[size=1][color=slategray]I know there is a yaoi thread, but I think there needed to be one dedicated to yuri... and if there is already one... sorry. XD Anywho. I'm reaching out to you manga gurus. I need some good recommendations for yuri manga. Mind you, I cannot read Japanese, so, obviously... it will have to be a translated series. Whenever I go searching for some new titles, I come up empty handed. But I am very open to any series, because so far, I really haven't read any in the yuri area. I'd love to, though. So, any suggestions? Also, to add for conversation... what's been your favorite shoujo-ai/yuri series? (If you already haven't explained in your recommendation.) Discuss![/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]It's been about ten days since this was last posted in... but, I had to comment. Hee hee, these made me giggle. Which is saying something, since usually I don't giggle. XD The artwork is fairly decent, considering it was done on Paint. And I like the humor. I wish I could use Sharingan on DDR... it'd make life easier. Good job. And hopefully you'll come back and update this again.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]Normally I don't get bored, I involve myself with enough things to avoid being bored. But, some things I do are playing video games or searching for new ones to purchase. For example, yesterday I went to Best Buy and bought Jak X Combat Racing. Generally I don't dig racing games, but... it's Jak and Daxter, of course I love it. Plus you get to have death matches, oh how I love killing Ashelin. XD I also read and write frequently. I'm a really big fan fiction writer, so, I do a lot of that. Plus, reading them is quite lovely, too. Lately I've been getting really big into yaoi and yuri manga. So, I tend to search hours on end for new series and adding them to my list of things I need to read. Watching Teen Titans reruns is fun too.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]I never had much luck with diseases when I was younger. The only one that nearly killed me was when I was four. I'd gotten Kawasaki disease, which, apparently, is a very rare sickness in children. I guess they are born with it or something, I don't remember. Anyway. My temperature sky-rocketed and I refused to eat or drink. Since every part of my body was too busy trying to fight the disease, it wasn't focused on the essentials. I was never hungry, never thirsty. So, I wasn't absorbing any nutrients and I was always dehydrated. Yet, none of the doctors could figure out what was wrong with me. They continued to take spinal taps(though I don't remember them... I must have blocked them out of my mind or something...) and tried to force me to eat, etc. So, basically, I was wasting away. I'd been in the hospital for about two months before a doctor came along that knew what was wrong. She diagnosed me with Kawasaki and started putting me on medication and an IV. I recovered a few weeks later. If that doctor hadn't come along, I can't say I'd be here typing this right now. I've had a few water experiences, but nothing too bad. If I explained it, I'm sure I'd make it sound overdramatic. But I always ended up getting pulled out by the hair. Huh. XD[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]It's okay, mangamaniack21, it gets some taking used to. But, for some friendly advice, next time make use of that edit post button instead of double posting. ^.^ Anyway... When I was younger I assumed that anime was only and could only be made in Japan. But that's no longer the case. You see, anime is more of a style, a way of animation that makes it so special. Therefore, it doesn't really matter where it's made. There is a good deal of Americans that make anime, whether it be for their own personal interest, or it's a business. A lot of countries contribute to the growth of anime, too. Korea, France, China, etc. Sure, it originated in Japan, but it doesn't have to be made there to classify as a real anime/manga. Look at Tokyopop's "Rising Stars of Manga", for example. Hell, I heard even CosmoGirl has been making a little manga lasting one page in every issue of their magazine. I heard it was horrible, though, but that's besides the point. XD So, sure! Go for it. If you are good at what you do, there is really nothing stopping you. And don't listen to the people who say it's not really anime, they obviously don't know what they're talking about. :)[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]Some of the insensitive and just... ignorant things I've read in this so far... has, in all honesty, made me want to cry. I know everyone has an opinion on such things, and with such a heavy topic, it just screams controversy. But, still. Wow, people have not changed much through all this, even though we've claimed to have gone through an equality evolution. What