[color=#9933ff]Glad to see you're feeling a bit better. Again, ya know, just talk to me on AIM or e-mail or somethin. I'm always there. :)[/color]

[color=#9933ff]I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day Kev. :( Someone once told me:"You can choose what kind of day you're going to have. Either you wake up in the morning and your going to have a great day, or you can wake up and have a bad day. It's your choice on how you percieve the world." And that's exactly right. You just gotta keep movin' on. If you need anyone to talk to, to anyone to vent to, I'm here for ya. just send me a PM, an IM, or even an e-mail. :)[/color]

[color=#9933ff]Thanks definately go out to Adam and James for creating these boards in the first place. James, too for listening to my really tough problems, putting up with my insane stuff. So the Admins along with all the moderators have my thanks for keeping this place as great as it is. It's not an easy thing to do. I appreciate you guys keeping the forums straight, puting up with whiny people, putting up with annoying people(like me!), putting up in insane people(like me!), being nice to all the other OB members, all while trying to stay sane. Special thanks to: Sephiroth- You're a really great guy, and a superb Super Mod Kevin(Rick Hunter)- You're a great guy, you've got some excellent computer skills, probably the most knowledge of Anime of anyone I know, along with a kick-*** Anime collection. And you REALLY are a great guy Kev. You're so nice to me, and everyone else. I think you and ZeroG214 are the only guys on my b/l who aren't idiots. Lol. Charles- You're so funny. Mnemolth- I really respect you a lot, and what you have to say, because it's always something intelligent, thought provoking, and worth replying to. Devidramon- Heh. I gotta love your rants. Can wait for Novemeber so I can hear more of them. :) And finally, Lumi- Most of you probably haven't a clue who she is, but she's my friend in real life, and she's always there for me. You always make me laugh, Lumi. :) Other shout-outs go to Cera, Shyguy, Digital_Monster, and MathGuy2, just because.[/color]

[color=#9933ff]Good luck. I hope she'll say yes. Even if she doesn't (let hope she does, though), at least you know you'll tried. Unlike me. I'm such a fool...[/color]

[color=#9933ff]Yeah, you could to that too, I guess. ^_^;;; It would drive everyone insane, but you could do it. heh.[/color]

[color=indigo]I never have anything to spoil, but I know a lot of other people have spoilers. A spoiler would be a great feature. Also, I like the idea of a custom title, maybe when you get to No Life, or Extreme Otaku? Speaking of ranks, I think there's ten in all, and you need to have 9,000 posts to reach the last one. James wouldn't tell me what it was, though.[/color]

[color=indigo]OHHH! THAT'S why everyone has custom avatars. :bluesweat I'm an idiot. I thought we were still going by the 500 post thing and there was a glitch. I told ya I'm an idiot. :bluesweat Now, if only the stupid thing would let me UPLOAD AVATARS! *someone in crowd screams: "IDIOT!"* :bluesweat[/color]

[color=indigo]Angelus, is that some sort of joke, suggesting OUR Kevin, OUR Kevii, OUR KVKVWNSKII 98.3(that one's an inside joke), AKA OUR RICK HUNTER IS A BARBIE DOLL??? If you were, I'd start running, right about... NOW. ^_~ Anyways, I loved all my toys. I had a lot of barbies when I was little. Mainly Disney ones. Around once a year, I'm always looking SOMETHING in the back of the closet, and then I find my barbie dolls, and then I go through every one of them and look at them all, and all the clothes I used to put on them. It's so funny to remember this stuff. The one toy that TOTALLY stunk, were those POGS. Anyone remember those? I don't even remember what you did with them... I do remember, the only one I ever had was a Black Mighy Morphin' Power Ranger one. The Black one, I think, was Zack. I Think it's still somehwere in my house. o_O Oh, I remember, for my birthday one year, I htink ym sixth birthday, I got these pink power ranger gloves that talked and stuff. I think my mom sold them at our garage sale. The Pink Power Ranger(Mighty Morphin') I remember, was Kimberly. I have a couple VHS MMPR Tapes. o_O God only knows how I remember such things... And that I'm now WAY off topic.[/color]

