Godelsensei

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Well, in the way of straight and simple coolness, I'd have to agree that (although I cannot stand the series--Trigun) Wolfwood's weapon is near the top, due to the sheer obscure irony of it. Sagara Sanosuke's (Kenshin) Zanbatou is immensely cool, though it's not very practical. The degree of damage (Sorry if I sound rather DnD-ish in the upcoming rest of the post.^^") one would take from it if hit is immense, but due to its size it would be very difficult to wield, and even if you [i]could[/i] lift it, its length would make it hard to maneuver. However, I suppose one could also use it as a bludgeoning weapon, as it [i]is[/i] so heavy. xD One of the best cleavers I've ever seen. Zabuza's (Naruto) version of the same basic weapon is actually of significantly better design, as it is clearly lighter, and also due to the fact that it has a dip in the blade for blood to gather in, preventing it from getting on the user's hands, making them slippery. It also looks alot prettier. Though they aren't specific to any one character (even though Haku [Naruto] does use them as his primary weapon) [i]senbon[/i] are very neat, as they can also be used as medical tools, the irony of which is just a touch scary. Kenshin's [i]sakabouto[/i] is pretty neat because it's deadly yet not so at the same time. (He [Spoiler][i]does[/i] flip the thing around once or twice, if you'll remember.[/Spoiler]) Aoshi's twin swords are quite cool, as well, simply because they're twin weapons, requiring ambidexterity, which is always very cool, somehow. Another weapon I've always had an affinity for is the scythe that the gay guy in the Juppongatana wields. The addition of the mace at the bottom makes for a particularly dangerous game of Hop-it. xD (*jump jump jump* "AUGH AUGH!! That's not supposed to come off!!!") Temari's (Naruto again) giant three-star fan is pretty damn awesome, as well. I mean, who doesn't love a weapon that can blow all your enemies weapons back at them? It can also be used as a bludgeoning weapon, of course, and something to [Spoiler]hide behind when fighting Shikamaru.[/Spoiler] Karasu (Naruto) is another truly innovative weapon, seeing as it doubles as a puppet. And to continue with more Naruto... [Spoiler]If you're a certain some one, you can always just rip out your spine and use that to kill people with.[/Spoiler][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Aw man...and you had me thinking I could start my own thread about Otogizoushi! Okay, fine, [i]I[/i] had me thinking that, but still. I've only seen up to episode two, but I agree with Arvie-san's observation that this show screams "Japanese". I don't exactly know my Japanese history to any degree of even half-perfection, but I'm guessing the time frame is the early 1100's, as I've seen no sign of "gai-jin" anywhere. (You know, they probably told me the date in the actual show somewhere, but I am too clued out to remember...) Five minutes in, Hikaru and Tsuna began to bug me, and Tsuna still makes me grumble at the mention of [i]bushido[/i], but Hikaru is begining to prove herself to be a very cool young lady. This series does remind me a great deal of Princess Mononoke, somehow, whether it be the ride-by attack effects and the archery, or something completely different that I simply cannot put my finger on. Any one else getting the same vibes, or am I just going crazy? O_o Usui-san is a pretty cool dude, too, barring the pink. *mble grmble* Why the pink and purple?? Why?? Oh well, at least he [Spoiler]changes his clothes[/Spoiler] later. Not much of a spoiler, eh? *laughs* *loves the animation* There's another one for the download list. Which I really ought to update. Man...that thing's been sitting there a while, with info from three months ago. Actually, it was probably deleted when my computer was fixed, anyway...>_> *goes to look for it* Edit: Okay, I read Dan's post and now I know the time frame. Go reading things before responding to them![/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]I can't believe I haven't posted here yet: after all, Godel simply loves Gravitation. I haven't actually watched the show, but I have read the first eight volumes of the manga, and it would be a complete and utter lie to say I disliked this series in any way. My favourite volumes will always be one through four, because I thought the characters had the most realistic substance throughout them. Yes, that box-set is lovely, isn't it, Skippedry-chan? *wants it* The only thing I don't like about it is Hiro's shirt. O_o"" Leopard skin never looks good on [i]any[/i]thing or one--don't you agree? Actually, a comic-book shop around here is screening Gravitation in the evenings of September. Too bad I wont realistically be at Yonge and Eglington at 9pm. *mutter* Stupid Universe! Ruining everything for me! [Spoiler]Yeah, you were right Skippedry-chan--I do like K-san. He's pretty cool--for an American.[/Spoiler] xP *steals your box-set and runs away laughing maniacally* Edit: Seeing as the Hairy T stuck a picture of Yuki on their "anime screenings" banner on their site, I am sure they're selling Gravi there. (

