[size=1]*closes eyes and rocks back and forth, muttering* Eh, sorry. This is just a little too similar to the scholarship essays I've been writing. I guess I define friends...loosely..as people you can laugh with. There's some sort of comradery there. I suppose Mitch will grace us with the dictionary definition. [/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by visser 3 [/i] [B]1 what were you doing swimming in the lake[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]It's...a lake. You're allowed to swim in it. [/size]

[size=1]They could indeed. In such cases, though, there's also an IP ban, that won't allow anyone to access the boards from a particular computer.[/size]

[size=1]My friend is mildly obsessed with this show/manga, so I know a little. Heh, I like the turtle.[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Turkey [/i] [B]*Still wondering why Zeh would be at the Anime Lounge* On topic- I would be really dissapointed, because I would never see many of my favorite shows again (NO LAIN? :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: ). However, my pocket would be much fatter... [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]This thread started in GD. ^_~[/size]

[size=1]My dad keeps waiting for me to grow out of it...and all I really do is draw the stuff. ^_~[/size]

[size=1]Yeah--I--[i]dang[/i], what was it? Okay, I've got it now. ^_^ I think it's called "Out, out--" Reference to Shakespeare. [/size]

[size=1]I (unfortunately) know a lot of things that go into Lake Michigan. Dead people? I don't doubt it. Raw sewage? Uh huh. It was a big deal last summer. I found a dead dog washed up on shore once. There was a cryptosporidium outbreak here when I was eight, and all the drinking fountains were taped off. We had to boil our water all the time before using it...but I can't remember taking that precaution at any other time. They close down the beach most of the summer because the e coli count is too high, too. I still drink the water. The alternative being, oh....digging my own freakin' well.[/size]

[size=1]*glances at Mitch* Anyway. I don't really use "beautiful" to refer to looks. I might let it slip sometimes, but I'll usually use cute, or pretty, or gorgeous...depending on the object in question. Beautiful is different. At the risk of sounding corny, I'll say that I classify it more as loving and kindness--One of the worst-looking people I know is also among the most beautiful, simply because of the kind of person he is.[/size]

[size=1]*laughs happily* I love your comics. ^_^[/size]

[size=1]Heheheh. I love your file names. ^_^ If he looks hard enough, he can probably find one.[/size]

[size=1]I was also expecting some kind of vehicle.. *wonders if she should actually draw this* Anyway. I like them. They are very big... They sort of make me think of watercolor pencils. ^_^ Those are fun. Her mouth seems a bit too far to the side in the first one, that irks me a little. Don't know the character, so no further comments. *offers you a yellow smiley sticker*[/size]

[size=1]It's sort of...Pink. Which I didn't expect. Maybe a different color would fit better. Is that part of an image, or an effect you added?[/size]

[size=1]Only a very small portion shows up. Yeah, you should probably resize that one, heh.[/size]

[size=1]I would...sleep. Yes, sleep. Sleep is good. Maybe then I could get over this cold, ugh..[/size]

[size=1]I think it would have been more a satire if you didn't expalin it [i]quite[/i] so much. Amusing, however.[/size]

[size=1]I hadn't posted. It does remind me of that dream, and that's really something I'd rather forget. It's..a good grasp of emotion. I guess that's all I have to say. Sorry.[/size]

[size=1]Fire and Ice. *thwacks self on forehead* Frost wrote that. ......I knew that. *laughs self consciously* Parts of it have been running through my head all week, but I couldn't remember the whole thing, and I coudn't look it up in my poetry ref books, because I wasn't sure of the phrasing of the first line, or who wrote it... *realizes she is rambling, and falls quiet* Anyway, thank you![/size]

[size=1]Confused by the term "Grapefruit League," Farmer Smalls because his own [i]Watermelon League[/i] tee-ball tournament.[/size]

[size=1]I actually just leave out the "u" now. I think it looks...cleaner...the other way. So, yeas...unless I'm feeling arrogant or fancy, I just use the Amercan spelling there. I use [b]grey[/b] for the color...and, uh...aliens? What?[/size]

[size=1]Really? You like the mending wall one? I didn't mind it, but my teacher picked it to death... I liked the bit about the trees invading each man's property, though. I think my favorite is "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." It's just so..perfect. [i]The woods are lovely, dark, and deep...but I have promises to keep...and miles to go, before I sleep...[/i] *shivers* And "The Road not Taken," of course. I think that's his best known, is it not? Or perhaps just the one I was most familiar with first.[/size]

[size=1]heh...color vs. colour. I have a story about that. When I was in second grade, and reading [i]the Hobbit[/i], we had a spelling test; one of the words was [b]COLOR[/B]. I'd just been through the first few chapters of the book, and had specifically noted the spelling of the word. I wrote [b]colour[/b] on my test, and got it marked wrong. When I got the test back, I didn't say anything, didn't check a dictionary....went home and checked my copy of [i]The Hobbit.[/i] C-O-L-O-U-R. Pffeff, memories.. On a similar note, who uses [b]grey[/b] and who uses [b]gray[/b]?[/size]

[size=1]It seems like kind of a sappy ending, but a lot of endings are. The story itself sort of makes me think of [i]Frankenstein.[/i] Read that, you may find some inspiration.[/size]

[size=1]Dreams can be very intense, and it's neat that you could remember this well enough to write it down. Unfortunately, we don't get nearly the same effect I'm sure you did. More of his thoughts would help, maybe. Your narrating seems kind of...distant.[/size]

[size=1]There's a definite sense of paranoia there. When even the shadows of things hate you, you're in a bit of a bind. I don't know..I'm used to reading this kind of poery, I guess, and this seems very...general. It touches lightly on a lot of things, but doesn't really explore what might be beneath. The whole thing seems rather..unfinished. Which is a cool effect, when done right, but I don't think it's quite what you were going for. The last line, though, I really like. Cold.[/size]