[color=indigo]The minimum number of cards is forty, but I do believe the official Deck size is sixty card. But this is about helping Aries with his deck. If you want to Pm me about it, you're more than welcome. :)[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mnemolth [/i] [B]Disclaimer: I vouch FOR NOTHING in the following opinion. Read at your own risk. :D The Japanese economy today is a mess. Its been in recession for more than a decade. The stock market is now worth half as much as it was 10 years ago. Its still struggling to come to terms with the excesses of the 1980s when Japan almost looked like it would overcome the US economy. The problem with the Japanese economy is many, the most pressing problem now is money. The banks have huge amounts of bad debts on their books they have yet to offload. The thing is Japan has a complicated and interelated industrial structure that makes change difficult. The banks are cosy with business which is cosy with the government, and it goes down to small medium size companies. It is a structure that worked well after WW2, it allowed long term planning, but it is now a structure in need of a revolution. And no one in Japan seems to know what to do. The Japanese political system is so full of patronage, there really aren't many leaders who could shake themselves from the influence of certain interests. A crunch is coming, and since Japan, even in its sick state, remains the biggest investor in South East Asia (its bigger than all the other economies in the area combined!), the reckoning that will come when Japan goes under will be devastating. Oh, and Japan is one of the few countries in the world with an actual communist party that's not a complete joke (I think they consistently poll around 10%). But enough with the politics and economics. :rolleyes: [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]True. I'm not quite sure, but maybe some of this has to do, still, with the poor economy, and basically the Asian "crash" in '97-98, that, I know, at least, affected South Eastern Asia and China. I'm not sure if it affected Japan, but I think so. My dad lost his job then, partially 'cuz of the "crash" and because of his age. You see, in the Thai government, there is no insurance, or anything for when you get older and your retired. In the Thai culture, when a parent grows old, the children must care for the parent. Now, I'm not saying that they live with their parents, but every month, when a pay check comes, they send some of that money to their parents. So, naturally, usually, when people get old, like around 50, they get fired from their job, or retire or whatever. The Thai language is a very tonal one. They have words in which you hold it longer, and others where you make the words shorter. There is a normal, middle, voice, a lower voice, and a higher voice. There is also a falling tone and a rising tone. I have an entire book(it's got 242 pages in it and it's 8.25 in. wide, 11.75 in. in height, and 1.2 in. thick) on the Thai language, but I'll save you to boring stuff. ;) The first thing you hear in Thailand may be, "pai nai?"( pai is said with the middle tone, and short. Nai is rising short) which, literally means "go-where?" or, gramatically correct, Where are you going? Most Thai people have a one-sylable nick name. My Stepmom's, for instance, is Ouan(rising short), which means, "fat". Oddly enough, she's not fat in the slightest. More underweight than anything. She's also a professional make-up artist. I dunno about the rest of Asia, but I know that Japan and Thailand, many, many girls want to be professional make-up artists. My sister has a friend, who's from Japan, and she just graduated from college last year, so she's back in Japan, probably working as a make-up artist(since that's what she studied. Though, how would going to Vassar help you with that? Don't answer that). The eight most commonly used words in Thai are dee(mid long), sa(mid short)-nook(low short)(the full word is sa-nook), a(mid short)-roi(low long)(a-roi is the full word), suay(rising long), phaeng(mid long), ao(mid short), mee(mid long), and chawp(falling long). Respectively, those words mean: good, fun, delicious, beautiful, expensive, to want, to have, to like. Make your own judgments by this. ^_~ Well, that's enough ranting for today. Gosh, now I sound like Siebold. AH!!!!!!![/color]

[color=indigo]I'd keep most of your sacraficing monsters above 150 pts; atk or def. A good defence is as important as a good offense. And any cards that have good effects, no matter what their atk and def, put those in. I'd lso keep my ratio of M/t cards and monster cards 1:1, like the rule book suggests. Also, and official deck size is 60 cards. My deck has 60 cards. You really don't need a theme, but if you want one, go ahead. ^_~[/color]

[color=indigo]*looks around user CP* Nope. There's nothing there. Unless James or someone got the fature on in the very short amount of time it took to type this. I think James and everyone at the technical staff is busy. James launched OB early, and not everything is out yet. I'm sure the feature will be put up soon. :) *sits patiently and waits for feature. And if James decides not to have it, he will be looking at a VERY angry Roxanne, her WoPP and a VERY large bottle of purple nail polish.*[/color]

[color=indigo]I also think the reason most members are either American, English, or Australian, is that this board is an ENGLISH SPEAKING board. Yes, some members like Sage are very good at English and are from a non-English speaking country, but on these boards, that's a REALLY small percentage.[/color]

[color=indigo]erm... I believe one of those answers was world war one/hitler. Or something like that. After Germany lost WWI, they were forced to sign a treaty, and basically lost everything. Then, wacky 'ol Hitler comes along, uses the Jews as a scapegoat, brainwashes people, and tries to take over the world-- unsucessfully. Unless you're talking about actual events and certain dates. Pearl Harbor would definately be one of those. Jeeze. How come I loose all my knowledge about World History from last year??? *grumbles*[/color]

