[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Justin [/i] [B]I hope that answers your question. And by the way, I'm not Christian. I just like to study religion every now and then. -Justin [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]That, my friend, is awesome.[/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Justin [/i] [B]I STILL go back and forth between the two. I enjoy silence and solitude but, I find it hard to obtain sometimes. I have many [i]aquaintances[/i] and only a few [i]friends[/i]. The first being what most people call 'friends' and the second being what most call 'close friends.' [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]Yep. That's it exactly. I've had six close friends in my life. I'm still in touch with only two of them... "Michelle" "Mike" and "Jenny" I knew at my old grade school. After I switched schools, though, I lost track of them shortly. "Michelle" moved out of state, and we were pen pals for a while, but that died out pretty quick. "Carrie" and I never saw each other after I switched schools. I saw her at once, just two years later, and she had no clue who I was. "Mike" got leukemia in second grade. One of my very few true regrets is that I never managed to keep in touch with him. I would give anything to know how he is now, or if he's even alive... "Christa" I've known ever since I could remember. But she bgan having family problems and pulled away. She came to stay with us the summer I was in sixth grade, after she'd attempted suicide. Even then, she wasn't the same goofy girl I had been best friends with when we were little. She was living in my house, and I didn't even know her. "Mary" and I were each other's only friends for about six years. I don't know if we just pulled together because there was no one else, or what. We go to different high schools now, but still see eachother at Youth Group on Sundays. That's about it. And I now have a totally awesome friend we'll call "Jenny." She's helped me through some awful stuff, and is a fun, wonderful, goofy girl. At school I've got a crew of loose friends and maybe one or two potential "close friends." Takes me a long while to really trust anybody anymore. Sometimes I wish it didn't. I've hurt a lot of people, just because I couldn't bring myself to trust them...[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]No, I'm afraid I didn't see it. I shall have to see if and when it is airing again in my area...[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]Safer, I can't figure out if that was hilarious or seriously disturbing....[/FONT]

[quote][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]I thought it was an awesome book. How could you not like it? I hated all of Steinbeck's other stuff that I've read, but The Grapes of Wrath was such a beautiful story.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]Erhm...was that the one with the chapter about the turtle crossing the road? or perhaps I'm thinking of something else...[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]Being patriotic is one thing. Being moronic is another.[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]LoL, are you serious? He's Dr. Seuss, only the best children's author ever. [Don't suppose I'[m biased, do you?] Wrote [i]The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Hop on Pop, Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hears a Who!, The Butter Battle Book, The Lorax, Yertle the Turtle...[/i] ::continues rattling off titles::[/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]:twitch: Someone please strip these people of their Star Wars Fanatic titles...! Heh, nah, just kidding. Though I still can't understand how you'd dislike TESB...it's the motional core and turning point for the entire Star Wars universe. I can't begin to express my immense passion for this excellent second installment...[/color] [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]heh. I hardly claim to be a fanatic. I love the first three (second three?) movies, but I just never really got into any of the books...not for lack of trying, but they just never "clicked" for me. Empire Strikes Back [i]is[/i] my favorite movie, however. The emotions run very deep, it always intrigued me...[/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sephiroth [/i] [B] to steal a quote from cera.... you, sir, are awesome.... [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]Heh, I totally agree. Piro, that was awesome.[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]My topic is the totally awesome Dr. Seuss![/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by \?~NoodleZ~?/ [/i] [B] [size=1] We aren't saying that every girl is like that because every girl isn't like that Cera. Like you. I mean some girls are, they think that you have to pay for everything and some people will say that is being a gentlemen but why waste your money when there is a very high chance that they will just dump you after the date?[/size] [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]Heh. I'm not saying that I feel you've generalized all girls....I'm just commenting that if those are the awful impressions you get, you must know some real jerks. ;) Leastaways in my opinion. Heh, anyway.[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]Money's important. In our society, you can't get along without it. Food, clothes, rent, taxes, whatever. But hey--some of the best things are free, or cost very little. Check out the 'favorite things' thread.[/FONT] ]