with women and African Americans(and any other races that have gone through hardships) gaining equal rights in this country. Yet, now it's directed toward homosexuality? We'll never be able to be in peace, will we? We'll always find something new to quarrel about, no matter the circumstances. Does anyone else find that pathetic? People talk about how being homosexual is so "bad" and it goes against religion and morals. But who has set these standards? Only us, in our misunderstanding. Only us, we will always be the ones to set the standards, the expectations. Don't blame this on your religious figures; as I've heard, God accepts and loves all of his "children." According to so many people, isn't he the one who ultimately creates us? So what does that mean, if people are born naturally being homosexual? That must mean God meant it to be that way. Don't be so foolish. There are many religious people that also happen to be of different sexual orientations, and I think it's disgusting that people of their own religion would simply point fingers and claim them to be different and diseased. Also, since when has marriage been about heterosexual love? It's simply about love. If you find someone you connect deeply with, someone you love, it doesn't matter what gender they are. Your love could be your friggin' house plant, for all I care. As long as you love that being. The only reason a male and a female being together is dubbed as "normal" is because it's essential for them to mate, to continue in our species growth. Once you have that growth, there is really no reason for you to be with that person. Humans have a higher need for company, though. We build our social status, we build relationships. For what? For love, for the need of acceptance. So WHY should it matter WHO you love or who loves you? To me, being homosexual is normal. Sexuality should not be an issue. I know this is only a feeble cry out, because people will continue to judge. I guess we just can't help it. But I'm ashamed of that. As for Bush: I've never liked him. Never will. In fact, I didn't like Kerry either. I rarely look into politics, but when I see Bush on the television, I simply get infuriated. All I see is a man that hardly knows what he's doing behind that podium, a man who sent us into an unnecessary war, the list goes on. I think I've vented enough for this round. No more rants from your Bláse.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]I only get depressed here and there, I guess I've had no major problems with it, depending on what you'd call major. I've never exactly met someone that I've connected well with, and I know in the end, everyone I'm remotely attatched to will leave. So, that thought gets me down sometimes. Generally, however, I take a more mellow approach to it. In the end I guess it doesn't really matter. I've had days where that's all I'd think about, and even though I'm used to being more... secluded... it gets, well, depressing. The only thing I do in those stages is lay around, sleep, eat something irresistibly sugary, and take many lovely showers. Reading yaoi fan fictions lift my spirits, too, as always. :P Everyone has their own way of dealing with depression, you just need to find yours. And, remember... "depression hurts." (What medication was that again?) That commercial makes me laugh for some reason. >>[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]OOC: Bummer. Anyway, I noticed this hasn't been posted in for four days... *revives RPG* Now post. >:O ------------------- Miloe sat down on a stool and rested her elbows on the table. She hadn't meant to offend Daemon earlier, so she hoped she hadn't. He was busy making the pasta, he looked so concentrated, she just had to smile. He looked up from the stove. "What?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "... nothing..." Miloe looked away. He turned back around and set out a pan full of sauce to heat up. After a few more minutes of silence, Daemon turned back around. He had two plates of hot pasta in his hands. He handed one to Miloe and retrieved a stool for himself. The two of them ate hungrily, being as they were clearly starving from the lack of food so far. "Is it okay?" Daemon asked when he had finished. "... it's great..." Miloe replied, taking another bite. "Hmmm..." "... [I]what[/I]?" Miloe asked, losing her patience. "Nothing. Sorry," Daemon said. She took another bite then got up. "Jeez... talk about awkward...." She mumbled, then walked back out into the living room, leaving Daemon to clean up the kitchen.