[color=indigo]I think your art teacehr want you to draw something otehr than Digimon or Anime, because, well, frankly, Anime faces are the easiest to draw, and the eyes aren't hard to do. If you try and do real eyes, that's more of a challenge. I'd first start out with copying things (hey, ya gotta start SOMEWHERE). i know Bobbi Brown's Teenage Beauty book has lots of pictures of eyes because they have to get in close to get the eye shadow. I doubt you have the book, though. Anyways, after you get good, start drawing regular eyes in different expressions like surprised sad, evil, etc. And, you also asked for a challenge from me. You might regret giving the challenge *smirks*. This can't look anime, so.. ya. Here's your challenege: Draw a Japanese woman in a kimono with a pompadour(sp?) hairstyle. A Pompadour, well it's this hair sytle where you pile the hair high on your head. So, You draw that, the kimono, and then I said JAPANESE, because I'd like to see how you draw Asian eyes(give you some practice in the eye department).[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SS Vegeta [/i] [B]I had a very very short dream about OB, but that is it. I think it was Shyguy and Queen Asuka kissing, or something like that. o.O I don't know what Shyguy looks like but it just seemed to me like it was him. ;) But yea, those are some strange dreams roxie. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]*whacks self on head* DUH ROXIE!!! Until last night, I did't understand that dream, but now do! SS Vegeta, I think you're clairvoyant if you can pick up on something like that. Unless you already knew and that was your subconcious bringing that out... Oo! Or maybe it was a premonition of last night! Or maybe I'm insane... Okay, I'm obviously going in circles and not making sense. Better shut up.[/color]

[color=indigo]I've never thought about suicide(not after what my sister tried), but I have thought about running away several times. Whenever I cry, my mom always tells me to shut the hell up and stop crying, which makes me cry even more, and then I want to run away. She gets me so upset. Anyways, this is about suicide, not running away. I really don't have anything to say about suicide, except maybe "don't try it" which has been said by almost everyone here.[/color]

[color=indigo]I'd rip those tiny electric toothbrushes out of their hands, and then threaten them(the gnomes) with their own toothbrushes![/color]

[color=indigo]I arrived toward the end of V4(Oh geeze. almost put: "v2". -.-) I remember being DEATHLY afraid of the moderators, or saying anythig wrong(the board I had been to before, had all these flames fights that I some how got into). The first PM, I got, was from Altron Gundam,and I remember being REALLY nervous, thinking I has done something wrong. lol. I've really come a long way from there. I'm no longer afraid of Moderators or Administrators! Yay! HIP HIP HOORY! ^^;[/color]

[color=indigo]Okay, I had this REALLY freaky dream involving Son Goten, and he wanted me to post it here. So, anyways, this is what happened: So I was at Luminaire's house(she's a newbie, I dunno if you know her), but her house didn't look like her house in the dream, (she just lived there) and it's a children's museum. Lumi's housekeeper was cleaning and her mom was occasionally yelling. This semi-popular girl from school, Danielle, was screaming at her reflection in the bath room(I don't hang out with this girl, because I'm not popular. I hate her too). Then, we went back on the bus because it was a field trip. The two teacher chaperones for my bus were Mr. Rufner, and Mr. McGoldrick(both are REALLY cool teachers). I remember sitting in the front of the bus, on the left side, in the three seater, with three people in it. The seats were blue and really small. I was on the outside, toward the isle, Danielle was sitting next to me, which was weird, because again, I hate her and never hang out with her. and the person by the window, I don't know. So anyways, I thought we were in jersey(which is where Lumi, Danielle, and I live, in the same town, duh), but then we started passing these really big farms and stuff, and I KNEW we weren't in Jersey, we were in the countryside of Illinois(sp?). I looked out the window on the right side while still sitting in my seat on the left. I noticed this good looking guy, who was about 16 or 17, with a great face, but tall, and had red hair(no freckles) from out the window, but he was wearing one of those masks doctors wear when performing surgery. I went across the isle, to the right side of the bus, and was on my knees, looking out the window at this kid, who was now walking with the bus on the side of it!! I leaned out the window and said(as he took off the mask): "Ya know, you're not half bad[looking]." The kid replied, "yeah, I'd go out with you, too, (and he said my REAL name HERE, in this space)." and I asked him: how'd you know my real name?" Now, you're probably wondering, "what does this have to do with SON GOTEN?" well, the kid said: "Son Goten told me about you." (meaning you're his friend) I goggled at him, until he finally said: "farewell (he says my real name, again, here)." and then he stopped walking with the bus on the side of it. and then I woke up. freaky, huh? I've had other weird dreams. A LONG while back, like in March and April, these happened: I dreamt James was going to fire a Cera, for no reason. I mean, he did, but in my dream, mods had a certain about of time left for being a mod, and then that person wouldn't be a mod anymore. Well, I got upset, and I started yelling at James, and then he banned me. In another dream, was at this summer camp thing, and I was a camper. And there were two camp counselors, which were Justin and Cera(but Cera looked Asian in my dream, but she`s not.). So, we were playing a game where Justin and Cera were drawing a picture together, and then I had to guess what it was before they finished drawing it. I guessed(right) a dog and then a wolf. and here's the WEIRDEST part about this: my MOM was a camper there, and was with me while we were all playing this game. She was supposed to be playing it, but she was sort of watching instead. Have you guys had any dreams involving OB members/staff?[/color]