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]I love the entire concept of One Piece. The whymsical animation and fight scenes, along with the entire notion of pirates make for a great series that lacks the seriousness that would have ruined the whole damn thing. xP I've only read a few chapteres of the manga, but I adore this series, and am considering bying a few pirated DVDs. It's a bit long, though, to start now. Poo. Would some one PM me with a location for downloading the manga? Please?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Gee, Dan, Dowser does sound dumb. xD I can't stand Samurai 7. I hate it. Not in the spirit of wanting to be flamed or anything, but I simply cannot stand this series. I watched one episode and that was it for me. I found the art ugly, the concept dull, the character designs blase, the whole mech thing kind of annoying, and the music was pretty bad. But hey: that's just me.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Not really my style [at all], but oh! how I love it so! (If I didn't, I wouldn't have $90.00 worth of the flopp-ed manga sitting on my shelf. That's just three volumes, but hey...$$$$) I've read volumes one, fifteen, and 18, and think Mousse to be a very cool guy, despite popular opinion. Although, like with most stories like this, I can't stand 95% of the cast, the interaction between characters is downright hysterical most of the time. As is to be expected, however, the series slows down and becomes repetitive after a while. I got tired after reading three volumes, though I'll pick up one of them and chuckle now and again. The art isn't really my favourite, and the characters are pretty generic, but I respect the mangaka hugely, and think Nabiki and Dr Tofu are pretty damn cool. What's so breath-of-fresh-air about it, may I ask? Heh. My only real problem with Ranma 1/2 is the fight scenes are kinda super-dull. Pft. Genma = uber awesome.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]I've read absolutely nothing of this entire thread thus far, and therefore am most likely going to repeat what other people have said. However, seeing as I haven't posted here yet, and Skippedry ordered it, I will make a lengthy post about everything I love about Champloo. You still have time to take another shot of espresso; this could take a while. Let's start this off with a basic, well-known, obvious fact: any show that simultaneously involves two of the greatest things that have ever come into existance (J-hop and bloody fighting sequences, involving attractive [i]ronin[/i]) automatically gets my approval. *Godel's stamp of approval* Throw in some [Spoiler]breakdancing, rapping minions, killer flying squirrels named Momo-chan (the Japanese equivalent of "Fluffy"), crazed clog-wearing Dutch guys whose presence make no sense whatsoever, a complete lack of funding, Kabuto Sumo, and[/Spoiler] a nummy guy named Jin, and you've got something entirely better than both you and yours. Take a look at the show's introduction: [Spoiler]blood, fire, explosions, attack squirrels, and a nude Jin.[/Spoiler] How is that anything but beyond even the most unreasonable of expectations? The characters are convincing in the fact that [Spoiler]yes! they actually do break the guy's fingers one by one until somebody shows up to fight for him and no! they don't fall in love with each other at first site and make a big deal about it, ruining the mood of the show.[/Spoiler] That VJ sure must have had fun doing that particular episode. As for episode two? What do we have? [Spoiler]Nothing but the good old big-loveable-ogre-who-gets-killed-anyway and yet another scene of Jin unclothed. Only this time, it's accompanied by the most modest of innuendo. Hee.^^ We get a nice scene that reminds me of one of the Kenshin movies, what with the trees being cut apart and the whole "I am required to assasinate you," bit.[/Spoiler] Our heroes then move on to [Spoiler]pretend to hit on each other in order to get away from their whiney charge, deal with irritatingly mis-informed [i]Gai-Jin[/i], play a life-or-death game of Japanese chess, become the subject of pornographic artwork, get shoved into a barrel, help free their object of affection from a Tea House, get stuck in a Tea House and blame it on one another, cross-dress, pawn off their glasses and swords, have eating contests, starve, get chased by tenku, read each other's diaries while they're in the bath, chase pickpockets, be mistaken for said pickpocket's girlfriend, and have fun with funny grass,[/Spoiler]in no particular order. Not to mention all those other fantabulous things that happen throughout twelve short episodes. I can't wait to see what's coming next: knowing Watanabe-sensei (that is his name, right? _ _U) we're in for a dose of serious. I'm dying to find out what's happened to the guys in the past (although we know a touch about Jin by this point), and what exactly is up with that squirrel. As you can probably tell from the banner and avatar, I've developed a certain liking for one of the characters. *nosebleed* (All this, of course, is not to mention that Jin x Mugen has become one of my favourite slashy couples. xP) Read Skip's last post xD: [Spoiler]I loved the "Stop trying to be my wife!" part. You read the parenthesis. xP As I have said to you before, I adored episode eleven. It contained that delicate mix of blood and cuteness that makes me blush.