Well, I don't really spend all that long on MSN, I normally keep it open if I'm
not doing something that's really important so that my friends and family can
contact me if they want to.
Quote by Aoshi101I go on just about
everytime I get online. Depends. Its not addicting to me, the only reason why I
use it so much is because thats the only way I can contact some people.
Well, I really liked both series 1 and series 2 but I think that seeing the
first series really helped me understand what was going on with the characters
when I saw the second series I
thought the second series was quite sombre/more serious compared to the first.
My favourite character has to be Aya... he had such a way with words in the
first series and looked so lovely in that apron he wore when working I
forgot to mention what lovely hair he's got as well! I have to admit I'm a
sucker where it comes to redheads... especially those with long hair like Aya
and Kenshin for me, Aya only got better when they hit series 2 both in looks and
character development he
has to be one of the most saddest and tragic heroes I have ever come across with
regards to anime... although I enjoyed watching the second series I found that
it affected me because I found it so tragic and sad... especially the last
couple of episodes in connection with Aya... in the end, after watching it for a
few times in succession I decided to put this anime away because of this and
pull out something a bit more light-hearted instead the one character in this series that annoyed me every now and again has to
be Omi I'm afraid... many people have said it's just a very bad rip-off of
Saiyuki but I don't think so at all and I like the both of them the
opening themes for both of them in the first series is a bit too similar for my
liking and invites you to think like this so I think that those working on Weiss
Kreuz made a very bad error when they did this but the opening theme and
accompanying video which they had for the second season of Weiss Kreuz was
absolutely fabulous as far as I'm concerned... actually, I'm not really sure
where it comes just that it does make up the beginning or ending at some part
during season 2, it's the one where they're all covered in blood and in the
background you have a cross and statues of Angels etc it does an excellent job
of summing up all of their feelings as far as I'm concerned I
can't quite remember at what stage in the series this video was used because the
last time I saw this series was about a year ago I'm afraid
I think it depends on the type of hair you have (curly or straight), if you're a
boy or girl, have a good pair of scissors and what type of hairstyle you have in
the first place... when I used to have short layered hair then I would go to a
hairdresser to get it cut so that it would be done correctly but apart from
that, I've always cut my own hair since my early teens... I think so long as you
make sure to cut your hair when it's wet, with a good pair of scissors and with
a couple of mirrors so you can check what you're doing and make sure it's
relatively level then it should turn out okay in the end... if you think you're
not going to get it level then get somebody to help you who you trust to do the
right thing in cutting your hair if it's just trimming a little off the end...
personally I think that if I had straight hair, I would definitely get somebody
else to cut it because it's harder to make mistakes and cover them up afterwards
than with curly hair...
The last movie I watched properly was the House of Flying Daggers and it was
absolutely awesome... breathtaking scenery, lots of action and swordplay with a
bit of romance thrown in for good measure... Best foreign movie I've seen to
date
I enjoy having a bit of cheesecake and every now and again just so long as it's
just come out of the fridge or it's still really cold... if it's all warm it
just doesn't taste the same to me I'm afraid
BAFTA's and Oscars eat your heart out let
the "Celebration of Love" contest commence... good luck to everybody
who decides to throw their hat into the ring... I'm sure the judging will be a
heck of a lot fairer than the other two I've mentioned above
Hello there Jyu-Jyu just
dropping by to say that everything is fine with me I
hope everything is going well for you... if I'm not mistaken you're due to have
your little one very soon indeed good luck and take care of yourself and all the best for the future...
I don't think it's wrong at all to have close friendships with people who have
differing political views from your own I
think it's very narrowminded to overlook somebody just because their views
aren't necessarily the same as the ones you hold... you become friends with
others for a lot of reasons but you shouldn't let something like politics stand
in the way of you becoming good friends with others because of your differing
viewpoints... you can have plenty of heated and lively debates/discussions with
them at times because of it and I think it really helps you to think about why
you hold the values you do etc the key is to respect and tolerate one another
regardless... life would be very boring indeed if we all agreed with one another
The best thing that you can do is to try and stay positive throughout it all
which is currently what you're trying to do whenever you can... but I can
understand why sometimes you might get down about the whole thing and about what
the future might have in store for you... it's not an easy thing to have to cope
with especially when you notice that your vision is gradually deteriorating on
you if I knew I was going to go blind, I'd try and stay as positive about
everything as I could and as well as trying to soak up as much as I could
visually, do my best to live my life to the fullest bearing in mind my eyesight
was gradually deteriorating on me, I would also make sure I planned for the
future from the point of view that I would start to learn Braille so I would be
more prepared to face the future... with regards to anime, as daos mentioned
earlier on in her post, despite the fact you won't be able to see it, you'll
still be able to listen to it... I know it's not the same but at least it's
still something. At the end of the day you can only live each day as it comes,
try and get the most out of each and every day... don't ever give up and don't
ever lose hope... science and technology are wonderful things and medical
breakthroughs are being made each and every day... I hope that some of them will
be of use to you in battling this very rare eye disease you have...
Well, I'm just going to do the same thing I do each and every day for
me it's going to be just the same as every other day I have bought a little something for a couple of people in my family to
celebrate... my sister's two kids will be staying with me on that day as they
have half term the whole of this coming week I
think that's a really lovely idea of yours, to send all of your friends roses...
that's a very caring thing to do especially for those that don't have anybody
else to celebrate with romancewise
It's a very good thing she was so persistent... I'm very glad the state trooper
listened to her and took her suspicions seriously... I wish there were more
people in the world out there like her...
That's really sad... it's so important to concentrate when you're driving, I
don't think people should talk at all on cellphones when they're driving a
car... if you absolutely have to talk to somebody, they should find an
appropriate place to stop the car so they can use it safely and not pose a risk
to themselves and others using the roads...
