I know I'm too light hearted for my own good sometimes, but why worry? Worrying frantically about impending doom for the next 17 years will only make it seem like it already hit, because your life would be over. (Make sense?) [i]Moumentie[/i] and all that. Frankly, the way I see it, none of us knows when we are gonna go. I could walk out of my house right now and a skydiver could fall on me, killing me (extremely unlikely). I could get in a car wreck on the way to work and die (a little more likely :p). Some whacko who needs drug money could shoot me at work for my cash bank (still unlikely--he wouldn't get it open without my key). And on and on. Some people don't even get the luxury of thinking they get to avoid death today because death seems all too possible. Anyways, [i]carpe diem[/i] and all that. After my uncle died back in May, I've learned to stop letting people walk all over me, to come out of my shell and speak up more. If anything, people should not worry but change what they don't like about themselves, to say what they need to say, and so on. I'd be more concerned about making it through today and not messing up than preparing for imminent doom 17 years from now (oy, and I'll be [i]old[/i], too!).

Hee hee hee, I know. MAN, I bet I'm a Freudian case!

[i]Now[/i] you see why I wanted to prematurely stuff Shanmon and display him as a gruesome symbol to others, eh, Cera?

Sanity? What odd thing you speak of? Gave that up when I joining the Otaku :rotflmao:...KIDDING, AD! ;)

Would you believe I was 19 before I took Driver's Ed? I used to have nightmares about crashing into people, other cars, etc, killing myself in the process. :twitch: My Ed teacher was nice, though (poor Cera!)--except for when he'd scream, "SLOW DOWN, SPEEDRACER!" :twitch: On my test day, I parallel parked [i]perfectly[/i], but nearly failed when I pulled a California stop. :bawl: IMO, you can't see the other drivers the way the lousy stop signs are placed. In Ed, you MUST stop behind the sign...but then, like I said, how will you see the other drivers? Maybe it's just a Dallas problem--too much brush everywhere. Anyways, I now thoroughly enjoy driving and the freedom (well, responsibilities, too, oy) driving brings.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=royalblue]In the end, it's all about how you feel...I mean, whether you feel comfortable there or whether you feel like there is something else that better suits you.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Well, see, but that's my problem--I'm not really sure [i]how[/i] I feel about it. Like I said, right now it's frosty between us. I value him like a friend (don't you [i]hate[/i] it when your friends fight with you?), but with this instant, heavy is the reminder that he is the boss, and me a peon. At this point in time, I'm dreading to go to work, and even more so to crack any more jokes. And that is a problem, because one of the *ahem* rules is that we are supposed to have fun at work. And if I'm uncomfortable at work...well, then. Leaving for work soon, so I'll let you all know how it goes...again. Thank you all for listening and for your advice--I really appreciate it. Sheesh, never thought those in power could be so [i]sensitive[/i]! *smiles at Adam* Oh yeah....j/k!

*eyes Justin's comment* "Ginneh!" :therock::laugh: Like I don't hear [i]that[/i] all the time! Small update: Well, I worked with "Bob" again today. :twitch: Luckily, there was another manager as well today (who's comically angry at me for denying the honor of sharing in his secret stash of Twinkies :D (and for all you dirty minded people, STOP THINKING LIKE THAT!)), so I didn't talk to Bob much. I remember to say hi to him, and make a little more eye contact, so he wouldn't think I was ignoring him again. Still a little frigid between us. I'm going to look into the closer store, regardless. If it [i]does[/i] allow for my preferred schedule, then I would like to transfer to a place that is closer to home.

Aw, poor Rick. I can think of worse ways to waste my time. Or stall for it when I [i]should[/i] be working on theOtaku in my limited time, heh. *rocks back and forth, ignoring strange stares from family members* :twitch::twitch::twitch:

*rolls eyes* Some of you are taking this [i]way[/i] too seriously. Life's too short to nitpick about one person--or what he says. In all honesty, I get offended easily--and I wasn't here. Maybe a little bored by how loooooooooooong the posts were, and amused (especially at the guy part--my boss from my problem I'm discussing in another thread is like that), but not offended. God knows I've been told frequently on these Boards to butt out if I don't like something, not to sit around and complain about it. So, fondly remembering those peeps that told me that (you know who you are ;):D), I offer the exact same advice.