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]I find no problem with it, especially considering that I find no higher way to bind two people other than moving in together. Marriage means absolutely nothing to me, so, moving in together is basically the equivalency of getting married without the whole "til death do us part" thing. Personally, however, I wouldn't move in with someone. As I said before, it is basically like getting married, without saying it formally and the whole sha-bang. And I detest the thought of commitment to that level. But that's just me. Yet, it would give you a better look at how your partner would act when you have to be around them 24/7. That can either be good or bad. It's like a test drive, while sharing rent. I did get advice once, however, not to "shack up" but simply stay engaged your whole life. Because, your fiance wants to keep you all lovely and happy so you are not discouraged in your joining. Therefore, if you keep delaying the wedding your whole life, your partner will be a darling. Problem solved. XD Anyway, yeah. I don't really know what I accomplished by replying to this.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]"Ready for the grand tour?" Daemon asked, smiling at Miloe. "... I suppose so," She said finally, jumping off the motorcycle. "... Nice repair job..." "Are you being sarcastic or do you actually mean it? You're sort of a hard one to understand, you know?" Daemon said, leading her to the front door. "... I get that a lot." "Hmm... well, anyway. I think I did a pretty decent job. I just hope there is still some good food in here..." They both stepped inside and walked down a short hallway to what appeared to be the living room. It was a small house, but Miloe figured you didn't need much space when you lived by yourself. Or, at least, since Daemon hadn't spoken of his family, she had automatically guessed he'd been on his own. "So... how long were you here by yourself?" Miloe questioned quietly, making her way over to a couch. Daemon flipped on a lamp and sat down next to her. "About three years." He didn't look at her. "... Why were you by yourself?" "Family problems. School problems." He was staring down at his knees. "... So, really... you mean... [I]you[/I] were the problem," Miloe blurted. "Damn it, Miloe," Daemon stood up suddenly, facing the wall, avoiding her eyes. "I don't want to be interrogated, got it?" "Is... is that why you always act so cheerful... fun? ... I can tell when people are faking it, I guess... maybe it's because I spent my whole life just... observing.... As you can guess... I was never... never really the talker," Miloe said, staring at his back. "What exactly are you trying to get at?" Daemon spun around, returning her gaze. She looked down at her hands instead. "... Nothing. Sorry... nevermind." "Whatever," Daemon replied, walking away towards the kitchen. "You hungry?" --------------------- OOC: How did tanukioh get banned, anyway? [/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]OOC: How romantic, Sazabi. XD ------------------ Silently wishing that she should go home, Miloe secured her arms back around Daemon's waist as they took off again. She had hoped they could find a way back to her house, so she could see her father and younger brother. It seemed like it had been forever since she had parted from them to start her new life at Serenity View. But, she knew she wouldn't be able to see them until this hell was over. After awhile, the motorcycle's humming ceased. Miloe detatched herself from Daemon to get a better look. "What do you think?" He asked, looking back at her. "..." She didn't reply, just stared blankly ahead. "Look, I know you want to go back to your house, but this is the best I can do. Sorry." He watched her until she finally nodded. Then he kicked out the stand and hopped off the bike. Miloe stayed stationary, hugging herself. Apparently she had returned to her normal self, the aggresive impulses had subsided. Daemon walked around for a bit, checking things out, then returned to the side of the motorcycle. He held his hand out to Miloe. "You coming or what?"[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]I believe that when we die, we die. Nothing afterwards. Our brain ceases to work and our bodies deteriorate. The person you were no longer exists. Yet, I have yet to discover the logical explaination of ghosts if that's what happens. I guess some things cannot be explained, or maybe "ghosts" are just our own minds playing games with us. Anyway, personally, I'm Atheist. So no, I do not belive in Heaven or Hell. To a point I believe in reincarnation. But that is hard to explain as well. At this point in life, I don't think anything happens to you. You are buried and you are marked. That's about it.