[QUOTE=Godelsensei] Look beyond, "It's just a toy...!" What do you see?[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I see a hollow malleable head. In all seriousness the girls that play with barbie these days are also likely to watch the poorly animated barbie movies. As I am right now, Rapunzel barbie. Ken is surprisingly not in the show, at least it doesn't look like him. Although I think I've lost my point there. The point I was going to make though, is that as a child I don't think they ever give much thought as to the kind of role-model they're being presented with. I see it more as an outlet to express possibilities and barbie does that. If you wish you could ride a horse, she can do it for you. Be a vet, go on holidays etc. etc. barbie allows so many children to visualize the possibilities. At least that was in my experience. I looked after my barbies, I loved that she could do anything, be anything that I could imagine. [spoiler]The funny thing is that before I had any real concept of sexual development.. my barbies were lesbians[/spoiler] 0_o[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Aiyisha][COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial] Hey, whatever happened to that mirai_torankusu guy?[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]*laughs* indeed, to think I have a picture of that guy on my wall :p After reading this I've learnt a whole lot about where certain members have gone, or didn't go for that matter. Just, disguised... Rather strange to try connect the old person with a new one. Not that I'm acquainted with anyone on OB, I just like seeing the familiar ones..[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I aboslutely judge a person by their looks. Whole heartedly. It's not intentional but during the first few moments before you even talk to the person how else am I suppose to determine if this individual is worth my time or not? How much do they care about their presentation? What kind of impression are they intending to give? Possibly social status. It says so much. Like someone else was saying, they don't really care too much and thus wear sweatshirts and jeans, that tells me they're a person comfortable with themself and really doesn't care what people think of them. Sure it's horribly judgemental but it's not something I can ignore. Afterall, a person's presented looks are a representation of their personality. At least I think so.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=James][color=#B0251E]But this conversation does remind me of something from Donnie Darko. I'll spoiler it though, so as not to offend anyone. [spoiler]"I mean, what's the point of living if you don't have a dick?"[/spoiler] [/color][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]So offended!! I'd say you haven't really seen the one person that starts you off onto a crazy downhill spiral of higher-thought suicide. Simply put, since you haven't had a crush on anyone yet. There hasn't been that absolutely cute girl (or guy) that just makes you smile the first time you've laid eyes on her. I remember the first time I had a crush, after that it's pretty easy to recognize the feeling. Before that I didn't really care for that kind of thing. But really, Carmen Elektra.. is really quite.. niiiiiiiice ^_____^ [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I cried more when my first pet rabbit died when I was about 7yrs old than when my friend died of a brain tumour when we were 9yrs old. Yea, so that's my initial experiences with death. I managed to mourn for 3 days over my rabbit, it was so emotionally traumatizing at the time, the mere reminder of her caused me to cry. As for my unfortunate friend who did suffer through chemotherapy, I cried at her funeral and never again since. I wouldn't know what to say to her if I had the chance, I didn't know what to say to her when she was alive in hospital. I guess I would probably say: "keep smiling, you're looking great." Although that would've been redundant. I don't know how she did it, but she always seeme so cheerful.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=AzureWolf][COLOR=blue]So yeah, I learned in high school that girls have some mafia-style connection, where if one of them hate you, all of them do, and some will go so far as to try and kick you in the balls. X_X [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Absolutely ^_~ I've even used that to my advantage a few times rather shamelessly. Well let me see, I can't quite fit in with the rest of the 'Azns' at my school because of their attitudes. I can't quite fit in with the 'white' people because they think I'm really 'Azn'. The thing is, both sides are quite racist towards each other, you can pick it up subtely by the under-handed comments and stereotyping, but no one ever admits to it. I s'pose neither side particularly know what to do with me. The other ethnicities/nationalities keep to themselves mostly as well so I don't mix with them either. "Multi-cultural society"? HA! A laughable matter.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Ah yes, the age old question of self-esteem. I suppose I'd rate myself and a lovley, roundedly most unextraordinary.. .. .. 5 Why? Because I never feel great about myself, but I'm not about to complain. I suppose it could be seen as a low self-esteem however I just don't really care. Basically it's a "Okay, so I suck at that thing, fine. I can deal with it." Even on my best days I don't have a great deal of confidence, I just have a tad more patience to deal with my short comings.