Name: Well, went with something I'd actually remember. Stuck my nickname and my middle name together. But God help you if you figure out what my real name is. *evil look* My avatar at the moment *checks* is a digignome from Digimon. Symbolic of the fact I help other peeps "create" their Digimon. Used to be Stitch, a little guy I identify with. :whoops: Sig? Heh, it changes much often. Right now, I'm reassuring myself money and power isn't everything with my banner; and I've been taking all those amusing little personality quizzes, so I popped a handful of my results down there. And for all you evil minions, remember: shooting is good; accuracy is better (but then where would all the, ahem, heroes be?).

I'll call him "Bob"--he's the General Manager at my place of work, and generally an all around nice guy. His vices? Well, he's 27, [i]really[/i] handsome--and he knows it. >_< He feels like he has to be everyone's friend. The problem? A joke gone bad. See, yesterday, I was in a good mood at the beginning of my shift. A lot more chatty than I usually am with everyone--workers and customers alike. Except for Bob. I was a little sore about a mandatory meeting Sunday taking place at a bad time for me, so I was upset a little with the managers. And I decided to playfully give him the cold shoulder...'cept I got a little too carried away. In a few minutes, he was PO'ed major time (I've only seem him honked off this bad one other time), and started asking me all these questions--what was my problem, why was I ignoring him, was this going to affect our working relationship (I thought that meant I was going to be fired)? Frankly, I was scared for my job, and mumbled something about being sore about the meeting. He told me I could have gotten out of it (which isn't true--they wouldn't have taken "oh, I got to go to church like usual" as a viable reason (not to say they have anything against church--they [i]don't[/i]), and told me something along the lines that I better shape up or ship out. I'm possibly contemplating transferring to another store that's closer to me. I'm just not sure if the new store will honor my preferred schedule like this store does. All I can say is that this little incident [i]has[/i] mutated my friendship with Bob. So what do you think I should do? Transfer? Grin and bear it? Realize that I brought it on myself and get over it?

Dang, yes, I remember that. And some other stuff. DANG, but those were the days. Who would I be? Cera, since we are almost exactly alike. Guy wise, Adam. Heh, nice guy--when I can get him to talk. (Yes, Addy, you are still...uh *sees everyone staring at her*...'scusy mesa.) Anyone else? Well, if the thought that I would never wish my life on anyone is any indication, then I am better off being me. I may screw up, but I'm still the best me.

Ooooooooooo. Dang, the eyes are intense! Me likey! And what's this about ratings? 8.439/10? Heck no! Let's try: 9.41052392347/10 or some such. Heh!

Heh heh, maybe Parallelmon was the inspiration for D-Reaper. And is Parallelmon working for Millenniummon? Hope not--those two are kinda matched, level wise.

Well now, hold on, you guys--I'm looking over Cera's Ten Commandments of Tamers V2 and I don't see anything that comes out and says No Fic Digimon. Let's face it--Gazimon doesn't have an "official" Champion. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with Coyotemon--[i]as long as he doesn't branch off into some brand new as of yet unseen digivolution process.[/i] We still need to play by Season 3's rules. The only complaints I would have would be if: (1) Everyone else starting to put ficDigis in. A fic Digi should be allowed. If I start seeing a new made up Digimon every post though, that [i]will[/i] bother me. Give poor Masterdramon a chance before you chase him away for good. (2) Coyotemon is Masterdramon's fic Digimon. Remember, the rules clearly indicate no self insertion. Even if us humans do not appear, it's considered (IMO) self insertion to put our ficDigis in. Remember, I'm to blame for Gazimon's unique talent (which is, in case you haven't figured it out, to digivolve into any Champion as needed. Whether he can go farther remains to be seen...*adopts mysterious look*). Also remember that Cera wanted us to have fun with this. So let's have fun (just so long as it doesn't get out of hand. ;)). Well, that's my 2 cents, but really, since this is all Cera's, the final word is hers.