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]And some of you are taking this so seriously... why? It's fun and most people know pick-up lines are cheesey. But, some lounge lizards actually use this stuff, haha. Calm down. XD Oh yeah, PWNED's post reminded me of the Taco Bell pick-up line. Since the two are basically the same thing. "I'm no Taco Bell worker, but I'll stuff beef in your taco." Something like that. >>[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]OOC: Sorry for my absence, I've been on a trip to Washington D.C. and New York. Time was tight, so there wasn't any time for me to get onto a computer. Well, I'm back now, so... hopefully the three of us can keep it going til the end. Eh. ------------ Miloe had her arms wrapped around Daemon securely, resting her head on his back. The rumbling from the motorcycle was strangely relaxing. Apparently she had dosed off, because before she knew it, they had stopped moving. "Hey, Miloe?" Daemon said softly. "Hmm?" She replied groggily, letting go of him and sitting straight. "I... I think we lost Char and Mika." "[I]What[/I]?" She snapped to attention, looking around their current surroundings. Trees. And lots of them. "I was following them, but I guess I took a wrong turn or something... and now..." He looked around hopelessly. "... Do you... know where we are?" Miloe asked. "Apparently the woods." "No... I mean.... like... are we near... any towns?" She said, "So... we could find a place to... you know, stay." "I don't know, Miloe. Why? Do you have an idea?" Daemon responded, shifting his position so he was facing her. "We... we could crash at my place.... the town where I live is... is only about twenty miles from Serenity View," She offered. "That'd be nice, but I don't even know if we are anywhere [I]near[/I] the town Serenity View is in. We need to find Char and Mika, soon," He said, turning back around and starting the motorcycle back up.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]Okay, I just saw it last night. I thought it was great, but for some reason it didn't give me the same feeling as the two previous movies. I was a little disappointed that NightCrawler wasn't present at all throughout the movie. I mean, where the hell did he teleport off to? I have to agree with a lot of you on the whole character thing. I mean, the third movie sort of defeated the whole purpose of building up the story before with Rogue and such. I felt that she was just completey booted out of the picture. I liked it, but it left me feeling... unfulfilled. I just KNEW that [spoiler]Charles would come back as that man-man in the hospital bed. The way he was talking about it in class and sort of the concentrated look he had on his face when he was being obliterated by Phoenix-Jean. I wasn't all too surprised by that, and I was just like... "Yeah, go Charles."[/spoiler] Whenever Jean[spoiler] did the whole Phoenix thing[/spoiler] her look reminded me heavily of Dunmer off of the Elder Scrolls games. XD Well... er... *hugs X-Men* that's all I really have to say. [spoiler]I'm guessing there's a fourth one?[/spoiler] But I thought it was only supposed to be a trilogy. (By the way, what is it with trilogies, anyway? XP)[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]"I'm no Fred Flintstone, but I'll make your bed rock." XD I hope you don't actually use that. (I used to know a good one about Taco Bell... but it seems to have slipped my mind.)[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]OMG! *drowns* I'm officially your new fangirl. I love it, thanks a ton.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]"... holy shit... do they just go into robot mode on command or something?" Miloe whispered, pushing Char's hand away from her mouth. "I'm not dealing with that... I'm getting out of here... I've used up enough energy today..." Miloe said quietly, making a movement to get up. "No," Char hissed. "They'll be after us anyway." "Well, what do you expect me to do? I can't fight like this. And like you said, what are we supposed to do? There is only four of us..." Miloe replied. "Well, we have to do [I]something[/I]," Mika joined in on the hushed conversation. "Yeah, they're getting closer..." Daemon added. "Couldn't we just... pretend to have the chips or something?" Mika asked. "... Would they be able to see through it?" Miloe directed the question to Char. "How should I know?" "Well... you were sort of high in the operation for awhile, there..." Miloe replied. Char shrugged. "So, what do you say? Should we try it out?"[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]Everyone has their own type of knowledge. Someone could sit in front of the TV watching Discovery Channel all hours of the day and still do horribly in school. Simply because you know about things in different areas. If you know about things that others do not, wonderful. Striving to be knowledgeable is not wrong. Hell, the whole point of having a brain is learning. Living things are naturally curious and yearn to learn, at least about something. [/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]Well, I was talking to my friend when we heard this radio broadcast that said this: A child predator/sex offender was caught and put on trial for the molestation of about two or three kids, right? Well, they went through the whole trial and at the end, the judge just put him on probation for a few months because he was, "Too short to go to prison." Apparently he had only been about 5'. WHAT?! That means midgets(no offense to whoever they are) could practially get away with murder and be sent off with a warning. According to that judge, anyway.