I really like the second pic, but, I didnt really care for it as a desktop, so I stole it and made another one real quick...laf. If you like it you are more then welcome to use it, if you would like diff colours too, let me know. ^_^ I was going to attach it - but I guess it's a bit too large - and since I refuse to save it as a Jpeg, here it is,... [URL="http://www.otakulab.com/DesktopKyoto1152x864.gif"]Here she is[/URL]

Regrets... laf, I don't think I have enough space for all mine. Most of all, I regret not having any kind of relationship with my father. It's not too late to start one off, I just don't know if I even want to at this point. ho-hum.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Crimson Spider [/i] [B]Ignorance is bliss. Except too little ignorance is an annoyance e.i. those protestors that clutter the streets and disrupt normal public activities because they don't like what's happening. [/B][/QUOTE] O_o That's called Freedom of Speech. You know, that whole Constitution thing. Protesters are what make this country pretty cool actually. (Don't know if you are a South Park fan, but they had a really funny episode this season about protesting, it was pretty hysterical.) Anywho - removing those people that "clutter" the streets, would only be limiting the freedoms that you are prolly enjoying as you are reading this thread. Being killed for your views, not having a say in the way you are being governed? Please tell me you aren't being serious.?. O_o

Otku slowly opened her eyes as the morning sun broke against her window; how she loved the soft sunlight warming her face whilst in slumber. Removing the large coverings from atop her, Otku swung her long legs from out underneath them, stepping upon the cold stone below. A short shiver coursed through her, followed after with a gentle breeze that kissed her body sweeping throughout the room. Otku grabbed her dagger from a nearby table, covered herself with a robe and began to walk towards the direction of the cool air. Most of the windows in the castle adorned curtains made of the finest materials gathered from all the surrounding lands, however, Otku wouldn't hear of hanging such things in her room. She loved the feeling of openness; she loved gazing upon the lands that soon would be ruled by Ilmiwyrth unhindered. Otku slumped herself by the ledge and began to comb through her hair using the blade of her knife. The sun was now in the sky and there were no clouds to be seen. Woods were as far as the eye could see, containing grand trees of many in all shapes and sizes. The girl peered down below to see the guards underneath her and throughout the perimeter. She grinned to herself broadly thinking how these men resemble playthings to her and how she despises each and everyone one of them. Using the tip of her blade, Otku began to scratch her chin gently in a circular motion. Slowly, she walked away from the window; the grin on the beauties face slowly dissolving as thoughts of the night before crept into her mind. Otku: :: (quietly mumbling) :: I remember Rali... I remember Xavier... I remember Ilmiwyrth... I... I? Nothing. Otku could remember nothing more. Needing to find answers, Otku left her room and knocked on the neighboring door for Ryshiel, her dear sweet Ryshiel. Ilmiwyrth spent most of his nights here with her, or the three if it suited the both, however Ilmiwyrth had already left the quarters early for business in which only he could attend to. There were rumors as to where Ilmiwyrth went off to but no one knew for sure. An hour in which he could never be disturbed, this was all that had to be known. Ryshiel opened the door looking as beautiful as ever. A smile washed across her face. Ryshiel: I'm very glad to see you standing here. I thought it was to be another guard. I'm late for an archery lesson this morning and you would think that the world is to end. Ryshiel made herself to the bed and began to tap it signaling Otku to sit beside her. Ryshiel: You had us scared last night. Ilmiwyrth worked on you for quite some time. Xavier came in with you slumped over in his arms... I.. I was.... Otku: :: smiling :: I never want to be without you and our dear Ilmiwyrth. Last night, however is the reason for my visit. I can't remember what happened. I can't remember anything. Ryshiel: Yes. You seemed afraid Otku, of what I can't be sure. :: taking Otku's hand :: I've never seen you like that Otku. Promise me you will never let that happen again. We can't loose you. I can't loose you. Not to mention :: a grin washing over Ryshiel's face :: we don't stand for wimps around here. Both the girls started to laugh. Ryshiel: :: Pulling Otku up :: Come on, let's go find some trouble to get into. Go get some clothes on, I'll meet you out in the courtyard by the main entrance. Otku: Trouble sounds good. With that, Otku slid herself through the doorway and closed the door behind her.