Clutching the white digivice in one hand, Jeri wrapped both arms around Calumon and hugged him close to her. "Calu, JERI, calu, JERI, CALU, oh Jeri...are you happy now?" Jeri smiled so hard she was afraid her face might break. But she didn't care--she [i]was[/i] happy. "Oh Calumon..." she whispered, resting her forehead on his. He giggled and patted her cheeks with his paws. "Oh gag," Rika said, fighting to supress a grin. She lost the fight, and it broke over her face. "Glad you're happy, Jeri." "Thanks, Rika, that means a lot." "Yeah, now you can be a real Tamer again--" Rika nearly kicked herself in frustration. [i]Idiot![/i] she scolded. [i]Where do you think you get off reminding her of--[/i] Jeri gasped, and suddenly reached into her pocket. Her empty pocket. "Where is it?" she asked, sounding scared. "[i]Where is it?[/i]" "Jeri?" Calumon whimpered, his ears retreating back into his head. "My digivice...my REAL digivice...where is it?" Jeri cried out. "Right here," Calumon said, patting the white one. "No...NO!" Jeri yelled. "The one...the one for Leomon! It's right here in my pocket...maybe it fell to the floor...oh, help me find it!" She released Calumon and dropped to her knees, spreading her hands all over the floor. "What's the matter, my dear?" LadyDevimon asked as she walked back into the room from attending the still unconscious Mako. "My digivice...the one for Leomon...it's...GONE!" Jeri was on the verge of tears. "Is it this white one?" "No, it's not," Rika muttered, half impatient, half ashamed for starting the whole mess. "Tamer Jeri, listen to me for a moment," LadyDevimon said, taking Jeri's face in her hands. "You have had a Digimon Partner before, yes?" Jeri sniffled and nodded the afirmative. "What happened to him?" "Beelzemon killed him." "MAKO!" The little boy was standing in the doorway, his hair messy, his eyes shining brightly. "Well, that's what happened..." "Mako," Renamon asked, scared, "how do you know that?" "You learn a lot when you are biomerged," the boy muttered. Then he shuddered. "I...I was biomerged with a murderer..." "Mako..." "He killed Leomon..." With a strangled cry, Mako ran from the room. Jeri's eyes trembled, and she clutched her white digivice. "Jeri, calu..." "I always wondered if they knew..." Renamon murmured. "But Jeri...I'm your Partner now." "No, you can't be!" "Why not...don't you want me to be?" "What if...what if you die too?" Calumon giggled softly. "That won't happen. It can't." "Calumon's right," Rika said. "We all have been through things that should've put us out of our misery. But we've made it through before." "Except Leomon..." Rika sighed in almost exhasperation and flung herself back in her chair. "Jeri," LadyDevimon said, "let me put it to you this way. The Digital World still wants you to fight for it. For its inhabitants. By selecting Calumon for you, it has released you from the sorrow with being Leomon's Tamer. You always will be Leomon's...but now it is time for you to be Calumon's. By the way..." she commented, turning the white digivice over, "do all digivices come with flower stickers on them?" "What?" Jeri stared at the spot LadyDevimon pointed to, and her jaw dropped. "T-that's the sticker I put on my yellow digivice. But how...?" "Because the yellow digivice IS the white one. As I told you, you will always be regarded as Leomon's Tamer. But now, the digivice has changed to reflect the Digimon you need to help tame now." "Jeri..." "Yes, Calumon?" "Can I be your Partner now?" Jeri smiled again, crying all over again. "Gag..." Rika swore under her breath. "Of course, Calumon!" She hugged the In Training Digimon to her again. "Of course."

Devidra: What's OT? Well, it's embarassing, but I had gone into a rage Monday night and slapped a wall hard. Instant bruisification. As far as Kokatorimon's attack, I [i]have[/i] seen it spelt as Petra Fire, other than on CC. (Besides, IMO, it looks cooler than Petrifier.) I guess we could always change it to Frozen Fire Shot if it's [i]really[/i] gonna bug you. ;) I'll email you some more stuff I need for the Crash--at the moment, I'm working to get all the new ones up 'fore I continue fixing the old stuff. Cera: Data streams are large, colorful (mostly pink, green, white) "sunrays" that extend from the real world hovering about the Digital World. Anytime one of us computer types searches for something (unsure if that was meant in an open file way or an internet way), the data stream shoots down to search for that "object"--and anyone unlucky enough to get caught in them get instantly transported elsewhere. I always thought that meant they'd end up in the real world, but apparently, the data streams throw you to another part of the Digital World (and I guess they move you up a plane, too). As for going underwater...dunno. Why not?

