wore them for almost two years. I just realized something, I'm still wearing my retainer from when I got my braces off four years ago. Oh, and did anyone else have to get a "semi-perminant" retainer (the one where they glue a curved braces wire to the back of your teeth on the bottom jaw), I still have mine :p [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [size=1]My mom just told me that I could most likely get a permanent one that I wouldnt have to worry about putting it in and out. So Im thinking about doing that because I will be able to talk regularly(sp?) all the time, and plus I wont have to worry about losing it or breaking it, etc. But for now, I have to wear this thing called a Pre-Finisher. Its basically a Mouth Guard that makes sure my teeth dont shift from now until I get my actual retainer. Its really annoying because you cant talk at all with it in your mouth, so. But I only have to wear this for 2 months and I dont have to wear it all the time which is good. Only 4 hours in the day after school and when I sleep. So its not too bad... yet.[/size]

[size=1]I sent a PM to James, but Im not sure if he checks his PM's. But anyways, when anyone who can do this has time, I was wondering if I could get my name changed to "Epitome." So whenever possible if someone could do this, that would be very gracious. Thank you.[/size]

[size=1][color=red]Oh my God!!! I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!!! I knew they were breeding spam to kill itself but I knew it would have turned against them. I could have warned them... WHY DIDNT I WARN THEM!!!! Heh, very funny Des. I love the way you make it feel like your reading a real tabloid or magazine article. You do a great job with the actual body of stories that you come up with as well. So keep up the good work my friend.[/size][/color]

[size=1]Well I just got my braces off on Friday, right before Homecoming so I wanted to ask 2 things: #1. How do I look? [URL=http://img58.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img58&image=Picture985.jpg][IMG]http://img58.exs.cx/img58/6119/Picture985.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] #2. Have any of you all had braces and did it bother you as much as it did me? I hated mine. Like I couldnt stand them. So thats why I am going to wear my retainer everyday, because I am NOT going back into them...[/size]

[size=1]Wow I started this thread a little early... lol. I just had my Homecoming tonight and it was very cool. Just a normal HC, dancing, hanging out... But there was one thing kind of interesting at this one. While dancing with a girl, on of her... how should I put this.... "breasts" fell out of her skirt. Oh man, I could not stop laughing. But other than that it was pretty normal. So did anyone else have theirs recently?[/size]

[size=1]Thanks so much Nomad. It looks great.[/size]

[size=1]I agree with all the statements here. I first joined here when I was about 11-12, so the administrators have to keep the site to a max of a PG-13 rating, except in the Adventure, where there are ratings. But reasons they are closing posts: spam, double posting, overall low quality post. Just make sure you make good posts and dont double post, and you should be fine.[/size]

[size=1]Awesome, thanks Nomad, and make any changes to the banner if you would like to see if you could make it look better...[/size]

[size=1]I see, but how did you add your border to every frame. I cant figure it out. I use PSP as well so...[/size]

[size=1]They are both excellent for a first try. They are a hell of alot better than mine... But may I ask what program(s) you use???[/size]

[size=1]I just made this animated banner and I was wondering if someone could possibly add a border for me... thanks in advance. [url]http://img65.exs.cx/img65/8664/oceanstwelve4.gif[/url][/size]

[size=1]Okay, wrist cutter you make some very good points, all of you do. And I think everyone is right in this thread... there really is no wrong answer. And now that I have read what you guys think, I think I agree with the not-legalizing more. I realize that kids will still do it even if it legalized, so no point in doing that, and keeping it legalized will definatley lead to worse things. But now I have to do a public policy project on why I think it should be legalized... going to have to change that... lol.[/size]

[size=1]Some of you might know of them from their song "Bad Touch," but I recently just heard a song that was actually very good. Its called "I Hope You Die," but thats the only other song that I have heard by them. Its actually got a very good guitar and bass track to it, while the lyrics are amazing as well. They really tell a story... So do any of you guys like the band, and what are your favorite songs and why?[/size]