You didn't see one - because they don't exist. O_o Welcome to OB - this thread 'll prolly get closed.

Ermm, well, first thing, I'm glad you'll never be prez CS. O_o *WOW* One day eh, everyone has quite the list to accomplish in one day. I guess there isn?t really anything you could logistically get done in one day, but as Heaven's Cloud suggested, a little fun with the whole thing. The "exotic foreign spots" bit sounds very good right now though. *Morphs desk into plane flying for Aruba*

Ermmmm, hate to ask a dumb question, but I'm really not familiar with what network IFC (something family channel?) stands for, can anyone drop me a bone? ^_^ Thanks.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#335062]So I guess there are a lot of things you can talk about here. You can talk about basic control (like walking around, the relationships you have, etc etc) or you can talk about a greater level of control (financial independence, owning assets, money increasing your power and influence over others).[/color][/B][/QUOTE] So, one's control over one's life runs to the extent of the riches one hold's? O_o I don't know if I would agree with that or not, but I can see where you are coming from. However, I believe the thread is posing the question; "Free will, Is there such a thing?" [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by XeEmO[/i] I've come to the conclusion that no one can control anything they do.... My main argument is where do your thoughts come from? They just pop up in your head. How would you control such a thing? Why do we do the things we do? Because of our thoughts? What controls our movements? Do you really feel you have control over everything you do? I think that free will is just some sort of illusion if anything, only to keep us from going insane.[/QUOTE] Free will is making your own decisions. Whether you are poor or rich, the decisions are still yours to make. Though the decisions may vary, "Should I ram my BMW into this car in front of me?", or, "Should I steal this food so I can eat this week?" EVERYONE has the ability to make decisions. Everyone has the ability to change their lives. Glad you liked the poem Battosai, thanks for the nice words. ^_^

The proportion seems to be off a bit, and the shading could use some work too. Not bad at all though, 8/10 ^_^

I found the Bush bit to be rather funny. laf. Not too much of a fan of Ultimate Muscle though, none the less the banner is veddy nice. ^_^

Nod. Twas rather confusing, don't really know how to explain it any better though. Erm? the red "visor screen thingies" (god I cant believe I just said thingie), at the top and bottom of the desktop. I was trying to spit out adding the same type of screens along the sides, but in a different colour (then the red) maybe black.?., and making them obviously much thinner (then the red one's) so as not to look awkward. My thought was that it would help to kind of :: box off :: the dt. Shrug, I know I'm probably still not making any sense; sorry I can't explain 'er better.

I don't know if I would go as far to say that I hate Reign, (actually I liked it a lot), but they have def played it enough for a bit, plus there are only 13 episodes, I mean, where ya going? Right? I, for one, can't stand Lupin, but I know it's got its funny points and it's following, shrug, just not my alley - at all. I'm not counting Futurama or Family Guy (LUV Family Guy) as anime. I know it's adult swim, but erm, no. Kikiader looks interesting, and as long as Inuyasha doesn't roll back to the beginning again after Kagome and the Wolf Demon, I'll be straight. I am sad to see Cowboy and Trigun go though. Although, honestly, they have both been kinda played out too... maybe I'm just spoiled by my DVR? -_~

WOW Dark, fresh job. The background is freakin' awesome. I'm going to make that my work desktop. I guess if I had to give a suggestion it would be, *scratches head* ermm, wait, no, can't think of one... O_o Oh wait, maybe to have a border of white, like the red transparent ones on the top and bottom, along the left and right side, maybe placing the white border layer under the red ones. (The same line texture on it). Maybe not, I don?t know if I would even like that more, just something maybe that? erp, well you get the idea. Either way ~ again, really fresh job. :: You so good ::

Nice picture, a couple of suggestions: ~ The white that is under his arm, and all around in that area (The eyeholes of the mask, around his hair)- it looks like either you may have not deleted that portion out of your original picture before merging it with another layer, or that is meant to be the light of the building, either way, you should get rid of it. If it's nighttime, the lights can be out in the building and it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. As it is right now, that area seems to distract from the rest of the picture. Maybe you can make it all black and shades of gray? ...?Specially the eyeholes of the mask. ~ The dark cloud under the moon; can't tell if that?s an effect, (plastic wrap?) or just blending, again, either way I would take it out, or clean it up a bit. ~ The shading on his face seems a bit odd and as Dark said, also a bit kid-ish, but then again, that may be the age that [i]your[/i] Spiderman is. I love the reflection of the moon in the building, great job on that. All in all a very nice pic. //^_^\\