Devidramon: There's several ways to spell it, and that was the one that popped into my mind at the time. Right now, though, my brain is [i]mush[/i] from updating the Digidex. *grumbles* And the computer [i]would[/i] crash just before I uploaded it all, including the Hybrids. >_

(I thought Panjyamon was left back at Indramon's pyre? Where'd he come from? Ah well, coolies anyway! Also, [hint]just 'cause Gazimon turns into Kokatorimon in this post doesn't mean that he always does![/hint]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Devidramon and Tally sped for sometime, until she lost all sense of direction, of time. Tally's honey colored hair whipped about her face and she had long since tried to pull it out of her eyes. "Where are we going?" she hollered, her voice torn from her throat and scattered behind her by the wind. Devidramon moved his head a little to acknowledge her speaking, but did nothing else. Behind them, a white trail, already fading, streaked through the sky. "Those idiots'll be able to find us, don't you think?" Devidramon grunted, then tilted to one side; the pair glided to the ground. "Why did we stop here?" Once again, Devidramon did not reply, but simply remained motionless. His sides heaved slightly, and Tally instantly recognized the signs of fatigue. "You poor thing..." Devidramon's ears suddenly shot up and he pulled Tally to him. He then bowed his head, turning them both to stone. Overhead, Megadramon and Gigadramon scouted, missing the stone statue that blended perfectly with the ground. "Light beam coming," Gigadramon grunted. "Head back," Megadramon agreed. The two Ultimates turned to return their findings, however bleak, to Machinedramon. "Master Machinedramon will not be happy," Megadramon pointed out. Gigadramon snorted. It was his way of answering something he could not. Behind them, the data stream streaked along the ground, racing along as if searching for something. As soon as it was within 100 yards of the stone Devidramon, it almost bucked and instantly surged to him, sucking him up. "And now," FlaWizardmon/ArcDaemon screamed, "prepare to--" He was cut short as the stone statue of Devidramon and Tally plummetted from the sky and smacked him on the head, then rolled off. Everyone gasped. "Amazing," Riley gaped, "Not a scratch on it...and it looks so [i]lifelike[/i]...look at the human in its grasp...almost looks like..." "TALLY!" Yamaki yelled. "Oh dear," Antylamon groaned. "He shouldn't have done that..." "Why not, Antennamon?" Suzie asked. "He..." The Rabbit deva blinked down at her young partner. How was she going to explain this? "Let's just say he can't play right now. Maybe...maybe never again." "Never?" Suzie blinked, looking scared. "Oh don't be so dramatic, girl!" Kumbhiramon scoffed. He pointed a metal leg at the statue. It glimmered for a moment, then returned to its natural state. FlaWizardmon was recovered enough to attack now, and took the situation in at an instant. "Oh, is this ever going to be sweet," he grinned evilly. "Devidramon!" Mihiramon growled. "Tally!" Riley gasped. "Antennamon!" Suzie cried out. "Somebody do [i]something![/i]" Yamaki hollored. "Oh, for the love of...ARGH!" Gazimon was already streaking toward FlaWizardmon. "Lame heroics never won wars, kid!" Yamaki screamed at the Rookie. "Don't worry boss, I can handle--AUGH!" Gazimon was instantly smacked into the stone statue. "I can't believe this..." Yamaki groaned. He held up his digivice. "Any time now!" Gazimon still looked groggy. He grinned lopsidely and sagged against the statue. "Three for the price of one, I love it!" FlaWizardmon chortled. He raised one hand... ...Riley flung something at Yamaki... ...he grasped it, thrust it through the digivice... "Digimodify! Digivolution activate!" "Gazimon, digivolve to...Kokatorimon!" "What the hey? That never happened before..." Kokatorimon glared at FlaWizardmon. "PetraFIRE!" The Ultimate was instantly frozen. "And if it works on him," the rooster cackled. He turned to Devidramon's statue. "Petra FIRE!" "What are you doing you IDIOT!?" Yamaki cursed loudly. The statue turned even more stony, if it was possible, and Kokatorimon turned back into Gazimon. "Just watch, boss--I got everything under control." The moment Gazimon turned back into himself, the stone edge began to wear off...freeing Devidramon and Tally. ...and also FlaWizardmon. "Under control, huh?" Yamaki glared at Gazimon. "Uh...oops?"

Wait a minute--who else has a Digimon named Draqaamon? Draqaamon is Azalamon's Champ (originally named Draquamon, but changed for obvious reasons).
