[font=Garamond][color=seagreen][url="http://hyperreal.org/~mike/pub/altraveFAQ.html"][color=gray]This[/color][/url] is a great article for those of you who are not aware of what a rave is. Very inspirational in my eyes.[color=seagreen] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rave_party#History"][color=gray]This[/color][/url] makes me wish I was born fifteen years earlier to be able to fully enjoy the explosion of the rave scene.[/color][/color][/font]

[font=Garamond][size=2][color=seagreen]Hells yes I remember Reboot! That was one of my favorite cartoons. It was on about 10 or 11 years ago (back when cartoons were actually good). I used to watch it every saturday morning along with Sonic the Hedgehog, Bump in the Night, Bill Nye, and numerous other classic cartoons/shows that eventually got cancelled or sent to cable.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Garamond][size=2][color=seagreen]Good times, good times.[/color][/size][/font]

[quote name='Corey][size=1']People on ecstacy don't make other people act like they're on ecstacy...Not something that you can get any kind of second-had high off of.[/quote][/size] [font=Garamond][size=2][color=seagreen]You missed my point completely. I'm not saying that you literally get high, you just start acting like them. Contageous behavior is what it is. Oh, and if anyone reading this is from my area, the local rave is SPACE DANCE![/color][/size][/font]

[FONT=Garamond][SIZE=2][COLOR=DarkGreen]Going to a rave(s) is very high up on my to-do list. It's always been a dream of mine. The music, the lights, the darkness, the total disregard for personal space. Bliss. Some friends of mine throw a local rave every whenever they feel like it. It's substance-free, of course, and always has an excellent turn out. I believe that you don't need to be "trippin" to have a good time at a rave, because if everyone around you is f'd on E, then you start to act like it, too.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Hobo Bob']I guess im a punk cause i wear rock band shirts and vans and i like to shop at hot topic which by the way has the best shirts ever...[/quote] [font=Garamond][size=2][color=SeaGreen][url="http://www.otakuboards.com/showpost.php?p=609322&postcount=7"][u]Ahem.[/u][/url] And that's all I'm going to say about that. Stereo types are fine by me. Without them our society would cease to exist, at least the society found in any high school. The reason I didn't mention college is because although stereotypes still exist, collegiates tend to be more accepting towards those who are different. Usually. Stereotypes help bring order to what would be either a chaotic or completely mundane existance. Even though I'm okay with the existance of stereotypes, there are plenty o' which I cannot stand or even tolerate. Number one on my list would absolutely have to be the jocks/preps. They are both filed under the same category in my book as the differences between the two are not a deffinative black and white, but rather a smeared grey. I believe that mc chris' description of jocks in his song "Geek" is the best that I've heard. It goes, "..." actually, since it's not 13 years or under appropriate, I'll let those old enough to look it up do so. I would cosider myself an "Enlightened Technophilic Non-conformist." If you have any questions on what that exactly means, just type "Mr. Maul, wtf, mate?" in the subject line of your next post in this particular thread, and hopefully I would have had enough sleep to answer you, seeing as how it is pretty late here. I plan to add to my thoughts and criticize the thoughts of others once I have been well-rested.[/color][/size][/font]