The pics are great - just one suggestion - the hair isnt as shaded as the rest of him in the colour pic. It "should" be white and that light blue as the shadow colour... or at least thats my take. Great pics though, 9.8/10 ^_^

Ermmm, this thread is kinda pointless. //^_^\\ Next time, maybe try doing a poll of fave donuts, and which animes people have spotted the holed treats in... dunno, just something more. This'll prolly get closed by the mods. Welcome to OB.

Happened upon this thread and a poem I had written a bit ago came to mind, it's called [b]Being[/b]. Keep inside; don't speak. Outpour of thoughts: inwardly humorous. A heightened sense of knowledge, or a self-proclaimed insanity? Is what contemplated in one's mind? The basis of one's being? And, if such a remark can be true, is then one being able to transform by manipulating What one views and ponders? Or, will such above named person Inevitably have bestowed upon them The inescapable mannerisms and Thought processes they were destined to? Does one decide who one is, or does fate decide who one is? Is it the sun, the moon? Is it the earth or the sky? Nor that; is it physical or metaphysical? It IS both everything and nothing. We will always be who we are, Yet we are in constant change. Transforming shape, Altering form, Growing, Learning ? ... Being. So, I believe in free will. You take everything that you have learned, and seen in life and make decisions based on those things. Though these thoughts/decisions may be made subconsciously, they are still made by what you have lived through. Some people decide to go against their "gut" feeling, or what they know is right. By making those decisions, you absolutely prove you have control over what you are doing, or the choices that you make. You know that what you are doing is wrong, or that you should be doing something else, but you decide to do the former, regardless of being against your ?gut? feeling. Much has to do with what we were taught as children, but much also comes with understanding how to constructively look at your life and learn from the past, then also to make sure that you don?t repeat either what you have done or what was done to you. If you were shown anger as a child, more then likely you are going to show anger as an adult. Until you understand why you are doing something, you can?t really stop doing it. err, k, ?nuff blabbing? o_O

Very nice Kaola! How El' Professionalay', :: Clean lines 'n the expression and proportions are right on. Can't wait to see the coloured version. ^_^

Ilmiwyrth looked around the main yard for anything that seemed out of the ordinary, once satisfied that all was well; instructed two guards to remove the stationary heap that litter the yard. Ilmiwyrth shook his head in disbelief, the light from the surrounding fires hitting his face to show a glimmer of sadness. In his head, Ilmiwyrth was desperately searching for the answer he has been asking himself for all these long years now, Why can't people just accept...why...? Ilmiwyrth snapped out of his daze and beckoned for Otku and Ryshiel to his place. Once there, he instructed Otku to guide Rali to suitable quarters and Ryshiel to accompany him to the eating quarters. Otku's eyes fixed on Ilmiwyrth, and he knew that she was disappointed to have been ordered to go with Rali. Ilmiwyrth: You of course will be joining us in the Dining Hall Otku, after you have shown Rali to his room. Rali, please, you are also welcome to join us for our dinner. If you wish to attend, please wash up and Otku will lead you to the hall when you are ready. Do you have any personals with you? if so, I will have them sent up, they will be waiting for you upon your arrival. Rali: Thank you, My Lord. It will be an honor to work for you. I will begin to forge plans for tightened securities right away. With this Ilmiwyrth and Ryshiel walked off, both ordaining looks of satisfaction. Otku led Rali through the dark corridors and hallways, the torches hanging on the walls allowing the two to follow the narrow pathways to towers of the sleeping quarters of the armies? leaders. Rali eerily studied Otku as she lead him through the flickering lights, then, he spoke. Rali: What do you think of Ilmiwyrth? Do you believe he will prevail in this altercation with Reika and it's people? Otku gently turned around and stared at him in puzzlement. Otku: (in a quite voice) This is not something I only believe in, but something I know. Please, follow me. Just as Otku had turned, she had turned again and began to walk up the stairs of the final tower of where Rali would be staying. Rali watched her, then followed, skipping a few stairs to catch up to his guide. Finally, Otku and Rali reached their final destination; Otku opened the door and walked inside Rali?s room to find that all of his belongings had already been placed near his bedside. She slowly turned again and in a soft voice she spoke, Otku: It seems as if all is in order here. Will you be attending the feast this evening? She looked at Rali awaiting an answer, Rali stared back at her, stumbling for a reply. Rali: I will not be attending this evening. I would like to take a walk around the perimeter of the base this evening and study everything I can about the layout. If I am to tighten securities and protect Lord Ilmiwyrth, I must have an understanding of the surroundings. Relay this message to Lord Ilmiwyrth, tell him that I would like to meet with him at his first opportunity tomorrow to discuss what I ideas I have currently and will further this evening. Otku nodded her head and a slight grin washed over her face. Otku: I will relay your message; have a good evening Commander Kreigyr. With this Otku slipped out of the door and gently closed it behind her. Weaving back in and out through the hallways, Otku felt something strange come over her. Otku felt as though she were being watched, she looked behind her then began to have flashbacks of her past and the men that had drapped themselves over her. Otku began to sweat immediately and soon after that had dropped to her knees. What is going on, Otku asked herself, what is happening to me? At that moment Xaiver came upon her and with feverish urgency asked if she were well. Otku: Please... take me to Ilm... Silence. Otku did not finish her sentence; instead she had passed fully out and lay in still on the ground. Xaiver scooped her in his arms and went with speed to find Ilmiwyrth.