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]Thanks for taking up the job, Keyblade Wielder. I'm glad I'm loved. XD[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray]OOC: Oopsies, almost forgot about this. >> * feels bad* ------------------ Miloe was left shocked at the sudden death of Derrick. But she couldn't grieve for him for long, there was still Mika to deal with. A huge ball of flame hurdled at her and Char. Derrick's death had completely side tracked her from Daemon, leaving her in a vulnerable situation from behind. Mika blasted more fire balls toward Char, making him yell out to Miloe. Yet, she just stood there. Mika acknowledged that fact that she was immobile, Mika smirked. "Ready to face the flames, witch?" Mika jeered, creeping closer to her. When Mika was a foot away from her, Miloe returned the smirk. "Not quite... Daemon, [I]NOW[/I]!" Miloe yelled. "Huh?" Mika spun around, but was too late. Daemon lunged what appeared to be a staff into her stomach. "Oof!" Miloe rushed forward, fusing in with Mika. "Char," She called out in Mika's voice. "Get one of those wires ready... just... let's try not to kill this one... okay?" She said shakily. She realized just how awful that sounded as soon as it came out of Mika's mouth. Char didn't reply, but nodded and held up on of the wires carefully. Miloe moved Mika forward and as soon as she got close enough to the wire, she fell back out of her. Char threw the wire at Mika before she could realize what was going on. "Ahh!" She let out when the wire touched her. She collapsed onto the floor and Miloe, Char, and Daemon rushed forward. Mika blinked up at them. "Wha-?" Miloe sighed and reached into her pocket, bringing a cigarette up to her slightly parted lips. "That's it then. It's over," Daemon said. "Not quite," Miloe replied. "What do you mean?" "She means, the rest of the school," Char said. "Yeah, if this was as hard as it was with just a few people... there is no way in fucking hell I am tackling a whole school of brain washed mutants," Miloe stated. They all stayed quiet for a moment as Mika started to remember what went on. "Oh Jesus," Mika grumbled, massaging her temples. "Can't say I can believe in him after something like this..." Miloe said, the unlit cigarette resting in the corner of her mouth. Mika looked up. "Need a light?" She asked, snapping her fingers, creating a small flame. "I mean, it's the least I could do... I just tried to kill you..." Miloe looked at her cautiously, then held the cigarette to the flame and brought it back to her lips. Char and Daemon just watched them, Daemon smiling faintly. "What?" Miloe asked, giving Daemon a questioning look. "Never heard you talk to so freely and [I]aggresively[/I], for that matter," Daemon replied. "Heh, don't get used to it. I think this is the only day I'll break the mold."[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=slategray] *Tries extra hard not to read the spoilers* I watched the first two X-Men movies today to prepare myself to go see it. I'm not sure when it's supposed to get to our theaters (small towns are awful when it comes to getting movies... especially if you only have three screening rooms in the theater... >.

[size=1][color=slategray]Child Predators are everywhere, there isn't really a way to stop it, and there is no set way to avoid it. People need to deal with it, there are people with needs and fetishes that society calls sick. A majority of teenage girls do act and dress like sluts, because they have hormones off the wall and there are a lot of influences out there that make them think they have to be like that. And girls want boyfriends, and they know how to get them. It's called manipulation. Generally these girls think they won't be preyed on by these Child Predators because most people have the "Oh, that happened in California, it won't happen to me, blah blah." attitude. So, I can see where people are coming from when they say these are innocent girls. Yet, I think some of them should wise up. If people are blaming those already well acknowledged subjects, that are indeed quite obvious, then that is their fault, and it sucks to be MySpace. But at least MySpace is getting coverage, whether bad or not, more people will join because of it. By the way, I only use MySpace to listen to music. Which was basically the site's main purpose in the first place. Go free music.[/color][/size]
