[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=Teal]Alright, glad I could be back, I've been sick :animedepr . So, anyways, to clear some things up since I've been gone... Sorry about any confusion with the title, I don't think I'm turning Japanese, I just thought it was a good thread title. Another thing, I'm not obsessed with turning Japanese. I speak, write, and read the language. I enjoy things that are japanese. I have three siblings who are half Japanese. My dad was stationed in Okinawa, Japan while he was in the Marines and speaks very fluent Japanese. I was learning it before I even wanted to because my dad would just speak it randomly. Trust me, I have many more reasons for learning. I was just curious if anyone else spoke the language because I was hoping to find someone to speak japanese with via e-mail, and find out other people's reasons for learning. I speak some french too, but I'm not going around speaking with an accent like I [I]am[/I] french or something... :animesigh I just want to learn the languages of places I'm planning to travel.

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]The weirdest thing I've ever eaten in my life was rattlesnake. I was only five and living in Oklahoma :animedepr . I wouldn't really call it weird, just out of the ordinary. Something that I can honestly say tastes just like chicken. P.S. eel sushi rocks... [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=Plum]Did anyone know that Dolphins are the only other mammals besides humans that have sexual intercourse for pleasure, not only for reproduction. Also, if you ever find a scorpion, throw a rock at their back. They'll sting themselves and die.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=Teal]I am exactly like Rinoa from FFVIII. We're both very strong-minded and slightly loud. We tend to whine when we don't get our way. And hey, I wouldn't mind hooking up with Squall either... No really though, we do have the same personality. And we look almost exactly the same. Same hair length, hair color, (not on purpose, it was like that before I ever played). I just don't have big brown eyes like she does. I'm also probably much less mentally stable than she is...[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo] [B]Hiei:[/B] Put me down! I swear it wasn't me! [B]Yusuke:[/B] Next time you lift someone's skirt, maybe you should be positive it's a girl. [B]Kuruma: [/B] I think he liked you... [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOrchid]I'm not actually turning Japanese, but that is beside the point. What I really want to know is if there is anyone here who can speak japanese? I can speak a small amount and I was wondering who else can. I can ask where the cat is... Neko wa doko desu ka? ...alright then.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=SeaGreen]My absolute and completely favorite car - at the moment - is a 2005 Audi TT. Twin turbos are super hot. I want one so bad! Anyone have $45,000 they could loan me? I also really like Volkswagon Jetta, 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo, and way more than I care to remember at the time.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=RoyalBlue]Does anyone know about anything in the Coloradoan area? I live in a really small town about three hours from Denver and I was hoping there would be something close. I've never been to a con, but I really would like to go to one if I can.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=RoyalBlue]I have a couple of very favorite colors and they're not really in any specific order whatsoever. [COLOR=Pink]Pink used to be my only well-liked color, my hair used to be dyed completely neon pink and dyed pink and black on several occasions[/COLOR]. [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]I now reallly favor the colors blue, especially teals and light blues[/COLOR], [COLOR=Sienna]brown, the dark chocolate kind of color[/COLOR], [COLOR=SeaGreen]and green, in a sea green/other green-like colors[/COLOR]. Those colors rock... and black is and always will be a national past time.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=RoyalBlue] Byakuya: MY EYE! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY EYE![/COLOR] [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue] Ichigo: Dude, I told you that would make you go blind...[/COLOR] [COLOR=SeaGreen] Um...I don't know if I have the hang of this yet... :catgirl: [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

Ever since I was little kid, I have had this same dream/nightmare every once in a while (especially when I'm going through a tough time). I am at my old elementary school, Templeton, just hanging out with my older brother and older sister. When I actually look around, there are all these creepy green-tinged skin guys with blood-reed eyes, and they're wearing purple suits. Weird, I know. So, me and my siblings take off running for our house, but we have one guy follow us. We all hide in this open garage that's close to us, but I can't get a hiding spot fast enough. The next thing I know, the dude is looking straight at me and then I wake up. I think I was supposed to die or something... it's strange though. Still scares me.

They told me the steroids would give me b-acne... but this is just ridiculous.

Now, we all know that voice actors commonly do voices in many types of anime and different series. What I'm wondering is if the guy who voiced Spike on Cowboy Bebop is the same person that voices Kazuma on Scryed. I'm pretty sure it is, but I'm curious to know if anyone knows for sure?

Doesn't anyone have a problem with Tonberries? I don't what all Final Fantasy games they've been in, but I'm pretty sure it's been most. I don't know though, even though their not too hard to beat, they are really annoying. What's the point of killing something that gives me no exp. and no AP. It's ridiculous. At least in FF8 they can get you a Guardian Force... that's about it though...