[quote name='ThatOneOddDude']Why was your friend saying "its all your fault?"[/quote][font=Garamond][size=2][color=seagreen]I don't know why he was saying that. It just adds to the strangeness of it all. It made it very vision-esque, as if he was foretelling an unseen future. Maybe I'm just looking into this way to much.[/color][/size][/font]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=2][FONT=Garamond]Déjà vu can be a blessing as well as freakishly terrifying. Usually, whenever I've had the vu in the past, it had never lasted more than about 5 seconds or so. Then last year, I had the most vivid and longest lasting vu ever. I was walking down the hallway of my school when all of a sudden, like a car wreck, déjà vu strikes. It was so vivid and seemingly like a memory that I was actually able to predict to myself what was going to happen before it happened. I forget what or how it was triggered, but it went something similar to this (- indicates my thought, * indicates an action): - The person to my right will slam her locker shut, causing herself to drop her books. * Girl to my right shuts her locker and then drops her books. * I look to my left, and see one of my friends coming my way. * He says "It's all your fault." - He's going to say it again, but this time he'll point. * "It's all your fault," he says, extending his arm and index finger to point at me. * I begin to walk through a section where two hallways intersect. - There's going to be a group of boys that walk in front of me, from the right, laughing. * A large group of boys walk out in front of me from the right. All of a sudden, they burst out into laughter. - That girl at her locker is going to wave to me. * A girl I know is standing at her locker. As I approach, she waves to me. ... It went on like this for over thirty seconds, though it seemed like minutes. Time had somehow slowed down. The air I was walking through seemed to have turned into water. I was confused and wanted it to stop. I knew what was going to happen about a half second before it actually happened, as if it were a video game level that I had played a million times before. My theory is that the subconscious mind picks up on hints, clues, and events that are happening around you that the conscious mind is too busy to bother paying attention to. The mind then analyses these events and arranges them into the most probable and logical outcome. It usually prevents these precognitive simulations from surfacing, but sometimes these thoughts do arise, not as thoughts, though, but as memories. It could be paralleled to human instincts. The ability to sense certain situations before they actually occur, if, in fact, they do or will occur. I've read studies on the issue of the subconscious mind and its abilities. It's said that the subconscious mind absorbs all stimuli that it ever experiences or senses. Such stimuli could range from books read, to food eaten, to even dreams created. Anything that you see, no matter how many or how few times you've seen it, even if it's just a flash, such as a single fame of a movie, is instantly ingrained into your subconscious. Everything you've ever experienced is stored inside your brain. Recalling or remembering these items is a completely different matter altogether, and is the job of the conscious brain. What I'm trying to say is that the mind is a really strange thing and Déjà vu is freaky.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

If I did dye it, though, I would make it bright red, and then style it like Jimmy Urine.

[font=Garamond][size=2][color=seagreen]Wow. Everyone's saying Fight Club is the best movie ever, the storyline's the best, and all that cal. Personally, I haven't seen it, but I have read the book (yes it was a book before it was a movie. 3 years before, in fact), and I can already determine that the movie won't even come close to capturing the book (do they ever?).

[b][u]3 Days of the Condor [/u][/b]- The only movie I have ever seen that acuratly depicted fone phreaking. Not just regular, run-o'-the-mill phreaking, but field phreaking. Technical phreaking.

[b][u]Time Bandits[/u][/b] - The best fantasy/sci-fi film ever. A classic. Very similar to Laberynth (and vice versa), but without the sicking breaking out into song every five seconds. For the children, of course.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Garamond][size=2][color=#2e8b57][/color][/size][/font] [font=Garamond][size=2][color=#2e8b57]3. [b][u]Dark Star[/u][/b] - An excellent, low-budget, cult classic. It's a sci fi spoof/satire that is sometimes quite humourous if you are quick enough to catch the jokes.

[font=Garamond][color=seagreen]I despise B.S.F. I hate the song "1985" with a firey passion. They're a pop-"punk"-posuer band. The only thing good that came from that song was my parody "1984" (Read the book). Anywho, that's my thought.[/color][/font]

I know even I have problems with the HTML. Every time I post, I have to look up in the FAQ how to do some of the things. And I am almost certain I could not upload music onto a post without a PhD in computer science. Someone should write an in-depth, yet comprehensible to the average layman guide to doing these things, and post it. There probably already is one in the FAQ section, but I don't know.[/color][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=#707875][font=Garamond][color=#2e8b57][/color][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=#707875][quote]"...some of those RPGs haven't taken off -- perhaps they were a bit too unique for the mainstream RPers."[/quote][/color][/size] [size=2][color=#707875][/color][/size] [size=2][font=Garamond][color=seagreen]This has happened to every singal one of my RPGs on here.[/color][/font][/size] [size=2][font=Garamond][color=#2e8b57][/color][/font][/size] [size=2][font=Garamond][size=1][color=#8b0000][quote name='Annie']"...it's impossible to create an "original" RPG.

[font=Garamond][size=2][color=seagreen]This sounds like a very interesting and unique idea. Two things which I have been searching for. So, what's the URL to the site you discovered this on? I'd like to take a peek at it to get some ideas.[/color][/size][/font]