^.^ The Kabuto Sumo was a nice touch, too. I was practically weeping when Jin let them beat him up like that. I was going, "No!!! Jin-kun!!! Beat them up! Get up, you fool! Nooooo!!!!" T_T[/Spoiler][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New][QUOTE=DeathBug][color=indigo][font=comic sans ms]I don't think I could date an anime character, comic character, or any fictional drawing. Sure, it'd be cool for a while, but after I got some paper cuts in a few embarassing places, things would get weird. [/color][/font][/QUOTE] As soon as I noticed you'd commented, I knew you'd say something like that. xD These kinds of threads get kind of old after a while, but hey. I love Jin. Jin Jin Jin. Jin is cool and is better than you. Jin can use a sword. Jin has cool pants. Jin never complains. Jin is smart. Jin is the best. But Jin isn't better than Neji. Nope. No way. I love Jin and Neji, but Neji is better than Jin. Neji has purple eyes and is a ninja! Ninjas are awesome, therefore Neji is awesome. Neji has cool eyes that can see your tenketsu and he can poke your tenketsu, then you're all, "OMFG MY TENKETSU!!!! THEY ARE IN PAIN!!!!" Then, he takes a kunai and then Neji's like STAB, and you're like, "AUGH I'VE BEEN STABBED BY NEJI!!!!!" and he's like, "Hm." That's what he and Jin have in common: they both say "Hm." Alot. What can I say? They make me incoherent. u_u I think I got my point across, though. (You understand, Skippedry, old pal, don't you? You wont reprimand me, will you?)[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Wow. I haven't posted anything here for a while. o_o! Well, I just finished reading chapter 228 (about four hours ago xD), and I must say: I'm impressed. Finally, we get to see [Spoiler]some real gore. Seeing Sasuke stick his arm straight through Naruto's torso tossed something particularly special into that chapter, didn't it? We also got to see Kakashi again, for the first time in a while, so it's all good.[/Spoiler] Don't you just hate how the anime cuts all that [Spoiler]blood flying everywhere[/Spoiler]? I loved the special, myself. Seeing Tsunade [Spoiler]swing Orochimaru around by his tongue[/Spoiler] like that was almost like getting a shot of militant feminism. xD ( Wee! Go Tsunade-sama!) [Spoiler]I love the way she just keeps hitting him and hitting him, not waiting for him to get up again. It was very convincing.[/Spoiler] The animation was nice and fluid, although the characters looked kind of chubby for thirty seconds or so, three-quarters of the way through. Man, the next episode sucked though. : ( I hate filler. Also, seeing as I am downloading the Anime-Heaven version of Yukihime (bootlegged, I believe--must be), I look forward to updating this post with my opinion of it. Later... Oh my, this doesn't appear to be the movie. There's some crazed fat guy in an ugly shirt talking at me. Pooey.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]The '90s gave birth to many titles that I adore (Bebop, Ranma 1/2, Rorouni Kenshin, Gravitation [the manga, at least is from the 90's] etc...) but my favourites are (mostly) still running now, in the...2000's (we'll have to come up with a quick name for them, wont we?) or were released during them. I mean, ROD, Naruto, NaruTaru, Paranoia Agent, Samurai Champloo, (Scrapped Princess, too, I believe), Gunslinger Girl, FLCL, Shingetsutan Tsukihime... (Wasn't Excel Saga released in 2001? And don't they say the date somewhere in the show?_ _U Oh, and when did Cooking Master Boy come out? I'll say that just for the title. xD) Wolf's Rain looked quite good from what I saw of it, also. So, yeah, I'm in love with all the new stuff that nobody seems to have heard of--IRL, at least; I've been hanging around fellow otaku for a portion of the summer. (Just out of curiousity, is there anybody up here who watches PA for reasons other than I suggested it to them, or some one I suggested it to suggested it to them?