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Godelsensei']Online, I don't even know, half the time. O_o There are people on my contact lists I don't remember the origins of, or even what their names are. All I know is I've never met them, IRL.[/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I like you too Godel, I like you too.. I don't consider someone a friend by going out of my way to keep in touch with them. I feel they're a friend as long as you meet up again sometime and can pick up where you left off as though you've never been apart. How else could I keep my oldest friend? I don't see her for months at a time even though we live within 20mins of each other but hey, somehow it works ^_^ In general I know a lot of people and have many acquaintances however as for real friends I feel I have a generous 5 people I could trust implicitly. I just hope that feeling is mutual :P I really don't know what to make of them. They're just there. Online is interesting, I about 3 overseas friends I will actively start a conversation with. I know one of them really well although I still haven't met any IRL. No worries, I'll just spontaneously become rich and buy myself a lot of airplane tickets to visit them.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Baron Samedi][SIZE=1']"OMG, mY l1f3 suxx sooo000ooo badd rite now mY Gf dUMpedD ,me i thINk alL GiLrs are EVIL!1!!"[/SIZE][/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]"OMFGZ!!!11 U r iz t3h Lo5er!!1!! GuYZ r dum!!" I'm kidding too. Anyway, unfortunately I haven't been the most fantastic friend and so now all I have left is associates.. everywhere. Just to make it clear, I'm not a backstabbing "EVIL GiLr" that treats my friends badly. I just don't make the effort to keep up the relationships. Online friends are somewhat the same, I talk to them but I don't really talk about anything with meaning anymore. There just isn't that closeness I use to feel when I really found them enjoyable company. At the moment, I'm quite close to my mum, y'know we go out together and hang out in general but we're not so close that I'd tell her my problems. My older brother is a poopie person therefore I've been treating him poopily as of late, I guess the mutual "let's not talk unless necessary" beats arguing everyday like we use to..lol. And lastly, most of my teachers know me however I do have one teacher I run into occassionally who has the habit of asking if I'm alright. It's nice to let on one or two things to her since it's a less biased point of view. Hmm.. from the looks of things I haven't been very sociable as of late.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I was thinking of entering my school's poetry competition so this is what I managed to come up with. Obviously as a school thing I had to make sure it was somewhat appropriate. I have just been having trouble trying to fix up a few lines and punctuation and would appreciate the suggestions. [/SIZE][/COLOR] A terrible voice knocked me down my vision flying asunder. Next to me lay a wreckage, a crazy dance began; my head launching to break his foot. Or, was it the other way round? Sentences frayed before they started as another pain made me frown I had a really bad gut feeling. The blood dripped with tears I didn't own, A bitter silence came sweetly next. Life didn't seem quite right, Staring regretfully at the broken toy. [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Yes, I do realize some of the line flows are awful but, I'm in to win, so critique it. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Be an ignoramus at the door and tell him that it isn't a good time and come back in some other lifetime. Whatever he says, respond "it's a bad time." I'm sure you can feign being too busy to let him in. It's good you and your brother are close, but don't you ever want alone time? To yourself where you're alone and just, need to be alone? Just because you can't lock your bedroom door doesn't mean you don't have a door you can't close. I close my door all the time. Sometimes it helps to put a sign on it telling people you need alone time. And to respond to your question to do with hating someone.. Yes just the one. Although I wouldn't call it hate. I think it's an allergic reaction since any sort of communication with him or just the sight of him makes me feel sick enough to puke. It's hillarious to think about it later though ^^" On an unrelated note: *half sarcastically* Yes Azurewolf, no man is a man if he hasn't been in a fight. What machoism, what hotness.lol.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Queen Asuka][color=hotpink][size=1]I don't cry at movies and such. But yeah, I DO cry. And it hurts me to cry, physically, for some reason. I always get really nauseous.[/color'][/size][/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]That really sucks. I don't get nauseous though, however I always manage to be on the verge of hyperventilating. In fact last month I couldn't find a bag to breathe into so I stuck my head under the blankets. I swear I must be really high-strung. At least it helps me to appreciate the fact that hyperventilation is not that easy to control. Personally I absolutely detest it when I cry, it is a pride issue though. I do not care if someone else cries, I care if I do. I also despise the fact that the next day my eyelids get so swollen I can hardly open my eyes. :animecry: I suppose the only way to prevent myself from crying is to stop being so irritable that my feelings coalesce into tears of frustration. Although last year my friend and I had a competition to see who could make each other cry with laughter the most. I won it 1-5. That was hillarious. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Hmm.. in reference to what the thread starter said about drivers.. is that it [i]bothered[/i] me that during my driving test this morning, two people sped past me dangerously to pass. The first was while I was trying to turn right and I slowed down so I wouldn't cut the corner but the lady cut the corner whilst speeding past me. The other guy sped past me down a narrow road. What also [i]bothered[/i] me is that despite their driving make me look like the best driver in the world, I still managed to fail -__-" I [i]hate[/i] myself for that. Now, onto things I truly hate (things which took me a few minutes to think of): -Snoop Dog's, "Drop it like it's hot". Especially in the advertisment because they call it a "masterpiece".. oh puh-lease you can't chant that phrase to an annoying rhythm and call it a "masterpiece", let alone call it music. Just like you can't paint a 2x2m canvas in a grotesque pink colour, name it "Seductive Colour" and put it in the largest art museum in NZ.. ARGH!!! Don't even get me started on anything that's similar to the two combined aforementioned points. -I hate large crowds. Which tends to make school a difficult place for me to relax in : / -I hate the [i]'bloody'[/i] burden that females get for their child-birthing abilities... And that's about it, I just tend to get irritated a lot, but not so much of that downright spitefully loathing hate I had for most of last year. I seem so hate-less compared to the last 3 pages of 'I hates..' I read through. tsk tsk, so much anger :P[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Baron Samedi][size=1] Flustered? Dramatic? *rereads his post* Nope, I'm not seeing it. Anyway, I don't know why you didn't change quirked, but hey, whatever. Your story ~_^[/size][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I know you can get vindictive if you say his voice is equivocal to Steve Irwin's :P that 'hell' statment he made last time must explain for the unbearable heat I've been experiencing lately. Aside from that this chapter is probably one of my favourites for some reason. Probably because I find the James' characters' intensity very hot. Nothing like a knife to get things going.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Well.. I know with the Chinese arranged marriages use to be a common place if not a requirement. It was set up by the village match maker as soon as the child was born, basing the compatability on various atrological points. The point is that they didn't have a choice in the matter, however despite that, most of the couples [i]learnt to love each other[/i]. Mostly out of neccessity as they were both in the same situation. Image and honour were important, therefore the husband had to sleep with the wife, the only problem is that if he didn't do it he could blame her 'infertility' for not bearing him a son. Although, Epitome, your friend is clearly not completely without choice. Afterall he had the option of actually escaping to America. I wish him all the best though, he's lucky that he managed to hit it off with her ^_^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Baron Samedi][size=1']My intentions were to write my name everywhere, so that when Aliens came to investigate 5000 years later, they'll think I was some kind of God ~_^[/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Whom I believe to sound like Steve Irwin because I already gave James the voice of that guy from Cyote Ugly :P[/SIZE][/COLOR] [QUOTE=Baron Samedi][size=1] Besides, under any other circumstances, would eating another human be something acceptable?[/size][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Yes there would be. If you lived in a cannibalistic tribe that has been isolated by the harsh jungles of the Amazon. All in all, I think it's somewhat unnatural for people to think of eating each other because of our social nature. Unlike some animals that cannibalise eg. some snakes, we're not so desperately hungry an anti-social that we'd eat our babies (except for the odd cannibalistic homocidal maniac). Instead people are more likely to throw the baby in the trash so there's one less mouth to feed, however, that's an entirely different debate altogether.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=elfpirate] [font=Times New Roman][color=black][b]Why would eating a human be anymore wrong than eating an animal that many consider to be a part of the family, such as a cat or dog?[/b][/color][/font][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Well, when you think about it humans can quite possibly be literally part of the family. Or at least be a friend. In fact I'd prefer not to eat a human because wouldn't it be awkward if you met their parents? "Uh.. yes.. I've met your son/daughter. I ate their arm o__o" Also as a human and knowing what we do throughout the day, I'd feel quite disgusted to eat a creature that lives like that ^^" Unless it were a nicely cooked piece of human it'd be put into consideration, but if you're stuck eating a dead person out in the middle of nowwhere, I don't imagine I'd get the luxury of having it finely roasted with a touch of wine. However, animals are a silent companion and can never really offer the same range of fulfillment a human can. I personally don't think there's any difference in eating a cat/dog as there is to pig/cow. Both can and have been pets. People eat fish and keep them as pets. Same with snakes, snails etc. etc. P.S My mummy told me that the big black dogs are the tastiest :P (although I think she just says that to pull my leg)[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I saw this and thought.. "hey, I know the perfect song. Not to mention I absolutely hate it as well!!!"