I think they can you
hear more about male celebrity chefs then you do about female ones as to whether they actually bother to do so is another thing entirely!
I don't think they'll ever really make a sequel to Fruits Basket as much as I'd
like to believe they would... actually, I found the ending really moving but
that's probably because I don't read manga and so I couldn't compare the two
I get so emotional when it comes to the last three episodes that I
always have to make sure I have a spare box of Kleenex beside me whilst I'm
watching it I was happy to see them walking off together at the end but I couldn't
believe that was the end of it... I didn't want it to end because it was such a
lovely anime even though I learned later on that most people thought it was really bad
compared to the manga, personally, I still think it was fantastic...
Quote by OdeenaEvery day I have the
feeling that I'm doing a crime because I'm different from most people around me,
even though I *know* they're wrong to just resume to living their own selfish
and ignorant lives without giving a damn about what's going on around them, so
long as it doesn't bother them...
When I say that I'm different, I mean that I'm more aware of what's going on
around me, that I question the meaning of my life rather than just taking for
granted all the crap everyone feeds me, like "You live because you have to
please God", or "for the society", or "for your mother and
father", or... Strange that no-one says I can live for myself, even though
we're talking about *my* life in the end. I also question other things, like why
do I have to respect a teacher that bullies me and tells me all kinds of crap
(even though he has no reason to hate me since I'm one of the best in my class),
just because he's the teacher and I'm the student.
And there's another thing... I'm original, I like to be different from everyone
else, but when I express it I either get bullied, shouted at, or downright
humiliated (like it happens with my teacher). Everyone tries to make me become
one of them, a "normal" person, and they don't give a damn that I'm a
writer and an artist (...I'm going to publish a debut volume of short stories
next year), and that I've got a damn fragile psychic balance... Sometimes I
think the universe plain and simple hates me.
*sigh* You know, I actually feel better now that I got this out... If you
actually want to sympathize with me, feel free to, and I will love you
forever...
It's okay to be different you know it's
not a crime, I think it's wonderful that you can express yourself, your
individuality instead of hiding it or burying it in an effort to blend in with
those around you. It takes a lot of strength to go against the norm so to speak
you sound as if you're very intelligent and very curious/questioning about life
in general and I think that's very healthy indeed... maybe a lot of those around
you wish they had the kind of inner strength you seem to possess which enables
you to have the confidence to stand your ground against everybody else and
actually be yourself your
originality is what makes you stand out from the crowd... because you refuse to
conform to their idea of what a "normal" person is supposed to be
like, I think quite a lot of them may find it hard to know how to interact with
you, some may choose to leave you alone because they may be at a loss as to how
to go about getting to know you because they perceive you to be so different
from themselves, others might pick on you for lots of reasons like being envious
of your intellect/talent and your refusal to conform etc... however, I'm sure
you'll find others out there who are willing to accept you for who and what you
are... if you're happy with yourself that's the most important thing, if other
people have a problem in accepting you for who you are it's their problem, not
yours...
Quote by mughiFor the 2005 year, weather
has been very active and volatile. Some part of the world has been clobbered by
unseasonably cold spell and snow. Other part of the world is exactly opposite
with unseasonably warm temperature for the winter.
Weather pattern will always change but how much of this change was caused
artificially by man? Had United States join the rest of the world in Kyoto
Protocal, would it make big difference? I think China refused to join also and
that country is going full speed in industrilization which means more pollution
will be generated from that country down the road.
As for myself I hope the next president of United States will reverse course and
United States will sign the Kyoto Protocal.
The weather will always be unpredictable but I think that a lot of the changes
we're seeing these days can be put down to mankind, we're doing a sterling job
of polluting the planet and I really think it's started to catch up with us...
mankind has been too greedy to think about looking at alternative sources of
energy etc that we could use that would be less harmful to the environment
because it was more expensive in the past despite the fact that they've been
around for decades... the vast majority of governments have always tended to be
very shortsighted when it comes to forking out money to try and do the
"right" thing for the environment because this means more money which
is unpopular with voters... it's only for example because oil prices have
increased so much that the greener alternatives have become viable now but they
have been available for quite a while, there's just been no incentive for
governments to try and push them to get the public/petrol stations or carmakers
to take it on board... we've always been polluters on this planet but personally
I believe it only really took off when we had the Industrial Revolution and
because the effects have been gradual, we've tended to ignore it and get on with
our own agendas and now mother nature is making herself more vocal... not only
have we been polluting the planet, to add insult to injury, we've been chopping
down the rain forests and such which is just sheer stupidity in my mind. Mankind
has always dragged its heels on making things better for the long-term, the
Kyoto protocol may be filled with good intentions but did it come into effect
too late? At any rate, it's a start and countries no longer have the luxury of
burying their heads in the sand with regards to climate change etc we all need
to work together to try and lessen the effects we're having on our planet... any
changes made by us won't be felt for many years hence I should imagine but
somewhere down the line they will be so it is worth trying to do something about
it. I think we should try and help emerging powerhouses like China and India by
giving them financial incentives to encourage them to take up more
environmentally friendly ways of taking up their new places in the world order
so to speak. We may not have known what we were doing as countries when we went
through our own Industrial revolutions but we know better now and we're only now
just beginning to reap our rewards where the environment is concerned... we
should help out those other countries to do it in a much more environmentally
friendly manner... we're always making progress on the science and technology
side of things so we can make a difference to help lessen the environmental foot
prints we leave behind us but this should go hand-in-hand with other such things
such as pushing forward with more renewable energy, recycling and looking after
what little is left of our rainforests etc we've got to try and think about the
future generations and not just the here and now...