[FONT=century gothic]Please, [i]don't[/i] do anything drastic. You're having a hell of a time right now, but I have every confidence that you'll pull through. Don't worry about God damning you. When I see people worrying about things like this--it sometimes makes me think James has got the right of things. Religion is crazy. But that's definitely NOT the important thing here. Hey--what the little kids learn in Sunday School holds true. God loves ya. Unconditionally. [i]No matter what.[/i] If that's not something you want to hear about right now, that's okay. Even if you don't realize it, you do have people who care about you. You can pull through this. Life's rough--you're having a worse time than a lot of people--but please don't give up. If you want to talk, you can reach me on AIM or Yahoo at cynic042.[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]Err....Constantinople....now Istanbul....seat of the Byzantine/Eastern Holy Roman Empires.... That's about the extent of my knowledge. ;)[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]heh... So I never talk on the phone.... I'm not selfish.... I don't feel that I am irrational..... I don't get into enemy/friend relationships with other people... Gee. You guys must know some pretty rotten girls, if those are the impressions you get.[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]Sooner or later, I'm going to have to write a science fiction/fantasy story or school. (Hasn't been assigned yet, but it's coming up...) Unfortunately, most of the items in my "To Write" box have a firm basis in reality. Anyone have any sci-fi ideas to get me started? Your help would be much appreciated.[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]It's a cute story, Blanko, and I like it--but could you change it to size one, or do something to make it a bit shorter? It's a bit long[/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Final_Flash [/i] [B]Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, Brown paper packages tied up with strings, These are a few of my favorite things... Cream collored ponies and crisp apple strudel, Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles, Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, These are a few of my favorite things... Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters that melt into springs, These are a few of my favorite things... You get the idea.. [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]You, sir, are awesome.[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch/You really are a heel/You're as cuddly as a cactus/you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch! or something to that effect.[/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]heh, nice, Shyguy![/FONT]

[FONT=century gothic]SSJ5 Vegeta, I just want to say that your post made me really happy. What a great thing, to read about other people's little joys in life! I especially liked the bit about the skittles. I love: [list] [*]waking up in the middle of the night and listening to a thunderstorm ouside. Sometimes I'll drag my great big blanket over to the window and watch the lightning... [*]Curling up in my giant warm sleeping bag and slowly falling asleep [*]Running for the sake of running! Sometimes I'll just take off and run down to the lakefront and spend time alone with the lake.... [*]Waking up early on summer mornings and going outside barefoot [*]Finding spiderwebs full of dew in the grass [*]Coming home from the library with a backpack full of books to read [*]Just listening to people talk, and having them make me laugh [*]Finding the perfect bargain at a rummage sale [*]Going outside during/just after a snow storm, when everything's silent and white and the air is so full of quiet and sleepiness! [*]playing a difficult piece of music perfectly for the first time [/list] ::grins:: There's really so much stuff that I love! [/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shyguy [/i] [B][SIZE=1]My favorite Star Wars character has to be Lando Calrissean, he was so cool, much better than Han.[/size] [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]Bite your tongue![/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B][color=deeppink]( Old Timers that I still love: ) *My Little Ponies *Rainbow Brite[/list] I wish I could find some My Little Ponies or Rainbow Brite tapes around :([/color] [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]Yea! Oh, I used to love those.... There used to be this video-rental place in our neighborhood--had all sorts of old cartoons. Care bears, My Little Pony, Moondreamers, Rainbow Brite--the whole lot of them. It just closed out last year.... [/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cloud [/i] [B] [COLOR=indigo]Actually that impersonatiopn sucked... It made sence, one thing kuja's doesn't ;) [/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]heh...See, but I wanted people to understand what I was saying. It wasn't meant to be an imitation, exactly...[/FONT]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shyguy [/i] [B][SIZE=1]Back during World War 2 Geisel worked on some propaganda cartoons for the government. They were about how normal Americans could find out if their fellow neighbors were German spies. I wasa lucky enough to see one of them during an animation festival I went to a few months ago... it was very weird to see Dr. Seuss making war cartoons, but it was before he even started writing children's books.[/SIZE] [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]Mulberry street was published before that, I believe...wasn't it? [I should know this stuff, I'm doing a paper on him...] Yeah, there's a collection of his political cartoons called [i]Seuss Goes to War.[/i] Muchly cool.[/FONT]