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Mm.. this was quite good. In the sense that it was a plot mover. I think it's good that it isn't constant action/humour because it helps to keep the story on track. ~Keep on swimming, keep on swimming :P[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Argh.. finally I get around to reading these two charming chapters. I have to say, when you originally mentioned an Australian character I was quite sure it was Baron. Although I'm terribly sorry I'm not a fan of the Aussie accent. I'm also terribly sorry to Baron, in my head I keep sticking you with Steve Irwin's voice XD Aiside from that, I cracked up laughing at the "flaming". Jeez, I thought you guys were better writers than that :P[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]hahaha.. the part about it being Ramadan, and wanting to eat his bills was good. I feel silly for laughing, but then again the entire feel of your stories are a loose mix of superflously seriuos morbidness. If you get what I mean. n_n[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1].. most people seem so negative about highschool. *scratches head* I'm Yr 13 now, obviously top of the school, plus they highlight it by letting us wear mufti whereas everyone else is in uniform. I've never been much good at keeping to one group of friends so.. in my 4 years at my current school I've been with about 3 different groups, not counting outside of school. It keeps things interesting I suppose and I get the amusement of hearing different bits of gossip from all sides. Mostly 'close-friends' criticizing each other for something stupid they did :P Great fun, really. It honestly amuses me. I actually agree with Lore (Sara) about the part about not being too serious in school. Do the work and find amusement where ever possible. It's just so pointless to get caught up in the drama, or to even care that it's happening. Ahahaha, my Biology teacher amuses me a great deal, it's been the 3rd year I've had him in a row (although I can request for a class change because of that) but this year in some attempt to compensate for his shiny bald headedness he's got a fully bushy beard that has a white stripe down the middle. I wanted to crack up laughing but that would be rude. There are the days that I can't stand it, there are the other days that I decide it's not so bad. Which it isn't. My only greatest problem is the motivation to do homework, but at my level, it's mostly on a "you don't do it, it's your loss" basis. I guess the funnest part so far is going out to the mall during free period in search of air conditioning ^__^ Or looking after the new yr 9's. They are a strange lot.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Yume Tenshi']ok so my brother is a little weird but what do you think he my brother where all cazy here. I still hate it just cause poeple are stupid and they just do stupid stuff. But you would hate it if you where me i had to spend last year with my brother and all he did was make out in front of me and then they went back to his bedroom and had sex with his girlfriend and i was still in the house .[/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]0_o man, I feel sorry for you. I personally try to be indifferent to it but thinking about it makes me think of how I would treat a soggy, mouldy, 3 month old 'something' that you find festering in the corner of your room.. eurgh. My last Valentines seemed rather twisted and not forgettable. I dunno, maybe the fact that my bf at the time got my friend a soft toy as well, not to mention he actually got them mixed up. So I got the one he intended to give to my friend and vice versa. Or perhaps it was the impending cloud that hung over head expectantly the entire weeks coming up to it, mostly consisting of him trying to pry clues of what to get me despite my saying "Why don't we just go out that day like usual? And don't get me anything : /" Even though we may have agreed we weren't going to make a big deal of it, you can still [i]sense the expectations[/i] for all couples for that day. When you see a couple on the street you'll likely automatically assume that they'll do something special on that day. Couples themselves may look at each other and have the same assumption. I don't think it's a waste of time, it's just that there's an arbritrary feeling of pressure to do something significant that day which somewhat ruins the point.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I shall be honest for once, and agree that [i]lying is pointless[/i]. Since I don't feel that a straight out lie is ever neccessary, I'm more of a "[b]someone who can eloquently gloss over details[/b]". As horrible as it might seem I can't help but twist certain facts or just word something carefully so that it isn't a fault of mine, or just to make myself seem alittle better. Then there are those occassions where I use the cover of sarcasm so that they won't know what I actually mean. Eh, it's not as though I'm incapable of telling the complete truth, it just really depends.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
