[size=1][i]Bridge to Terebithia[/i] is a wonderful book. It's by Katherine Paterson, and even if you haven't read her other stuff, it's a very good book to read. Jesse meets a tomboy named Leslie, and they become good friends. Leslie is an amazing character--she's original, fun, and quirky. She lives with her parents (who she calls by their first names) and doesn't have a television. She runs races with the boys at recess--unheard of--and wins them all. Jesse isn't sure how to react to her, but he loves her just the same. They make up a kingdom called Terebithia, where they rule. It's an amazing story, and completely familiar to anyone who's ever had an imagination...and been forced to live, at least sometimes, in the real world. I cry every time I read this book.[/size]

[size=1]It's different, heh. I like it. Makes me feel like I need to stop and read it every time I see it, though.. _ _[/size]

[size=1]Heh, thanks. Anyway, yeah...just the products of a bored mind and [i]what would happen if I did this?[/i] It's much safer to contemplate that question in Photoshop than real life, heh...[/size]

[size=1]Yeah, every time I see your av, I think you're him. [/size]

[size=1]I'm not sure about the stretch from tsars to Hitler...but hey, whatever floats your canoe. Funny, to some extent.[/size]

[size=1]And not one pic of Legolas, hm... heh...Well....it made me laugh. ^_^[/size]

[size=1]It'd be an interesting experiment, heh.[/size]

[size=1][b]Lyrics, excuse the eccentricities...[/b] I've known you forever Forever and a day And I wonder now If I always knew It was gonna end this way I've known you forever But I don't think that I knew Just how much I really did-- Just how much that I really did Love you And I know I think I loved you And I swore I'd never lie But I lied when I said never When you asked me if I'd cry And you know I think I loved you though I never let it show I think that I've been loving you for all my life And I never said [i]I do[/i]-- Why's it so hard to let go? Baby....Maybe....I think I love you. I've loved you forever Forever and a day And I wonder now If I always knew It was gonna end this way I've known you forever But it's as plain as day Forever wasn't long enough And it's over now And I'm gonna cry Again.[/size]

[size=1]While I won't comment on the logic behind it, this is probably the best work of yours I've seen.[/size]

[size=1]Vicky, darling--I think he's asking if anyone has read a certain manga, not asking for people to critique his post.[/size]

[size=1]I like it. There are one or two errors, but I'm not sure if they're even just typos. You've got a good rhythm, and nice rhymes. [i]This feeling like an acid rain... Or is it depression maybe pain,[/i] [color=red]Is it depression--is it pain[/color] Though, this bit irks me. I like the rest of the stanza, but it feels like you'v got an extra syllable in there, and it's kind of awkward. Also, [i]is it[/i] instead of [i]maybe[/i] fits with the rest of the stanza--the repetition is good. If you weren't going for repetition there, ignore that.[/size]

[size=1]Please don't double-post. ^_~ It clutters the threads, and is against the rules here. It's not bad, but it would be much nicer to read with paragraph breaks--leave an empty line between them. You also need to be more careful in your punctuation. I know Lady A went through one of your pieces last night, pointing out things. You've made several of the same mistakes here. [/size]

[size=1]People aren't banned pointlessly here. Watch your step. COuld be better, could be worse. You said you were just writing [i]things down that kinda rhymed but made little or no sense[/i], so I won't get technical on you. ^_~[/size]

[size=1]Run it through Spellcheck and use paragraph breaks. If you're serious about it, have a friend beta-read it for you. They'll often catch things you've missed.[/size]

[size=1]Spellcheck will catch things like that. "luckys" isn't a word. It's very sweet, though. Pet stories always get me.[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#808080]But is it an actual martial art with a real life history or is it something copied from an anime? lol[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]Seriously, it is so funny to watch people pull moves from movies and stuff. ^_^ My friends *cough*the coordinated ones*cough* do that all the time, it it's just hilarious.[/SIZE]

[size=1]Nee hee. New artist person! Heh, I like them. Very bright and bold and stuff. ^_^[/size]

[size=1]Neeee. *whimpers* I was not expecting that. It's very impressive....disturbing, but impressive, heh.[/size]

[size=1]Nee hee. You have no idea how long I stared at that when I got it. ^_~ Some of them really remind me of that cartoon [i]Doug[/i]. Dunno if I've told you that before, heh.[/size]

[size=1]I'm not sure...I've downloaded some cool ones in the past, but I could never figure out how to use them. ^^;[/size]

[size=1]It's okay to play the good Samaritan. You don't need to feel bad about it--maybe she did need the money. Maybe she didn't. But no hard came of it, and it's nice to see someone who'd not yet jaded to requests for help.[/size]
