Sara

[size=1]*laughs* Well, if you're using it to link to the site itself, I think you're in the clear. ^_~[/size]

[size=1]Raelly?!?! Heh, I just don't think that would work. And things like manga, kawaii, alohomora (I don't even know how to spell that correctly, heh..), etc., would still show up as wrong. There [i]are[/i] a lot of things you can do to remedy that problem to some extent--custom word databases, obviously, but in the long run I think it's probably more trouble than it's really worth. As it's been mentioned, the people it would most directly be aimed at are the most likely to simply ignore it.[/size]

[size=1]Those are great. The violins look just fine, by the way. Musicallness is so cool, heh.[/size]

[size=1]I like 'em. You did your cropping well, used bright pictures, and...well...all that other good avatar stuff. ^_~. They're cheerful, too. They're simple, but good. Sort of a breath of fresh air compared to how complicated graphics have been getting lately. [What's the name of the little green dog? I like him.][/size]

[size=1]The easiest thing seems to be what Juu suggested. If you feel like making your own....the "logo" uses century gothic font with the [b]otaku[/b] part bolded. The general scheme seems to be shades of periwinkle...or something to that effect. ^_~ Have fun.[/size]

[SIZE=1]This is a pic of Yanamaria, one of my plethora of characters. I actually stuck to this picture (well, relatively so) and finished in in what I think was two days. I'm rather pleased with myself--it took a lot of patience to brave Photoshop; the silly program keeps crashing my computer. Anyway. Yana's a doll--and a broken one, at that. (Note the gaping hole in the side of her head.) I really like her hairstyle, though; it's a lot of fun to work with. (Incidently, it's the only reason I keep drawing her all over the place...I just love drawing her hair, heh.) On a slightly different note, the fact that she's a doll means that I don't have to draw detailed hands for her. Heh. ^_~ A nice aspect of the not-quite-human world. As per always: Questions, comments, criticisms....and no ratings, please. ^_~ [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=424006[/img] This is the smaller version.[/SIZE]

[size=1]Premature births can be scary--I'm glad to hear that they're doing well. Tell Deborah that Sara says hello. Best wishes and prayers for both of them. ^_~[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by XBebop [/i] [B]i REALY hope your being sarcastic.. [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]On which point were you hoping for sarcasm? There was none in that post, but I'm curious.[/SIZE]

[size=1]Heh, my friend Heather and I love this movie. It's great--sort of a cult thing, really, but great nonetheless. "You remind of the the babe--" "What babe?" "The babe with the power--" "What power?" "The power of voodoo--" "Who do?" "You do--" "What?" "Remind me of the babe." Heheh. I love the little fox-dude, too, what's his name? Sir...Didymus, or something? The "Firies," though, or whatever they are, are just freaky.[/size]

[b]If the kid had any sensible upbringing, he would certainly have had the sense to NOT aim a toy gun at a cop. [/b] [size=1]Or maybe the cop would have had the sense not to shoot and kill a five-year-old kid. I guess I can't really comment effectively on this. We never had toy guns when I was growing up. Not even water guns, heh. House rule.[/size]

[size=1]That's an awesome picture...heh... And yeah, the crossed arm thing is sort of an artistic license you see with a lot of "strong" characters. And your coloring job is great so far.[/size]

[size=1]I love urban legends. If you're interested, there's a rather extensive database at [url=http://www.snopes.com]Snopes.com[/url] They list a variation of the one you posted [url=http://www.snopes.com/critters/edibles/tourist.htm]here.[/url] And if you're really a glutton for punishment, you can check your local library for any books by Jan Harold Brunvand. He's got a ton of compliations, along with some research and other interesting stuff.[/size]

[size=1]We don't allow one-word posts here. Try creating a thread that encourages some discussion. ^_~[/size]

[size=1]We generally ask that posts be more than four words long. If you wanted to try the same thing with longer posts, it might work out.[/size]

[size=1]I think the word for that is anthropomorphic--or something close to it.[/size]

[size=1]I'd rather be a member. ^_~ There's a great deal less responsibility. It's nice just to come here and not feel obligated to check on your designated forum(s). On the other hand, I do enjoy actually being able to do something about double posting, etc. So I don't [i]mind[/i] moderating--besides, it gives me an excuse to get to know the rest of staff a little better, which is something I've honestly been meaning to do. All things considered, having experienced time here as member, moderator, [i]and[/i] category mod, I'll say my stint as Digimod was the most [b]fun.[/b] (Although that was admittedly because of the "era" I was a moderator in. I got along with more people much better then.) The period after I stepped down from modding, though, was probably the most enjoyable--I knew just what I was missing. ^_~[/size]

[size=1]That''s so pretty. I love her hair, especially. Looking at it again, the only thing that stick out is the little bag at her side--it really needs some sort of shadow to show it's below her arm. There are a few other similar places, but that's one that sort of stick out for me. Other than that...I really love this picture.[/size]

[size=1]Actually, he used to have his signature say he was bi...And then he said he was surprised no one had commented on it. *wanders off*[/size]

[size=1]We used to have an ant problem at our old house...this is when I was five or six, right after we moved in. Dad spent about a year sprinkling ant crystals all around the outside of the house and in the basement. The problem went away and never came back. Now, though, we're in a new house, and we have the problem all over again. *laughs*[/size]

[size=1]The things about a spell-checker--There are a [i]lot[/i] of words it won't recognize. People's names, titles of series, websites, even things like [i]manga[/i] or [i]newbie.[/i] (or [i]Otaku[/i].) I don't want something suggesting that I [i]really[/i] mean [i][b]mango[/i][/b] every time I post about Chobits... [/size]

[size=1][i]Welcome to Dead House...[/i] Was that the first one?[/size]

[size=1]I wear glasses. (When I can find them...) Ruffles? I have to admit, I'm really not much for ruffles, heh. (Certainly not on a picture of myself. o0) I generally do keep away from various accessories, unless I'm in a strange mood. ...I like simple images, I guess. [/size]

I dont believe in death, hence, death isnt real.[/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]I don't believe in pre-marital sex, hence.....:whoops: Just caught my eye. You're an extraordinarily interesting person, Plo Koon. [/SIZE]

[size=1]I've had folks online think I was 40 some years old..that was funny, and I cleared it up rather quickly. Good times, that... I s'pose it depends what exactly you mean by mature. I don't really classify people by ages--"Oh, he acts like a fourteen year old"--because I've never been able to figure out what, exactly, a fourteen-year-old is supposed to act like. If I need an example, I usually say that people are acting "like fifth graders." I don't really qualify goofing off as immature, either. It's just a part of who you are. There's a time and a place for it. If you're lucky, the time and place is easy to stumble across.[/size]

[SIZE=1]Felt like posting some stuff. ^_~ This is..er...me. Heh.[/SIZE] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=421884[/IMG] [SIZE=1]Whaddya think?[/SIZE]