[color=indigo]I did a LOT during the down time. Yeah, I waited a week, and realized it wasn't coming back so I did other things. I was at Nerdsy's board for a while, then started talking to Kevin and Charles, joined AE, got a mod job there, and towards the end, I joined um..... that Digimon board that Devidramon's on. The one where I started screaming at him, saying I knew him. -_-' But, most of the time, was spent talking to Kev, Charles, or on AE. I did a LOT of things there. Got a mod job, and one time, while talking to Kev over AIM, he whacked me with his Administrator's Saber (don't ask) and in retaliation, I smashed a bottle of purple nail polish on his head, thus my location. I also created a weapon from that, WoPP which I used to smash several people on the head with and turn off kuja's unwanted attention of me. *kills kuja* Shortly before OB went down, while trying to create a private AIM sn, I wanted something with Mistress on it, Lumi helped me some up with some words. I ended up not using them, but some of them were cool, so I kept them on a sheet of paper(which I still have). One night, over AIM, I created the title "Mistress of the Darkness" for myself(darkness was one of those words), but didn't really think much of it, until I used it as my username on the MYiB support forums(which is where I found out about AE). Then, I remembered one of those words, "heart" and had "Mistress of Hearts" as my user name(those boards turned up being totally stupid, but I still had a title I liked). And then, of course, Yu-Gi-Oh cards came into play over the summer, and I liked "Doma the Angel of Silence", so I took the "Angel of Silence" as another title. I haven't been using the titles "Mistress of Hearts" and the "Angel of Silence" until rcently, and I changed "mistress(I couldn't be the mistress of TWO things)" to "tsarina". Thus my introduction to myself in my sig. I also thought of a wicked awesome story/ fanfic, but I can't tell what it's about. *clamps mouth over Lumi, Charles and an un-named other, and if this un-named other tells who s/he is, I might have to kill him/her* So, I really did a LOT of things during the down time. Although I was upset that OB was down, I sort of have that to thank for these cool new things, especially the FANFIC! *grins insanely* ^^;[/color]

[color=indigo]Well, I certainly wouldn't be Roxy89. When I saw some of the old versions of OtakuBoards, I said: "Oh My God...". And, If you click on the link for OtakuBoards on the old version of TheOtaku, it takes you(well, at least me), to a version of the boards that's pink. Would that be version one?[/color]

[color=indigo]I think Kaiba has a Yami. But it doesn't have green hair. Kaiba dyed his hair green. I've never seen a picture of him like that, though. I'll have to find one. I happen to LOVE Seto Kaiba, too, Ginny. So does Luminaire. She has a jacket that looks like his. Sorta. :p Although, if you and her happen to get into a catfight, I'll hand Seto over and go take ami-With his jacket OFF. Have you ever seen the picture of him w/o the jacket on the inside cover of the rule book? He's [b]SO[/b] Hot! **EDIT** I saw a fan art picture of Kaiba with green hair, and he DOES look like Ken Icihouji with the uniform. But I think I prefer Kaiba with Brown hair and his jacket. :love:[/color]

[color=indigo]Nice pic. Before it completely loaded, I saw the mismatched eyes. I was thinking: "I thought Cera could draw eyes the same". Turns out half of the pic is evil and the othrr half is good. Whoops. My bad. eheh. I never realized Pegasus and Bakura's eyes are the same color. Yeah I knew both of them were brown, but I never made the connection. Oooooooo. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Yami Bakura stole the Millenium eye.... Bah, what do I know?[/color]

[quote][i]Originally posted by liamc2[i][b] Word *don't laugh, I'm serious*[/b][/quote] [color=indigo]:laugh: AHAHAHA!!!!!!!! I know you said NOT to laugh, but it's sooooo funny! AHAHAHA!!!!!! I just burst out laughing when I saw that, before I even got to the no laughing part. I dont have the other programs you mentioned, so I have no idea what the heck they are. I do, however, think AOL's paint thingy is ok. It's good for inverting colors, removing color, and fading/darkening pictures. That's about it. All you have to do is click and drag an image to the edge of the screen on an AOL window. Of course, not all of us have AOL. Currently, I ahv the sig feature disabled so I cannot see the banner in your sig. I might enable it, for a sec, just for you. hold on........ Oh. I see the banner. It's pretty good for MS Paint. Now, if only I knew where to get the font.... The banner in my sig was made in MS Paint. Putting in the words PIXEL BY DARN PIXEL. I'm currently working on anotehr one, but I'm L-A-Z-Y, so it's NEVER getting finished.[/color]