^^"") The newest millenium is looking good so far, eh? [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Half of Atlantis was an incredible rip-off of Laputa, as far as I'm concearned. It irritated me without limits when I discovered this fact. I originally became interested in anime for the art style, as I felt I needed some kind of medium to focus on when it came to drawing (although I know now that anime and manga styles of art differ like crazy^^""). I've always found the character-designs' crazy hair do's and colours, clothes, and weapons attractive, come to think of it. The first anime I really got into was Sailor Moon (but then again, who doesn't love Sailor Moon?! : O ), and then I kind of forgot about the genre for a while, aside from the art styles. I'm probably as much of an uber-geek as I am because of my cousin, who kept lending me stuff. Pft. *goes off and downloads some more Champloo or whatever*[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]A butcher-cut version was released a while back. (Sorry if this has already been said; I just sort of [i]skimmed[/i]...you know?) I, for one, am a big fan of all things Miyazaki-related, including Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. (As a random point, I do believe I have a Great Aunt Nausicaa who I've never met. Or something. Heh.) I have volumes three and four of the newly released version of the manga (the un-flopped one, that is), and, of course, am boundlessly impressed by the artwork. (As my cousin says, "Every space is taken up--by a line. Crosshatching...the man's insane.) Actually, I recently got the OST off of said cousin. Porco Rosso and Nausicaa were scheduled to be released in 2005 or some hideously far-off date like that, by Disney. I hope there will be a better dubbing job done than with Spirited Away. (I think a new version of Totoro is being released, too. The Fox dub is pretty good, anyway, though.) Ever since I first read Nausicaa, I've had this obsession with Asbel's hat that I try to hide. You never know when I might start going on about it. Heh. O_o""[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Princess Goneral and Kunai dressing up as Dark and Blue Link using sleeping bags, Mashimaro pajamas, a coat, and an STFXU shirt. And the brooms as masterswords were pretty frigging awsome, too. Also, getting my foot flocked. That was a real piss-off for me.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]I have never felt so alone in the world as I do right now: I [i]have[/i] no family [i]or[/i] friends! Godel's ego says: Thanks for that. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]To assimilate is to absorb one thing (typically a culture) into another. It can also reffer to digestion. I'm not sure if some one has already pointed this out, but I thought I'd make it known... People are just going to keep multiplying and urban areas are just going to keep expanding until it becomes impossible to do so. However, it is projected that the Earth's population will slowly start to decrease after reaching eight billion (can't remembe the year now--I put it up before, though). I don't think that the Earth and its other species are going to go before, or even with, us. (I'm half convinced, without any backing whatsoever, that some kind of plague will wipe us pretty much out; just seems...entirely possible. Maybe I've been watching too many silly horror movies or something.) Sure, we'll wipe out a couple thousand more species, destroy a few more rainforests, cover half the planet in a Metropolis, but that wont bring the world to an end. It'll just inconvenience a few other critters in the process. As for the whole helping humans thing: I'm not one for purposely poisoning the lakes, but I like my A/C, and I like cars, and all that good stuff. Humans are animals, too; I like to think we got Mother Nature back for the cruel joke she played on us, making us all hairless and feeble-bodied. However, it's only common sense to recycle and whatnot. I mean, it's all for us in the end, anyway. (The environment-saving bit, from our perspective, that is.) The world's gonna be demolished to make room for a hyperspace bypass, anyway, so everything's purely hypothetical.[/FONT] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Trouble's afoot. Crime is in the air. More and more, our family and friends are being killed, raped, robbed, beaten up, and generally maltreated. No longer can one ride the subway at night without being mugged, nor can one go downtown after dark without being stabbed and thrown into a dumpster. Our airspace is plagued by terrorists, and our very state of being is constantly being loomed-over by the countless horrible people in the world. ...or not. In fact, the crime rate in Toronto is at the lowest it has been since 1967 (or was it '64?), has dropped by over 30% in fifteen years, and, really, your chances of being killed in Toronto are 1.9 in 100 000. And here's the big shocker: deaths caused by terrorism are also at their lowest, and declining. In fact, terrorism is becoming less and less relavent to police and governments. The 9/11 deaths plus all those caused by terrorist attacks that year, are lower than the number of deaths caused by terrorism in previous years. The scary part is, everybody seems to believe quite the opposite: basically the information I bullshitted at you to begin with. Not only have most Westerners fallen victim to the media's constant message of impending doom, but they declare those who try to point out its faults terrorists themselves! : O While violent crime has decreased substantially, the news preffers to cover it more and more. I do believe it [the coverage] has been multiplied by a non-prime positive integer. I ask you this: [i]Who has the milk and apples?