Hurmm, thats strange - its coming up for everyone else - ah well. I want to be judged - so here's the attachment Mr. Vash - O_o [i]EDIT[/i] Ermmm, come on, this thread is dying out, I've seen lots of imaginative peeps out here on OB. Post, post, post. ^_^

Fist of the North Star 'bout 13 years ago. I loved all the violence and the bloodshed, man I just remember staring at my TV in awe and thinking to myself...I must see more...

Name: Otku Age: 20 Gender: F Affiliation (good/evil): Evil Power: Deadly Poison, Detailed herb knowledge Weapon (if applicable)*: Looks, Poison Lips, Trusty Dagger Occupation (if applicable): Main Villain?s Trusted Sidekick. Appearance: Otku is a very beautiful girl, lightly browned skin, brown hair outstretching past her backside and big brown eyes to match. She stands 5'9" and weighs 130 pounds. Dressed in seductive, alluring clothing :: chains in all the right places :: men fall to her feet in no time. Bio: Otku was violently beaten and abused as a child and because of this has held a hatred for all men and the like. She ran away into the dark woods when she was still small and was able to fend for herself, both for food and shelter. As time went on, she moved out of various tree stumps and into a hut that had taken her over a month to erect. It was a lovely hut, tucked away secretly covered by bushes and trees by the lot. It was during this time in the woods that Otku grew stronger, both mentally and physically. Through practice and study, she memorized each plant and herb of the wood and what effect they had on man. One day she happened upon an herb that had a deadly, poisonous effect on anything it had touched - anything... but her. Then, one day, he came. The day Otku traded words with her visitor, the mysterious man that plagued the towns and cities of this land, was the day she vowed to never leave his side. Once that chance encounter in the woods transpired the night he found her, she knew she could keep nothing from him; it was if she was under a spell, one that she wanted never to be broken of. Otku is a loyal servant to her master and will follow him to the very ends of hell if that is where he wished to take her.

Interesting thread. How do I fall asleep? I have to have some kind of noise - as people above have mentioned. Most of the time it is the TV, set to a volume where you cant quite make out what the people are saying (or else I catch myself straining to pay attention to the TV and not to falling asleep.) I set the sleep timer so I don?t get woken up in the morning...sometimes I find noise to be louder in the morning then in the evening - weird, I know. I also like the sound that my fish tank gives off as the water is filtered - kind of like a fountain. Very relaxing. I like to stay up as long as I can, drawing or getting myself super tired and then just crawl into my bed (God I love that thing) drifting away to sweet delight. I have a slight obsession with pillows, all shapes and sizes, and whilst rolling around all crazy during the night, I always manage to incorporate a large many of them. *Getting sleepy thinking about bed* Gentle hair strokes (Yes, I love them too James) and comfy beds, ahhhhhhh, to be home.
