thank you, I'm very flattered. I'm slowlyg working on another one. But my computer is rather slow and stupid, so it's takin me a while. I am really proud how it turned out, I think it goes good to the music and what not. I thought that I picked a pretty good song for it. My next one is going to be to Metric- Monster Hospital, and it's all featuring Lacus Clyne.

I love Saosin, but I also love AFI. My fave saosin song is Seven Years. I love it! The acoustic version is sooo beautiful too. If they had more songs like that, then I would agree that they are as good as AFI, but AFI has been in the game for years and years. You can't pwn a veteran.

Eep, I don't know. I've been told I have a nice body... but I don't really see it as anything special. I think it's just because I'm petite and skinny that they say that. Other than that haha I guess it would have to be my bum. I'm not really complimented on much else haha. Personally though, I think my best feature is my smile.

Honestly when I think of this, I think of what the comedians say... "The Native Americans had a word for illegal immigration... it's called 'white people'"- Jay Leno I'm not going to quote it per batem, but I think it was John Stewart that said that George Bush isn't exactly one to talk when it comes to entering another country illegally :therock: :bellylol:

[quote name='NekoSama101']well i have agoraphobia to an extent. It really gets to me every other month or so. I wouldn't say that I can't be in public places. i'm perfectly socialbe. it's just that every now and then there's too many people around and i start hyper ventallating (sp?) and i feel very faint. I don't let it get in the way of my socail life though and i've made a good start on recovery by just dealing with the fact that lots of people are around when ever i have an "attack" i guess you could call it.[/quote] It's probably not agoraphobia hun...agoraphobia is very severe. maybe a bit of social anxiety.. it sounds like you have mild panic attacks. They can be very dehibilitating. But I'm not an expert... if they start to really effect you, see a doctor. There are coping strategies available to help with any panic attacks.

If you cant function in society and it's really effecting your life, then you should seek the help of a professional, because it could be a disorder. I'd go on in more detail but I just posted a huge thing in a similar thread. [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=52790]http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=52790[/URL]

I'm taking Abnormal Psych classes, so we have pretty much gone over most of these disorders. Now, keep in mind that I'm not an expert... but here's my two cents. The reasons why all of these illnesses are severe is because you don't really have control over your state of mind. These are disorders because they cause the individual to be unable to function in normal society. Depending on the severity of the disorder, it can make it very hard for them to be with people and have stable relationships. Take agoraphobia for example. Now for those of you who are not familiar with this disorder, agoraphobia is an excessive fear of public places. The fear is believed to stem from the fact that in public places it is difficult to escape if you suffer from panic attacks or panic attack-like symptoms. I can't imagine having a severe form of this disorder. But personally people who suffer from this are more of a threat to themselves rather than the people around them. I guess the same could be said for alcoholism. Unless its in the sence of drinking and driving or in the instance of alcoholism and phsyical abuse, these people are more of a danger to themselves, long term effects being loss of employment and/or friendships as well as cirrhosis of the liver and Korsakoff's syndrom (amnesia, memory/concentration difficulties, motor impairments). Assuming that social anxiety is different from social phobia, which is the fear of social situations that the individual might be exposed to scrutiny by others (ie. public speaking) I would think that social anxiety is a little less severe. Although anxiety is similar in the sence that its is an emotional reaction to possible threats in social situations, the anxiety is more associated with anticipated future problems. Psychopathy (related to antisocial personality disorder) I think would be more threatening to both the individual and the people around them. The reason is because people who have psychopathy usually have a disregard for the truth, lack of empathy, and an inability to learn from experience. A psychopath is a person who is "intelligent and superficially charming but is also chronically deceitful [and] unreliable" This comes from psychiatrist Hervey Cleckly. However this definition is diffult to use reliably. ASPD and Psychopathy are similar in the sence that they are both characterized by social deviance and behavioral problems. Psychopaths can be callous, decietful, egocentric, fail to form emotional bonds, prone to low anxiety, lack remorse and externalize blame. The DSM-IV criteria for ASPD is all of the above characteristics, the individual is at least 18 years old, and evidence of conduct disorder with onset before age 15. These people are more likely to become criminals. Psychosis is defined as referring to several types of severe mental disorder in which the person is out of contact with reality. Hallucinations and delusions are common symptoms. Schizophrenia is a form of psychosis. These people cannot function properly. Which segues into Schizophrenia, which is actually what we're covering tomorrow. Yep, this disorder has it's own chapter. Now I've allready written enough, so I think I'll just skip Multiple Personality disorder for now and just quickly cover this. Schizophrenia is defined as a type of (or group of) psychotic disorders characterized by positive and negative symptoms and associated with a deterioration in role functioning. Postive symptoms include hallucinations caused by external stimuli (can be either frightening or comforting), and delusional beliefs based on incorrect inferences about reality. Among severely disturbed patients these delusions can be very fragmented. Negative symptoms include affective and emotional disturbances (ex. failure to show signs of emotion, inablity to experience pleasure, lack of volition or will, thought blocking, and apathy). Another symptom category is disorganization, which involves disorganized speech and bizarre behavior. I think that these people are more of a threat to themselves, but it depends on the severity of the disorder. It's indeed a very complicated disorder. But like I said, I'm not an expert, I'll pulled most of this from the text and what I learned in class. I hope I contributed with all of this haha.