[/i][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Indeed, there are many, many people who are addicted to pain-killers, sleeping-pills, and, I imagine, countless other legal drugs. I wont pretend to know anything about dieting pills, but the main difference between a legal upper and an illegal one would probably be that the side-effects of the illegal upper were extrordinarily worse than those of the legal one. That's why marijuana is illegal, even though it has the same physical effects as tobbaco; it does a serious take on your brain, which proves unpleasant in the long run. Also, modern Western society likes to drug up its citizens, especially children. If the body gets used to a certain drug at a young age (because of a slapped-on-without-thought ADD label), it won't be able to function without it for the rest of the person's life. It's significantly better for your body to simply cut excessive sugars and fats from your diet than to take any number of pills. Chibbi is very correct about the whole collapsing thing. xD (Even though I wouldn't have the willpwer...haha...) As an interesting little fact, most of the "illegal" drugs coming into America from Canada, are smuggled by old ladies who can't pay their medical bills... Heh. That's another tick on the "socialist bastards" side I guess.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New][QUOTE=DeathBug][color=indigo][size=1][font=comic sans ms]The less the government has to do with any civilian avenue, the better. If Canada has taught us anything, it's that socialized health care is a bad thing. Canadians pay ridiculously high taxes to obtain sub-par health care they must wait months for. Not that the American health care system is in any way perfect, but the ,more of it that's privitized, the better.[/color][/size][/font][/QUOTE] And all the meanwhile, there are people who have never been well off, who get sick by no fault of there own, to a point where they cannot work, and end up dying miserable, ill, and in midlife down south, because the government doesn't believe it has any responsibilities involving keeping its citizens alive. Even worse, the [i]citizens[/i] don't seem to [i]want[/i] the government to help keep them alive. Funny how that goes, neh? If you move or are born into a place where certain (though they may be high) taxes are standard, let's face it: you'll learn to live with it. Then, if you [i]do[/i] get breast cancer after a divorce, with three kids to look after, you don't have to sell them and your house for your surgery. My gym teacher had cancer in his neck that required surgery that would have cost him everything if he lived in the States. The only thing he ended up paying for (on top of taxes, that every one is used to) was the cable hook-up he rented. Having to pay for life-saving health-care services is a product of a philosophy that basically states, If you're not rich, you have no right to live. But hey, then again, I'm naive, aren't I? I mean, I've grown up in a place where gay marriage is legislated, and where our election campaigns are based on the availability of day-care, as opposed to Paul and Stephen's millitary history. (Deathbug: comma, comma, comma...^_~)[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]One phrase sums it up nicely, methinks: Ahh, crap. As of next... *thinks* All right, I will admit it openly: I have no idea as to when school starts; all I know is that it is going to suck. And suck. And suck some more. I've been through nine years of school already, and have only found four of them to be enjoyable (ahh, to be in kindergarten again...), so I have no hopes for the upcoming year. Starting highschool means that I'll have to start working, which I've never been particularly good at, though that's entirely my fault. It also means that I have to sit through exams, not to mention the EQAO, which is about as exciting as watching a washing machine that's neither turned on, or in the act of having a window to view potential laundry through. Poo. Summer has been unbelievably dull as well, however (I haven't even gotten more than a handful of chances to sleep in, which sucks infinately.), so it wont be much of a shift. *sigh*[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New][quote name='TOTALIMMORTAL] Anyways, if you do [U]plan[/U'] on having a child, then you should be so excited to be going through the miracle of birth that it really wouldn't matter whether it's a boy or girl right? [/quote] Unless, of course, you had to be the one who was [i]giving[/i] birth, that is... I agree with whoever said it (Semjaza, I do believe) that the gender distribution of our planet's population should not be screwed with. It just wouldn't be a good idea for there to be a 10:2 gender ratio, either way. It'd probably lead back to pollygamy(sp? de pon), which would make all the Suffragettes work for not. But that's not the issue at hand. As for the whole "it's unnatural" argument: I don't really think that to be a valid argument in any debate, so I don't know why I even mentioned it. (Probably because I'm internet starved at the moment, actually...) I don't think I would change the gender of my baby, if I ever had one. I would, however, get an abortion if I knew it was going to be severely retarded etc... because I doubt I'd be able to care for him/her properly. But, once again, I've gone off on a tangent. (Is it even a tangent? Whatever.)[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]I don't know how this thread got to the whole suicide = insanity bit, but it's three in the morning, and I figured "Why the hell not?" When you think about it, the above equasion is pretty much true. A person does not have to be in a state of complete, endless insanity. Temporary insanity (or in the case of the Japanese a few hundred years back, indoctrination) is the state in which people generally kill themselves (this can also apply to unintentionally doing so, I suppose...heh). If you're in a state of severe, sudden melancholly, frustration, or anger, you don't think clearly, don't act as though you are thinking clearly, and are basically insane. Personally, I think suicide is the most cowardly thing any one can do. It's a permanent escape from something you could probably have worked out in the end, and a disregard for your friends and family. With the case of [i]seppeku[/i], the situation is different. Some one being taught that their life is trivial and that they should do nothing but obey orders (even if they are directly or indirectly to kill one's self) isn't exactly natural, in my opinion (the impervious killing part, I mean). As for the loneliness thing...well, even if you don't interact much IRL, the 'net is still a method of communicating and "being with" people. No one should be alone forever--it makes you insane. o_O"[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Well, I'm a 1536 year old albino Elf Rogue who has plans to multi-class as a monk some time in the near future. : ) Fun, fun, fun. In a physical sense, I'm a student who lives in the (last time I checked, at least) most cosmopolitan city in the world. I spend all my money on DnD, manga, and anime, and I have a particular abhorance of hands-on I.Q. tests. They just suck infinately. u_u In other words, I'm a total loser who was four percent away from failing French, and who once got two 0%'s on tests, in a row. : ) Now, about becoming a monk...[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]It's silly, when one gets right down to it. I mean, think about it: the years you spend in school are probably the ones that require the least amount of effort or work. At least, they should be. Most kids don't have to worry at all about anything to do with taxes or washing their own underwear. Your parents are there for you to depend almost entirely upon, and your only real obligation is to learn in school. If you want to get a job, it most-likely isn't necessary for your survival. Basically, being a kid is a time to free-load and goof off, and shouldn't be wasted on intentional angst-attacks. I've seen people get themselves into knots over "boyfriends" and "girlfriends", and I usually just chuckle inwardly and continue to read comic books during math class. The fact that most school drama is imagined still remains. I prefer to have fun.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]Oh, honestly. You silly people! Psh. Living on an island empty of any human being but yourself would [i]obviously[/i] SUCK. (Heh. See how many places that phrase can be applied to?^^) Even if you're some one who prefers to be alone most of the time, you'd become unbearably lonely having no one to talk to (or insult/whine at--whatever, as Goneral would say, floats your broccoli) for all that time. Imagine there being nowhere to go and no one to ask for help anywhere. It simply isn't practical.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray][FONT=Courier New]In all honest, probably no one. Call me cold-hearted and a horrible person, but it's what I perceive to be the truth. Death is scary, permanent, and it's not like there's anywhere to go after it happens. As long as you're alive, whether it's bearing unbelievable shame, guilt, or anything else, as far as I'm concearned, it's better than the alternative.[/FONT][/COLOR]