[quote name='Keyblade Wielder][COLOR=Black][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Wait one second... isn't Chaos supposed to post up the next picture? I mean, he did win First when I judged... and then isn't it supposed to go in order of who won??? I mean really... it wouldn't be fair to the person who won that he/she can't post up the next picture because random people do. If anyone agrees with me, then please say so. If not... I'll just post up a caption.. but I think it's kind of not fair... seriously. o.o;[/FONT][/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote] Oh I absolutely agree, but the funny thing is, only two days after I won someone else posted the next picture without letting me do it... oh and I think it was you Keyblade. It's the exact same scenario there buddy. But I'll delete it, since it's true that it's not fair to the winners. Next pic please. -

yesterday i put domino's cinna stix in the microwave, as well as the little icing cup for TWO MINUTES (yea i'm an idiot). when i took it out the little cup was melting and the icing was scalding hot. so i ended up spilling some on my hand, thank god it wasn't alot, but i burn the palm side of my middle finger and now i have a 2nd degree burn and a huge disgusting blister. :animecry: -
I enjoy the way your av and sig match. I also like the graphics with Naruto and the little quote. The text is allright, I'm sure it has some personal meaning to it. The graphics win my heart

yea, the fuzzyness can't be helped. it turned out that way when I uploaded it, but when I watch it on my computer it has more of a "old film" effect. I was kind of sad about when I uploaded it. :animedepr I was being such a perfectionist about it. Thank you :)

I just spent a good long time laboring over this music video. It's to "Blindfolds Aside" by Protest the Hero, and I would love to get some feedback on it. Unfortunately, while I uploaded it onto Youtube, it lost some of the quality, so a couple parts are going to be more fuzzy than anticipated. [B]CAUTION! SPOILER ALERT![/B] As I put in the description, there are spoilers upon spoilers in this video, so if you've allready seen the fansubs you should be good. If not, then I'd ignore this thread, so as not to ruin it for you. I hope you all enjoy it, this is my first time ever making a music video or anything creative like that... so bare with me

[QUOTE=Queen Asuka][size=1][color=hotpink]LOL, reading the first post and trying to imagine it in the context of a weapon is absolutely hilarious. (Should I dye it?!) My husband currently is sporting a mohawk. And I don't really like it because it's just not very becoming of him. But the longer, the better.[/size][/color][/QUOTE] Especially when they aren't done either. I hated it when my boyf wore his down... it just looked weird. But it's true, the longer the better. And having it colored as well is pretty rad. I still prefer my boyf's shaved head over the mohawk.

Aww, sorry haha.... well if you get this one right then you can try again! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Skababe18/nicetrybuddy.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Dooxy]Hey people waattsaappp! Ok me and my friend are planning to get our mohawk on! Any suggestions ? Ive already tried to make my hair stand on end right now but i cant do it, so if I get a hawk what should I use ? and should I dye it ? =o xD. My friend said shes gonna do hers 3 inches, o well shes gonna look like a tard then.. But Im gonna keep mine what it is now, about 6 1/2 inches :D Anyone ever had a hawk ? got any cool pictures? and tips? hellp meeehhhhh!!!!11!1 plz :)[/QUOTE] My boyfriend used to have a 'hawk. But he's 24, so back when he did the whole mohawk thing it wasn't actually trendy. Compared to the kids walking around thinking they're punk he's a dinosaur hahaha. He did look pretty hot when he had his mohawk, but eventually he got lazy in doing it all the time and just shaved it off. He looked much better afterwards anyways. I say get a mohawk and then go to Hot Topic and spend $200 on the most punkest outfits you can find. You be the punkest punker known to punk kind!!!1111!!1111!!one one one. Heh.

:animecry: I actually won??? Aww and I didn't even get to post a picture. But yay! I never win anything! I hope next time I'll be able to put a thing up. "Knock knock. Who's there? Banana. Banana who? Knock knock. Who's there? Banana. Banana who? Knock knock. WHOS THERE Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad I didn't say banana?" -
I would like to say that I abbhor it, despite the fact that probably half of what I own (if not more) was produced by child labour. It's sad, we pay how much for things that the workers who made it get paid pennies for. It's a violation to human rights. Sadly, many apparel manufacturers contract out their production to take advantage of cheap labour and overhead costs. It's disgusting, immoral, but since it doesn't happen to us, people seem to turn a blind eye. :animesigh How depressing.
